Above the mountain, covered with snow, under the mountain, on a gently undulating slope, at this time it was already full of new Dashun soldiers who were about to accompany Li Zicheng, the son of Yongchang in Dashun, to start the last fight of his life.

The 12,000 warriors ranged from white-haired old men to immature teenagers, most of whom were loyal orphans of the Great Shun Dynasty who came from Kuidong.

They are now organized into five battalions: front, rear, left, right, and center. Each battalion had 2,400 soldiers, and was divided into two brigades, the left and right, and the artillery team, the horse team, the personal army team, and the baggage team.

Among them, the flag of the front battalion is black, the rear battalion is yellow, the left battalion is white, the right battalion is red, and the middle battalion is cyan.

All the warriors were dressed in green robes, wearing white felt hats, and standing with their weapons in their armor. Each battalion formed two brigade phalanxes plus a battalion division small phalanx, and the five battalions and fifteen formations were placed all over the mountains, and the momentum was amazing when they looked at!

In the original history, most of them had followed Liu Yihu, and once again played the banner of breaking the king during the rebellion of the three feudatories, and carried out the final struggle. It's a pity that he ran into Chen Shikai and Chen Tietou, the fierce generals - although in Lingdingyang, this landlubber was killed by the old pirate Zhu Tiangui for generations, but in the Kuidong Mountains, after dealing with the heroes for half a lifetime, this Chen Tietou is not so easy to deal with.

In the historical Battle of Wushan, Chen Shikai's green battalion soldiers were exhausted, and Liu Yihu had just gathered, and he had not really recovered from years of farming and production, and became a soldier's remnant party again. With the blood of the remnants of the camp, he stained his own top red.

However, in this round of the "Three Feudatories Uprising", Wu Sangui's main direction of advance was from Sichuan to Shaanxi and Gansu, and he once used Chongqing as his temporary base camp. also sent his eldest son Wu Yingxiong to Kuizhou Mansion, and the anti-Qing momentum in Kuidong was greatly boosted!

And Chen Shikai and the backbone under his command were taken to Guangdong by their old boss's son Li Lan. As a result, Liu Yihu led the remnants of the camp to seize the battle of Wushan, and there was no suspense about winning.

This battle, which has no suspense and has not attracted much attention even in this great era, has allowed Li Zicheng to obtain the "second first pot of gold" to rise again.

After experiencing successes and failures, and having come into contact with the "true scriptures" of rebellion such as "The World is Public" and "The Heavenly Dynasty Tianmu System", it can be said that Li Zicheng, who has understood the way of rebellion, as long as he has the first pot of gold in rebellion, of course, he can start working again!

And this time. He is not in a hurry to work hard, he has been waiting for more than 20 years, is there still a few months to a year left?

And he is not in a hurry to be the emperor. It's not that I haven't been there, that's it.

Instead of shouting and raising a banner that can't be carried at all, it is better to spend more time and slowly polish your rebel team.

After the fall from "supporting millions of people" to chanting scriptures in small temples, Li Zicheng has already understood the truth of "military affairs are fine, not too much", claiming that millions are useless, once the elite suffers a heavy blow, the millions of people will soon disperse.

Therefore, this time he wants to come to a great shun less than 10,000, full of invincible!

After more than half a year of training, his "elite of the old battalion" was finally pulled up again.

For the sake of these 12,000 elites, Li Zicheng and his remnants of the camp really made a bloody capital - not their own blood capital, after more than 20 years of hard work, this group of people no longer has much capital. Fortunately, they took advantage of Wu Sangui's uprising, the Qing army was defeated and fell into chaos for a time, and seized this large plain between the Yuan River, the Yangtze River, Dongting Lake and the Kuidong Mountains, although it is not as rich as the four counties and one town controlled by Wang Zhongxiao, but there are also endless paddy fields, and the population is not small.

If there are many paddy fields and a large population, there will not be too few gentry and landlords. If you go to the field and copy the house, won't this blood come out?

And this blood capital has now become the cloth iron armor draped on the soldiers of the old battalion, the shotgun on the shoulder, the waist knife and bow and arrow on the waist, the spear in the hand, and the bronze cannon placed in front of the front and rear of the front and right middle five battalion arrays!

It is now the first month of the twelfth year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, and it is also the first month of the twenty-eighth year of Dashun Yongchang in the minds of Li Zicheng and all the soldiers of the old camp of Dashun who have not forgotten to restore the Dashun country.

After many years of seclusion in Jiashan and the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha, Li Zicheng, who was already as calm as water, now has an old face, but everyone can feel how he can't hide his excitement at the moment.

This is his army, his hard work, and the backbone of the army to rebuild the world in the future! He worked hard alone, endured on the mountain for many years, summed up his lessons, accumulated strength, and waited for the opportunity, which finally made him "enlighten and succeed", and also made him wait for the opportunity to rise again. Heaven is too kind to him Li Zicheng. He, Li Zicheng, must not live up to this providence!

It seems that the person chosen by God is him Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng slammed his throat open: "Shuntian responds to the people, Fengtian fights for Hu's army, and now there are more than 12,000 invincible elite soldiers!" If there are 10,000 elite soldiers, they will be invincible, and I will be full of elite soldiers, which is full of 10,000 and invincible elites! Among the gentlemen, there are many people who have followed me Li Fengtian to fight in the east and west, and have also established a lot of achievements, but unfortunately, in the end, they fell short because of the Tatars entering China.

Great Shun Dynasty! I don't know how many people shed blood and sweat to lay the country, and the country fell apart in less than a year! For more than 20 years, Li Fengtian has been meditating day and night, asking himself why? Why can't you beat the Tartars and hold the country?

I thought about it for twenty years, and finally figured it out. They are developing too fast, and they are up all at once. No, I don't know how to manage a piece of land, and I don't know how to really hold the people in my hands. Only with territory and people can we stand firm and last, withstand the test of ups and downs, and train a truly invincible elite!

And God really favors them, and now they have given them a second chance, so that they have a good place in this great world between Jinghu Lake. So that you can recharge your energy here and train the elite soldiers who are full of thousands of enemies!

This is the will of God, and the heavens will not stop me, and I am a heroic man."

Li Zicheng raised his head and looked at a flag hanging above his head, and all the officers and soldiers of the old battalion also looked at the flag. For a while, I only heard the sound of flag hunting and fluttering. The banner is tattooed with two vigorous and powerful characters - Mukden!

Fengtian is the name that Li Zicheng used when he became a monk in Jiashan, and it is also the new military name of this reborn Dashun army.

Although everyone knows that Li Zicheng has been "resurrected", there is still some work to be done on the surface. If Li Zicheng plays the banner of Dashun and cooperates with Wu Sangui and Wu Yingxiong, I am afraid that he will not be able to sustain it.

So after thinking about it again, Li Zicheng's army played the military horn of "Fengtian Battalion", so that everyone who understands understands, and those who are willing to pretend to be confused can continue to pretend.

"This is your new military flag, your new military trumpet!" Li Zicheng raised his finger and pointed to the big banner, "From now on, you are the Fengtian army, and the merits of serving the orders of heaven, begging Hu Lu, and recovering the Chinese monarchs will surely go down in history!" ”

The 12,000 Dashun soldiers immediately thundered with joy and shouted together: "Fengtian! Mukden! Mukden."

Li Zicheng waved his arm, pointed to the southeast, and shouted: "Send troops to fight Hu Changde Mansion City!" ”

"Send troops, ask for Hu!"

On the hillside, the cheers thundered again!

Although Li Zicheng called himself Li Fengtian to the outside world and hung up the sign of Wu Sangui's regime, the movement he made in Lizhou, Changde, Jingzhou and other places was too big!

Not to mention Lu Zhen, the governor of Hunan on the side of the Qing Dynasty (the official name at this time was the governor of Biyuan), Zhao Lai, the governor of Hunan, and Shi Huashan, the presidential minister of Changsha Daying, even the old monk of Shunzhi who was far away in Wutai Mountain already knew that his old opponent was back.

Of course, Kangxi already knew. Therefore, before the others arrived in Xi'an, they gave orders to Cai Yurong, the governor of Huguang, Ezha, the president of Jingzhou Daying, Shi Huashan, the president of Changsha Daying, Lu Zhen, the governor of Hunan, Zhang Chaozhen, the governor of Hubei, and Babur, the commander of the Eight Banners of Jingzhou, and asked them to exterminate Li Zicheng as soon as possible.

But the question is, what is the quick method?

The Qing Dynasty's troops in Huguang were limited, and if we didn't count the small green battalions scattered around the flood guards and couldn't move at all, the troops that could really be gathered to fight the battle, that is, the new army of the two large battalions, the Eight Banners of Jingzhou Garrison, and the Governor of Huguang, the Governor of Hubei, the Governor of Hunan, the Governor of Hubei, the Governor of Hunan, and several pacesetters of the general army. The total is 450,000. The number of people looks like a lot, but it is very scattered, and there are as many as eight governor-level ministers in charge of these 40,000 or 50,000 soldiers!

Although Kangxi had already asked the presidential minister of Jingzhou Daying, Xinjun Wang Ezha, to the army, and also sealed General Fuyuan to Eza.

However, if the president of Ozha wants to unify Huguang, a bunch of governors, governors, and admirals, it is still difficult for the pacesetters to be the governor's direct pro-army! It is to escort and support the scene for the governors.

In addition, the governor and governor of the Qing Dynasty did not have a second official, and the dignified governor yamen and governor yamen looked very awesome, but in addition to the pacesetters, the governor himself was "organized".

If Oza pulls away all their pacesetters, the superintendent will become a real light pole. In this chaos, which governor is willing to be a light pole? If you encounter an uprising or something, and you don't have a pacesetter in your hand, won't you just have to wait for death?

Therefore, the army that can actually be used by Ozha is only the new army under the two presidential battalions, a part of the Eight Banners Defense Army, and a part of the Green Battalion under the control of the commander and the chief soldier, and there are more than 20,000 people.

And more than 20,000 people also scored on both sides, looking at Jiangbei and Jiangnan respectively.

In order to facilitate the dispatch of the Qing army in Jiangbei and Jiangnan, Oza set up a camp in Yuezhou, and he himself brought 2,000 new troops of the Eight Banners to be stationed there.

And when the news that Li Zicheng sent troops to attack Changde Fucheng, which had been surrounded by the local government soldiers of the "Fengtian Camp" for several months, regardless of the cold and freezing, reached Yuezhou, Ezha was holding a conference in Yuezhou with Cai Yurong, Lu Zhen, Zhang Chaozhen, Babur, Shi Huashan and others!

The content of the discussion at the conference was not to encircle and suppress Li Zicheng, but how to resist the army of Wu Guogui and Zu Zeqing!

Wu Guogui and Zu Zeqing met in Baoqing Mansion two months ago, when Wu Guogui had already gathered some of the Hunan Green Battalion and local Haoqiang who had returned to Shun, and the total strength had increased from 30,000 at the beginning to 40,000, plus Zu Zeqing's 5,000 people, the total strength had 45,000!

After the two met, they quickly split up, Zu Zeqing went north to attack Chenzhou, while Wu Guogui continued to besiege Baoqing.

The Chenzhou guard general on the Qing Dynasty was named Lin Xingzhu, who was originally Zheng Chenggong's subordinate, and later took refuge in the Qing Dynasty and became an official deputy general, but he was in charge of the general's affairs. He has hundreds of Fujian rattan soldiers under his hands, who are claimed to be able to restrain muskets, and are very brave in hand-to-hand combat!

It's a pity that Zu Zeqing has hundreds of Guanning "second generation cavalry" under him - where are the rattan soldiers the opponents of the cavalry? Lin Xingzhu saw that he couldn't beat him, so he simply surrendered!

Chenzhou Mansion did not have the elite of the green camp led by him, so it was naturally over quickly, and before the Spring Festival, it was all controlled by Zu Zeqing.

And Wu Guogui is even more fierce, his 40,000 army in the territory of Baoqing Mansion such as no one's land, before the New Year took the whole of Baoqing Mansion, after the New Year began to advance to the territory of Changsha Mansion, and now has taken Xiangxiang, Xiangtan, cut off the Xiangjiang River channel. If the situation continues to develop like this, Ozha will no longer have to wait for Wang Fuchen to bring the alliance army of the Eight Domains to rescue, and Wang Fuchen's northward route will be cut off.

The situation in Hunan was so critical that Ozha had to convene everyone in Yuezhou to discuss countermeasures, but the countermeasures to resist Wu's army had not yet been discussed, and a bigger "thunder" exploded again.

The Qing army hit the nail next to Li Zicheng - Changde Mansion City is being surrounded by 20,000 elite Shun troops, and it is about to fall!

"Twenty thousand! How come there are 20,000 again? ”

Listening to the report of the subordinates, Eza, who was already holding back the fire in his belly, broke out on the spot.

"Wu Guogui has 50,000, Zu Zeqing also said that there are 10,000, and now there are 20,000 Li Zicheng's 20,000 people, how many people are there? Eighty thousand! That's 80,000! Isn't Wu Sangui's main attack on Guan Long? It has to be close to the world. Why did he send so many soldiers to Huguang?

Also, aren't Wu Sangui and Li Zicheng enemies? Li Zicheng killed Wu Sangui's Ama and his family of more than 30 people. Wu Sangui broke Li Zicheng's Dashun Jiangshan. Why are they all coming to beat me now? They can fight a dozen of them themselves! ”

Hearing what Ezha said, Lu Zhen, the governor of Hunan who was sitting in the lobby, immediately began to ask for reinforcements, "Lord Wang, it's no good. If the army of Hubei does not come again, Hunan will be lost! And the emperor has already issued an order, let us exterminate Li Zicheng as soon as possible! Now this Li Zicheng has not only not been destroyed, but is getting stronger and stronger, how can he get it if he goes on like this? ”

The relationship between this Lu Zhen and Ezha is very "close", his wife is Fan Wencheng's daughter, and his mother-in-law has served Eza's grandfather. What is the relationship? Anyway, it's a loved one!

Therefore, Ozha can't watch Lu Zhen lose his ground and die for the country, looking at his bear appearance, it seems that he can't repay the king with a death, in case he can't hold it and surrender Wu Sangui, or even Li Zicheng, then Ozha will have to be scolded and criticized.

It's hard to even toss the prince!

And it is true that Li Zicheng cannot be allowed to grow all the time. If you continue to make it bigger, Li Zicheng may become it again. The current emperor of the Qing Dynasty seems to have taken the cards of Emperor Chongzhen!

You have to kill Li Zicheng quickly, otherwise you will go to the coal mountain!

Thinking of this, Ozha turned his head and looked at Babur, the capital of Jingzhou, and Cai Yurong, the governor of Huguang - Ozha, the prince, is not capable, and he basically listens to the arrangements of these two in military affairs.

Babur was a Mongol, short and stocky, and he looked very fierce, and immediately said: "Lord Wang, Li Zicheng's elite soldiers have all gone south to Changde, and his old camp must be empty. It's better to lead 10,000 Eight Banners to smuggle across the Yangtze River and attack Shimen! ”

Cai Yurong looked smarter, with a smart face, and at this time, he was thinking hard with his beard, and when he heard Babur's suggestion to surprise attack the stone gate, he just sighed: "That's all. Fight, if it can be done, the situation in Huguang can still be done, otherwise you can only retreat to Jingzhou and Wuchang, and block the Yangtze River for the emperor. ”

Ozha also nodded, "Okay, listen to you. Fight, win and completely turn the tables, and if you lose, it's a big deal to ask the emperor for guilt! But. If you want to fight, is it too little to dispatch only 10,000 Eight Banner soldiers? ”

"Less? What do you mean, Lord Wang?"

Ozha smiled and said, "Fighting, you are experts, and I am an expert in gambling!" Now if we want to fight for a comeback, then we have to bet heavily, dare to bet, and must not hesitate to wait for half of it. If the next half of the bet is lost, can the remaining half be saved? If you can't keep it, you will lose it sooner or later, it's better to play a big ticket, all fucking bets, and fix the country! ”
