Chongzhen Chat Group

But even so, King Long was still frowning because he felt that the tactics that could deal with the Ming army would take time to use. But he is gathering the entire country's army to fight against him. If he gathers for one more day, he will consume countless supplies. The national strength accumulated in the past two years is rapidly being consumed.

If he was asked to lead the army to attack Mubang, Mengmi and other places, he would not be sure. Because this time the Ming army obviously planned before moving. After occupying the northern front line, they immediately started operations. As a result, the attack was much more difficult.

"To use a small country to regret a big country is to pull chestnuts from the fire!" King Thalong stood on the top of Ava City, looking north in the distance, and murmured to himself.

At the same time, his countermeasures were quickly reported from Xizuo to the Tang Dynasty King, to Min Hongxue, and even to Emperor Chongzhen as soon as possible.

It was also expected that King Talong would gather troops from all over the country to garrison Ava, and it was something that the Ming emperors and ministers were happy to see. The tactics used by big countries against small countries can actually be bullied with strength. For example, to deal with Jianlu, it is a waste of national power, so that Jianlu, who has no combat power, can't use any of his combat power; to deal with Dongwu, this is actually the same method. Where is the force spread out? Look at the small country of Dongwu. How much time can be consumed?

However, what Emperor Chongzhen did not expect was that King Long would be so cruel that he slaughtered all the Ming people in Dongwu. The blood flowed everywhere and the Jinsha River turned red for several days.

Min Hongxue was very angry when he saw the emperor in the temporary group, so he asked someone to say: "Dongwu's cruelty is not an example! During the Wanli period, there was Daming Street outside Dongwu Jiangtou City, where Min, Guang, Jiang, and Shu lived There were tens of thousands of entertainers, and there were also tens of thousands of those who carried the Three Proclaimers and Six Comforts. A short while ago, I heard that the Heavenly Army was about to attack the south. Fearing that they were internal collaborators, they imprisoned them by the river, set them on fire, and blocked the river with their corpses."

When Emperor Chongzhen saw this, he couldn't help but be furious! The little Dongwu dared to massacre like this. How to demonstrate the power of God and shock Zhou Bang without killing!

"Zhu Yujian, Min Hongxue, I order you and two others to kill Dong Wu, capture him alive as King Long, and escort him to the capital. I will chop him alive in front of the envoys from the kingdoms of the world to serve as a warning to other countries." Emperor Chongzhen almost gritted his teeth. He said, "From now on, who dares to raise a butcher's knife to me, the Ming Dynasty?"

It is not polite to call a minister by his first name. But both King Tang and Min Hongxue knew that the emperor was very angry at this time, and they could understand the emperor's mood, so they didn't care. Instead, they both responded and immediately agreed to capture him alive, King Long!

"Your Majesty, our Ming army has now occupied the front line of Mengmi, Mengyang, and Mubang. Among them, Mengmi produces gems and gold in the east, silver in the south, iron in the north, and aragonite in the west; Mengyan produces aragonite, To produce gold, we must first stabilize these outputs. At the same time, the army must be trained after the first war. Only in this way can we become elite soldiers. It will not be difficult to defeat Ava." Min Hongxue asked someone to play in the crowd again.

The army of the King of Tang Dynasty was basically made up of refugees and disaster victims. Although it had been trained for more than a year, it had never experienced war. Even if the backbone of the army is officers drawn from various guards, such an army still needs to be tempered in order to become a truly elite soldier. The first surprise attack was mainly due to the sufficient preparations in the early stage and the unexpectedness. In fact, a real tough battle had not been fought.

Now King Thalon has led all the troops of the country to Ava, so the battle of Ava will be a decisive battle, and it will also be a tough and bitter battle. What Min Hongxue said was that we should continue to run this army together to avoid the possibility of defeat.

Emperor Chongzhen was not a rookie either. He had personal experience in commanding the Liaodong war. He also understood the hidden meaning of Min Hongxue's words. He knew that he also had hidden meanings and told him not to rush it. This matter should not be rushed.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen also remembered that in the original history, when Hong Chengchou led the main force of the Ming army to launch the Songshan battle against Jianlu, it was because of the constant urging from the capital to send troops that it ultimately led to a complete defeat. Although the logistics pressure was too great at the time, if we were a true soldier, we probably would not have done this.

In this war in Dongwu, Emperor Chongzhen on this plane would not forcibly interfere with the decision-making of the frontline commander. However, as the Ming Emperor, he could also have an impact on the war.

Whether it is to capture King Talong, the executioner who massacred the people of the Ming Dynasty, or to help the King of Tang occupy Dongwu so that the feudal king's feudal overseas strategy can be implemented, the war on Dongwu's side must not be defeated!

Thinking of this principle, Emperor Chongzhen was a little worried about the combat power of the army trained by King Tang. He thought about it alone for a long time. Suddenly, an idea came to his mind, and he was overjoyed. How could I forget that I still have a power in my hand that I can use!

So, he immediately chatted privately with the King of Tang Dynasty: "I still have an elite army in my hands, which is good at fighting in the mountains. If I send it to Dongwu, it will be able to help you. But now I am sending troops to Liaodong, and next year I will march in person. Although I can divide the troops for you, but the military pay and food..."

As soon as he said this, the king of Tang understood what Emperor Chongzhen meant. Suddenly, he was overjoyed.

Isn't it just money? The only thing you have is money! Gu Cha is an elite soldier, Gu wants to capture Dongwu immediately, start to truly take control of the military and political power, and become a real vassal king!

Without Min Hongxue's explanation in the group, the King of Tang thought that his army was already strong. But even though Min Hongxue said this, he was not arrogant enough to think that he was right and Min Hongxue was wrong. Therefore, the desire for elite soldiers is very strong.

Therefore, after Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, the King of Tang immediately replied: "Your Majesty wants to send elite troops and strong generals to help me capture Dongwu. I will be responsible for paying for the army to start the war. Even if the number of troops is too large, I still have the financial resources." The shortcoming is that the grain fields of the Tang Dynasty have not yet been auctioned. "

The implication is that he has plenty of money. Your emperor wants to send troops. The more the better. At worst, the grain fields will be auctioned earlier.

Emperor Chongzhen saw this, thought for a while, and felt that the battle of Dongwu, which was currently going to be decisively fought in Ava, was unlikely to be defeated if Min Hongxue commanded it and added a strong army of elite troops. In this case, it should be possible to make the matter of King Tang public, and then the auction of the grain fields can also be started.

Thinking of this, he said to the King of Tang: "In that case, I will send an order to the southwest and order the Baigan Army to go to Dongwu to help you!"

After Qin Liangyu led the army to King Qin last time, he led the Baigan Army back to Sichuan, and continued to obey the orders of Governor Zhu Xieyuan to suppress the rebellion of the southwestern chieftains. After inspecting the Shanxi merchants, Ma Xianglin and his wife also returned to Sichuan. Now that the Southwest Chieftain Rebellion has basically been put down, the Baigan Army should also be able to be mobilized. With the financial resources of the Tang Dynasty as a guarantee, I believe that there will be no difficulty in setting off this elite Baigan Army to Dongwu.

After agreeing on this matter, Emperor Chongzhen turned his attention back to the capital. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and during this New Year's Day, big dramas should also be staged.

Therefore, an imperial edict was issued, and some new procedures were added on the day of commemoration at the Ming Zhonglie Hall.

On this day, the people of the capital once again got up before dawn. Logically speaking, seeing the emperor pay homage to the Ming Dynasty Martyrs Hall last year is not that new. There should be a certain number of people sleeping under the quilt in this winter.

However, not only did this situation not happen, but the number of people taking to the streets after the curfew ended was far more than last year. What is even more exaggerated than last year is that this time, the inns in the capital are almost full of people. They come from various towns in the capital to watch the ceremony. For this reason, even those who have traveled farther away, even on New Year’s Eve No matter if I can't make it back for the reunion, I won't hesitate.

They hurried to Fengtianmen Square. The cold wind blew against their faces. Most of them did not speak. However, some acquaintances greeted each other and talked to each other when they met.

"Hey, Boss Li, why did you come to the capital? Are you here to see what happened today?"

"Yes, I think back then, my whole family was spared because I was doing business outside. There was a blood feud in the family. No matter what, I would always come over and have a look."

"That's right. At that time, the capital was ravaged by the Jianlu, and many families were destroyed. I heard that the Ming traitor who was going to be chopped alive this time was the biggest Ming traitor on the Jianlu side. He gave advice to the Jianlu. I don't know. How many compatriots have been killed, and this man even treats us Han people like livestock and drives them to make military food for the Jianlu captives. I don’t know how such a person is raised?"

"..."

After hearing their conversation, a passerby interrupted and said, "Don't you know? I heard that this man claimed to be a descendant of Fan Zhongyan from the former Song Dynasty. I don't know if Fan Zhongyan would react when he heard that there was such an unscrupulous descendant. Jump out of the grave!"

"So, this time, we in the Jianghu have issued a pursuit order just to catch this traitor. Not to mention, it is thanks to us in the Jianghu that we can catch this traitor this time!" A member of the Jianghu said The man dressed in human clothes listened to their discussion and chimed in, speaking with a little pride.

In the past, people in the world were not popular with the people and kept a low profile, otherwise they would probably attract people from the government. But this time, in this public square, this person from the world took the initiative to expose his identity.

When Boss Li heard this, he immediately clasped his fists and saluted him: "Nice to meet you, nice to meet you. I wonder where the three heroes Hou who discovered Fan Wencheng's traitor are?"

"He, I heard that the emperor summoned him yesterday, praised him to his face, and asked him to join the Jinyi Guards as a guard. Also, his eldest brother would rather die than surrender, and the tablet must be approved by the emperor himself, and he can enter the Ming Zhonglie Hall to offer incense. Haha, this is our world. I never thought I would have the opportunity to enter the Zhonglie Hall!" The man from the world replied with a little envy and a little pride.

After hearing this, Boss Li nodded immediately and said: "There used to be heroes like Guo, and now we also have heroes in the Ming Dynasty. Didn't I say that every time there are people who slaughter dogs for justice, there are also many people, heroes, and heroes in the world!"

"..."

Halfway through the walk, my blood was flowing, and I felt that it was not so cold anymore. There were more people talking, and one of them asked with a little curiosity: "By the way, how can this traitor want to die if he doesn't stay well in Liaodong?" , actually came to the pass?"

Many people were surprised when they heard this. Immediately, a well-informed person broke the news: "Don't you know? The imperial army has captured Anshan Posthouse, and the troops are approaching Liaoyang and Shenyang. The slave chief could not sit still and had to send this traitor into the pass to find an opportunity. , trying to fight to the death!"

Hearing this, I thought of a series of victories, and then thought about the past. An older middle-aged man said with emotion: "I didn't expect that now our Ming army has beaten Jianlu to the point where he can't even fight back. All kinds of crooked ways have started!"

After saying this, many people sighed with emotion. One of the younger ones smiled and said loudly: "There will be a military parade later. Those troops who have won the battle will come to praise their merits. This time, you must take a good look. , what kind of army can defeat such a powerful Jianlu like this!"

"Yes, a while ago, cavalry troops kept returning to Beijing. At first I thought something had happened, but later I found out that they were the ones who had won the war and had sent back to receive this honor!"

"..."

After talking about it, someone said with a smile: "There was a memorial ceremony, we could see the emperor, we could see the great traitor beheaded alive, we could also see the mighty master of our Ming Dynasty. This trip was not in vain!"

"Yes, even if I can't go back this year for the New Year's Eve, I might see this grand event and it will still be worth it!"

"..."

Amid such discussions, crowds of people slowly gathered at Fengtianmen Square.

Because of the experience of the previous memorial ceremony, the troops of the five cities were dispatched early. They were vigilant, stood guard, and directed the crowd. Although the number of people was larger than before, it was orderly and there was no chaos at all.

At the same time, there were many soldiers on the school grounds on the Beijing camp side. Many soldiers of the Beijing camp looked at the soldiers lining up in the middle, with envy on their faces. It is said that only those who win the top prize will parade around the streets to show off. But now, as a soldier, I can actually have a day where I can parade around the capital to praise my merits. More people are watching than the No. 1 Scholar Parade. There are even the emperor, civil and military officials, and envoys from various countries watching. This honor, It can be said for a lifetime!

They were envious of the fact that the soldiers who were lining up waiting for orders were extremely proud and excited. Soldiers like them never dreamed that this day would come to pass. When the intention of the military parade reached the army, I don't know how many comrades regretted that they had not done more meritorious service and could not compare with others, but could only watch them come to the capital to participate in the extremely glorious military parade.

At this moment, they felt that the desperate fight on the battlefield was worth it! When he gets old, he will sit at the door of the yard and think about this life. At this moment, he should be content!

Thinking like this, they all held their heads high and were full of energy. Each of them secretly told themselves that they must show their best side to the people of the capital, to the adults, and to the emperor!
