Chapter 53: The Great Army Expedition

I have to say that Fengjie has a strong execution ability.

The bamboo rafts and boats needed to attack Chongqing were all completed in just ten days.

Li Dingguo commanded his troops without much experience in water war. Wen Anzhi explained some necessary knowledge to them without reservation. The rest of the words could not be explained clearly, so he could adapt to the situation.

Everything is ready and the army is about to set off.

Wen Anzhi originally hoped that the emperor would stay in Fengjie, which would be safer.

However, Zhu Youlang insisted on following the army to fight, and Wen'an had to give up after his persuasion failed.

The Thirteen Kuidong families have been notified. The ideal situation is that the army led by the emperor and the Thirteen Kuidong families will arrive at the city of Chongqing at the same time.

Standing by the river, Wen Anzhi looked back at Fengjie.

I don't know if I can win this time.

...

...

"Gao Fuzun, the money donated by each family has been sent to the government office. Please check it out."

General Wang Mingde bowed to Gao Minzhan with a charming smile.

"Um."

Gao Minzhan stroked his short beard with satisfaction and said with great benefit: "These guys are very sensible. With this money, I can reward the soldiers."

Gao Minzhan naturally would not reward all the money to the soldiers. In fact, it would be good if he could give away a small amount of money to the soldiers.

But you have to say something beautifully, otherwise wouldn’t it hurt your face?

"Fuzun, I will be a little worried about something."

Wang Mingde hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice.

"Speak and listen."

"Since Ertan surrendered, his troops have not been broken up but have continued to be led by him. Is this really no problem?"

Gao Minzhan thought Wang Mingde was worried about something, and he couldn't help but burst into laughter when he heard this.

"Are you still worried that they will join the Ming army again when they did this?"

"This is probably a matter of time. Now the Ming army is in a hurry again, what if..."

"No need to say anything more. I don't need to use someone, and I don't have to use someone."

Gao Minzhan acted as if he was worried about the country and the people, and said in a harmonious voice: "Er Tan was a meritorious of the court. How could he cut off his military power without any evidence? What's more, it's a critical moment when a great enemy is coming. Isn't this a mess? Mingde, you are good at everything, but you are too cautious."

Wang Mingde sighed and said, "I hope I'm thinking too much."

"Mingde, let's go out with Benfu for a walk. Benfu will personally inspect the Fubiao camp."

"I will obey the order!"

...

...

"Little Tiger, I finally saw you again!"

After seeing Duke Lin Guo Li Laiheng, Yuan Zongdi, was very excited to come forward and hug him.

The last time he went to Fengjie to pay homage to His Royal Highness the Prince, he happened to be disconnected from Li Laiheng.

As soon as he left, Li Laiheng arrived.

The uncle and nephew have not seen each other carefully calculated for more than half a year.

"Uncle Yuan, don't be fine."

Li Laiheng was in a good mood too.

This time the emperor personally led a large army to attack Chongqing, looking as if he was determined to win.

Li Laiheng also felt that they had a great chance this time. Just by comparing their troops, they steadily overwhelmed the Qing army in Chongqing. Not to mention the level of soldiers, it was simply a difference.

"Hey little tiger, I heard that the prince likes you very much. You are blessed."

Because Li Laiheng is young, the young prince has a good impression of him and even wants to keep Li Laiheng by his side.

It was Wen Anzhi who tried to persuade the prince to give up and allowed Li Laiheng to return to Kuidong to take charge of the overall situation.

"This, hehe..."

Li Laiheng is not good at speaking, but he also thinks it is a good thing to be favored by the prince.

"If you get the praise of Your Majesty, it will be worth it if you die."

Yuan Zongdi sighed: "I'm ashamed of my uncle for so long, but I haven't seen the beauty yet."

This cannot be entirely blamed by Yuan Zongdi.

After all, they were separated from the Yongli court in Yunnan after they joined the Ming Dynasty.

Under such circumstances, it is impossible for Yuan Zongdi and others to meet the emperor.

But the emperor was completely different when he arrived in Fengjie.

If the emperor had not issued an order to order the army to go to war, Yuan Zongdi really wanted to go to Fengjie to meet again.

But if it goes well, Yuan Zongdi will be able to see the emperor outside Chongqing City. So it doesn't matter.

"How many troops have you dispatched this time, little tiger?"

After pausing for a moment, Yuan Zongdi asked afterwards.

"Twenty thousand people, I brought them all except the young and old."

Li Laiheng said without hesitation.

The last time he attacked Chongqing, the main reason was that Yuan Zongdi's unit suffered heavy losses. Li Laiheng's unit was not affected much. However, after some reorganization, Li Laiheng could still bring out a large army.

Yuan Zongdi was a little miserable.

His strength is far inferior to that of Li Laiheng. Even in his heyday, he could have given out more than 10,000 soldiers.

After the last severe injury, Yuan Zongdi was seriously injured. This time, he only gathered five thousand people after picking them.

"Oh, this time, I'm afraid the Thirteen families can barely gather 100,000 people."

Even the most powerful Li Laiheng can only give out 20,000 people. It would be great if the Thirteen families gathered together to have 100,000 people.

"What are you afraid of Uncle Yuan? Donglu has fewer soldiers than ours. Besides, isn't there any more His Majesty?"

Li Laiheng's favor for the Emperor Ming Dynasty has increased recently.

I heard that the emperor will do things himself, and many decisions on major events are completed by the emperor himself.

The court officials only provided suggestions, but in the end they made the decision, the emperor was the only one.

Facts have proved that the emperor's decision was very correct. The Ming Dynasty had pulled out of the edge of the cliff, and the situation is getting better and better now.

"Yes, Your Majesty is there. King Jin is also a tough guy."

Both Li Dingguo, who were from the peasant army, both Li Laiheng and Yuan Zongdi had a good impression of him.

Originally, the relationship between the Daxi Army and the Dashun Army was very good. Although Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng are no longer around, the main generals of their respective camps still maintain a very good relationship.

To put it bluntly, this relationship is even much better than their relationship with Lao Chuanjun.

"Will Governor Wen come this time?"

"That's natural. I heard that the Chief Wen has rushed to build a large number of bamboo rafts, and by time it should have set off."

Speaking of Wen Anzhi, Li Laiheng and Yuan Zongdi both admired each other very much.

It is not something that ordinary people can do to be able to still run on the frontline in their seventies.

It can only be said that Wen Anzhi was really planning for the country and country of Ming Dynasty.

They naturally admire such loyal and kind ministers.

"It's great. This time I will talk about heroes with Master Wen to make wine and win Chongqing to achieve success!"

No one hopes that Chongqing will be returned to the Ming army than Yuan Zongdi, Li Laiheng and others.

In this way, they will no longer be attacked from both sides and can devote themselves to the attack on Huguang.

That's the world's granary, Huguang!

Even if we seize a city, the food we get is enough for the army to eat for a long time.

Although the thirteen families in Kuidong all farm on their own, no one would dislike too much food, right?
