Go back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to be a soldier

Chapter 371 The Overlord Clause
On the road from Central Shu to Junzhou, more than 200 war horses rushed forward at a fast speed. They were full of dust and dust. It may be that there has been no rain in this area for many days, and they set off on a rolling journey.

Of course, this team was Zhang Xianzhong's Great Western Army, and the leading general, with iron helmets and round eyes and beards, was none other than Zhang Xianzhong's Chinese army general Wang Shangli.

Following Zhang Xianzhong's secret order, he was about to deliver a letter to Li Dingguo, king of Anxi, in Junzhou Daying.

All of them were sweating profusely as they ran out of the mountain to a wilderness. They didn't know that there were countless sharp arrows aimed at them in the dark.

All of a sudden, arrows were fired, and the Daxi Army who was suddenly attacked fell to the ground one after another. They never dreamed that someone would ambush them here, because this was their territory of Daxi Kingdom.

For a while, there were screams, the sound of the impact of weapons, the whistling sound of arrows, mixed with the neighing of war horses, it was a mess at that time.

As a general of the Chinese army, Wang Shangli is also a man who is used to fighting. He used the big knife in his hand to dial Liu Ya while paying attention to the movement around him.

After the rain of arrows, with a shout, ambushes were everywhere, all masked men in black, rushing towards them, there could be hundreds or even thousands.

Wang Shangli was a little dazed, looking at this attire, could it be that he met a bandit?But if they were bandits, why did they all cover their faces with light veils and smear their faces in black and gray?

Wang Shangli, who didn't care about many people, could only send an order to retreat. As a general of the Great Western Army, of course he was not afraid of fighting, but the opponent had a large number of people and he had an important mission.

But it was not easy to retreat. They were already surrounded by hundreds of men in black. The flurry of arrows just now cost them nearly half of their troops, and now there are only about 100 people left.In the blink of an eye, these hundreds of men in black were trapped in the melee.

However, Wang Shangli was a little dumbfounded by the close encounter between the two sides.This time, the black-clothed masked men are all tough, they are not mobs, not to mention that the opponent has a large number of people, even if they are 1 on 1, their own troops are not their opponents.

The emperor has been promoted to the chief general of the Chinese army. Of course, the more than 200 personal guards he brought this time are all elite soldiers and strong generals, but even so they cannot withstand the opponent's offensive.

Especially the two leading ones are even more powerful and evil.A bright silver gun in one hand danced like rain hitting pear blossoms.The other hand made a pair of leopard-tailed steel whips, and the Daxi sabers and guns flew around, causing the dead bodies to roll.

Even Wang Shangli couldn't resist these two.

Wang Shangli regretted it a bit. He knew it would be good to bring more soldiers here, but he would not predict the future. In a melee, including Wang Shangli, the more than 200 Daxi troops were all wiped out, and no one slipped through the net.

Then these men in black inspected the dead bodies one by one, and found that those who were not completely dead, they gave them another knife.

In the end, the two masked men in black took out a secret letter from Wang Shangli, opened it, looked at each other, and smiled at each other, "Mr. Li really lives up to his reputation, otherwise we would have been murdered?"

As he spoke, he hid the secret decree in his arms, and then directed the men in black to throw all the corpses into the ditch, and then the men in black walked away...

Li Dingguo's camp in Junzhou, Gao Guiying and Li Yan's camp.

Generals Liu Fangliang and Yuan Zongdi came to see the chief general Gao Guiying and son Li Yan, and then brought out the secret decree.

After Gao Guiying and Li Yan passed it on to each other, they gritted their teeth and scolded: "The Eight Great Kings are really not a thing, and their thieves are hard to change. Sure enough, he doesn't remember the friendship of the past and wants to kill us. If that's the case, don't blame us. !"

"It's been so many days since we've been here, Master Jian Guo should be in a hurry if we don't do anything else, since they attacked us first, we'll kill them all, you bastards!" Yuan Zongdi couldn't bear it. Stop cursing.

Gao Guiying said: "Don't be reckless, Lord Jian Guo has an order, don't hurt Li Dingguo."

Then Gao Guiying and Li Yan immediately drew up a plan, they had to do it immediately, ambushed swordsmen and archers inside and outside the camp, and then sent someone to invite Li Dingguo to come to the camp for a banquet.

Li Dingguo saw that Gao Guiying and the others were going to treat guests, so of course they had to go, they are working very happily now.

Because although Gao Guiying's battalion did not have many troops, the more than 2000 people were all elite soldiers and strong generals. The Ming army in this area ran away, invincible and invincible. Li Dingguo now has no troops in this battalion. Be wary, thinking that these remnants of the Dashun Army have been completely incorporated into their Daxi Army.

Li Dingguo, as King Anxi of the Great Western Army and the chief general of the army, such good things as treats and drinks for his subordinates must be indispensable, so Li Dingguo didn't think about other things at all. He didn't bring anything with him, he just rode a horse and brought a few relatives into Gao Guiying's camp.

Gao Guiying, Li Yan, Li Guo, Gao Yigong and others greeted him at the gate of the camp.After the exchange of pleasantries between the two parties, Gao Guiying let Li Dingguo into the tent.

Li Dingguo was still a little puzzled, why did Liu Fangliang and Yuan Zongdi disappear?Just a random question, Li Yan explained that the two generals were on duty today and went to patrol the camp, and they would be back in a while.

Li Dingguo laughed, thinking that the two generals were really dedicated, and even personally patrolled the camp.Facing a sumptuous banquet, everyone sat down.

However, as soon as Li Dingguo sat down, he realized that something was wrong with the situation today. The former subordinates including Gao Guiying, Li Yan, Li Guo, Gao Yigong, etc. had an indescribably strange expression on their faces, showing their enthusiasm and respect to him. Among them, they all looked at him with strange eyes, and he noticed it.

Li Dingguo's heart turned, what's going on?Do they have something to hide from themselves?

Just as he was about to ask, he suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the big tent was not right. Treating guests to drinks should be a festive and lively atmosphere, but he stopped talking after entering the big tent, and there was a murderous intent here. There should be no mistake. Based on his many years of experience, he concluded that there was an ambush inside and outside the camp. Thinking of this, he couldn't help looking around, and felt that the murderous atmosphere was even stronger.

Ok?Li Dingguo immediately became alert, could this be a Hongmen Banquet?Li Dingguo just thought about it, when Li Yan smiled at him: "My lord, I have wronged you, come here!"

As soon as Li Yan said this, ambushes broke out everywhere, and thousands of 800 archers, knives, axes, and musketeers who were ambushing inside and outside the big tent all showed up.

"What's going on? What are you going to do?" Li Dingguo's face changed, his eyes were like lightning, and he questioned Li Yan and Gao Guiying.

Li Yan sneered and said, "My lord, I didn't expect that. To tell you the truth, we were sent by Lin Yi, the supervisor of the country, and we surrendered to Daming a long time ago.

Li Yan said, pointing at Gao Guiying, "This is the General Pingxi who was appointed by the Lord Jian Guo to fight against the generals. I was ordered to suppress the thieves. You have fallen into the trick of our Lord Lin. Those who follow me will perish. But Mr. Lin sees you as a hero, and ordered me not to wait for harm. It is your advantage to catch him without a fight, otherwise the consequences of ignorance of current affairs can be imagined."

Li Dingguo was dumbfounded when he heard this, and made a fuss for a long time. Gao Guiying's battalion, more than 2000 people are all fake surrenders?
This anti-indirect strategy makes it unprecedented, and it is also mixed with bitter tricks.For how many battles has this battalion won?He can't remember how much territory he won for Daxi Kingdom, and he can't remember how many celebration banquets he hosted for them.

Li Dingguo completely regarded them as his own. From Gao Guiying to Li Yan to the soldiers below, Li Dingguo regarded him as his confidant general, and this battalion became his trump card battalion.

Once upon a time, Li Dingguo had an idea in his mind.Seeing the beautiful and young Gao Guiying who is now single and widowed, he even wanted Zhang Xianzhong to accept her as his concubine.

In Li Dingguo's eyes, Gao Guiying's talent is simply second to Qin Liangyu's. If Zhang Xianzhong can get the assistance of such a woman, he will definitely be at his fingertips.

In addition, there is Li Yan, this young Mr. Li is no less than Zhuge Liang alive, Jiang Ziya is reborn, most of the think tanks around his father Zhang Xianzhong are stupid, what Wang Zhaolin, Yan Ximing, Pan Duao, Xu Yixian and others, at best They are just dog-headed military advisers. Compared with Mr. Li, they are just a thousand miles away.

There are also Li Guo, Li Laiheng, Gao Yigong, Liu Fangliang, Yuan Zongdi, Tian Jianxiu, etc. All of these generals are enemies of ten thousand people.

Now that Li Zicheng is dead and the Dashun Kingdom no longer exists, these 2000 people collectively voted for them, which is equivalent to taking over the entire team of the Dashun Army. With these 2000 people, why not worry about big things?Still afraid of him, Ji Dong and Manchu Tartars?

During this period of time, Li Dingguo was very excited that their Daxi Kingdom had so many good soldiers and good generals. How many times he sang in his dreams about his father, Zhang Xianzhong, Hong Fu Qitian, and how many times he defected to Li Dingguo for the battalion of Gao Guiying in the future. The incomparable pride and pride of his subordinates made his heart, who was only in his early 20s, beat wildly.

One day, in front of his father, he will ask for meritorious service and rewards for soldiers such as Gao Guiying and Li Yan, promote their official positions, and let them seal their wives Yinzi to continue to serve Daxi Kingdom.

But now that they suddenly said that they had surrendered in a fake manner, Li Dingguo's mind suddenly seemed to freeze, and it was as if he had been hit in the head.

The phrase "extreme joy begets sorrow" is true. Li Dingguo was completely unexpected for such a sudden change.

The Hongmen banquet in front of me is so flawless that even gods can hardly detect it!

"Gao Guiying?...Li Yan!..."

Li Dingguo's face was livid with anger, and he was about to squirt blood, but he only called these two names, and then he was arrested without a fight.

Because if he continued to fight, it would be the same result. Although he was full of blood and good at fighting, Fang Tian painted a halberd in the palm of his crotch, with one horse and three weapons.

But now with bare hands and unarmed, the general has no horse like breaking his legs.Not to mention that there are so many soldiers ambushing inside and outside the camp, bows, arrows and muskets can kill him, even the few generals who are sitting with him at dinner can't deal with him.

Gao Guiying, Gao Yigong, Li Guo, Li Yan, these are also generals who are accustomed to fighting. They joined hands, and the heroes are hard to beat. Li Dingguo can't stand it anymore. Liu Fangliang, Yuan Zongdi, Tian Jianxiu, Li Laiheng, these generals are all fully armed, with thousands of soldiers staring at him.

As for the few entourages that Li Dingguo brought with him, they had already controlled them.

From what Gao Guiying and Li Yan said just now, Li Dingguo could also hear that if Lin Yi hadn't ordered him to be caught alive, these people would have already cut him to pieces.

In this way, Li Dingguo obediently became their prisoner. The poor Li Dingguo was invited to a banquet, but he didn't eat a mouthful of food or drink a mouthful of wine, so he became a prisoner of others.

But he yelled at him, asking for death, saying that he would never surrender to Daming. He also called Lin Yi a hypocrite. Someone gagged him and tied him up like a zongzi. Li Dingguo had nothing to do.

After capturing Li Dingguo and several of his followers, Li Yan, who was strategizing, immediately made the next plan.

To capture the thief and capture the king, although Li Dingguo was captured, he still has tens of thousands of people under his command, and the news must not be leaked, otherwise the trouble will be serious.

Then Li Yan ordered people to go to other battalions to invite the battalion commanders and deputy generals under Li Dingguo's command, saying that Li Dingguo wanted to discuss the military situation in their tents, and asked them to report immediately, of course, one by one.

Li Dingguo's tens of thousands of horses were divided into a dozen battalions, controlled by a dozen capable generals.

These more than a dozen capable soldiers received false military orders one after another, some of them came immediately without any doubt, some of them wondered why I, who was discussing the military situation, ran to Gao Guiying's tent instead of my own gone?

But they thought again, Gao Guiying's battalion was now winning battles everywhere, and they were able to fight tough battles. They were so embarrassing now, and it was normal to go to their camp to hold a meeting, so they all came.

As a result, Li Yan, Gao Guiying and the others had already laid a net, and these generals caught one by one, and two caught one pair. Soon Li Dingguo's tens of thousands of troops, including Li Dingguo, were all arrested.

Then Gao Guiying and Li Yan gave them a showdown, and then gave them two paths: those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me perish, let them make a choice.

Now these soldiers know that they have been fooled, but it is too late to say anything.Some of them were really loyal to Li Dingguo and Zhang Xianzhong, saying that they would not obey them to the death.

As a result, he was dismembered on the spot and blood was spattered on the spot.Gao Guiying, Li Yan and the others did this with the intention of killing chickens and scaring monkeys.

As a result, the remaining generals expressed their willingness to surrender to Ming Dynasty and betray Daxi.

In this way, through cleaning up one by one, all the leading generals and deputy generals of Li Dingguo's tens of thousands of people were under control.

In just half a month, Li Dingguo's tens of thousands of horses were all turned against by Li Yan and Gao Guiying. This is simply a miracle.

But Li Yan and Gao Guiying also killed thousands of Daxi soldiers. Of course, these were ignorant of current affairs and loyal to Li Dingguo and Zhang Xianzhong.

Moreover, Li Yan and the others did it very carefully, and they didn't reveal the slightest bit of information.

Then Li Yan and Gao Guiying immediately sent someone to secretly report victory to Lin Yi, and attached their next action plan to Chen Linyi...

Just as Lin Yi arranged for Song Xiance to have peace talks with Hong Chengchou, he received a good news from the army.

Lin Yi laughed out loud after reading it, "Guiying and Mr. Li are really good guys. They lived up to the trust of the national army. Well done, Zhang Xianzhong is not far from being unlucky!"

Xiaoying next to him said: "Brother Lin, Sister Gui Ying and the others are very capable. More than 2000 people have settled Li Dingguo's 5 horses, and even captured Li Dingguo alive. But can they really capture Zhang Xianzhong alive?"

Lin Yi said: "Why not, as long as Zhang Xianzhong moves out of Junzhou, it will be difficult to fly in Gao Guiying's camp, but Guiying and Li Gongzi have too few people, and the supervisory country has to send them troops to help them If Zhang Xianzhong can be captured with one arm, their Daxi Kingdom will not be far from being finished!"

After reading the memorial, Lin Yi cheerfully commented on it, praised Gao Guiying and Li Yan and others, fully agreed with their next plan, and mobilized the nearby Ming army to fully support them, instructing them to do this. Next time, Zhang Xianzhong must be captured.

Then Lin Yi sent someone to send the annotated note back to Junzhou Daying.

Next, Lin Yi issued several orders as the supervisor of the Ming Dynasty, ordering Zuo Liangyu, Liu Zeqing, Liu Liangzuo, who were fighting in Yichang, and Huang Degong, who was fighting in Shaanxi, to immediately dispatch their forces to Junzhou to stand by...

After Gao Guiying and Li Yan received Lin Yi's will, they were overjoyed, and immediately started the next step according to the predetermined plan. In the name of Li Dingguo, Li Yan and Gao Guiying asked Li Yan to imitate his handwriting and write a letter to Zhang Xianzhong. The letter said that Li Dingguo was seriously ill in the army and was in danger. He had written his last words and had nothing to ask for in this life, but to see his father for the last time.

After writing it, use Li Dingguo's great seal, and send Li Dingguo's confidant general, but this confidant general has already surrendered to Daming, and has received a lot of money and bribes from high-ranking officials, and sent the letter to Xijing.

Daxi Wang Zhang Xianzhong saw it, his face was full of astonishment, my son Dingguo was seriously ill and was in danger, my God, how could this happen?
Zhang Xianzhong couldn't accept it, Li Dingguo, who was all-powerful, just fell ill?And he was very ill. How many diseases must this have?

Especially when he saw Li Dingguo's last words, Zhang Xianzhong cried. Although Li Dingguo ranked second among his godsons, he regarded Li Dingguo as his own over the years, even closer than his own son.

This is also because Li Dingguo has always been loyal to him. He is used to fighting and has become his right-hand man. Now he is also one of the strong pillars of Daxi Kingdom.

Suddenly the father and son were separated by yin and yang. How could Zhang Xianzhong, who was an emperor but still somewhat chivalrous, endured it?

Zhang Xianzhong immediately took a few imperial doctors and [-] soldiers from the Beijing camp, left the capital (here refers to the capital of Daxi Kingdom, which is the later Chengdu City of Sichuan Province), and went straight to Junzhou...

In the Daming military camp at the mouth of the Sancha River, the peace talks between the Ming and the Qing were in progress.

Song Xiance: "Your envoy, these are a few simple clauses proposed by our Master Jian Guo. Please read them over, sign and bring them back with your seal, and then Daming will withdraw."

Song Xiance smiled, and spread out several terms that Lin Yi and him had drawn up in advance on the table.

Hong Chengchou was a little dizzy when he saw these items. The first item was that the Qing Dynasty had to pay tribute to the Great Qing Dynasty every year, and be a minister every year.

This first clause is fatal. If the Qing Dynasty is allowed to become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, the nature of the relationship between the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty will be determined, just like the current North Korea is to the Qing Dynasty, and the ancient North Korea was to the Ming Dynasty.

When it comes to death, I am afraid that the Qing Dynasty will not agree. The surname Lin Xin is bad enough, and he has seized the vital point when he stepped forward. Why don't you give the Qing Dynasty an ultimatum and ask them Xiaozhuang and Dorgon to surrender Shengjing with Emperor Shunzhi? Come on, what are you talking about!

Fortunately, I came this time to sell dog meat with a sheep's head, and the peace talks were just a cover, otherwise I would not be able to agree to the first one, and I would not be able to make decisions at all!

Thinking of this, Hong Chengchou held his breath and looked down patiently.

Article 71: Daming must return the land of Daming that it has plundered since the Battle of Saar Lake, including [-] cities and territories under its jurisdiction, including Shengjing.

This one is also very terrible. The Battle of Saar Lake took place at the beginning of this century, and it is now in the middle of this century. This happened 30 or [-] years ago. According to the strategic pattern, Nurhachi won many with less and completely defeated Ming, which caused Ming to lose a large area of ​​Liaodong territory.This is tantamount to knocking on the northeast gate of Daming, laying the foundation for his southward strategy.

However, the strategic significance of this battle is far more than that. In this battle, Nurhachi not only defeated Daming’s four-way army of 10,000+ people, but also defeated Daming’s hard-core ally North Korea. 5000 North Korean troops were forced to surrender. became a neutral country.

Also, in this battle, Nurhachi also conquered Ye Hao, the powerful enemy in the northeast. It can be said to kill three birds with one stone.

It can be seen that if there hadn't been the original Saerhu War, the Hou Jin and the Qing Dynasty would have always been barbarians on horseback. Now Lin Yi wants them to return to the state before the Saarhu War, thereby denying Nurhachi's this A peerless classic example of winning more with less is like a sports field where you finally broke the world record and won the championship. Now that Ji Dong wants to go back and start all over again, what can the Manchus do?

Among other things, can these more than 70 cities of the Qing Dynasty be returned to the Ming Dynasty?Is it possible that they moved the capital from Shengjing back to Haotuala City?This is tantamount to bringing the Qing Dynasty back to before liberation!

I am afraid that Nurhachi Huang Taiji was so angry that he had to crawl out of his grave with these terms!
Hong Chengchou looked at it while slandering in his heart, the surname Lin is really cruel, and such terms of peace talks can be thought of, is this called peace talks?This is simply an overlord clause, thanks to our lack of sincerity!

Hong Chengchou continued to read Article 3. It was okay for him not to read Article 3, but it was even more difficult for him to accept it.

It was impressively written above that the Qing Dynasty should compensate the Ming Dynasty for the expenses of all the wars since the Battle of Saerhu, including the Battle of Saarhu, the Battle of Ningjin, the Battle of Linghe, and the several times when the Manchu Tartars crossed the Great Wall The looting battles carried out twice reached the capital of Ming Dynasty.

Of course, all the expenses of these wars must be borne by the final defeated country. Lin Yi calculated for him, and converted all of them into silver. A total of 14 billion taels of silver needs to be compensated, no fractions, just take an integer 3800 billion taels.

14 billion taels of silver!

Not to mention the small Qing Dynasty, this figure is an astronomical figure for any country.

Hong Chengchou grew up so big, he had never seen such a large number, and it was silver, with some wholes and some zeros. He didn't know how Ji Dong calculated it.

I really can ask for it, the kid surnamed Lin is crazy about silver, and he asked for 14 billion taels. He thinks that the Qing Dynasty is rich in gold and silver everywhere!

Hong Chengchou gritted his teeth, kept calm and kept his composure, and continued to look down. There are several articles on the trade between the two sides, and there are also clauses such as military service for Daming.

Doesn't this mean that the Qing Dynasty will perish for me?Either one will kill!

But you are so ruthless, I, Hong Chengchou, also have my own way, that is to procrastinate!
