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

Zhu Youjian recalled all the arrangements in his mind and asked:

"Where is Li Zicheng going to let me defend?"

Song Xiance asked with a smile:

"I wonder if Your Majesty can defend the first line of Yulin?

The boundary between you and me is Tangmao Mountain in Jingbian. From then on, the west is to be defended by our army, and the east is to be defended by Your Majesty.

What does Your Majesty think of this arrangement? "

Zhu Youjian nodded:

"Okay, this division can actually bring me and Jiang Xiang together. Li Zicheng is interested."

Song Xiance smiled and said:

“My Emperor deeply believes in His Majesty’s words, ‘We are all Chinese.

He highly admired His Majesty's words, 'It doesn't matter if we fight ourselves to death, but when outsiders come, we will do their damned thing'!

Your Majesty wants to help Dashun, how dare I not do my best. "

Zhu Youjian smiled.

……

Datong.

In Datong today, the flag of the Ming Dynasty has been flying for half a year.

Although Jiang Xiang had jumped repeatedly in history, he finally saw the Manchu Dynasty clearly.

He was able to hold high the war flag of the Ming Dynasty when only a corner of the Ming Dynasty was left in the southwest, and raised troops to fight against the Qing Dynasty. He even did not change the flag again until his death.

Zhu Youjian was also willing to give him a chance.

Jiang Xiang seized this opportunity.

……

Datong was originally a great city built under the personal supervision of Xu Da, the founding general of the Ming Dynasty.

The city wall alone is four feet (14 meters) high!

After Jiang Xiang was defeated, the Qing army transferred troops and horses to the south of the Yangtze River, leaving only two banners of troops and horses in the entire Gyeonggi region (a total of 24 banners at this time).

Hundreds of thousands of Manchu, Han and Mongolian troops besieged Datong.

All the princes and nobles of the Manchu Qing Dynasty who could lead troops to fight in the war came, but they were defeated one after another under the walls of Datong.

Even Dorgon, who had never left Beijing, was forced to go out in person, but he still could not do anything to Datong.

The Qing army had no choice but to resort to siege.

A year later, food was cut off in Datong, and Jiang Xiang's family was killed by the traitor Yang Zhenwei.

Except for Yang Zhenwei's 23 cronies, Dorgon ordered all living people in Datong to be slaughtered!

In order to vent his anger, Dorgon, the father of the Qing Dynasty and the regent, even ordered the walls of Datong to be stripped down to a height of five feet.

Not only was Datong massacred, the entire Shanxi was almost massacred...

Only the anti-Qing forces in the steep mountainous areas, who resisted for more than ten years and protected some people, were able to survive!

Thirty years after the Datong Massacre in history, there are many such records in the records of counties in Shanxi:

The land is barren and farming has not yet been restored, and the countryside is deserted everywhere...

……

This important city that had only five death row prisoners massacred in history showed no sign of war at this time.

The three brothers Jiang Xiang were all dressed in robes, standing on the city wall in the north wind.

Jiang Xiang looked at the north and said slowly:

"Eldest brother, third brother, Your Majesty is here!"

Jiang Rang, the former commander-in-chief of Yulin, frowned.

He is worried!

After all, the Jiang family was the one who surrendered to Li Zicheng. Will the emperor take advantage of this opportunity when he comes...

Jiang Xuan, the youngest member of the Jiang family, who is the deputy commander-in-chief of Yanghe, also said:

"Eldest brother, second brother, do you think our family can do it?"

Jiang Rang frowned and looked at Jiang Xiang:

"Second brother, tell me what you think!"

Jiang Xiang didn't answer and stared blankly to the northwest.

After a while, only a cloud of smoke was seen rising, and a thunderous sound was faintly heard from the distance.

"It's cavalry!"

The boss and the third child were stunned for a moment and blurted out.

They are all high-ranking generals. You can't tell the difference between the sound of cavalry and the sound of thunder!

The two of them were about to ask their personal guards to send orders for defense, but they heard the second-in-command Jiang Xiang chuckle:

"Ma Yaozi is back!"

"Wang Fuchen?"

The two brothers were stunned again.

Didn't the second brother just ask Wang Fuchen to defend Datong's right back a few days ago?

Why is he back now?

The two of them were about to ask Jiang Xiang when they heard Jiang Xiang chuckle:

"I gave Ma Yaozi an order early yesterday morning, asking him to go to Guihua City and capture some Tatars!"

"what!"

Ginger stunned the two.

God!

Isn’t the second child too reckless?

Guihua City is only more than 400 miles away from here, but the Tatars stationed 20 troops there!

When the second child asked Ma Yaozi to provoke them, weren't they afraid that those savages would retaliate?

Jiang Xiang said lightly:

"You also know the news from the spies. Do you think that even Li Zicheng has to agree with His Majesty to join forces to attack the Tatars? We may have a second way?"

Jiang Xiang turned around.

Jiang Xiang has always been the backbone of the three brothers. Now, seeing that he had made a decision, the two had no choice but to stop trying to persuade each other.

Jiang Rang said:

"I'm afraid the emperor will settle the score later!

After all, we betrayed the emperor before! "

Jiang Xiang laughed:

“There is no pay in the army, and the men have no food to eat, so how can they have the strength to fight.

Your Majesty will understand us.

Besides, Your Majesty can even forgive Li Zicheng, a big rebel, let alone you and me! "

"Moreover……"

Jiang Xiang pointed to Wang Fuchen who had arrived near the city gate:

"As long as there are enough people, what else can your Majesty say?

Besides, if His Majesty really wanted to take action against us, he wouldn't have paid us! "

Jiang Rang and Jiang Xuan thought the same thing.

The emperor allocated 30 silver dollars to them.

They exchanged these silver coins with the Eight Families for a total of 200 million silver dollars.

With all the real money and silver out, Your Majesty can't deal with them anymore!

If your Majesty really wants to deal with himself, then it will only take three or two months to cut off food and salary, and then just send a eunuch with gold and silver to take over all the military power.

How can you create trouble for yourself?

While the three of them were talking, Wang Fuchen had already walked to the city gate.

Behind him were three thousand cavalrymen, all with bloody heads hanging on their saddles, and some even had more than one hanging on them.

"General, I am lucky to have lived up to my command!"

Wang Fuchen turned over and dismounted. He loved to wear white robes, but his whole body was covered in blood.

Obviously, he had just experienced a fight.

"Secretary, come up quickly!"

Jiang Xiang said something to him, and then whispered to Zheng Mingbiao:

"Go and inspect the heads, sort out the real Tatars and fake Tatars, and register them in separate registers."

Zheng Mingbiao went in a hurry.

As generals from the Nine Sides, they have their own way of distinguishing the heads of Tatars.

The Ming Dynasty's verification of the Tatar heads was extremely accurate. They wanted to kill good people and take credit...

If we were fighting against the refugees, we wouldn't be able to tell them apart.

To the Tatars, to the steppe Mongolia...

Or wash up and sleep!

Even a lime-pickled head can be clearly identified by you.

Even men, women, old and young can distinguish them clearly.

Wang Fuchen walked up the city wall and stood in front of Jiang Xiang:

"I will finally meet the three generals!"

Jiang Xiang laughed and stretched out his hand to help him up:

"Second minister, tell me what you have gained this time!"

Wang Fuchen chuckled:

"General, I took my headquarters to Shanyu City in Yunchuan."
