Text Chapter 1073 A Thousand Miles Rush

When Li Zicheng received the message from Wang Anping, he knew that he didn't have time to drink with the four beauties tonight, and as for staying overnight, he didn't have to think about it.

He returned to the dining hall, hurriedly ate two steamed buns, and asked Wang Lian to accompany him to the imperial study.

After Wang Anping left a message, he left temporarily, and Li Zicheng needed to be alone and quiet.

The message was not from the Southern Division, let alone from Yungui, but from the Northern Division, and it was a message from the Mongols.

Last year's battle of Ningyuan, Dolgon lost his soldiers, suffered heavy casualties, the white flag was almost completely annihilated, even the Prince of Yu Duoduo died on the battlefield, the white flag casualties were nearly half, the eight banners of the Han army except for the soldiers who died in battle, all in the battlefield against the water, the Mongolian eight banners were wiped out!

Dolgon used his power to forcibly let Azig take over as the owner of the White Banner and re-establish the White Banner.

The Han Army Banner did not dare to form for the time being, but the Mongols had long been allies of the Qing Dynasty and had to restore the Eight Mongol Banners.

Dolgon asked Turg to send envoys to the Mongol ministries, nominally to comfort the Mongol ministries, but in fact to recruit troops from the Mongol ministries and re-raise the banner of the Eight Banners of Mongolia.

Turg knew in his heart that under the circumstances of the fiasco of the Qing Dynasty and the annihilation of the Mongol Eight Banners, it must be very difficult to recruit troops from various Mongolian departments, and the strong man is the life of the nomadic tribe # root!

The Mongols' resistance to conscription was far beyond Turg's imagination, and in addition to trying their best to pass the buck, even the number of conscripts could not be debated.

The Eight Banners of the Mongols, which were to be formed, were actually the army of the Manchus, which fought for the interests of the Manchus, but sacrificed the Mongols......

No wonder the Mongol ministries did not support Turg.

There is only the law of the jungle on the grassland, the law of the jungle, the survival of the fittest!

The more strong men, the more warriors, and the stronger the combat effectiveness, on the contrary, if there are not enough strong men, they can only be slaughtered, and it is difficult for cattle, sheep, grasslands, and even women to protect themselves.

They are all vassals and the Qing Dynasty, and the battles on the grassland will not be too frequent, but the small-scale plundering will never decrease, and the Qing Dynasty will not interfere.

In the blood of nomadic tribes, there has never been a lack of fighting factors.

When the Qing Dynasty formed the Mongolian Eight Banners, the Mongolian ministries had just returned to obedience, and in order to express their loyalty to the Qing Dynasty, they all gritted their teeth and endured the pain to transfer the strong men, and originally only needed to replenish a very small number of strong men every year, or even did not need to replenish.

But in the first battle of Ningyuan, the Mongolian Eight Banners were annihilated!

The Mongol tribes were resentful and even more jealous of China's combat effectiveness.

Turg said that the roots of the teeth were worn out, but the Mongols were unmoved, and for most of the year, the number of recruited soldiers was far from meeting the minimum requirements, and he had a negative Qing Dynasty, depressed in his heart, and he was old, and the old wounds on his body often flared up, and he was delayed for a period of time in the Sunit Left Banner, and he couldn't afford to get sick, and died of illness in a few days.

Tengjith, the owner of the Sunit Left Banner, was afraid, and feared that the Qing Dynasty would count Turg's death on his own head, so he contacted Tengjitai, the owner of the Sunit Right Banner, to discuss the next countermeasures.

Tengjisi and Tengjitai were originally brothers, and the two agreed to take the tribesmen to flee to Mobei and take refuge in Tushetu Khan.

The people of the Northern Division of the Han Qing Department found out the information and immediately sent the detailed information back to the headquarters of the Nanxun Division with a fast horse, Wang Anping received the information, knowing that the matter was very important, and he did not dare to make the decision, so he asked to see Li Zicheng overnight.

Wang Anping didn't give advice, but Li Zicheng understood his thoughts.

Li Zicheng also has his own thoughts!

Such a good opportunity, if you can't make full use of it, you really disappoint the soldiers of the Northern Division.

The key is how to use it.

Li Zicheng thought about it alone for a long time, and decided to take the risk and take the initiative to reverse Huaxia's passive situation outside the customs in one fell swoop.

The risks are high, but once successful, the benefits can be great.

After thinking about it for a long time and considering all the possibilities, the results are all about the same, risky, but worth the risk.

He asked Wang Lian to immediately pass on Wang Anping, Ren Erxi, and then Liang Wencheng, tonight's palace gate should not be closed.

Wang Anping hadn't fallen asleep yet, maybe it was a kind of induction, maybe it was because he understood the emperor's temperament, and he seemed to feel that the emperor would summon him tonight.

trotted all the way into the Qianqing Palace, and there were no eunuchs and guards to stop him, Wang Anping kowtowed to Li Zicheng, "Your Majesty, what are you doing?" ”

"Why let go of such a great opportunity?" Li Zicheng did not let Wang Anping take his seat, "Immediately summon the personnel of the Northern Division, contact Teng Jisi and Teng Jitai, don't hide it, tell them that we will send cavalry to respond." ”

"Obey the order!" Wang Anping said: "If they ask us, where will they be placed......

"Sunit Right Banner to the Jinlianchuan Grassland, just north of Xuanfu, can be attacked, retreat can enter the pass to defend, if they want, they can also stand still, continue to graze in the same place" Li Zicheng said: "We will send tiger cavalry, wolf cavalry and the cavalry of the first battalion to respond, 30,000 cavalry, plus their own cavalry, is enough to deal with the Manchu pursuers." ”

"Tiger cavalry and wolf cavalry?" Wang Anping frowned and said, "They are far away in Shuofang......"

"This time, I want the tiger cavalry and the wolf cavalry to run thousands of miles, just to test their mobility ability," Li Zicheng said with a smile: "Don't worry, the main cavalry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, farther than us, should reach the Sunit Left Banner after us, and we still have the first battalion of cavalry to respond." ”

"Your Majesty, in case the Mongols in the Naturalization City make a move......"

"I will let the seventh battalion move in the direction of Shuofang to temporarily stabilize the western front, and our cavalry will definitely be the first to rush to the Sunit Left Banner," Li Zicheng said: "Since Teng Jisi and Teng Jitai are uneasy in their hearts, they have no way out, unless they go far away from Mobei, and the water and grass in Mobei are never as good as those in Monan, and the weather is even colder!"

"I understand."

Li Zicheng pointed to the map outside the pass and said: "The Abba Ga tribe is the eastern neighbor of the Sunit Division, if the Abba Karma Department is gathered together, we can 'break through in the middle', cut the Mongols in Monan apart, and open up a second battlefield against the Manchus from the west." ”

Wang Anping's gaze also fell on the map, "Your Majesty, if we help the Sunit Department and the Abagar Department to establish a firm foothold, then the large grassland between the Sunit Department and the Shuofang Department will be ours sooner or later." ”

"Don't worry about the Mongolian steppe yet," Li Zicheng said, "Our biggest enemy now is the Manchu Qing Dynasty." ”

"The minister understands, the minister will go to the arraignment!"

"This is a very important matter, pay attention to the use of MeSign, and do not fall into the hands of others!"

"Obey the order!"

After Wang Anping left, Li Zicheng summoned Ren Erxi, and did not say too much, but just asked him to summon the message: The seventh battalion stationed in the northwest quickly moved to Shuofang, sending the main soldiers to garrison Shuofang, and at the same time, the tiger cavalry and wolf cavalry quickly marched east to meet the Sunit department.

Li Zicheng is not worried that the Manchu cavalry will follow behind the Sunit Department to catch up, Huaxia has already mobilized 30,000 cavalry, if they get the cooperation of the Sunit Department and the Abaga Department, they will still have some cavalry, even if they can't win, they can keep the war in a stalemate and compete with each other!

Ren Erxi just left, Liang Wencheng hurried to the Qianqing Palace, the emperor summoned him overnight, he knew that the stakes were very high, and he didn't dare to delay a soak in urine, "The emperor ......"

Li Zicheng handed over the message from the Northern Division of the Han Qing Ministry, "Wencheng will take a look for himself!"

Liang Wencheng took a look, immediately frowned, and said for a long time: "Your Majesty, there is a gap between the Sunit tribe and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which is really a great thing for my Huaxia......"

Li Zicheng laughed and said: "Wen Cheng thinks it's just a good thing? Or do you blame me for pulling you out of the bed? ”

"Don't dare!" Liang Wencheng suddenly felt that something was wrong, if it was just a good thing, why did the emperor summon him in the middle of the night? "Could it be that the emperor found a fighter plane from it?"

"Those who know me, Wen Chengye!" Li Zicheng said with a smile: "Since there is a gap between the Sunit tribe and the Manchu Qing, why don't we take advantage of it?" ”

"What does the emperor mean ......" Liang Wencheng muttered: "With the strength of the Sunit tribe, I shouldn't dare to turn against the Manchus......

"The Sunit tribe may not dare, what if I lend him two guts?"

"Borrowed guts?" Liang Wencheng seemed to understand, "The emperor is saying that I will assist them in Huaxia?" ”

"Wen Cheng is right," Li Zicheng said, "I plan to use the Chinese cavalry to meet the Sunits, or Wen Cheng is my confidant!"

"But, the emperor ......"

"Wen Cheng is worried that the cavalry of Huaxia will be difficult to resist the cavalry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty?"

"Actually, there is no need for us to help Sunit, if it is not my race, its heart will be different......"

"The enemy of the enemy is a friend," Li Zicheng said with a smile: "The Mongol tribes in southern Mo, taken by the strong combat effectiveness of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, are all under the wings of the Manchu Qing, although the strength is not strong, but it is a tiger, if we can provide protection for the Sunit Ministry, the other Mongolian tribes may not have a new estrangement with the Manchu Dynasty......

"The emperor already has a plan?" Liang Wencheng said in his heart: Thank God, the emperor must not personally enlist.

Li Zicheng explained his plans and plans, including the matter of sending envoys to the Abagar tribe, "Wen Cheng thinks, can we break through in the middle, completely separate the Mongolian tribes, and then gradually attract the Mongolian tribes through the form of trade?" ”

"This method may work, but it is too dangerous," Liang Wencheng said: "If the Manchus send out cavalry, how will we deal with it?" ”

"Well," Li Zicheng paused, and said: "In case the war is unfavorable, we can withdraw to the Guannei with the Sunit Department, with the side wall to rely on, and tens of thousands of troops, what can the Manchus do to me?" ”

Liang Wencheng knew that Li Zicheng did not have a personal expedition, so he was relieved, and tunneled: "Your Majesty, the minister has a suggestion......

"Wencheng doesn't have to hide it!"

"The minister obeys the order," Liang Wencheng arched his hand and said: "If the Manchu cavalry goes south, the third battalion of Liaodong can harass in Liaodong, and even take the initiative to attack, making it difficult for the Manchus to take care of it!"

"That's a good idea," Li Zicheng said with a smile: "Wencheng has always been a civilian official, but I didn't expect that the military strategy did not fall at all, I will give an order to the third battalion tomorrow, let Li Xinduo send rangers out, in addition, if the Han and Qing troops find out the information that the Manchu cavalry is going south, they will also inform the third battalion in time!"
