Chu Lushan listened, and suddenly saw the fearful gaze on the faces of a group of people. Although there was some comfort in his heart, he still laughed dryly and said: "Today is also a big day for Lord Qin Xia to take office, I think Lord Qin Xia should think about how to celebrate." ”
"Well, that's right." Zhu Cihong smiled, pinching a copy of the newspaper he had just received in his hand, but he didn't smile really enough.
It is naturally impossible for Li Zicheng to hit Linqing City, at least in a short period of half a year.
But after the establishment of slaves, the Jin army wanted to fight in Linqing City, but Zhu Cihong knew that this was 100%.
And the reason why Zhu Cihong wants to say such things is because...... Zhu Cihong had just received the news of the battle situation in Henan, and while sighing in his heart, he couldn't help but be a little uncontrollable, and casually said to vent his feelings.
When Si En confirmed Zhu Cihong's understanding in Beijing, more and more detailed information was transmitted to Zhu Cihong's hands.
The situation in the Central Plains.
These four big characters that attracted Zhu Cihong's attention caused countless people to fall into military disasters and have different heads. also made Zhu Cihong toss and turn, unable to sleep day and night.
After Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai merged, they were already powerful, and after breaking through the Guide Mansion, Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai were joined by the small Yuan battalion of the local peasant army in Henan headed by Yuan Shizhong.
The peasant army's move was apparently to prepare for the third attack on Kaifeng Province.
After careful calculation, there are three trump cards in the hands of the imperial court at this time: one is the Shaanxi soldiers; the second is the Huguang soldiers; The third is Baoding soldiers.
The governors of Shaanxi Bing were Fu Zonglong and Wang Qiaonianxian, Sun Chuanting, the governor of Huguangbing was now Ding Qirui, and the governor of Baoding Bing was Yang Wenyue.
The commander of the Shaanxi soldiers will be He Renlong, the commander of the Huguang soldiers will be Zuo Liangyu, and the commander of the Baoding soldiers will be Hu Dawei.
In addition, on the one hand, the official army also had Sichuan soldiers who were entangled in the Sichuan Confucian Society, as well as Liu Qingze's Shandong soldiers who had not yet rushed over, and Zhu Dadian's Nanjing soldiers. However, these forces are more small and scattered, and they can't actually help to break the siege and Kaifeng.
As for the Shaanxi soldiers who hung up the governor one after another, the Baoding soldiers of Baoding Governor Yang Wenyue, and the Huguang soldiers of the Governor Ding Qirui, it made Zhu Cihong's heart a little stuffy.
In the battle of Xiangcheng, which hung up the governor of Shaanxi, Fu Zonglong, the Shaanxi soldiers led by Fu Zonglong and the Baoding soldiers led by Yang Wenyue participated in the battle.
In the battle of Xiangcheng, the governor of Shaanxi, Wang Qiaonian, the Shaanxi soldiers led by Wang Qiaonian rescued Zuo Liangyu's Huguang soldiers, but they did not expect the Huguang soldiers to cooperate with the battle after the siege was lifted, and this unrighteous act led to the Shaanxi soldiers to flee, and the result was that Wang Qiaonian died in battle and Sun Chuanting took over.
The typical living treasure of this team's teammates made Zhu Cihong scratch his head.
There is a way that is not afraid of god-like opponents, but is afraid of pig-like opponents. Now Zhu Cihong has encountered more than just pig-like teammates, this is simply an ally who specializes in pitting teammates.
It was such a complicated situation that forced Zhu Cihong to feel at ease on the canal for a day, and quickly rushed to Linqing to run his own basic market.
Staying in the capital, even if it affects the emperor, with the center and the court that are gradually weakening, even if he can successfully behead the civil officials and supervisors, it still can't affect the military generals who are gradually dominating. Zhu Cihong was unable to control the situation of the battle through the center at all. The battle was lost, and even if Zhu Cihong managed well in the center, it would be in vain.
……
Kaifeng City, Governor's Mansion.
This is the residence of Ding Qirui, the governor of Huguang, Henan, Sichuan and the north and south of the Yangtze River.
Ding Qirui's position is inherited from Yang Sichang. As the emperor's most trusted minister, Yang Sichang and Chongzhen even had a relationship of being both a courtier and a friend. And Yang Sichang is also full of a heart that treats me as a countryman and I repay him as a countryman.
It's just that whether Yang Sichang is too eager to make meritorious contributions, or Yang Sichang's character flaws lead to the inability to restrain Zuo Liangyu's rebellion, or the Ming Dynasty can no longer control Zuo Liangyu, who has a warlord atmosphere.
In short, Yang Sichang, who was killed by Zhang Xianzhong and the two vassal kings, finally died of depression.
But the successor Ding Qirui is not a qualified commander.
For a commander-in-chief, the boundaries are often not clear. It's just that in wartime, this criterion is relatively clear.
That's ...... Whether they can win the battle.
In Ding Qirui's position, if he further talks about how to win the battle, it depends on whether he can control the generals under his command.
For this point, Yang Sichang was qualified in the first half of his tenure, because he was able to control Zuo Liangyu, not only helped Zuo Liangyu solve the problem of losing the seal due to defeat, but also was quite effective in logistics, so that Zuo Liangyu contributed quite a lot in several wars.
As a result, Yang Sichang won several important big victories in the first half of his tenure.
From this point of view, Ding Qirui is not a qualified commander in the whole process.
After the death of Yang Sichang in the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen followed Chen Xinjia's suggestion and gave Ding Qirui Shang Fangjian, Feiyu Fu and Yin Xin, so that he could take Yang Sichang's position on his behalf, and the governors of Henan, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Huguang, Sichuan and the armies in the north and south of the Yangtze River became the governors of the five provinces and were honored as governors.
After taking over the position, Ding Qi was also promoted, and he was happily ordered to go out of Tongguan and prepare to go to Jingzhou to take over Yang Changsi's army. However, at this time, the Huguang Patrol issued a document according to Wang Chengzhao, saying that there were thieves in Henan, Jingzhou and Xiangyang did not need a large army, and all the ships of Hanshui were hidden to prevent Ding Qirui from crossing the river. Ding Qirui turned to Dengzhou, and all the people in Dengzhou closed the door and did not accept Ding Qirui; Ding Qirui went to the inner countryside, and the introverted officials cut off their food. At this point, the grief-stricken Ding Qirui had no choice but to lead the army, and could only satisfy his hunger by killing the war horses and weeds.
From this, it can be seen how miserable Ding Qirui is.
Although Ding Qirui is not good at mixing in Huguang, Ding Qirui has a relationship with Kaifeng City.
At that time, Li Zicheng broke through Luoyang and attacked Kaifeng for the first time, claiming to have 700,000 soldiers and horses. Although Ding Qirui was the governor of the five provinces, he was unable to deal with the situation, so he had to pick a weaker-looking Zhang Xianzhong as his opponent, claiming that this was also a Henan rebel. Then he finally said that Zuo Liangyu went to Guangshan to make a gesture to beat Zhang Xianzhong.
In this way, when Li Zicheng besieged Kaifeng for the first time, Ding Qirui successfully dodged. Fortunately, Li Zicheng was only a sneak attack at that time, and he withdrew if he couldn't beat Kaifeng.
The second time, last year, that is, in December of the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng besieged Kaifeng again. At that time, Li Xianfeng, the governor of Henan, was still encircling and suppressing the rebels in northern Henan, and Chen Yongfu, the deputy general of Kaifeng City, just led the army to rescue Luoyang. For this reason, Gao Mingheng, the governor of Henan, could only try his best to aid Ding Qirui.
