Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Of course, if Tang Mei can be rescued, the Runing Army will be happy to see it.And after Tang Mei arrives in Runing, she will be rewarded with a huge sum of money, and can support Tang Mei for the rest of her life.After all, the Runing Army is not short of these silvers.However, Fu Wenzhai's Propaganda Department will of course focus on Tang Mei and write a big article to promote the virtues of "righteousness", "loyalty" and "love" of the Runing Army, and spread them widely.

However, after thousands of calculations, no one could figure out that Zuo Liangyu had forgotten about Tang Mei.When Tang Mei fell into Zuo Liangyu's hands, there were many twists and turns, and Zuo Liangyu didn't know her relationship with the Runing Army at all.In addition, the current Tang Mei is just an abandoned woman who is far away from Zuo Liangyu's sight, so Zuo Liangyu can't remember this person at all. Therefore, Zuo Liangyu's request to the Runing Army is really a little confusing.

In desperation, Zuo Liangyu had no choice but to personally send someone to inquire about it, and only after inquiring did he find out: Wu Shigong heard about his concubine Manling's best friend—Tang Mei.Suffering in Zuo Liangyu's mansion, she begged Wu Shigong to rescue Tang Mei and break away from her relationship with Zuo Liangyu.

As soon as Zuo Liangyu learned the reason, she wanted to scold her, because as long as she was not a fool, she would definitely understand that this was an excuse for Wu Shigong to provoke Zuo Liangyu.After all, who would go to war for an outdated flower card?

But let's talk about revenge afterwards!The most important thing now is how to leave Wuchang City.And Zuo Liangyu didn't talk nonsense, and immediately brought Tang Mei out, and then, under the witness of some Wuchang city officials, sent her to the gunboat of the Runing Army.

But this move immediately defeated the Runing Army.They didn't expect that Zuo Liangyu could really get Tang Mei out.However, after some discussions, the gunboats of the Runing Army finally gave way to the ships of Wuchang City.

The reason for such a decision is to take care of Hou Xun's face.But the Runing Army didn't want to do anything wrong, it would give the officials and gentry in Wuchang a way to escape.Because from the beginning to the end.The Runing Army never thought about keeping Wuchang City now.

The Runing Army wanted to wait until Zhang Xianzhong's Great Western Army occupied Wuchang, use Wuchang as a bait to hold back the Great Western Army's footsteps, and then surround Wuchang City, encircling and annihilating the main force of the Great Western Army here.

Of course, taking advantage of this opportunity to ask for Tang Mei, the Runing army also captured several cities that were originally controlled by Zuo Liangyu's department.However, during the attack, the Runing Army did not encounter any resistance, and successively captured and incorporated more than 1 people from Zuo Liangyu's department.

The third day of the first month.The vanguard of the Great West Army crossed the river from Tuanfengzhou and conquered Wuchang County.On the [-]th, the whole army of Daxi Army crossed from Yadanzhou to the south.Attack Wuchang Fucheng on the [-]th.Ming Taoist Wang Yangji saw that the situation was not good, so he abandoned the city and fled with Fu Shangrui, the Tuiguan of Wuchang Mansion.The recruits of the Chu Mansion immediately opened the gates of Baoan and Wenchang to surrender.

After the Daxi army entered the city, Zhu Huakui was captured alive, and all the gold and silver in the palace were taken.The chariot can carry hundreds of cars.Seeing this, Zhang Xianzhong couldn't help sighing: "With so much money, you can't set up guards, Zhu Huzi is so mediocre!"

after.Zhang Xianzhong ordered Zhu Huakui to be thrown into the river and drowned.And after He Fengsheng was captured.Zhang Xianzhong was released and returned home because of his misdeeds.But He said, "My minister, I can't live on." He ran to Ziyang Lake Wanghui Bridge and drowned himself in the water.

Meanwhile, on the eighteenth.The Runing Army from Runing and Nanyang raided Suizhou after a night march, and cleared the road to Wuchang City in one day.

On the [-]th, Jiang Cheng's troops from Junzhou attacked Xiangyang.The civil servants Zhang Xianzhong stayed in Xiangyang also surrendered from Daming.In order to ensure that Wuchang could be conquered, Zhang Xianzhong concentrated most of the main force of the Daxi Army, so there were only more than [-] soldiers left in Xiangyang City.Therefore, seeing the army of Runing Army pressing down on the border, Xiangyang City did not resist at all, and the whole city surrendered.The surrender of Xiangyang City cleared the way for the Runing Army to go to Wuchang.

Coupled with the Runing Army that has been concentrated in Huanggang and the gunboats on the Yangtze River, the Runing Army has faintly formed a posture of encircling Wuchang on three sides.

So when Zhang Xianzhong's Great Western Army was celebrating their capture of Wuchang, they suddenly found that they had unknowingly fallen into the siege of the Runing Army.

For this reason, Zhang Xianzhong immediately decided to abandon Wuchang City. In addition to leaving [-] horses led by Li Dingguo in the city, he led the main force across the Yangtze River and headed west.This time Zhang Xianzhong decided to leave the territory of the Runing Army far away. His goal was Sichuan, and he wanted to establish his own independent small kingdom in the Land of Abundance.

As for Li Dingguo who stayed in Wuchang City, I hope he will delay the Runing Army for a longer time.After the main force of Zhang Xianzhong's Great Western Army fled away, let Li Dingguo break through the siege and follow him.

However, the Runing Army's movements were quite fast. On the 24th, the Runing Army from Suizhou rushed to Wuchang. With the cooperation of gunboats on the river, they killed and captured the defenders of the Daxi Army. More than 3 people had not crossed the river.In the next two days, the other two Runing armies also arrived one after another, and together they surrounded Wuchang City.

……

After the Qing army entered the customs and conquered Dezhou on the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, the whole army flooded into Shandong like a tide.After entering Shandong, the Qing army began to divide into groups of several thousand to tens of thousands of troops, scattered to various states and counties to plunder.

However, Yan Jizu, the governor of Shandong, and Liu Zeqing, the commander-in-chief, only concentrated the main force of the Lu army in Jinan City, no longer cared about the life and death of other cities, and allowed the Qing army to move freely.

However, after about a month of looting, Huang Taiji ordered the entire army to concentrate and prepare for the next step of strategy-invading Henan.

Since the target of the Qing army this time was Runing and Guide in the southern part of Henan, the Qing army divided its troops into two groups, with [-] soldiers and horses along the way. Under the leadership of Duoduo, after conquering Jining, along the The Heze area entered Henan; the main force of the Qing army of more than [-] on the other side, led by Huang Taiji himself, wanted to invade Guide through Xuzhou.

However, Xue Yongli's troops originally concentrated their troops in the northeastern area of ​​Henan, and only guarded against the invasion from Jining.After learning about the two movements of the Qing army, Xue Yongli urgently ordered Shumo to lead Guide Town to Xuzhou to help resist the invasion of the Qing army.And Xue Yongli himself led four towns, a total of more than 6000 horses, to repel Duoduo's army first, and then go to Xuzhou to join the decisive battle.

So from the second day of February, the Heze-Xuzhou war broke out immediately.

……

However, in all theaters, the decisive battle between Li Zicheng's Shun Army and Sun Chuanting's Qin Army broke out first.

When Li Zicheng learned that the Qin army was about to go out of Shaanxi, he was carrying out his "founding ceremony" in Taiyuan; at the same time, he continued to deploy troops to strengthen Shanxi's defense.Then Li Zicheng personally led the army to the west, and he had to concentrate his forces to prepare for the invasion of Sun Chuanting's Qin army.

In terms of strategy, Li Zicheng decided to adopt the policy of luring the enemy to go deep and deploy the main force in the area north of Linfen based on the fact that the northwestern region was devastated by natural disasters and the food and grass problem was not easy to solve after the army passed.As for the vast area before, except for the few patrolling troops left behind, even the county towns and cities were all abandoned, and no soldiers were left to guard.

In the first ten days of the first month of the 16th year of Chongzhen, the Qin army regained Yuncheng.Advisers around Sun Chuanting made suggestions: don’t rush forward, but take a steady and steady approach. First use Yuncheng as a base, repair the battlements, attract refugees, open up farmland, and store grain and grass. This way, you can fight when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat. Time to enter Taiyuan again.

However, Sun Chuanting was afraid of the court's order and did not dare to stay, so he still led the troops to march north.In order to ensure military supplies, Sun Chuanting strictly ordered the surrounding prefectures and counties to cooperate with the distribution of food and grass, but the local officials pressed him very urgently, forcing and exhausting many people to death.

But Li Zicheng saw that Sun Chuanting's troops were coming fiercely, so he deliberately showed weakness, and only sent a small army to block it for a while, and then retreated northward.The Qin army easily went straight to Wenxi County.And this unexpected victory also inflated Sun Chuanting's confidence.

Of course, the troops of various colors that Sun Chuanting collected also showed their true colors. They killed residents indiscriminately along the way and counted meritorious deeds.And Sun Chuanting also ignored this kind of killing of the good and pretending to be meritorious. Instead, he reported to the court: "The thieves have heard of the names of the ministers. The ministers swore to clean up Shanxi, and they will not let the king and father worry about a thief."

So Emperor Chongzhen was overjoyed and handed Sun Chuanting's letter of victory to the courtiers for reading, and shouted dreamily: "The thief will perish soon!" The troops stationed in Jinzhong have repeatedly reported victory, and most of the villages have been recruited. All towns and Fuyi have whole brigades across the river, and they are sent to the post quickly. Those who can’t avoid the former fly to participate in the re-government. On the one hand, they appease the migrants and reclaim the barren land; on the other hand, they repair the city and resettle the people. Still ordering the various prefectures in Hebei to transport grain and grass, to help the supervisors, and to send shipments to places near Henan without delay, and the results will be complete. The rewards of Tonghou will break a lot of gold."

It seems that Emperor Chongzhen has been dazzled by this long-lost victory.He seems to have begun to prepare official rewards for the heroes.However, Feng Yuanbiao, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, was worried and said: "The thief sees Lei to lure my teacher, which is taboo in the art of war. I can't be carefree." This made Emperor Chongzhen very disappointed, and he was speechless for a long time .

And this time, Sun Chuanting also learned the lessons of the previous few times when the officers and soldiers were dug and besieged by the peasant army. In order to resist the large number of cavalry who broke into the camp, he adopted the side car tactics handed down by Qi Jiguang.

Before leaving Shaanxi, the Qin army built a large number of carts and recruited a large number of mules and horses.However, there were not enough mules and horses, so a large number of civilian men were recruited, and manpower was needed to pull the carts.In addition, the carts were filled with food and grass, and they had to adopt a tactic of advancing step by step against Li Zicheng's Shun army.

Therefore, Qin Jun's road has become a bloody road.As long as they saw the people, all the young men were recruited as civilian husbands, the women were used as camp prostitutes, and the old ones had their heads chopped off to pretend to be military exploits.All food, grass and property were also searched.Totally insane.
