Anti Qing

Chapter 16

Li Zijing's heart trembled, he closed his eyes, and stepped forward.

"The younger brother is here."

Just after meeting Liu Zongmin's eyes, he was still calm and calm.

Li Zicheng nodded secretly, the more he looked at the third brother, the more satisfied he felt.

"Qinggou's guards are not easy to deal with. Ever since I confronted Qinggou in Dashun, there has never been a precedent for annihilating Qinggou's guards."

"Tell me, how did you do it?"

After the battle, everyone has broken armor and mottled blood. Hearing the words, they all stared at them with different expressions.

This was the second time he was stared at by everyone on this occasion. Li Zijing's heart trembled slightly, but his reaction was not as strong as before.

Taking a deep breath, his expression remained unchanged.

"General Zhi carried [-] Fierce Fire Unstoppable Cannons. This cannon is round and explodes when it hits the ground. It is combustible everywhere. It creates a lot of poisonous miasma. The enemy is powerless when they hear it."

"Our army threw unstoppable cannons into the gully, ignited vines and weeds, and burned the Qing soldiers down the ditch alive.

After a few words, the words were unremarkable, but the listeners were thrilled.

Five hundred guards may not sound like a lot of people, but everyone knows that the battle in the gully was not easy.

The guard barracks were the imperial guards formed after the Qing captives entered the customs. They were selected from the Ba Yala soldiers of the Eight Banners of Manchuria. They were surrounded by three layers of heavy armor. They were often the elite of the elite.

Every Manchurian guard is a heavy-handed executioner who has experienced hundreds of battles. In their eyes, human life is just a number. The number is small, but the combat effectiveness is extremely terrifying.

During the day yesterday, Li Zicheng led the [-] Shun army to line up outside the pass. It was because the right wing was pierced by the [-] Banner guards that he had to withdraw to the pass.

In today's battle, five hundred Manchurian guards rushed to the top of the slope on the east side, and they dispersed Li Zicheng's infantry battalion on the east side in one encounter.

Outflanking with the guards is Duoduo's forte.

The total annihilation of five hundred Manchurian guards, including a commander of the Qing clan's guards, is a rare and great victory.

For Duduo, although it is not hurting his muscles and bones, it is still very painful.

After the Eight Banners of Manchuria entered the customs, the manpower began to decrease sharply, so they had to start appointing generals from the Ming army and filling a large number of soldiers into the green battalion.

Manchuria's elite guards were lost every time they died. For the Qing Dynasty, which had just entered the customs, the period for training another batch of guards was too long.

Liu Fangliang's eyes gradually dimmed, and he blamed himself even more when he thought of those vivid faces that were still in front of him yesterday.

If it wasn't for his failure to listen to the advice, he wouldn't have been besieged by the Qing army.

Li Zicheng nodded slightly, very satisfied.

Victory in the battle, the third brother respected himself for the greatest contribution, but he was modest and prudent, and he put all the credit on Liu Fangliang in his words, and never boasted.

"The two of you have contributed a lot to leading the Qing army out of the camp in this battle, and General Quan led the fine cavalry to disperse the Qing dog army, which is even more important."

As he spoke, Li Zicheng thought of something, and his eyes gradually became serious.

"Qihou died in the battle of Wangdu and was hanged by the dog thief Wu Sangui. Sooner or later, I will kill this dog thief with my own hands and avenge Qihou."

"The former battalion became the rear of our army in the first battle in Wangdu. Its capital was severely damaged, the establishment was almost empty, and manpower was scarce."

Speaking of Wu Sangui, Li Zicheng can be said to hate him with gnashing teeth.

The reason why Dashun got to where he is now is inseparable from this dog thief. He was wrong at the beginning, and he overestimated Wu Sangui's lower limit.

A majestic man of seven feet is willing to be a pawn of the Qing captives and driven into slavery!

Unbearable to look back at the past events, Li Zicheng closed his eyes tightly, and when he opened them, they had become calm, without any fluctuations.

"I intend to rebuild the front battalion and appoint my brother as the general to take care of this matter. What do you brothers think?"

After the government of Xiangyang was established, Li Zicheng changed the governor's office of the five armies into the headquarters of the five armies, still set up the left and right governors, and changed the commander in chief to the general authority, the deputy general to the deputy general authority, the guard to the brigade, and the general to guard the flag.

However, due to the defeat of the Shanhaiguan Army and the retreat all the way, the official titles of the Dashun Army in various places have not been unified in the future.

Compared with the messy official system, the military system of the Fifth Field Battalion and the local army is relatively mature.

The five field battalions are divided into front, rear, left, right, and center, with different flags and flags. Generals Liu Zongmin and Tian Jianxiu are in charge of the military affairs of the five battalions.

The so-called Zhijun refers to the direct commander of the fifth field battalion under the Quan general, who is in charge of the military affairs of the first battalion.

Although Liu Fangliang has been a pioneer many times, he is a general of the left battalion in his official position.

Not only did the others look shocked, but even Li Zijing himself didn't expect that he would be directly promoted to the position of the chief general of the first battalion.

Although Li Zijing of the later generations said that he had studied the history of the Ming Dynasty and had some understanding of the military establishment of this era, he never cared about people.

From childhood to adulthood, what Li Zijing is best at is being controlled by others.

When I was young, I was supervised by my parents, when I went to school, I was supervised by my teacher, and when I grew up, I was supervised by my boss when I was a part-time job. What I am good at is where to play, rather than planning the direction by myself.

I have been the biggest official, that is, a high school monitor.

At that time, there were about [-] students in a class, and they were all children. The main thing was to convey the order of the head teacher to the class, which was not difficult.

But this time the former battalion generals were different, he was the chief general of one of the fifth Dashun Field Battalion, no matter how dilapidated the front battalion was, it was also the formation of a main battalion.

This is not like managing thirty or so half-grown children like in high school. This is a huge army that ranges from thousands to tens of thousands.

Daily camp affairs such as training, marching, recruitment, appointment and removal, and wartime military affairs such as dividing troops and dispatching troops to coordinate the overall situation, Li Zijing was completely blind to these matters.

He was suddenly promoted to the position of the commander-in-chief of the first battalion, not to mention whether others were convinced, even Li Zijing was beating drums in his heart.

It is said that a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier, but the question is is it easy to be a general?
Li Zijing was still hesitating in his heart. After all, this shop might disappear after passing this village. Wouldn't it be good to have tens of thousands of soldiers in hand?
Li Zicheng squinted his eyes and looked more satisfied.

Li Zijing's performance was completely beyond Li Zicheng's expectations. A high-ranking general in the first battalion system was as calm as usual, and his temperament was absolutely extraordinary.

"I don't agree!"

A loud cry attracted everyone's attention, but it was Liu Zongmin.

At this moment, Liu Zongmin had lost the anger just now, but his face was still serious, and his eyes were full of contempt for Li Zijing.

"Er Dashun's five-battalion general, which one was not a prestigious leader?"

"Let's talk about the two left and right generals in the former battalion, Zuo Guangxian and Tian Hu, which of them has not experienced many battles and has fought for many years!"

"Little King Chuang has made great achievements in this battle, and I agree with him. He can be promoted to the rank of general. All the brothers are not convinced!"

"Even if you want to choose a general, you should choose from Zuo Guangxian and Tian Hu. Little Chuang Wang is not qualified enough!"

After Liu Zongmin finished speaking, the rest of the people also talked a lot, and the noise was so loud that it almost broke the high hall of the General Military Mansion.

"Yes, I can't wait!"

"How can the high position of a general be given to someone easily, not even the little King Chuang!"

"In my Dashun army, I have always relied on military merits to gain a foothold. Your Majesty cannot treat one more favorably than another!"

Li Zicheng glanced at the crowd, twitching his fingers slightly behind his back.

Although Liu Zongmin acted recklessly, sometimes even he couldn't control him, but he was not a person who didn't know what to do, and what he said was true.

Elevating the third brother to a high position hastily can only harm him.

What's more, it is still impossible to fully assess the third brother's ability in the current battle.

Li Zicheng's eyes moved slightly, and his thoughts suddenly came to him. It would be better to let Liu Zongmin have the right to wait for the third brother to make meritorious service in the future, and then he will be promoted sooner or later.

I just don't know if the third brother will agree
"My brother is willing to listen to the opinions of all the brothers. Your Majesty, please ask for another talented person for the position of general!"

Li Zijing also knew that he did not have the ability to command tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in battle. Since everyone was against it, it was better to take advantage of the situation and learn how to lead troops in battle from the grassroots.

Wait for the day when you are capable enough, and then use the facts to shut them up.

Liu Zongmin was about to shout again, but was startled when he heard this.

Everyone's discussion gradually quieted down. I didn't expect Li Zijing to give up on his own initiative.

Li Zicheng heaved a sigh of relief and went down the donkey down the slope.

"I gave my brother the former head of the battalion department, so all the brothers are convinced?"

Liu Zongmin turned around, looked up and down, and then shouted.

"convince!"

Everyone followed suit.

"I am convinced!"
