Dragon Soul in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 127

But Zhu Gan didn't finish, he came down, patted Qin Liangcheng who was kneeling on the ground, and said with a smile: "You are from Sichuan, so you have to think about the people of Sichuan, these Qiuba, if they are a little proud, their tails will stick up Oh, you! Please forgive me if you have anything to do. You are a wolf character. You were tired from training, and now you are a military judge. Don’t tire yourself out. Pay attention to your sense of proportion.”

Is this a beating or an encouragement to him? Listening to Zhu Gan's ambiguous words, Qin Liangcheng couldn't figure out what Zhu Gan meant, and he didn't know how many unkind eyes were gazing at his back, like a light on his back, nodding repeatedly in agreement. .

"Okay, now it's time to talk about the main points. There are three most important things." Zhu Qian's eyes were like swords, and he seemed to be examining everyone. His voice was a little higher, and he stretched out a finger and said, "We are running around in front of you." , so there is only one enemy, not the Ming court, that is ourselves, and now we plan to settle down, the number of enemies has increased, there are Ming court, there are bandits, and even ourselves."

"The first thing is to pull out all the infantry battalions with four prefixes for me to conduct mountain combat training and siege training. The daily training is doubled, and the generals are doubled..." After saying this When they came out, everyone in command of the infantry battalion complained, isn't this killing people?

During the march for more than a month, because the whereabouts could not be revealed, the red-clothed soldiers basically never went ashore, and they stayed on the ship, so they couldn't train. Now they suddenly doubled the amount of training. Wouldn't that kill them? ?But looking at Zhu Qian's resolute expression, he only dared to complain.

"The second thing is that the Shenji Battalion is not only about manipulating firecrackers, artillery, etc., but also learning to manoeuvre ships. This time, the siege of Kuizhou must not be ignored easily. We must mobilize Qin Liangyu and make him exhausted. We will go directly up the river and go directly to Chongqing Mansion, and then we will meet the Chongqing navy, they are familiar with the geographical location, it will definitely be a fierce battle, so cheer me up."

Zhu Gan revealed his next battle plan, which made many people think in their hearts. Most of their fleets are sea-going ships. For a period, it must be very difficult.

Therefore, the battle with the Chongqing government's navy is not the main event. I am afraid that the real purpose is to mobilize Qin Liangyu to return to the army. Then there will definitely be people here to fight back. The ones left will definitely be an army that is good at defending the city. Sometimes you will miss a lot of opportunities to make contributions.

I prayed in my heart, but it must not be myself.

"The third thing is that when we meet the chieftain here to negotiate with us in the future, you must not be negligent in the slightest, and treat me with delicious food and drink." Zhu Gan almost gritted his teeth, thinking It is obviously impossible to swallow the hatred, and there must be a huge conspiracy to appease the chieftain now.

Everyone looked at Zhu Qian's appearance and nodded in agreement, not daring to disobey the slightest.

Zhang Yan fell ill, and the entire palace was in chaos, as if the backbone had suddenly been lost. The old doctors from the imperial hospital rushed to visit Zhang Yan, but no one could find out what the cause was.

The [-]th Regiment Battalion, which had been on the road and never reached its destination, came back at an unbelievable speed. At this time, Zhang Yan, who was sick, did not look like a sick tiger at all, but like a madman. The minister dared to go against her will, and her madness made the courtiers choose to retreat temporarily and wait and see.

But before they could launch an attack, a piece of news from Jiangnan almost made them vomit blood with anger. However, his offensive was as fast as thunder, making it dizzying.

We must know that the price of rice is the foundation of all things. People can temporarily have no tea and salt, but they cannot live without rice. Once the price of rice rises sharply, it will be a sign of extinction.

The people in several counties and towns 'rebelled', not because of the skyrocketing price of rice and no food to eat, but because of an absurd reason, that is, the imperial court did not keep its promises, and there was no money promised. They were recruited but not released, so they had to give them an explanation.

If this is normal, there is no busy farming in winter, and it can be passed with a delay. Unexpectedly, the people will turn around when they are free when there is no busy farming.

At this time, the queen who controlled the government fell ill again, and they had no scapegoat, so they had to go into battle naked. After all, the south was where their foundation was, and they must not be destroyed in the slightest.

The cause of all this was the negligence of Zheng Yuguan, the right servant of the Ministry of War. Youqian capital censor, governor Xuanfu, Datong, and Shanxi military affairs should belong to him. Although it is a bit late, it is still his.

Seeing the seven years of Chongzhen and the flames of war everywhere, it just passed by bumps and bumps!

Because of the appearance of the Red Clothes Army, farmers have also undergone great changes in history. Zhang Xianzhong was supposed to raise troops to invade Sichuan, but Qin Liangyu’s reputation as a white-armed soldier frightened him back, but at this time because of the cooperation of Hong Chengchou and Chen Qiyu, one master and one assistant , He insisted on dragging the peasant army to Henan and other places, and could not escape.

The Xingyang General Assembly was also held ahead of schedule, and the location remained unchanged, but because of the encirclement and suppression by the government and army, many people were missing. Although it was said that 36 companies and the 72nd Battalion had gathered, there were actually not so many people at all, only about [-] people. Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang was the leader.

Li Ziben should have proposed to enter Zhongdu, but because the red army has occupied Fengyang City, if we go at this time, this journey will definitely make the officers and soldiers vigilant, make it difficult, and the political meaning will no longer be so beneficial , after all, something that has been worn once by someone, and then worn a second time, will make people feel like following suit.

But Li Zicheng is still the capable Chuang Wang after all, and his strategy is still the same strategy. The soldiers entered Fengyang, the central capital, to do inhuman things and dare to think about other people's feelings.

He expressed some opinions that others can't think of, but the most profound one is that although the south was looted once by the red army, it is a prosperous place after all, and there is chaos everywhere. The south is a road of the peasant army. survive.

Zhang Xianzhong put forward the idea of ​​entering Hanzhong, exiting the pass and entering Sichuan, but everyone knows that two tigers cannot be accommodated in one mountain. I am afraid that such a strong red-clothed army will go. Whose orders should they listen to? It will be annexed by the Red Army, so no one will mention it.

Even Zhang Xianzhong, who proposed this plan, remained silent. He would rather have a head than a phoenix tail. They are the bosses in the peasant army, why should they be the second son? It depends on people's faces.

But what they don't know is that they are afraid that if they really go to Sichuan, it's not just as simple as being annexed, but they may be completely wiped out by Zhu Gan. confrontation.

The peasants made a plan to go south, but they also needed other forces to restrain the officers and soldiers, and to resist Hong Chengchou and Chen Qiyu, two fierce men who complemented each other. They also drew lots according to the historical practice!History seems to have returned to its track. The same three-way army came out together, and the leaders who went south to Fengyang were also: Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, and Zhang Xianzhong.

Maybe this is the inevitability that is accidentally hidden under the history, maybe they cheated from the beginning to the end, but who can control it at this time!

Traveling in three ways, one way to the west to resist the official army, one way to Huguang, and one way to Fengyang, since the Xingyang Conference, the world has been surging.
