Ming Taizi's Total War

Chapter 218 Li Zicheng

"But it's very difficult to do so." Azig suddenly frowned when he thought of something.

Who can guarantee that when Xu Dingguo and Liu Zeqing rebel before the battle, they will be able to rush to the Chinese army and kill Zhu Cihong?In case Li Zicheng sent troops at the same time, at most the Qing army could deploy tens of thousands of troops on both sides, and they would be in a temporary stalemate.

"Besides, without Duoduo's order, I have no way to mobilize the army to fight the Ming army." Azig said helplessly.

Although he is a general in command, his status in the army is still slightly lower than that of Duduo. Firstly, Duduo is Dorgon's younger brother. Since Dorgon broke Hauge's dream of inheriting the throne, he also After Cao Cao Shen Zhou commanded the Qing army to enter the pass, the prestige of Qing Qing greatly increased. As his younger brother, Duduo naturally achieved the Tao of chickens and dogs and ascended to heaven alone.

"As long as you are willing to personally lead the troops to defeat the Ming army, Prince Yu will definitely give you a large army." Wu Sangui said confidently.

In fact, before he came, he had already discussed with Duoduo, Kong Youde and others. After all, he was defeated, so he had to find a way to get back his face. It was Wu Sangui's way to enter the Ming army with Azig.

As an army from outside the customs, unlike the Central Plains army like the Ming army, they only know how to set up camps and fight silently. Where the army fights and how many people are sent out depends not only on the strength of the opponent, but also on the logistics supply capability.

The Qing army had a large number of livestock and was very mobile. They were used to looting Han villages to provide supplies for themselves, and they often lay in ambush and hunt between the ice and snow fields of Baishan and Heishui, so they were very good at sneaking up on the enemy like wild wolves in the dark.

Although there is no place for them to hide on the huge battlefield with tens of thousands of people, they still prefer to engage in sneak attacks.

This method is also the most suitable for their strength. The Qing army, especially the Eight Banners, has very precious soldiers and cannot be lost. It is too bad to use them all on the frontal battlefield to face the enemy head-on.

"Really? How could Doduo be so kind?" Azig didn't believe it. He didn't have much affection for Wu Sangui and Doduo, so he didn't believe Wu Sangui's words for a while.

"It's all for the Daqing to unify the Central Plains and the world, and for everyone's prosperity and wealth to be preserved from generation to generation." Since they are all his own people, Wu Sangui didn't say much about the scene.

Going to the battlefield is so dangerous, why are you all doing it?It's not just for getting promoted and making a fortune, but even more ambitious is conferring a wife and son. The ultimate goal is to be a prince like Wu Sangui, and then become a nobleman who will retire with the country.

Wu Sangui just put down his face and even beat his old master Zhu Ming, because he was a prince and still had a fief.

At the beginning, Wu Sangui thought it was better to rely on Li Zicheng based on the idea that he was all Han Chinese. Although Li Zicheng didn't offer him any good price, almost gave him nothing, and refused to even give him an empty position, Wu Sangui was still willing to take refuge in him at first. .

But when Dorgon appeared, all this changed. Dorgon promised to upgrade Wu Sangui several levels, from Pingxi Bo to Pingxi King directly, hereditary succession, and when the Central Plains was conquered, he would be given a provincial territory As his fief, as long as he doesn't betray Mi Qing, he can do whatever he wants in that fief.

Whether it's training the army, appointing officials, or burning, killing and looting, it's up to him.

Wu Sangui had no reason to refuse such a favorable condition. He knew very well that neither Dashun nor Daming could give him such a generous condition, because he was not indispensable to Dashun or Daming.

Only Taqing, a foreign regime that had just entered the customs and had a blood feud with Ming, could be willing to pay such a high price to Wu Sangui. Anyway, they had to wait for Wu Sangui to accompany them to conquer the world first.

"Okay, since that's the case, I agree, Wu Sangui, you will bring your Guanning iron cavalry with me when the time comes." Azig's tone was unquestionable.

"It's natural. It's a great honor for the last general to be able to charge into battle with Prince Ying." Wu Sangui had no intention of objecting.

Although this matter is very dangerous, once it succeeds, he, Wu Sangui, will also be recorded in the annals of history. So what if he betrays his master, as long as he can enjoy the inexhaustible glory and wealth for generations, he can do whatever he wants .

……

In Tongguan City, the lights of thousands of houses in the past were all extinguished, only a little fire remained in the yamen in the city.

Li Zicheng is discussing with his staff and generals here that Zhu Cihong and the Ming army came to Tongguan.

"If you want me to say, Your Majesty, let's go quickly. I heard that Jierhalang has captured the Yan'an Mansion in northern Shaanxi. We can no longer hold on to Shaanxi." General Liu Fangliang immediately stood up and said.

Before Li Zicheng sent troops to Shaanxi, he had already established a political power in Chang'an and set up a government office. Before he retreated from the capital, he proclaimed himself emperor in the capital and called himself Emperor Dashun Yongchang, so Liu Fangliang called him His Majesty.

"You have to leave here as soon as possible and go to the south, so that Dashun has a chance."

Dashun was established by Li Zicheng alone for more than ten years in the peasant war in the late Ming Dynasty. The field army generals of the five battalions of Dashun were either from various peasant armies, bandits, or from The surrendered Ming army, or Li Zicheng's old brother.

But no matter who they are, they can stand here together because of Li Zicheng, the man who led them to establish political power.

"The Ming army is here, and we still have hope. As long as we can quickly eat up Duduo, the Qing army, the Qing army will be nothing to worry about. Then it will be time for us to compete with the Ming court." Liu Zongmin and Liu Fangliang Contrary to his opinion, he felt that Shun Jun could try again.

The Qing army has too few fresh troops. As long as it is defeated once, Mi Qing will no longer have the power to compete for the world, and can only obediently retreat to Baishan Heishui as a separatist regime. Everyone knows this.

But it is a pity that neither the Shun army nor the Ming army has ever won a decisive victory, ruining most of the Qing army's new force. Tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people were lost every year.

"Ming army, heh, those officers and soldiers are all thieves. If they can believe it, sows will climb trees." Gu Kecheng stood up to refute Liu Zongmin.

They had just taken off the banner of the Peasant Uprising Army and changed their name to the Dashun Army not long ago, so many people still did not change their words, and still called the Ming Army the official army and the Ming court the official government.

"Your Majesty, it's better for you to take the army to the south, leave some soldiers for me, let me guard Tongguan, and let those Qing dogs see the integrity of our Central Plains people." Liu Fangliang suggested.
