Daming: Lend the system to Emperor Hongwu at the beginning

Chapter 54 The Qing Army Goes South
Luoyang City.

The former governor's yamen has now been transformed into a military and political discussion hall.

Xu Dagao sat in the first place, and on both sides of him were more than 20 generals in armor.

These people included Zuo Liangyu's subordinates, as well as the court's generals, as well as a few useful subordinates he discovered when he was called the Righteous King.

No matter what his background was, but now after three months of integration, Xu Da has cut off the heads of more than a thousand people, and everyone has been obedient to him.

Although this kind of obedience may only be temporary, it is quite remarkable to be able to achieve this step in such a chaotic time.

This is Xu Da's ability, no matter how many troops, no matter how complicated the situation is, after he sorts it out, it can be condensed into a single rope and unanimous to the outside world.

Chang Yuchun said that he could hold a maximum of [-] soldiers, and he was nicknamed Chang [-]. If Zhu Yuanzhang was asked to evaluate Xu Da, he might have to use what Han Xin once said.

Han Xin ordered troops, the more the better.

This sentence is equally suitable for Xu Da.

"Report...!"

"The Tartars have raised 30 soldiers and horses, of which 20 Han army flags and [-] elite Eight Banners are advancing towards Luoyang!" A scout ran in and quickly reported the latest military situation.

"Explore again!"

Xu Da waved back the scouts, and then looked at the generals on both sides: "Unbelievable Your Majesty expected, the Tartars really came, and the elite cavalry of the Eight Banners came out. It seems that this is going to be a decisive battle with us!"

Hearing Xu Da's words, most of the generals below turned ugly.

Although they had been resisting the Manchu southward footsteps before, but Li Zicheng in Shanxi restrained part of the Manchu energy, and there were some private salt dealers in Shandong, which made the pressure on Zuo Liangyu Group not so great.

But now that the news of Zuo Liangyu's death has reached Dorgon's ears, it is obvious that he wants to finish his work in one battle, push Zuo Liangyu down in one fell swoop, and knock down the entire Henan.

I have to say that although Dorgon is not as good as Huang Taiji, he is still an extremely good military strategist, and his grasp of fighter planes is quite accurate.

If Xu Da hadn't come, perhaps Dorgon would not have needed to take action at all. Most of the generals who used to be Zuo Liangyu would have to surrender when they heard the news of the army's pressure, and the rest would have to flee without a fight.

After all, [-] percent of Zuo Liangyu's subordinates had fought against the Manchus, and they had seen how powerful the Eight Banners cavalry was. They were already frightened.

But it is a pity that the opponents he is facing now are Zhu Yuanzhang, who is sitting in Nanjing, and Xu Da, who is commanding the front line.

"Everyone, let's talk about it, what should we do?" Xu Da glanced around and asked everyone's expressions.

"Retreat... It's impossible to retreat!" Lu Guangzu said, he originally wanted to say retreat, but halfway through, he was caught by Xu Da's eyes, and he held back.

This product was originally a surrender activist in history. After Zuo Liangyu's death, he was the first to propose to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. After that, he was loyal to the Manchu Qing Dynasty and was willing to be the vanguard of the south.

Even when attacking Shunqing, he fought to the death for seven days and seven nights without retreating, making him the most loyal servant of the Manchu sect.

It's a pity that minions can only be minions after all, and he didn't always hold heavy soldiers like Wu Sangui, Shang Kexi and others.

Now he obviously doesn't know his original destiny. Even if he really wants to surrender in his heart, under the power of Xu Da, he can only hold it in his heart forever.

"It's so troublesome, just go out of the city to fight. They have 30 people, and we have 30. Who is afraid of the other!" Huang Degong's loud voice rang out second, his eyes were full of excitement.

He had been beating the bandits since he joined the army, and Chongzhen had been beating the bandits 15 years ago. He had never fought head-to-head with the Eight Horsemen of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, and he had never suffered a loss, so naturally he didn't know the pain.

There were two people who spoke first, and the whole hall was suddenly chaotic and noisy, saying everything.

Xu Da listened quietly, then suddenly turned to look at Zhou Yuji, who was sitting on his left hand: "Cui Li, you are a Jinzhou general and you should know the Tartar cavalry best, what do you say?"

Hearing Xu Da speak, the whole hall was silent, and everyone turned to look at Zhou Yuji.

"Going out of the city to fight in waves is to court death. For this purpose, we can only occupy the big city and wait for reinforcements from the imperial court!"

Hearing Zhou Yuji's remarks, more than half of the people in the hall suddenly relaxed.

As long as they are not allowed to fight the Tartars head-on, it is easy to say.

"According to what Cui Li said, everyone refuses to defend the city. Don't worry, Your Majesty has a clever plan to defeat the enemy. As long as we can stick to it for three months, we will win!" Promise, go down and prepare to go.

After everyone left, Zhou Yuji looked at Xu Da with a dignified expression: "Commander, the artillery of the Tartars is not weak in the army now. If we blindly defend, it may not be a good strategy."

"Your Majesty...!" He hesitated, not knowing how to speak.

In today's world, the Tartar cavalry is an unsolved existence. From the abolition of Li Chengliang's Liaodong iron cavalry at the end of the Wanli era, in fact, Daming has no way to deal with the Qing Dynasty.

Of course, it was still manageable.

But by the time the important town of Jiubian was destroyed and Beiping City was pointed to the forehead by the Manchu soldiers, the entire north had already been abolished in half.

As for the remaining half, it was destroyed by Li Zicheng...

current situation.

Unless that majesty can conjure up a cavalry that is not weaker than the Manchus, everything will be in vain.

"Do not worry!"

"Hold on for three months and see for yourself!" Xu Da smiled and comforted him.

As for the plan to raid the Tartars' lair, although he knew it, he would not reveal the slightest bit to anyone to ensure that this tactic was foolproof.

Twenty miles outside Jinzhou City.

The [-] elite cavalry that had just been transported by Zheng Zhilong stood solemnly under the leadership of Li Wenzhong, quietly watching this small town hidden in the dark and close to the coastline in the distance.

Behind him, one of the guides of the army, Li Si, a native of Liaodong, knelt on the ground with tears in his eyes, and finally couldn't help crying.

More than 20 years ago, in the battle of Sarhu, the frontier army of the Ming Dynasty was defeated, and Nurhaci almost occupied the entire territory of Liaodong. He and more than 60 people living here were forced to move to Shanhaiguan.

More than 20 years have passed by now.

During this great migration, his father, mother, and two older brothers all died, and he is the only one who survives to this day.

I thought that I would never have the chance to return to this black land in my life, but I didn't expect that he would come back 20 years later, and as a guide, he led the Daming cavalry to come back for revenge.

To be honest, he had been looking forward to this day for far too long.

In his dreams, he was looking forward to the day when he could kill the Tartars with his hands.

　happy new year everyone
