397 The Storm

The killing of the famous general Duoduo of the Qing Dynasty was a huge encouragement for the Dashun Army and also improved a lot of morale that had been sluggish. However, this major victory can be said to be a return to the Dashun Army. The angered Dorgon personally led the army to retaliate. This was called killing the wolf but attracting tigers. The Dashun Army, which had no firearm supplies, retreated step by step.

With the help of firearms, you can barely take advantage, but once there is no powerful output of firearms, these mobs will be knocked back to their original form.

At the beginning, the Dashun Army was mostly composed of poor people who had no way out. These hardships were not trained enough and disciplined. They were not afraid of death and dared to fight to the death. However, as they continued to advance, they were seized and recovered stolen goods, and they all made a lot of money. In addition to the money and rewards, each soldier had a lot of money, which was less than 100 taels and more than 1,000 taels. In addition to the money, there were also a lot of valuable wealth. In this way, these short-sighted soldiers wanted to go home to buy land, marry and be a little landlord, so why did they want to fight to the death?

As a result, veterans kept leaving the team secretly, and some even fled in the whole team. For Li Zicheng who was in trouble, it was a little worse. The Manchu Iron Cavalry was unstoppable, and behind them there were also the squire who had originally surrendered and stabbed the sword in the back. In addition, the manchus and temptations of the Manchus and the generals who had originally surrendered rebelled one after another. Under the attack of several factors, they could not resist it. The soldiers were defeated like mountains and walls, and everyone pushed them. In the end, they died at the hands of ordinary town heroes.

This is a typical example of how easy it is to fight the country and it is difficult to defend the country.

When he received the news of Li Zicheng's death, Lu Haoshan and Li Nian were on the construction site of the expressway.

On the construction site, prisoners and slaves with bare arms were working hard. Some were flattened on the road, some were digging foundations, some were raising stones, and some were paving cement. They were so busy that they were covered in sweat. There were deafening explosions from time to time. They were craftsmen doing blasting operations and encountered some mountains or big rocks that needed to be dug. Use blasting operations directly, which not only saved medicine and a large amount of labor, but also accelerated the progress of the project.

"I didn't expect Li Zicheng to die at the hands of the village Yong. It's a pity." Lu Haoshan said with some sigh.

Li Nian nodded and said, "Yes, what a good game of chess, I messed up. Then Li Zicheng offended all the gentry in the world. How can others not hate him? This is called a strong dragon that cannot defeat the local snake."

In the late Ming Dynasty, officials were revived frequently. Many officials would organize village warriors to train themselves after returning home. Because they were willing to pay money and work hard. Many village warriors were very strong in combat. Li Zi became a raising food and money, putting their hopes on recovering stolen goods and putting the money and paste of people greedy by corrupt officials. This was originally a very pleasant thing, but as they walked, the road went wrong. First, they pursued corrupt officials. After these notorious corrupt officials chased the stolen goods, they expanded to all gentry and landlords. In the process of recovering stolen goods, many people were lawless because of the lack of effective regulations and restraints. They abused lynching, and the affairs of their wives and daughters were poor, and they forced all gentry to their opposites. As soon as these gentry had the chance, they stabbed Li Zicheng behind their backs.

Li Zicheng was unreproachable, and he also accepted the beautiful beauty Chen Yuanyuan, who was stunning in the process of recovering the stolen goods. This is called "If you don't commit suicide, you won't die."

Lu Haoshan looked at the east side and said with some expectations: "Now it seems that the world belongs to me and the Qing Dynasty."

"Dongweng, don't forget. There is another Nanming, where officials are good at law, Qian Qianyi, Gao Jie, Huang Degong and others. They hold the Fu King Zhu Yousong as the emperor. They are powerful and should not be underestimated. It should be said that the three parts of the world are the only ones." Seeing Lu Haoshan a little arrogant, Li Nian reminded him.

Nanming?

Lu Haoshan showed a hint of sneer that was not easy to detect. He said that he was a scholar who was useless in peacetime. He advocated etiquette, righteousness, integrity, shame, loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. However, in an era when heroes were everywhere, it was about fists rather than tongues. Let these scholars who talked about war on paper control the government. That was the rhythm of committing suicide. These people infiltrated the relationship between the cliques and the enemy was not united at the moment, but instead calculated each other. What could they do?

"How is Zhao Gongchang doing?" Lu Haoshan did not answer Li Nian's question, but asked leisurely.

"General Zhao is reorganizing the surrendered troops, and it is estimated that they can be sorted out this month. Dongweng is really smart. He has transferred the foreign soldiers to reduce the pressure on General Zhao, and secondly, he can also let these people be cannon fodder. Our army will have tens of thousands of fierce and combat-friendly cannon fodder soldiers at once."

Advanced and sharp weapons, detailed and detailed plans, brave and combative soldiers, Lu Haoshan's plan for the Western Expedition was progressing smoothly. Zhao Gongchang and Pubu joined forces, first unexpectedly wiped out two major forces, and then used two methods to the remaining people, treat the surrender well, and attack them resolutely if they do not surrender. Those foreign soldiers with simple weapons were not Zhao Gongchang's opponents. After teaching a few thorns a lesson, the remaining surrendered and conquered the foreign land in less than half a year.

After conquering, those unruly foreign soldiers drove directly to Lu Haoshan to conquer the world. Although the Sichuan Army is very strong now, its troops are somewhat single, and it is most appropriate to use them to supplement it. Dorgon used the Mongolian Eight Banners and the Han Eight Banners to conquer the world for him. Lu Haoshan was not ruthless, and directly conquered foreign soldiers to pull them out and act as his own thugs.

No need to be used for nothing.

"The temperature is almost done, so you can't let the Qing Tartars jump for too long." Lu Haoshan suddenly said to himself.

With Li Zicheng's death, the once vigorous peasant uprising was coming to an end. Old Hui returned horses and waited for no mud, Zhang Cunmeng, Zijinliang Wang, Lao Chuangwang Gao Yingxiang and others withdrew from the stage of history one after another. Most of the remaining were small fish and shrimps that were not in a climate, and they could not catch any waves. The times created themselves, and it was time for them to stand up.

Just as Lu Haoshan was talking, a scout came over quickly and submitted a letter with two fire lacquer marks to Lu Haoshan. After Lu Haoshan checked that the fire lacquer marks were correct, he opened the information and was immediately happy: "Okay, I haven't taken action yet, you should do it first."

"Dongweng, who did it?" Li Nian asked curiously.

Lu Haoshan Yang said the information in his hand: "Dorgon sent the chief magistrate Obai to Dingjunshan, and Hong Chengchou led his army to reinforce Hanyin. Passes such as Tongguan and Dasanguan also strengthened their defenses. Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone."

"Yes, this is to be wary of us." Li Nian touched his beard and said, "There are two main roads to get out of Sichuan. One is to start from Chengdu south along Jinniu Road, pass Guanghan, Deyang, Luojiang, Mianyang, Zitong, cross Dajianshan, and pass through Guangyuan. After passing through Ningqiang, Da'an and Mian County in Shaanxi, we arrive at Hanzhong. Baocheng starts Baoxie Road, and then along the Baohe River, cross the Qinling Mountains, and exit the Xieyu, leading directly to the 800-mile Qinchuan. The other roads can also go out of Sichuan. Although other roads can also go out of Sichuan, they are not conducive to the travel of a large group of people. They are especially logistics supply. I want to take a small road like Prime Minister Zhuge, and it is also relying on the magical powers of wooden ox and flowing horses. We do not have these magical powers. Dorgon sent Obai and Dorgon to block the important roads to get out of Sichuan. In the words of Dongweng, our honeymoon period has passed."

"Haha, they made us cheat so much and took down the foreign land. If they were not careful, they would have returned to the pass to sheep. By the way, what's going on in Nanming?" Lu Haoshan said with an indifferent look on his face.

He had already prepared to go to war with the Qing Dynasty, but it was just a matter of time. Lu Haoshan really didn't care. Although the Qing Dynasty had incorporated many troops, he had 100,000 soldiers under his command, and the recruited foreign soldiers were a little anxious to fight.

But Oboi, this made Lu Haoshan very interested. Thanks to later film and television, Oboi was even heavier in Lu Haoshan's heart than Hong Chengchou. When he saw the information, he immediately felt like he met a legendary figure, and see if this guy was as brave as the legend.

"There was no movement in Nanming. The King of Fu Zhu Yousong was just a puppet who was at the mercy of the ministers. Alas, it was now, and the dispute between the cliques had not yet subsided. They were all fighting for fame and fortune. Sooner or later, it would be a farce."

Li Nian's sigh revealed a kind of disappointment and helplessness, and a kind of anger that he was angry at the heaven, earth, the king, the teacher, and the Ming Dynasty ruled for more than 200 years. In the era of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, many people regarded themselves as the people of the Ming Dynasty. Seeing the country was destroyed with their own eyes, they felt a sense of loss in their hearts.

Lu Haoshan patted Li Nian on the shoulder and said, "Okay, if they like to make trouble, they will do whatever they want. No matter what they want, it's time to take action now."

"Students understand, let them act immediately." Li Nian immediately said respectfully when he heard this.

Sichuan and the Qing Dynasty signed a non-aggression contract, and acted rashly. First of all, destroying the contract must be criticized. However, it was too easy for Lu Haoshan to provoke conflicts. Not long after, a flying pigeon soared into the sky and flew straight towards Guangyuan.

.........

After Li Zicheng was killed in Jiugong Mountain, the entire north of the Yellow River was placed in the hands of the Qing Dynasty. The territory that the Qing Dynasty needed time to digest was captured. The Hongguang regime of the Southern Ming Dynasty, led by King Fu Zhu Yousong, was also in a dispute between the cliques and was unable to fight the north. The two could be said to be in peace, and even the soldiers guarding the city breathed a sigh of relief. There was only one area, that is, the place where they bordered Sichuan. Because Sichuan was abnormal, the officers and soldiers guarding the city seemed particularly cautious.

There is no way, this is the order of the Regent Dorgon to prevent the Sichuan Army from taking abnormal actions. For this reason, elite soldiers and strong generals came to reinforce, and specially strengthened the city walls, strictly ordered the soldiers responsible for garrison not to deliberately provoke conflicts, and those who violated the situation were killed.

Dorgon intended to tightly block the passage in the north of Sichuan, forcing the Sichuan army to go down from Nanshun River, and fight both sides with the Nanming forces first, and then come out to get a bargain. That would be the best. However, for this, he sent a fierce general Oboi and Hong Chengchou, who was familiar with the terrain, to prevent the Sichuan army from suddenly entering the hinterland.
