Chapter 588: Preparing for a Decisive Battle
In Xi'an City, Gao Yihuan originally wanted to change his name to Chang'an, but then he endured it and listened to Li Yan's words, so he didn't change it.
Guanzhong originally had a large pro-vassal of the Ming Dynasty, and there was a magnificent palace of the King of Qin in Xi'an, but after Li Zicheng invaded Xi'an, part of the palace was burned, and when Li Zicheng withdrew from Xi'an, it was set on fire by the Shun army.
If the Qin Palace was still there, Gao Yihuan would directly stay in the Qin Palace. Now Gao Yihuan's Wei Wangfu is Wu Sangui's mansion.
On the third day of February, Gao Yihuan returned to Xi'an from Yan'an, and the officers and men of all the Wei army had already assembled near Xi'an.
At this time, the Wei army occupied Guanzhong, and in nearly a month, the official system of the Wei State had been established in Guanzhong.
In such a short period of time, it was quite difficult to do this, but because a large number of degraded officials were retained, the bureaucratic system in Guanzhong did not suffer much damage, so it only changed the original military government's six cao into six departments, and after adding a few yamen, the system was established and could barely function.
Of course, there will inevitably be a suspicion that the revolution is not complete, and most of the demos are not a good thing, but the military government cannot find so many officials to rule Guanzhong for a while, and there are no talents who are familiar with the situation in Guanzhong, so they can only appoint these degraded officials for the time being.
Fortunately, most of these demoted officials are profit-heavy people, and they defected to the Manchu Qing Dynasty in order to be promoted and make a fortune, and it doesn't matter if they change kings now.
As long as Gao Yihuan is not killed and defeated, these demoted officials will not rebel for the time being.
Now it is only temporary, and when the Qing army's attack is repulsed, then slowly improve the official position and eliminate these demoted officials.
The north gate of Xi'an City, the city gate is wide open, Gao Yihuan is surrounded by a large number of black-armored soldiers, and the horse's hooves are clattering into the city, and the soldiers wearing black armor on both sides of the street are holding spears with serious expressions to protect the safety of the King of Wei.
After all, the Wei army has just occupied Guanzhong, and the power of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty in Guanzhong still exist, so if a cold arrow is released and the King of Wei is shot, it is not a joke, so the guards must be strict.
The black-armored cavalry surrounded Gao Yihuan, crossed the street, and galloped all the way to the Wei Wang's mansion.
Gao Yihuan reined in the reins of the horse, and the guards on duty in front of the palace immediately ran over to help Gao Yihuan hold the war horse, and Gao Yihuan carried the horse whip and walked into the palace quickly.
At this time, Gao Yihuan's family members were still in Nanyang City, so the palace was empty, and there were only some guards.
Gao Yihuan walked straight to the lobby, took off the helmet, and asked the guards to help hang it up, then spread his hands out, and while letting the guards help remove the armor, he ordered: "Pass the order, gather the generals, and a few gentlemen, come to the palace to discuss matters!" ”
When Gao Yihuan was still in Yan'an, he had already ordered the generals to wait in Xi'an, and about half an hour later, generals rushed to the palace one after another.
Zhao Daxian, Xu Heihu, Bai Wang, Bai Wenxuan, Hu Dawei and other generals were introduced into the lobby one after another, and they saw several soldiers assembling a huge sand table.
What is going to be discussed today, many generals know it, and when they saw that King Wei had not yet come, they began to discuss it.
At this time, the guard suddenly shouted: "The king has arrived!" ”
Tang Chinese Wu immediately separated the two sides and saluted: "Welcome the king!" ”
Gao Yihuan wore a black official robe, a jade belt around his waist, and a Yishan crown on his head.
Not to mention, he is slightly chubby, very blessed, and really looks a bit like the emperor who came out of the portrait.
Gao Yihuan waved his hand, "No need to be polite, I summoned everyone here today to discuss important matters." ”
"King Xie!" Everyone straightened up in unison and stood on either side.
Gao Yihuan sat on the throne with a golden sword, looked at Hu Dawei first, and said: "General Hu, what is the movement of the Qing army in the direction of Tongguan and Pujindu?" ”
Hu Dawei hugged his fists and said: "King, the Qing army has increased its troops to Shanxi by 30,000, but there has been no change in the direction of Pujin. These 30,000 Qing soldiers should have been garrisoned in Shanxi by the Qing army to prevent us from directly entering Shanxi and forcing Beijing. Geng Zhongming's garrison in Shaanzhou only attacked Tongguan. Before the Qing army brought artillery, it should not have attacked the fortifications on a large scale. ”
It seems that the Qing army is very well prepared, and even the road that attacked Shanxi, threatened Beizhi, and forced the Qing army to retreat was blocked for him.
Tongguan is the world's Xiongguan, after the Wei army suddenly occupied, the Qing army was beaten by a mistake, if you want to recapture Tongguan, you need to build equipment, and the most important thing is that the red-coated cannon must be in place.
Gao Yihuan listened and bowed slightly, "Haoge in Hetao and Geng Zhongming in Shaanzhou have not made much moves, and the main direction of the Qing army is undoubtedly southern Henan." ”
Saying that, Gao Yihuan asked, "Jin Shenghuan and Wu Shizhao, did you send any news?" ”
Chen Mingxia said: "The military department has just received a report, Shang Kexi led 30,000 people from Zhengzhou to the south, Duoduo 60,000 people from Shangqiu to the east, Xuzhou, Linying, and Xihua have all fallen one after another. ”
At this time, Fang Jiayu stood up and reported: "King, the minister has a situation that needs to be reported. Xuanyiwei found out that Nanjing seemed to be negotiating with the Qing army in Jiangbei, and if they reached an agreement, they would stop the war. With 100,000 Qing troops under Azig and 200,000 surrendered troops, they could withdraw from Jiangbei and attack southern Henan. As a result, the pressure on southern Henan will be difficult to estimate. ”
Hearing this, all the soldiers in the hall immediately blew up, and the faces of the civil officials and strategists were also difficult to look at.
Isn't Nanjing a pit man? In order to relieve you from the siege, our Wei army started a war with the Tartars. Now the Tartars will fight us, but the Donkey Day will negotiate a truce. This is not to make hundreds of thousands of Wei soldiers miserable.
Nanjing is doing this, even if the people who are still in love with the Ming Dynasty, they also feel very uncomfortable in their hearts, and they feel like they have been betrayed and betrayed.
Gao Yihuan's eyes narrowed, and Lao Tzu knew that his brother-in-law was unreliable, but Gao Yihuan had expected this situation, so he was not surprised.
Gao Yihuan released Meng Qiaofang, and also wanted to make a truce with the Qing army, hoping that the Qing army would target Nanjing, and Nanjing made such a decision, from Nanjing's point of view, it also has their reasons.
Between forces, morality and morality cannot be constrained, and the same was true in the war hundreds of years later.
Gao Yihuan raised his hand and pressed it to silence everyone, then stood up, walked to the edge of the sand table, frowned, and said, "It seems that this battle should be fought quickly!" ”
As he spoke, Gao Yihuan suddenly turned his head and asked, "What's the situation over there with Wu Sangui?" ”
Chen Mingxia said: "King, Zhang Xianzhong was in Baocheng, he was hit by an arrow, and the Western Army withdrew from Hanzhong. Our army received the Dasanguan, and Wang Deren sent 6,000 people to the west from Xunyang Mansion, and had already taken Xing'an Mansion, Wu Sangui waited for us to deliver grain and grass, and then the whole army entered Sichuan and handed over Nanzheng and other places! ”
Gao Yihuan raised his eyebrows, "The grain and grass will be delivered after Wu Sangui's advance enters Sichuan and gives up Nanzheng." Zhao Daxian, King Gu gave you 15,000 elite soldiers, plus Wang Yongqiang's 7,000 men, you immediately went to receive Nanzheng. ”
Zhao Daxian came out and said: "The minister receives the order!" ”
When the problem in Hanzhong was solved, Gao Yihuan was in a big trouble, and then looked at everyone and asked: "King Lone, it has been decided that in the next few days, he will go out of the customs to fight a decisive battle with the Qing army, what are your opinions?" ”
All the soldiers immediately gathered around the sand table, looking at the small flag above, they all frowned, Duoduo plus Shang Kexi, the current Qing army invested in southern Henan, it is already nearly 100,000, if Azig transfers another 200,000 people to invest in southern Henan, this battle will really be difficult to fight.
