Chapter 188: Change

"Why?" Li Nian was puzzled. This had blocked the Eight Banners soldiers. Maybe it was a big victory.

"Look there, the terrain is flat, there is only one small mountain ridge, enough for the enemy to form a minimal army formation. As long as they break through the first line of defense, they can escape along the mountain ridge.

Our army can't stop it at all.Even if you try to stop it, you will suffer huge casualties.In the end, most of the enemy troops will break through.

We only had half a day to deploy our defenses after receiving the news. It seemed that the siege was completed, but the defensive position was not completed at all.It's not worth fighting this battle. "

Li Yan knew very well in his heart that if he could block the Zhunta in a haste in this battle, it would be very good.

"Why not defend the city in Tai'an? The Hou Jin army is not good at attacking the city." Li Nian had many questions.

"What the emperor means is to let our Luzhong army threaten Houjin on Hedong Road, so that they can't let go south. You have been blocked in Tai'an City. Even if you can defend it for three years, can you pose a threat to the opponent? "

"It's not fair, we can't defend the city; we can't fight in the field, how can we fight this kind of battle!"

"You are wrong. There is no such thing as absolute fairness in war. From now on, I am afraid that we will have to fight mobile in the future. The horses in the valley must be harvested. Whether we can run faster in the future depends entirely on them." gone."

Li Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head.This kind of strategic vision is very bold, and it was finally completed by him and Zhu Youjian in Xuzhou.The generals in the past would only stick to the city, and no one dared to imagine the war from an overall perspective.

When Zhu Youjian put forward the argument that "if you save land and lose people, all people and land will be lost; if you save people and lose land, all people and land will survive!", Li Yan was really impressed.He recalled the summary of Chuangjun's more than ten years of combat, all because he didn't take the city as the only target, even if there were only eighteen horses left in the fight, he could turn over in the end.

Not taking one city and one place as a strategic goal is purely political thinking, which has been divorced from military assumptions.

"Then we're going to abandon Tai'an City?" Li Nian was shocked, completely unable to understand why his brother had such an idea.

"Yes. We must be prepared to abandon Tai'an at any time. The mission of the Luzhong Army is to preserve the main force. As long as the main force exists, the entire Shandong is a place we can go to anytime and anywhere.

With horses we fight on the plains, but without horses we fight in the mountains.Do not engage in large-scale positional warfare with the enemy, but only concentrate on attacking their weak points.

The emperor called this method of warfare: main force guerrilla warfare. "

"The emperor is so unfair. Why can Huaihai only fight for the city, but we have to run around and fight."

"No, you're wrong again. Your Majesty thinks highly of me. Huaihai is fighting nail warfare, while we are fighting mobile warfare. This is a completely different strategic goal."

"Then shall we chase after?"

"Of course, yes! Hurry up and send someone to chase after him, and chase after him fiercely. It's still very enjoyable to do the thing of beating the dog in the water."

"Hahaha!"

Zhunta is now in great trouble. When Zheng Wei led people to build the dam, he was afraid that there would not be enough water to block it, so he desperately asked people to raise it higher.As a result, the dam collapsed without sustaining it for even two hours, let alone one day.

The flood flowed down the river and washed the whole valley out of a large muddy pool.Zhunta led the people out of the encirclement, and finally went around the downstream of the dam. He wanted to escape along the main road, but he couldn't go the same way, so he had to continue to escape along the mountain ridge.Along the way, there were constant chasers, and fortunately it was the Eight Banners of this generation. If it was the Eight Banners of the later generations who fought dogs and walked birds, I am afraid that the entire army would be wiped out by the edge of this river valley.

......

"Crack!" In the Kunning Palace in the capital, Dorgon slammed the military newspaper on the ground in front of Da Yuer.

Zhunta is Dorgon's confidant, this time he got off to a bad start, and Dorgon's face was completely ashamed.

"Quickly ask the Ministry of War to order that the whole army of Duoduo retreat." Dorgon was angry, but he was not confused.Shandong Road failed, and Duoduo's army alone could not make waves in Huaisi. According to the current situation, Nanjing is clearly prepared.What's more, Li Benshen, the demobilized general of Haozhou, reported that what Zhu Youjian set up in Fengyang was a trap. Before, everyone didn't believe it, but looking at it now, this is basically true.

"Give Li Benshen the third-class elite Qi Nihafan, and serve as the admiral general. He will be transferred to the capital to wait for his dispatch!"

"twitter!"

"See that you are in a hurry, sit down and rest." Da Yuer was happy seeing Dorgon's busyness. After all, this country is guarded for her son, and people can't always think about themselves.

"Can I not be in a hurry? This damn Zhunta has lost a total of [-] horses, and [-] of my Daikin's warriors. It really deserves to be killed!"

When Zhunta fled, he still took half of his horses with him, and fought a few more battles along the way, losing a lot of troops.When he ran to Changqing, he was unable to go south again.

"I don't think Shandong is so peaceful. Let's find a way to calm it down before thinking about going south." Da Yu'er does not lack political vision, which is very clear.

"I, Dajin, can't wait. If we can't go south quickly, once Chongzhen has gained a firm foothold, it will be difficult to fight again. For the present plan, we can only send heavy troops to Shandong to find Li Yan and fight him. And we should fight quickly quick decision."

Dorgon was eager to stand, and he swallowed when he thought of Jiangnan.The Azig tribe has already opened up Huguang, so is the land of flowers and flowers in the south of the Yangtze River still far away?

"Who are you going to send? Everyone who can lead the army has already been dispatched." Da Yu'er was a little disappointed. She actually hoped that Dorgon would go in person, so that she would feel better in the capital. Come to her every night.

"Let Prince Su go." Dorgon rolled his eyes and thought about it, but he didn't want to leave the capital.

"This, can it work?" Da Yu'er was even more disappointed. Hauge was the enemy who seized the throne, and he was in charge of the military, so he was afraid of raising tigers.

"After all, he is the royal family that I love Xinjueluo. When he is in trouble, he will consider the overall situation. Put aside the strategy of Central Shu, wait until Shandong is pacified, and then deal with Zhang Xianzhong."

The atmosphere in the capital is very bad this spring, and the Houjin Eight Banners have begun to re-mobilize, and even Shenyang is also busy.In particular, the squeeze on the various ministries of Mongolia was even worse, and Dajin needed more horses to fight.

However, a few days after Dorgon issued the military order to dispatch Hauge, the news of Fengyang's defeat came again.This time, Dorgon couldn't hold on anymore, and fainted directly.

"Mr. Hong, what do you think of this matter?" Da Yuer was a little flustered, she was a woman after all.

"I suggest that Prince Ying's troops immediately withdraw to Henan, join forces with Prince Yu, and stabilize Henan first, so as to prevent the Ming army from advancing northward and pushing the battle line to the Dahe area."

Hong Chengchou was also stunned when he heard the news, how could this Daming be so capable of fighting all of a sudden.Let alone Li Yan, after all, he is a well-known general around Li Zicheng, and even Chongzhen can directly command the army to fight.

After Duoduo's defeat, the news that Zhu Youjian was the real commander of the Battle of Fengyang cannot be concealed. After all, Zhu Youjian declared war on Houjin in front of everyone in Fengyang City.

"At present, the Ming army is in full swing, and I agree with Lord Hong's opinion." Fan Wencheng also noticed that something was wrong. After fighting with Daming for so many years, it is clear who has more or less money.

"According to your wishes, the two troops will suspend Henan to rest, withdraw the soldiers from Shaanxi, and wipe out Li Yan with all their strength." Dorgon was supported by two maids into the hall, with his head resting on Dayu'er's shoulder, his voice trembling. Much weaker.

Zhu Youjian's two double-double punches completely changed the direction of history. Li Zicheng, who was already on his deathbed, suddenly occupied Huguang. However, what he occupied was an empty Huguang, and his strength did not increase. The living space is larger, so there is no need to rush to Hunan.

And Zhang Xianzhong from Sichuan didn't die, he hid in the West Palace every day, drinking, singing and dancing, and even changed his murderous personality.The situation was very good, and Zhang Xianzhong's order to massacre was not conveyed until he heard the news that Houjin withdrew his troops, so he stopped the massacre, turned over his hands and began to govern in the middle of Shu.

Most of the people in Sichuan escaped a catastrophe. Even Li Dingguo felt that his adoptive father's attitude had changed drastically. He even married several concubines and planned to have a son to inherit the throne.

Chapter 189: Defining Traitors

On the seventh day of April, the streets of Nanjing are empty.

From the ferry, go all the way to Sanshan Street.Of course, the place where Nanjing murdered criminals was not the launch of Meridian Gate, let alone Caishikou.Sanshan Street has disappeared from later generations. From the comparison of old and new maps, it can be seen that Sanshan Street, as a street, is actually a section of Zhonghua Road, that is, the section from Jiankang Road intersection to Jiaoshi Lane intersection on Zhonghua Road.

The prison cage dragged by two bullock carts walked slowly towards the execution ground, and countless people threw all kinds of rotten vegetables, rotten melons and fruits, and rotten eggs at the criminals along the way.

This is a customary ceremony, the purpose is to tell everyone the fate of being a traitor.This kind of ceremony is very necessary for the stability of a country's political power.

"Kill these two traitors and traitors." Zhu Youjian was not the first to invent the word traitor.

As a special term with a specific meaning, "Han Jian" should refer to the traitorous officials of the Han Dynasty no later than the "Zhou Yi Yan Yi" compiled by Hu Zhen in the Yuan Dynasty. Volume [-] of "Zhou Yi Yan Yi" says: "Li Gu wanted to get rid of the traitors, but was poisoned by the gangsters, but he was determined to get rid of the traitors, so why is Yu Yi to blame? Ge Liang wanted to kill the traitors, but he was poisoned and mistreated by Jieting Also, if the ambition is to destroy the bandits, what is Yu Yi to blame?" Traitors and bandits are symmetric.

According to Wu Mi's "Han Jian Debate": "Zhu Xieyuan died in the spring of the 11th year of Chongzhen (1638), and Yang Sichang died in the 14th year of Chongzhen (1641). be consolidated.

It can be seen from this that the term "traitor" has not been popular since it was born in the Yuan Dynasty and reappeared in Ming Chongzhen ten years ago.
