Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 924 Rogue Battle (addition for August 500 monthly pass)

Da Kongdai directly ignored the second half of the sentence, or he was shocked by Li Zicheng's previous words, and immediately asked: "What did you say, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty appeared? What does this mean?"

The 30-year war that has just passed was actually a religious war, with supporters of several religious sects fighting, plus a struggle for secular kingship.

However, no matter how hard I fought, I didn't see any real miracles.

Therefore, when Kong Dai heard that there were miracles in the Far East, to be honest, he was a little unbelievable.

Li Zicheng heard this, and said with a bit of hatred: "That's right, otherwise it would be absolutely impossible for the fatuous Ming emperor to turn the tables. I heard that Emperor Taizu and the most holy teacher appeared together in the Jinluan Hall, and the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty The ministers have seen it with their own eyes!"

"Didn't you see it with your own eyes?" Da Kongdai asked after hearing this, a little disappointed.

Li Zicheng was speechless and had to remind: "I am a rebel, can I go to the palace to see it?"

Of course he didn't know, if it was the original history, he really had to go to the palace himself.

Da Kongdai heard this, thinking in his heart, I am also a rebel now, but I have been to the palace, okay!
However, he didn't say this, but asked him something more interesting: "Then how did the Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty use the method of manifesting spirits, and how did you get overthrown?"

The man in front of him said that he had led an army of one million. If so many troops were really needed, he couldn't imagine how he could lose?
When Li Zicheng heard his question, he hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "The emperor of the Ming Dynasty seems to have changed. He has become very accurate in judging people. All the princes inherited from the founding of the country were killed, and suddenly they had money to build sophisticated weapons and armor. They seemed to know what was going to happen, and started to calculate very early..."

Looking back afterwards, he felt that the Battle of Kaifeng was played strangely.Not to mention that before he arrived, Sun Chuanting would have arrived in Kaifeng ahead of schedule, and deployed in a targeted manner, and the Shizhubaigan Army as far away as Sichuan would also appear there. If Emperor Taizu did not count, he would not believe it. .

Moreover, if it hadn't been for the emperor Taizu's manifestation, he would not have believed that the fatuous emperor could kill the hereditary duke.

Suddenly, there was a big change in the court. If it was said that it came from the ability of Emperor Taizu, it could be completely explained.

Da Kongdai listened to him explaining the various mysteries of the Ming Empire, and did not interrupt, but only weighed in his heart.

He didn't really believe that there were no divine soldiers and angels descending from the sky.He believed even more that it was the Ming emperor who did his job well.

But after listening to Li Zicheng's explanation, he probably believed that Li Zicheng was not a liar.

If it is a liar, it is impossible to make up such a perfect lie, especially when many of them involve the army.

However, if you want to say how much he believes in Li Zicheng, that's not necessarily the case.

No, when Li Zicheng was about to say something, Da Kongdai suddenly asked: "You said, you are here to help me solve the current predicament, what advice do you have?"

Having said so much, I finally got to the point.

Li Zicheng cleared his throat, and said seriously to Kong Dai: "If I'm right, Your Highness will definitely lose if you continue to fight like this, but as long as Your Highness changes the fighting method according to our proposal, you can turn defeat into victory!"

Grand Condé heard this, and his face was a little ugly. He is the most famous general in France, and outsiders from the far east can see that he is bound to lose. This is definitely a shameful thing.

At this time, he thought that the other party was also the leader of the army, and at the same time he was a little curious about Dongfang's tactics, so he asked with a little more respect in his tone: "Then what is your proposal?"

Hearing this, Li Zicheng immediately said seriously: "Give up attacking Paris!"

"Huh? Give up attacking Paris?" Da Condé was a little surprised when he heard it, "If this is the case, didn't I give up all my previous efforts? If I can take down Paris, then I will win this war!"

After hearing this, Li Zicheng asked without hesitation: "The problem is that His Highness cannot defeat Paris. The current situation is already a situation where the enemy is strong and His Highness is weak. How can we fight?"

After hearing this, Da Kongdai couldn't help being silent.This is a fact and cannot be refuted.

Seeing that he was silent, Li Zicheng raised his voice and continued: "If the enemy is strong and we are weak, we should avoid the enemy's main force and look for the enemy's weak points. While strengthening our army, we must weaken the enemy's army. Change, until I am strong and the enemy is weak, it is time for the decisive battle!"

According to historical reviews, Grand Conde is better at tactics, while Turenne is better at strategy.The same is true. In the original history, the combination of the two of them made France the land hegemony of Europe.

In the duel between Grand Condé and Turenne, Grand Condé's strategic mistakes made him lose to Turenne even though he was superb in tactics.

Relatively speaking, Li Zicheng is a master of strategy.In the end, it was not unreasonable for him to stand out in the late Ming Dynasty.

By judging the war in France, he saw the shortcomings of Grand Condé at a glance, and also realized that the combination of him and Grand Condé can obtain the greatest benefits, so he took the initiative to come to the door.

At this time, what he said was like a thunderbolt in Da Kongdai's ears, which shocked Da Kongdai.If it is not a person with a real level, it is absolutely impossible to say such a thing.

Thinking of this, Kong Dai immediately corrected his attitude, ordered his guards to serve tea, and invited Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin to sit down, and then asked Li Zicheng in that respectful manner: "Then specifically, what should I do?" How about doing it?"

Li Zicheng can naturally see that this is really valued by Da Kongdai.

So, he got more energetic, and explained to Kong Dai: "Simply speaking, regardless of the gains and losses of a city or a place, where the imperial army is strong, avoid fighting, and specifically look for where the imperial army is weak. Attack. Attack the weak with the strong, keep winning battles, obtain food and grass, and replenish soldiers, so that we can grow stronger as we fight! The imperial court officers and soldiers have the responsibility of defending the land, and they will definitely pay attention to one thing and lose another."

Having said that, he raised his voice a little, emphatically saying: "The key to this type of warfare is mobile warfare."

Da Kongdai nodded again and again. He is very good at fighting, but he just focuses on tactics.At this time, when I heard Li Zicheng's strategic explanation, I felt a sense of enlightenment.

That's right, why are you clinging to Paris so hard?Obviously can't beat Turenne, why fight him hard?
Feeling that he had learned something new, Da Kongdai became excited, and hurriedly and modestly asked: "Then how should I do it in terms of specific implementation?"

These things are what Li Zicheng was good at back then, so he didn't even think about it, and immediately went on to say: "In mobile warfare, it's about constantly strengthening yourself. Therefore, every time you go to a place, you collect local food and grass, forcing the local people to live. Then they have to serve His Highness. They can be driven to attack the enemy, consume the enemy, and finally the main force will go out to fight and win in one stand."

"Big waves wash the sand, and those common people who can stay after the war can be used as elites. Repeatedly, His Highness's army will be able to fight stronger and stronger. As for the imperial court, once there is no food and grass in the place, they must find a way Relief, otherwise the people will complain, and if His Highness does not need to come forward, they will turn against the court, which is also beneficial to His Highness..."

Li Zicheng narrated the tricks of the thief, so that Da Kongdai sometimes nodded, sometimes shook his head, sometimes praised, and sometimes frowned.

The reason is very simple. The status of Kong Dai is different from that of Li Zicheng at the beginning, and the national conditions are also different. He cannot do some of Li Zicheng's actions.

However, from a purely military point of view, Kong Dai did have this vision, and it is indeed very useful to be able to distinguish the methods Li Zicheng said.

For example, before attacking a place, send people to sneak into the city first, and then lead the troops to attack, and cooperate from inside to outside to take down the city.From the perspective of Grand Conde, it is indeed good.

However, he disagreed with saying that when a place is conquered, the local nobles will be killed, their food will be robbed, and some will be distributed to the poor.Because the Grand Kongdai itself is a great nobleman.

In essence, he is different from Li Zicheng.

In the tent of the Chinese army, Da Kongdai and Li Zicheng communicated and exchanged views with each other.

It is also thanks to the fact that Da Kongdai is more of a general who leads troops and fights, so he has a lot in common with Li Zicheng, so he didn't turn his face because of some differences of opinion.

Just like that, Li Zicheng also basically understood the concerns of Da Kongdai.

After taking a sip of tea and moistening Lin's throat, he asked Grand Kong Dai: "Your Highness, if this battle fails, will the court let His Highness go? Or, can Your Highness continue to enjoy the glory and wealth?"

In the original history, after the defeat of Condé the Great, he fled to Spain alone, and he was not pardoned until the King of France came to power and felt his military talent.

Of course, Grand Condé must not know this history.He thought about it for himself, based on what he had done, if he was caught by the court, it would not be impossible for him to be hanged, not to mention, there might be the possibility of enjoying the glory and wealth.

Seeing that Kong Dai was silent, Li Zicheng continued to say sharply: "There is another important reason why you have lost many battles, that is, those nobles have abandoned you and supported the imperial court instead. Since they are not benevolent, you don't What's the problem after righteousness?"

After saying this, he saw that Kong Dai seemed to be a little moved, so he said further: "For the enemy, you must not be soft-hearted. You have led the army for many years, you don't understand this truth? At most, those nobles who surrendered to you , you can move them. But the nobles who support the imperial court are your enemies, why can’t you move them?”

In the end, Grand Condé was persuaded.Of course, this is also related to his feeling that he is in a desperate situation!
