Han’s Son is Not a Slave

Chapter 1074: Get Into Beijing City And Have A Good Time!

Dang Shousu and Li Benying’s shouting were very different from what Li Laiheng thought.

Dang Shousu and the others obviously wanted to fly solo when their wings were hard.

If Chuangying alone won the capital of Beijing, it would be bad. These veteran Chuang generals really imagined that they would be the same as the Chuang Kings of the past, and they would support Li Laiheng to regain the throne of Dashun Emperor.

It is true that Dang Shousu and Li Benying were right. Twenty years ago, this world was indeed their old camp. If King Chuang was not defeated in a stone war, I am afraid that these veteran generals are now Dashun Dynasty. The honorable hero, enjoying the glory and wealth.

King Chuang had no sons, so he had a nephew like Li Guo, and Li Guo was also a adopted son like Li Laiheng. If he had no biological children, Li Laiheng, a little tiger, might have become the third emperor of the Dashun Dynasty.

However, these are just fantasies, unrealistic fantasies of the veterans who feel that their “wings” are hardened.

The glory of Dashun is long gone, and the prestige of the army has long since drifted away with the wind.

Li Laiheng knew very well that since his adoptive father accepted the title granted by Emperor Longwu, entering the camp was no longer a camp, but became the loyalty camp of Daming. He, Li Laiheng, is not a royal family of the Dashun Dynasty now, but King Shun of the Ming Dynasty.

Drinking water and thinking of the source, if there is no Taiping Army, there will be no loyalty camp today, and there will be no Yongcheng General Assembly today.

Li Laiheng is not someone who has forgotten his roots, and he has no ambition to restore the glory of “Dashun”. He proposed that the fundamental intention of going north is not to retake the world as Dang Shousu and the others said, but simply to give this group of uncles. They find a way out.

Today, the general trend of the world is called two points, one clear and one clear; in fact, it is three points, one full every week, one Wu; there are several subdivisions under the three points, among these subdivisions, it is obvious that the loyalty camp mainly focuses on the camp. accounted for more than half. It can even be said that after Zheng Sen’s death, the Loyalty Camp has become the fourth powerful faction besides Man, Zhou and Wu.

Compared with King Li Dingguo of Jin, King Li Laiheng of Shun obviously lacks prestige, qualifications and fame. But now, King Jin is outside the borders, while King Shun is in the heart of the Central Plains, and has firmly controlled a province. The Loyalty Camp with more than 100,000 troops had an even greater impact on the current battle situation. Regardless of which side the Camp of Loyalty falls completely, it will be disastrous for the other side.

However, Li Laiheng is wary of Wu Sangui, and has no intention of cooperating with the other party. Moreover, there is a **** feud between Zhongzhenying and Wu Sangui. Whether it is a stone in the past or Shaanxi and Gansu in the future, countless soldiers who broke into the army fell to Wu Sangui’s. under the knife. So let Li Laiheng fall to Wu Sangui, even if he is willing, most of those veteran generals will not.

As for Zhou Shixiang and the Taiping Army, the Zhongzhen Battalion maintains a military ally relationship with each other, to be precise, cooperation or non-confrontation. Any official documents from Jiangnan to Zhongzhenying were forwarded in the name of the Dingwu court and forwarded by the Ministry of War, not in the name of King Qi of Zhou Shixiang and the commander of the five armies. Li Laiheng’s memorials to the southern capital were also presented directly to Emperor Dingwu, who would then be handed over to the Cabinet by Emperor Dingwu to be transferred to the Military Department and then to the Mansion of Qi Wang. The contact between the two sides seems very cumbersome, but it is the most firm expression of the two sides to express their attitudes and positions.

In this way, the Zhongzheng Camp has gained an independent territory, and the appointment and dismissal of money, grain and personnel is also independent, and is not subject to Zhou Shixiang’s coercion. In the DPRK, there is also a cabinet scholar Hong Yuao who ‘speaks” for them. Not to be unhappy. But in the same way, because of the “independence” of the Zhongzheng Camp, it was impossible for Zhou Shixiang to provide them with a large amount of money, grain and equipment unconditionally and without compensation, and it was impossible for some military operations of the Taiping Army to report every detail to the Zhongzheng Camp. For example, when the Zhongzheng Camp tried to seize Luzhou, it clashed with the Taiping Army. Before that, Li Laiheng didn’t know the other party’s arrangement in Luzhou at all. If the other party had informed it in advance, then Li Laiheng would not have bumped into it like a headless fly.

Apart from the fact that Zhou Shixiang respected them, rescued these great men who persisted in fighting against the Qing Dynasty, and gave them a good home in the future, there was another reason for rescuing the Loyalty Camp from Kuidong. At that time, the reason why Zhou Shi explained to Song Xianggong for this move was that “disaster water will be drawn from the north”.

Loyalty Camp is a pack of wolves, and those who can persist until now are the most elite backbones in the army. But once they were released from the dead place of Kuidong, it would undoubtedly be like digging a dam upstream, and the flood raged down and rushed straight to Manqing.

………….

Facts have proved Zhou Shixiang’s judgment. After the Loyalty Camp came out from Kuidong, it quickly swept across Hubei, so that Zhang Changgeng, the then governor of Huguang in the Qing Dynasty, had to hide in Wuchang. The Loyalty Camp occupying Hubei also quickly attracted the attention of the Qing court, or directly or indirectly attracted the Qing court’s firepower for the Taiping army in Guangxi, which relieved the pressure of the Taiping army and enabled the Taiping army to achieve the final victory in the battle of Guangxi. .

But Zhou Shixiang didn’t expect that although the veteran generals had the surname Ming, they still had the surname Shun in their bones. After they gained “freedom”, they immediately became familiar with their old profession – rogues.

Back then in Luoding, Zhou Shixiang had to resort to coercion of rogues in order to strengthen himself. After he established himself in Xiangshan, he immediately abandoned this practice and turned to the construction of a base. Those who are “apprentices” know that they need a place to stand for a long time, but the “masters” have not changed for more than 20 years, which makes the “apprentices” stunned. When he knew that Hubei Province had been severely harmed by the Zhongzheng Camp, Zhou Shixiang somewhat regretted whether his original decision was correct. However, it was done, and he couldn’t stop the “growth” of the Loyalty Camp.

Zhou Shixiang carefully compared the Zhongzhen Camp with the Daxi Army, and compared Li Laiheng, Yuan Zongdi, Liu Tichun, etc. with the Daxi Army’s Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo, and Liu Wenxiu, and came to the conclusion that Dashun is far inferior to Daxi!

The Great Western Army led by Sun Kewang paid attention to the fundamental places, local governance and construction, production resumption, military discipline constraints, and the training of its own officials. The two provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou under Sun Kewang’s administration were mature every year, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. It is precisely because of this that the two provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou were able to support the Great Western Army to fight against the Qing Dynasty and achieve brilliant results. Sun Kewang even opened imperial examinations in Yunnan, recruiting scholars, and everything he did was the most outstanding politician of this era. The Ming army, which is dominated by the Daxi Army, is even more disciplined. Whether it is Sun Kewang’s front army or Li Dingguo’s Xifu soldiers, they are all true “divisions of benevolence and righteousness”. When Zhou Shixiang led the Taiping Army into Xiangshan, he imitated Li Dingguo and put forward the same slogans and military orders when he attacked Guangdong.

On the other hand, the Loyalty Camp, which was dominated by the Dashun Army, was really disappointing. Under the leadership of Sun Kewang and others, the Daxi Army was transformed into a real official army, but they were still rogues in official army clothes. To put it horribly, in the eyes of Zhou Shixiang, the destructive power of the Zhongzheng Camp was no less than that of the Manchus. Although the Zhongzheng Camp did not commit mass slaughter of the city, the consequences of cooperating with young and strong masters everywhere were no less than the massacre of the city.

Zhou Shixiang did not blame Li Laiheng for not being as good as Sun Kewang or Li Dingguo, nor did he blame Li Laiheng for not being able to restrain the veterans. It is not just a “little tiger” that can change the deeply ingrained habits of a group of people. In order to minimize the destructive power of the Loyalty Camp, Zhou Shixiang could control them in one area and prevent them from spreading.

Destroying a place is easy, too easy; restoring a place is difficult, even more difficult.

After decades of war, China’s population is already pitifully small. How to restore the population of the southern provinces recovered by the Taiping Army makes Zhou Shixiang frown. He doesn’t want the old troopers of the Zhongzhen Camp to repopulate the north as it was 20 or 30 years ago. The mess was turned upside down.

The reason why the Loyalty Camp was unable to open up the situation in eastern and southern Henan was because they were good at field warfare, but lacked the strength and means to attack the fortress. What is the strongest means of the Taiping Army is undoubtedly attacking the fortress.

Zhou Shixiang had too many ways to help the loyal camp to take down the cities that they used to regard as “fortified cities” without any effort, but he never assisted the loyal camp with any siege weapon, not even a single siege weapon. Even gunpowder is rarely provided.

The reason for this is because Zhou Shi was afraid.

He was afraid that one day in the future, on the way to Beijing, he would find that the places he passed through were still there, but the people were gone.

Zhao Sihai, the governor of Hunan Province, “aided” the Zhongzhen Camp under the instigation of Zhou Shixiang – “encircle the point and fight for aid”. This method is actually a very good means of destroying the enemy, and it is also just to restrain the strategy of “building a strong fortress and fighting a dull battle”, which was developed by Jia Hanfu, governor of Henan Province of Qing Dynasty, and attacking the enemy’s inevitable rescue by virtue of field maneuverability, thus annihilating the enemy’s reinforcements.

However, this method has a fatal flaw, that is, the side that “encircles the point and fights for aid” must be able to survive on their own first, and must have enough food and grass to support their strategy. The reality is that no matter which leader of the loyalty camp, there is not enough food and grass to support them. Therefore, when this strategic intention is actually implemented, it is a bit like a cat and a tiger. It is nondescript and often fails to work.

Without being able to encircle the point or fight for aid, the Loyalty Camp could not capture the Qing army’s food and grass through battle, and could not develop and grow by looting manpower and material resources through the city. And their usual “rogue” behavior is destined to be a mess in their control area, and it is impossible to provide them with a steady stream of money.

A penny beats a hero.

When the Loyalty Camp, which has not been “captured” but is crazy about “recruiting soldiers and horses”, has to stop “expansion”, they will be busy with their own food and clothing problems when they reach the critical point of their own capabilities. As a result, they will naturally be restricted Mobility. On the contrary, many towns will naturally be preserved, and even if they are still under the control of the Qing army, they will not become “white land” like some places.

After Zhou Shixiang was ready to deal with the Dutch red-haired ghost, he immediately dispatched the navy to copy Liaodong, cut off Ningjin, cut off the retreat of the rest of the Manchu Eight Banners, old and young, and completely eliminated Manchuria, the “monstrous deformity” that had plagued the Ming Dynasty for 50 years. Solve it, so that they will not have the opportunity to return to the White Mountains and Black Waters and rise again in the future.

This strategy is to get rid of all the old clappers who have lost their teeth in Manchuria, and all the little ones who have fallen into the swaddling clothes, leaving none of them.

This strategy is Zhou Shixiang’s final revenge for his parents, wife and children, as well as for the hundreds of millions of compatriots who have died since Jiashen. Before that, he would never tolerate anyone who sabotaged his strategic intentions and ‘stunned the snake”, so that the Manchus would return to the border from Beijing ahead of schedule, so that the Taiping Army would have to invest a large amount of troops outside the border to carry out long-term security wars in the future. Encirclement and suppression war.

It’s just that no one knew what Zhou Shixiang was thinking, nor did he have such a big ambition.

Li Laiheng didn’t know either, so he decided to take the Zhongzhen Camp northward after much consideration. First, he wanted to find a way out for these uncles. Second, he wanted to solve the food problem in the army. Third, he also wanted to help the Taiping Army, who was temporarily unable to go north. , If his side progresses smoothly, then the Taiping Army can also take advantage of the situation to move north.

Li Laiheng is really kind.

……….

Back then, when King Chuang entered the northern capital, it was smooth sailing, and almost all the Ming troops that passed along the way fell in awe.

“Kill the cattle and sheep, prepare the wine, open the city gate to welcome the King of Chuang, but the King of Chuang does not pay the grain when he arrives.

Eat his mother, eat her mother, if you don’t eat enough, there will be a king.

Don’t be an errand, don’t pay food, everyone has a good time. ”

With the singing of this nursery rhyme, Chuangjun finally entered the Beijing capital.

It was only after a lapse of twenty years that Li Laiheng made a plan to enter the Beijing capital again, but the situation was very different from twenty years ago.

First of all, there are heavy troops of the Qing army in Henan. Although Ao Bai and Wu Sangui are fighting to death, but if he can’t make a move, he will definitely not let the more than 100,000 horses of Zhongzhen Camp go north under his nose. Secondly, there are Qing troops stationed in Xuzhou, and Han troops and green battalions in Shandong and Beizhili. Although most of the young Manchurians in the capital city were brought to Henan by Aobai, the loyal battalion is really under the city, and the Qing court can make it together even if they die. Send some troops. Relying on the persistence of Beijing Capital City and lacking the strength to attack the fortress, the Loyalty Camp wants to have the same ease as when the King broke into Beijing.

In the end, Wu Sangui could make Zhongzhenying take Beijing one step ahead of him? The fruits of the war between him and Ao Bai in the opening of Zheng, just handed over to the Loyalty Camp? Zhou Shixiang went to great lengths to bring down the Manchus, and now he is deploying a large net covering the old and the young in Manchuria. Can he tolerate the people from the Zhongzhen Camp to start the ‘snake” away?

Li Laiheng obviously didn’t think about it that much. What he was thinking now was that if he led the Zhongzheng Camp northward, and Wu Sangui didn’t talk about him, Zhou Shixiang would definitely be grateful to him. Because he did not have the ambition to take Beijing as his own and to be called the Emperor Dashun in the Forbidden City. He just wanted to integrate the Zhongzheng Camp, the Thirteen Yaohuang Clan, and those Henan native bandits, unite to fight more territory and get more food, so that the brothers would no longer suffer from starvation, and let him go smoothly. Wang is more confident.

Dang Shousu and Li Benying’s clamor was blatantly trying to relaunch the banner of Dashun, to break with the Ming Dynasty and the Taiping Army.

Li Laiheng rarely reprimanded Dang Shousu and Li Benying for being confused, and the two veteran generals also realized that what they said was too much, which would bring disaster to Zhongzhenying, so they dared not speak any more.

“Break into Beijing. Let’s have a good time everyone!”

Ta Tianbao thought of Hao Yaoqi and Wu Sangui’s frowning, thinking that it would be better to do this with the little tiger~www.readwn.com~ If you are lucky, you will win the Beijing capital, everyone is happy. If you are unlucky, his mother’s people will be hanged to the sky.

“Yes, since he lives here without people or ghosts, it’s better to go to the fight to get rich!”

Shaking the Yellow Earth Bandit Wu Da’s eyes were red with determination, what a prestige thing it would be to fight Beijing. No matter whether it was successful or not, being able to participate in this matter would be worth his mother’s death.

Liu Tichun and Li Laiheng had made up this idea long ago, and now he got up and echoed the matter. All the leaders who participated in the meeting were attracted by the prestige and prestige of conquering the capital city of Beijing. But one by one they all became rich.

For the wealth, for the prestige, for the killing of the Tartars, and for the ambition to restore the Great Shun.

Erlang Guanzhong was bombed, and he was all clamoring to kill the Beijing capital to do his mother’s vote. A few more sober people are arguing to go, and there are so many people who are thinking about going, even if they are unsuccessful, most of them will be able to return, so they are also a little tempted.

Seeing that no one objected, Li Laiheng struck while the iron was hot and asked Liu Tichun to mobilize before the war. Which leader’s troops would gather where, where would they go north, where was the contact point, and whose orders to listen to, they would issue orders one by one. The leader of Deling stepped forward and received the sign, shouting hello, and his morale was high.

The excitement ended in the evening, so it was another big bowl of drinking, big pieces of meat, everyone drinking and talking, all looking forward to a good day in the north. No one noticed, King Guangxing of Jing Kingdom went out to urinate on the pretext of drinking too much, but he secretly summoned his own soldiers and asked him to rush to the Taiping Army overnight to report the news.

Wang Guangxing now feels that he is no longer on the boat of Zhongzhen Camp, he is now on the boat of King Qi.
