Chapter 45 The end of the rainy season begins four: two episodes
"Go, go to your place to say"
Chuckdan said and walked, and Liu Liangchen had to follow him. When approaching Liu Liangchen's tent, Chuckdan said to others: "I have something to do today and I will talk to Commander Liu alone."
Military generals like Liu Liangchen also have a stove in their tents that can burn hot water and can force the moisture away in such humid and hot weather.
After entering the tent, Liu Liangchen quickly boiled water and made tea.
After a while, Chuckdan finished a cup of Jiangnan rich merchant Yang Wenli specially brought Huangshan Maojian, which was served by civil and military officials in the Great Xia Kingdom, and was waiting for Liu Liangchen to refill himself. He said: "General Liu, this marquis is a cheerful person and doesn't want to go around in circles with you."
“…”
"Have you heard of Yinglong Club?"
Liu Liangchen felt a little nervous. This is the biggest secret in the Daxia Kingdom at present. I heard that most of the people in it are young leaders of domestic civil and military officials. Who are the members and who are the leaders, and what is the relationship with the current emperor is all vague and there is no clear message conveyed.
This is the biggest secret of the Great Xia Kingdom. What does Chuckdan mean?
However, when he saw Chuckdan's face calm and calm expression, he was shocked.
"This person is only 35 years old, and is the adopted son of His Majesty the Emperor. He is from Sauron, is it..."
"This..., I will not hide it from the Marquis, and the general has also vaguely heard of it, but it is not very clear."
Chuckdan nodded, picked up the teacup and took another sip and stood up.
The rainy season in midsummer is much cooler after all, and the curtains of Liu Liangchen's tent have also been rolled up. Gusts of wind come from outside from time to time, which is very comfortable.
Chuckdan looked outside with his hands behind his back.
"I'm going to hide it from you, I am the leader of Yinglong Society."
As soon as these words were spoken, Liu Liangchen was shocked.
According to legend, the Yinglong Society had a token issued by His Majesty the Emperor himself, etching Yinglong's appearance with brass. Such people had the power to kill at some point.
In an instant, Liu Liangchen almost stood up and turned into a kneeling position. During the years in the Qing Dynasty, he had not learned anything else and knelt down quickly was almost his first reaction.
"It's not as mysterious as the legend. It's just a spontaneous organization of some young people who are loyal to the emperor. Later, when the emperor found out, he scolded us and ordered us to disband. Of course, we naturally did not disband, but we didn't have the tokens and flags on our bodies."
Chuckdan turned around, "We are all voluntary and from the heart. It is not easy for the emperor to establish the Great Xia Kingdom. We are deeply grateful for it. We don't want any mistakes in the Great Xia Kingdom, and we can't tolerate any gravel."
Seeing this, Liu Liangchen quickly knelt down in the southeast direction and was about to cry, but Chuckdan stopped him.
"No need for this. For the Kingdom of Daxia and the Emperor, what we need is unanimous respect and surrender, rather than saying one thing and doing another."
"The life you want can be provided by the Qing Dynasty in the past, and the remaining Ming Dynasty in the past, and no matter how bad it is, Li Zicheng's Shun State can also be provided by the Shun State, but have you ever thought about it? Why did they lose again and again, and they were in the end uncontrollable?"
"I think you don't know, let me tell you. According to Your Majesty's thinking, this country is a country where a few people are satisfied with and most people are surviving. No matter how hard you try to pick up and manage such a country, it will never escape the fate of destruction. It's just a matter of time."
"But Daxia is different. What she wants to do is to satisfy most people, and a few people are not satisfied. People like General Liu are naturally a few people in both Ming and Qing dynasties. It is understandable that you have dissatisfaction in your heart. What's more, your brother is still a high-ranking and powerful marquis in Ming dynasty, dominating the country."
"A such person is impossible to appear in the current Daxia Kingdom. If you still have such a thought, you will be destroyed as soon as possible, but..."
Chuckdan slowly approached Liu Liangchen, and in the end the distance between the two was only one person. Chuckdan stared at Liu Liangchen's eyes and said word by word: "After this incident, you can't stay in the Kingdom of Daxia, but for the sake of being quite dedicated in the past, you can go."
Liu Liangchen was shocked and cried loudly, "Mr. Marquis, I feel sorry for you. Although I, Liu Liangchen, complained occasionally, my salary alone can support the whole family. There are shops at home. The Hanhai Army is fair in dealing with things. I have never left."
Chuckdan shook his head, "The Kingdom of Daxia, Hanhai Army is different from any country in history. It must be hard-working and dedicated to maintaining it. It's not that I am not humane, but it is..."
He sighed, "You go, bring your family, tribe members who are willing to follow you, your shops and houses in China, and Yinglong will pay for it and arrange for a navy ship to take you to Jiangnan."
"By the way, after the battle of Long Kangji, the four towns in Jiangbei were defeated like mountains. The land of Jiangbei was just around the corner. The return of the land of Jiangbei was just around the corner. At present, the Ming Dynasty had no choice but to negotiate peace with our country and keep the Jiangnan route for the time being. The two sides were about to stop the troops and quit. You could arrange it calmly. After you leave, you hand over the military talisman to Hu Yousheng."
Liu Liangchen looked at Chuckdan and saw that his face was still solemn, so he had to say, "According to the rules, the generals above the brigade commander must be dismissed through the Privy Council."
Chuckdan turned around suddenly, looked at him coldly and said, "Don't test my patience. Now I am the commander of the army. This is during wartime, but I have the right to kill you!"
...
Liu Liangchen finally left. People like him had many dissatisfactions in their hearts. Although the salary of the Hanhai Army general was high, they were a dead person. They were not as good as in the Qing or Ming dynasties. In addition, although the generals of the Hanhai Army had a sense of accomplishment in fighting, they were not arrogant in the eyes of ordinary people and could not do whatever they wanted. To put it bluntly, in the Daxia Kingdom, there was no "master" or "people", and everyone was almost the same. Liu Liangchen could not drink the people around at will, let alone kill them without authorization and beat them to death.
In the Qing Dynasty, the farmers in their own farms, both men and women, belong to them, and they are both killed and sold. In the Ming Dynasty, there is almost the same difference. Even if the common people who do not belong to them, killing them is a trivial matter.
The common people, who cares about your life and death? The founding ancestor of the Ming Dynasty cared about it very much, but he was scolded by later generations.
But if I leave, even in the Ming Dynasty, how many years will I have to be happy?
"Han Haijun has learned almost all the skills. If there are five years, I can maintain the Ming Dynasty."
...
Nikan soon learned about Bozhou. After hearing this, he did not blame Chuckdan for acting without authorization, but asked the Privy Council to investigate nationwide to see who had the same thoughts as Liu Liangchen and sent them away.
"Do they have the secrets of the Daxia Kingdom? What's not true, the secrets of the Daxia Kingdom lie in the school, the workshop, the concept, and the army, it's just a natural thing."
However, after the incident of Liu Liangchen, Nikan became more careful about accepting the surrendered army and officials. If he had not taken special attention, he would not have to do anything to those generals who had a deep knowledge of the Ming army.
...
At the time when both sides actually ceased to fight, a war broke out in Susong, Huangmei and Qianshan areas at the junction of Hubei and Nanzhili.
After Li Zicheng went south, it took a short time to capture Hunan. Hubei became dispensable in Li Zicheng's eyes. So he sent his former general, general Bai Wang to Hubei to guard. Bai Wang was a local Hubei native. He was not only brave and good at fighting, but also had the ability to command troops. When Li Zicheng led his army north to attack, he was guarding Hubei as a general, with only 70,000 people under his command, but he was obeyed by Zuo Liangyu, who claimed to have an army of hundreds of thousands.
After Li Zicheng lost to Ajig and went south to Huguang, Bai Wang advised him to make good use of the Hubei base to deal with the Qing army. Unfortunately, Li Zicheng did not listen. In fact, if he listened to Bai Wang's words, he would have had a chance to turn defeat into victory, because at this time, under Bai Wang's jurisdiction, Hubei became the only place under the command of Dashun Kingdom to recover stolen money and divide the land. Seventy thousand Hubei children were the profiters of this action and would definitely be able to defend their hometown to the death.
Hubei is a hometown of fish and rice. It is not a problem to support 300,000 troops in this place alone.
Hubei's water network was scattered, and the retreating Dashun Army had a large number of cavalry, infantry, and new forces like Bai Wang. It was not easy to capture the Ajige unit close to Ajige. Unfortunately, after Li Zicheng was defeated at Shanhaiguan, he ran all the way and was finally defeated by Ajige in Xingguozhou area of Wuchang Prefecture. In that battle, not only did Liu Zongmin and others be captured, but all the mules and horses were also lost. Since then, the Dashun Army has become a pure infantry army, and there is only a dead end to the Qing army with a large number of cavalry.
The same is true in this life, but the Qing army was replaced by Hanhai army.
The only difference is that whether it is Dashun or Daxi, the one who gave Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong a fatal blow - Oboi. He first followed Ajige and then Haoge, all of whom made shocking achievements for the Qing Dynasty. Unfortunately, in this life, the brave and invincible Oboi had long since returned to heaven.
In this life, after Li Zicheng led the army to Hunan, he left only two groups of people in Hubei, Bai Wang's Hubei Army and Liu Fangliang's Zuofu Camp, a total of 70,000 people, including Liu Fangliang's Zuofu Camp, and Bai Wang's Hubei Army, after the war to Hunan, had dropped from the previous 70,000 troops to 40,000 troops, but the elite troops remained the same.
In this life, because Li Zicheng was alive, he did not have Ajige's reluctance to pursue him. Wang Deren, the general under Bai Wang, was also the cavalry general assigned to him by Li Zicheng, still served under Bai Wang.
Wang Deren, nicknamed "Wang Zamao", is a fellow Mizhi villager of Li Zicheng. He is good at riding and shooting and is brave in combat. The so-called Wang Zamao is because his hair is black and yellow, and his face also looks like a "Hu man", so he has this title.
In fact, that was because people from northern Shaanxi, from the end of the Tang Dynasty, various tribes and forces occupied them, resulting in extremely complex ethnic composition. Li Zicheng also claimed to be a descendant of the Western Xia Kingdom, and there are naturally many people who have the appearance of "Hu people".
Bai Wang had 10,000 cavalry under his command, which was the elite in his hands. Bai Wang himself and Wang Deren each commanded half of them.
On this day, after learning that the Ming army had gone north to fight the Hanhai army, Bai Wang and Wang Deren discussed and decided to go to defend the empty Anqing Mansion to plunder.
At the beginning, Ma Degong, who guarded Anqing Prefecture, was naturally not Bai Wang's opponent because he had no cavalry under his command, so he retreated step by step. In the end, the three counties of Susong, Taihu and Wangjiang under Anqing Prefecture were all captured by Bai Wang, and the army was approaching Anqing.
At this time, Huang Degong was deeply involved in the Huaihe River war, it was impossible to mobilize troops to support Ma Degong, but in Tongcheng, there was still an ambush of an army.
Jin Shengheng’s forty thousand infantry and cavalry!
At this time, Jin Shengheng had already learned that the Ming army had suffered a great defeat at Long Kangji. After knowing this, he was full of courage. But if his 40,000 troops wanted to retreat to Jiangxi, they could only transport them through ships. The nearest ship to him is Huang Degong's brother-in-law Weng Zhiqi, but Weng Zhiqi spoke.
"If you assist Anqing in repelling the thieves, you can cross the river. Otherwise, he would not assist Jin Shengheng's troops in crossing the river before receiving the order from Jingnan Hou."
Jin Shengheng had no choice but to lead his troops to go. So, his 40,000 troops encountered Bai Wang's troops with 20,000 infantry and cavalry in the Susong-Huangmei area.
