Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 156 Transferring the Guards to Suppress Zuo Liangyu
"Choose thirty monks, stand on top of the city tower, and confront them with their private parts exposed, and the Yin-0 gate formation will be broken."

When Fu Qingzhu said this, Yuan Jixian couldn't help laughing: "It's really nonsense, why bother, pass down the order, set up all the guns and cannons, and shoot them directly! If you don't kill them, more women and children will be killed by them Such a humiliation!"

Yuan Jixian gave an order, and countless bullets and shells poured towards the left army as if covering the sky and covering the sun. The innocent women and children who were forced by the left army to form a yin and yang gate all died tragically. When Yuan Jixian had no choice but to continue the strong attack, the strong attack was still blocked, and the situation remained stalemate.

Yuan Jixian and Huang Degong were not afraid of consumption. After all, what Zhu Youjian asked them was to block Zuo Liangyu for half a year or even more than a year, and they were backed by rich areas such as Jiangxi and Jiangnan that had not been devastated by war. food resource support.

On the contrary, the Zuo army cannot fight a protracted war of attrition. His own Huguang has been destroyed by himself. Not a single blade of grass will grow, and he will not be able to recover within two or three years. Without a basis, he can only quickly break through to Jiangnan, otherwise he can only die.

The news that the Zuo Army was blocked in Jiujiang and Anqing also spread back to Nanjing.

"It's not beyond the expectation of me and all my lovers. The Zuo army is really nothing to fear. It has been a month now, and this Zuo Liangyu has not built a strong city. I think his goal of going to the south of the Yangtze River in March is hopeless. It's gone." Zhu Youjian said with a smile, and said: "In addition, I heard that Zuo Liangyu is dying of illness. When this person dies, the Zuo army will become more scattered. At that time, our army will wipe out or digest Zuo Liangyu. It’s just a snap of the fingers.”

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, can we not wait for Zuo Liangyu's death before making counterattacks, and first transfer some of the guards to the Susong area of ​​Anqing to unite with Huang Degong and Yuan Jixian's troops to wipe out Zuo Liangyu before Jiannu and Li Zicheng's troops arrive?" Liangyu Department, in this way, you can practice the sharpness of the guards in the middle of the battle!"

Ma Shiying, Minister of the Ministry of War, has always been worried about Zuo Liangyu, especially now that Zuo Liangyu's purpose of raising troops is to kill him, a treacherous minister.

As long as Zuo Liangyu is not dead, Ma Shiying will always worry that Zhu Youjian will kill him to appease Zuo Liangyu's tribe, especially in the future when Zuo Liangyu's tribe and the imperial court may face the pressure of the army. If they want to reach a reconciliation and fight against the Qing Dynasty together, then he, Ma Shiying, must become a victim.

Therefore, Ma Shiying can only try his best to suggest that Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian get rid of Zuo Liangyu, and get rid of Zuo Liangyu quickly.

Zhu Youjian naturally knew Ma Shiying's purpose. Although he was the emperor, he didn't know how to do the best when there were jackals (Zuo Liangyu and Li Zicheng) and tigers (Jian slaves) behind him. To deal with it, he just knew that the most powerful enemy in the future would be Jiannu, so he had to put his main force in Huaiyang and Shandong.

But Zhu Youjian also knew that if Zuo Liangyu was not removed for a day, it would always be a major drag on his resistance to slavery, so Zhu Youjian did not deny Ma Shiying's suggestion, but asked him to talk about his own reasons.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is now the beginning of March. Jiannu Azig's troops marched westward against Li Zicheng at the end of last year, and have now occupied the whole of Shaanxi. , Wuchang was in danger, and Duoduo, who was in charge of the southern expedition, was temporarily transferred to Guanzhong by Dorgon because he was worried that Azig's army would be defeated by Li Zicheng. and is preparing to march from Henan to the south of the Yangtze River, and has now reached the Hulaoguan area. If we do not immediately annihilate or subdue Zuo Liangyu's troops within one month, then once Zuo Liangyu's troops surrender to the Qing army, we will face What will happen will be a two-sided attack from the Duduo tribe and the Zuo Liangyu tribe, and the consequences will be disastrous."

After Ma Shiying said, Li Mingrui, who advocated resolutely resisting the Qing Dynasty with Huaiyang as the foundation, stood up and said: "Did Sima ever think that this would be the case? And the soldiers are going directly to the south of the Yangtze River at such a rapid speed, how will we deal with it then?"

"Your Majesty, is it possible to do this? We are only afraid that the guards of one corps will participate in the encirclement and suppression of Zuo Liangyu's tribe, and most of the rest of the guards will still stick to Huaiyang and Shandong. If this guards can occupy the whole of Henan in Duoduo It would be better to wipe out Zuo Liangyu's troops and return to the army before going straight to Shandong and Huaiyang, and it would be better if we can't resist Azige and Li Zicheng on the spot to prevent our Ming Dynasty from being attacked by the enemy!"

When Lu Zhenfei said this, Zhu Youjian also deeply agreed: "It is more reasonable to send a corps. It has a small number of people and strong mobility. It is also a complete preparation of local infantry, cavalry, artillery and logistics. It has the ability to fight independently. The transfer efficiency is also relatively high. Now Duoduo can only attack Jiangnan from Huaiyang and southern Shandong. In this way, Liu Zhaoji, the First Corps of the First Army, will immediately reinforce Huang Degong's Ministry, and join Huang Degong's Fourth Guards Army within half a month. Destroy Zuo Liangyu's tribe!"

When Zhu Youjian said this, Ma Shiying couldn't help being very happy, and hurriedly replied loudly: "Observe the order!"

After all, Zhu Youjian listened to his opinion and agreed to transfer the First, Second and Third Armies of the Guards to participate in the extermination of Zuo Liangyu's tribe. This shows that His Majesty Zhu Youjian still trusts Ma Shiying more, and did not sacrifice him to appease Zuo Liangyu in the future Ma Shiying's mental preparation.

Of course, Zhu Youjian trusts Ma Shiying more. After all, Zuo Liangyu is a dying person. The people under his command are useless except to hold back the legs. The prestige of the imperial court let Huang Degong, Gao Jie and others know the fate of rebelling against the imperial court.

The First Corps of the First Army of the Guards is Zhu Youjian's most valued descendant. Not only is the deputy commander-in-chief Liu Zhaoji, a Liaodong titan, but also because there are Zheng Sen (Zheng Chenggong), Yan Yingyuan, Gu Yanwu, Wang Fuzhi, etc. in this regiment. People, especially Yan Yingyuan, other people may not be considered or have no chance to become a military genius in the original history, but Yan Yingyuan is a real military genius. Potential stocks.

Li Dingguo is still serving his godfather, and he is Zhu Youjian's enemy in name; Hong Chengchou has defected to the Qing Dynasty, and will replace Duduo as the commander of the Qing army that destroyed the Ming Dynasty in the future; only Yan Yingyuan is no longer annihilated in this life In the rolling history, the little classic history that didn't shine until the Qing army marched into Jiangyin was a grassroots officer under his own Guards.

"From now on, the focus of our Grand Marshal's Mansion will be on the Jiannuduoduo tribe that Jibingfeng pointed directly at Henan. Let Guangming Daily pay attention to the news of how Zuo Liangyu's tribe was wiped out. In addition, on Li Zicheng's side, Jinyiwei You have to hurry up and send an order to Huguang governor He Tengjiao and Huguang governor Du Yinxi to recruit Li Zicheng's troops! No matter what the remnants of the trespassers ask, as long as they are willing to join Ming Dynasty and fight against the Qing Dynasty together, agree first! If you disobey me According to the decree, those who still want to suppress thieves will be dismissed on the spot!"

After Zhu Youjian finished speaking, he let out a long breath. Jiannu was coming, and he didn't know if he could turn the world around and change history, and he didn't know if the guards could stop Duoduo's soldiers, but He could only deal with it with all his strength, and told the first assistant, Fan Jingwen, to prepare for moving the capital.
