Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

"Father!" Li Xin's youngest son Wu Chenghao called Wu Shigong crisply, and then snuggled into Wu Shigong's arms and acted like a baby.

When Li Xin and Wu Chengying were under house arrest, of course Li Xin's other two children were also placed under house arrest.And Li Xin's youngest son, Wu Chenghao, was only four years old. He was frightened in this way, so when he saw Wu Shigong, he rushed over to seek comfort.

Wu Shigong hugged Wu Chenghao on his lap to let him sit, stroked the top of his head, and then asked softly: "You are a boy, did you protect your mother and sister this time?"

Wu Chenghao immediately buried himself in Wu Shigong's arms in shame, and refused to come out no matter what.

……

In the evening, Li Xin snuggled into Wu Shigong's arms. She and Wu Shigong chatted about homework, and they talked about Xue Yongli putting her under house arrest. It's just your servant, who dared to commit the crime this time. I also know that he is very important to my husband now, and I know that my husband can't punish him. But I have to warn you more. This time it's not only my wife and Yinger, but others The younger sister and the other children of the husband were all frightened."

"You, you!" Wu Shigong pampered Li Xin's beautiful nose, "Hey! There are some things that cannot be disputed. Fortunately, I am still here this time. If I am not here, blood may flow like a river. I I know what you're thinking. But it really can't. No way! I'll give Lin'er his place, and Ying'er and the others, I'll give them wealth. I don't expect their brothers to have a blind date, at least they can't fight each other! Sometimes, retreat One step at a time, you have to open up this knot in your heart."

"Yeah!" Li Xin nodded obediently, "I'm really a little scared this time."

"It's nothing. As long as I'm here, no one will dare to touch you and Ying'er. Take a good rest. Going home this time, it will be difficult to go out in the future."

"Well! But my husband can't be obsessed with women. The two vixen from Jinling City are still waiting. And the new sister Luo looks like she is going to be the mistress. What is her background? Don't you care about her?" Do you care about her?"

Wu Shigong secretly laughed in his heart.this woman.Sure enough, jealousy overwhelmed everything else. "The gentleman's matter is a bit tricky, it has something to do with my father. Don't take it to heart, keep your own mind! It's best to live in peace. If it's too much, divide the inner house into two places, out of sight and out of mind. Annoying! Don't worry, I have the final say on family matters."

"But you still haven't mentioned those two foxes?"

"|After I come back, I still have to comfort Ruya and Xiuzhu. I'm not free for a while. I'll talk about it later!"

"Men are duplicity!"

"Ha ha!"

……

On the first day of May in the 15th year of Chongzhen, the War Room of the Commander of the Runing Army.

"The order has gone down. The Runing Army will mobilize another [-], and all of them will join the team in the middle of the month. The internal accounting office has also prepared a million taels of silver. To be honest, if our Runing Army doesn't gain anything this time, all of us will Going to beg for food."

Wu Shigong's words caused a burst of laughter from the officers.

"What are we going to do now? It's just one word—wait. Other government troops marched south along the Yellow River. We just want to wait until there is a battle between the government troops and the Shaanxi bandits."

"Three situations: The first is the Shaanxi bandits who are defeated. Then they will definitely flee to the south. Then we will cut off their retreat. To fight for annihilation, the first thing is to kill the two bandits Li and Luo."

"One is evenly matched, then we are going to look for an opportunity to attack and deal a fatal blow to the Shan bandits. Similarly, the priority is to kill Li and Luo bandits."

"The third type is the defeat of the government and the army. According to the deduction of the military commander's battle situation, this kind of possibility is the biggest. Then our troops in Nanyang will be dispatched first. Occupy the entire territory of Nanyang Prefecture as quickly as possible, and join forces with the troops in Junzhou. Form a line. First block the road going south of the Shaanxi thieves. After that, drive the Shaanxi thieves west to Sichuan and Shaanxi or cross the Yellow River to the north and enter Beizhili. If they want to stay in Henan, then we will wipe them out. If they If you leave, you don’t need to fight with all your strength, and give them room to escape.”

"Remember! No matter how we fight! This time we want to control the entire territory of Henan, and we can't let the Shaanxi thieves go south. If there are other officers and soldiers who dare to block our actions, they will also be surrounded and wiped out. We need time, We need land and people, and we can't delay any longer."

"promise!"

"Okay! Now it's up to Director Xue to announce the action orders of the various troops!"

……

Although the Runing Army has decided to go on an expedition, it still stands still for the time being.The action they are preparing this time has two strategies.

The best strategy is to drive away the tigers and devour the wolves, and hope that the Li and Luo coalition forces will completely wipe out the main force of the Ming army led by the supervisor Ding Qirui.After losing this main force of the Ming army, the Ming Dynasty had no mobile forces except for the Jingying in the two capital cities and the mob led by Zuo Liangyu.In future battles, the Runing Army will be able to do whatever they want.

Of course, the best result is to let the Li and Luo coalition forces flee before the Runing army, so that the Li and Luo coalition forces can be used to wipe out the local government of the Ming Dynasty, so that the Runing army can take over smoothly, and at the same time shake the Ming Dynasty This foundation made the imperial court rely more on the Runing Army.

The worst strategy is to wipe out the Li and Luo coalition forces.Although this can wipe out the peasant army, the great enemy vying for the world, it has many disadvantages to the expansion of the Runing army.But Wu Shigong was already ready to force the overlord of the Runing Army to fight hard, but he really couldn't do it, he would not hesitate to take fire and forcibly occupy the whole territory of Henan.

But at this time, the entire Runing Army believed that the main force of the Ming Army, the supervisor Ding Qirui, was still very effective, and it was not much different from the combined forces of Li and Luo.So the result of this battle is basically a lose-lose situation.And the Runing Army has to wait until these two troops are both defeated, and then dispatch to completely eliminate them.

At the same time, on the second day of May, the peasant army besieged Kaifeng for the third time.Li Zicheng set up his headquarters in Yanlizhai, and Luo Rucai stationed himself in Hengdipu.Ding Qirui, governor of Baoding, Yang Wenyue, governor of Baoding, and 18 officers and soldiers including Zuo Liangyu, Hu Dawei, Yang Dezheng, and Fang Guoan, were battling for dozens of miles along the Yellow River, preparing for a decisive battle with the peasant army.

On May [-]th, the vanguard of the official army arrived at Zhuxian Town, and the peasant army temporarily withdrew from Kaifeng, concentrating all its forces on attacking the official army who came to help.In order to prevent the officials and troops in Kaifeng from going out of the city to pursue them, and put the peasant army in a disadvantageous position of being attacked by the enemy, Li Zicheng sent someone to the city with a forged arrow from the Zuo Liangyu Department and shouted: "The thief will be captured soon, but I am afraid that he will sneak into the city." , There are not many Bian soldiers, so we should strictly guard them and not go out lightly." The Kaifeng city didn't know what to do, so it really closed its doors.

The battle in Zhuxian Town has begun. (To be continued..)
