The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 746 Unfaithful and unrighteous, should be killed

Not long after Li Zicheng entered the city, Zhu Chunchen handed over the crown prince Zhu Cihong who was hiding in his home. Li Zicheng told Zhu Cihong that he was innocent, and Zhu Cihong asked Li Zicheng to "don't surprise the tomb of my ancestors", "quickly bury my father and queen mother" and "don't kill My people", and pointed out that the officials who are now surrendering are "disloyal and unrighteous, and should be killed."

The prince's last words made the officials who surrendered at the scene, including Zhu Chunchen, tremble with fear.

Fortunately, Li Zicheng smiled and didn't do that. He first named him King of Song and asked someone to take care of him first.

Then he was almost the same as in history, a little carried away, and did several wrong things one after another.

One is to connive Liu Zongmin to carry out the "Bixiang Zhenfusi", which is called "pursuing stolen goods and subsidizing payment", but in fact it is asking for money from dignitaries.As long as someone refuses to give money, he will be subjected to extremely cruel torture, which is recorded in historical books:

"All trees have edges, and they are connected with nails, so that every person who is pinched will have their bones shattered."

With this method, Liu Zongmin forced out a total of 460 taels of silver, which can be described as piled up like a mountain.

Then Liu Zongmin robbed Wu Sangui's woman Chen Yuanyuan, beat Wu Sangui's father Wu Xiang, and ransacked Wu Xiang's home.

At this time, Li Zicheng sent Tang Tong to lead [-] troops to recruit Wu Sangui.

At this time, Wu Sangui brought more than 1 soldiers and horses to Yongping.

Tang Tong came a step slower than Wu Sangui's servant. Before Tang Tong arrived, Wu Sangui's servant had already run back from the capital ahead of time and told Wu Sangui everything that happened in the capital.

This completely enraged Wu Sangui.

At this meeting in history, Wu Sangui sent troops without saying a word, first defeated Tang Tong, and then returned to Shanhaiguan.

But this time, Wu Sangui and his subordinates were discussing what to do next.

Because his subordinates, Fu Wenyuan and Fu Tiande, had just returned from Xu Fuzuo's place.

Several people caught up with Xu Fuzuo's main force, and they were extremely shocked at the time.

Xu Fuzuo has more than 1 troops, all of whom wear iron armor, and all of them are tall war horses, and many of them even ride on two horses.

The whole army has a strict appearance, bright armor and high morale.

After Fu Wenyuan came back, he said to Wu Sangui: "Compared to our peak Liaodong iron cavalry, it is seven points more fierce."

Many Liaodong warriors at the scene were dissatisfied.

You must know that in Wu Sangui's army at this time, there are many barbarians, that is, Mongolians, who are Mongolian elites who have followed their ancestral Wu family for more than ten years.

People like Ba Keyong, Keshitu, Meng Ketu, Xuelichu, Jinqianluo, Wubatan, etc., have followed them for more than ten years.

All of them are riding and shooting double shots, and they are also the main force of the Liaodong iron cavalry at this time. Even compared with the Qing soldiers, they are not too much.

Now Fu Wenyuan said that compared with the Liaodong cavalry at their peak, they were seven points more elite, which naturally aroused their dissatisfaction.

Everyone knows that the Liaodong iron cavalry at this meeting has suffered heavy losses after many battles with the Manchus, and they are no longer at their peak.

What's more, he is seven points more elite than his peak period.

For example, Ba Keyong, the general of Zhenbiao Zhongying, participated in the Battle of Songjin, and was in the same battalion with Xu Fuzuo and other soldiers at that time. How many years have passed?He obviously didn't believe it.

"If Xu Fuzuo's soldiers and horses didn't rely on carts, guns, and artillery, they would not be our opponents in field battles." Ba Keyong said dissatisfied.

"That is, in the Battle of Songjin, Xu's soldiers and horses retreated layer by layer with carts, and the Qing soldiers were busy chasing us, so they let them run while fighting." Ba Keyong's subordinates Chen Zhifu, Li De The names all opened their mouths.

During the Songjin War, the Qing soldiers chased and killed other Ming troops everywhere. After seeing Xu Fuzuo, they slowly concentrated their troops and horses to fight Xu Fuzuo. Soldiers are also more difficult to fight, and you can only watch them retreat while fighting, leaving the battlefield.

From the perspective of other Ming troops, it was because the Qing soldiers wanted to beat them that Xu Fuzuo was let go.

Fu Wenyuan and others also participated in the Battle of Songjin. He pondered for a while: "It may not be as good as it was back then, but now Xu Fu's soldiers and horses are all elite, and everyone wears iron armor. It is really fierce."

Fu Wenyuan can only say fierce.

His eyes were full of envy.

Liaodong iron cavalry is known as iron cavalry, but until now, everyone has not been able to wear iron armor.

It's not bad for an ordinary sergeant to have a piece of mail armor.

Even if it is the Qing soldiers, it is impossible for everyone to wear iron armor now.

This is a comprehensive test of steel production, the number of craftsmen, and the ability of workers.

Wu Sangui listened to everyone's discussion, and said slowly: "Your Majesty is already dead, and before he died, he made Ding Yi king and married the princess."

"Xu Fuzou said that he belongs to Ding Yi?"

Fu Wenyuan nodded: "Not only he is, but also Shen Shikui, the general soldier in Tianjin. He told us personally that their entire army will go to Tianjin to gather with Shen Shikui and follow Ding Yi's orders before acting."

"Damn it, how many soldiers does Ding Yi have?" someone called out.

"Wang Weizhong, the commander-in-chief of Shandong, is also counted among his people. He himself served as the commander-in-chief in Datong, and Lushun and Pidao, where he started, both have soldiers."

"This guy's soldiers and horses add up to [-]?"

Hiss, everyone in the audience gasped.

Wu Sangui's mind was spinning crazily, and it was already the time when their Wu family was going to die.

Daming is about to perish and Li Zicheng is rising, but he knows that Ding Yi is not a good guy either.

During the Pingkong Youde Rebellion back then, Ding Yi admired Ding Yi's ability to fight. Within two hours, if he said he would take down Dengzhou, he would take down Dengzhou, but this is still a trivial matter.

Other Ming troops in the Ming Dynasty did not understand Ding Yi's abilities, but Wu Sangui had a deep understanding.

Ding Yi was on the front line of Lushun. For more than ten years, he suppressed the Qing soldiers for a long time. In recent years, the Qing soldiers dare not take the initiative to attack, which shows how strong Ding Yi is.

Wu Sangui and their so-called Liaodong iron cavalry were defeated once and for all by the Qing soldiers, and only Ding Yi won repeatedly.

This day is really about to change.

If it is said that Liu Zongmin of the capital did not do so many things, Wu Sangui still has to consider whether it is Li Zichengqiang or Ding Yiqiang.

But now, he doesn't need to think about it anymore.

"I've made up my mind." Wu Sangui said impressively, "First break Tangtong's troops, and then return to Shanhaiguan."

All the generals nodded, this is the best way at the moment.

"Ding Yi will definitely fight Li Zicheng, let's see who is better." Wu Sangui smiled, and immediately ordered the whole army to set off, and fight Tang Tong first.

Poor Tang Tong, just like in the original history, came to surrender wholeheartedly, let alone Wu Sangui would beat him.

Wu Sangui's whole army charged at once, but Tang Tong didn't make it in time for the whole team. They were defeated in an instant, and fled with only a few hundred families, eight thousand soldiers and horses were surrendered by Wu Sangui.

Tang Tong's soldiers and horses are basically Liaodong soldiers. They all knew Wu Sangui and the others, and they surrendered faster than ghosts.

He immediately ordered the whole army to return to the camp and go directly to Shanhaiguan.

On the Shanhaiguan side, there are still 3 soldiers and horses from the Shanhaiguan General Soldier Gaodi, and there are more than [-] hoarded soldiers.

Historically, Gaodi's 4 soldiers plus Wu Sangui's current soldiers are the ones who fought Li Zicheng in the final decisive battle.

While Wu Sangui led the entire army to retreat to Shanhaiguan, he asked Fu Wenyuan to lead people to Tianjin to interview Xu Fuzou again to find out Ding Yi's intentions and test Ding Yi's intentions.

Because when Fu Wenyuan went, the capital had not yet fallen, and Chongzhen had not died yet.

At this time, the generals of Yiding expressed their dissatisfaction, and Ba Keyong, Keshitu, and Meng Ketu declared that they would follow Fu Wenyuan to see the so-called Daming soldiers who were seven points more fierce than the peak Liaodong.

Fu Wenyuan laughed loudly, and led them to go together, riding with one person and two riders.

It is about 200 miles from Yongping to Tianjin.

They went this time with a large number of people, and they brought some armored cavalry. There were 300 people and [-] horses. They ran with great momentum, showing off Wu Sangui's military might.

On April [-], Fu Wenyuan and Ba Keyong entered Tianjin.

They were walking along the coast, and that day they happened to be near the mouth of Beitang, and the mouth of Dagu was just ahead.

But when everyone passed by Beitangkou, hundreds of elite riders came to face them.

There are still many Buying standing on both sides of the intersection ahead.

"It's you again?" The Ming army on the opposite side was He Taiping's subordinate, who had met Fu Wenyuan before.

Fu Wenyuan hurriedly said: "Brother, we are under the order of President Wu to see President Xu if we have something to do."

"Mr. Xu is still in Tianjin. You have so many soldiers and horses, be careful and don't cause trouble." The other party randomly took a black command flag and handed it to Fu Wenyuan: "Hold the flag and go, don't run around."

"Thank you, brother." Fu Wenyuan was overjoyed and took over the command flag.

Driving, more than 600 horses passed slowly.

At this time, the faces of Ba Keyong and others were not as proud as before, because Xu's soldiers and horses, whether they were war horses or armored armor, were indeed better and stronger than them. The key point was that each of them seemed to have a special temperament. Can't say it, but it looks elite.

But Ba Keyong was still thinking at this moment, maybe this is Xu's servant, not a soldier.

Just as their entire army passed through Beitangkou, suddenly, someone screamed: "Look."

The generals happened to be on a bridge at this time, and when they saw the sea ahead from a distance, they all gasped.

They saw countless big ships on the sea. They had never seen that kind of big ships before. They were double-decker big ships with two rows of cannons on board. The muzzles looked bigger than their Hongyi cannons.

As a Liaodong Iron Cavalry, this is the first time I have seen such a large warship.

Perhaps only the legendary Zheng He's treasure ship can be compared with it.

The key point is that there are so many cannons on it, it looks really scary. From their point of view, the cannons on this ship are more than the cannons in their entire Shanhaiguan.

And there is more than one such ship.

I saw a dozen of these huge warships lined up on the sea, and they were approaching the shore one by one.

Those who had already parked on the shore had a large number of cavalry on it, disembarking in groups.

It is simply overwhelming cavalry, densely packed, all in black armor, which is different from all other armies of Ming Dynasty.

At first glance, it was Ding Yi's soldiers and horses.

"Look at the flag." Finally, someone saw the flag on the soldiers and horses.

"Zhenbei"

Zhenbeiwang Banner.

The yellow flag was erected high, which was to inform the whole Great Tomorrow that this is the King of Zhenbei, Ding Yi's soldiers.

Ding Yi never raised the flag, but this time, all his soldiers and horses began to raise the flag.

He will tell the world that he is the North King of Daming Town.

Fu Wenyuan, Ba Keyong and others were stunned.

I saw continuous cavalry descending from the big ship in the distance.

Farther away, there was also a black mass of cavalry on board.

Farther away, there is a large black mass of warships. There are almost hundreds of ships on the sea, densely packed and endless.

"This, this is all the elite of Zhenbei Wang Lushun and Pidao." Some people stuttered.

They used to talk about Ding Yi one by one, but now, they don't even dare to call Ding Yi's name anymore.

"What are you looking at, let's go, don't get in the way." Ding Yibuying on the side of the road suddenly called out.

Everyone suddenly realized and looked back at Ding Yi's infantry.

Each of them is also full of iron armor, with sharp eyes, straight body like a sword, and a fierce and menacing aura.

"Let's go." Fu Wenyuan didn't dare to stop for a long time, and hurriedly patted his horse.

After everyone had passed Beitang, Tianjin was to the west, so they deliberately went southwest and walked along the coast.

The more I walked, the more frightened I became. The sea from Beitang to Dagukou was full of Ding Yi's boats, the number of which was countless.

There are two layers of guns on many big ships, and they can't believe it.

So many ships, so many cannons, so many horses, so many soldiers, where did Ding Yi conjure them up?
Fu Wenyuan's three views are about to collapse.

When I arrived at Dagukou, the port here was also unloading, and I saw a large number of auxiliary soldiers in mail armor unloading artillery and carts from the ship.

300 of them chose a high place and watched from afar.

I saw artillery and carts everywhere along the seashore, as well as a large number of mules.

Fu Wenyuan counted casually in his mind, but at least hundreds of artillery pieces were already on the shore, and they were still being unloaded from the big ship continuously.

"Their soldiers wearing chain armor seem to be hoarding soldiers, which are equivalent to our auxiliary soldiers." Fu Tiande said bravely to Buck in a low voice at this time.

The corner of Ba Keyong's mouth twitched, and he was speechless for a long time.

Suddenly, a Ming army in front ran up to the hoarders who were carrying things, took something like a whistle, and blew it violently.

"gather."

Whoosh, whoosh, those hoarding soldiers put down their work one after another, picked up their spears, swords and shields, and ran all the way, forming a group.

One of the teams has about a hundred soldiers, and they have all stood up in almost thirty breaths, forming a neat formation of twenty and five vertically.

Fu Wenyuan, Ba Keyong and the others were dumbfounded again.

The speed with which the opponent gathered troops was beyond words.

After the key lines were lined up, they were very neat, straight and straight like swords, and the distance between people was almost exactly the same.

At this time, they were far away and could not hear what the Ming army was saying.

But someone was clearly ordering ahead.

turn right.

Hush, more than 100 people turned right at the same time, blah blah.

Looking at the neat and uniform picture, listening to the earth-shattering sound of walking together, Fu Wenyuan and the others in the distance were shocked, and everyone's face was ashen.

"Run and walk."

Hush, huh, huh, the troop trotted all the way to another pier ahead.

A large ship with two thousand materials has just docked over there.

Everyone stared intently, only to see five or six huge decks falling down from the top of the ship, connecting to the pier.

Then, oh, someone rode a war horse and disembarked continuously from above.

The hoarding soldiers who had just arrived responded one after another.

Fu Wenyuan and the others looked at the warship, and they dismounted dozens of horses non-stop, each of which was so tall and powerful.

At this time, looking at the coast of Dagukou, there are continuous artillery, piles of supplies, and countless war horses all over the coast.

And teams of armored soldiers rushed down from the boat in dense numbers.

A Mongolian gasped, and said in a deep voice: "I think one hundred thousand soldiers and horses are less."

Everyone looked at each other.
