After listening to Hu Guozhu's report, Chongzhen really didn't know whether to be happy or frustrated?

After he crossed over to this world, he worked hard to do many things, even issued an edict to capture him, and left Li Zicheng with Li Yan, a general who could fight, but he still failed to change the course of history?

Duoduo's army was actually attracted to Huaiqing Mansion?

Then after the battle of Huaiqing Mansion, will Duoduo continue to enter Tongguan westward?

Then Li Zicheng was forced to take the army that had already gone north to Tongguan south.

Then he was defeated by Duoduo in Tongguan, and Li Zicheng was in a hurry, and he gave up Xi'an and Guanzhong directly without waiting for Li Yan and Gao Yigong's troops to converge in the south?

And then the thieves wandered all the way to Hubei again?

Thinking of this, Chongzhen couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand.

Chongzhen suddenly wanted to know, what would Li Zicheng's reaction be when he learned the news?

Is it to express appreciation for the heroic performance of the remnants of the Dashun army in southern Jin and western Henan? Or was he angry with Yuan Zongdi and Liu Yongfu's unauthorized actions?

……

Li Zicheng is not aware of this news now.

Because the counteroffensive launched by Yuan Zongdi and Chen Yongfu from western Henan and southern Jin to Huaiqing Mansion was only a spontaneous action, that is, Li Zicheng's consent was not obtained.

From this, we can see the hidden worries of the Dashun army.

These high-ranking generals of the Dashun Army were too casual.

Or to put it another way, these "commanders of military regions" of the Dashun Army enjoy too much power and can directly start a war without the approval of the central authorities.

Now let's talk about Chen Yongfu and Yuan Zongdi.

When Li Zicheng passed through Shanxi, he left Chen Yongfu to guard Taiyuan.

Although Chen Yongfu was a general, he was very loyal to Li Zicheng, and Jueluo Bahana besieged Taiyuan for several months, unable to advance an inch, and had no choice but to ask Dolgon for help.

Dorgon sent Yechen to lead an army to help in the battle.

Li Zicheng also asked Li Yan to send troops to rescue Taiyuan.

However, Li Yan did not directly reinforce Taiyuan, but adopted the tactics of encircling Wei to save Zhao, bypassing Taiyuan to attack Datong.

Hearing the news, Dorgon ordered Bahana to send reinforcements north.

Li Yan set up an ambush in the middle of the way and trapped Bahana in one fell swoop.

It's a pity that at the critical moment, Shi Tingzhu led the Eight Banners Han Army to arrive.

Because Li Yan did not continue to have food and grass, Tang Tong, who had been defeated and fled before, made a comeback, and there was a risk that the back road would be cut off, so for safety reasons, Li Yan finally withdrew his troops and returned to Suidezhou.

Li Yan's retreat, Taiyuan will no longer be able to hold on.

Chen Yongfu also resolutely abandoned the city and led the remnants to retreat to the mountainous area of southern Jin.

After talking about Chen Yongfu, let's talk about Yuan Zongdi, who is the commander of the Dashun Army in the direction of Henan.

However, when Jiannu pursued in a big way before, in addition to sending the main force to chase and kill the main force of Li Zicheng's Dashun army in the direction of Guguan, there was also a partial division to the south and enter Henan.

In the face of Zu Kefa Jinyu and Gao Di, Yuan Zongdi's troops were defeated in successive battles, and successively lost Zhangde Mansion, Weihui Mansion and Huaiqing Mansion, Runing Mansion, Nanyang Mansion, Kaifeng Mansion, Guide Mansion and the Ming Dynasty Surrender Army also rebelled one after another, in this case, the remnants of Yuan Zongdi could not withstand it at all, so they could only retreat to the mountainous area of western Henan.

The remnants of Chen Yongfu and Yuan Zongdi had been holding out in the mountainous areas of southern Henan for three or four months.

The purpose of launching a counteroffensive against Huaiqing Mansion this time is actually very simple, that is, to raise food.

Because the southern Jinxi and western Henan regions are mountainous areas, the places are narrow, and the people are also barren, and it is difficult to raise grain.

The Guanzhong area had suffered a series of disasters in the previous years, and even Li Zicheng's main army was facing the dilemma of a shortage of military rations, so Yuan Zongdi and Chen Yongfu did not ask for help from Guanzhong.

With no grain and grass inside and no aid outside, Yuan Zongdi and Chen Yongfu could only raise food from outside, otherwise it would be difficult for the tens of thousands of troops under their command to survive this cold winter.

Raising food from outside is nothing more than two directions.

One is the Ming Dynasty, the other is the Qing court, Dashun and the Ming Dynasty have now formed an alliance, naturally they can't start the war lightly, Shanxi is barren and poor, and there is no grain to collect, so they can only launch a counteroffensive in the direction of Huaiqing Mansion and Weihui Mansion, and strive to get some food from the hands of the Qing court, and by the way, they can also wash away the shame.

Really, Yuan Zongdi and Chen Yongfu just wanted to raise some food, and really didn't expect to lure Duoduo's army over, and then bring ruin to the Dashun court.

If they had known this beforehand, the two would have preferred to starve to death rather than send troops.

Unfortunately, there were no ubiquitous spies in this era, let alone radios, so Yuan Zongdi and Chen Yongfu had no idea that Duoduo's army of 60,000 happened to go to Texas.

Yuan Zongdi and Chen Yongfu joined forces, first destroyed Jin Yuhe, the general soldier of Huaiqing in the Qing court, and then ransacked Huaiqing Mansion, but they did not grab much food, so they went east and entered Weihui Mansion.

At this time, the 30,000 troops of Yuan and Chen were attacking Xinxiang County.

Zu Kefa's 3,000 troops were defending Xinxiang County, and they were in danger.

However, at this time, Li Zicheng in Xi'an did not know what was happening in Weihui Mansion.

However, Li Yan, who was guarding northern Shaanxi, sent an urgent letter to Xi'an, reporting to Li Zicheng that Azig led the main force of Jiannu, and together with the Ming army, Jiang Jiu and Wang Daye, the generals of the Ming army, took advantage of the Tumut Mongols to turn south to attack northern Shaanxi.

Li Yan's intelligence work is still very good, not only found out that the commander of Jiannu is Azig, but even found out that the total strength of Jiannu is about 200,000.

This number of troops is still very reliable.

Because the Eight Banners Manchuria, Eight Banners Mongolia and Eight Banners Han armies led by Azig were about 100,000 people, in addition to about 60,000 Baoyi minions, plus the 30,000 or 40,000 Ming Dynasty troops such as Jiang Jiu, Tang Tong and Wang Daye, etc., it was almost 200,000 people, even if there were any discrepancies, there would not be too much difference.

Li Yan also specially reported a message to Li Zicheng.

It was Wu Sangui who also sent troops with Azig.

After receiving Li Yan's urgent delivery, Li Zicheng immediately began to gather the main force of the Dashun army.

To this day, Li Zicheng is haunted by the defeat of Shanhaiguan, and he always believes that the Dashun army was defeated very unjustly in the battle of Shanhaiguan, and if it were not for Wu Sangui, a dog traitor, the Dashun army would not have been defeated at all.

Therefore, Li Zicheng hated Jiannu, but he hated Wu Sangui even more, and he couldn't wait to peel Wu Sangui's skin.

So as soon as he heard that Azig led 200,000 Jiannu to prepare to cut down Shun, and Wu Sangui also came, Li Zicheng's first reaction was not fear, but excitement, God gave him a chance to be ashamed.

Li Zicheng swore that this time he must win a big victory in northern Shaanxi, put a hard brake on the prestige of Jiannu, and it is best to capture Wu Sangui, a dog traitor, alive and escort him back to Xi'an to skin and cramp.

So after receiving Li Yan's urgent delivery, Li Zicheng immediately began to gather the main force.

In addition to Chen Yongfu in southern Jinnan and Yuan Zongdi in western Henan, he did not move, and the troops sent to expedition to Qinghai and Gansu were not transferred back, Li Zicheng even transferred most of the Bai Wang's troops in Xiangyang, leaving only 5,000 people.

By the way, Zuo Maodi, the envoy sent to Dashun by the Ming Dynasty, was still in Xi'an at this time.

It's not that Zuo Maodi doesn't want to go back, but Li Zicheng doesn't let him go, and Li Zicheng doesn't know which tendon is wrong, maybe because he was moved by Zuo Maodi's eloquence, he actually gave birth to a heart of love and wanted to surrender Zuo Maodi.

The reason why Li Zicheng took most of the Bai Wang's troops guarding Xiangyang was that he listened to Zuo Maodi's deception, and Zuo Maodi told him that since Dashun had formed an alliance with the Ming Dynasty, the two countries should treat each other with sincerity, and should withdraw troops in both directions, and at the same time reduce the number of troops stationed in the border areas to show each other sincerity.

Zuo Mao first persuaded Li Zicheng, and at the same time wrote a letter to Zuo Liangyu.

One more thing, Zuo Liangyu was already seriously ill in bed at this time, and his consciousness was not clear, so Wuchang military affairs were actually presided over by He Tengjiao.

He Tengjiao's ability is still quite strong.

Taking advantage of Zuo Liangyu's illness in bed, there was the royal flag and Shang Fang's sword given by Chongzhen, which successfully deterred the group of arrogant generals under Zuo Liangyu.

After He Tengjiao received Zuo Maodi's letter, he immediately greatly reduced the number of garrisons in Jingzhou, Chengtian, and the southern part of Huangzhou Prefecture to show his sincerity to the Dashun army.

After Li Zicheng received the military report, it happened that Li Yan sent another urgent delivery, so he reciprocated Li and transferred Bai Wang's main force to Hanzhong to guard against Zhang Xianzhong, who had already occupied Sichuan, and there were only 5,000 old battalions left in Hubei plus more than 20,000 people.

In short, such a situation was in Xi'an, where Li Zicheng was gathering troops and preparing to go north.

As for Zhang Xianzhong, who had just entered Sichuan, he was busy ascending the throne as emperor and establishing the Daxi regime.

At the beginning of the founding of the Daxi regime, Zhang Xianzhong was compiling almanacs, raising furnaces to mint money, opening science and taking scholars, and issuing a three-year exemption to the people of Sichuan, and he did a lot of work, so at this time, Zhang Xianzhong didn't have the heart to take care of things outside Sichuan, and only wanted to be his king in Sichuan.

……

In Xuzhou, Chongzhen temporarily convened a military meeting in front of the emperor.

Attending the meeting were Ma Huabao, Jin Shenghuan and other ten town commanders, Tuntian Yushi and the right Yushi Du Yinxi, the chief soldier of the Navy Division Zheng Hongkui, and the military department Langzhong and the temporary chief military officer Jin Xuan.

Zheng Hongkui was promoted, and the sailor guerrilla became the chief soldier of the sailor.

Kim Hyun was also promoted, and Wailang, a member of the military department, was promoted to Langzhong of the military department.

In addition, there were 64 scholars and chiefs, including Zhu Cijiong, the king of Ding, Wang Chengen, the eunuch Wang Chengen, Zheng Sen, Chen Zilong, Xia Yunyi, and Fang Yizhi.

Standing in the hall, Zheng Sen, Xia Yunyi and other scholars had thunder in their chests.

Although they did not have official robes such as Du Yinxi and Jin Xuan, nor did they have the majestic mountain armor worn by Ma Huabao and Jin Shenghuan, this did not affect their sense of participation in the slightest.

It was also at this moment that the sixty-four sergeants really realized that they had entered the center of power.

It is also from this moment that their words and suggestions may determine the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty, which also means that they finally have the opportunity to show their ambitions and do something beneficial to the world.

This is also the biggest and most essential difference between the old civil official group and the Qinwang Shizi.

The priority of the old civilian-bureaucratic clique was always to weaken the imperial power, close off the people's wisdom, and ensure the interests of their own class.

And the priority of the prince has become to ensure the interests of the common people of Lishu, then the authority of the emperor, and finally the interests of the official gentry class.

I don't know what the future holds.

But at least now, the Qinwang scholars are full of vitality and ideals.

At least for now, what the Qinwang scholars want is to reform the lives of their own class!

Because the Qinwang scholars found that the stubbornness and greed of the official gentry class had made the bureaucracy of the Ming Dynasty extremely inefficient and greedy, and also made it difficult for the people of the Ming Dynasty to breathe.

If you can't get rid of the Ming Dynasty's official gentry group, there will be no hope for the Ming Dynasty.

If you can't get rid of the officials of the Ming Dynasty, the gentry group, the vast number of Li Shu people will not be able to live a good life.

What King Qin's mind is full of is not how big an official should be, not to make meritorious contributions, establish virtues, and make words to achieve the position of a saint, not to mention being promoted to become an official and making a fortune, and to have a wife and a son, but just to make all the people in the world live a good life!

……

And this is also the original intention that Chongzhen instilled in King Qin's Shizi during the previous two-month long and bitter march.

Chongzhen wants to tell these scholars that your work is not for my Zhu family's merits, but for the merits of all people in the world, and your only mission as an official is to let the people live a good life.

Of course, it goes without saying that this is just the story told in the start-up phase.

When the business is successful, Chongzhen will tell another story.

The dragon slayer eventually becomes an evil dragon, this is the cyclical rate of history, and no one can transcend it.

Because human society needs a ruling class after all, and it can never be exempt from vulgarity.

When these diligent princes grow up and kill the old group of officials and gentry, it won't be long before they become the most disgusting appearance they once were.

But in essence, the Qinwang Shizi and the old group of officials and gentry are still two different classes.

The old group of officials and gentry represented the interests of the landlord class, while the Qinwang Shizi represented capital.

In short, as a traverser, Chongzhen knows better than anyone that the world of one family is unsustainable, Zhu Yuanzhang's desire to protect the world of the Zhu family forever through the cultivation of the clan has been proven to be wishful thinking, and Jiannu's iron-blooded slaughter and foolish pig raising policy can guarantee the world for the next three hundred years, but this is definitely not what Chongzhen wants.

Therefore, the general trend of history is mighty, and if you go with it, you will prosper, and if you go against it, you will die.

It is the general trend to open up the people's wisdom and gradually learn new, especially with the prosperity of industry and commerce in the Ming Dynasty, and with the gradual growth of the power of capital, it is no longer possible for the gentlemen to monopolize knowledge.

Therefore, the rise of the vast number of common people and Shu people has become the trend of the times.

Well, the so-called rise of the common people is actually the rise of industrial and commercial capital.

Therefore, the royal family must transform as soon as possible, from the largest landowner to the largest capitalist.

And these more than 6,000 Qin princes and the countless Shu clans they represent will also become the immediate interest class in the new era, and achieve a firm interest binding with the royal family.

Only in this way can the royal family continue to remain.

Otherwise, a great revolution will break out sooner or later.

The dragon sons and grandsons of the Zhu family will also be guillotined sooner or later.
