Ming Taizi's Total War

Chapter 203
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there was the giant bandit Fang Guozhen, and during the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, there were those who were envoys of the vassal town. There are countless people like this. As long as you have soldiers and strong force, no matter which force you come to, you will be able to defeat them. Can become a noble with a title.

"Wu Sangui was crowned king not because of his merits, but because of his military strength." Xu Dingguo pointed out Liu Zeqing.

"If whoever has the highest merit can be crowned king, how could it be his turn? There are many grandparents and grandchildren in the Han army banner who have served for the Qing Dynasty for generations. They died in battle and made great contributions."

"But they have no soldiers and no force, so they can only be a moderate official. It sounds very powerful, but at most the lives of future generations will be better because of this, but they will not be able to enjoy the glory for generations. Wealth.”

After Xu Dingguo said this, Liu Zeqing finally changed his mind and was ready to submit to Chiqing.

"Okay, when can I submit to Mi Qing?"

Although it is very dangerous to submit to the Qing Dynasty, the Qing army has just entered the pass, and there are still millions of square kilometers away from entering the Central Plains and ruling the world, but is it not dangerous to stay in the Ming army?Still not the same.

Besides, for the sake of future generations, for the sake of success in this life, for the sake of becoming a prince, what can I do if I don't work hard.

"Don't worry, I'm sending someone to talk to Prince Yu, Prince Yu didn't think it through yet, he said he will notify after a while, we just need to wait quietly."

To Liu Zeqing's surprise, Xu Dingguo was not in a hurry to ask him to lead his troops to surrender to Duoduo, but Liu Zeqing has not established contact with Duoduo at the moment, even if Xu Dingguo has some small thoughts, he can only endure it for the time being.

"Okay, so be it." Liu Zeqing agreed to Xu Dingguo.

In any case, Zhu Cihong never imagined that Liu Zeqing and Xu Dingguo would discuss collaborating with the enemy and treason so quickly, although he knew that Xu Dingguo and Liu Zeqing were weak bones in history, and they would collapse when facing the Qing army.

But after all, there was a reason for the ineffective command of the Hongguang court. Zhu Cihong felt that his control over the army in this life was much stronger than that of the Hongguang court, and there should be no problem of generals defecting.

It's a pity that people's hearts are unpredictable, and today's world is unpredictable, everyone is thinking about their own future, and there are actually not a few people who want to seek refuge in Mi Qing.

At the same time, Zhu Cihong was packing his bags from Huaiqing and preparing to set off for Tongguan.

There are only [-] Qing soldiers from Haoge in Huaiqing City, and they don't get enough supplies, and their combat effectiveness is declining every day, but Zhu Cihong doesn't plan to attack the city.

Even if Hauge only has such a small number of people, and he has internal support, he can play a huge role in the siege, but when the siege comes, those Qing troops will definitely resist and cause heavy casualties to Zhu Cihong.

Zhu Cihong does not want to suffer too many casualties, and even if he eats the 1 people of Haug, it will not have a big impact on the battle situation. It is better to go to Tongguan. If Duoduo can be defeated and the 10,000+ Qing army can be wiped out, then the situation will be better. It is clear.

"Your Majesty, you really want to go to Tongguan. The trespassers and the Tartars are fighting bloody battles there. It's extremely dangerous. Your Majesty is rich in gold, so don't take any risks." Hearing that Zhu Cihong was going to Tongguan, Qian Qianyi hurried over to persuade him.

"Are you scared? Don't want to go?" Zhu Cilang asked Qian Qianyi with a smile.

Although Qian Qianyi is the chief minister of the cabinet, as a minister of Zhu Cixiang, he has the obligation to follow the emperor wherever he goes. Hundreds of thousands of Manchu and Han troops are already fighting on the Tongguan battlefield. It is indeed very dangerous. Qian Qianyi is alone. It’s normal for scholars not to want to go.

"No, no, it's just that once His Majesty falls into a trap, what should the country do." Qian Qianyi said sadly, as if he was very afraid of losing Zhu Cihong.

It is not certain how much Qian Qianyi cares about Zhu Cihuang, but no matter what, Qian Qianyi must be very afraid of major political fluctuations in the Ming court. Little life may not be saved.

"Mr. Qian Ge, don't be nervous. It's not that there is no army around me. Tens of thousands of people are enough to ensure my safety." Zhu Cihong reassured Qian Qianyi.

"As for you, don't go with me. Huaiqing Mansion can't live without a respected court official. After thinking about it, I think you are the most suitable."

When Zhu Cihong left Huaiqing Mansion this time, he only planned to take away the imperial guards, as well as the banner guards and Jinyi guards, a total of 3 people, and the 3 people of Xiaoqiwei and Jinwu Four Guards, as well as tens of thousands of auxiliary soldiers and civilian husbands. They will all stay here and continue to besiege Huaiqing City.

There are 8 or [-] soldiers, auxiliary soldiers, and civilian husbands. If there is no powerful or prestigious person around, it will be difficult to coordinate and command well, so Zhu Cihong needs Qian Qianyi to stay here.

Anyway, it's useless for Qian Qianyi to be by Zhu Cihong's side. Qian Qianyi is only famous in the literary world, and in terms of practical work, he is not even as good as a petty official. As the saying goes, a scholar is worthless.

By Zhu Cihong's side, he could only draft the imperial edict. He could not offer any constructive opinions, and he did not dare to refute Zhu Cihong's imperial edict in consideration of the hardships of the people's lives. He was simply a mascot and a doll by Zhu Cihong's side.

It was like this every day, Zhu Cihong looked annoyed, and Qian Qianyi was also tired of such a boring job, in this case, why not leave Qian Qianyi in Huaiqing Mansion to take charge of military and political affairs.

Anyway, the Ming court has a very mature political system, Qian Qianyi does not need to have so much insight and strong ability, all he needs is that he does not come up with bad ideas, does not command the experts, and let those officers, middle and low-level officials be themselves The work is enough to ensure that the siege of Huaiqing City will not be broken.

After all, the rammed-earth city wall surrounding Huaiqing City built by Zhu Cihong with 10 manpower these days is not a decoration. If Hauge wants to leave the city, he must first build siege equipment like Zhu Cihong used to attack the city outside the city.

But siege of cities has never been what the people of Mizhou are good at, and most of the red cannons that the Qing army has been relying on are in the hands of Jierhalang and Duoduo.

"Me? I can't, Your Majesty." When Qian Qianyi heard that Zhu Cihong wanted him to stay in Huaiqing Mansion, he quickly shied away.

He is not afraid of the enemy troops in Huaiqing. All the Qing troops have been besieged in Huaiqing City, and they can't fly out even with wings. The prefectures and counties are almost the same, and after the war, a large number of people died, and even most of the bandits died.

It can be said that Huaiqing Mansion is extremely safe now, and there are no dangerous factors that may threaten Qian Qianyi's safety. Even if there are, mobilizing tens of thousands of soldiers can eliminate those dangers.
