Mo Jiuniang's arrival finally gave Xiong Chu a clear impression of what happened in Nanjing.

The Yangzhou tragedy is certainly painful and sad, but what makes Xiong Chu even more angry is that not only Qian Qianyi, the leader of the Donglin Party, surrendered, but also Xu Yunjue, the descendant of Xu Da and the Duke of Wei.

In the face of Duoduo's surrender to the Ming court, including heavyweights such as "two dukes, seven marquis and eight uncles":

Xu Yunjue, Duke of Wei, Zhang Guobi, Duke of Baoguo, Zhang Gongri, Marquis of Longping, Li Zushu, Marquis of Linhuai, Sun Weicheng, Marquis of Huaining, Tang Guozuo, Marquis of Lingbi, Marquis Liu Zuochang of Anyuan, Xu Hongjue, Marquis of Yongchang, Deng Wenyu, Marquis of Dingyuan, Chang Yingjun, Bo Chang Yingjun, Bo Daxing, Zou Cunyi, Liu Yunji, Bo Liu Yunji, Nanhe Bo Fang Yiyuan, Bo Jiao Mengxiong, Bo Dongning, Bo Ancheng, Zhang Guocai, Luo Zhongbo, Huang Jiuding, Cheng Anbo, Guo Zuoyong.

As for the literati and writers who defected to the enemy, there are countless of them.

This large-scale surrender incident has dealt a huge blow to Xiong Chu's psychology, so he once again emphasized the basic purpose of the Ming Kingdom to open a school in the future, and comprehensively curb the vain and impetuous style of study.

It's a pity that before Xiong Chu could explain some of the major policies in the future, Zhou Chang hurriedly came to Xiong Chu's room with a person.

This person came to deliver the letter, that is, to deliver an urgent letter from Miao Sanguan Pegasus, and the messenger was Fan Liancheng, the commander of the scout battalion of the Changsha battalion.

Fan Liancheng waited until the Xiong Chu read the urgent letter before he said: "Your Majesty, the main force of the Dashun army of more than 90,000 people and the 70,000 troops of the Manchu Tartars, not long ago there was a big battle in Yingshan County, Lishan County, and the whole battle lasted for thirty-nine days. ”

The final outcome was that Li Zicheng, Niu Jinxing and others disappeared, and 19 generals including Liu Zongmin, the chief general of the Chinese army, and Song Xiance, the military division, were captured, and the main force of the Chinese army of the Dashun Army was completely dispersed. The military advisor asked the last general to come over and ask for instructions on the handling principles. ”

"How did you find out that Li Zicheng was missing?" said Xiong Chu, shaking the letter, his face full of questions.

Fan Liancheng clenched his fists and bowed: "Your Majesty, the last general was ordered to set up the liaison headquarters of the scout battalion in Chu Wangcheng to assist the protector general Shen Xiyue and the flying dragon general Chige to grasp the various dynamics in Jiangbei, and paid special attention to the retreat of the Dashun army to the south in three ways. ”

"The Manchu Tartars ordered the British prince Azig and the Yu prince Duoduo to cross the Yellow River south in two ways, first attacking Tongguan on two roads and breaking through Chang'an City. Li Zicheng's Dashun army suffered heavy losses and could only be forced to lead the main force south with Liu Zongmin, Liu Fangliang and others. As a result, he was defeated in eight battles in Henan and was defeated. ”

During this period, Shi Kefa, the Jiangbei general town in Nanjing, was blind and ignored Duoduo's army, but ordered Gao Jie, one of the four towns in Jiangbei, to go north, in a vain attempt to attack Li Zicheng's Eastern Route Army through Duoduo's defense area. ”

Li Zicheng's Dashun army was originally pursued by Geng Zhongming's army sent by Azig, but now he learned that Shi Kefa in the east was going to be unfavorable to him, so his troops marched into the Huoying Mountains in three ways, preparing to go south to seize the land of Huguang. ”

"Li Guo, Gao Yigong, Li Laiheng, and Bai Minghe withdrew to Dangyang and Yiling, with more than 90,000 soldiers and horses; Hao Shaoqi, Dang Shousu, Liu Tichun, Wang Jincai, and Lan Yingcheng withdrew to Tianmen and Jingzhou Jiangling, with more than 70,000 soldiers and horses. ”

"At the time of abandoning Chang'an, the armies of Li Guo and Gao Yigong were still in northern Shaanxi. Gao Yigong and others retreated from Yulin one day later than Li Zicheng abandoned Chang'an, and the southward passage was cut off by the Duoduo Division, which occupied Chang'an, and the Qing army of the Azig Division, which was moving south from Yan'an to Chang'an. ”

It was no longer possible for them to retreat south along the main line of Commander Li Zicheng, so they had to join the garrison armies of Gansu, Ningxia, and Qinghai to make a detour south to Sichuan, and enter Hubei along the river through Kuizhou and Wushan. ”

Li Zicheng and Mrs. Gao personally commanded the main force of the Chinese army, Liu Zongmin was the former army commander, Yuan Zongdi was the rear army commander, Liu Fangliang and Tian Jianxiu, Wu Ruyi led the left army, Ma Jinzhong and Niu Youyong were the vanguard, commanding an army of 170,000 and advancing to the front line of Lishan and Yingshan through Xinyang. ”

Mo Jiuniang waved her hand and said, "Stop! Fan Liancheng, where did this detailed information come from, and why didn't you report it to me in time?"

"Eldest princess Rongyu!" The face of the boss was not a good phenomenon, Fan Liancheng hurriedly bowed: "Because the incident happened suddenly, the last general can only report to the Changsha camp nearby." ”

Mo Jiuniang was still angry: "What happened so suddenly that you didn't have time to report it to me?"

"That's right. Seeing Xiong Chu smiling silently on the side, Fan Liancheng also became unhurried: "Li Zicheng's main force of the Chinese army crossed Xinyang Prefecture, and the main force of the Han army under Geng Zhongming's Zhenghuang Banner under Azig was half a step late and did not catch up. ”

Although Li Zicheng escaped a catastrophe, Geng Zhongming's son Geng Jimao led 3,000 cavalry as the vanguard, and quietly evaded Li Zicheng's probe horse, and caught up with Liu Zongmin's former army camp first. ”

At this time, Ma Jinzhong and Niu Youyong led the leading troops of 12,000 people, and had already crossed Jigong Mountain to seize Wusheng Pass, and then began to reconnoiter Lishan and Yingshan. By the time they found out that the main force behind them had not come up, seven days had passed. ”

It was precisely because Geng Jimao's vanguard of 3,000 cavalry harassed all the way that Liu Zongmin's front army camp was delayed for seven days, and Geng Zhongming's main force was bought time, and Li Zicheng's large army was surrounded on three sides. ”

Geng Zhongming led 9,000 horse infantry troops as the middle road, Geng Zhongming's left wing was Xu Degong, with 5,000 bird guns, and the right wing was Lian Chengcheng and 5,000 cavalry artillery. The three-way army came over, dividing Li Zicheng's army into three sections. ”

Ma Jinzhong and Niu Youyong sensed that the situation was wrong, so they led the team back to respond, just in time for Liu Zongmin's front army to collapse. After a chaotic battle, Ma Jinzhong and Niu Youyong learned that Liu Zongmin and Song Xiance had been captured. ”

Ma Jinzhong and Niu Youyong finally gathered 20,000 stragglers and prepared to continue north to meet Li Zicheng's main force of the Chinese army, but Geng Zhongming's left and right flanks had already flanked them. ”

Because the Dashun army had no firearms, it was impossible to resist the spears and cavalry of Xu Degong and Lian Decheng, and as a result, Ma Jinzhong and Niu Youyong could only lead more than 30,000 people to fight and retreat to the south. ”

When the last general received the news from the spies, he hurriedly reported to Shen Xiyue, the general of the escort army. Shen Xiyue almost didn't hesitate at all, and ordered the Flying Dragon General Chige to lead the Shooting Battalion to immediately cross the river and go north. ”

Soon after Chige's shooting battalion crossed Xiaochang County, they saw the defeated soldiers of Ma Jinzhong and Niu Youyong. Fortunately, Chige reacted quickly, and immediately hid the troops and let Ma Jinzhong and Niu Youyong pass. ”

Because of his meritorious service, Geng Jimao led 3,000 cavalry in hot pursuit, but was ambushed by Chige's shooting battalion, and the whole army was annihilated under the attack from both sides. Geng Jimao was also shot through the throat by Chige and died on the spot. ”

Ma Jinzhong and Niu Youyong found themselves in a big battle behind them, and thought that Li Zicheng's Chinese army and Liu Fangliang's rear army had caught up, so they immediately led the army back to respond, just when Geng Zhongming's left and right flanks arrived, and an encounter began. ”

"Because of the strong flank strike force of the Chige Shooting Battalion, coupled with the fact that Xu Degong and Lian Decheng were already sleepy and lacking horses, the rate of fire of firearms was too slow, and Chige was killed by one and came out of the formation, completely defeating the enemy, and capturing countless instruments and horses. ”

After discussion, Ma Jinzhong and Niu Youyong surrendered directly to Chige. Now, Shen Xiyue ordered Chige to be the main general, Ma Jinzhong and Niu Youyong to be the deputy generals, stationed in Xiaochang County to block Geng Zhongming's southward passage, and now a stalemate is formed. ”

"In the past two months, Chige and their troops have gathered more than 80,000 troops of the Great Shun Army, but they have never received news from Li Zicheng, Mrs. Gao, Liu Fangliang and others. ”

"What the last general knows is what Ma Jinzhong and Niu Youyong said. The military advisor Miao Sanguan believes that the war is about to break out, and how to deal with the relationship with the Dashun army needs to be decided by His Majesty. Because the incident happened suddenly, it was impossible to report it to the eldest princess in advance, and I asked for forgiveness. ”

"Forgive the sin, forgive the sin of a fart!" Mo Jiuniang scolded exaggeratedly: "Everyone is a brother who got out of Luoyang, do you still need to divide each other and talk about the level? You Fan Liancheng is also a general now, but I didn't expect to become a Rory's old lady." ”

Xiong Chu smiled and played a round game: "Okay, okay, sure enough, something big happened, and you need to take a response plan immediately." Lian Cheng, according to you, Chige's troops on the front line of Xiaochang County have exceeded 100,000 people?"

Fan Liancheng nodded: "The problem is here, and it is also the most anxious place for Miao Sanguan." Specifically, Chige's shooting battalion has 5,000 people, Wanying's female battalion has 5,000 people, Ma Jinzhong and Niu Youyong's troops have more than 30,000 people, plus more than 80,000 defeated soldiers, with a total strength of more than 143,000 people. ”

"Although the number of people has swelled rapidly, its combat effectiveness has not caught up with Chige's shooting battalion, and even Wanying's female battalion. In other words, the more than 120,000 people of the Dashun Army really want to fight, and they can't stop Wanying's 5,000 female soldiers. The key is that the weapons and discipline of the Dashun army are not good, and the will to fight is even worse. ”

"If according to the standards of our Xiong Family Army, those Dashun troops should re-enter the reserve army training. But they are not our own people, and they don't understand our purpose. How to reorganize, whether to equip according to our standards, all need to be edicted by His Majesty. ”

"I see. Xiong Chu nodded, and shook his head again: "The old master doesn't mean what you say, the most important thing is the other two Dashun Army." Li Zicheng is missing, and Liu Fangliang is gone, but there are still nearly 100,000 people in Li Guo and Hao Shaoqi, what is their situation?"

Fan Liancheng suddenly realized: "Your Majesty, the chasing soldiers behind Li Guo and Hao Shaoqi are the damned Kong Youde Han Army is the red flag." There are 70,000 people on this road, and they are all rebellious members of the imperial court like Geng Zhongming, and the Dashun army is about to collapse at the touch of a button, and now it has reached the front line of Dangyang, and Li Guo and Hao Shaoqi are also in danger. ”

Xiong Chu was a little surprised: "Helian Gen led Chang Delin and Guan Datou led Tang Da, weren't they on the south bank of the Great River? Did they cross the river?"

"I haven't crossed the river yet. Fan Liancheng shook his head: "How should the troops be deployed, Miao Sanguan is still hesitating. ”

"What are you hesitating about?" said Xiong Chu.

Fan Liancheng said with a smile: "Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and others are all rebellious people who are registered in the text. According to the general's speculation about the meaning of Miao Sanguan, it is likely that he is planning how to annihilate them in one battle. But this involves the problem of the Dashun Army, which is only possible to clash with Zhang Xianzhong in Sichuan, so he hesitated. ”

"I see!" Xiong Chu nodded: "Dai Li sent an order, let us confuse the enemy's army to go north urgently, Fan Tao immediately rushed to Liuzhou, took Chen Bangchuan, and then continued to assemble at the mouth of the Sanjiang River in the north, preparing to reinforce Helengen." In addition, Wuzhou is here to end in a hurry, and we must rush to Guilin immediately to prepare for a frontal war with the Manchu Tartars. ”
