The Sun Never Sets Great China

In a village in southern Shaanxi, 10,000+ soldiers of the Dashun Army are resting here. In the main building of the largest courtyard in the village, dozens of people in battle armor watched anxiously as an old doctor was lying on the bed with an arrow in the head. People see a doctor.

The person who was hit by an arrow in the head was Chuang Wang Li Zicheng. Originally, the Dashun army had been besieged for several months after they hit the city of Xi'an, and it was about to break the city. They came over and defeated the formation of the Dashun Army. Originally, the Dashun Army still had the strength to fight against the Manchus, but Chuang Wang Li Zicheng was shot in the head by the strong bow of the Manchus, and the Dashun Army retreated.

The old doctor rolled his eyes again, felt his pulse again, and after fiddling for a long time, he said: "Prepare for the funeral." As soon as he finished speaking, the generals beat him up straight away. If Empress Gao hadn't stopped him, the old doctor would Die here first.

That night, Zhang Huahan was just about to go back to rest at the gate of the guard residence of the Nanjing Imperial Palace when he suddenly saw Hong Ying waiting for him with three apprentices at the gate. People entered his house.

As soon as he entered the house, Hong Ying said in a low voice: "Boss, Li Zicheng is dead. He was shot in the head by a Qing army's strong bow and died after two days of rescue. My troops are also going north. Now we are on the front line Each of the six divisions has 5000 fast gunners and is ready to fight. Commander Huang said that he contacted Hou Fangyu and other ministers who approached them to help us to send troops. In fact, there are already three divisions. It’s entering Henan.” Zhang Huahan said: “You guys are doing well, tell Huang Ziya to subdue them as much as possible, and beware of Ma Shiying and Zuo Menggeng, remember, there are estimated to be 3 to 20 million taels of silver in the Dashun Army, you see Let’s do it, and there will be all kinds of craftsmen, diggers and other talents. When I go to court, I will let our army go out in a legitimate way.” Hong Ying said in a low voice: “Chief, I got it. I have another question. Everyone I would like to ask you, why the Manchu and Qing soldiers ran away in fright when they saw our uniforms, even two thousand Manchurian elites, five divisions fought for a long time without killing a single person, not to mention never seeing it, never heard of it since ancient times , I asked people that they were afraid of our Chinese army. Isn’t the Chinese army in Zhonghua City, Shanxi? Why is it the same as our military uniform, and it is said that their military song also has the song "Serve the country with loyalty." Zhang Huahan said: "I and Their leader may have some origins, I don’t know too well, anyway, it’s a good thing, and I’ll know what’s going on in the future.” Hong Ying said in a low voice: “Got it, I’m going to leave the leader, by the way, we got the information , Ma Shiying and Zuo Menggeng have also been dispatched, it seems that they have also received information, and it is estimated that they will fight with them, but don't worry, now their five divisions have adapted tens of thousands of selected elite rebel soldiers and soldiers. After the soldiers of the Qing army who surrendered, each division has more than [-] people, including my troops, there are already [-], we must follow your teachings, use our troops flexibly, and fight with our brains." Zhang Huahan said: "Okay, I and the people of the world are counting on you, we must use the art of war not to be too rigid, it is getting late, I will send you out of the palace."

In the morning, above the court hall of the Nanjing Imperial Palace, Emperor Hongguang touched his beardless chin. He looked at the eunuchs on duty around him, and then at Zhang Huahan, who often shaved his chin and had no beard, and who never had a beard. Wu Tieli was scratched, and thought to himself: Both of them are martial arts, why is there such a big difference?What kind of beard do you still have when I bare my chin? Really, I can’t blame Zhang Huahan for saving me from a hundred deaths. It’s just relying on this kind of eyesight. If Wu Tieli is an idiot, he would even run away by himself No, you are the only one with a long beard in the hall, and you are not awkward.

When the emperor was thinking about the brains of the two red and purple guards in front of him in the hall, suddenly there was a loud voice from the eunuchs from far to near: "Report, eight hundred miles, hurry up, report, eight hundred miles!" Hurry up with a hundred miles." Many ministers in the court hall were dozing off, but this made everyone sober.

An eunuch ran up and knelt down on the ground, shouting: "Henan is in a hurry, please take a look at it." An eunuch on duty went down and took it, and raised his hands respectfully to the chief eunuch on duty. The chief eunuch checked it After there were no dangerous goods, he raised his hands to Emperor Hongguang again. Emperor Hongguang took a look and laughed and said, "The intruder is dead, haha." He handed the urgent letter in his hand to the chief eunuch for the ministers to circulate. Look, it turned out that it was the news from Henan Xizuo that Li Zicheng was shot and killed by the Qing army.All the ministers rushed to say New Year's greetings, congratulating the emperor for avenging his country's and family's hatred.

Gao Zhuo stood up and said: "Your Majesty, now is the time to eliminate the remnants of the trespassers. Please send Ma Shiying and Zuo Menggeng to jointly dispatch troops to suppress the rebellion." *You can also cooperate with the dispatch to eliminate the intruders." Several ministers also came out to echo.

Emperor Hongguang said to Zhang Huahan in a low voice: "Don't tell me about you, you have started to collude with ministers." Zhang Huahan said in a low voice: "These people are loyal to you. They guessed that you have hatred for Ma Shiying. Zuo Menggeng Ambition is afraid that it will be bad for you after expansion. Now you can only use your loyalty. I believe that if Mr. Shi didn’t sacrifice for you, he would also go along with Mr. Hou. Think about it, I never go out of the palace, and I don’t Contact them on condition. Even if it is normal to have contacts with the people in the territory of the minister last night, the army in the territory of the minister is going to be transferred to the north, don't you think so?" Zhang Huahan knew that Hong Ying and the others would definitely be rejected when they came to find him last night. The eyeliner of Emperor Hongguang told him that if the emperor does not know who is coming to the palace, then the emperor is really hopeless. After all, since Emperor Hongguang became a eunuch, he has become a lot wiser, and he can handle many things very well. The appearance of Mingjun.

Emperor Hongguang didn't say anything when he saw Zhang Huahan confessing to himself. It wasn't that he didn't believe Zhang Huahan, but he didn't want Zhang Huahan to deceive him.Emperor Hongguang said in a low voice: "It's nothing, I mean you should have a good relationship with your loyal minister. Now I can't deal with Ma Shiying's confidantes in Chaoshang because he has a large army in his hands, but Chaoshang must have someone who supports you." The voice, otherwise how would I deal with the government!" Zhang Huahan said in a low voice: "The emperor is wise."

The lowly ministers saw that Emperor Hongguang didn't express his opinions on them for a long time, and he was still muttering there. Gao Zhuo couldn't bear it anymore. Last night, he took a full 1 taels of silver from Ma Shiying and patted his chest to guarantee it. Yes.He immediately said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, Ma Shiying's troops are the closest to the Chuang Bandit. The fighter plane cannot be delayed."

Emperor Hongguang whispered to Zhang Huahan: "What do you think?" Zhang Huahan said in a low voice: "Ma Shiying must have already dispatched troops. You asked Zuo Menggeng and the nurse to dispatch troops, and Ma Shiying stayed behind. It depends on the situation and we are talking, anyway. Now that he has the obvious reason for his disobedience to the holy order, he can clean it up if he wants to, and let it go if he wants to." Emperor Hongguang smiled and said: "Ma Shiying's Aiqing consolidates the occupied place, just let it go." Don't send troops anymore, I sent Zuo Menggeng and the guards to go out to wipe out the banditry, that's it, immediately draw up an order." Gao Zhuo became anxious when he heard this, and said: "Your Majesty, the closest to the bandits is Ma Shiying's troops. Can't delay. Please ask the emperor to let Ma Shiying send troops." Hongguang Emperor said: "I know, I will let him guard. Don't discuss this matter any more. If there is nothing to play, then retreat." Gao Zhuo is still wordy.Emperor Hongguang said: "I have made up my mind, so don't discuss it any more. If you talk about this matter again, you will be beaten out with a stick." The temptation of 1 taels of silver made Gao Zhuo shout: "Your Majesty, my minister is loyal and straightforward! The closest to the intruders is Ma Shiying's troops, the fighter plane cannot be delayed!" Hongguang Emperor got angry, and immediately let the guards and eunuchs beat Gao Zhuo out with sticks.

In southern Shaanxi, Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance, Liu Zongmin, Hao Yaoqi and other powerful Chuangwang generals saw that Chuangwang was dead, so they commanded their own troops and stopped obeying the orders of Li Baichi and Mrs. Gao who had just ascended the throne.Gao Yigong, Li Guo, and Bai Wang are loyal to Li Baichi and Mrs. Gao.The Dashun army was divided into three armies, Liu Zongmin, Song Xiance and Niu Jinxing led more than 7 troops, Hao Yaoqi led more than 3 troops, Li Baichi and Mrs. Gao had more than 8 troops, and the treasure gold All the silver is in their hands.

Hao Yaoqi led the soldiers and horses to march southeast. There were more than 4 recruits in Henan under the hands of his cronies. Mrs. Gao led the Dashun army and led by Liu Zongmin, Song Xiance and Niu Jinxing. The Dashun army lined up and confronted each other on the spot.

Niu Jinxing first shouted disobedience to Li Baichi's ascension to the throne, and asked Empress Gao to choose the emperor candidate from among her older brothers. Of course, Empress Gao refused.The two opposing armies escalated from a verbal war to a confrontation, and they fought for a long time before retreating.The battlefield was full of bloody smell, corpses everywhere, stumps, viscera, and human heads everywhere, the blood stained the ground, and some low-lying places had dried up blood canals, thousands of Dashun soldiers became corpses.

Dorgon, who was supervising the battle in Shaanxi, looked at the Shandong battle report in his hand, and asked the general who sent the battle report: "Are they really wearing the same uniforms as the Chinese army in Zhonghua City?" The general who sent the battle report said: "It is absolutely true, The military songs are all the same, except that the word "protect the country" is on the flag." Dorgon asked one of his officials, "Has the barrier that appeared in Zhonghua City three years ago disappeared?" The official said, "It hasn't disappeared. No one can come out, no one can go in, not even the sky can go in and out, and absolutely no one can come out. Our people are watching day and night, and we will never make mistakes." Dorgon threw the battle report to the sender On the face of the participating general, he said: "Did you hear that? You have been fooled by the Ming army. They are the troops led by Huang Ziya of the Ming army to protect the **. If it is really the Chinese army, you will have no life to give me." Send the battle report, but that's it. You immediately defend the current line of defense, and wait for the main force to arrive before counterattacking. The intelligence shows that Huang Ziya has a good training of troops, and the troops he leads are not so easy to deal with. Concentrate all your forces on the defense line Defense, if you break through the line of defense and the Ming army reaches Hebei, I will cut off all your heads, do you hear me?" The general who sent the battle report repeatedly kowtowed and said: "The young general obeys your orders, and you must obey your orders word for word. Pass it back."

Just after Dorgon asked someone to write a document order to send away the general who delivered the battle report, a soldier came to report immediately. After the Dashun army was divided into two groups, he fought first.After hearing this, Dorgon was overjoyed, and ordered the army to develop. The 20 Manchu Eight Banners elite plus more than [-] Eight Banners, Green Camp and other Han troops marched to the south.

In Kaifeng, Henan, Hao Yaoqi commanded 20 soldiers and horses to guard the city, while Ma Shiying led an army of [-] troops on the periphery. The reason why he attacked Kaifeng in such a hurry was that he had received the exact news that the former prince Zhu Cilang was under pressure at Kaifeng Pass. Now that there is a big enmity with the emperor, it is impossible to reconcile, and self-reliance is not justified, and it will fail sooner or later.Now only by rescuing the former prince Zhu Cilang and setting him up as emperor, and then uniting with Zuo Menggeng to fight against Emperor Hongguang, can he have a way out.

Hao Yaoqi has just arrived in Kaifeng and gathered his own people to establish himself as the emperor. Now that the soldiers are overwhelming the country, he can't fan his mouth to surrender. Moreover, the Dashun Army has been operating in Kaifeng for several years, and the current Kaifeng city is full of food. There are more than 60 cannons on the city wall alone, and Ma Shiying's troops don't have much food and grass, and all the food is only enough for the army to drink porridge for ten days. On the contrary, Ma Shiying's situation is much worse than that of Hao Yaoqi.

Ma Shiying bitterly remembered that when he discussed with Zuo Menggeng about saving the former prince Zhu Cilang, the arrogant Zuo Menggeng asked himself to be the king of Henan, and he only sent troops to occupy the territory, and did not help him attack Kaifengjian City. Take it, gnaw the bones yourself, if Zuo Menggeng hadn't helped him fight the Dashun Army in Huguang some time ago and now I have a request from him, I really want to give him two slaps.
