Anti-Qing: Starting from the Reincarnation of the Ming Dynasty

However, the only problem is that although our Gansu and Shaanxi Green Camps in the Qing Dynasty are able to fight, they dare to fight.

But their shortcomings are as prominent as their combat effectiveness!

To put it bluntly, he is poor, stupid, and rather domineering.

A simple translation: There is combat effectiveness, but if you don’t obey the command, you will easily end up having fun after the battle...

It is actually conceivable what a group of poor and scared soldiers will do after having fun.

As a result, Guangping City suffered.

Although Yongyan was determined to control the discipline of the army in order to establish himself as a benevolent and righteous teacher, he was powerless.

These soldiers followed Yongyan from Shaanxi to Zhili, traveling thousands of miles all the way, and fighting the enemy with their lives on the battlefield. To put it bluntly, wasn't it just to get promoted and make a fortune?

But now that the battle is won, if Yongyan dares to stop them from getting rich, do you think they would dare to chop Yongyan off?

Yongyan took a deep look in the direction of Guangping City, slowly exhaled a breath, and said silently in his heart.

"Now we can only suffer for the common people!"

……

Yongping City!

When Guangping was in emergency and Fukang'an led the main force to return to the direction of Guangping, Yongrong seized this golden opportunity and once again sent troops from Shanhaiguan to launch an attack inside the pass.

Yong Rong planned to take advantage of the absence of the main force of the Qing army to quickly capture Yongping City.

Then open the channel for his troops to march into the capital and drive directly to the capital!

Chatai stood at the head of Yongping City and commanded the new eight-banner army defending the city to launch a defense.

"Musket ready!"

"Load, salvo, fire!"

"Continue the second round, fire!"

Bang bang bang bang! Bang bang!

The neat and crisp sound of musket shooting sounded, and a row of gunpowder smoke instantly rose from the top of Yongping City.

The projectiles were pushed out of the gun chamber by the gas generated by the explosion of gunpowder, and densely packed projectiles were shot towards the Qing army that was launching an attack on Yongping City.

In the blink of an eye, a large section of the Qing soldiers under Yong Rong's command who were rushing to the front fell down.

However, such a small number of casualties could not defeat the determination of Yong Rong's Qing army to enter the pass.

They were still shouting to kill, pushing the siege equipment, advancing forward, and launching an ant attack on Yongping City.

Chatai wiped the cold sweat from his face and looked at the enemy troops that were coming in a steady stream, his face full of helplessness and despair.

Because, as more and more enemies entered the battlefield, the troops he had on hand began to become increasingly unable to cope.

Chatai could realize that Yongping City was really about to lose its hold.

Corpses were lying under the city wall. From time to time, people were hit by arrows or shot at the top of the city, and fell from the top of the city.

Corpses in different forms of death were stacked together to form a hill.

Enemy troops began to climb onto the hillocks made of corpses.

As soon as a Qing soldier loyal to Yong Rong appeared, he felt his vision spin. A headless corpse fell backwards and became a member of the pile of corpses.

On the top of the city, before the Qing soldier who beheaded a man with a sword had time to rejoice, an arrow shot through his throat with a pop.

A large amount of blood gushes out from the wound in his throat!

This Qing soldier also fell headlong to the base of the city wall, and also became part of the pile of corpses.

The corpse was soon trampled into pulp by countless feet.

As the fighting continued, Yongping City's defense began to become shaky.

Chatai led his own soldiers to push forward and slashed at an enemy who was climbing the city. The blade penetrated his flesh and blood spurted out on his face.

But Chatai didn't take it seriously at all. He wiped the blood on his face, shouted loudly, and continued to lead people to kill forward.

When the Qing troops guarding the city saw this, their morale was greatly boosted by the leadership of their generals.

However, no matter how high the morale of the army is, it cannot change the situation of strength and weakness on the battlefield.

The balance of the Yongping War is still tilting towards Yongrong's side little by little...

Outside Yongping City, under the banner of the Qing army's central army, Yong Rong, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, looked at the battle situation on the front line with pride in his eyes.

He knew that the fall of Yongping City was imminent!

……

Capital City, Yangxin Palace!

Yonglin kept pacing in the hall, anxiety written on his face.

On the desk behind him, there were two memorials.

The report contains news that Guangping Prefecture in the southwest of Zhili and Yongping Prefecture in the northeast have fallen one after another.

After reading these two urgent reports, Yonglin was now filled with anxiety.

Although Yong Rong and Yong Yan do not have an alliance on the surface, they are tacitly understanding the matter against Yong Lin.

The two parties attacked Zhili's territory from the southwest and northeast respectively at almost the same time.

Attack Yonglin from both sides!

Although it is not a big problem for the main force of the Qing army in Fukang'an's hands to defeat one of them, it would be another matter if the troops were divided.

However, if Fukang'an does not divide its troops, Yonglin's fronts in the northeast and southwest will definitely collapse.

Therefore, Yonglin is currently in a dilemma.

In panic, the young man lost his sense of proportion and had no idea how to deal with the current situation.

On the side, Li Shiyao, Qing Gui and others were also lowering their heads in deep thought, thinking about countermeasures.

Suddenly, Li Shiyao raised his head and said.

"Your Majesty, I have a plan that may be able to break the current predicament!"

When Yong Lin heard this, his eyes were frighteningly bright, and the expression on his face instantly became full of expectation, and he hurriedly asked.

"If the Qing family has a plan, please tell me quickly!" "If it is really effective, I will not hesitate to reward you!"

When Li Shiyao saw this, he did not speak directly, but spoke.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty, otherwise I will not dare to tell you!"

Hearing this, Yong Lin frowned subconsciously, but still spoke.

"As far as the Qing family is concerned, I am by no means the kind of foolish king who sins because of his words."

The current situation is really unfavorable for Yonglin.

Therefore, the only one who dared to speak and offer advice at this time was regarded as a life-saving straw by Yonglin.

It is precisely because of this that Yonglin is inevitably a little anxious now.

But no matter what, the current Yonglin will not do anything like a sinner.

After Li Shiyao heard this, he dared to speak.

"Your Majesty, the slave's method mainly consists of two strategies."

"As an emperor, you will remove your imperial title, then lead your troops to withdraw from the capital, and get rid of the hot potato that is the capital."

"The second is that after the emperor withdrew from the capital, he led his troops westward to Shanxi, focusing on managing Shanxi's territory, and then sat back and watched Yongrong and Yongyan fight."

The biggest reason for Yonglin's current predicament is that he is now the Qing Emperor, and he is still the Qing Emperor occupying the capital.

In this case, he will naturally become the target of public criticism among all the princes and elder brothers who have ambitions to compete for the world.

Once Yonglin resigned from the imperial title, he withdrew from the capital.

The situation in the Qing Civil War will suddenly change.

From now on, Yonglin will no longer be the target of public criticism, and will no longer be besieged.

And the huge bait in the capital will become the biggest conflict between Yong Rong and Yong Yan.

Once a war breaks out between Yong Rong and Yong Yan for the capital, then Yong Lin may have a chance to make a comeback.

Retreating to Shanxi was a helpless move.

If the main force of Yonglin's unit continues to stay in Zhili, no matter how tempting the lure of the capital is, Yongyan and Yonglin will not fight.

The two of them still understand the simplest principle of snipe and clam competing for the fisherman's profit.

However, if Yonglin quits Zhili, it will be another matter.

No matter who Yong Rong or Yong Yan is, they will not allow each other to occupy the key point of the capital.

When the time comes, the two of them will inevitably have to have a fight.

The reason why Li Shiyao suggested Yonglin go to Shanxi instead of Shandong.

There are many reasons for this. Firstly, Shanxi's topography, the rivers and mountains inside and outside, and the world are in a good position. It has a commanding position over almost the entire north, making it absolutely easy to defend but difficult to attack.

The second reason is that there are those fat sheep of Shanxi merchants in Shanxi, and Yonglin can drain them dry to raise troops.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to raise an army that could dominate the world with just the financial resources of one province.

The third reason is that Shanxi is backed by Mongolia. If Yonglin occupies Shanxi, he can form an alliance with Yongxuan in the direction of Suiyuan to deal with the pressure from Yongrong and Yongyan back to back.

Of course, these reasons are all at the bottom.

The real reason is that Shanxi is far away from Daming's control area, and it would be safer for Yonglin to stay in Shanxi.

Even if Ming Dynasty launched the Northern Expedition, there would still be people to stop him.

But if Yonglin goes to Shandong, he will be the first to bear the brunt of the Ming army's Northern Expedition.

When the time comes, it will be Yonglin who blocks the knife for others!

It can be said that the strategy proposed by Li Shiyao took everything into consideration.

However, even so, when Li Shiyao finished speaking, there was still a wave of opposition.

"Bold! Li Shiyao, are you not afraid of death?"

"Li Shiyao, as a slave, you have to be a slave. How can you say anything about the throne?"

"Your Majesty, please kill Li Shiyao as a warning to the world!"

"..."

Seeing this, Li Shiyao said nothing because he also knew that what he said was actually taboo.

This is why he first asked Yonglin to forgive his innocence before he dared to offer advice.

After listening to Li Shiyao's advice, Yonglin touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

After suddenly hearing Li Shiyao's suggestion that he abdicate, Yonglin was indeed quite angry.

He even had the urge to drag Li Shiyao out and chop him down.

But soon, he realized that what Li Shiyao said made sense.

Based on the situation he is facing now, it may be the best choice to abdicate and lead his troops to retreat to Shanxi.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to deal with Yongyan and Yongrong's attacks, right?

Instead of staying in the capital and wasting strength, it is better to lead the troops to retreat to Shanxi for the future!

Taking a deep breath, Yonglin asked.

"What's the situation in Shanxi now?"

Qinggui on the side heard the words and spoke.

"Going back to the emperor, the situation in Shanxi is also more complicated now. Governor Yongxuan of Suiyuan has led his troops to occupy Datong. The governor of Shanxi and the admiral of Shanxi can only lead their troops to retreat to Taiyuan."

"Moreover, due to the influx of a large number of disaster victims in the southeastern part of Shanxi Province, riots have occurred frequently, and now it has become a mess." (End of this chapter)
