Lin Weiye was attracted by his words: "It turns out that you have such a long-term vision! I thought you wanted to become a feudal warlord and then fight to become emperor in Beijing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Since we have come to this troubled era and have the armed forces in our hands, it is impossible to have no ideas, but it is too tiring to fight one state and one county to change the dynasty, and it is too difficult to rebuild a set of ruling institutions. I've been thinking that if there is no Houjin, no army of displaced people, cut off these two troublemakers, and let the Ming Dynasty continue to exist, I wonder if it can go on the path I expect, of course, this is just an assumption. However, I don't want to be an emperor to the point where I can't do it, and this position is not attractive to me. ”

Lin Weiye gasped: "You want to play with the imperial court, it is more difficult than directly overthrowing the rule of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

"It's not that hard. As long as I blend into the system of the Ming Dynasty, grasp the absolute superiority of force, and come to Beijing with 100,000 soldiers with armor, then the imperial court will become the dough in my hands, and if I want it to be round, I want it to be flat. When the emperor is only a symbol, the cabinet and the six ministries are only executive agencies, and after the real power is in my hands, I will slowly try to establish a political system with checks and balances on power, and this is the situation I want. ”

"Isn't this a constitutional monarchy?"

"Isn't it bad? Although this is not a constitutional monarchy in the true sense of the word, it is only a formality. However, Britain is a country with a constitutional monarchy, and the sun never sets on the empire. Why can't China give it a try? The hope of the rise and fall of the world is placed on one person, and this way of ruling will eventually be swept into the garbage heap of history. ”

Xia Nan pointed to himself: "Even if I oust Chongzhen from power and become the emperor myself, I have the insight and ability of a traverser and can lead everyone along the right track, so what about my children and grandchildren, how can I guarantee that they will not repeat the mistakes of the decline and fall of all feudal dynasties?" In other words, what's the point of the two of us crossing over and rebuilding another version of the Qing Dynasty? Hundreds of years later, will it continue to be enslaved by Western colonizers? ”

"This makes sense, but with Chongzhen's stubborn and self-righteous temperament, you want to be Cao Cao and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, he may not be willing to be Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty."

Xia Nan raised his eyebrows: "This is indeed an unavoidable problem." But then again, if it is not broken, how can I rebuild the new system if this set of feudal shackles is not broken, and when the time comes, I will take him off the dragon chair, and when the time comes, I will be the emperor myself, or I will set up an obedient puppet to be the Chinese version of the shogun, depending on my mood. ”

Lin Weiye nodded: "Sounds lofty." However, the ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny, so you should think about how to defeat the officers and troops in front of you first. ”

Xia Nan stretched out his hand and gestured with a pistol, pointing to the opposite side: "Tuji Wagouer, don't be afraid." Tell us that all reactionaries are paper tigers! ”

"You can blow it hard!"

"Haha......" The laughter of the two could be heard far away in the wilderness.

In the early morning of the second day, Wei Lianheng led 200 people to pass through Chengmai County and carefully advance along the post road. Although the encirclement and suppression army is in the area of Bofu, it is also necessary to be careful that the post road encounters the Tang Ma of the official army and leaks the traces.

When passing through the stone mountain, the flag looming in the forest on the mountain attracted Wei Lianheng's attention. He observed the surrounding terrain, this not too high hillside is close to the post road, which is the best choice for the grain platform, maybe the grain platform of the official army is located here.

Regardless of whether it was a grain platform or not, after fighting, Wei Lianheng led the men and horses to charge directly to the top of the mountain. One of the purposes of the grain platform set up in a high place is to observe the surroundings from a high position, and if you appear on the post road, you may have been discovered, and there is no point in hiding.

When rushing halfway up the mountain, there was a sound of shouting and screaming from the top of the mountain, and a group of Ming soldiers rushed down with swords and guns in hand.

Although it was a back attack, the hillside was not steep and relatively gentle, and the team members stood in formation and met it with bayonets.

These officers and soldiers guarding the rear were obviously inferior to the elite who attacked the earthen forts, and they collapsed at the first touch, leaving dozens of corpses and fleeing in all directions.

A thousand general shouted hoarsely for everyone to resist and repel the thieves. Although he was wearing armor, he didn't know where the helmet had gone, and it was estimated that he didn't expect to be attacked at the rear of the army, so he hurriedly put it on and went into battle.

Dozens of archers flashed out of the woods and fired a few arrows from a distance. Due to the distance, they also used light arrows to throw, and most of the arrows fell slowly and leisurely, stuck diagonally into the ground, except for a few team members who could not dodge the arrows in their arms, and did not cause many casualties.

Wei Lianheng knew that he couldn't let these archers get close to shoot at each other, and the confrontation of the first few arrows, the rate of fire of firearms was not as good as that of bows and arrows, so he had to strike first. He ordered: "Shoot in place." ”

The distance between the two sides was about 100 paces, which was not the best shooting distance for the Qionghai rifle, but the range and hit rate of the bow and arrow at this distance were even worse.

"Woo hoo hoo", two hundred people fired a volley, and only a dozen archers fell, but they were frightened, turned around and ran, no matter how much the Qian general shouted it didn't work.

Without the threat of long-range strikes, the team quickly reached the top of the mountain. In front of me was an open flat field, piled with bags of grain and chicken carts carrying grain. Hundreds of people saw that someone was killed, and they ran around in fright, and the officers and soldiers tried to form a formation to meet the enemy, but they were disrupted by the people.

After the guards stood still, only two volleys caused the remaining three or four hundred officers and soldiers to collapse, and they ran faster than the people. Wei Lian looked at the officers and soldiers who were scattered and fled in all directions, originally thinking that it would take another round of bayonet charges to disperse the other party, but it seemed that there was no need for it. Looking at the army he had stayed in before in a different identity, he could more deeply understand how unbearable the officers and soldiers were, Wei Lianheng thought to himself, how can such an army block an armed force like the escort team.

Now that the officers and troops have fled, the next thing to do is to destroy the grain. Looking at as many as tens of thousands of catties of grain, some team members said regretfully: "So much grain, it would be good if it could be transported back, it's a pity to burn it!" ”

Most of the two hundred members were Wei Lianheng's old subordinates who had been brought to attack the shipyard before, and he reprimanded angrily: "How many troops do we have, and how many troops do we have?" If we are greedy enough to transport this batch of grain, we will become a burden and a target for the officers and soldiers, and a few thousand people will be killed, and our two hundred people will not be enough to fill the gaps. Only by burning these grains can the back roads of the officers and soldiers be cut off and their morale will be greatly disturbed. ”

Grain and chicken carts were set on fire, and smoke billowed from the rocky hills, which could be seen miles away. (To be continued.) )
