Traveling through the Ming Dynasty, as soon as you open your eyes, you will die

Chapter 272 Farewell
On the tenth day of March, Li Zicheng began to mobilize 200,000 elite soldiers from all over the country and gathered in the capital of Wuchang. Li Guo was the commander, and Liu Fangliang was his deputy. Attack Tongguan and recover Shaanxi.

As soon as he moved, Zhang Huangyan led the 40,000 Jiangnan Group Army in his hands, and with the cooperation of the remaining Ming troops in various places in the hands of Wei Guogong, launched an attack on the area occupied by Li Chuang.

Zhang Shenyan's commander, Gao Jie, led the reorganized Jiangbei Group Army out of Xuzhou, and with the cooperation of the Jiangnan Navy, launched an all-out attack on South Zhili. The target is directly at Suqian, the first strategic target, Fengyang Mansion, the central capital.

At this time, Zhang Xianzhong's Li Jinzhong led 30,000 troops out of Sichuan, attacked Guanzhong, and launched a fierce battle with the Yingshou Mountain Division of the Eighth Army.

As soon as the fighting started there, Shizhu's Mrs. Qin launched an attack on Shizhu's neighbor Fengdu, shouting to recapture Chongqing Mansion, so Zhang Xianzhong had to deal with it with all his strength.

On the Manchu and Qing side, the first to attack was the Mengxi Turhut tribe.

He was maimed in the last battle, and his vitality has not yet recovered. However, Dorgon's pressure was so tight that he could only piece together 50,000 more cavalry to launch an attack on the Ming Dynasty front line of the North Great Wall.

As soon as he moved here, Zu Dashou immediately sent his adopted son Zukefa to command 50,000 Mongolian troops and launched an attack on him. The two sides came and went on the prairie, catching and killing each other. Zukefa ensured that Shaanxi in the north of the Ming Dynasty was safe. Shanxi's safety.

At the same time, after the North Korean army merged with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Yu Minzhong's fleet began to dispatch. The sword pointed at the capricious North Korea.

Zhao Youhu also began to prepare troops to go out of Shanhaiguan to annihilate Zu Dale in Jinzhou. Capture Jinzhou and then march out of Liaohe River.

During this time of great chaos, two million Qing troops and civilians marched thousands of miles to the Great Wall in early April.

This time the Qing army was led by Duo Zai, Fan Wencheng was a soldier, and Anfei Yanggu was the food superintendent. All the elites came out, and they were bound to win.

The long and fierce battle to defend the Great Wall has officially begun.

After more than three months of preparations, the war officially started. Initially, everything was proceeding in an orderly manner according to the original plan.

The actions of all parties cooperated completely smoothly, and Jiangnan Mongolia no longer worried. Now, the main battlefield, the Great Wall Defense Line, will also officially begin.

Lu Mou faced Li Yan: "You sit in Beijing and coordinate the overall situation. I will go to the front line of the Great Wall to personally supervise the battle and command."

Li Yan nodded: "You go ahead, I'm here, I guarantee there won't be any trouble."

Lu Mou tilted his head: "The front line is dangerous, but you didn't take the initiative to take responsibility, but left me, the noble prince, there. Do you think you did it appropriately?"

Li Yan said calmly: "If you are in danger on the front line, will it be safe for you to sit in the back? In that case, you will not be safe anywhere in the Ming Dynasty.

It's better for you to go there. At least the soldiers you brought out with your own hands will fight to the death for your safety when they see you beside them. When the rear sees you on the front line, they don't dare to slack off in support operations. But if I go, I am not from a good background, and I cannot control those arrogant soldiers. If someone with ulterior motives wants to kill me with a borrowed knife, it will be a big deal. "

Lu Mou held his chin and pretended to think for a moment: "What you said seems to make sense. I am safe among hundreds of thousands of troops. You are not a good character and there are many people who want to harm you. Don't let others kill people just to borrow a knife. By the way, It screwed me up."

"As long as you understand it. The battle on the front line is about to break out. Go quickly and don't send me away."

After leaving the Ministry of War, which he had not left for a full month, Lu Mou walked into the Forbidden City, which he had not been able to enter for a long time, bid farewell to his brother in power, and prepared to go to the Great Wall to supervise the battle in person.

In the imperial study room, he met Zhu Cixiang. When they met, Lu Mou was shocked. During this short period of time, my brother lost weight, quite severely. Not only that, Zhu Cixi's already protruding cheekbones were covered with the kind of eerie crimson color that shocked Lu Mou. And always a violent dry cough.

This made Lu Mou yell that it was not good because Zhu Cixiang fainted from the injection, so he did not take the injection booster like his father Chongzhen did in the later period. This was a sign that the tuberculosis had recurred, and even if it did not occur, it would have been calcified in a large area.

"Brother, what's wrong with you? How come you're like this after not seeing me for a month?"

Zhu Cixi blocked his mouth with his fist. After coughing violently for a while, he took the water from the little eunuch's hand and took a sip. He took a breath and said, "It's not a problem. The imperial doctor said, it's not consumption, it's just infection." It’s just the cold.”

Lu Mou frowned. He was about to go on an expedition. He needed his brother's full control inside. He must not fall ill. "The imperial doctor has prepared some medicine."

"After taking it and drinking it every day, I feel much better than before. But it takes a while to get sick like a mountain and go away like a thread."

Lu Mou wanted to persuade his brother to rest, but now was a critical moment. No matter how he could rest, his persuasion would be in vain.

"Brother, are you here for something urgent?"

During this time, Lu Mou was out arranging army supplies, and it was a busy day and he couldn't catch anyone. Come today, there must be something urgent.

"Brother, the war is in full swing. Zhang Xianzhong was blocked in Shaanxi, and Li Chuang in Henan also fought to the gates of Tongguan City. Fortunately, Tongguan is naturally dangerous and there is nothing wrong with it.

Zhang Shenyan, the commander of Jiangnan's army, began to counterattack Li Chuang. Those places brother, please don't worry. The Manchu and Qing soldiers arrived at the Great Wall, and Beigukou was the main battlefield. Brother, I am going to the front line to supervise the division. Brother—" He hesitated for a moment, then looked at his thin and thin body: "The government and the logistics of my army must be guaranteed by my brother. "

Zhu Cixiang braced himself and pretended to be energetic: "Don't worry. I have assigned guards to guard Dongchang in various war-related departments. You are the master of the guards, and they dare not slack off. I will also send Our younger brother specializes in local support for frontline issues, and officials from various places dare not neglect it. "

Lu Mou breathed a sigh of relief: "Since Zhou Xiang has arranged this, I'm relieved, brother. I should also take some time to rest and recuperate."

Zhu Cixi smiled and said: "Don't worry about this. Before the war started, there were so many things to worry about. But when the war really started, there weren't so many things to worry about. On the contrary, brother, when you go to the front line, you have to be more careful and command the troops. Stay away from the front line." Then he coughed and muttered a thousand instructions, showing his love and worry.

Such instructions made Lu Mou's nose feel sore. He saw that it was getting late, stood up, and took his brother's hand: "If it doesn't work, just give him a few more injections. Don't be afraid. Recovery is the key. Remember, the Ming Dynasty needs you. Brother, I need you. To ensure a strong body, we brothers will work together to defeat Sihe and revive the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Cixiang also took his brother's hand and nodded solemnly: "Yes, brother, I want to help you calm the world and realize the grand occasion of all nations coming to court. Let's work hard together."

Zhu Cixiang kept sending his brother to the Meridian Gate. He could not send him any more. Any further sending would be against the rules. He could only stand within the horizontal line of the Meridian Gate and wave to Lu Mou reluctantly.

Lu Mou flew up on his horse in the Meridian Gate Square. When he looked back again, his brother's thin body seemed to be a lone grass in the huge doorway, and was shaken by the draft of the doorway.

At this time, Lu Mou hesitated. Should he go to the front line in person, replace Li Yan and sit in the capital to help his brother handle state affairs and let him rest?
Seemingly sensing Lu Mou's thoughts, Zhu Cixi waved his hand: "Don't worry, go and come back early."

This simple sentence is full of the family's worries and blessings for the traveler.

Lu Mou suppressed tears, nodded fiercely, and then mentioned Dahei, led Dabai and three hundred guards, rushed to the Great Wall, and rushed to the front line.
