Chapter 206: I am so disappointed in Zhu Youzhen!
Zhu Youzhen is just for his own use, but in many cases, he will still listen to Wang Li's explanation!
Just like this time!
Wang Li's disobedience to the decree and usurped his authority, Zhu Youzhen did not blame!
Instead, he sent an edict to show full understanding and support!
The king is like this, Wang Li is naturally pleased!
After two months of disaster relief and rectification, the officials of the northwest provinces are in good order, and the wheat seedlings all over the mountains are lush!
Wang Li once felt that he could turn the tide!
However, the good times were short-lived!
The time has just arrived in May, and Zhu Youzhen's edict urging him to return to Beijing has arrived again!
This time, the big thing is not good!
On the 11th of last month, Huang Taiji changed his name to Chongde, changed his country name "Dajin" to "Daqing", changed his family name to "Manchu", and officially proclaimed himself emperor in Shenyang!
When the news reached the Beijing Division, the government and the opposition were shaken!
The officials wrote one after another, wept bitterly, and unanimously suggested that Wang Li be appointed as the "Governor of the Broken Captives" and rejuvenate the army to crusade against Huang Taiji!
Under the bewitchment, Zhu Youzhen can no longer be calm!
Naively thought that no matter what, as long as there is a king standing up, everything can be successful!
The thieves who have been rampant for more than ten years have not been quelled by Wang Li?
Moreover, it took less than a year!
If he comes out, he will be able to defeat Huang Taiji!
At the very least, we can solve the siege of the Daling River!
After receiving the edict, Wang Li was so angry that he scolded!
Those dog-day civil officials, do you really want to kill me?
With the current national strength of the Ming Dynasty, what will you do to crusade against Huang Taiji?
If you win by luck, you will continue to be officials and continue to be greedy for money!
If you lose, just get rid of Lao Tzu!
Win or lose, you don't lose!
A bunch of dogs! Wishful thinking, crackling!
I have long said that I will never go to the muddy water in Liaodong!
I also want to change history, and I also want to defeat Huang Taiji!
But, now, what a bad time!
This is not a question of ideals and expectations, but a question of national strength!
With the soldiers and horses of the Guanning army, if you rashly send troops to fight, you will definitely be defeated!
This simple truth, Zhu Youzhen and Baiguan will not understand!
Even if some people do, they pretend they don't understand!
was thinking hard about how to shirk it, but it was a coincidence that Gao Yingxiang's grandson actually led the thieves from all walks of life to kill them back!
Knowing this, Wang Li was relieved!
Yourself, no longer "blind"!
Gao Yingxiang dared to kill back, at least, he had an accurate direction of attack!
So, he hurriedly wrote to Zhu Youzhen to plead his feelings - exaggerating Gao Yingxiang's 20,000 soldiers and horses to 200,000!
Fortunately, I persuaded Zhu Youzhen again!
……
"Governor Wang, the number of thieves is not large, but they are scattered and hidden in the mountainous areas around Pingliang, Qingyang and Yan'an, and they are flexible and unpredictable;
Even if I have an army of 100,000 people, it will be difficult to completely wipe them out!
In my opinion, our army should still be stationed in Guanzhong, Xiaoguan and the Yellow River;
As long as these three directions are guarded, it will be difficult for the thieves to obtain food, it will be difficult to deceive the people everywhere, and they will not be able to further strengthen their strength!
With such a deployment, in two or three months at most, the thieves from all walks of life will inevitably collapse! ”
Thinking about it carefully, Chen Qiyu's coping method is a little passive, but it is the best way!
Because, the wheat in the northwestern provinces will ripen in another month!
If you rush into the mountains to clear it, it is easy for a small group of thieves to wander around, and you can get food and grass replenishment immediately!
Therefore, with heavy troops to control Xiaoguan, Guanzhong and the Yellow River crossing, the scope of the thieves' activities was limited to the mountainous areas of northern Shaanxi;
All they can get is grass roots and tree bark!
In less than two months, it will be completely wiped out!
……
The mobilization of soldiers and horses of the Ming army, Gao Yingxiang, who was hiding in the mountains, did not know!
But at this time, the leaders of the thieves breathed a sigh of relief!
Because, in the past half a year or so, in order to avoid Cao Wenzhao's pursuit, they went north to Mongolia for more than 1,000 miles and looted more than 100 tribes!
Although more than 200,000 soldiers and horses have been killed or wounded, more than 20,000 elite soldiers still survived!
It was their crazy looting that completely angered Huang Taiji!
The Eight Banners besieged the Daling River, and Huang Taiji still allocated 30,000 soldiers and horses, led by Azig, and rushed over with great momentum!
However, this battle-hardened bandit actually went out day and night on the grassland, and luckily escaped the pursuit of Azig and successfully escaped back to the south of the Great Wall!
Picking up a life, how can thieves from all walks of life not be excited!
They are still waiting for whether Azig will attack the Ming army in a fit of rage?
If that's the case, then God help me!
Perhaps, Heaven heard the prayer of the thief leader!
Only a dozen days later, Azig divided his troops into two routes, and invaded the border from Xifengkou and Dushikou!
Wang Zhao, the patrol of the imperial history, led the troops to resist and died heroically, and the remnants of the Ming army had to retreat to Changping!
The army is overwhelmed!
At this time, there were 10,000 loyal and brave battalions stationed in the Jingshi, but the people were still panicked!
The Xiao cavalry battalion is surrounded in the Daling River, and it is difficult to return to help!
In addition to being frightened, Zhu Youzhen thought of Wang Li for the first time!
After receiving the edict, Wang Li really wanted to cry without tears!
Look up to the sky and sigh!
This Da Ming, is it really exhausted?
At this critical juncture of clearing out the thieves, how can I easily return to Beijing?
However, knowing that the target of the Eight Banners was not the Beijing Division, he had to go back - even if he returned a little later, it would touch Zhu Youzhen's most fragile nerves!
I don't want to be the next Yuan Chonghuan!
Jingshi, you must get it back!
However, the soldiers and horses of the general army of all walks of life must not be easily mobilized!
Otherwise, the dying thieves from all walks of life are likely to survive!
After hurriedly arranging the various deployments for the suppression of thieves, Wang Li led more than 10,000 "ironclad brocade guards", and went straight to Juyong Pass under the starry night!
Cao Huachun has been waiting here for a long time!
When I saw Wang Li, I cried with joy and hurriedly sent the edict!
Depend on!
After reading the edict, Wang Li was so anxious that he stomped his feet!
Indignantly crumpled the edict into a ball and threw it far away!
This formation can scare Cao Huachun a lot!
"Princess, you are ......"
"That Wang Jiazhen, where did he come from? Why did he take over as the "Governor of the Five Provinces to Suppress Thieves"?
Also, before I left for Beijing, I repeatedly told Long Live Lord that the troops and horses of the northwestern provinces must not be mobilized!
Why didn't he listen? Why not? ”
Wang Li's dissatisfaction and accusations against Zhu Youzhen are undisguised!
Cao Huachun has known Wang Li for more than nine years, and he has never seen him so angry!
I have never seen him disrespect Zhu Youzhen at all!
Come to think of it, there must be some misunderstanding!
In addition to being frightened, Cao Huachun explained tremblingly: "Factory father, long live the master is afraid that you will be distracted!"
I'm afraid that you won't be able to fight the Eight Banners wholeheartedly, so Wang Jiazhen temporarily took over the position of "Governor of the Five Provinces to Suppress Thieves";
When the Eight Banners were repulsed, this position was still taken over by the factory officer!
This Wang Jiazhen is a Jinshi in the thirty-fifth year of Wanli (1607 AD), and has served as the head of the Criminal Department, Langzhong of the Household Department, the prefect of De'an, the deputy envoy of the Huguangbu Political Division, the Shaanxi Political Secretary to participate in politics, the imperial history of Zuo Baidu, and the governor of Gansu;
Wang Jiazhen temporarily acted as the "Governor of the Five Provinces", and the courtiers and Long Live Lord unanimously approved that this appointment was already very prudent!
Factory father, you also know that Long Live Lord's Xiao Cavalry Battalion is surrounded by the Daling River, and it is difficult to return to help for a while!
You also said in the recital that you only brought back 13,000 "Iron Armor Brocade Guards", and it is difficult to compete with the Eight Banners!
Long live the Lord was worried that your troops were insufficient, and after discussing with the courtiers, considering the overall defense of the Beijing Division, Lu Xiangsheng was transferred to the governor of Xuanda, and ordered him to lead his troops and horses back to Beijing for defense!
So ......"
"That's it! Since the Long Live Lord has already made arrangements, I will do what I am ordered to do, just do my best! ”
After that, he was too lazy to talk nonsense with Cao Huachun, and hurriedly went to Jingshi.
Cao Huachun will not understand that the "exhaustion" in Wang Li's mouth is actually extremely disappointed in Zhu Youzhen!
Before leaving for Beijing, in the flying pigeon biography sent to Zhu Youzhen, Wang Li repeatedly emphasized the situation of suppressing thieves in the northwest!
Thousands of instructions must not be mobilized all the way to the troops!
At the same time, it was also repeatedly stated in the letters that the fundamental purpose of the Azig soldiers to commit crimes against the Beijing division was only to plunder!
At that time, Zhu Youzhen agreed in one bite!
Unexpectedly, after only a few days, he changed his hexagram!
not only mobilized Lu Xiangsheng's soldiers and horses, but also reappointed a "Governor of the Five Provinces to Suppress Thieves"!
How tired is such a king, as his courtier!
If you're not careful, you'll be worried about your life!
Is such a king worthy of his life?
Is such a Ming worth saving yourself?
"Factory father, actually...... Long live Lord is also well-intentioned...... You threw away the edict in front of Cao Huachun, and you also made many accusations against Long Live Lord, which is indeed a bit inappropriate!
If Cao Huachun reported it truthfully...... Long live the character, you know......"
"What if he knows? The soldiers and horses near the Beijing Division, who can stop my "Iron Armor Brocade Guard"?
Besides, I'm just stationed outside the capital and don't go back to the palace, what can he do to me? ”
"You cow! Yours is the "Iron Armor Brocade Guard", not the border army!
Even if the garrison is outside the city, the ministers cannot be impeached! ”
Yuan Chonghuan, who was dressed in the uniform of a commanding envoy, gave Wang Li a thumbs up and continued: "I really fell out with the emperor, are you sure that all the soldiers and horses under your command are obeying your orders?" ”
"Damn! You also led soldiers, how could you ask such a low-level question? ”
Yuan Chonghuan's face was full of black lines, and he continued to persuade: "I just remind you that if you don't reach a critical moment, you should still be more forbearing!"
Brother Song is right, the emperor's original intention is good, he is just too anxious and bewitched by the ministers, so he messed up! ”
"Damn! Do your best to help outsiders talk!
When Ling Chi was in the first place, he shouldn't have risked his life to save you! ”
Hearing this, Yuan Chonghuan could only smile helplessly!
I still want to persuade again, Wang Li has already rushed to the front!
This time, Wang Li was really disappointed!
If, because of Zhu Youzhen's transfer of troops and horses, or Wang Jiazhen's change of strategy, the thieves escaped and ascended to heaven, Wang Li no longer wanted to go against the sky!
Yourself, have done their best!
I'm really tired!
It's better to resign and go back to Sichuan!
In order to suppress the thief, more than a year of precious time was wasted!
How much silver is missing?
The position of "Admiral of the West Factory" is no longer important to me!
Turn your face and turn your face!
With thirteen thousand ironclad cavalry in hand, you can walk sideways in Daming!
There is silver!
Cavalry and foot soldiers, you can raise as many as you want!
Build as many muskets and cannons as you want!
Who would dare to say half a "no" to me?
Who would dare?
"Report ...... Factory, it's not good......"
"Damn! Don't say that "no"! ”
"Uh...... Factory Gong: The Eight Banners have captured Changping, Liangxiang and Shunyi, and are burning and looting!
It has been reported that Shangguan Xun, the guerrilla general, and Su Shiyu, the commander of Shunyi County, were all martyred......"
"Humph! Did the Eight Banners attack the Beijing Division? ”
"I didn't ...... Not really!
When the subordinates came to report, the Eight Banners were looting in Baodi, Dingxing, Ansu and other places;
The other road looted in Dacheng, Xiongxian, and Anzhou Prefecture! ”
"I guessed correctly!" Wang Li smiled coldly and ordered: "Cao Wenzhao, Cao Wenyao, Cao Dingjiao, Cao Bianjiao, you and others will each lead 3,000 cavalry, and attack the Eight Banners from all walks of life!" ”
"Whoa!"
"Wait!
Remember, your purpose is to harass, not to fight against it!
Ten days later,
Cao Wenzhao, you lured the Eight Banners to Juyong Pass;
Cao Wenyao, you lured the Eight Banners to Bauhinia Pass;
Cao Dingjiao, Cao Bianjiao, the two of you will lure the Eight Banners to Zunhua! ”
"Whoa!"
Several people took the order and left, Wang Li smiled indifferently, and continued to order: "Liu Dong, I will give you 1,500 brocade guards and twenty mortars, be sure to defend Juyong Pass!" ”
"Whoa!"
"Li Gang, I'll give you 1,500 brocade guards and twenty mortars, be sure to defend Bauhinia Pass!"
"Whoa!"
"Song Yi, I'll give you 1,500 brocade guards, twenty mortars, rush to Zunhua City within seven days to set up defenses, if the Eight Banners come, be sure to defend them!"
"Whoa!"
"The rest of the generals, follow me to Xifengkou as soon as possible!
This time, there will be no return for that Azig!
He grabbed something, and he didn't want to take one with him! ”
