Daming: Start with an Altar of Luck

Chapter 92 Plan (for Subscription)

Wu Sangui is waiting for Manqing to continue to offer him satisfactory conditions, and at the same time, he is also waiting for Da Ming to continue to recruit him. It is best that Da Ming can make him a king, although even if Da Ming makes him a king, Wu Sangui will not contribute to Daming , but will continue to suck Daming's blood to support his own soldiers, but after all he is still Daming's general now.

It's a pity that Wu Sangui may have miscalculated this time. From Lao Zhu to Zhu Biao, the emperor and prince of Ming Dynasty never thought of recruiting such two-faced people.

And Dorgon of the Qing Dynasty was also not in a hurry. He couldn't just throw out his last chips. At least he had to wait for the soldiers of the Eight Banners to rest. If Wu Sangui is still not satisfied with his position as the prince of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Dorgon will show Wu Sangui what the Eight Banners Cavalry is.

As for Wu Sangui's Guanning Iron Cavalry, Dorgon has never paid attention to him. He believes that if Wu Sangui dares to go out of the city to fight, he is sure to eat the opposing cavalry in a battle. You must know that his Eight Banners cavalry are all walking in the deep mountains and old forests Come out to be an elite, not to mention invincible in riding and shooting, that is also a rare opponent.

Of course, it’s better not to fight or not to fight. You must know that he adopted Fan Wencheng’s opinion. Within a few days, he hurriedly gathered all the soldiers and horses of the Qing Dynasty. The men in the Qing Dynasty were under 12 years old and over ten years old. A total of [-] people were called. , The Manchu army was [-], the Han army was nearly [-], the Mongolian army was more than [-], and the Manchu army was [-]. He came with the hope of the Qing Dynasty.

The purpose is to enter the customs and aspire to the Central Plains. Naturally, he does not want to fight against Wu Sangui's 5 cavalry. Even if he can completely wipe out these [-] people in the end, he will probably lose some of the Eight Banners. Qing's title 'king'.

As long as Wu Sangui is attached, let Wu Sangui join the Qing Dynasty with [-] Guanning iron cavalry, and become the pioneer after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, and contribute to the Qing Dynasty's establishment of the Central Plains.

At this time, Xu Da had already Chen Bing Yongping Mansion, occupied Qian'an, Lulong, and Luanzhou, and completely blocked the road from Shanhaiguan to the capital. As for why Xu Da didn't move forward, it was because further east was the Funingwei is now, and Funingwei is Wu Sangui's territory, and a large-scale deployment of troops will alarm Wu Sangui.

Xu Da didn't want to startle the enemy when the follow-up troops didn't arrive. He still wanted to use his strength and equipment advantages to reduce his own losses and eat as many opponents as possible.

Of course, the number of Ming cavalry is not impossible. In addition to Chang Yuchun who took away [-] cavalry, more than [-] cavalry came from Daming successively. They were all elite cavalry following Xu Da’s Northern Expedition. Naturally, their combat power should not be underestimated. , Even if you fight recklessly with the Eight Banners Cavalry, which is now invincible in the Qing Dynasty, let alone one-on-two, one-on-one should not be defeated.

As for why Chang Yuchun sent so many cavalry to the south, it was also related to the fact that Xu Da didn't know the number of Qing cavalry outside the pass at the beginning. Ten thousand cavalry, Xu Da will definitely not let Chang Yuchun's fifty thousand cavalry leave easily.

Just like Li Zicheng didn't know how many troops there were in the city before, Xu Da now also doesn't know how many Manchu cavalry there are behind the majestic Shanhaiguan Pass.

Fortunately, Xu Da did not gather troops to guard the capital, but directly cut off the route of the Manchus going south. Otherwise, once the cavalry of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty bypassed the capital and went south, I don’t know how much damage it will cause. It is regarded as something in the bag by the ministers of the Ming Dynasty, so how can others get involved.

How could Lao Zhu and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty allow the cavalry of the Qing Dynasty to go south to destroy and plunder.

Now the only loophole is Laoting. Once Laoting is blocked, the Manchus will never have the chance to go south again, because if the Manchus want to bypass Laoting, they can only go by water, but do the Manchus have warships? ?

He has a fart, so after discovering the loophole, Xu Da has urgently mobilized Daming soldiers to go to Laoting, and Wu Sangui's hesitation and Dorgon's self-confidence gave Daming hope to fill the loophole.

If it wasn't for Xu Da's unwillingness to directly blockade Funing, the area to be blocked would be much smaller, and the battle line would be much smaller. In fact, their Ming army would be easily discovered by Wu Sangui if they went east, and even Xu Da was afraid of directly provoking Wu Sangui. Take refuge in Manchu.

As for recruiting Wu Sangui now, none of the generals in Ming Dynasty had this idea. Take a look at the military expenses Wu Sangui asked Chongzhen for, and then look at how many days Li Zicheng had besieged Chongzhen in the capital. Wu Sangui did not send troops to relieve the siege.

I have already seen Wu Sangui's mind and behavior. Even if you want to guard against the Qing army outside the customs, it is not too much for you to send 2 or [-] people to support the capital, right?

Without a single soldier, sitting and watching Ming Dynasty perish, no matter whether it is Lao Zhu, Xu Da, Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen, etc., they don't have a good impression of Wu Sangui.

Moreover, after Wei Zaode's confession, Wu Sangui colluded with many important officials in the court to divide up the military expenses. This kind of person, Lao Zhu and others, wished to kill him alive, so how could he recruit him? Would he be disgusted by himself?
Therefore, in Wu Sangui's fantasy, waiting for Daming's solicitation and rewards may not be possible in this lifetime. Instead, Wu Sangui dragged on, and after Xu Da made the arrangements, if Wu Sangui hadn't moved, Xu Da would definitely point his troops at Funing. His Funing would definitely be lost, if Xu Da hadn't dispatched troops to occupy Laoting again in order to be safe, he would have ordered the army to advance in the direction of Funing.

"Brother, what exactly does Wu Sangui want?" Duoduo was a little annoyed, they had been resting in Shanhaiguan for three days, and all they consumed in these three days were the grain and grass they brought from the Qing Dynasty.

If it weren't for Dorgon's prestige enough, the Eight Banners and the Mongolian cavalry would have quarreled long ago. They were going south to enter the pass to plunder, but now they have been waiting for three days in the pass.

"Duoduo, today you send someone to write Wu Sangui's last letter. As long as Wu Sangui can open the Shanhaiguan Pass, after my Qing Dynasty enters the customs and establishes the world, I will give Wu Sangui the title of king!" When he spoke, no one knew whether Dorgon was angry or happy.

In fact, Dorgon is very calm. As long as Wu Sangui can really open the Shanhai Pass and let the Qing cavalry go south, Dorgon really doesn't mind giving him a prince. After all, Wu Sangui still has [-] cavalry under his command. If Wu Sangui surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, the [-] cavalry In an instant, he became a fighting soldier of the Qing Dynasty.

Then the Qing Dynasty had nearly 20 combatable soldiers who were skilled in bows and horses. Dorgon believed that with these nearly 20 cavalry, he would definitely be able to sweep the world and let the Manchus also sit on the throne of emperor.

Not surprisingly, Dorgon should have been able to succeed, but unfortunately, there was an accident in this world. Hongwu Daming's most elite cavalry and soldiers all came, and they also brought flintlock guns and general cannons.

Not to mention the Hongwu iron cavalry, which is not inferior to the Eight Banners cavalry, even the Ming infantry is not afraid of the Manchu cavalry. Lao Zhu didn't have many cavalry in the south before, and he was still able to use infantry to counter the Mongolian Yuan cavalry.

Now with the blessing of the general's cannon and flintlock guns, he didn't take the Eight Banners cavalry of the Qing Dynasty in the slightest.

Moreover, they occupied the only way for the Qing cavalry to go south, and the city was already in the hands of the Ming soldiers. This time, even if Wu Sangui directly surrendered to the Qing, it would definitely not make the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty like the historical records. No man's land generally stretches across the land of China.

And Xu Da's arrangement was like a big net, slowly enveloping Wu Sangui. In order to prevent surprises, Xu Da didn't directly occupy Funing to block Shanhaiguan, which was considered prudent.

"Report to Xu Shuai, according to the reports of the spies, a large number of cavalry from outside Shanhaiguan have gathered at the pass, and there is nothing unusual about the Shanhaiguan guarded by Wu Sangui."

For a moment, everyone in the room frowned, Xu Da, Liu Bowen and others looked even more ugly.

They just came out of the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and now some people are planning to collude with foreigners to invade China, how can they not be angry.

There was silence in the room, and Liu Bowen saw that everyone was silent, so he took the initiative to say: "Looking at this appearance, Wu Sangui should not have completely fallen for Man Qing outside the customs. Infamy, ready to wait for our solicitation."

Speaking of Liu Bowen here, Liu Bowen paused and continued: "Your Majesty has ordered before that all civil and military merchants in the late Ming world will not accept it. The Ming Dynasty only wants the common people. I don't think we need to think too much about it."

"On the contrary, Wu Sangui's waiting and hesitation can give us more time to make arrangements. I think we can write a letter, maybe it will have a miraculous effect."

"Master Liu told me, let's just call there. No matter what happens on the other side, why is it so troublesome to block people directly at Shanhaiguan?"

"Yeah, I also think what General Wu said is reasonable. Don't look at our arrangement. Even if we can stop a large group of cavalry, if the opposite side is scattered, a small group of cavalry can easily go around. I also support General Wu. Suggestion, direct troops to suppress the border, and stop the enemy outside Shanhaiguan."

For a while there were constant quarrels in the room, there were those who supported Liu Bowen, and there were also many who supported Wu Zhen, only Xu Da sat on the top seat without saying a word.

With a bang, the door was pushed open from the outside.

All the civil servants and military generals who were making noise looked a bit ugly. When they were discussing military and state affairs, someone dared to barge in without reporting.

"Who, what a guts! Don't you know we're discussing something important?" The fiery general roared immediately.

"General Guo's style is still the same, and his voice is much louder than others."

Zhu Biao stepped in from the outside.

Guo Xing had naturally met Zhu Biao. When the generals guarded Beijing and defended against Li Zicheng, they had all met Zhu Biao. Even those who had never met before, they became acquainted with Zhu Biao during that period of time.

All the Huaixi veterans were very satisfied with Zhu Biao, the prince. He was gentle and gentle, and no matter what his status was, he could chat with him.

Guo Xing's face turned red in an instant. After hearing Zhu Biao's voice, Guo Xing regretted it. He blamed himself for speaking so fast. Can't he wait for others to speak first?

"Your Highness, I don't know that His Highness the Crown Prince is here in person, I, I was just now." Guo Xing blushed and didn't know how to explain it.

"Okay, don't blame General Guo, I didn't let anyone report it, but," Zhu Biao said with a smile on his face.

"But General Guo, you have to give me a drink, otherwise this matter will be hard to talk about."

When Guo Xing heard what Zhu Biao said, he raised his heart in his throat. This matter can be big or small. Put your heart in your belly.

"Your Highness, don't worry, don't talk about a meal, even a minister who has ten meals or eight meals can take care of it. His Royal Highness is drinking with the minister, that is to think highly of the minister."

Seeing that Zhu Biao didn't take what happened just now to his heart, Guo Xing was even happier when he heard that he was able to drink with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. After all, he is a proper royalist, and Lao Zhu was brought out from Huaixi.

"Okay, let's not talk about it, let's talk about the business, I have not approached, but I heard the sound of quarreling in the distance, why?" Zhu Biao looked at Xu Da who was standing at the top and asked.

"Your Highness, it's like this. According to the report from the spies, a large number of cavalry have been stationed outside Shanhaiguan, and they are now discussing countermeasures. Master Liu proposed a letter to stabilize Wu Sangui for the time being, and then give me some time for Ming to arrange the battle line more carefully. Some."

"Well, Mr. Liu thought well, it is a good way." Zhu Biao nodded slightly, thinking that Liu Bowen's strategy was actually good. Anyway, Chongzhen is dead, but outsiders don't know, they can give Wu Sangui the name of Chongzhen. One letter.

Anyway, what did Chongzhen write have anything to do with their Daming?You want to find Chongzhen, why are you looking for me, Daming?
That's why, when Lao Zhu first came, he had to ask Xu Da to take down the city of Beijing as soon as possible. , It doesn’t matter whether you use it or not, anyway, there is absolutely nothing wrong with blocking the news from spreading.

"Then General Wu, General Guo and others disagreed, and instead put forward the suggestion of defending against the enemy at Shanhaiguan. After all, no matter how good the layout is, in actual implementation, there will always be some mistakes and omissions. I can't guarantee that the cavalry outside the pass will slip through the net. Pass the defense line and enter the rear." Xu Da explained the cause of the quarrel completely without personal opinions.

"Well, what General Guo and General Wu said is not wrong. After all, there is no foolproof plan in this world, and if the Manchu Qing cavalry enters the customs, it will always cause losses to our Ming people. You must know that these people will move one by one sooner or later. To Daming, if I lose one now, it means that I, Daming, will lose a commoner."

Zhu Biao still nodded, and his favor with the generals of the Ming Dynasty increased sharply. He defended the enemy outside the country. Yes, he was full of fighting spirit.

"Does Marshal Xu have any suggestions?" Zhu Biao looked at Xu Da, not knowing how Xu Da planned to choose.

"Chen, I think Master Liu is right. Daming needs time now." As soon as Xu Da said this, the faces of the generals present all changed. Looking at Xu Da who was at the front, they all cursed secretly in their hearts, "Xu Da I didn't expect you, a simple-looking bastard, to betray my brother. '

On the other hand, Liu Bowen's expression didn't change much.

But before everyone could react, Xu Da continued: "However, it is really inappropriate to stretch the battle line too long, so I suggest you write a letter first, delay it for a few days if you can, and then immediately order Qian'an, Lu All the guards in Long, Luanzhou, and Leting hurried towards Funing at the same time, directly occupying Funing City and the main roads around Funing City, but they can only go to Funing, and Shanhaiwei, who is going forward, faces Shanhaiguan directly. Sure, there is nowhere to defend, and after occupying Funing, Wu Sangui will never sit idly by and ignore the army."

"So after occupying Funing, it is necessary to guard Funing's front line. After all, Funing will be [-]% smaller than the previous defense lines against Qian'an, Lulong, Luanzhou, Laoting and other places. At that time, there will be fewer troops and more soldiers. Wu Sangui is forced to go to the Manqing side, and it will be easy to handle Wu Sangui at that time, and then I will have the advantage."

"And once the Manchu and Qing cavalry entered the pass, they couldn't get around Funing. Otherwise, as long as their retreat was cut off, they would be finished. Therefore, we must take down Funing. In order to delay the time, the letter must be written to Wu Sangui." Xu Da After speaking, he let out a long breath.
