Chapter 315: Inflection Point
"Yang Wenyue was promoted to the right attendant of the military department, the governor of Baoding, Shandong, and Hebei military affairs, and the post of Sun Chuanting......"
On the side of Yanjing Mountain, Chen Wang held a horsewhip in his hand, looked at Quanshan Mountain in the south, and listened to Hu Zhili's report.
"Is Sun Chuanting still in prison after all......
Sun Chuanting's imprisonment has been delayed for a long time compared to history.
In the original time and space, Sun Chuanting was imprisoned in July, but now he was imprisoned in the first month of the second year.
The twists and turns in this, Chen Wang is not clear.
But he knew that Sun Chuanting's imprisonment must have a direct relationship with Yang Sichang.
Sun Chuanting was sharp, and he had already offended many people when he was the governor of Shaanxi.
At that time, the decree issued by Yang Sichang was completely vetoed by him, and even bluntly refuted.
Yang Sichang and Sun Chuanting's Liangzi had already been married by then.
After the victory at Qingshan Pass, although Chen Wang did not have too many channels to understand the situation in the court.
But after hearing the rumors, Sun Chuanting and Yang Sichang were already quite at odds.
The two disagreed politically and often fought-for-tat.
At that time, Chen Wang already had a premonition.
When it comes to marching and fighting, Yang Sichang is not as good as Sun Chuanting.
But when it comes to the struggle in the court and the conspiracy and tricks, Yang Sichang will definitely throw off Sun Chuanting for ten streets.
Lu Xiangsheng was born in the Lu clan of Mingling, and he had a very high reputation in the court, and he was helped by a number of ministers of the Donglin Party, but he was still suppressed by Yang Sichang.
This is already a means that can be seen Yang Sichang.
"Sun Chuanting is in prison, and the pattern in the north has changed, which is roughly the same as in the past, but many things have changed, and many things are different......
Chen Wang frowned, the situation in the north now, because of his influence, has changed a lot, and the towns on the nine sides can now be regarded as forging ahead, sweeping away a lot of decline.
In the Wuyin Change, the losses of the Ming court were much smaller than in history, and the gains of the Qing army were similarly reduced.
Under the advantages of the other, it also added more variables to the upcoming Battle of Songjin.
"But now is not the time to think about the North, and there are even more changes in the South."
Chen Wang thought in his heart, looking at the largest mountain in the south - Agate Mountain in Taiping County.
The agate mountain that almost made Zhang Xianzhong sink into the sand.
However, because of his own intervention, this time Zhang Xianzhong was not trapped on Agate Mountain, but only went around on it, and then transferred to Central Sichuan nearly a year in advance.
The current situation in the south, because of Chen Wang's influence, has already completely changed beyond recognition.
Except for the Fifth Battalion of the Revolutionary Left, which was still in the Ying and Huoshan Mountains, Luo Rucai was still trapped outside the Xingshan and Anshan Mountains.
The personal trajectories of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong have already undergone earth-shaking changes and embarked on a completely different path from history.
"What is the situation in the northern part of Hanzhong Mansion now?"
Chen Wang pondered for a moment and asked.
"Fengxian has fallen, and according to Brother Wang's general order, the northwest zone centered on Fengxian County will be abandoned, and the main forces will all be concentrated in Jitou Pass."
"There are about five or six thousand cavalry troops in the southward invasion army, and there are about 10,000 foot soldiers in the arms."
"Now in Jitou Pass, there are 3,000 guards, eight new artillery pieces made by the Ordnance Bureau, and more than 1,000 sea oath guns have been pulled over, and it is not a problem to block the thieves."
All aspects of the news were remembered by Hu Zhili by heart, and these important things were naturally remembered more clearly.
"Over there in Chuxian County, Zhou Yumao and Guan Qilin are guarding in Luoyang, and the two of them have a combined army of 4,000, as well as the newly repaired fortress ordered by Brother Wang."
"Chen Gong's reinforcement camp just passed Hanyin yesterday, the weather was windy and snowy, and the march was slow, so I am afraid that it will take five or six days to reach Hanzhong."
As soon as they arrived at the provincial border, news came from the northern part of Hanzhong Province that the army had invaded the south.
Li Zicheng fled from northern Sichuan to Minzhou Wei, and later entered Gongchang Mansion, and Chen Wang had already received these news.
"The situation in the north is not much different from what Brother Wang calculated, Li Zicheng didn't want to attack Hanzhong Mansion, he was just bluffing, in order to deal with Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai."
Fengxian is in the northwest of Hanzhong Prefecture, not in the Hanzhong Basin, so it is not easy to defend at all.
From the very beginning, Chen Wang did not include Feng County in the defense network, nor did he make any arrangements in Feng County, and the fall was a sure thing.
Fengxian lost it, and now for Chen Wang, the worst result is just a few reprimands without pain.
After all, now Chen Wang was ordered by Yang Sichang to garrison Yunyang and the eastern part of Hanzhong Mansion to encircle and suppress Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai.
"It is impossible for Li Zicheng to put all his troops in Hanzhong Mansion at this time."
Chen Wang took the reins of the war horse from the hands of the guards, stepped on the stirrups and made a slight effort, and he had already jumped on the horse's back.
Then Chen Wang held the reins in one hand and the whip in the other, and said in a deep voice to Hu Zhili on the side.
"However, the defense of Luoyang and Jitouguan still can't be relaxed, and we can't relax our vigilance because the possibility is small, Hanzhong Mansion has been operated by us for many years, and it is our basic plate, and we must not afford to lose."
"Brother Wang, don't worry."
On this kind of major event, Hu Zhili is naturally clear, and naturally he will not be perfunctory.
"In the vicinity of Gongchang Mansion and Feng County, there are eyes and ears of the supervision center."
Chen Wang bowed his head slightly and continued.
"Zheng Chongjian, the governor of the three sides, has also led He Renlong to pass through Tongguan, and Zu Dabi has also been transferred back to Shaanxi, these news will definitely not be hidden from Li Zicheng."
Chen Wang held the whip in one hand and the Yanling knife on his waist in the other, and his eyes fell from the Agate Mountain in the south to the group of armored soldiers standing on the mountain road.
Li Zicheng's movement in Shaanxi was too big, and Zheng Chongjian, who was originally in Henan to maintain stability, also led his troops back to Shaanxi.
These things are very different from history.
Li Zicheng was not in Shangluo Mountain as in history, so he did not enter Henan at the first time of Zhang Xianzhong's uprising.
Since Li Zichengzi started this time, he has never crossed the Tongguan Pass, and has always stirred up the storm in Shaanxi.
Only a small group of rogues roamed the territory of Henan, and then they were quickly quelled by the local soldiers of Henan.
The local army could not solve it, and it was also pacified by the Shaanxi soldiers who subsequently entered Henan to maintain stability.
The famine caused by the large-scale drought locust has barely been suppressed.
The popular uprising in Henan did not form a prairie fire under the leadership of Li Zicheng as it did in history.
However, the impact of the famine in Henan is still alive and has not been resolved.
And because of the arrival of winter, the people in Henan are becoming more and more sad.
Nowadays, on the surface of Henan's calm waves, there are actually countless undercurrents surging underneath......
But all of this has nothing to do with the current Chen Wang.
The affairs of Henan are too far away, and the affairs of the people's uprising are too big.
"Li Zicheng ......"
The future has changed, detached from the original process, and Chen Wang can be said to have no way of knowing what will happen in the future.
Now Li Zicheng's thoughts, Chen Wang is naturally impossible to understand.
Based solely on the trajectory of Li Zicheng's march and what he has done now, Chen Wang can't guess the true purpose of Li Zicheng's actions now.
Everything Li Zicheng is doing now seems to be the same as what Gao Yingxiang did at the beginning, without much growth, and still belongs to the category of Liukou.
But Chen Wang always felt that everything was not so simple, Li Zicheng was not a simple person, nor was he a person who could not learn.
Li Zicheng had several ups and downs in history, and was beaten by Sun Chuanting to only eighteen horsemen, but he was still unswerving and still high-spirited.
This is just like his uncle Gao Yingxiang.
Chen Wang stopped thinking and abandoned the chaotic thoughts in his mind.
He knew that he had now reached an inflection point in history.
Afar.
The mountains are continuous, and the peaks are long.
The country is picturesque, and there are many heroes at one time.
The torrent of the times carries the fate of individuals.
The fate of being held hostage by the times can only rise and fall with the times.
But now, because of the impact he had caused, the line of defense where the torrent would eventually flow has changed.
Although the torrent of the times is still rolling forward, countless things are changing.
If you owe a hundred, you will continue to make up tomorrow.
The next plot, I guess everyone didn't expect it, and it will definitely be different from all the battles for hegemony at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
Old book friends who have read my previous "The World of Yellow Heaven" should know that the plot I wrote will never follow the script, and there is nothing new along the trajectory of history, and most of the previous influences are foreshadowing.
This book is also my own book, and of course it is no exception.
