Beiyang new warlord

Page 609

Fortunately, when Wu Sangui was terrified, things finally turned around. Standing in the front row, Gu Junen, Li Zicheng's trusted military adviser, clasped his fists with a slightly embarrassed expression.

"Now that I, Dashun Dingding capital, hold a magic weapon, it is time to gather people's hearts, select officials, and formally establish my Dashun rule. At this time, it is really inappropriate to go to war. Liaodong is remote and brave, and the land is bitter, cold and barren. The food is tasteless, so discard it. What a pity! King Chuang wants to crusade, he can wait for the world to decide, and then use the power of the whole country to crush the eggs, there is really no rush."

"That's exactly what King Chuang should do!"

"Yes! Master Gu's words are absolutely true!"

There were still wise people in the Dashun Dynasty, and several civil officials of the Shun Army nodded in agreement one after another, but watching them speak, the chief civil servant, Prime Minister Niu Jinxing, watched the excitement without saying a word.

Even the civil servants of the Dashun Peng Army are from the traditional gentry family. Niu Jinxing has a lot of problems with the civil servants. He can understand it. Although he doesn't know how Mao Jue offended Liu Zongmin, the number one general in the army, since Liu Zongmin Bringing it up in front of all the generals with a murderous look must have been determined to kill him. If he objected, it would be digging his face, and he would not do such a thankless thing.

The clasped fists and persuasion of several civil servants and counselors did affect him, but Li Zicheng couldn't help pinching his beard and hesitated for a moment.

However, just like the historical black humor that happened in the Chongzhen period a month ago, at the juncture of Dashun's fate, some bad fates that could have been avoided have turned sharply because of some people's deliberate actions. Li Zicheng pondered Suddenly, there was a loud shout from the crowd.

"Several adults are wrong!"

The sound was as loud as a rooster crowing, and everyone turned their heads in astonishment, only to see a general with a big belly swaying like a crab, striding forward while holding his fists righteously.

"King Chuang is my lord of Dashun. He has a golden mouth and fine teeth, and he speaks his words. Since he has spoken out in public to flatten Liaodong, how can he change his orders overnight and go back on his words? My lords, are you trying to ruin King Chuang's prestige?"

The one who made the noise was actually Jiang Xing, the general of Datong. He surrendered on the Dongjin Road. He is barely an old senior. He would make do with the generals of the Shun Army, and he is not afraid of being bothered by others. This is a rare opportunity to flatter him. Not only promoted Li Zicheng, but also curry favor with General Quan Liu Zongmin is killing two birds with one stone.

Especially when we have to deal with Mao Jue in Liaodong!

On the bright side, Mao Jue and Jiang Xing, the commander in chief of Datong, have no quarrels at all, and even his trade with the Mongolian grasslands has brought them a lot of benefits, but in this world, there is always such a kind of people, just look Don't want to be kind to others, try to find ways to make troubles secretly, there are so many generals on the nine sides, only Mao Jue survived, ceded one side, became the king of Liao, and even forced the court to admit it.

If Mao Jue could be unlucky, Jiang Xiang would be so excited that he would die of excitement, his old, protruding face was flushed with excitement, he walked to the front and finished yelling, and then bowed heavily to Gu Junen who had just objected, The voice reveals the slow greed.

"Mr. Gu thinks that the bitter cold land in eastern Liaodong is the reason why his masters don't live at the border. The king of Liao, Mao Jue, has millions of men and has reclaimed hundreds of thousands of land. Every year, the fertile Liaohe River alone has to pay him millions of stones. food!"

"And that Mao Manzi is insatiably greedy. He trades with the Li Dynasty and Japan in the east, and also connects with Mongolia in the west. The fur he buys from Mongolia can sell three to four million taels a year. It is said that he also has sea ships going south to meet those reds. Mao fan ghosts do business, and every year a boatload of silver is brought back from the sea!"

An old face became more and more red, almost drooling, Jiang Xiang finally bowed to Li Zicheng.

"King Chuang, if you defeat Liaodong, it will be no less than defeating another capital!"

Li Zicheng's eyes were obviously throbbing.

In the past few days in the capital, he collected a total of more than 7000 million taels of vain silver. Just like the dwarf king in "The Hobbit", the huge amount of wealth also cost Li Zicheng's one-eyed eye, making him sick After suffering from dragon disease, the plundering of wealth is like a stimulant stabbing in his heart.

Jiang Xiang is not the only one who has good eyesight, Niu Jinxing, a complete villain, is the best among them. Suddenly his voice raised, and he shouted loudly and solemnly.

"In the past few decades in the Ming Dynasty, Liaodong was lost, soldiers were lost, tens of millions of taels of silver and salaries were consumed, cities and land were lost, and the people of the world were in trouble. Today, my sage Chuang Wang sent his army to the north and wiped out Liaodong in one fell swoop. Isn't it a testament to my smoothness? Far beyond the previous Ming?"

"Chen Niu Jinxing is willing to be the vanguard of King Chuang, conquer Shenyang for King Chuang, and support King Chuang to ascend the throne in Shenyang! Let the world surrender!"

The leader shouted out the slogan, and the dozens of Dashun generals were not stupid. Immediately, the loud roar echoed in the magnificent palace of Daming, and they raised their fists high.

"The minister is willing to be the pioneer!"

"Chuang Wang is invincible!"

"Attack Liaodong!"

A roar reverberated in my ears, listening to the roar of the whole court, Li Zicheng's old face was full that day, his cheekbones were flushed with excitement, and he snatched a gold wine glass from the trembling eunuch beside him, Li Chuangwang raised his head and drank it, and then smashed the cup to the ground.

"Okay, I will take this million-strong army and level him in Liaodong!"

Wu Sangui, who had been kneeling on the ground, turned pale instantly when he heard these words.

"King Chuang, it happens that the family members of King Liao's father and family are in the capital, should we kill them to sacrifice the flag?"

I don't know who is rushing to shoot this flattery again, but at this time, Liu Zongmin's voice is raised.

"Fart! This Mao Mansion belongs to me. After I kill the man surnamed Mao, let the woman in the Mao Manor know who is the hero in the world, and marry her. cut you!"

Flattering was slapped on the horse's leg, and the little leader who brought up the matter covered his forehead with a sneer and retreated, but soon after, Jiang Xiang's hideous laughter sounded like killing a pig.

"Doesn't the big drama sing about a hero being sad for a beauty? General Quan has a real temperament! When the time comes for the general's wedding wine, we Lao Jiang must also ask for a few glasses!"

"Our old Hao is going too. If you don't drink more than a dozen jars, you don't want to have a bridal chamber, haha!"

Under the booing of a large crowd, even Li Zicheng himself shook his head, pointed at Liu Zongmin's blushing and thick neck, and said with a smile.

"You bastard! Propose a marriage with someone else's head! That's fine, I will personally officiate your marriage!"

"Chuang Wang Shengming!!!"

Before Li Zicheng finished his words, more excited voices rang out again. The eyes of the shouting Dashun leaders were flushed with greed, and their old faces were bloodshot. It is the pillar of the country that is about to take over the entire empire.

This war, which has been related to the fate of the regime and the entire East Asia for hundreds of years, has unfolded in such a joking manner.The cause was initiated by Liu Zongmin's personal grievances, which was soon mixed with the flattery of the surrendered general and the greed of the leaders of Dashun. In the end, it was decided by Li Zicheng, a good brother in the rivers and lakes, but not a qualified political leader. People's huge Dashun army set a goal.

In order to become famous as a teacher and conform to the morality of Confucianism, Niu Jinxing scratched his head and thought for two days, and then moved out the excuse that Zhu Yuanzhang used to crusade against Zhang Shicheng, accusing Mao Jue of being disloyal when the capital of the Ming Dynasty fell. The Shun army will conquer the rebels on behalf of the heavens, and march against them!

I made a vow, but if it is more popular, why is it that a gang of robbers came and smashed someone's uncle's house, and then called his neighbor's nephew and nephew for being unfilial, but they didn't come to rescue him, and he was going to give it to this nephew The nephew beat me up.

Chen Jiao just wanted to use aggressive methods to save Mao Mansion, Mao Wenlong, and her son, but she never thought that a single word would cause such a huge political turmoil. For two or three days in a row, the capital city was like the Like a metropolis approaching the Spring Festival, the flow of people rushed out of the city like that, making the bustling streets gradually empty and dead silent.

The dark army covered the horizon once again!

Chapter 579. The Trapped Beast Wu Sangui

There is a joke in later generations, I have been to East Africa and seen the wildebeest migration. The crooked nuts clamored that this is the largest animal migration in the world. Immediately, Chinese people jumped out and slapped their faces. You have never seen the Spring Festival travel!

Li Zicheng's army at this time felt like a Spring Festival travel rush. The densely packed troops lined up and left the city from the streets. The flags were flying, and the people and horses were shoulder to shoulder. The crowd was so dense that there was no head in front and no tail in the back. After the army left, the whole street was empty. Empty and deserted, like turning into a dead city.

Compared with when he entered the capital, Li Zicheng's army was much larger. After all, the morale of the defenders of the capital city had collapsed, and the nearly complete ones were taken over by the Shun army. After leaving the city at Deshengmen in the north, facing the north, more than 70 Shun troops formed a suffocating huge army formation.

However, compared with the impoverished army of refugees when they entered the capital, it has only been a mere month, and at this time the Dashun Army has undergone some irreversible changes.

King Chuang has made a fortune, so it's not too much for these little guys to make a small fortune, right?Many Shun soldiers suddenly became like women with children, with a thick and heavy burden on their backs, which contained a variety of money, cloth, some half-new clothes, oil, salt and soy rice, and even Shun Jun looked at the valuable porcelain tea sets in the store in Jingli, and two huge porcelain vases were exposed in the package.

In the field backpack of the Dongjiang army, quilts, spare bayonets, gunpowder, projectiles, and a piece of cleaning rod weighed about [-] catties. The strength of these Shunjun troops even surpassed that of the Dongjiang professional troops. Things, this end is digging the camp to protect the trench, and after only two hoes, it is already exhausted and out of breath. Some have to put their burdens on the ground, but they are not at ease, digging twice and turning around to look around.

The Shun Army's lack of permanence has been exposed, and it does not regard the capital as a long-term strategic point or even the capital city. From Li Zicheng at the top to the soldiers at the bottom, they all report a feeling of grabbing one vote and leaving the city. This time, they will leave the city again. When fighting a war, it is natural to bring pots, pans and pans, and it is a pity to throw everything away.

This has become a heavy burden on the army.

However, the small soldiers are relatively light with their belongings, and there is a mighty group of wives following the Dashun army out of the city.

Now that King Chuang has established Longting, it's time for the big guy to buy his own family, either by robbing it, or buying it with the money he robbed, and whoever has the conditions, he must find a woman in the capital to be his wife.

Carrying small flowered cloth bags, a large group of girls and daughters-in-law who usually don't leave the house, also walked out of the city with small steps.

Ordinary sergeants can only get one, and some of them can't get married, but those generals of the Shun Army are brilliant, at least three or four at the level of Qianhu, and seven or eight at the leader level. As for Niu Jinxing, Hao Like waving the flag, one person does not have dozens of wives, concubines and servants who are too embarrassed to come out to meet people. Riding precious war horses, groups of wives are brought to the camp in full bloom.

However, among them, Li Zicheng himself is the one with the most wives and concubines. Even in Chongzhen's thrifty, vain and conservative palace, there are at least a few thousand court ladies from female households. For many days, Li Zicheng didn't go to the place of his original wife, Empress Gao Guiying, almost every night. He was reluctant to start a war when he went out of the city. He moved out the guard of honor from the palace and formed a huge palace specially composed of five hundred palace ladies and eunuchs. In front of the guard of honor is the eunuch Qingdao with whisks, and behind is the palace maid wearing a light gauze carrying a huge yellow sedan chair with a round fan.When leaving the city, even Li Zicheng's Xiaoqi Battalion had to walk slowly behind this guard of honor. The momentum of the Xiaoqi Battalion that came and went like lightning in the decisive battle with the Qin army was no longer the same as before.
