Chapter 916: There is no doubt about employing people

Cheng Xiaolian is in Beijing City, but he is concerned about the war under the city, since he has sent Wang Jiyong to Liaodong, even if Tuhai turns back, he can't go back to Beijing City, otherwise Cheng Xiaolian dares to guarantee that Tuhai will definitely give up the rescue of Beijing City and Liaodong, and then Wang Jiyong will have the risk of losing the whole army.

It's just a matter in the army, Cheng Xiaolian is inconvenient to meddle, it's right that he has wisdom, but for this kind of large-scale military battle, it is better to fight it steadily.

And Daniel Zhang is different from Yuan Zonghao and Qin Yue, the two of them are old men who have followed Cheng Xiaolian for many years, and they can not listen to Cheng Xiaolian's orders for the sake of the situation on the battlefield, and they also know that Cheng Xiaolian will definitely not blame them after the war.

But Daniel Zhang is different, first of all, his identity is here, if he does not listen to the order, will those people think that he still has a heart for Manchu Qing? At that time, the army had to be chaotic, so Cheng Xiaolian simply didn't go to the army to cause chaos, and stayed in the city.

There are more than 2,000 people in Beijing City now, including his guard battalion, and even Meng Ke and Hu Dadao have asked him to send them out.

Yang Youcai was not dissatisfied with this, but just asked Cheng Xiaolian to agree to him a request, if the situation was not right, he would immediately run away with Jinyiwei, with Jinyiwei's development over the years, it would not be a problem to keep Cheng Xiaolian. Those ministers in the court are also ready to run away together, and when there are many people, even if Tuhai is a god, he will not be able to find Cheng Xiaolian.

As for the original ministers of Beijing City, I am afraid that the knife on their necks may not necessarily run with them, their official fortunes have been integrated with this Beijing City, Beijing City can continue to be officials in them, at least no one will touch them until it is completely stable, as for what happens in the future, it depends on the ability of each family, if they can quickly establish a good relationship with the new dynasty, this net worth and official position can all be saved.

The people of Beijing City are still living their own lives, and no one thinks that there is anything they have to do with the change of dynasty, even if Li Zicheng entered Beijing at the beginning, he also went to the homes of high-ranking officials and nobles, and basically did not provoke the people, because at that time Li Zicheng still planned to be a good emperor, and he must not let his subordinates bully the people. However, the quality of these mud legs under his command is really not high, and later it also implicated some people, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs and had little interest in these people, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty had once fought the city of Beijing, will there be any difference from the last time?

Daniel Zhang was very cautious in the military array, and Cheng Xiaolian's kindness was not easy to repay, and now the safety of the entire Ming Dynasty was in his hands, which was a great trust in him, compared to the Manchu Qing's trust in Manchu officials more than Han military generals, that is a world of difference.

The more he is at this time, the more he must be worthy of Cheng Xiaolian's trust, if there is a little inappropriateness, first of all, the officers and soldiers in the army will be suspicious, and the army will have to be chaotic.

You must know that Cheng Xiaolian's prestige in the army is more than that of any general, and these soldiers are proud to have fought side by side with His Majesty, and to let them know that Daniel Zhang has a heart of disobedience, the first one must stand up and oppose it.

So before the big war, Daniel Zhang first called the generals to his side and said the current situation: "All orders on the battlefield are against the move, and the commander may also deliberately show weakness, but he will definitely not do anything that is negative to the Ming, the family members of the commander are now in Sichuan, don't think too much, if you don't listen to the military order, the sword in the palm of the commander can't spare you!" ”

These generals did not follow Daniel Zhang on the first day, and besides, this is the commander of the army personally ordered by His Majesty, they unconditionally believe in Cheng Xiaolian, naturally they will not get along with Daniel Zhang, and immediately said: "I am willing to obey the commander's orders, and if there is disobedience, military law will deal with it!" ”

The battle outside the city began to kick off, on the one hand, Tuhai who wanted to go back to rescue, and on the other hand, Daniel Zhang, who wanted to prove himself in front of the Daming monarchs, both of them can be said to be first-class generals in this era, and killing together can be regarded as you coming and going.

Although Tu Hai did not suffer a loss in the transformation of the military formation, he suffered a big loss in the tricks, and there were too many tricks of the Ming army, whether it was the extreme of the cold weapons of the Modao Array and the Euphorbia Battalion, or the firearms of the military array that had never been seen before, such as muskets and palm thunder, all of which were taken out.

You must know that when fighting in the past, muskets were rarely used on the military formation, and after one shot was released, the bullets of the second shot did not wait to be loaded, and the cavalry of the Qing Dynasty had already arrived in front of them, and one knife could kill you. And the new firearms in the Ming army can be fired continuously, so that Tuhai rushed to the back of the formation, if this thing appears in the battle formation in the future, where is there a way for the Qing cavalry to live, people hold muskets and keep shooting, sooner or later they can shoot you down.

What reassures him is that this musket can only fire seven bullets in a row, and it will also explode, and the equipment of the Ming army is not very much, otherwise this battle is really impossible to fight.

This round of tricks has made Tu Hai tired of coping, and Daniel Zhang, who leads the army on the opposite side, is also a first-class commander of the military formation, and there are almost no flaws in the usual command, so that Tu Hai is even more slandered in his heart in his spare time, if it were not for those mediocre things in the court, how could a character like Daniel Zhang defect to Daming.

Generally speaking, the two sides fought fiercely for five or six days, and the Manchus were at a disadvantage, and in the case that the number of people was not superior, Tuhai had to quickly come up with a good way, otherwise this pass would really not pass.

Although Daniel Zhang has achieved a little advantage, he does not dare to take it lightly, and if he is not careful, he will be beaten into the abyss. So he used his troops more and more carefully.

This is this day Yang Youcai suddenly came to the army and conveyed Cheng Xiaolian's will: "Daniel Zhang, Shu watched these battles in the city, how can you fight like a little lady and be afraid, dare not take the initiative when encountering advantages, dare not expand advantages, dare not fight against Tuhai, Shu tells you, Shu is not afraid that you will lose, nor afraid that Beijing City will be lost, I am afraid that the momentum of this sweeping northern army will make you lose it, if you lose, Beijing City will be lost and brought people back again, if the momentum of this sweeping northern army is gone, what will Shun get back?" ”

After speaking, Yang Youcai handed the holy decree to Daniel Zhang: "The emperor said, let go of your hands and feet to fight in the future battle, if anyone dares to question you, directly show him the holy decree, after reading and cut off his head, the emperor will not say anything else, but if you fight this kind of nest battle, don't blame the emperor for personally going out of the city to settle accounts with you!" ”
