Chapter 135 Sharpen the knife

Wu Sangui's strength in the Yellow River did not have an unexpected situation. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lao Wu, who had just become the first living king with a different surname in the history of the Ming Dynasty, was in a state of excitement at this time, even if there was no emperor's holy decree, he would have to fight the Yellow River to repay the emperor's holy grace, and his hundreds of thousands of soldiers who had won thousands of miles of territory from eastern Hebei all the way were also in a state of morale, and a Yellow River really couldn't stop their footsteps. Immediately afterwards, they forcibly crossed the Yellow River at Liuyuankou, and repelled Li Guo's army with mortar cannons and flowering shells, and then successfully surrounded Kaifeng.

After a salvo of five Shenwei invincible general cannons, the Shun army defending the city abandoned the city and fled.

"Well, it's not hard to fight!"

Yang Feng said speechlessly.

In fact, Li Zicheng had 50,000 troops in Henan, and the north of the Yellow River was Dolgon's, and Yang Feng stabbed him behind Dolgon, so it was impossible for him to go south, so why did he leave too many troops in Henan? He is willing, the generals under him are still unwilling, Henan's poor jingle has been robbed countless times, and the rats are crying, there is a world of flowers in Jiangnan to grab, who loves to stay in this kind of place! That is, Li Guo has a special relationship with him to take care of the overall situation, and the eyes of the remaining generals staring at the south are green, how can they stay in Henan.

In the final analysis, Li Zicheng is nothing more than an alliance gathered under the banner of fighting local tyrants, and there is still a long way to go from the real sense of power, in many things Li Zicheng actually said it doesn't count, and even if Li Guo is under his hands, the real elite is actually less than 10,000, and the rest are all just some ragtags.

"Your Majesty, do you want to go on the offensive?"

Li Yutian asked.

"It's better to be cautious, send a message to the king of Guangling, let him temporarily garrison Kaifeng first, the soldiers are tired from a long battle, and it is time to rest."

Yang Feng said.

He fought the Yellow River just to tell Li Zicheng not to go forward, but if he really recovers Henan, this is not in his option, at least this year he does not have this idea, he must concentrate on dealing with the large-scale chaos that will inevitably occur in this year's autumn harvest season, it will really be a mess, and he must control the chaos within the range that he can accept. And until this level passes, he will not continue to expand southward, and he can't deal with opponents like Li Zicheng the same as dealing with Dolgon, the rebellious poor people in the hands of the former can not be killed or try not to kill, after all, they are just a group of hungry people struggling to survive, forcing them to the point of rebellion, which is completely the sins of the court itself.

So you have to be aggressive to deal with them.

As long as he can deal with the soil in Hebei, let the people get the land, and then spread the immortal seeds, so that the people can see the hope of abundant food and clothing, then it can be said that the vast majority of the soldiers of the Shun army will defect like the green battalion, in the final analysis, Li Zicheng These guys have never been a military problem.

"How's it going on over there in Dolgon?"

Then he asked.

According to their confessions, Dolgon was depressed and completely left to do nothing, Geng Zhongming committed suicide the day before yesterday, and other Jiannu officers and soldiers committed suicide every day, according to the governor of the blockade, it would be almost the same for two more months."

Li Yutian said.

"Then keep around!"

Yang Feng said with satisfaction.

"What about Liaoyang?"

He then asked.

"Liaoyang's Tang Du Governor reported that according to the raised balloon reconnaissance, there hasn't been much chaos in the city, and there should be enough food to support, but this is also a matter of time, our perimeter walls have all been built, and they won't be trapped this year or not, and it will be the same next year. Anyway, they are just relying on the support of food in the city, they can survive the past two years in one year, and they will not be able to survive the third year, all around are our Zhuangzi, not to mention the 50,000 defenders, the number of people rescued from the hands of the Tartars and the immigrants returning from Shandong has exceeded 300,000, and it is impossible for those banner people in the city to escape. ”

Li Yutian said.

Yang Feng nodded with the same satisfaction.

"I also sent someone to tell them a little bit, so that they know that as long as they are purified, they can surrender to the imperial court, and we don't have to kill them all, nor do we leave them a way to live."

Then he said.

If the Jiannu in Liaoyang City are counted, then the Great Pyramid will have enough manpower to start construction.

"Uh, Your Majesty is merciful!"

Li Shoufu hurriedly said.

"Where's Hauge?"

Yang Feng then asked.

"Haoge has given up the defense of Tieling and Kaiyuan, and then retreated all the bannermen to the mountains, but Huang Dudu reported that Jiannu and Korea fought a battle in Uiju, and the Koreans wanted to recapture Uiju, but they were defeated by Jiannu."

Li Yutian said.

"Uh, there's such a thing?"

Yang Feng's eyes lit up immediately.

In fact, this is not surprising, the Li family was beaten twice by Huang Taiji, it can be said that the hatred is as deep as the sea, and there is no ability to resist before, so he can only be honest and obedient, but at this time the Manchu Qing Dynasty is no longer in the past, and it is not normal for the Li family to take the opportunity to take revenge, although the Qing army withdrew from North Korea before, but it has been controlling the bridgehead of the Yalu River, Yizhou, and the Li family wants to resist of course the first thing is to recapture Yizhou, as for being defeated......

Well, it's a miracle that they either fail miserably!

Although Haoge Tiger fell to Pingyang, it is not something that a little wild dog like them can bully, needless to say, it is no problem for Haoge's men to put together 10,000 soldiers, not to mention defeating the North Korean army, even if they hit Seoul again, I am afraid it will be completely possible, since this is the case......

"Send a message to Tang Yu, since the situation in Liaoyang has stabilized, then there is no need to continue to maintain an army of 50,000, transfer two towns to withdraw to Guannei!"

Yang Feng said.

"Your Honor."

Li Shoufu said hurriedly.

He knew very well that the emperor's scourge had one more target, and the Ming army's withdrawal of 20,000 would not have any impact on the siege of Liaoyang, in fact, the main force of the siege of Liaoyang was the people around who were originally clothed and slaved, and they could all take up arms to participate in the battle, and the walls around Liaoyang were built, and those cannons were facing the city gate, and those bannermen in Liaoyang City were old, weak, sick and disabled were not able to break through, but if only 30,000 Ming troops were left, they would also not be able to attack Hetuala. This is actually to relax the oppression of Hauge and let him deal with the Li family without distraction.

Although I don't know why the emperor wants to pit the Li family, if he likes it, he will pit it.

It is said that the Li family has not come to pay tribute so far.

"By the way, why hasn't the Li family come to pay tribute?"

Yang Feng said.

Obviously, he also discovered this problem, according to the right reason, at this time, the Li family has automatically gotten rid of the clutches of the Qing army, so there is no problem for them to re-claim the Ming Dynasty as a minister, but it is a little strange that the Li family has not come over yet.

"Do you want Lin Qingye to urge it?"

Li Yutian said.

"No need, it's up to them to do this kind of thing!"

Yang Feng said.

Since this is the case, Li Shoufu will not say much.

"What is the situation in the Mongolian ministries?"

Then the emperor asked again.

"The head of the Chahar tribe, Abneh, asked to submit to the court, and was willing to bring a cavalry to participate in the siege of Dolgon, before Dolgon slaughtered his two tribes in order to obtain supplies, killing thousands of them, and now the Chahar tribe is hating Dolgon, and many other Mongol tribes have also asked for submission."

Li Yutian said.

"They're all smart people."

Yang Feng said with satisfaction.

The choice of the Mongolian tribes is very normal, they were all beaten down by the Manchus, and now the Manchus are beaten down by Yang Feng, and there is an example of Yang Feng Tu Korqin before, at this time they choose to return to the Ming Dynasty is the most reasonable choice, anyway, it is nothing more than to change the tablet to worship on the head, and it is impossible for anyone to fight with them in the grassland, at least in the short term.

"In this case, then meet their requirements, according to the titles that Jiannu gave them before, change the name and re-seal them, if there is anything unsatisfactory, you can raise it with me, I can seal a few more, but they must also strictly abide by the system of demarcating pastoral areas, do not allow cross-border trouble, and must ensure the courtesy of inland merchants to them. In addition, I respect the Dharma, in the future, each ministry of Mongolia must build its own temple, and every household must have someone to go to the temple to worship the Buddha, of course, if more people are willing, I am also very encouraged, and I will have a reward for worshipping the Buddha in the future, in fact, half of the men in each family worship the Buddha, which should be the best way for them to express their piety. ”

Yang Feng said.

Li Shoufu nodded indifferently.

He found that the emperor's skills were getting more and more powerful, and he still respected Buddhism, and he didn't know who had just killed the monks on the battlefield.

To deal with the Mongolian ministries, it is necessary to learn from the Jiannu, some of their experience is still very desirable, after all, these experiences have been tested in practice, and in the future, put more small creatures that are invisible to the naked eye, and this problem will be basically solved. Anyway, there is no need for the people to immigrate to the grassland in the short term, let's make do with them first, and even if the Han people want to open up living space, there is no need to go to the grassland, overseas colonization is the king, as for the Mongolian grassland, try to let it be barren, otherwise Yang Feng does not want to eat sand from Inner Mongolia in Beijing every year, in fact, at this time the city of Beijing has begun to endure the baptism of sandstorms.

After glancing around like this, Yang Feng quickly threw the guys around him aside, sharpened his knife and slaughtered the villagers in the newly occupied area.
