Chapter 493 Kill, kill, kill!

Lu Si was unwilling to fight with He Zhen because although He Zhen surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and had the stain of rebellion, this man claimed to be Li Zicheng's old name in less than half a year. He raised his troops to fight against the Qing Dynasty. After his defeat, he joined forces with Li Guo, Gao Yigong and others and insisted on fighting against the Qing Dynasty until his death.

Therefore, he is still a hero.

As the saying goes, a man is not a sage, so who can be without mistakes; knowing mistakes can be corrected, and there is no greater good.

As long as He Zhen surrenders again, Lu Si will never pursue his rebellious matters. As he said, after the Qing Dynasty is destroyed in the future, Lu Wenzong will never be stingy.

In terms of military strength, Shang Kexi only had five or six thousand people, and Lu Si could give the title of King of Liao, not to mention He Zhen, who had 30,000 troops.

He Zhen's re-supply not only allowed Lu Si to have 30,000 troops, but also attracted 100,000 Shun troops in Kuizhou to return north, becoming a straw that crushed Dorgon, a staff officer in Showa.

Moreover, when King Zhang Xianzhong of the Great Western King heard that Li Zicheng was defeated and died, he was indignant and led his troops north to fight against the Qing Dynasty. At this critical moment, Lu Si needed He Zhen to return, otherwise He Zhen would be attacked by Zhang Xianzhong, which would also be a great loss to the anti-Qing forces. Moreover, with the strength of the Great Western Army, entering Shaanxi, although the situation was beneficial to the anti-Qing, it would be unfavorable to Lu Si.

The Emperor of Daxi Zhang Xianzhong would not surrender to Lu Si, the Dashun governor. The Daxi Army was 120th battalion, with no less than 200,000 troops, which was far more than the troops Lu Si now has in Shaanxi.

Zhang Xianzhong's four adopted sons are even more like dragons and tigers. Sun Kewang has a general, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, and Ainengqi are as fierce as generals. Therefore, if he cannot cooperate with the Western Army to fight against the Qing Dynasty, after Zhang Xianzhong entered Shaanxi, he would inevitably have the idea of ​​trying to seize the entire Shaanxi. At that time, the two Western countries will inevitably have conflicts. Zhang Xianzhong will attack Xi'an with all his strength. How can Lu Si be at ease to fight eastward?

The fall of the Southern Ming Dynasty was not because of how powerful the Qing army was, but because of internal strife.

The lessons of the past are that the later army, Lu Si must not fight with Zhang Xianzhong when the decisive battle with Manchuria.

The most urgent task is that He Zhen came to the camp, so that the Western Army could lead the Western Army into Shaanxi, so that the strength of Lu Si's troops and horses was equal to that of the Western Army, so that he could have the basis for cooperation with Zhang Xianzhong.

Otherwise, things will be very difficult.

Zhang Xianzhong decided to be called "Daxi", and the word "Xi" fully demonstrated the emperor's obsession with his hometown Shaanxi.

You can't shake Zhang Xianzhong in terms of the strength of the troops. The eight kings were so angry that God knew what could happen.

"Meng Qiaofang said you were in the Qingying camp and the heart was in the Han Dynasty. I asked him why he saw it. He said that He Zhen refused to shave his hair and the Qing court was very suspicious of you. You might as well read this question book."

Lu Si threw the manuscript of the inscription that Meng Qiaofang gave to the Qing court two months ago to He Zhen. He was born in the border army of the Ming Dynasty and recognized the words and took the inscription to read.

The title book says: "Only, the four generals of Hanzhong He Zhen, Luo Dai, Party Meng'an and Guo Dengxian were newly recruited. They found that these people were not old officials of the Ming Dynasty, but were all thieves. In the past, they were defeated and occupied Hanzhong. I have repeatedly issued letters to express my power and virtue, and they were the interests of Chen. I feared the power and surrendered the fake seal. I wanted to He Zhen, and Guo Dengxian also transferred Fengxiang to distribute them. Luo Dai transferred Jiang Guan to the place where the two were restrained. The party Meng'an was stopped to command 10,000 troops and still lived in Hanzhong, thinking that they would attack Zhang Ni and defend the city of Hanzhong. However, the four generals were all in the people who were in the rebels and broke into the trustworthy people, and they were afraid that the wolf's ambitions would be unstable, and they were all in Shaanxi. I beg my emperor He Zhen to raise the reputation and promote the placement of Xuanda or Beizhi area, which was actually a plan to disband. Since the party was dispersed, even if there were unpredictable, they would not be able to do anything."

Meng Qiaofang's book also suggested that the Qing court send former Ming general Kang Zhenbang and others to Hanzhong to lead troops, and wait for an opportunity to adapt He Zhen's troops in the name of the same town of Hanzhong and entering Sichuan to take over the place.

Below is the copybook, Zhu Mala, the assistant minister of the Qing Dynasty's War, saying that He Zhen and others were ambitions and were yang Shun Yin Rebellion. They wanted to use the Han army as the general of He Zhen as Hanzhong. If He Zhen and others refused to obey, they would choose a Zhenman to enter Xi'an after the Prince Ying army returned to the army, set up a city in Xi'an, and make progress in cameras to achieve everything.

"You He Zhen can't walk the Manchu road, and you He Zhen can't really be a traitor or a lackey for the Tartars."

Lu Si took a breath, waved his hand and said, "You He Zhen really want to be a lackey of the Tartars. You will not stick to my Chinese clothes and shaved your hair and braids."

He Zhen had never smoked the cigarette rolled up with paper handed by Lu Si, and learned to light it and felt that it was not as good as his own cigarette pipe.

"The Manchus suspect that I am true because I refuse to shave my hair."

After taking a sip of the cigarette, He Zhen touched his head and smiled: "I really made a Tartar head, so bare that it looked like a big slut?"

After saying that, he closed the question book handed over to his legs, pondered for a moment, and said bluntly: "You came from Xi'an from all the way to me, He Zhen, and you are a big shot again, but my subordinates want me to be the King of Chuang."

The implication is that you, Lu Wenzong, the new king of treasury, was a powerful man in Shaanxi, and he was not as strong as He Zhen. Why should he ask He Zhen to surrender?

"You He Zhen is a former general of the Ming Dynasty. You are the King of Chuang. Who recognizes you? Who follows you?"

Lu Siyi blew up the ashes and looked at the army horses arranged in formation two or three miles behind He Zhen, smiled and said, "Let's open the skylight and speak loudly. Lu's foundation is in Shandong, Huaiyang, and there are indeed not many soldiers in Shaanxi, but Lu has the support of the empress dowager, and is the son-in-law of the late emperor. He has the righteousness of Dashun, and can order the army of Dashun. He Zhen is called the King of Chuang, who can he order?"

He Zhen did not say anything. In fact, he knew that even if he was called the King of Chuang, he could only order his troops to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. Guo Dengxian, Dang Meng'an and others might not be willing to respect him, the King of Chuang. Therefore, the real King of Chuang was just to be happy and could not be taken seriously.

"The current situation is actually the most uncomfortable for you, He Zhen. If you don't belong to me, Zhang Xianzhong will definitely attack you. The Eight Kings are eager to take you in Hanzhong. No matter how strong you, He Zhen, may not be able to defeat the 200,000 Western Army."

Lu Si only learned from Ma Ke who was willing to surrender three days ago that Zhang Xianzhong swore to the north to fight against the Qing Dynasty in Chengdu, and his adopted descendants were expected to have led 70,000 troops into Baoning.

Zhang Xianzhong went north to fight against the Qing Dynasty and Lu Si, and there were two advantages and one disadvantage.

The first advantage is that it can strengthen the anti-Qing forces. Only Zhang Xianzhong's Daxi Army can resist the Qing army alone. The reason why the Daxi Army did not do anything in the early days of the anti-Qing period was entirely because Zhang Xianzhong's death was too unexpected, which caused the Daxi Army to lose its strong leadership core.

After that, Sun Kewang and others took the Daxi Army to Yunnan, reorganized and established the leadership core of the New Daxi Army headed by Sun Kewang, and played the role of the mainstay of the anti-Qing Dynasty. In Hunan and Guangxi, the two major battles in Shunzhi were scared to cede South China, and the Manchus in Beijing also discussed the matter of returning to their hometown again.

Judging from the performance of the anti-Qing struggle, Daxi was undoubtedly a hundred times better than Dashun Zhongzhen Camp, which was destroyed by Nanming.

It can even be said that the second half of the Southern Ming Anti-Qing history was centered around the Daxi Army Group led by Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo.

If the Yongli court had not been committed to death and alienated Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo, which led to internal strife between Sun and Li, which greatly damaged the strength of the Daxi Army. Later, he kept abandoning the country and killing Li Dingguo, the soldiers who fought against the Qing Dynasty for him and Zhu Ming, had definitely rewritten history.

The second advantage is that the Daxi Army entered Shaanxi, and the He Zhen army, who had already turned against the Qing army but had not surrendered again, was definitely the first target of the Daxi Army's attack, which prompted He Zhen to turn to Daxi, and had no way to wait for a price or make any other unrealistic plans.

Today, Shaanxi has no real Manchu and Han army.

In other words, He Zhen has no other choice now. He either is jointly strangled by the Daxi Army and the Dashun Army as a traitor, or becomes a general under the command of the new Dashun General King. Under the leadership of the new Dashun King, he fought hard with the Tartars, and washed away the shame of rebellion.

The disadvantage is that after the strong army of the Western Army entered Shaanxi, will it have friction with the Shun Army? The two sides have the same force and fire, which will lead to the two main forces of the anti-Qing Dynasty disappearing again in internal strife.

How to locate the relationship between Dashun and Daxi, how to resolve the differences between the two sides, and introduce the strong force of the Daxi Army into the main battlefield of the Qing Dynasty. Gu Junen, who is far away in Xi'an, offered advice to the supervisor, which was to hold another Xingyang conference.

The Xingyang Conference was a consultation meeting held in Xingyang in the eighth year of Chongzhen, in order to smash the encirclement and suppression of the Ming army, King Gao Yingxiang of the Rebellion, joined forces with Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng, King Zuo Jin, and King Zhengshi, among 13 rebels, including more than 200,000 people.

At this conference, Li Zicheng, who was not qualified at the time, proposed the strategic policy of joint combat and division of troops to meet the enemy, divided the peasant uprising into four routes, east, south, west and north, and placed the main force of the rebel army on the east side of the weak military force of the Ming army. Through continuous detour and maneuvering, he realized the strategic intention of eliminating the Ming army's live power.

At that time, Zhang Xianzhong joined forces with Gao Yingxiang to advance eastward, conquered Fengyang, dug up the ancestral tomb of the Ming Dynasty, and obtained tens of millions of dollars from Fengyang, which brought the strength of the rebel army to the next level.

Dashun and Daxi were originally in the same world, and they were all rebels. Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were able to cooperate in resisting the Ming army, but now they can naturally cooperate in resisting the Qing army.

Dashun and Daxi have the foundation for joining forces to fight against the Qing Dynasty. Whether it is the high-level and the same roots, or the natural closeness of the rebels of the lower-level officers and soldiers, they are favorable conditions for cooperation between the two sides.

What is rare is that the two leaders, Lu Wenzong and Zhang Xianzhong, had the same and firm attitude towards the invasion of foreign races.

Therefore, in the face of a common enemy, as long as the two sides can shelve the dispute, they can completely reunite into a powerful force that is far beyond the Qing army.

Gu Junen's suggestion Lu Si agreed very much. As long as He Zhen was willing to surrender, he decided to hold another Xingyang Conference in Hanzhong. Even if he adopted a policy of concession against Zhang Xianzhong, he would definitely not be able to get Zhang Xianzhong's Western Army as an enemy.

"You He Zhen is afraid that I, Lu Wenzong, will not keep my trust in the future, but everything I, Lu Wenzong, said to you is sincere. If you think it is not possible, you must swear to heaven that you can follow the blood letter of the covenant. But in Lu's opinion, those are nothing but good things. If you trust each other, why do you need those fake things? For you, He Zhen, if you don't want Lu, you have to return to Lu."

Speaking of this, Lu Si snatched the cigarette butt on the ground and said to He Zhen seriously: "No matter how much you say, it is not as good as a Han Chinese. I am also a Han Chinese. You are willing to return. I temporarily appointed you as the Marquis of Hanzhong in the name of the King of Chuang of the Dashun State. Are you willing to go to Beijing to hold the Manchus' den with me or to Henan to block the Ajige? All of this is yours. I will just say that no matter how complicated or complicated the matter between us, I will throw it aside first, because this is a family matter. Brothers are fighting against the wall and defending their insults outside. You, He Zhen, should understand the principle of "

After saying that, he took out another cigarette and threw it to He Zhen. He Zhen shook his head and refused to answer it. He took out his tobacco leaf, put it on the fire and lit it. Then he said, "The King of Chuang is really speaking, and we can't speak silly. Even if we recognize you, the King of Chuang, we may not recognize it."

He Zhen didn't know that Ma Ke had already contacted Xi'an.

"I sent someone to Mako. Although he was an old general of the Ming Dynasty in the previous round, he had surrendered to me. Now that I was revived Xi'an, it was natural for him to lead his troops to come back. Besides, you, He Zhen, have you returned to Dashun. Will Mako still want to surrender to Manchus?"

Mako was more uncomfortable than He Zhen because He Zhen did not surrender again, but Mako was the Shun Army. He fought with the Daxi Army in the previous period, so he could neither surrender Zhang Xianzhong nor rashly entered Hanzhong. He could only express his surrender to the new governor in Xi'an and vigorously promote the surrender of Hanzhong.

"After saying so much, you Lao He thought about it yesterday, let's express your opinion. We can't delay it for too long, otherwise Zhang Xianzhong will come over, whether you Lao He or my new King of Rebellion, I'm afraid it will be difficult to settle down."

Lu Si's name for He Zhen became "Old He".

After hearing this, He Zhen hesitated and stood up and bowed: "I am willing to be ordered by the state of supervision!"

Lu Si reached out to help He Zhen, but said, "Don't you go and ask the people below?"

"A man, how can he be such a mother? As you said by King Chuang, we are all Han people. Let's talk about what situation will happen in the future. Now we should join our hearts to drive the Tartars out of China. Otherwise, wouldn't we really be a traitor and cannot enter the ancestral grave after death?"

Before He Zhen came to see Dashun's regent, she had actually decided to surrender again. This was just to get a precise statement.

Zhang Xianzhong cannot go out to North Sichuan to "make trouble", he He Zhen can still control the new King of Breaking. Now, he can't help it.

"happy!"

Lu Si hugged He Zhen, who was twenty years older than him, "I just said that Old He is a man!"

This action made He Zhen stunned for a moment. When King Lu Chuang let go of his hand, the man turned around and waved to his own military horses, and immediately dozens of cavalry ran out.

Seeing this, Shunjun was worried that something would happen, so Li Laiheng, Fan Ba ​​and other generals immediately led dozens of personal soldiers to run out.

Before Lu Si could move, he looked at the horses running towards He's army indifferently.

He Zhen glanced out of the corner of his eyes, nodded secretly, and waited for his general to come over, raised his right hand and shouted: "Drop off the horse, pay homage to the King of Chuang!"

"See King of Breaking!"

Dozens of Hemen generals immediately turned over and knelt on one knee. Among them were Yan Ziming, who persuaded He Zhen to establish the King of Chuang, and the Jade Seal of the Shi Kingdom.

"All up!"

Lu Si stepped forward and helped the first He general who knelt on the ground, looked around the other generals, and smiled and said, "Haha" and said, "In the future, you will be my good brothers of Lu Wenzong. Everyone will follow me to kill the Manchu Tartars, so that the Manchus will know how hard we Han people are, and it is not just soft!"
