The most powerful patriarch in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 217 Lu Changle's Ambition
Chapter 215

This is a duel between cold weapons and hot weapons,
This is a contest between the aggressor and the defender,
This is a major misjudgment by careerists who know themselves and do not know the enemy.

Zuo Liangyu, who had both sides in the officialdom and repeatedly saved himself from danger on the battlefield,

Abandoned by the times like this,

Overtaken by the cavalry of the garrison army,
One shot to the back of the head,

Ning Nanbo, the former commander-in-chief who has been on the battlefield for decades and has been controversial,

Just fell down on this strange and unfriendly land to him.

When Zuo Liangyu died, all the remaining soldiers knelt down and begged for mercy.
Lu Changsheng ordered to stop the killing, to accept surrendered troops,

This hard work camp is doing well, many people will be promoted,

Someone needs to fill the vacant position,
Now is the time to employ people,

Of course, the rules of the Township Protection Army cannot be abolished.

Those with bad deeds and blood on their hands cannot be let go.

Killing one as an example is very useful,

Kill a group, recruit a group, and send the rest to a hard labor camp.

Statistics afterwards,

The three fronts took more than 5000 prisoners,

Among them, the most prisoners were taken in the middle road,
Jiangxi borders Fujian,
They know each other very well, and some are related,

Those Jiangxi soldiers saw that they could not win, so they called for surrender,
In some battalions, all voted without even pulling the bowstring.

After mobilizing for more than half a month, we only fought for three days in the end.

The defense of Fujian has come to a successful end.

After Yang Zhengbao ordered to clear the battlefield,

The actions of the Township Protection Army did not stop.

With one order, Yang Zhengbao and Lu Jinqing,
Each led 1 horses and marched towards Jiangxi, which was empty of defense.

Liu Ruolan led the [-] Fujian navy and went straight to Ningbo.

After preparing to capture Ningbo, contain the forces of the Ming Dynasty from the waterway,
Finally, cooperate with the land route to attack Nanjing together.
Fujian's defensive counterattack was in full swing.
At this time, Lu Changle, who was sitting far away in the capital, was not idle either.

Command the armies to go on,

Dorgon, Zu Zerun and Wu Sangui led their troops,

Without giving Li Zicheng a chance to breathe,
Constantly chasing and killing, encircling and suppressing,
While chasing and killing, while gathering forces along the way,
Also through the intelligence team, publicized Li Zicheng's actions in the capital,
Especially the matter of recovering stolen goods and paying wages,
Nearly 2000 royal family members, officials, and wealthy households were killed by torture in the capital.
Among them were hundreds of innocent girls and women,
The gentry were the wealthiest and most influential class in the Ming Dynasty.

Liu Zongmin's pursuit of stolen goods and subsidy, money and power are all crimes,

Completely offended this class,

Under the hype of the intelligence group,

Li Zicheng was targeted everywhere,

Not only has no chance to grow, but is often attacked by armed forces organized by the gentry,
As a result, the team became less and less, retreating all the way,

From defeat in Xi'an to retreat to Xiangyang, and then to Wuchang,
Originally wanted to cross the south of the Yangtze River, but at this time Shi Kefa, who supported the King of Fu Zhu Yousong, gathered a large number of forces of the Ming Dynasty,

In order to avenge Chongzhen,
Intercepting all the way, constantly attacking Li Zicheng's troops,

There is no retreat ahead, there are pursuers behind,

Li Zicheng didn't dare to fight, so he could only flee all the way.

From Wuchang to Puqi, then to Chongyang and Tongcheng,

Seeing soldiers chasing everywhere, I put my mind to one side,
Following Liu Zongmin's suggestion, he fled in the direction of Jiugong Mountain.

Go into the mountains, recuperate in the mountains, and then look for opportunities to break through.

Beijing, Li Dongyang's old house,

Lu Changle received the latest information,
When the intelligence said that Li Zicheng had fled to Tongcheng and might flee into the nearby Jiugong Mountain,
A moment of astonishment,

History can't be such a coincidence, can it?
You know, Li Zicheng died in Jiugong Mountain.

This is somewhere in the dark, your own arrangement?

Lu Changle can't control that much,

I casually opened the two letters from Nanjing,
Open it up and have fun.

One is a letter written by Shi Kefa, Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing,
The paper is full of words of loyalty to the emperor, patriotism and immortality,
I hope Lu Changle can fulfill his duty as a courtier,
Recognize Fu Wang Zhu Yousong as the new emperor,

The letter stated that he would like to recommend Lu Changle as the chief assistant of the cabinet.
Under one person, over ten thousand people;

The other is a letter written by Zhu Yousong, King of Fu,
No, it should be Zhu Yousong who just completed his ascension to the throne and called himself Emperor Hongguang,
As long as Lu Changle surrenders,
Seal the town of Nanwang, with Fujian, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi provinces as fiefs,
Hereditary, never replace, enjoy glory and wealth forever.

Kings with different surnames are all sealed,

Shi Kefa has paid a lot of money,
After reading it, Lu Changle casually threw them aside,
It's all this time, still whimsical,

Chongzhen would not save himself, let alone the absurd and incompetent Zhu Yousong.

After Zhu Chongba conquered the world,

For the happiness of Lao Zhu's descendants, it can be said that he has spent a lot of painstaking efforts.

Divide the children and grandchildren into feudal domains in various places,

Originally thinking that the capital was in trouble, the four feudal lords all contributed their efforts,
To protect the old Zhu's family forever,
The idea is good, but unfortunately things backfired,
Let the rich clothes and jade food be used up,

One generation is not as good as one generation,
Zhu Yousong was never learned or skilled since he was a child, and he was idle.
According to intelligence, he started to draft drafts as soon as he took the throne,

As a result, the people married their daughters overnight,

Some don't even want a bride price,

Afraid of being taken into the palace by him,

Zhu Yousong also sent people to catch toads and refine aphrodisiacs.
The eunuchs even forced the people to capture and make offerings under the pretext of "catching toads by order",

For a time, he was called the "Toad Emperor",
Everyone else is under their noses, still thinking about how to eat, drink and have fun,

people like this,

Lu Changle didn't expect anything from him.

After throwing away the letter, the following two pieces of latest information shocked Lu Changle,
Yang Qijun and Lu Changwei seem to have made an appointment,
About the same time the good news came back,
All the dissatisfied forces in Jianzhou and Mongolia will be subdued,

The king of Joseon, Renzu Li Cong also bowed his head and proclaimed himself a minister.

The missions that came to confess their sins and pay tribute are already on their way,

Yang Qijun, Azige and Zu Zehong were ordered to set off on May [-]th.

Wipe out the remnants of Jianzhou and Mongolia,

On the same day, Lu Changwei, Dai Shan, and Zu Zefa led troops to North Korea to question their crimes.
Today is August [-]th,

Calculate the time, exactly three months,

Not too fast, not too slow.

There is a basis for building the Eight Banners, and this time Azig and Daishan led the soldiers and horses of the banner to go out.

Naturally, the result is twice the result,
Yang Qijun had been ordered a long time ago, and after pacifying Jianzhou and Mongolia's disobedient forces,

Go directly south, passing through Shaanxi to Sichuan,

Annihilate Zhang Xianzhong who hid in Sichuan.

While chasing and killing Li Zicheng, Lu Changle never forgot about this cruel and easy-to-kill guy.

Yang Qijun's soldiers and horses can act as planned,
As for Lu Changwei and Dai Shan,
Lu Changle just thought for a while, and quickly wrote an urgent order to Liu Ruolan and Lu Changwei,

Lu Changwei assembled in Incheon, escorted by the Korean Navy,
Liu Ruolan changed from going to Nanjing to pick up Lu Changwei's department.

The two teams joined together and attacked Nanjing by water,
After Chongzhen's death,

Nanjing has become a sacred place in the hearts of the forces of the Ming Dynasty.
Nanming was also established,

What Lu Changle has to do now is to smash the illusion of the forces of the Ming Dynasty,

The Rural Protection Army marched from south to north,
The expeditionary force advances from the north to the army,
After the Fujian navy took a detour to meet Lu Changwei's troops,
Attack Nanjing in the east directly from the waterway,

For a moment, Lu Changle's ambition was fully exposed.

If you have strength, what are you afraid of?

Some are happy and some are sad,
The military is progressing smoothly, Lu Changle and the people around him,
One by one high-spirited and full of ambition,
Li Dingguo, who was thousands of miles away, had a gloomy expression on his face.
