Chapter 703 Can't beat the father-in-law or the son-in-law?
In Beijing, Lu Wenzong, the Dashun Supervisor, planned to lead a large army to "authorize" the Daxi Army to completely resolve the biggest disaster in the north. Later, he used the power of the great victory to go to the southeast with a million troops to present the unification of the universe and lay the foundation for the Lu family's failure.
However, Zhang Xianzhong, who set up the "Imperial Camp" in Guyuan, Shaanxi at that time, also made the decision to destroy Shun at almost the same time.
"You guys are so stupid. I'm a scholar after all. That yellow-haired boy wants to call me the King of Chu. He is Liu Bang, but he doesn't even have a chance!"
"I had given up to the yellow-haired boy, always thinking about the love of blind man Li, thinking that the Han people cannot be occupied by the Manchu Tatars, so I fought with him with the Qing Dynasty. Now that the Tartars are dead, I have to talk to him, and he is so happy that he can't sit on the dragon throne of the Zhu family!"
At the Guyuan Imperial Front Meeting, Zhang Xianzhong directly expressed his attitude towards attacking Shun with the civil and military officials of the Western Army, and planned to launch three large armies to destroy Shun.
At the same time, he ordered an edict to issue the yellow-haired boy of the Shun Army, saying that as long as the Shun Army surrendered to the West, he could swear to the heavens that the yellow-haired boy would be the King of Shun and would not be replaced by hereditary successors.
"If you don't look at monks and Buddha's faces, you are always blind son-in-law. As an elder, I cannot rely on my old age and not be careless about my old love."
Zhang Xianzhong muttered what Li Zicheng came to Beijing back then, and said to Chongzhen what he said to him as long as he was the Northwest provinces to him, Li Blind Li could continue to submit to the Ming Dynasty. Now, Zhang Xianzhong also learns from Li Blind Li. As long as Lu Huangmao surrenders, Zhang Xianzhong can also draw one or two provinces to return to Lu Huangmao Shi Town.
"I just don't have a daughter, maybe he's the only one."
The momentum of the Western Army swept the northwest made Zhang Xianzhong very confident in destroying Shun. Since leaving Sichuan, the progress of the Western Army has indeed been smooth. Not only did it conquer Gongchang, Minzhou, Lintao, Anding, Ganzhou, Liangzhou, Lanzhou, Jingyuan, Ningxia, Suzhou, Xining, Yansui and other places, it also killed Zhang Wenheng, Gansu Governor of the Qing Dynasty, Liu Liangchen, Gansu General, Mao Liang, Liangzhou Deputy General, Mao Rong, Suzhou Deputy General, Pan Yunteng, Ganliang Daolin Weizao, Tongzhi Zhao Chongxue, magistrate Zhao Chong, etc., and captured 76 cities and 103 fortresses, killing and injuring more than 40,000 Qing troops, forcing more than 50 green camp generals such as Long Tangtong, Bai Guangen, Gao Xun, Wang Daye, Kang Zhenbang.
In terms of force, the Western Army raised 120 battalions before leaving Sichuan. Among them, Zhang Xianzhong led 50 battalions, and the rest were the 19th battalions of General Pingdong, Sun Kewang, general Anxi, Li Dingguo, general Anxi, 16th battalions of General Dingbei, Ainengqi, general Funan, and 20th battalions of General Funan, with a total force of more than 210,000 people.
Now, more than 60 battalions have been reduced and expanded based on the 120th battalion, resulting in the total strength of the Western Army reaching more than 340,000.
The momentum of the momentum is that the northwest only knows that there is a Great West, but not that there is a Great Sutra, and not that there is a Great Qing and Ming dynasties.
Zhuang Lang, appointed by the Qing court, said that Fan Zhi heard that the Western Army was coming, so scared that he ran to the mountains to hide. Later, a villager went up the mountain to chop firewood. Fan Zhi mistakenly thought that it was the Western Army who came to search for him, so he jumped off the cliff so scared.
Zhang Xianzhong's righteous descendants were beloved. When Li Dingguo led his troops to Yansui from Ningxia to the east and broke into Yulin, Baode, Yan'an and other places, the local leaders of the anti-Qing rebel army Chen Du, He Shouzhong, Zhang Douguang, Liu Denglou, Ren Yigui and others led their troops to surrender.
There were also Li Jiantai, the chief assistant of the cabinet of the former Chongzhen Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, Li Yukui, the former governor of Ningxia of the Ming Dynasty, and Li Yukui, who surrendered to Sun Kewang. Zhang Tianfu, the general of the Han and Qiang who were appointed by the Qing Dynasty, Sheng Jiading, the guerrilla guerrilla in Xing'an Town, Huang Erxing, and deputy general Ma Ning also surrendered to the Western Army after hearing about the fall of Beijing.
Jiang Xiang's general Niu Guangtian did not choose to follow Jiang Xiang quickly returned to Dada, but led his troops to stay in Baodezhou and called himself the President of Shanxi. (Author's note: This person is the first person in China to claim to be the President of the People's Republic of China in history)
However, the president, as soon as Li Dingguo's troops entered Baode, he led his troops to surrender to the Western Army and was appointed as the deputy general of Baode by Li Dingguo.
The rapid expansion of military strength became Zhang Xianzhong's greatest confidence, and the Western Army occupied nearly ten times more than when it was in Sichuan.
However, one consequence of the expansion of the Western Army's troops was that Zhang Xianzhong urgently needed a new source of money and grain to support his army, because the northwest was too barren.
The so-called high-rise buildings have unstable foundations.
If you want to obtain a new source of money and grain, Zhang Xianzhong either chose to go south and re-enter Sichuan, and then conquered Yunnan, Guizhou and Huguang in the Ming Dynasty, or started a war against his "neighbor" Dashun.
The Eight Kings had no idea of destroying Shun until September, until the news that Shun's army successfully revived Beijing in the Eastern Expedition.
"There is no two days, and the country has no two masters. There can only be one master in Dashun Daxi."
As soon as Zhang Xianzhong's left prime minister Wang Zhaoling received the news that Beijing was re-occupied by the Shun Army, he offered the destruction policy to Emperor Zhang Xianzhong of the Western Conference.
According to Wang Zhaolin's plan, the Daxi Army should take advantage of the opportunity of the main force of the Shun Army being transferred to the east to destroy the Qing Dynasty. The Shaanxi garrison was empty for a thousand years and quickly led its troops to seize Xi'an. Then, the capital of Daxi was directly set in Xi'an. Like Li Zicheng, he used Shaanxi as a base to cross the river and expedition to destroy Shun in one fell swoop.
"Now that the Shun Army has left Beijing and Manchuria has been destroyed. If Your Majesty does not declare war on the Shun Army at this time, if the Shun Army has a chance to breathe, it will definitely lead to the army to attack our Daxi."
Wang Zhaoling saw it very clearly. Compared with Dashun, although Daxi's military and horses are not weak, the population under the rule is far inferior to the money and food.
Especially the Shun Army occupied Huaiyang and Shandong, which had a wealthy land. Therefore, even if the northern Zhili was destroyed, the Shun Army could rely on Huaiyang and Shandong's money and food to survive the current difficulties.
Although the Western Army occupied a wide area, no place could provide the West with a stable and long-term source of money and food.
One side has a decline and the other side has increased. One side has a strong national strength, but the other side is in a difficult position. What will the Daxi do to resist the attack of the Shun Army in the future?
"Damn it, if I had known that the Tartars were so careless, I would have taken my men to the east to fight."
Zhang Xianzhong also regretted the decision to attack the northwest rather than to march the eastward expedition. He was not afraid of the eight kings and determined to resist the Qing Dynasty and kill the Tartars and protect the Han people's country. However, he still had selfish thoughts at that time, thinking that even the blind Li could not defeat the Manchu Tartars. It can be seen that the Manchu Tartars' soldiers were really powerful, so he wanted Li's yellow-haired son-in-law to lead the remnants of the Shun Army to fight to the death with the Manchu Tartars. Then he would definitely be much easier to take action in the west.
I never thought that the awesome Manchus were actually a bunch of paper tigers!
"He is the ancestor Banban. He suffered a loss at the beginning, but now he can't be stupid anymore. Old Wang's words are right. I won't beat him now. When he gets full and drinks, he will come and beat me!"
"I can't beat Li Jianzi, and I can't beat Little Yellow-haired!"
