Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 221

Hao Guangming remembered this period of history very clearly. He heard the words: "In history, Tongguan was lost on the 21th day of the first month. Today is the [-]st day of the first month. Xi'an must have been occupied by the Qing army."

Aunt Zhu frowned slightly, and said, "In that case, Lu Daqi should have taken some action, right? I don't know if he persuaded He Zhen, Bai Guangen and others to surrender as planned."

Lu Daqi went to Baoning Mansion to serve as the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu in early December, even if he went with a battalion supervisor, he could arrive in ten days.

Based on this calculation, Lu Daqi should be more than a month old.

When Lu Daqi was confirmed to be the governor of Shaanxi-Gansu, Zhu Wei discussed with Li Yan, Hong Niangzi, Ma Ke and others what they should do in Shaanxi-Gansu.

The most important thing is to contact He Zhen, Bai Guangen and other former Ming Dynasty generals.

Some of these people surrendered to Li Zicheng between the 13th and 17th years of Chongzhen, and some surrendered to Li Zicheng after the city of Beijing was broken and Chongzhen was martyred.

Although Zhu Yu didn't like those famous generals who had surrendered to Li Zicheng earlier, after listening to Hao Guangming's persuasion, she decided to let Lu Daqi try to persuade these people to return anyway.

In order to unite all anti-Qing forces in Shaanxi and Gansu, and drive the Qing army out of Shaanxi as soon as possible, and even out of Shanxi.

Among these generals, He Zhen is the most famous in later history.

He was originally the same as Zhao Ronggui, and he was also the standard battalion general of Fan Yiheng when he was preparing for the army in Shaanxi.

As for the time when he surrendered to Li Zicheng, it should be after Li Zicheng broke through Luoyang and killed King Fu, which shocked the world.

Because from then on, the strength of the Chuang army began to overwhelm the Ming army, and they continued to defeat the Ming army on the frontal battlefield, and the momentum was very good.

After that, more and more generals, literati and even officials surrendered to Li Zicheng, and even the entire government surrendered.

Therefore, He Zhen has the greatest possibility of surrendering to Li Zicheng during this period.

Historically, Ma Ke first led the army to attack Sichuan, defeated Ai Nengqi, Liu Wenxiu and others successively, and was defeated by the army led by Zhang Xianzhong, and retreated to Hanzhong.

Then the Chuang army took He Zhen as the main general and led the army to attack Sichuan and Shu again. This time, they fought back and forth with the Daxi army, winning and losing each other.

Later, when Li Zicheng lost Shaanxi, a group of former Ming generals changed their flags and surrendered to the Qing army when they saw the situation was not good. He Zhen, together with Luo Dai, Dang Mengan, Guo Tengxian and others, changed their flags and presented them to the Qing army. From the land of Hanzhong, the Qing army was surrendered.

Not only that, but He Zhen blocked the West Route Shun Army led by Li Guo and Gao Yigong who wanted to go south from Hanzhong to Sichuan.

It's just that they didn't do their best. In the end, they let the Xilu Shunjun enter Kuizhou, Sichuan from Lizhi Road in Xing'an Prefecture, and then went to Huguang.

Afterwards, a large number of generals who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, including He Zhen, listened to Meng Qiaofang, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu appointed by the Qing Dynasty.

However, in December 1645, when anti-Qing activities in various parts of the country were on the rise due to "shaved heads and easy to obey orders", He Zhen raised the banner of righteousness to fight against the Qing Dynasty, and appointed herself "Fengtian Advocate General", wanting to inherit Li Zicheng's reputation, military legacy.

Later, although the cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty became more and more difficult, he did not surrender to the Qing Dynasty again, but insisted on resisting the Qing Dynasty, and finally became one of the thirteen families of Kuidong.

Until 1662, he died of illness in Daning, the anti-Qing base area.

In this time and space, after Li Zicheng learned that Ma Ke and Li Yutian's troops who had previously attacked Sichuan and Shu had surrendered to Aunt Zhu, he sent He Zhen to lead the army to defend Hanzhong and try to invade Sichuan and Shu.

From this, it can be seen that He Zhen is more trusted by Li Zicheng than Ma Ke and others.

However, judging from Li Zicheng’s historical order to let He Zhen stay in Hanzhong to resist the Qing army, although He Zhen is trusted by Li Zicheng, he has not yet entered the core of the army. If he is, Li Zicheng will definitely let him go south to Huguang and Jiangnan. .

Considering that He Zhen was born as a general of Fan Yiheng's standard battalion, Zhu Wei, Hao Guangming and others all felt that there was a lot of hope for persuading He Zhen to surrender.

If Lu Daqi can persuade He Zhen to surrender as planned, Hanzhong will be at your fingertips.

Then contact Bai Guangen, Wu Dading, Sun Shoufa and other famous generals, and they can quickly occupy most of the counties and guards in western Shaanxi and Gansu.

Coupled with the stable supply of materials in the rear of Sichuan, it is not so difficult to deal with the Qing army.

It can be said that persuading He Zhen to surrender is the key to the smooth implementation of this plan, and Aimee Zhu is naturally very concerned.

Hao Guangming said: "Don't worry too much, whether it is successful or not, I believe that Lu Daqi will send the news within a few days."

"Ah."

Auntie Zhu nodded, and snuggled closer in Hao Guangming's arms.

After a while of silence, she said again: "I'm going to Nanzhili in a few days."

Hao Guangming smiled and said, "Go, anyway, no matter where you are, you can come back to me."

"I'm mainly worried that after I leave, whether the videos and Aimee alone won't be able to control Sichuan."

"How is it possible?" Hao Guangming squeezed Aimee Zhu's hand even tighter, "At that time, I will act as the relay operator for you two sisters.

In this way, even if you are on the boat to Nanzhili and do not go back to the Zhulin Old House, you can still keep abreast of the situation in Sichuan through video calls with me.

What's more, there are not only Long Wenguang, Liu Zhibo and other old officials of the Ming Dynasty in Chengdu, but also Li Yan, Hong Niangzi, Ma Ke and other confidantes you personally tamed, so it is impossible for anything to happen. "

Hearing this, Auntie Zhu felt a little relieved, she nodded and fell asleep again just snuggling up against Hao Guangming.

···
After two o'clock in the afternoon, Auntie Zhu returned to Chengyun Hall, and saw Fei Zhen'e anxiously standing beside the throne waiting.

Seeing Aimee Zhu, Fei Zhen'e immediately said, "Your Highness, there is a military report from Baoning Mansion."

In fact, without Fei Zhen'e's telling, Auntie Zhu saw the military report with a different cover color on the case.

She immediately picked it up and looked at it.

The military report was written by Lu Daqi, and it mainly talked about persuading He Zhen to surrender.

Just as Aimee Zhu, Hao Guangming and others speculated before, after He Zhen had been attacking Qipanguan for a long time and could not go down the northern Sichuan pass, she received a letter from Fan Yiheng and a letter from Lu Daqi and others urging her to surrender. After careful consideration, she finally decided to return to Ming Dynasty anyway.

However, I don't know whether Li Zicheng was on guard against him, or He Zhen's plan was not secret.

Before he was preparing to take the Sichuan army into Nanzheng, the prefectural city of Hanzhong, the news leaked out.

Therefore, He Zhen had no choice but to hastily rise up and fought with those Shun troops who were still at the end of Li Zicheng. In the end, he only led thousands of soldiers and horses to join the Sichuan army led by Lu Daqi and Li Ren.

In the end, the Sichuan army only occupied a few counties in the west and south, which was far from the plan to occupy the entire Hanzhong in one fell swoop.

Therefore, Lu Daqi is still pleading guilty in this military report.

But Auntie Zhu is very clear that what happened in this military report happened seven or eight days ago.

As for the current situation in Hanzhong and even other places in Shaanxi and Gansu, she might not know until seven or eight days later.

Putting away the military report, Zhu Wei couldn't help sighing, and thought to herself: It would be great if I could use the radio station in Daming.

Maybe, let Hao Guangming try it later, and get some parts to Daming to assemble a few simple radio stations?
