Chapter 667: Situation

The gold, silver, jewelry, antique furniture, and rare books, books, calligraphy and paintings that could only be used to light a fire for heating in the eyes of the peasant army and soldiers were seized from a city, and they were not cleaned when they went to the toilet, and they traded them with the merchants controlled by the Nanyue Army in exchange for the food, oil, salt, medicine, cloth, knives, guns, equipment, armor, gunpowder and other things that were urgently needed in their own army.

Then use these weapons and equipment to arm the old battalion, horsemen, and infantry to capture the next city. Cycle after cycle, a virtuous circle, Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai were like this at the beginning, and quickly gained a firm foothold in Henan. successively won Luoyang, Kaifeng and other large cities, and became a force that could compete with the Ming army and the Qing army. In Duoduo's view, Li Zicheng, like his second brother Dorgon, is a man of great talent! Originally! In troubled times, gold and silver are worthless, and only the food army is the most important! With an army with good food and sharp equipment in hand, how many wealth, gold, and silver children can't get it?

(Speaking of which, the unkind author thinks of something more.)

How did those Tubalu, known as millet plus rifles, become an army with powerful firepower and artillery overnight? At this point, the experts on the Internet have long pointed out the reason: "The devil Kwantung Army surrendered, and Maozi gave all the captured weapons of the Kwantung Army to Tubalu." That's why the dirt road is not dirty. There is also a saying, "The cannons of the Eighth Road are all exchanged for the big girl and Lao Maozi!" "The first statement seems quite reasonable on the surface, originally! They are all under the banner of sickles and axes, and of course their own brothers have to look at each other differently. However, on the one hand, high-ranking people on the Internet said that the elite of the Kwantung Army were all transferred to the Pacific Theater and were killed by the US military, and the Kwantung Army fought by the Soviet Red Army was just an empty shell with a false appearance. On the other hand, he said that there were hundreds of thousands of guns, thousands of artillery armored vehicles and tanks, all of which were handed over to Tubalu. Even if these are true, then the total number of Japanese troops inside the pass is much larger than the Kwantung Army outside the pass. They were not transferred to the Pacific theater and were consumed by the US military's aircraft and artillery, but the weapons and equipment of these troops were all received by the national army. Why is the national army still being abused by Tubalu?

The so-called taking the big girl to find Lao Maozi for a cannon is even more nonsense. After the brutal war attrition in the Soviet Union, there are already many boys and girls in your country, and the gender deviation is very large, what else do you want the school-age women in your family to do?

As for how the earth has strong firepower, it's not worth a penny to say it. In addition to Kaishen Logistics' express delivery, it is the fulfillment of the sentence, "Do it yourself, have enough food and clothing." "From the base towns and towns with hand grenade shells cast by tinkerers, grenades filled with black powder, with a donkey can carry away two baskets of mortar shells not much larger than grenades, with such firepower to take the county seat. The machinery and equipment and electricity that can be mobilized in the county town will be quickly added to the military industrial system, and then these equipment will be used to make weapons and ammunition. Soon, county towns were taken one after another, and the mortar shells that could be carried by a donkey in two baskets became a heavy artillery shell that could be carried by a large mule at most. He was pushed to the front line by the former migrant workers in a trolley and sent to the artillery position.

As for the national army! Shenyang's military enterprises, after the withdrawal of the Soviet army, when the national army received, there were 10,000 sets of machine tools and equipment in good condition, after several years of unremitting efforts of the national army, when Shenyang was received by Tubalu, the number of intact machine tools reached as many as 3,000 units! Another 2,000 can be repaired, and less than half of them can't be repaired! And at that time, how much machine tools and equipment did the military industrial system of the entire Northeast of Tuba Road have? It is far more than 2,000 units of the national army! That is, relying on these two thousand machine tools and equipment, we have the ability to support thousands of artillery and ammunition when attacking Jinzhou! It is even more able to follow in the footsteps of the deputy commander-in-chief and bomb indiscriminately! )

"This king has long understood that the equipment, armor, artillery firearms and other guns and gunpowder of the battalion equipped by the elite soldiers and good generals in Li Chuang's army all come from the supply of merchants in Nanzhong. There are two routes, north and south. In the north, it is disembarked from the coastal port of Denglai, transferred to Kaifeng through the Yellow River, Jiaolai River, Qinghe River, Canal and other rivers, and then all the way to the west, either directly to Luoyang Province, or turned south. The southern route is from Shanghai County, Songjiang Prefecture into the Yangtze River through the Huangpu River, and goes straight to Jingzhou, Hanyang, Chengtian and other places to supply the thieves and horses there. ”

Duoduo proudly grabbed the two pieces of steaming white meat on the red felt in his hand, "Kaifeng and Luoyang, the two key points in Henan have been owned by my Qing soldiers and horses, and this Yellow River has also become the inland river of my Qing Dynasty, and it is quite convenient for soldiers and horses to travel between grain and grass and baggage." Do the generals think that Li Chuang's life will be better? ”

With the ups and downs of the two pieces of white flesh dripping with grease and soup on the red felt pad in Duoduo's hand, everyone sketched in their minds a current situation map of the four armies of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Although the soldiers and horses of the Nanyue Army in Shandong are still waving the banner of the Ming Dynasty and serving Hongguang Tianzi as Zhengshuo, in the minds of these generals and the Qing army, the Nanyue Army and the Ming Army in the strict sense are two distinct armies. Therefore, in their minds, they classified the Nanyue Army in the direction of Shandong at this time as another force.

Henan, known as the land of four wars in the world. Now, the two important towns of Kaifeng and Luoyang have fallen into the hands of the Qing army, and most of Henan has been controlled by the Qing army. Then, at this time, the main forces of Duoduo and Azig, to the west, can reinforce Cao Zhenyan's western route soldiers and horses, go straight to Tongguan, take Li Zicheng's fundamental place Shaanxi, and make him a thief again. Having lost their base areas, lost their food, grass and soldiers, even if Li Zicheng and his subordinates were able to fight and run, they would only be suffering from physical problems. It can't compete for the world side by side with the Qing Dynasty.

In order to achieve this goal, Dolgon, who was far away in Beijing, had already ordered several Mongol princes near Ordos to lead their Mongol cavalry across the Great Wall and lead their troops to besiege Yulin, an important town in northern Shaanxi, together with several former Ming generals who had just surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

Yulin was one of the important towns in the north of the Ming Dynasty, and most of the residents were affiliated with the military and took serving as a soldier as a profession; There are also a lot of children who were born in generals. Among the Ming army in Shaanxi, there are many generals who can fight, and their troops are from Yulin Mansion. Because they had been in the ranks for a long time, and their hands were stained with blood during the suppression of the peasant uprising, it was difficult for them to change their reactionary political stance. In order to solve the Yulin problem, Li Zicheng adopted the method of saluting first and then soldiering. He sent the debater Shu Junrui to bring 50,000 taels of silver to the generals of Yulin, and at the same time ordered Li Guo and Liu Fangliang to lead an army of 70,000 to march later, so that if the persuasion of surrender failed, they would be attacked by force. After making these arrangements, Li Zicheng returned to Xi'an. Seeing that the general situation was gone, Wang Ding, the chief soldier of Yulin, used the excuse of transferring troops to the Mongolian tribe and fled with dozens of cronies. Yulin Daodu Ren and the outgoing commander-in-chief Wang Shiqin, Hou Shilu, Hou Gongji, You Shiwei and others discussed countermeasures in an attempt to resist the city. The messengers of the rebels were in the city from the twelfth to the fourteenth to no avail, and on the fifteenth they began to besiege the city. The battle between the two sides was extremely fierce, and on the 27th, Fang was captured, and You Shiwei and others were executed. As for saying that the boasted battle of Ningwu is rare in the sky and difficult to find on the ground, compared with the battle of Yulin, it is not bullshit.

Now besieging this Yulin Mansion, it is the first to change the banner of Dashun, and then change the banner of the Ming Dynasty before the general Jiang Jiu, the general of Yulin Wang Daye, the general of Ningwu Gao Xun, the deputy general of Xuanhua Kang Zhenbang, and the former Ming army Xi'an guard, in the process of Li Zicheng's Dashun army attacking Shaanxi, opened the gate of Xi'an Mansion and surrendered, and later Li Zicheng was named an earl Wang Liangzhi and other generals will besiege Yulin together with tens of thousands of Mongolian soldiers and horses, forcing Li Zicheng's troops to be unable to gain a foothold in northern Shaanxi, and had to go south to Guanzhong and Hanzhong, is even planning to move out of Shaanxi to Huguang. In the process of besieging Yulin, in order to show their loyalty to the new master, this group of generals did not hesitate to wave their butcher knives and cut off the heads of the people of Mizhi County, who were known as the land of Longxing and the birthplace in their mouths not long ago. The inhabitants of Li Zicheng's hometown and Li Jiqian's village were slaughtered inhumanely, regardless of age or age.

In the 32nd year of the Republic of China, "Mizhi County Chronicles" volume 10, "Anecdotal Chronicles" with "Gleanings", "Li Zicheng Ethnic Examination". According to this article, when the Qing soldiers surrounded and suppressed, a woman with her young son returned to Ye Jiaqi, to which Yulin belonged, and survived. This son then assumed the surname Ye and became a naturalized Yulin. There was also Li who jumped off the hanging rock and got rid of it, and his body was covered with bruises, and people called him Li without skin. In addition, all of them were killed by the Qing army. Volume 8 of the "Records of the Ancestors of the Qing Dynasty", it is recorded that on September 20 of the first year of Shunzhi, Zhenye Chen, Gushan, Shanxi Province, Pingding, reported from the army: "After the defeat of the puppet Xihou Tangtong, our army re-attacked Mizhi County, the original hometown of the thief, annihilated his relatives, dug his grave, and abandoned his bones. It was detected that the rogue henchmen were scattered through the stars to hear. ”

With the invasion of the Qing army into Shaanxi, the Ming Dynasty in the northwest region also revealed their original form, once again showing the chameleon skills, taking advantage of the provocation and surrendering to the Qing court. Dong Xueli, who had previously served as the deputy general of Huamachi in Ningxia of the Ming Dynasty, was ordered to go south along the canal after returning to the Dashun regime, and later withdrew to the Huaiqing area of Henan Province and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. After he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he was anxious to "make meritorious contributions", and sent people to bring letters to the Ningxia Jiedu of the Dashun regime to make Chen Zhilong raise troops to act as an internal response. Chen Zhilong used to be the military supervisor of the Ming Dynasty, and his surrender to the Dashun regime was originally suspicious, in his own words, "borrowing his military power to wait for the time". Dong Xueli's secret letter was intercepted by Niu Chenghu (who was the chief soldier of the Ming Dynasty and was ordered by the Dashun regime to guard Ningxia at this time). Niu Chenghu did not approve of betraying the Dashun regime and beheaded all Dong Xueli's families. After the Qing army entered Shaanxi, he used his power to win over a part of the army, "advocating the leadership of the large and small civilian, military and civilian, and looking at the wind to surrender to the Qing Dynasty", forcing Niu Chenghu to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. Bai Guangen was named Taoyuan Bo after returning to Li Zicheng, and with the reversal of the situation, he was also ready to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, but because the Dashun army was strictly guarded, it was difficult to succeed for a while. When Li Zicheng withdrew from Xi'an, he pulled out a team at Lantiankou and defected to the Qing Dynasty. Zheng Jiadong, the general soldier of Lanzhou, Zuo Xian, the general soldier of Ganzhou, and Xie Zhenrong, the deputy general soldier, all defected to the Qing Dynasty in the first month of 1645. Li Yutian (formerly the governor of Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty), Ma De, Gao Ruli, and Shi Guoxi, the deputy commanders-in-chief, who led the army into Sichuan on the order of Li Zicheng, also led more than 10,000 soldiers to defect to the Qing Dynasty under the Qing court. In addition, there were more than 10,000 soldiers from the subordinate of Hu Xianghua, the deputy general of Hannan, Gao Luan, the guard general of the Huangfu battalion, and the border army of Shiyingbao from Xiangshui to Ningsai in northern Shaanxi.

These people have all changed, shaved their hair, and changed from loyal and brave soldiers of the Dashun Army to righteous teachers who avenged the father of the Ming Dynasty.

This was true of Shaanxi on the western front, and to the east of Duoduo, and also of Shandong. With the help of the troops of Wu Fengxian, Zhang Linghu and other generals, and relying on the influence of Confucius and Mencius and other families, Abatai, with the assistance of Wang Ke, has swept through most of Shandong, compressing the soldiers and horses of the Nanyue army to the mountainous area of Lunan and the land of Denglaiqing in Jiaodong. At present, they are desperately trying to cut off the connection between the Lunan Mountains and the Denglai area, once the connection between the two places is cut off by the Qing army, then the barren Lunan Mountains will not be able to supply the tens of thousands of troops of Lu Mahong, Liao Dongzhi and Wu Xing. They either fought desperately to fight for this life-and-death line of communication to ensure the supply of food and ordnance for their army, or they could only endure the pain and go south to Xuzhou to join the troops and horses of the Nanyue army there. However, once it went south, then Shandong would never have a chance with the Nanyue Army.

At this time, if Abatai is ready to cut off the connection between Lunan and the Denglai area, then Duoduo in the eastern Henan region can dispatch men and horses at any time to attack the soldiers and horses of the Nanyue army guarding the Lunan region from the flank, so that they cannot invest a large number of troops to rescue. If the time permits, Duoduo will not mind going to Yanzhou City to live for a few days. If Lu Ma Hong Liao Dongzhi did not dare to save the Denglai area, but the army went south to Xuzhou, then it would be in the hands of Duoduo, and he would be happy to have a hunt with Liao Dongzhi in the wild plains. Let's see what is still the gap between the tactics of the firearms, artillery, and firearms units of the two families.

He even planned to personally lead thousands of elite cavalry to drill into the gap between Henan and Nanzhili, abandon Xuzhou, and go straight to Bozhou, Mengcheng, from Xuchang and Changge, and then take Bengbu, Suzhou and other cities. Such a situation is the reappearance of the situation of the Ming army in Jinzhou and Quang Ninh in those years. Even compared to the situation back then, it was more favorable to the Qing army. Don't dare to say anything else, Duoduo dared to guarantee that as long as his banner marched south, his soldiers and horses would only fight more and more, and he would not have to worry about running out of troops. All kinds of regimental exercises and poles along the way, and all departments of the Ming army would pay him money and surrender to him to serve as the vanguard of dealing with the Nanyue army. Even the four towns in the north of the Yangtze River, which were given knighthoods, the main force of the Ming army, would defect.

"As for the front of this king, hehe! You all know it well! From Kaifeng Mansion to the south, what Zhoukou, Guangshan, Gushi, Luohe, Xincai, Xinyang, Fuyang, which is not a place that can be determined? Whether it is the soldiers or officials there, how many of them dare to fight against my Qing soldiers and horses? In the words of Mr. Reading, it is called a mantis arm as a car! Duoduo was a little drunk, and his speech was a little incoherent, but the arrogance in his words was very abundant.

However, he was not talking drunken nonsense. The above-mentioned areas are the blank places of the three families of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and it is really possible to give an order, and a few heralds can pacify the cities.

"These places are too poor, boring, and have no oil or water, right?" Duoduo blinked his red eyes and joked rudely with the group of generals under him: "What do we mean by throwing our troops into these places?" ”

"That's right! Right, right! The prince is right! ”

"How many times has this area been robbed by Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai! The common people are so poor that they can't wear pants, our army passes through here, what does the prince take to reward the soldiers and boost morale? ! ”

"Poor mountains and bad waters, women are ugly. The prince is wise! ”

These prefectures, cities, and counties on the front cannot satisfy their desire to kill and plunder, and they have to invest troops to consume them. Therefore, everyone agreed with Dord's strategic arrangement, that is, to the east! Let's go to Yangzhou and go to the place that has always been known for its prosperity and magnificence! Laid down Yangzhou, opposite is Nanjing! Jiangnan is even richer! Thinking of the legendary Songjiang Prefecture business area piled up with countless gold, silver and satin, many people couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva with a grunt in their throats.

Thinking of everyone's good money after the prince's army marched eastward, the officers and generals present, regardless of the Eight Banners Manchuria, Eight Banners Mongolia, and Eight Banners Han Army, regardless of whether you are a Baoyi identity or a newly surrendered general, knelt down in front of Duoduo, "I am willing to be the general's forward!" Break through the city of Nanjing and capture Zhu Yousong alive! ”

The task of the striker is naturally to find a way to grab it, whether he can grab it or not, he must first make a statement, and fortunately have a good impression in front of the new master. If you can get your hands on it, it's great. The children's jade silk obtained from the breakthrough of the city, it is natural that it will be passed through by us first. The water is wet over the ground, although it can't be as ruthless as it floated in the Ming Dynasty, but at least thirty percent of it is still there! (This can refer to the origin of Lord Wei's first pot of gold.) )

Looking at the generals who were on their knees under the black pressure in front of them, the two brothers Duoduo and Azig couldn't help but crack their mouths, but it was a pity that these two brothers were people who didn't know Chinese characters and didn't read much. On weekdays, I have only heard the pen post style and read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and Cao Cao's words when he feasted on the Yangtze River were too awkward to remember, otherwise, Duoduo only felt that he was the prime minister of Cao Cheng who led millions of heroes to the south of the Yangtze River.

However, he probably forgot the plot development behind the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and after the poem was written, it was the burning of the Chibi warship.
