Chapter 583: The Four Heavenly Kings Conquer the World
Things in the northwest, including in Shanxi, Lu Si handed over to Li Guo and Meng Qiaofang.
Regarding Li Guo's brother-in-law, Lu Si felt that if Li Zicheng did not die, Dashun would not die, the only heir to the Dashun imperial power would probably ascend the throne to the emperor, and the posthumous title might be "Renzong" in the future.
Song Renzong, Ming Renzong, Shunrenzong.
Li Guo has a good personality to be successful, be generous to others, and be tolerant in encountering things. This personality is excellent for a ruler who is successful, and is easy to stabilize the court and unite civil and military affairs. However, in the current situation of China's crisis in the current crisis, this personality is absolutely unsatisfactory.
Li Guo led 200,000 Shun troops to surrender to the Ming Dynasty. As a result, the Zhongzhen Camp, which had the strongest combat effectiveness, was killed by He Tengjiao, an incompetent civil servant. The Shun Army generals who had been in power for more than ten years were played with in the hands of others. Li Guo himself died in Jinzhou. The key reason was that Li Guo gave up the independence of the Zhongzhen Camp in order to unite with the Ming Dynasty, and even handed over the military command.
What is this called grievance and seeking completeness!
Li Guo thought this could prove the loyalty of the Zhongzhen Camp to the Ming Dynasty and give it the sincere treatment of the Ming Dynasty. However, he did not know that the civil servants of Nanming led by He Tengjiao did not trust their "thieves" in their bones and harmed them in different ways. In the end, the Dashun Army, which was stronger than the Daxi Army, became a "supporting role" in the anti-Qing struggle, gradually fading out of the historical stage, and finally leaving a sighing history for future generations.
To put it bluntly, Li Guo’s benevolence and righteousness is benevolence and righteousness, but he lacks a unique temperament as a commander, that is, he cannot be decisive, and often has no decisions when encountering problems, or he is not ruthless enough.
Therefore, Lu Si nominally asked Li Guo to use Duke Xingguo to stay in Xi'an as the general of the Western Expedition, but the actual military and political matters were mostly handled by the Governor of Shaanxi Meng Qiaofang.
It’s not that Lu Si can’t trust Li Guo, but it’s because he is too trustworthy that his brother-in-law cannot make himself available.
In that case, with Li Guo's "emotion" towards the Western Army, he would probably really be able to sit idly by and watch the Western Army become another powerful enemy after the Qing Dynasty.
After all, the Western Army and the Shun Army were from the same family. The two families had a friendship of fighting side by side during the Chongzhen period. It can even be said that without Zhang Xianzhong, there would be no Li Zicheng. Now Lu Si once again promoted Shun and Western cooperation to fight against the Qing Dynasty. For Li Guo, it is probably more about "cooperation" than to think about where the situation in the north will develop after the Qing Dynasty.
This idea is obviously undesirable, and it can be almost 100% concluded that once the Qing Dynasty falls, the Eight Kings Zhang Xianzhong will definitely be eager to try and compete with the King of Breaking.
Lu Si will not take the initiative to tear up the agreement to cooperate with the Western Conference to fight against the Qing Dynasty, but he cannot be unprepared.
The Eight Great Kings Zhang Xianzhong is not worth worrying about, but Sun Kewang is a man of the world and cannot be underestimated.
This person, no matter where the historian of the Southern Ming Dynasty in Lu Si's previous life, was unanimously recognized that he was the only talent that could defeat the Qing Dynasty and save China.
King Li Dingguo of Jin, Duke of Zheng Cheng of the State, Zhang Huangyan of the Ministry of War, General Wen Anzhi of the Commander, and Governor Lian Chengbi of the State.
Meng Qiaofang's opinion is very good. If the Western Army wants to compete with the Shun Army for the rule of Northern China, they must cross the Yellow River expedition in the east. Then the importance of Shanxi among the two families is extremely prominent.
Lu Si believed that with Meng Qiaofang's ability, he would be able to quickly incorporate Shanxi into Dashun's command. As for Jiang Xiang, Lu Si also believed that this fence-leading general had a self-knowledge.
In addition, Lu Si also asked someone to give Meng Qiaofang a message, asking him to try to recruit a general named Wang Fuchen under Jiang Xiang.
Lu Si is not sure whether Wang Fuchen is called Wang Fuchen now, but this guy's nickname "Ma Yaozi" must be wrong.
Nowadays, those who can be called "harrier" are equivalent to Zhao Yun and Ma Chao's existence.
Such as Gao Jie, the horse horse, the horse horse king, the minister.
Lu Si did not explain too much to his brother-in-law Li Guo, because he knew that Li Guo's personality was destined to not argue with Meng Qiaofang, that is, Meng Qiaofang would make any suggestions. Even if it was not in line with Li Guo's thoughts, this Duke Xingguo would not argue for his brother-in-law and sister.
Li Guo, the first person left behind, did not fight. Only Meng Qiaofang, the governor of Shaanxi, could conspire and make conspiracy to make arrangements for Lu Si in advance, so as to seize the initiative after going to war with the Western Army in the future, and once again let the eight kings Zhang Xianzhong know that the King of Chuang could not be provoked.
In Beijing, my nephew Guangyuan sent someone to deliver a letter yesterday, saying that the Qing court had agreed to the peace agreement. He had a meeting with Jirgalang, Prince Zheng of Qing Dynasty, and reported the specific matters to the meeting one by one to the uncle Yu to find out.
Lu Si didn't ask his nephew to "instruct" the specific content of the negotiation, because his attitude had already informed the nephew accurately.
Guangyuan is a child who is somewhat similar to Li Guo, that is, both of them are kind or honest people. The difference is that Lu Si cannot educate his brother-in-law Li Guo, but he can teach his nephew.
Jia Hanfu, who was formerly a military officer of the Governor's office and now a senator in the State Administration, made a statement. If there were Manchu powerful people in the Qing court who were dissatisfied with Dorgon, could Beijing have contacted these Manchu powerful people in such a group, so that those Manchu powerful people could sleep peacefully, and there was no need to worry that Dorgon would also jump back alive.
The specific method is that the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolian under Dorgon were not all the two white banners of his direct line. If Beijing could find a way to get the Eight Banners of non-two white banners to escape Dorgon's command, then Dashun could allow these Eight Banners of non-two white banners to return to Beijing and leave the customs.
Jia Hanfu's advice can actually be done if it is done properly. After all, the Eight Banners are not a solid piece of law, and open and secret struggles are common.
Dai Shan, Jirgalang, Abatai and others in Beijing have been suppressed by Dorgon. Isn’t it good to take this opportunity to weaken Dorgon’s Eight Banners forces and make the Regent never return to his hometown?
As Lu Si said to his nephew Guangyuan, as long as the Qing court in Beijing developed a desire to negotiate peace and the peace talks have been carried out in essence, then the Manchurian powerful group that has no longer been condensed will not be much smarter than the bureaucratic group of the previous Ming Dynasty.
However, Lu Si felt that Jia Hanfu was not a masterpiece just by asking Beijing to "draw" Dorgon's soldiers. If you want to do it, you can do it more cleverly, so that the Eight Banners dogs can bite the dog, that is, kill each other.
This can be done completely.
You should know that the Eight Banners are killing each other in real history. First, Dorgon killed two yellow flags, and later, the Two Yellow Flags joined forces with the other four flags to kill two white flags. Finally, the Eight Banners of Manchuria, who were killed two white flags, forced the Eight Banners of Manchuria to slap the banner of protecting the Ming Dynasty in Kunming.
This is so desperate that after Emperor Yongli of the Southern Ming Dynasty was captured, the Manchu soldiers still had to take the risk to save the Ming Dynasty and destroy the Qing Dynasty.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Si dictated and a letter recorded by Jiang Xueyi was sent to Beijing with whip.
Dorgon has not been idle these two days, and organized an offensive of nearly 10,000 people, trying to defeat the main force of the Baoding Shun Army who had been following him.
At the beginning, the Qing army made some progress, and He Zhen's army was penetrated by the Qing army, but what made the Qing army desperate was that they did not expect that the Shun army would use the turtle tactics to the extreme. They not only dug trenches outside the military camp, but also dig trenches inside the military camp.
This made the Qing army unable to penetrate the entire Shun Army camp as before, but instead was surrounded and divided by the Shun Army, which used the "traffic trenches" to move, and then drove out little by little.
After knowing the real situation of the Shun Army camp from the withdrawn general, Dorgon was speechless for a long time. He really couldn't understand how the Shun Army, which clearly had the advantage, deeply engraved the "be careful to sail the ten thousand-year-old ship" into its bones and bloodlines.
Lu Si was not ashamed, but proud.
If you can't defeat your Eight Banners soldiers in the field, I won't fight with you. I'll admit defeat and dig ditches honestly. Isn't it embarrassing?
Just like your Dorgon, who is still fighting with a trapped beast, you will be able to decide the outcome in a battle with you!
It’s not bad if you Dorgon looks down on me. If you have the ability, go and fight Liangxiangcheng. Why are you staring at me like this coward?
The nine-character mantra of "building a hard village, digging deep into a trenches, fighting a stupid war" was used by Lu Si in an ingenious way, and was at the level of a Nascent Soul-level master.
Dorgon was also annoyed that Liangxiangcheng was not easier to fight than the Shun army that followed him because he really didn't have much siege equipment, and the artillery on the city posed too great a threat to the Qing army.
What made the Regent even more annoyed was that whenever he deliberately ordered the camp to advance to Liangxiang to lure the cowardly Shun Army to chase out from the camp and then give the Shun Army a shot back, the Shun Army would not move.
Fei waited for the Qing army to walk forward for more than ten or twenty miles before a small cavalry ran out of the camp to guard the outpost. Then he drove two or three thousand people forward with shovels and drove forward three or five miles, regardless of the excavation on the spot, first digging the road that might be used by the cavalry, and then drove to the camp here in a bold manner.
In short, under the wise command of His Highness the King of Chuang, the following Shun Army never gave the Qing army any chance of decisive battle or raid.
Even after a slight turmoil, the soldiers who went out to dig a trenches, "The Tartars are here!" and then ran back desperately.
And the so-called Tartars came were just a provocation of the Eight Banners soldiers.
How to fight this battle?
The news that Beijing is discussing peace talks also made people in the Qing army fluctuate. Many Manchu generals and schools secretly told the people below that the battle might be over, and don’t listen to the Regent’s life for nothing.
The food is getting smaller and smaller. The army of 30,000 people has no food every day. How long can the livestock carried by slaughtering alone?
After the livestock is eaten, can we still slaughter the war horse?
Without the mounts, what will these 30,000 troops use to fight the Tongshun army, and what will they take to go home?
What's even more annoying is that whenever night falls, a team of several people will ride horses to the vicinity of the Qing camp and start shouting, brothers, don't fight, come here, Dashun will give you food and promise to send you home and other deceptive words.
Usually, after a few words, these guys would immediately run away, because they were afraid of being caught by the Qing army. But when they found out that the Qing army who had come out to capture them returned to the camp, the group of people touched them again, which was annoying like a dog-skin plaster.
Even last night, the Shun Army set off fireworks outside the Qing army camp, saying that it was a celebration of the successful peace talks. From then on, Dashun, the uncle and nephew of the Qing Dynasty were called each other, and the two countries had a family for generations.
