The room goes through the late Ming Dynasty, and the back door leads to North America at the beginni

In the understanding of Zhang Guowei and the others, the Liaoxi generals, Guan Ningjun, etc. had been fighting with the Jiannu for ten or twenty years. They had a blood feud and would not surrender to the Jiannu easily.

In addition, although there is no talk of subjugating the world at this time, there are differences between Chinese and foreigners and Han and captives.

Therefore, it is really surprising that Wu Sangui did not surrender Li Shun, who was regarded as a Han dynasty (although Li Zicheng recognized the Xixia people as his ancestors, but he was actually still a Han family), but instead surrendered to Jiannu, who was obviously a Tartar force.

Probably Li Zicheng did not expect that Wu Sangui would surrender to Jian Nu, so he neglected his precautions and was attacked by Jian Nu during the fierce battle between the two armies.

Wang Gongbi was the first to come to his senses and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, now that Jiannu has defeated the Shun army, and Li Zicheng has abandoned the capital and fled westward, it is very likely that Jiannu will take the opportunity to occupy the capital and even peek into the Central Plains!"

To curb the establishment of slaves, Da'ei must send troops north as soon as possible. If you fight for an extra inch of land now, you will have more confidence in resisting the slave establishment in the future. Your Majesty, please make a decision as soon as possible! "

Although Zeng Ying came back to her senses later, she was even more anxious, "Your Majesty, the capital is the capital of the Yuan and Ming dynasties, and it must not be given to Jiannu.

If a slave takes over the capital, he may usurp the great righteousness of the former Ming Dynasty, strive for hegemony in the Central Plains, and repeat the story of the Jin and Yuan dynasties enslaving the people of the Central Plains. We must be careful! "

After a series of battles between Shandong and the Shun Army, Zhang Guowei had completely lost confidence in his military knowledge and abilities, but at this time he couldn't help but make suggestions.

"Your Majesty, Li Zicheng fled westward from the capital in a hurry, and he must have no time to take care of Hejian Prefecture and Shandong. If Damei takes this opportunity to send troops, he will be able to quickly occupy all of Lu, and even have the opportunity to enter Beizhi.

With the land of Lu, Yu, and Hebei as a buffer, Dawei could compete with Jiannu, and would not cause Jiannu to harm the people south of the Yellow River! "

Seeing that the three of them were so worried about Jiannu's defeat of the Shun army and taking the opportunity to enter the pass, Liu Sheng couldn't help but be a little moved.

He said with a smile: "You three don't have to worry, I am determined to unify the world, how can I miss this opportunity?

In addition, Jiannu is ambitious and has been coveting the Central Plains for a long time. I also know it.

Not to mention that they entered the customs to steal the capital and peek into the Central Plains. Even if not, in the future I will send generals to bring troops to defeat Jiannu and regain the Liao land! "

When Liu Sheng said these words, his tone was confident and firm, fully demonstrating his ambition and making Zhang Guowei and the others feel relieved.

Wang Gongbi reminded again: "Since your Majesty has this intention, you should know that troops need to be quick. The later the troops are sent, the more places Jiu Nu will be able to take advantage of."

Liu Sheng nodded, "I know that I will make an order to send troops to the Northern Expedition later after formulating a troop dispatch plan with the Minister of Military Affairs."

Although Wang Gongbi and others were worried, they also knew that this was all they could say about the matter.

So they all bowed to each other and said, "I'll take my leave."

Liu Sheng nodded and watched Zhang Guowei and others exit Tianxin Palace.

As for the detailed discussion with Zhang Guowei on how to manage the Huanghuai waters, Liu Sheng could only leave it to later. It was obviously more urgent to agree to send troops for the Northern Expedition at the moment.

"Pass an order to convene the counselor of the Military Academy, the chief officers of various departments, and the minister of military aircraft to the Wuying Hall for a meeting!"

"As ordered!"

This important military meeting lasted for several hours.

It's not that there is any dispute, but there are many decisions to be made before sending troops to the Northern Expedition. It is not like in later games, where Liu Sheng slaps his forehead and gives an order, and the army can go out.

For example, based on Da'ei's previous military deployment in the north, even if local defense tasks are handed over to the garrison and civilian warriors, currently only the Second Division of the Standing Army and several independent brigades stationed in Henan, Huainan, and Shandong can be mobilized.

These troops add up to only more than 70,000 soldiers and horses.

If we want to launch the Northern Expedition against Shandong and Beizhili, these more than 70,000 troops are more than enough to serve as the vanguard, but they are too few to serve as the main force. Therefore, Liu Sheng decided to lead part of the Guards and a Nanjing garrison division northward, and also joined the Northern Expedition and served as the main force.

In addition, the garrison in Shandong and other places has been established recently, and whether it has the ability to guard the place also needs to be considered.

It also needs to be considered whether the existing armaments and provisions in Da'ei are sufficient to support a Northern Expedition with an army of one to two hundred thousand troops.

But on that day, Liu Sheng still issued the order to send troops to the Northern Expedition, and sent a message to Ruyang via telegram, and then asked Ruyang to quickly inform the Second Division of the Standing Army, the 14th Independent Brigade, the 16th Brigade, the 17th Brigade and other units , let them send troops to attack Yanzhou and Qingzhou first.

Finally, Liu Sheng did not forget to ask the Tongzhengyuan and Xunfengwei to use their strength to publicize the fact that the Shun army was defeated by Jiannu in Yiyishi and that Li Zicheng abandoned the capital and fled.

Although in terms of time, Shandong and other places should have heard the news in the past few days, but some people may not believe it, and ordinary people may not know it either.

So some publicity is still necessary.

Speaking of which, today's Northern Expedition in Da'ei, which initially targets the Shun army, seems a bit like the historical behavior of the Southern Ming Dynasty in "alliance with the captives to destroy the bandits", but in fact it is completely different.

The main purpose of the Wei army was to go to the north to fight against the slaves, but the Shun army happened to be in the middle, so the Wei army easily eliminated them - not necessarily to attack and destroy them, but if possible, they should recruit and surrender a lot.

Moreover, Liu Sheng discussed with Li Banghua, Zhu Dadian and others that since Li Zicheng gave up the capital and fled westward, he would probably shrink his troops and strengthen the defenses of Shanxi and Shaanxi.

Therefore, the Shun troops in Shandong, North Zhili, and Henan and Hebei areas are likely to be ordered to evacuate directly.

If this happens, the Yi army's vanguard troops heading north can directly take over the city abandoned by the Shun army.

If the Shun army in Shandong and other places did not want to withdraw and tried their best to conceal the defeat of the Shun army and Li Zicheng's flight to the west for the sake of stable rule, then Da'ei's propaganda could expose them.

This further caused them to lose confidence in their rule and make the choice to abandon the city and flee, or even change their banner and surrender.

……

The sixth day of November.

Xuzhou.

The Second Division of the Standing Army, in the division commander's tent.

Peng Youyi took the military order he had just received and couldn't help laughing: "Our Second Division finally has a big battle to fight and a great achievement to make!"

This military order was urgently sent by telex from Liubaili in Ruyang.

A few months ago, after Liu Sheng ascended the throne and assigned Yang Heqing, Helianyue and others the task of conquering Sichuan, Guangdong and Guangxi, Peng Youyi was extremely envious.

Unexpectedly, only about four months had passed, and it would be his turn to fight a big battle.

"If things go well this time, the Second Division can not only capture Jinan and Dongchang Prefectures, but can even enter Hejian Prefecture and even Shuntian Prefecture.

Then there might be a chance to seize the capital from Jiannu! "

Thinking of this, Peng Youyi waved his hand and said loudly: "Send my military order! Call all generals above the regimental level to come to a meeting!"

The so-called regiment level and above refers to brigade-level generals such as regiment commanders and above.

This was definitely a military meeting that would only be held when there was a major military operation. Therefore, the generals of the Second Division, Brigade and Regiment received notices from the guards and rushed to the Second Division headquarters as quickly as possible. (End of chapter)
