Chapter 670: The Night of the Decisive Battle

After hearing this, Zhang Shao was shocked.

He never expected that in Guangping Prefecture, the Jinyiwei had already arranged a net of heaven and earth.

More than three thousand Jinyi Captains, how much resources have been poured into it.

Zhang Jingyi looked at him and smiled and said, "Do these people have enough? If not enough, I can still dispatch it."

"Enough, enough." Zhang Shao had a little bit of a broken can just now, otherwise he would not have dared to anger Long Yan.

But now he felt cold all over his body and suddenly realized that everything was under the calculations of others.

Zhang Jingyi nodded and said, "Since that's the case, go and arrange it. I want to get the result within three days!"

Zhang Shao nodded quickly and said yes.

On that day, a large number of people suddenly began to appear in Handan County, and then they invaded the door and stepped on the door.

And these Jinyiwei are so familiar with each other.

From time to time, gunshots came from all over the county.

This is the voice of the execution of the criminal.

The people arrested from nearby fields almost blocked the city gates. For a moment, everyone in the city was in danger.

Of course, Emperor Tianqi was not interested in posting any notices for peace at this time.

Because it won't take long, countless military generals will be mobilized here and near here.

At this moment, what I have to do... is to turn Handan into a huge battlefield.

All deployments are very fast.

The contact between Beijing and Handan has been completely cut off.

This is of course to prevent people in the capital from constantly conveying the deployment of Emperor Tianqi and Zhang Jingyi to the outside world.

After living for so many years, Emperor Aoki understood.

None of the people in the capital is credible.

The fundamental reason is that no matter what the old system or the new policy, there is only one reason why there are so many problems in the Ming Dynasty...

That's human!

These people have long been established since the Ming Dynasty, and even before the founding of the Ming Dynasty, they have become giants one by one. They have reached high positions step by step for various reasons. No matter what system it is, they will always get the greatest benefit.

Actually, it's just good.

But the problem is that after a person gets benefits, he will not give up because he will always want to get more.

Just like the Zhang family in Handan, they made money by mining at first, but later they felt that the profits of mining were not enough to satisfy them, so they thought about going public. When listing and selling stocks still could not fill their desires, they would use their advantages to gain more.

Emperor Tianqi wanted to break his head, but he couldn't understand why these people had come to this point as a good fortune.

The final conclusion is that the greed of these people is a bottomless pit, and I will never be able to satisfy them. Since it cannot be satisfied... then...

A vanguard's army arrived in Handan after 17 days.

They entered the city at night, under the stars and the moon, and the first group of the first group of the Donglin Army's First Teaching Brigade. Under the leadership of the regiment commander Li Dingguo, after entering the city quickly, Li Dingguo went to pay tribute to Emperor Tianqi without stopping.

Emperor Tianqi was very happy. Looking at the young guy, he immediately thought of himself. Now he is over thirty years old, much more stable than before. At this time, Li Dingguo was only in his early twenties, but he was already appointed as commander and led the most elite troops of the Donglin Army.

After the expansion, the military academy also established the Donglin Army. In addition to the major teaching teams, the Donglin Army established a regiment battalion, and the commander of the regiment battalion was called command, and then a squadron and a squadron were set up.

"When will the follow-up personnel arrive?"

Li Ding Guodao: "There are a lot of subsequent supplies, and you can reach the predetermined position within ten days. Vice Chief Instructor Lu was afraid that his Majesty and his mentor would have lost it, so he ordered me to come lightly and meet first."

Emperor Tianqi nodded: "How about the bandits in Nanzhili?"

"These bandits are very cunning. They know that our heavy troops are in Nanzhili, so they only attack the periphery and do not go deeper, so they are more confrontation between each other."

"Why don't you take the initiative?"

Li Dingguo smiled bitterly and said, "When the bandits attacked, they were overwhelmed, but when they were normal, they were broken into pieces. Once the army arrived, most of them lost their weapons and became a hundred trusts, and they had no way to attack. What the Donglin Army is best at is attacking tough and field battles. But if the bandits did not seek a decisive battle, if the Donglin Army attacked everywhere, they would kill chickens and use a ox knife."

Emperor Aoki still didn't understand.

Zhang Jingyi explained: "After all, Donglin is a fist, used to fight head-on. Suppressing thieves is more just to maintain public order. On the contrary, the Donglin army will not be effective. Unless Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong gather their troops to fight to the death, otherwise, tens of thousands of troops, although they are good at fighting for the best food, where can they go to find most of the enemy troops?"

Emperor Tianqi said, "Then why don't you learn from bandits and gather during battles and divide your troops to capture bandits on weekdays?"

Zhang Jingyi patiently analyzed: "I am not saying that it is ineffective, but once the troops are divided, the teaching in the army may be paused. In addition, the Donglin Army cannot pull artillery everywhere and carry boxes of gunpowder to go deep into the villages to suppress the thieves. Once you fall into this situation, the Donglin Army will fall into a passive position everywhere. The teaching task will be abandoned. It is better to maintain its original strengths."

Emperor Tianqi nodded: "But this time, we can finally fight. It seems that not only me, but also the Donglin Army, are now sharpening their knives."

After saying that, he looked at Li Dingguo: "Thank you for your hard work, go back to the camp to rest earlier."

Li Dingguo nodded, bowed and then left.

Two days later, a report was submitted.

In the Huaibei area, a large number of bandits began to gather, and Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong had also abandoned Nanzhili and advanced northward.

After receiving the message, Emperor Tianqi couldn't help but curse in anger: "The East Factory is full of waste, as well as the cabinet and six ministries... they are all wine bags."

Zhang Jing was accompanying him and couldn't help but say, "Why is Your Majesty furious?"

Emperor Tianqi was so angry that he almost jumped up and cursed: "The original report was a small victory a day and a great victory a day. How many thieves were killed today and how many thieves were killed tomorrow. That's fine, but what are you talking nonsense in the report? Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong rebelled against each other and fought each other. Gao Yingxiang was seriously injured. What did Li Zicheng and Gao Yingxiang break up, scolded each other and were tense? They also said that Zhang Xianzhong's old brother was captured and killed by Li Zicheng and was sentenced to death."

He snorted coldly, and he continued to curse: "But look at it now. When Li Zicheng from Wuchang is in action, Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong immediately joined forces to support Li Zicheng. From this we can see that even if these three people have any grudges, they are definitely not as exaggerated in the report. In order to destroy our Ming Dynasty, they are really like a rope. My princes and ministers are still daydreaming about bandits fighting in today's internal conflict and attacking each other tomorrow."

Zhang Jingyi: “…”

Emperor Tianqi continued: "Li Zicheng's troops attacked quickly, but they were far away from Beizhili. Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong... are now running towards him. Along the way... the court has almost no defense to defend. It seems... a bad battle is right in front of us."

Zhang Jing said immediately: "Since that's the case, then let's hit Gao and Zhang first!"

Emperor Tianqi nodded: "I have this plan too. Since they are attacking, they must be rushing along the Henan line, so it is better..."

So the king and his minister discussed for another night.

…………

The vast army and horses are like entering a no-man's land.

At this time, Gao and Zhang were already united, and tens of thousands of people were running towards Northern Zhili.

After receiving Li Zicheng's letter, Gao Yingxiang was determined to make a decision.

At this time, Gao Yingxiang was still the nominal leader of the bandits and was named King of Chuang. At this time, Li Zicheng was just a general of Chuang.

Of course, judging from the situation in recent years, there have been great changes. Li Zicheng recruited soldiers in Wuchang, and gradually began to go from bandits to separatist regimes. At this time, there were many soldiers and generals, and his strength was already faintly above Gao Yingxiang.

On the other hand, Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong were always trying to take down Nanzhili.

However, although he was a bandit, he acted cautiously. After several temptations, he found that Nanzhili was as stable as a rock. In addition to gathering heavy troops, the court had also won the hearts of the people in Nanzhili and achieved great results.

So... Gao Yingxiang was embarrassed. Henan, Guanzhong and other places had no harvest for many years, and they could no longer support such a huge military horse.

But Nanzhili couldn't take it for a while.

Li Zicheng, who wanted to join Wuchang, was still unable to bear the brink of face.

Under such circumstances, when the letter arrived, Gao Yingxiang immediately realized that the opportunity had finally come.

He first rode alone to meet Zhang Xianzhong overnight. Xiaoyi was so powerful that the two hit it off and decided not to miss this opportunity. He simply killed a shot and took the capital directly.

After all, there has been internal strife in the capital, and the emperor seems to be in a state of anxiety. In addition, Li Zicheng sent troops again, the court will inevitably lose sight of one thing.

As long as you clear the outer periphery of the capital in one fell swoop, you can directly siege the city. By then, the demise of the Ming Dynasty is only a matter of time.

At this time, Gao Yingxiang was in full swing. He and Zhang Xianzhong walked together. The two of them rode the horses and watched the vast crowd extend to the end of their vision. Gao Yingxiang said, "Old Zhang, if you want to speed up your pace, you must rush to wipe out the official army in one fell swoop before Li Xiandi's men arrived. At that time, when Brother Li arrived, you and me would turn their backs on the enemy, but you should be careful..."

"There is nothing to be careful." Zhang Xianzhong said without thinking: "Those official troops are just a bag of wine. Doesn't the king know the combat power of the Ming army? I'm the one who kills the Ming thief!"

Zhang Xianzhong seemed very optimistic.
Chapter completed!
