Chapter 832: A Plan to Drive the Tiger and Devour the Wolf (Second Update)
Li Guo recommended Li Zicheng's third brother Li Zijing to inherit the throne of the Great Shun Army.
Although Li Zijing is far from being as famous as Li Zicheng, and even compared with Li Guo, Liu Zongmin, Tian Jianxiu and others, there are many people who have not even heard of his fame, but he is Li Zicheng's younger brother and a compatriot.
Moreover, Li Zijing also accompanied Li Zicheng in the uprising for many years, fighting in the south and the north, blocking the east and killing the west, and also made a lot of contributions to the Dashun army.
Although it was not ranked among the 24 generals, it was also a distinguished achievement.
No one dared to speak at this time, including these generals who supported Liu Zongmin, and they did not dare to oppose it.
Even Li Zicheng's wife, Empress Gao Guiying, agreed, this woman is not simple, he knows that Li Guo is far-sighted, and in order to maintain the unity of the Dashun army, he gave up the throne that should have been inherited to Li Zijing.
In terms of military exploits and the status of the Dashun Army, Li Guo is second only to Liu Zongmin, this is Li Zicheng's own nephew, and he is nicknamed a tiger.
In fact, Liu Zongmin is in the Dashun Army Group, no matter what aspect of seniority, Liu Zongmin is Li Zicheng's second. But since the Dashun army entered Beijing, Liu Zongmin has been confused.
Arrogant and domineering, roasting officials to help pay, arson robbery, and even daring to confront Li Zicheng in person, these are secondary, his biggest sin is to occupy Chen Yuanyuan, which led to Wu Sangui, who had promised to surrender to Dashun, to rebel, and then there was the defeat of Shanhaiguan, which caused irreparable losses to the Dashun army, and this account must of course be counted on his head.
Therefore, the current Liu Zongmin has lost the support of many military generals. If it is a vote or a show of hands, Liu Zongmin can't compete with Li Guo now.
Li Zicheng had no children under his knees, and Li Guo succeeded him as the general ruler after Li Zicheng's death, which is also completely in line with legal principles. But with Liu Zongmin and others opposing, then this matter will not be easy to handle.
Now Li Zicheng's brother inherited the emperor's throne is not bad, brother and brother, the Ming Dynasty inherited the throne in this way, not to mention their Dashun Dynasty.
Therefore, although Liu Zongmin is not convinced, he has no choice but to agree.
In this way, Li Zijing succeeded Li Zicheng and succeeded him as Emperor of the Great Shun Army.
But in the next step of the military operation, there was another disagreement, Li Guo and Tian Jianxiu and others advocated continuing to attack the Ming Dynasty, and the enemy of the Dashun army was, of course, the Ming Dynasty.
However, Liu Zongmin disagreed, believing that the main enemy of the Dashun army was not the Ming army, but Wu Sangui. He wanted to avenge Li Zicheng, and he advocated crossing the river to attack Wu Sangui, because it was Wu Sangui who chased and killed them all the way, and Li Zicheng would die in Jiugong Mountain.
Liu Zongmin's arrogance and arrogance came up again, he didn't listen to the advice of others at all, nor did he listen to Li Zijing's will, and pulled away more than 10,000 people, and Liu Zongmin went with them, including the generals Hao Shaoqi, Dang Shousu, and Liu Tichun, all of whom were on the list of Li Zicheng's 24 generals.
Li Zijing couldn't restrain Liu Zongmin, and Li Guo and Tian Jianxiu couldn't do anything, and now their think tanks Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance were all missing, and this time the vitality of the split Dashun army was greatly damaged.
Because of the support of Empress Gao Guiying here, Li Zijing is the emperor, and Li Guo, of course, their more than 30,000 horses are the main force of the Dashun army.
After recuperating for more than a month, Li Guo, Tian Jianxiu and others pulled out the team and began to attack Jingzhou.
And Liu Zongmin's team met Song Xiance halfway through, and Song Xiance is now against Niu Jinxing, because he heard that Niu Jinxing had surrendered to Wu Sangui.
Song Xiance also hated Niu Jinxing, the Dashun Army has come to this point, and Niu Jinxing, as the prime minister, is to blame. Song Xiance began to support Liu Zongmin again, still under the banner of the Dashun Army, planning to fight against Wu Sangui in Jiangbei.
Liu Zongmin was overjoyed, and under the planning of Song Xiance, his more than 10,000 Shun troops bypassed Huangshi and planned to cross the river......
These news can't be compiled, and the Jinyi guards sent by Chongzhen came to report one after another, and dozens of Jinyi guards had the same caliber, Wang Chengen and others had to believe it.
"Ye is really a god." Wang Chengen admired Chongzhen even more, and these Jinyi Wei masters around him, including these martial arts people, as well as Huang Degong, Liu Zhaoji and others, shocked Chongzhen as a celestial.
Even the date and place of Li Zicheng's death, Chongzhen can say it, it seems that their Martial Emperor Chongzhen is the true son of heaven, and he is real
of the gods.
Wang Chengen, Huang Degong, Liu Zhaoji and other generals celebrated that the bandit Li Zicheng was finally dead, and the Ming court had one less opponent, which was of course a great joy for the Ming Dynasty.
Since then, the Dashun army has actually existed in name only, and the remaining remnants of the defeated generals can't afford to toss any big waves.
Chongzhen also laughed, and then immediately sent an edict to send Liu Zhaoji to lead 50,000 troops to rescue Jingzhou, Tang Wancai and Li Miniang listened to the army, and Wuchang contracted the front of the army, so that Liu Zongmin, the partial division of the Dashun army, crossed the Yangtze River safely from the Huangshi area, and did not stop it.
Let them settle accounts with Wu Sangui.
Wang Chengen's big white face turned into a flower, and he praised it again and again, "Ye is really clever, this trick to drive the tiger and devour the wolf is really high, Ye can sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman, and when the time comes, he will clean up both of them." It's just that Liu Zongmin is afraid that he is not Wu Sangui's opponent, after all, even the thieves were defeated by Wu Sangui's men."
Chongzhen said with a smile: "Haha Wang Daban is not bad, but Li Zicheng was not defeated in the hands of Wu Sangui, but in the joint efforts of Wu Sangui and the Manchu Dynasty, and was defeated in the hands of the martial arts masters invited by Wu Sangui. Now that Liu Zongmin's strength is weaker, I will help Liu Zongmin next to clean up Wu Sangui, a chaotic minister and thief."
Wang Chengen's big white face was stunned, "Lord wants to help Liu Zongmin?"
Previously, Chongzhen had been indulging Wu Sangui and chasing and killing Li Zicheng, and a large number of Ming troops were chasing but not killing behind the Wu army, which was actually helping Wu Sangui and cleaning up Li Zicheng.
Now that Li Zicheng is finished, and Chongzhen wants to help Liu Zongmin again, Wang Chengen is a little puzzled.
Chongzhen laughed loudly, "Wang Daban, I just want to have a good time with them, for Li Zicheng and Wu Sangui, whoever is strong will fight whoever is strong, and whoever is weak will support whoever is weak, until they are all defeated, this is the real tiger and wolf, hahaha......
Wang Chengen looked at Chongzhen again, and felt a little strange, even if Zhuge Kongming used soldiers, it was nothing more than that, it seemed that God blessed the Ming Dynasty, so that the emperor had such a literary and martial arts strategy.
"Master, will the plan be released?"
Chongzhen said: "Let the leader of the White Lotus Sect, the leader of the Heaven and Earth Sect, the leader of the Beggar Gang, and the head of the Wuyue Sword Sect, all these martial arts masters go to help Liu Zongmin secretly, can't they still clean up Wu Sangui's Guanning Iron Cavalry and Manchu Qing Dynasty?"
"The emperor's chances of winning, then the master's private affairs?"
Chongzhen said: "Parallelly, I will set off tomorrow, let Li Moran, Lu Xiaofeng, White Lotus, and White Chrysanthemum prepare and travel with me." In addition, he ordered Huang Degong to lead the brigade to continue the westward expedition, and there must be no mistake in attacking Chongqing, and Gu Shunyi will obey the army."
"Old slave commands." Wang Chengen agreed, bowed down and bowed, and then went down to deliver the decree.
Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty Chongzhen
