Lord of Ming Dynasty

It is possible to increase the strength of the Qing army and the Huaxia army without firing a single shot, reverse the unfavorable situation of the Qing army, and strengthen the strength of the Qing army. Why not do it? This is exactly the situation that a scholar like him dreams of. , The decisive victory is thousands of miles away, the name will last forever, and the name will be left in the history.

After getting out of the big tent and returning to the tent arranged by the Portuguese, the Qing army took over the defense here, and then Feng Quan said to the people around him: "This time, relying on the strength of the Taixi people, one can attack the Nanming Kingdom. If Taixi It is of course good if people can destroy the Nanming Kingdom, but if not, both sides will suffer heavy losses, and it will be good for the Qing Dynasty, and we will clean up the mess when the time comes."

After he finished speaking, he turned to Kong Youxing and said, "How is King Dingnan's preparations going?"

Chapter 394 Good News

Kong Youde's Dingnan King and Li Dingguo's Dingxi King were not conferred by the same court. The kings of Kong Youde and Geng Jingzhong were all conferred by the Qing Dynasty, because of their contribution to the Ming Dynasty after entering the Qing Dynasty. It was too big to be crowned king.

Think about it, when the Qing army actually entered the customs, there were only so many people, 8 elite, and the Mongols were only 10,000+ people, and their total population was only a few people, less than a million.

Before entering the customs, during the Chongzhen period, the Manchu Jurchens lived in the harsh climate and cold north, between white mountains and black waters, and those who survived were strong and strong people who could fight and survive. Nature naturally eliminated many of them , Their population base is not large, so there can be a lot of 30 people.

In addition to years of battles, battles with other Jurchen tribes, battles with the Mongols, and battles with the border guards of the Ming Dynasty, although the battles between the border guards of the Ming Dynasty and them were only thunderous and rainy, but a few people died every year. A hundred people is still very easy. If it is a few million people, then it is not a problem at all, but a few hundred thousand people, a hundred people die, this is a big deal, and their population base will be reduced bit by bit.

Later, the Jurchens plundered the population from Mongolia, annexed many people, and found Jurchens from more remote mountains, and the population gradually increased. Later, the number of Han people who took refuge in the Jurchens increased, and the Jurchens buckled every time. , entering the customs to plunder the population, 10,000 to [-] at a time, and then directly [-]+ at a time, and the population reached one million after entering the customs.

These tens of thousands of elites wanted to defend their hometown, defend the Yanjing court, and go to the grasslands to suppress the Mongols, so there were actually not many troops.

But luckily for them.

The Donglin party members caused the Ming Dynasty's court disputes, and they kept making foolish tricks. There was no foolish emperor in the Ming Dynasty, but there were foolish ministers, and they kept giving them opportunities. Liaodong became a blood bank for them to suck blood from Daming. Liaodong Daming border The army also sucked blood from Daming, who was stabbed in the back by Li Zicheng in such a painful struggle, and then Wu Sangui knew the current affairs, grasped the situation very well, made a beauty, and welcomed the Qing army into the pass.

If you fight hard, the Qing army really dare not touch the Ming Dynasty, even though the Ming Dynasty has been rotten from top to bottom, but the dead camels are bigger than the horses, and the tens of thousands of them really dare not fight the Ming army , the Manchus are less than [-], and the Manchus are invincible. This is not to say that the Manchus are powerful, but to ridicule the Manchus that it is difficult to gather an army of [-] people.

But it was such a lie that scared the Ming army to fall against the wind. When the Han regime was in trouble, there was always the founding king who came to turn the tide, but now there is no more. Everyone is at ease for a long time, and the rest are corrupted by Confucian scholars After thinking about it, I just want to be a general who is a minister of the dragon, and I want to be a coward who enjoys wealth and wealth as a founding hero.

At this time, it should be more chaotic than during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. There are no heroes who can raise the banner and establish China, but nobles who want to fight. Well, none of those princes has a shrewd mind, they are all cowards.

Think back to when the Hongguang court had already had a situation of separation between the north and the south, the Qing army did not have so many troops to go south, so they tentatively sent [-] to [-] soldiers and horses, which broke the bluff of the Ming army.

When Prince Yu Duoduo went south, 4 Qing troops and the Donglin Party cooperated to kill Gao Jie, the surrendered general of the Dashun Army, and his general Li Chengdong immediately turned against him. Duo, Duo's army suddenly became [-].

Xu Dingguo also rebelled before, so it became 8 people. The Qing army felt that it was too easy to attack the Ming Dynasty.

Sweeping across the south of the Yangtze River, the Ming army surrendered in anticipation.

When the Hongguang court was still quiet in Yangzhou Ten Ritu, the Donglin party members instigated Zuo Liangyu to rebel. Zuo Liangyu was one of the four towns of Hongguang, with a large number of troops, at least 20 troops. , attached to the army of 60, with a total force of 80.

Such an army went south to attack the Hongguang court and change an obedient emperor. Then Zuo Liangyu went to Jiujiang and died. Zuo Menggeng gathered the army, and 80 people became 20. At that time, Azige came with 20 to [-] Qing troops. He was going to chase Li Zicheng, but Li Zicheng failed to catch up. Zuo Menggeng surrendered, so the Qing army laughed and got another [-] troops, okay? , went south, so the fighting Ming army fled in all directions, Huang Degong died, the four towns were scattered, and the Hongguang court was also on the road to his demise.

As for Kong Youde, Wu Sangui, and Geng Jingzhong, it is gratifying. When the four of them led a large army to the south, the Qing army had almost a million troops. Although the Ming army was also quite a lot, most of them were scattered everywhere and could not be gathered together to form a force. As a result, they were beaten and fled in all directions, and the counties and towns all over the country fell in anticipation, and the strength of the Qing army swelled like a snowball.re-expansion.

The Qing army no longer needs its own troops. It only needs to send 2000 or [-] people to escort tens of thousands of Ming troops to attack the city. Apart from defending the capital, the elite of the Qing army still have a surplus. All the officials are fighting for the Qing Dynasty, willing to be slaves, good, really good.

What's so great about sealing a few kings.

If it weren't for the hair-shaving order, if it wasn't for Longwu's resistance, if it wasn't for Li Dingguo and other Dashun, Daxi's peasant army resisted desperately, if it wasn't for the oppression of the Qing army later, I am afraid that there would not be so many rebels and insurgents, making it a big mess. Qing had a headache, and continued to send elite soldiers to suppress rebellions everywhere.

Of course, the elite soldiers at this time are already under the banner of the Han army. They have become the soldiers of the new dynasty, and they are no longer Ming people. Similarly, the Vietnamese are not the same as the Guangxi people, although they are also short in stature and speak a language that others cannot understand.

In fact, their national identity is no longer the Han people of the Ming Dynasty, but the Han people of the Qing Dynasty.

Of course, China does not have the skills of the descendants of the Huns in Turkey. The election can go to other countries to win votes. The Turks in other countries still admit that they are Turks. If there is trouble, Turkey can still use these Turks to win in other countries. Referendum, to return the land of other countries to Turkey, to become the land of Turkey, the land of Turkey.

When China went to other countries, the people of your own country taught you to behave like people from other countries. If you make money, you come back. If you don’t make money, you don’t come back. If you make money, you take it back, compensate allies, and pay taxes to allies. Don't come to our country to pay taxes, our country doesn't need it.

If you send in and send money again, there will be no Turkish ambitions. You can get us a referendum, and through this, the territories of other countries will become ours.

When the people of China go to the land of other countries, they can only become the citizens of other countries, and then they are educated by other countries, become the people of other countries, defend the honor of other countries, and then oppose China. The more so, the more they oppose it. Intense, but the dignitaries of other countries are very happy, watching you play with the citizens of their own country.

In a word, China is too big and there are too many people. If there are too many people, the hearts will be out of alignment. When will China be able to unite as one, be more brutal externally, and be kinder internally.

Kong Youxing replied respectfully to Feng Quan's question, "Our army has finished training, with 12 elite troops, plus [-] new recruits, and [-] recruits from the Ming army, making a total of [-] troops. , listen to your lord's orders at any time."

"Well, well, the negotiations have been going on for a while, and it is impossible for us to reach any agreement with the Huaxia Army. Several captured princes have also heard that they are dead. The Regent ordered that the Huaxia Army must be taken down in one fell swoop. To destroy the Huaxia Army, you should immediately send people back and let Dingnan King act immediately to attack Longwu Nanming and contain their troops. Let us destroy Longwu Nanming first and then surround the Huaxia Army to cut off their connection with the Yongli court. , cut off their trade routes, and they cannot be allowed to develop any more.”

"Yes, Master Feng, I will send someone back to tell the king." Kong Youxing bowed.

"Well, how many soldiers and horses did you bring this time?" Feng Quan asked again.

"The little one brought a total of [-] cavalry, all of which were elite cavalry of the Han army banner, and a hundred Manchu armored slaves, all of whom were elite fighters." Kong Youxing replied.

"Eight hundred troops, less, we can't let the Thais and Japanese contribute, we also have to have troops to contribute, otherwise it will be difficult to talk during negotiations in the future, you go and dispatch another two thousand soldiers, it seems that we can also contribute, so as not to be ridiculed,"

Kong Youxing knelt down, "My lord, in fact, this time the general will bring a total of [-] soldiers and horses. In the battle with the Ming army, he was sent to death by the Taixi people as cannon fodder and lost [-] soldiers and horses. Now only [-] soldiers and horses are left." Soldiers, but my lord, another [-] soldiers have sneaked here from Guangxi all the way through the territory of the Ming army, and they will arrive here tomorrow."

"How could this be? How could you listen to the Taixi people?" Feng Quan asked.

"My lord, before coming here, King Dingnan asked the villain to listen to the Taixi people, but he didn't know that they used our people as cannon fodder. If the last general hadn't captured hundreds of cavalry, they might have wiped out our entire army. These Taixi people People don't cherish life at all, they don't treat us as human beings, they say we are barbarians, not worthy of being a noble person."

"It's unreasonable. We underestimated our celestial kingdom. We want them to look good in the future." Feng Quan patted the table angrily.

Kong Youxing said: "My lord, since this is the case, let's not lose face. Let's see how they fight today. The Ming army is very powerful. It has been more than half a month, and they haven't completely jumped out of the encirclement of the Ming army and completely defeated the Ming army." Army, although with the help of our cavalry yesterday, the cavalry of the Ming army was held back, but today, I heard that not only the Ming army but also the Huaxia army are coming from the opposite side."

"Oh, the Huaxia Army? Have you ever seen the banner clearly?" Feng Quan stood up and stared at Kong Youxing.

"My lord, I'm overjoyed. Although I didn't see the banner clearly, but looking at the military uniform, the weapon and armor, the general dares to conclude that it is the leader of the Huaxia Army, Zhang Qiang's personal guard."

"Really?"

"Are you sure?" Feng Quan's hands were shaking.

"Yes, my lord, congratulations, the Huaxia Army only came with the guards, and they don't have many guards. There are tens of thousands of Thai and Western troops here, and there are nearly [-] Japanese troops here. They are not easy to mess with. In the current situation of the Ming army, tens of thousands of troops were defeated, and only tens of thousands of people were left to defend in a few camps. Depending on the situation, the reinforcements of the Ming army either did not dare to come, or they gave up reinforcements. At least, if they came to reinforce It will take a few days for the army to arrive. If we defeat these Ming troops tomorrow, we may be able to capture the leader of the Huaxia Army. By then, the Huaxia Army will fail without a leader."

Chapter 395 It's Daybreak

The resonant trumpets sounded, and they guarded each other all night. The soldiers on duty on both sides who had just fallen asleep crawled out of the tents one after another, buried pots for cooking, and prepared to start a day's battle.

Not many people knew about the plans and intrigues of last night.

For the Portuguese, by defeating the Ming army in front of them, they can take advantage of the current internal and external turmoil in the Ming Dynasty, and then push forward, push forward, and restore the territory they captured before. If they push forward a little bit, It is almost equivalent to a small half of Portugal's land, which is simply a great achievement.

This means countless wealth, a higher position, and greater rights. The glory of transforming from a Far Eastern governor to an upper-class nobleman is beckoning to him.

The meaning is different for each person and each power. For Feng Quan, it means a high official and generous salary, which means the opportunity to be promoted to the court, and for Kong Youxing, it means more money and more territory.

For the Huaxia Army, it means that if they can't persist, then the Huaxia Army may be wiped out from now on.

China's historical regimes have always been strongman politics, emperor politics, and when an emperor is in power, everything he has done will be continued and will be carried forward, but once he is gone, everything will change. The prosperity and wealth of his subordinates , his policy will be overthrown by the latecomers, and the stove will be restarted. His past will become history, and even history will not remember him.

It would be a lie to say that Zhang Qiang is not worried. He is not a cross-country student, not an engineering student, nor a graduate student, nor is he a doctor who studied in the United States. Wang, you said that you want him, a game lover who has never seen the world, and a migrant worker not to worry about such a complicated situation and a battle with such a disparity in strength. You are lying and pretending to be thirteen.

Hastily delivered the hard-to-swallow Huaxia army rations with the water in the deerskin bag, a kind of biscuit-like biscuit, made of wild vegetables, sorghum noodles, white noodles, and rice paste, cut into four squares, just ate A little sweet, a little salty to eat, and a bit bitter in the mouth for soldier rations.

I drank two more sips of water suddenly, the water smelled a bit like animal skin, but it was fine, just squeezed my nose and drank it, just like the kind I often drink in the factory with the smell of crude benzene and sulfur It tastes like salty water, just bear it and it will pass.

On the battlefield, what is more important than life?
