Chapter 525. The final chapter

"Pass the order, don't put the grain into the warehouse, and all the food will be transported to Tongguan! In addition, it is ordered that the towns of Yulin, Huamachi, Yan'an, and Yansui will assemble at Tongguan, and the governor will see the army before the eleventh of August!"

"Supervisor !!"

He was still immersed in joy just now, but these words immediately made the young officer startled and raised his head in disbelief.

"What do you want?"

"Your Majesty's holy decree, the Shaanxi army will be leveled by thieves at sunrise, and there shall be no delay!"

Dongjiang has been staying for a long time, and it seems that he can be infected with such a contemptuous problem, and the minister's yellow table paper offered a respectful holy decree, and Yuan Chonghuan casually stretched out his hand and threw it to the young officer. He also took it with a big grin, and glanced twice with his eyes hurriedly, the talent that can be favored by Yuan Chonghuan is naturally not an ordinary thing, and in just a moment, he has already seen the problem.

There were also a lot of holy decrees from Chongzhen urging Yuan Chonghuan to send troops before, but in his tone, he also sent troops as soon as possible, and I gave him great hope, but this time it was a direct threat, which was already an ultimatum.

If it is delayed any longer, I am afraid that these threats will become a reality, and Yuan Chonghuan, who has been the governor of the three sides for two years, may have to go back to Liaodong and then plant sweet potatoes.

However, personal honor and disgrace are still the lightest for Yuan Chonghuan, if he cared about all this, he would have been the emperor in the Wa Kingdom to marry Chiyoji. What he can't stand the most is that his hard work has finally been in vain.

However, there are contradictions in things, and it is really not a good strategy to send troops at present! As far as the situation is concerned, at this time, Li Zicheng's power has reached its peak, in the name of the king of Chuang coming and not paying food, he absorbed tens of millions of victims, millions of troops, occupied a large area of territory from Henan to the north of Huguang, and the people who had just joined the army won a series of victories such as the Battle of Kaifeng, the Battle of Baoding, and the Battle of Zhuxian Town, and their morale was the most fanatical.

Fighting is not like a game where two teams of people rush each other, make a noise, and the defeated side will be killed all over the field, quantity, equipment, morale, terrain, logistics, each of them all affects the trend of the war, even if Dongjiang Mao Jue, and the army have to be weighed, not to mention the Qin army, which is just starting now.

The best strategy is to hold on to Tongguan, which is also the best result of several meetings of the officers.

After all, fanaticism can't be eaten, and the natural disasters in the Central Plains are not fake, and now that the local order has been completely destroyed by the breaking army, Li Zicheng is not like Zhu Yuanzhang who has a long-term plan, and people who can pile up the foundation of the dynasty will only have to wait for two or three years to run out of materials in Henan, and Li Zicheng's regime, which has no food to eat, will either collapse or have to run away.

When the time comes, Shaanxi gradually recovers, Li Zicheng's hometown, will definitely become his coveted target, Yuan Chonghuan and Sun Chuanting are still different, he is good at development in his history, killing Mao Wenlong is also coveting the trade between the Dongjiang River and Li North Korea, three years later, the three sides of Shaanxi will at least have a big change, raising 200,000 troops is not a problem, unlike now, only a little more than 80,000.

And what Yuan Chonghuan is best at is fighting with the city, relying on the mountains and rivers in Tongguan to snipe and break into the army, it is not possible to turn the battle situation into the next Ningjin victory, as long as Li Zicheng is defeated once, it is not impossible to beat him to the street rats across the country again, and the odds of victory are at least seventy-three.

But now with 80,000 troops, thousands of miles deep into the land of Zhongzhou, Henan, and a decisive battle with Li Zicheng in the heart of the army, it is tantamount to a goat breaking into a forest full of hungry wolves to duel with the head wolf, and it is so difficult to penetrate its belly. The odds are only twenty-eight.

It's just that even so, Yuan Chonghuan had to make this decision. For him, there is still a glimmer of life in a gamble, and if he doesn't gamble, he will definitely die! The ministers of the court, I am afraid that no one has the courage of him, cut the knife on the Qin king and a series of core local scholars to evenly distribute social materials, Shaanxi will eventually go back to the old way, the Qin clan and the local wealthy families once again embezzled the tuntian he cultivated, the Huamachi salt field he operated, and the trade routes were also occupied by a few people, and most people had to struggle for survival, which became the fuse for the collapse of the empire.

Rather than this, it is better to press the treasure on yourself. In just a few tens of seconds, Yuan Chonghuan made up his mind!

Silently handed the holy decree back to Yuan Chonghuan's table, and bowed heavily, the young officer was anxious, and immediately retreated.

…………

After all, it was in the Dongjiang River "research", more than a year, Yuan Chonghuan still tossed out a lot of decent things in Shaanxi, at least compared with more than a year ago, the sandy northern Shaanxi, relying on the river near the reclamation area once again to restore the livelihood, a new village embedded in these square-like farmland, and then, a cart of grain from the Tunzhuang was pushed by the farmers with a wheelbarrow, joy and reluctance were revealed on the face, and pushed to Tongguan.

The military ration warehouse, which had been starving to death of rats, was once again full of warehouses.

As for the defeated soldiers of the border army with low morale and low combat effectiveness, they were also reintegrated, the old, weak, sick and disabled were eliminated, and the worn-out weapons and equipment were replaced.

According to Yuan Chonghuan's military order, on the tenth day of the eighth month, the last pair of belongings of the Ming Dynasty gathered in the west of Tongguan, with Gao Jie, the general soldier of Shaanxi, Bai Guangen, the general soldier of Yulin, Niu Chenghu, the general soldier of Yansui, Zuo Guangdou, the general soldier of Yan'an, and a total of 21 generals such as Liu Jieai, the deputy general of Huamachi, a total of 80,000 Qin troops.

Among them, Yuan Chonghuan personally led the Tongguan army of 30,000, a large part of which was captured under the command of the former Shaanxi general soldier He Renlong.

Many people think that killing He Renlong in history is a common failure of Chongzhen and Sun Chuanting, but in fact, it is the only way for him to lose his head, even if Yuan Chonghuan came to power, he did not let him go, He Renlong is fierce and good at fighting, although he is fierce and good at fighting, but a general broke and fled on the battlefield twice, and abandoned the commanders of two armies successively, resulting in his death, and he was unruly and did not obey orders, such a person is simply a time bomb! I can't trust him on the battlefield, and it's still a hidden danger behind him, and Ci is not in charge of the army! It's better to kill him, so that he can use his power to deter others.

At least under Yuan Chonghuan's order, no military general in Shaanxi dared to disobey his order to delay.

In terms of equipment, Yuan Chonghuan also followed Mao Jue's example and attached importance to firearms, although the caliber was obviously much smaller than the Dongjiang Hongyi cannon, but more than 500 large and small artillery guns mounted on wheelbarrows were also murderous, and such a copycat Dongjiang army became Yuan Chonghuan's bet and hope.

Standing on the west gate of Tongguan, looking at such a large army of lineup, Yuan Chonghuan felt a little more confident in his heart.

Wearing a batch of triple armor, he also wore a mighty phoenix-winged helmet on his head, and suddenly pulled out the Shang Fang sword he was carrying at his waist, and faced the eyes of tens of thousands of troops, Yuan Chonghuan roared loudly.

"Brothers Qin Jun, this governor is Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of the three sides!"

Military discipline is not as serious as Dongjiang to the point of perversion, so many troops maintain a formation, there were still some whispers, however, when Yuan Chonghuan roared, the entire playground became silent in an instant, Yuan Chonghuan has a personality charm that even Mao Jue admires, just like Zhao Shujiao back then, even the Qin army at this time was willing to serve him and shed blood and sacrifice for him.

In a pair of eyes, Yuan Chonghuan's voice became louder and more tragic, and the hoarseness echoed in the sky above the eternal Tongguan like the long cry of an eagle.

"Today, the governor will not talk to you about the righteousness of the court, only about the present! Shaanxi has been a thief for many years! Where the rogue passed, the villages were ruined, the cities were in ashes, and thousands of families were either turned into corpses or looted, and they had to embark on the days of fleeing! I don't need to say much about this, I believe that everyone is also in the purpose!"

"And at this time in the Central Plains, the thief leader Li Zicheng among the thieves has suddenly risen to the top, and he will not hide it from you, there are millions of thieves, it is terrible! Even Bendok is afraid of them!"

Speaking of this, Yuan Chonghuan's voice was once again a little higher, and with incomparable anger, he roared out.

"But finally, the three sides have recovered some vitality in the hands of the governor and everyone, the abandoned land has been re-cultivated, the landlord's family can rest in peace, and the small people can also recuperate. Ben Du Jue does not allow anyone to destroy! Ben Du would rather die than let these thieves survive the Tong Pass! Come and ravage the pearl of the Governor!!"

"Get out of the customs and fight!"

A typical Mao Jue-style speech, but the effect achieved was extraordinary, coupled with Yuan Chonghuan's unique personality charm, in an instant, it ignited the ignition of all Qin Zhen soldiers, and in an instant, tens of thousands of Qin troops boiled.

In particular, Liu Jieai, a coolie-born Huamachi counselor, is simply a madman who wields a big knife desperately.

"Brethren, how did the Overseer treat us? The overseer does not hesitate to die in battle, and Lao Tzu will never let the superintendent die in front of Lao Tzu!"

"Follow the Inspector, get out of the customs, and face the battle!"

In the boiling shout, on the ancient city wall of the vicissitudes of the city, a full sixteen bronze trombones sounded the roaring sound of war, and under the thunderous drums of dozens of war drums, the Tongguan gate full of traces of war burst open, and then, the slender banner was the first to rush out of the gate.

The right squire of the military department, the governor of Shaanxi on three sides, and the superintendent Yuan!

The vigorous action of the cavalry was on both sides, and the sergeant pushing the wheelbarrow in the middle was also gritting his teeth hard, rolling forward, and the last climactic movement of the Ming Empire also ushered in his beginning.

…………

Just when the battle horn of Shaanxi roared, on the more ancient and barbaric land of Liaodong, iron hooves were also violently beating the earth, and here, the last chapter of the Qing Kingdom was also quietly opened.

The days have just begun to fall, the bloodsucking worms carrying the deadly virus, the rats have not disappeared, and in the barren rice fields, you can occasionally see a fat mouse covered with poisonous sores, crawling out of the skull hideously, but then it was intimidated by the hurried cavalry, and hurriedly drilled back.

More than a dozen fierce horses galloped like flying, several layers of heavy cowhide stillborn carrying a two-ton Dongjiang Hongyi cannon, in the disrepair of the Liaodong official road crushed out a deep rut print, on both sides, carrying infantry horse pistols Dongjiang riders are also hurriedly kicking the horse's buttocks, but also fortunately robbed a Mongolian coalition army, or for a while, Mao Jue could not pay so many war horses, now it is 30,000 people driving more than 60,000 war horses, pulling more than 50 cannons, hurriedly marching south.

If this battle is fought after the snow falls in winter, the threat of the Black Death will be eliminated to a minimum, but Mao Jue seems to be as urgent as Emperor Chongzhen, personally supervising Shen Rongjun, he is also on the front line, his feet are constantly kicking the belly of the war horse, and he is also anxious to rush forward.

Starting from Tieling, a full day and a night of running, the former Shenyang City, now the Qing capital Shengjing suddenly appeared in front of you.

It's just that compared with his former glory, Shengjing at this time looks extremely dilapidated, the Manchurian aristocratic grange attached to the city is empty, the gate is open, and the shadow of the cannon can be faintly seen on the city wall, but the Eight Banners guarding the city are not visible, looking inward along the street, the wide street is also empty, very lonely.

Indeed, Emperor Chongzhen used the strategy of driving wolves and chasing tigers, so that Mao Jue could inherit the throne of the King of Liao in Shengjing, but this throne is really dispensable for Mao Jue, and its greatest significance is nothing more than to show the self-care portal of the Dongjiang River, and at the same time show the muscles to the court with the old bureaucrats, this strategic purpose has been achieved, when to inherit the King of Liao, Mao Jue really doesn't care, Chongzhen's favorite bait of the King of Liao, can not drive Mao Jue to brave the danger of the plague to march.

What can really force Mao Jue is still his old enemy Huang Taiji!

Mao Jue in front of him was also like Sima Yi who was fighting with Zhuge Liang, holding on to his war horse and looking at it in astonishment.

Did Huang Taiji really give up Shengjing City, give up the entire Qing Dynasty, and give up the country that took two generations to fight and escape?

Not to mention whether the slave owners and nobles of the Eight Banners who are accustomed to farming and are accustomed to being supported by the clothed slaves under their hands can get used to the nomadic life on the grassland, this strategy alone is not advisable, at least a small half of the Qing army is the surrender of the Ming army of the Guanning Jin defense line, if even the empire is gone, it is strange that these traitors can follow the emperor Taiji to die down, once these surrendered troops launch a rebellion, the Qing army will be finished.

And the tiger fell into Pingyang and was bullied by dogs! After that year, Jin was fierce and mighty on the grassland, and became the master of all Mongolian tribes, and now he is like a lost dog with the old, weak, sick and disabled to flee to the grassland.
