Daming Zhu Di: Father, why aren't you dead? !

Chapter 260 The Battle of Zhuxian Town in the late Ming Dynasty! Arrogant Zuo Boss! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)

"If you want to attack his formation, you must first confuse his mind."

"This method is wonderful!"

Lao Zhu took a deep breath and praised aloud.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Lao Zhu himself was a rebel. As a veteran rebel, he understood best the thoughts and habits of these peasant soldiers with mud-legged backgrounds.

Everyone is illiterate and illiterate. They join the rebel army just to earn a living. The organization is inherently unstable. Once there is a problem with the leadership of this group of people, it is extremely easy to fall into confusion.

This is also the reason why the peasant army is often called a million-strong army, but in the end it collapsed in the first battle and the million-strong army simply dispersed.

Get together and disperse quickly.

Imagine.

It is not impossible that two Li Zichengs appeared in front of this group of peasant troops, which would have such an impact on people's hearts, and even directly lead to the collapse of morale.

"Returning to the Immortal Master, Li Zicheng has successfully penetrated into the rebel army and has become one of the most powerful leaders in the northwest rebel army."

Zhu Youxiao thought for a moment and said.

"I have to say that this person does have the talent for rebellion."

Although Emperor Apocalypse has now enrolled in the Emperor's Class, and although various reforms of the Apocalypse Ming Dynasty have begun in full swing, they are different from the Ming Dynasty in the early Ming Dynasty.

The deep-seated underlying conflicts of Apocalypse and Ming Dynasty are like pustules.

Since it is already a pustule, it is obviously unrealistic to let it disappear quietly.

To cure it, the evil pus must be drained out.

Instead of waiting for the pustule to develop into ulceration and infection, it is better to prick it proactively.

The person responsible for piercing the pustule of Tianqi Daming was Tianqi Li Zicheng.

With the secret support of Emperor Tianqi, Li Zicheng was like the Burmese Allied Forces in later generations. When he walked in the woods, he could pick up a large amount of ordnance supplies, food, grass, silver, and even thousands of pieces of clothing for six pieces. The little brother of abs.

These have become the capital for Tianqi Li Zicheng to start his business.

The current Apocalypse Li Zicheng has become one of the founders of the peasant army who first launched the uprising in the Apocalypse Ming Dynasty. He is directly the same generation as Gao Yingxiang. He no longer needs to be a second-generation leader, he is a first-generation leader.

And his next goal is to achieve a top position within the rebel army, and finally surrender to the court through recruitment.

"Ah."

Hearing this, Ji Boying nodded slightly.

After these two years of human experience, Tianqi Li Zicheng should have fully grown up by now.

His eyes were slightly focused.

Ji Boying's mind instantly locked onto the location of Li Zicheng, the Great Ming Dynasty, and he moved with a thought.

Swish.

In an instant, a dark man wearing a yellow robe and a majestic temperament appeared on the podium beside the Immortal Master.

The temperament that Tianqi Li Zicheng gives now is completely different from the honest feeling he had when he first came to Zuixian Tower. After being the boss for two years, it is just different.

After being stunned for just a moment, Tianqi Li Zicheng reacted instantly.

First he saluted Ji Boying and the ancestor, then he saluted Emperor Tian Qi, and then he stood aside with a humble face, standing reserved and not daring to say a word.

Over the past year or so, he has become stronger, balder, and smarter.

Although he is now prosperous and has 70,000 to 80,000 subordinates working for him, Tianqi Li Zicheng has never forgotten how he got there, and he dare not forget the top-secret identity of his No. 1 spy.

and.

He knew it even more.

If he was suddenly summoned by the immortal master this time, he must have something to do on his own.

Those present were all the emperors and princes of the Ming Dynasty. With their own status, they were not even qualified to ask questions and could only wait for arrangements.

"I got it for you, you decide how to use it next."

Ji Boying glanced at Lao Zhu and said.

He never cared about the war.

"Don't worry, brother, leave it to us."

Lao Zhu glanced at the well-behaved Tianqi Li Zicheng and nodded.

"Well, let's go."

The words fell.

Ji Boying is preparing to take Lao Zhu Abiao and Zhu Laosi to Chongzhen time and space to start work.

As for the princes and princes of the Ming Dynasty in other time and space, they stayed in the main hall of Zuixian Tower. Anyway, there is a holographic projection that can be watched live, and the effect is the same.

"Immortal Master."

Li Er, who was standing on the podium, and Zhao Da, who stood up quickly, both subconsciously shouted.

Those longing little eyes.

Understand.

The two of them are both martial kings, so naturally they want to eat something like this.

"can."

The immortal master said lightly.

This Zhao Da Li Er, especially Li Er, is absolutely outstanding in terms of military layout and grand strategy. With these two people serving as Lao Zhu's advisers, the error tolerance rate will definitely be minimized.

Tang Zong and Song Zu are a perfect combination, absolutely unparalleled in the world.

Hear the words.

Zhao Da and Li both looked happy.

Then, both of them turned around and looked at the future kings who were sitting in their own parish.

"You all watch carefully!"

Observing the battle to quell the peasant uprising was of great learning significance for both the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the emperor of the Song Dynasty. The Huangchao Uprising in the Tang Dynasty and the Fangla Uprising in the Song Dynasty were both vigorous and vigorous.

"Master Immortal, I won't go this time. I will stay here to supervise the students and watch the battle carefully."

Abiao frowned and spoke bluntly.

Xue Babiao voluntarily gave up the opportunity to go to Chongzhen and the Ming Dynasty to attend the battle in person, which made the warlike kings Wuzong Zhu Houzhao and Xianzong Zhu Jianshen in the audience feel itchy in their hearts.

He said: Brother Dabiao, don’t give it to me!

"Alright."

Ji Boying nodded slightly.

This battle is of great learning value. If there is no one on site to supervise these Zhujiacun emperors, they may start fighting crickets again.

Turning around, he glanced at the group of princes and princes sitting under the stage.

After thinking for a moment, he spoke.

"After observing this battle, each person will write an article about their feelings after watching the battle. The content must have their own opinions and innovative ideas. They will write it after class. After writing, they will go back to their own time and space."

One word fell.

The relaxed and joyful expressions on the faces of these emperors and princes of Zhujiacun changed instantly. They have to write essays even though they have nothing to eat? !

Chinese teacher, please be a human being!

However, no one dared to say anything, and no one dared to express any objection to the immortal master's arrangement.

After all, after the news of Lao Wanli's expulsion was announced just now, everyone is still feeling scared.

Because they know it very well.

What is called here is being fired.

It’s not just losing the qualification to attend classes at Hongwu Zuixian Tower, it also means losing the throne!

"All deaf?!"

Abiao's sharp eyes swept across the Zhu family under the stage and he shouted.

Since becoming the Immortal Master's assistant, Abiao's prestige in the class has skyrocketed, and now he can replace Lao Zhu, the great ancestor, and directly scold these descendants of the Yan clan.

hum.

Under the scolding, all the people in the audience straightened their backs and all claimed that it was true.

This scene fell into the eyes of the Tangjiabao and Zhaojiazhuang people in the outer diocese, and they all had a look of gloating in their eyes, and they were secretly glad that they didn't have to write.

"You also have to write."

“And I have to write two!”

Zhao Da and Li Er glanced at their paralysis. The moment the words came into their ears, the happy smiles on the faces of the group froze.

The idea of ​​Emperor Tang Zong and Song Zu was very simple. You are already so far behind, so you must work harder! Start with double the specifications! This is your ancestors’ love expectation for you!

The place for lesson plans.

Ji Boying took another sip of Da Hong Pao.

"Set off."

The tea cup in hand settled.

Swish.

Ji Boying took Lao Zhu, Zhu Laosi, Zhao Da Li Er, and Tianqi Li Zicheng and disappeared into the main hall of Zuixian Tower.

Simultaneously.

The scenery in the main hall changes rapidly, following Ji Boying and others.

Everyone's eyes were sizing up.

Only Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian was lying alone on the table, looking gloomy. He originally wanted to join him in the battle, but he didn't dare to open his mouth.

Carrying the title of King of Subjugation, he was already frightened.

..............................

Chongzhen time and space.

Forbidden City, Fengtian Palace.

At this moment, in the middle of the hall, there was a large sand table with a length of two feet and a width of two feet. Tianshun Emperor Zhu Qizhen and Wang Yangming were standing beside the table, discussing the situation of the Kaifeng war on the sand table.

Swish.

Six figures, accompanied by the slightest breeze, appeared on the edge of the sand table.

"Meet the Immortal Master, Grandpa Taizu, Grandpa Taizong."

"Meet the Immortal Master, Emperor Taizu Gao, Emperor Taizong Wen."

Tianshun Emperor Zhu Qizhen and Wang Yangming quickly saluted.

"Ah."

Lao Zhu took the lead and nodded, his eyes immediately falling on the sand table in front of him.

His brows suddenly furrowed.

The eyes of Zhu Laosi, Zhao Da and Li Er were also directed at the sand table. They were all masters who had been fighting wars for many years and used force to rule the country. Of course, they were no strangers to the sand table.

Tianqi Li Zicheng silently closed his eyes.

An excellent and enlightened young man knows what he can and cannot see, and he can wait patiently for the boss's arrangements without knowing anything else.

As for Ji Boying.

Forgive the immortal master for speaking frankly, the immortal master really doesn't understand it.

The layout of a real sand table formation is far more delicate and complex than what is depicted in movies and TV shows.

In the eyes of a serious military novice like Ji Boying, this sand table is nothing more than a pile of sand with some piled model marks, but in the eyes of Lao Zhu, Li Er, Zhao Da and other military strategists and strategists who have dominated China for thousands of years, In his eyes, this sand table is a living map.

At a glance, the terrain, mountains, cities, rivers, and how the army attacks and defends in these environments are all as if they are on the scene.

"Tell me about the current situation."

Lao Zhu frowned slightly. Emperor Tianshun Zhu Qizhen nodded slightly, and then started to introduce the sand table based on it.

Point your hand towards a place not far from Kaifeng City.

"Zhuxian Town."

Hearing this, Ji Boying frowned slightly.

This place name sounds a bit familiar.

"Five days ago, Li Zicheng surrounded Kaifeng."

As Emperor Tianshun said these words, Ji Boying's eyes narrowed slightly.

He just moved the time for ten days. He didn't expect that King Li Chuang of the Chongzhen Ming Dynasty would be so impatient, and his movements were really too fast. From the day when Lao Zhu met King Li Chuang, the time before and after was just After five days, the three-dimensional Kaifeng campaign was launched so quickly, far exceeding the prior estimate.

Obviously, this was stimulated by Lao Zhu.

"continue."

Lao Zhu nodded slightly and his eyes fell on Zhuxian Town.

"After Kaifeng was besieged, I immediately issued an order to order nearby armies to rush for reinforcements. The most important one was Zuo Liangyu's tribe, with a total of 170,000 troops."

"The armies are now meeting at Zhuxian Town."

"My order to them is to form a pincer attack with the defenders in Kaifeng City against Li Chuang's rebel army and achieve a quick victory."

"Ah."

Hearing this, Lao Zhu and Zhu Laosi nodded slightly.

Zhu Qizhen's operational arrangement was not wrong.

"In addition, Sun Chuanting's new army is stationed in Tongguan. I have ordered him to train his army day and night and not to leave the pass for a short time."

"Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chengzong are also raising new armies respectively."

"The issue of military expenditures has been resolved for the time being. In the past five days, a total of 15.37 million taels of silver have been received from our relatives and nobles. There is no need to worry about military expenditures in the short term."

Emperor Tianshun was very logical and explained the general military situation of the Ming Dynasty in Chongzhen.

"In other words, the first battle right now is Zhuxian Town."

After the introduction by Emperor Shun that day, Zhu Laosi frowned slightly and pointed his finger towards the location of Zhuxian Town.

"Well, the teacher and I are waiting for the battle report from Zhuxian Town."

"Theoretically, the army should have left Zhuxian Town by now and started to attack Kaifeng City."

Emperor Tianshun nodded.

"No need to wait."

A voice suddenly came out.

Everyone was stunned and subconsciously looked at the immortal master.

Lao Zhu said subconsciously with doubts in his eyes.

"Brother, why is this?"

"The location of Zhuxian Town is within fifty miles of Kaifeng. As long as you take a short rest, you can launch a fierce attack on Li Zicheng after reorganizing your army, and form a pincer attack with the defenders of Kaifeng City. As long as the layout is proper, the enemy army will not be defeated. Disaster."

"Moreover, even if the bandit army surrounds the point for reinforcements and goes to Zhuxian Town to intercept, the final result will be very different."

Zhao Da and Li Er, who were watching from the side, also nodded slightly.

"I see that your army's position in Zhuxian Town has no other disadvantages except that it is located at the bottom of the river and is easily cut off by the upper stream."

"However, this battle is a quick battle to relieve the siege. After reorganizing the army in Zhuxian Town, a quick attack is the most important thing. It should not be limited by water sources. The most suitable tactics are as Lao Zhu said, with The defenders in the city formed a pincer attack."

"Of course, I have some small suggestions here, that is, send a light cavalry in advance to escort people who are familiar with the Kaifeng City garrison into Kaifeng City and inform the Kaifeng City garrison that reinforcements are coming."

"Because in order to avoid being attacked from the front and back, the enemy must send a message on false days and let the garrison in Kaifeng City hold on."

Li Er made an analysis and said that he was indeed an admiral of Tiance.

In the original historical siege of Kaifeng, Li Zicheng was worried that the Kaifeng defenders would leave the city and form a pincer attack with Zuo Liangyu and other reinforcements, so he ordered his men to change into Ming army uniforms, hold forged Zuo Liangyu's order arrows, and go to the gates of Kaifeng City to shout at the defenders. He said: "The thief will be captured overnight, but we are afraid that he will escape into the city. There are not many soldiers in Bian, so we must guard it tightly and do not leave lightly."

Li Er obviously predicted King Li Chuang's prediction.

Ji Boying did not answer Lao Zhu immediately, his eyes fell on the Zhuxian Town on the sand table, and his thoughts condensed.

‘I see, no wonder this place name feels so familiar. ’

Whenever future generations mention the place name Zhuxian Town, they will immediately think of the two major battles that took place here.

The first battle was in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty.

On the occasion of Yue Fei's fourth Northern Expedition, he defeated the Jin Wushu's Nuzhen forces in Zhuxian Town, and then sent his troops northward to recapture Bianjing, the old capital of the Song Dynasty, making Zhuxian Town famous in history.

Of course, due to various reasons between Wanyangou and Qin Hui, Yue Wumu's victory disappeared under Wanyangou's twelve gold medals.

The second battle is the battle of the late Ming Dynasty.

Zuo Liangyu was defeated in Zhuxian Town, and tens of thousands of his elite troops were lost. He was driven all the way into Xiangyang by Li Zi like a dog in the water, and only then could he save a small life.

As for the whole process of the defeat of Zhuxian Town.

All I can say is that everything is fate.

in the original history.

After Li Zicheng encircled Kaifeng, the armies of the Ming Dynasty that suppressed the rebels gathered in Zhuxian Town. Before the new governor was in place, he was commanded by the warden Ding Qirui before the war.

This was already the last force of the Ming Dynasty in suppressing the rebel army, and most of them were Zuo Liangyu's Zuo family army.

After Li Zicheng heard the news, he immediately decided to leave a part to continue to encircle and seal the city. He personally led the main force to intercept, occupying the favorable terrain of Zhuxian Town and controlling the upper water source.

Theoretically speaking, there is not much difference in the strength of the two sides. Although Li Zicheng's three-dimensional attack on Kaifeng is said to be one million, the main force that can bring interceptions is only 100,000, while the Ming army has as many as 170,000. , even if you lose, it won’t be that miserable.

But the problem lies in the extreme discord within the Ming army.

The generals in Zhuxian Town were all gathered together from various places. The superiors disliked the subordinates, the subordinates looked down on their superiors, and the equals despised each other.

Zuo Liangyu advocated "slow attack". After all, he had been beaten severely by Li Zicheng several times, so it was normal to be afraid.

General Hu Dawei, Fang Guoan and others advocated an early attack to avoid long nights and dreams, and a quick decision should be adopted.

The timid and fearful supervisor Ding Qirui hoped that the Kaifeng defenders would take the initiative to cooperate with the reinforcements and open the city to attack the rebels. However, they did not wait for a long time, so they had to dig trenches, build forts, and build strongholds to protect themselves.

Opinions of all parties could not be unified. Even the highest-ranking supervisor, Ding Qirui, gave an order. Zuo Liangyu, who was always arrogant and looked down upon by the King of Heaven, did not care at all.

They fought over and over again, but in the end there was no unified fighting style, and the army could only stagnate.

After such a delay, what was supposed to be a quick rescue battle turned into a second siege by King Li Chuang in disguise.

However, the target of the siege changed from Kaifeng City to the Ming Army in Zhuxian Town.

In addition, because the rescue force was assembled quickly, it did not carry much military rations.

In this way, Li Zicheng first cut off the upper reaches of the river and cut off the water source of the Ming army in Zhuxian Town. When the Ming soldiers were exhausted and their horses were exhausted and the army had begun to kill horses to satisfy hunger, he suddenly launched an attack on Zuo Liangyu's tribe late one night. onslaught.

Zuo Liangyu was originally afraid of Li Zicheng, and he knew that Li Zicheng was obsessed with killing him.

They offered no resistance at all and broke out of camp in the dark and ran away.

Zuo Liangyu's tribe was the absolute main force of this Ming army. As the Zuo army fled without fighting, the rest of the armies collapsed. The officers and soldiers scrambled to escape, and the situation suddenly got out of hand.

And Zuo Liangyu's guess was correct, it was him that Li Zicheng really wanted to get.

Li Zicheng ignored the others, but dug an extremely long circular trench on Zuo Liangyu's only route to Xiangyang, which was two feet deep and two feet wide, and surrounded for hundreds of miles.

The second-generation King Chuang didn't chase anyone, so he personally led the main force of the Chuang army to pursue Zuo Liangyu, howling and screaming, which made Zuo Liangyu think that Li Zicheng had rabies for a while.

The morale of hundreds of thousands of left army soldiers was depleted and order collapsed. The rear troops rushed into the front troops, and the cavalry trampled on the infantry. Soldiers fell into deep trenches one after another. The long trenches were filled with corpses of left army soldiers. The remaining ones groaned and struggled in vain. The scene was horrific. .

Zuo Liangyu fled to Xiangyang in panic, Ding Qirui led his troops to Guangzhou, and Baoding Governor Yang Wenyue fled to Guide. Hu Dawei, Yang Dezheng and others also fled thousands of miles away and fled for their lives.

This battle at Zhuxian Town ended with the defeat of the Ming army. There was not even a decent battle. Li Zicheng simply lost.

Because of this, Sun Chuanting, who was training in Tongguan, had to bite the bullet.

It was also after this battle that Zuo Liangyu lost most of his elite troops and began to let himself go completely. He did not care about the insurrectionary army or not. He patted his butt and paid no attention to anything. He went directly south to become a separatist warlord. When Chongzhen fell, Zuo Liang The Yu separatist regime in Wuchang and other places claimed to have 800,000 troops, but they completely ignored the court's orders. Whether or not to send troops depended on Zuo Liangyu's own mood.

"Go to Zhuxian Town."

Ji Boying said lightly.

Judging from the time, the Ming army in Zhuxian Town should not have reached the last step yet.

The words fell.

Swish.

The figures of all the people in Fengtian Palace disappeared.

Simultaneously.

Far away in Hongwu time and space, in the main hall of Zuixian Tower, the depressed-looking Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian also disappeared at this moment.

...........................

Zhuxian Town.

The temporary supreme military command room of the Ming Army.

Ding Qirui, the trilateral governor with the highest official position at the scene, is sitting on the command post. On the right is Baoding Governor Yang Wenyue, on the left is General Zuo Liangyu, Shaanxi Commander-in-Chief Hu Dawei, Commander-in-Chief Yang Dezheng, Commander-in-Chief Fang Guoan and others. All the generals.

The entire military meeting was held very quietly, with everyone sitting silently and no one speaking.

The most embarrassing thing is Superintendent Ding Qirui. As the highest-level leader, he has just made a speech to the effect that the situation is urgent now and he hopes you can give more suggestions.

but.

After applauding, no one opened their mouths, and the scene was so awkward.

The reason for not opening his mouth is simple, because Boss Zuo hasn't spoken yet.

Boss Zuo didn't speak, so what others said was in vain.

Although the official position Zuo Liangyu carries is so ordinary among everyone, except for the governor Yang Wenyue and the inspector Ding Qirui who are higher than him, Hu Dawei and other generals are not lower than Zuo Liangyu in terms of status. .

but.

Among the 170,000 Ming troops currently in Zhuxian Town, 150,000 are Zuo Liangyu's Zuo family troops.

The reason why Zuo Liangyu has always been unruly is because the soldiers under his command are all rogue bandits. These people never listen to the court and only recognize him, the boss Zuo, because the boss Zuo can help his brothers. Zuo Liangyu led the troops to grab the swordsmen wherever they went. At best, they were the army, at worst, they were just a group of gangsters.

This is how to support your troops and respect yourself.

Boss Zuo's unruliness is obvious to all the world.

When the Ministry of War asked Zuo Liangyu to hand over his troops to his immediate superior, Xiong Wencan, Zuo Liangyu ignored the order simply because he looked down on Xiong Wencan and blatantly disobeyed the imperial military orders.

During the Sichuan-Shaanxi War in the 13th year of Chongzhen's reign, he directly ignored the orders of his immediate superior, Supervisor Yang Sichang, and directly made Yang Sichang angry to death.

No matter how many superiors he changed or how many superiors moved around, Boss Zuo remained unchanged.

Because even the irritable brother Chongzhen did not dare to punish him and could only coax him.

Even if Boss Zuo was defeated, Chongzhen would still have to grant Zuo Liangyu the title of uncle in the end, because Chongzhen knew very well that Zuo Liangyu would not necessarily listen to his orders, and Zuo Liangyu indeed did not listen.

At the time of the fall of the Ming Dynasty, Zuo Liangyu held a solid 200,000 troops, separatist power in Wuchang and other places, and was truly a native emperor.

During the reign of Emperor Hongguang of the Southern Ming Dynasty, Zuo Liangyu squeezed the finances of the Hongguang court in the name of protecting his family and the country. At that time, the small court of Hongguang earned five million taels of silver a year, and Zuo Liangyu asked for one hundred and eighty taels of silver. With tens of thousands of military expenses, Shi Kefa was almost bald.

Therefore, even though Ding Qirui has the highest official position, the current Ming army commander in Zhuxian Town is actually Zuo Liangyu, because the 150,000 Zuo army only listens to the orders of Zuo Liangyu.

This so-called military meeting can only work if Zuo Liangyu approves it.

"Cough cough."

Boss Zuo suddenly coughed twice.

Suddenly, Supervisor Ding Qirui sat upright in an instant.

"Master Supervisor, don't be nervous, I just have a bad throat."

Zuo Liangyu grinned, and Ding Qirui's neck suddenly turned red.

Hey, I'm just teasing you!
