Chapter 44: Enemy on Two Sides, Civil War or Foreign War?
In the previous chapter, it was said that Boss Han was holding Guan Xiang and missing his hometown.
Zhang Biwu didn't understand it very much, and asked, "Master, I don't understand why you can't go back to your hometown by yourself?" "Boss Han looks very painful, he has something unspeakable! He could only sigh for a long time. "I can't leave Shaanxi! No, I can't! ”
What secrets does he hide? Will it be so painful? And can't leave Shaanxi?
Boss Han obviously didn't want to say anything more, so he stood up and said, "Okay! Biwu, keep training! See if you can defeat the cavalry! To fight against the Qing army, this combat ability, you must be trained well, and you must practice well! ”
"Good!" Zhang Biwu answered, and stood on the playground again. On the other side, Huang Qi was riding a war horse, and Han Boss and Deng Jiang were standing outside the field, and they all wanted to see if Zhang Biwu could get into the belly of the horse and cut off the horse's feet this time.
Huang Qi turned to Zhang Biwu and asked, "Biwu, are you ready?" Zhang Biwu nodded his head and shouted: "Huang Qi, I'm ready!" Just let the horses come! "Good!" Huang Qi shouted, drove his horse, and rushed towards Zhang Biwu.
Zhang Biwu was really calm, all he saw in his eyes was the image of the war horse moving towards him, and he was close! Seeing that the war horse is about to collide with Zhang Biwu!
"Biwu!" Huang Qi is nervous, will it be the same as last time, Zhang Biwu was hit? I was lucky last time, Zhang Biwu was only slightly injured, and if he suffers again this time, I don't dare to guarantee that he will be lucky, maybe he will lose his life! So Huang Qi raised his heart to his throat.
Shibei three days should be impressive! Zhang Biwu is no longer the Zhang Biwu who was injured last time! With a "whoosh", Zhang Biwu got under the horse's belly, and his wooden knife hit the horse's foot accurately.
"It worked!" Boss Han smiled, he was very satisfied with this apprentice, and the apprentice did not disappoint him.
"Hah! Awesome! It didn't take long for him to practice! Terrible! Mr. Deng did not hide his praise, "What a famous teacher and a high apprentice!" ”
The herald hurriedly reported: "Report! Trilateral Governor's Order, Mongol Invasion! The Mongolian ministries are ready to move! Moreover, the thieves of Li Zicheng's department, who had left Mizhixi, suddenly appeared all over my Yulin Town again! Strictly prevent thieves from returning to the area of Mizhi and Suide! ”
Because Li Zicheng captured Yu Chongxiao, the chief soldier of Yansui, alive in May of the ninth year of Chongzhen, Li Cheng, the deputy chief soldier, was beheaded, and annihilated 3,000 officers and soldiers, and was ambushed by He Renlong when attacking Mizhi and was defeated. In another flood, the rebels suffered countless casualties, and only a few hundred horsemen escaped from danger.
Gao Yigong led more than 10,000 people from Guyuan to join Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng thus regained momentum, united with the rebel army in northern Shaanxi to conquer Yanchuan, Suide, Mizhi, because the rebel army is Mizhi people, so the local people defected to Li Zicheng as if returning home, defecting to relatives.
Therefore, as the governor of the three sides, Hong Chengchou was afraid that Li Zicheng's troops, who had already gone west to Ningxia and Gansu to operate, would return to northern Shaanxi, and at that time their momentum would resurge, which was not a good thing. Hong Chengchou issued this order for the above reasons.
There is an order from above, how dare they not listen? However, the Mongol tribes were ambushed by the Manchus, and for this reason, the Manchus had a very broad source of troops, and they had more options for invading the Ming Dynasty, so that the Ming Dynasty was ambushed everywhere.
Now in order to obey the Manchu masters, it is logical for Monan Mongolia to invade the Ming Dynasty.
Deng General was given the order, and he was silent. The herald then said: "General Deng and Master Cai Qian said that since our guard post is facing the thief army, the Mongols don't need to worry about you, and others will be in charge of the border!" Therefore, for the thief army, Deng Jiang must always rise up and exterminate it! Not only the commander-in-chief, but even the trilateral governors are also very important! The commander-in-chief will increase his troops! This is also to avenge the former chief soldier Yu Chongxiao and the deputy chief soldier Li Cheng! ”
General Deng said that he had a clear order, and the herald went back to report to Mr. Cai Qian.
General Deng sighed, not only him, but the soldiers also looked very excited, and they said, "Do you want us to fight against Li Zicheng's rebel army?" Didn't you say that the Mongols were going to invade? Many of Li Zicheng's rebels are from Yulin! We have a friendship with our fellow villagers! Moreover, Yu Chongxiao, the former chief soldier, and Li Cheng, the deputy chief soldier, don't understand anything except deducting military salaries! It's not a pity that such a moth died! ”
Yu Chongxiao, the chief soldier, and Li Cheng, the deputy chief soldier, are straw bales, except for deducting military salaries and raising private soldiers, their reputation in the army is not high, so the soldiers in Yulin Town are not happy to use them. Therefore, in the battle against the rebel army formed by Li Zicheng in northern Shaanxi, the soldiers had no fighting spirit and led to a big defeat, and most of the private soldiers raised by Yu Chongxiao and Li Cheng tended to be inflammatory.
Hearing someone speak first, other soldiers also spoke: "There are still my relatives in the rebels!" Others chimed in: "Yes! I don't want to fight with my relatives! ”
Among the soldiers, not only are people from Yulin's side, but some of them are also soldiers who are delaying this side! Otherwise, they would be related to the Mizhi people in Li Zicheng's rebel army, and now their homeland is threatened by Mongolia, of course they are willing to turn their guns and unite with the outside world, and do not want to kill each other.
And it is necessary to resist the Mongols and fight against the rebels, so that the troops of Yulin Town will be stretched, although Hong Chengchou will increase his troops, but the situation is not optimistic.
Deng Jiang always went to find Boss Han, and it seems that only Boss Han can come up with an idea in this situation.
At this time, Boss Han had been surrounded by three layers of soldiers, and the soldiers were waiting for Boss Han to speak.
Boss Han said categorically: "We can't go to war with the rebels!" We can only fight Mongolia! If the Mongols had not been scared and hurt, the Mongols would have invaded again and again under the orders and instigation of the Manchus, and then there would have been no peaceful day for our fathers and fellow villagers! Mongolia must be hit! Hurt him, beat him and be afraid of him! ”
Boss Han's words are above everyone's hearts! The soldiers were cheering. However, some people have questions, how can the Ming army have limited strength, how can it fight against the rebels on the one hand, and the Mongols on the other? And if the Ming army doesn't fight the righteous army, then it can't explain to Lu Shangtou, and of course there is no guarantee that the righteous army won't fight the Ming army?
Deng always raised his question and wanted Boss Han to give him an idea, but Boss Han didn't answer, but turned to Zhang Biwu and asked, "Biwu, what do you think should be done?" "Boss Han's move is to test Zhang Biwu, how will Zhang Biwu answer Boss Han?
