"He didn't kill me, he didn't kill me...... Just to make me feel the pain of dying and extinction, and my relatives and friends have died under the knife. In an instant, He Man seemed to understand.

The monk in front of him is a devil, a real devil.

Although on the surface he seems to be so majestic and profound, as if he is an incarnation of Nyorai.

That's right, even if this little monk doesn't kill himself today, he can break a hand, and he has to cross the entire Jianghuai region and cross the Yellow River back to Beijing, how difficult it is to travel thousands of miles, and I don't know when he will starve on the side of the road, or die at the hands of homeless people and thieves.

Even if God bless him to return to Beijing, what can he do?

I have a broken hand, I have become a waste, will the army still take me in? ：

Our Jianzhou people are heroes on the battlefield, ruthless to the enemy, and even more ruthless to their own people. Especially for worthless waste, it is not forgiving.

When I go back to Beijing, I guess I will become a beggar, what can a big-headed soldier like me do? Without money, Liaodong can't go back.

Yes, the Ningxiang Army is about to hit Beijing and run back to Beijing for thousands of miles, do you really want to witness the demise of the entire Jianzhou?

"Kill me, kill me!" He Man just wanted to scream.

He opened his mouth, but tears flowed silently.

Gradually, the battlefield fell silent, and the auxiliary soldiers of the Ningxiang Army rushed to countless carts, loaded cartloads of goods and armor stripped from the dead people, and pulled them away.

The corpses of the soldiers of the Jianzhou Army who died in the battle were stacked by the river like yards of firewood, and they waited until tomorrow to recruit the people to come and bury them.

As for Homan, he was thrown into the river by the orchard and immersed in icy water.

The water in the river rose again, gradually reaching He Man's chest. The whole body seemed to lighten up, and slowly moved downstream.

In the sunset, the river is dark red, and I don't know if it's the reflection of the glow or human blood, whatever!

He Man began to feel it, his body was so cold that he couldn't help shivering, and the broken arm hurt hotly.

He didn't want to do anything, and pushed himself eastward little by little by the water.

It's all over, there's no point anymore.

He heard his own cry.

**********************************************************

The rain stopped, and it was time for the sun to set, the old camp of the Ningxiang Army.

Shi Kefa was sitting precariously, he had already changed into clean clothes, the ink on the table in front of him had been polished, and half of a fold had been written, but he didn't know how to continue.

His eyes were closed, and he remembered when the group of auxiliaries had stood in the rain when they had been cleaning the battlefield, letting the rain splash on them.

The first army in the world, the first army in the world!

It turns out that it is not a legend that the Ningxiang Army's fierceness is better than that of Jiannu, only if you have seen their performance on the battlefield with your own eyes can you understand this.

With only tens of thousands of horses, the Jiannuju clan can compete with the Ming Dynasty for decades, and swept the entire north, and now it is almost taking Liudu.

I'm afraid that the strength of the Ningxiang Army is no longer weaker than that of Jiannu, let me ask, if one day so many fierce athletes suddenly turn around and kill Nanjing, what kind of situation will it be?

It's a chilling situation!

Although Shi Kefa used to supervise Jiangbei and nominally commanded all the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty, he did not stay in Gaojie's military camp. But in the Qin army, he was placed under house arrest as a prisoner, and later sat in Yangzhou, presiding over the defense, so he simply closed his eyes, there was no cliff in front of him, and all the affairs in the army were entrusted to the staff to take risks, and he hid in the line and didn't ask anything.

Anyway, he doesn't know how to fight a war, and he doesn't know how to fight. It is good that everything is decided by the generals of each army, and it is good to win. If the city is broken, it is a big deal to die for the country, and the name of the martyrs will be fulfilled.

Therefore, in the past year of Jiangbei Governor, except for a few chief officers, ordinary soldiers really don't know who he Shi Kefa is.

In fact, in the past, Shi Kefa's understanding of war only stayed at the level of "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and acting. In his opinion, the so-called war is nothing more than two armies pulling together, and everyone is in a position to fight.

Since Sun Yuan relieved the siege of Yangzhou, Ruan Dacheng crossed the river and put him under house arrest, staying in Sun Yuan's military camp all day long, Shi Kefa began to really contact the military. The officers of the Ningxiang Army also like to discuss the way to lead troops on weekdays, and Shi Kefa only understood what was going on in the war after listening to it a lot.

In fact, war is a very boring thing, before a war, the troops need to be assembled, how long the troops have to go every day, and where to set up camp. How to find water, how to arrange the defense of the old battalion, how to transport grain, and how much is needed must be accurately calculated.

Usually, when it comes to fighting, the officers of the Ningxiang Army will take out a map, take out a pen to write and draw on paper, and those who are not strong in calculation can even go directly to the abacus. Is this still an officer, just Mr. Ledger!

To this day, since entering the old camp of the Qing army, Shi Kefa has been completely shocked: the war turned out to be so cruel and disgusting!

As far as he knew, Sun Yuan's soldiers were all composed of displaced people and border troops who fled south from the north, and to tell the truth, the fierceness of the northerners was really not comparable to that of the southerners. If one day, the Ningxiang Army adjusts its guns to the south, and the southern scholars who are accustomed to small bridges and flowing water, and are accustomed to exquisite life, how can they resist the steel torrent that is surging like a sea tide in Ningxiang?

Even if Sun Taichu was loyal to my Ming Dynasty, he did not show himself, but the spokesman of a huge interest group, and hundreds of thousands of people under his command relied on him for food.

As a political leader, Shi Kefa understands that as a leader, many times his will must be subordinated to the interests of the group and do unpleasant things.

At that time, Sun Yuan was afraid that there would be no way.

Ruan Dacheng is right, Sun Yuan can't be allowed to go on a northern expedition, and this is the same as Donglin, Ma and Ruan.

Thinking of this, Shi Kefa rubbed his hands, picked up the pen again, and wrote hard.

This is an excerpt written to the imperial court, the main content of which is to review the responsibility that should be borne in the battle of Yangzhou and defend itself. In the excerpt, Shi Kefa proposed that since the imperial court wanted to investigate his crimes in the battle of Yangzhou, the minister had nothing to say, so he begged to resign from the post of head assistant of the cabinet and return to the mountains and forests. In addition, the main force of the Eight Banners Army has been completely wiped out by the soldiers and horses of all towns in Jiangbei, and Jiannu has no available soldiers. The next day, the imperial court's northern expedition should be mainly to pacify the people in the occupied areas, so that they can feel the blessing of the Son of Heaven, and military means are only an auxiliary. Today, the remnants of the slave chieftain Azig have flowed to Jing and Xiang, and there are still remnants of Li Chuang in the Huguang area, and Zhang Xianzhong, the puppet Daxi, is still entrenched in Sichuan. The minister recommended Sun Yuan to lead the Ningxiang army to the west to quell the rebellion. As for the recovery of Yanyun, the imperial court can send another good general.

In Shi Kefa's view, in fact, the so-called self-defense is of no use at all. The imperial court held him accountable for Yangzhou's military mistakes but a pretext, and the real reason was himself, the political struggle between the Donglin Party and Ma Shiying and even the emperor.

After the dispute over the succession and the Nandu Second case, the Donglin Party in the DPRK and China has already been dealt a serious blow. Zhang Shenyan, Gao Hongtu and others have already gone into the wilderness, and as for the directors who used to control the six government affairs, the staff and the six departments, they have also been cleaned up.

Nowadays, the Donglin Party members in the DPRK and China also serve as low-level officials, or eat idle meals in some irrelevant departments. Only Shi Kefa was the first assistant in the cabinet and worked hard to support the situation.

Now it seems that the imperial court will no longer give Donglin a foothold, and it is time for him to leave.

In fact, the political struggle in the Ming Dynasty was relatively mild in general, unlike the Qing Dynasty, which rose to the level of destroying the family and destroying the body. Even in the era when Wei Zhongxian controlled the government and the eunuch party and Donglin were in full swing, there were not many people who really died in political struggles. Many times, after the Donglin Party members were arrested, they gave some money and let them go home. Grandma Donglin doesn't have any, and the really unlucky ones are usually the kind of petty civil servants who have no power and no money.

From this point of view, the court struggle of the Ming Dynasty was actually nothing more than a competition for survival between the elite and the elite.

According to the unspoken rules of Ming Dynasty politics, when a court member was impeached, it meant that the battle had been decided. According to the rules, the impeached person has to resign from the bones.

Once he resigned, neither political enemies nor the imperial court would pursue the mistakes of officials, and the Ming Dynasty was still very lenient to the scholar class.

Shi Kefa lost completely, and there was only one way to resign.

But before leaving the court, he must put the Jiangbei army, or Sun Yuanwei, who is not controlled by the imperial court, on the bright side, so that the world can be vigilant, which is also the last thing he can do to the Ming Dynasty. Although Donglin lost power, he still controlled the direction of public opinion, which should have a certain impact on the imperial court.

Now, Sun Yuan can no longer be allowed to go on a northern expedition. The main force of Jiannu, who was eliminated, single-handedly pulled the entire Ming Dynasty and the entire Han nation back from the edge of the cliff, and his prestige has reached its peak.

If he is allowed to recover Yanyun's lost ground, it will be an unrewarding achievement. On the day when the Ningxiang army entered Beijing, the Huangqiao Mutiny would inevitably be staged.

However, now Sun Yuan is just like the Japanese side, and the Ningxiang army and the Qin army are in Yangzhou. If he wants to go north, who can stop him?

Moreover, even if other troops are transferred to fight Beijing, I am afraid that Sun Yuan will not let him go.

Then, the only way is to transfer the Ningxiang army away, transfer them to Huguang and Sichuan to fight the remnants of Jiannu and Li Zicheng, and to fight Zhang Xianzhong. / Of course, with the combat effectiveness of the Ningxiang Army, it is not a problem to destroy these three groups of enemies, and it is simply impossible to let this army be consumed on the battlefield. But once the war starts, who knows that it will drag on for several years, ten years. After the imperial court restored the north and gathered the hearts of the people, even if the Ningxiang army had two hearts, it could not turn over the waves, which was the general trend. What is the general trend, people's hearts are the general trend. What is the hearts of the people, the hearts of the people are like water, as long as the time is long enough, the hearts of the people that have been lost in the Ming Dynasty will slowly come back.

Yes, Sun Yuan's generals had discussed that if they used troops against Li Zicheng's remnants and Zhang Xianzhong in the future, it should not be difficult to recover the lost territory. However, it will take a long time to completely and cleanly destroy the enemy, and civil war is never an easy task, and this battle will inevitably be fought for a long time.

That's right, let the Ningxiang army go to the west. Let them leave the Central Plains, the heart of the southeast.

"Northern Expedition, Northern Expedition!" Suddenly, thousands of people outside were yelling. This was followed by a dense burst of gunfire. ‘

Shi Kefa, who was writing excerpts, trembled, and the brush fell to the paper, leaving a large black dot.

His heart trembled, and he immediately knew that it was the soldiers of the Ningxiang Army shouting.

They wanted the Northern Expedition.

Old man, and Ma Shiying, can you stop them?
