Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 366 Dorgon is not calm anymore

In just a few days, Zhu Yousong's army completely wiped out the [-] to [-] Qing troops in Mandahai. The battles were fought more beautifully, and the good news came one after another.

Liu Zhaoji and Ma Wannian won a complete victory outside the city of Luoyang. They killed the remnants of Man Dahai overnight, chased them for fifty or sixty miles, and wiped out more than 2 Tartars.

Zheng Hongkui brought Kong Youde's head to Luoyang to repay his meritorious service. He took over the Qing army camp outside Huaiqing City overnight and wiped out nearly ten thousand people.

The governors of Henan and Shandong, Lu Jiude, Huang Degong, and Chen Qianfu also stationed nearly 20 troops near Luoyang. In this way, there are more than [-] Ming soldiers around Luoyang.

The Qing army in Shanzhou and Xiongzhou fled without a fight, and the Ming army took over these cities without bloodshed.So far, the entire Henan and Shandong have been incorporated into the territory of Nanming.

Zhu Yousong took the beauty with him, sipping fine wine, admiring the beautiful scenery of flowers and listening to the good news in the palace in Luoyang, and his life was quite comfortable.

Taking stock of the several major battles around Luoyang, it took only two months to defeat the two armies of Azig and Duoduo. Nearly 20 Tartars were wiped out. Duo, King Zhishun Shang Kexi, King Huaishun Geng Zhongming, King Gongshun Kong Youde, the five kings all died in battle. Pingxi King Wu Sangui Zhongji was sent to the Qing capital. It is estimated that he and his uncle Zu Dashou were fighting with Dorgon Well, Oboi and Man Dahai also died. Thinking about the status and prestige of these people in the Qing court, Zhu Yousong stepped on them one by one.

Zhu Yousong couldn't help being proud, he woke up laughing in his dreams a few times, and was coaxed back to sleep by Ma Jinhua and He Xuanjiao.

It's worth celebrating. In addition to the days of fighting, the soldiers under him have worked hard enough, so Zhu Yousong rested his troops in Luoyang, rewarded the three armies, and paid for the casualties. This is the real joy of the military and the people.

Zhu Yousong sent the victory report to the capital, and the government and the public were shaken. Gao Hongtu, the first assistant of the cabinet, Wang Duo, the second assistant of the cabinet, etc., felt that the Ming Dynasty had the hope of rejuvenation. His majesty had achieved such fruitful results just after one year of enthronement. Basically gone, the Donglin Party has also been reformed, the disobedient warlords have also been eradicated, the Tartars have suffered defeats, and the Ming army has been invincible all the way. They seem to have seen the shadows of Taizu and Chengzu from Zhu Yousong. Sigh, God really blesses me, Daming, to descend to such a sage and mighty emperor!

These officials in Nanzhili were so moved that they burst into tears and knelt down in the direction of Luoyang. Since then, they have become more dedicated officials.The emperor is so diligent, how dare they slack off?They all hope that when Zhu Yousong triumphantly moves his division, he will not be accused of mediocrity and dereliction of duty.

But Zhu Yousong was not in a hurry to move his army. The morale of the Ming army was high. He decided not to give the Tatars a chance to breathe, and took advantage of the victory to attack and drive the Tartars back to their hometown outside the pass.Now Zhu Yousong can be said to have a strong army. Among other things, there are more than 20 King Qin's troops around Luoyang alone.

There was no problem with food and grass in a short period of time. Originally, the Nanming treasury was short of money and could not make ends meet. Zhu Yousong relied on ransacking his home to make ends meet. To the leader of Donglin, wait, don't look at the poor and the poor in the country, these people are very rich, and they confiscated nearly 2000 million silver to maintain the operation of Remnant.

However, this can't solve the problem. The deficit of the Ming Dynasty has been too great for many years. In addition, natural disasters and man-made disasters have continued to relieve the victims. This requires money to settle it. What's more, the successive years of wars are large-scale collective money-burning campaigns. How much money will it cost? Come support!
The reason why Zhu Yousong’s food and grass supply can be maintained broadly until now is because of the warlords of the four towns first, then Zuo Liangyu and his son in Wuhan, and now the Tartars. The problem, as the saying goes, there are no guns, no cannons, the enemy makes us, and there is no food, no clothing, and the enemy sends us forward!
The two armies of the British Prince Azig and Doduo were wiped out at once, with nearly 20 horses, and their food and grass supplies were all made of spoils, which made Zhu Yousong cheaper. Now Zhu Yousong's food and grass supplies will last for another month or two. No problem , The summer grain will come down soon. Although this year is not a bumper harvest, it is much easier than raising grain and grass in winter and when the crops are not harvested.

Therefore, in a short period of time, Zhu Yousong did not have to worry about the food and wages of 20 horses. The only fly in the ointment was that the ammunition of the cannons was short. When the four kings were sent to the sky, they ran out of explosives and cannonballs that time. Although they got twenty red clothes, they had very little ammunition and no ammunition. No matter how powerful the cannon was, it was useless.

The way to replenish ammunition is nothing more than self-made and purchased, but this is impossible to solve in a short period of time, and we can't just wait for ammunition. Method.

Zhu Yousong decided to continue to advance troops, first to stabilize the situation in Daming, and then to talk about these issues in the future, we can only talk about them later.

Zhu Yousong rested in Luoyang for nearly half a month, planning to raise troops and continue northward.At this time, the eunuch on duty came in to report, "Your Majesty, six generals have come outside, all of whom were Wu Jinshi last year, and they want to pay homage to Your Majesty."

Zhu Yousong was even happier when he heard it. Last year, in the face of many difficulties, Zhu Yousong withstood the pressure and insisted on taking the literary and martial arts exams. Although there were not many martial arts exams, only nine were selected, but all nine of them were They are people with high martial arts skills, and some are generals. After a famous family, they are expected to become the pillars of the country if they are well-trained. Therefore, Zhu Yousong awarded them all to the imperial guards. Zhu Yousong gave them a two-month vacation to go home and say good news to their relatives. Only Zheng Damu, Ma Jinhua, and Ma Wannian accompanied him on the expedition. Unexpectedly, the remaining six Wu Jinshi all came at this time.

Zhu Yousong summoned them in the side hall, Zhang Huan, Lu Xiao, Zhao Fu, Fang Dongxu, Xu Xianren and Fan Jinzhong knelt down to meet him.

It turned out that these six Wu Jinshi rushed to the capital to listen to them after returning home to visit their relatives and announce the good news. But at this time, Zhu Yousong had already personally conscripted. Zhu Yousong's team didn't meet each other until they came to Luoyang, and it was only now that there were three delays and two no delays along the way.

All nine Wu Jinshi have arrived and filled the army. Zhu Yousong's more than 20 horses undoubtedly added a new force.Especially the young general Zhang Huan, who is the descendant of Zhang Ling, the famous crossbow general in Sichuan. Although he is young, he is a general.

Shanzhou has an important strategic position, it is the thoroughfare of the three provinces, and the Dashun Army still has strength, so it must be guarded by heavy troops. To put it bluntly, it is to defend Li Zicheng's men.

Therefore, Zhu Yousong ordered Zheng Longfang to be the commander-in-chief of Shanzhou and stationed 1 troops, and asked Yuan Shu to be the commander-in-chief of Dezhou with [-] troops stationed in Dezhou, Shandong. An order was issued to order Chen Qianfu, the governor of Henan Province, to sit in Kaifeng Mansion and manage the government and military affairs of Henan and Shandong provinces.

Zhu Yousong took Huang Degong, Lu Jiude, etc., including nine martial arts scholars, hundreds of fierce generals, and an army of 20 left Luoyang, and crossed the mighty Yellow River towards Beijing, the capital of the Qing emperor...

Now Dorgon can no longer sit still in Beijing...
