Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Zhang Luofu was thinking wildly and didn't know when he finally became confused.

He didn't know how long he had slept, but a cockcrow woke him up.

Looking at the hazy night through the window, Zhang Luofu felt a splitting headache.

"Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang, get up quickly. The staple food this morning is meat buns, stuffed with pork!"

Ma Dai's whirring sound came from the window, and he didn't forget to knock on his window coffin.

"Snapped!"

Zhang Luofu slapped him on the forehead, wishing he could just say one word in reply - "Get out!"

……

Zhang Luofu yawned, with two dark circles under his eyes, and walked out of the guest room top-heavy.

At the door, Ma Dai was holding three large meat buns in one hand and a bowl of spicy soup in his right hand. He was taking a bite of the buns and a sip of soup, slurping and eating!

“Brother Ma, Brother Ma, look, these meat-and-wine monks actually raise pigs in Bixia Palace.

Oh my god, these pork buns are so delicious! "

Ma Dai bit off half of the bun in one bite, his cheeks bulging as he chewed it, and the earthworms on his face were deformed.

Ma Dai devoured the buns, but did not forget to lift up the buns and let Zhang Luofu smell them.

Just as he was about to show off, he suddenly saw Zhang Luofu's two big dark circles under his eyes.

Ma Dai swallowed the meat buns in his mouth hard and said in surprise:

"Brother Zhang, are you suffering from insomnia?"

Zhang Luofu looked at this big injustice and wanted to cry but had no tears.

This bastard!

Without you, can I lose sleep?

……

Sanfu, north of the Yellow River in Henan, is a long and narrow terrain.

These three prefectures are located just east of the Taihang Mountains, and their territory is mostly mountainous.

Next door, Beizhili is no better than Sanfu in Henan. It is also a narrow area.

Damingfu, the southernmost city of Beizhili, is sandwiched between Henan and Shandong.

Daming Mansion is also a narrow place with a width of less than a hundred miles and a length of more than three hundred miles.

After passing Daming Mansion and heading east, you will find Dongchang Mansion and Yanzhou Mansion in Shandong.

Further east, there is the canal.

This place is a long and narrow water network area, which is Dayezawa and Liangshanbo in ancient times...

It has always been a place easily occupied by bandits.

Sun Zhenglan gave Zhang Luofu a suggestion:

If Daming Mansion is captured, not only can the Qing army's path to the south be blocked, but it can also be connected with Zuo Guangxian, Zhao Yingyuan, and Huang Degong's troops in Shandong.

If we really hold on to this area, it will be equivalent to working with Dashun to seal the Qing army within the territory of Beizhili!

Zhang Luofu knew the emperor's strategic purpose-to use Dashun to weaken the Tatars.

Try to make the Tatars focus on Li Zicheng.

Under this strategy, Zhang Luofu could not easily start a war.

Therefore, Zhang Luofu adopted a roundabout policy - not to regain Daming Prefecture but to support local resistance forces.

If I don’t plant the Ming Dynasty war flag and just evacuate the people, isn’t that enough?

A living person can still be choked to death by urine...

……

After breakfast, it's still dark.

Zhang Luofu and Ma Dai, and the three thousand soldiers and horses were divided into two groups.

Zhang Luofu led his men eastward along the Qishui River and attacked Junxian and Huaxian.

Ma Dai, on the other hand, has to bypass the two places, pass through the countryside, and go straight to Kaizhou (Puyang)!

As long as these three cities are taken, the two counties of Dongming and Changyuan at the southernmost end of Daming Mansion will be eaten by them.

In this way, Guangji Canal was in the hands of Ming Dynasty.

Using this waterway, we can support various ministries in Shandong as quickly as possible.

You must know that when Kaifeng and other places were eroded by floods and the roads were difficult to travel, this was the shortest land route to support Shandong.

Ma Dai has made preparations, and three thousand soldiers have also prepared three days' worth of dry food.

With a wave of his hand, one thousand cavalry and five hundred infantry "parted ways" and stood in front of General Ma Dai's flag.

Ma Dai hugged Zhang Luofu and said:

"General Zhang, see you at Daming Mansion!

Until then, Brother Zhang and I will sleep together! "

Zhang Luofu was shocked all over and was about to give him a slap in the face!

From now on, don’t talk about sleeping next door.

I don’t even have a yard to live with you anymore!

Who knows, Ma Dai whipped the horse on the butt and shouted:

"Ma Peng, let's go!"

Ma Peng, captain of the personal army, waved General Ma Dai's flag and pointed diagonally ahead.

The horse's hooves rolled, setting off bursts of smoke, and rushed straight to the foot of the mountain.

"Brother Ma, take care!"

Zhang Luofu bowed and saluted.

This is a tough guy!

Although it gave him a little headache...

……

Outside Junxian County, Zhang Luofu put away his telescope.

This is the new telescope given by His Majesty!

It's Sun Yunqiu's instrument factory, newly manufactured and of the highest quality.

According to His Majesty, what is this called an eight-fold mirror?

Not only can he see far away, but even the upside-down image has become a normal field of vision.

It is said that a thing called a prism was added here.

With this small change, the discomfort in his vision disappeared.

The corners of Zhang Luofu's mouth curled up.

He came here directly and didn't know much about the current situation in Handu.

However, I heard news from the army that the firearms factory in Handu was verifying the feasibility of strapping telescopes to guns.

It is said that as long as they pretend this, everyone will be a sharpshooter...

Ma Dai rubbed his hands.

OK!

Once His Majesty assembles this thing into the army, he can train elites, ambush the side of the road, and kill the Tatar generals!

……

The image of the panicked soldiers on the city wall still stayed in Zhang Luofu's mind.

Zhang Luofu had already waved his hand and ordered:

"After a stick of incense, charge!"

He could see clearly that there were only a few patrol soldiers in messy clothes on the top of the city, and not a single regular army was seen.

Looking at the sharpshooter who was already in position and approaching within a hundred steps of the city wall.

Because his tribe is very close to Henan, there are only a hundred cavalry.

However, the fifty Fuhan guns (front-loaded rifled miniguns) allocated by His Majesty are all with him.

In order to strengthen Ma Dai's strength, he evened out more than half of the actinic guns (flintlock guns) previously equipped by his general and gave them to Ma Dai.

At this time, the cavalry in Ma Dai's army already had four guns per man!

Two actinic guns and two Meng guns. (The flintlock gun is named after Zhang Jimeng, a disciple of Bingbi Maokang who Zhu Youjian obtained.)

……

With Fuhan Gun in hand, Zhang Luofu can sit back and relax!

He knew that Junxian County was already in his pocket.

Zhang Luofu encountered no enemy on his side, but Ma Dai encountered a group of Eight Banners elite soldiers.

……

Qing troops and bandits ravaged the capital several times.

The people suffered heavy casualties, dead bones were everywhere, and the land was barren as far as the eye could see...

At this time, outside Kaiyang City, even though there was a large plain, there were also forests.

Among them, the majority are elm trees.

This place, historically, was within the scope of activities of the Yuyuan Army.

Ma Dai led his soldiers through an elm forest.

When his eyes suddenly opened up, he discovered that a large army was facing him on the plain two miles away.
