Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Li Chengdong has been quite depressed since he switched camps. Although Emperor Hongguang treats him well, it is not an ordinary feeling to bear a despised surname on his head. The good-looking Li surname has now become a surname, and now he has a surname of Ren.  There is no battle to fight. It is said that military merit is used to atone for sins. I am afraid it is not that easy to achieve meritorious service!

    Published On this day, Li Chengdong, his nephew Li Benzhen, He Dacheng and Wang Zhigang drank together. These people all received similar treatment, so they had a common language.

    Li Benzhen poured a glass of wine for his uncle, "Uncle, the imperial court is now stationed in Dingzhou, and the Manchu and Qing Dynasties are also increasing their troops. There is a big war to be fought. I wonder if you can take off the shit basin on your head?  "Nie Li Benzhen, like his uncle, always feels frustrated in front of others.

    Release Li Chengdong looked at his nephew and then at He Dacheng and Wang Zhigang, "Everyone, everyone here is our own people. I will say whatever I have to say. It's not that I criticize the emperor's strategy, but that strategy simply won't work. To drive away wolves and swallow tigers  ? The Manchu Qing is not that easy to drive away. If it is not good, it will be a difficult situation to deal with! "

    Posted by He Dacheng and others are military generals, and the emphasis is on meeting in a narrow road, the brave will win, and fighting means fighting with all your might, so I agree with Li Chengdong's statement, "I think most of the generals in the army do not agree with the emperor's strategy. This battle is really not good.  If you go too far, the Tatars will be wiped out. If you don't go too far, the victory will be difficult to determine, and your losses will be immeasurable." He Dacheng frowned and said.

    Li Benshen shook his hand and said, "Those things are far away. Our top priority is to accumulate military exploits. Uncle and nephew have a way. Your relationship with Marquis Xingping is much stronger than ours. Can you ask Marquis Xingping to allocate some to us?"  We don¡¯t need many men and horses, just 10,000. We don¡¯t have any military power at all now, so it¡¯s not easy to make military exploits!¡±

    When it was released, Li Chengdong was forced to surrender. Besides, Li Chengdong avenged Gao Jie, so the relationship between Gao Yuanzhao and Li Chengdong was not so tense. Li Benshen and others were different. Back then, they rebelled against Gao Yuanzhao. Although they are now professed ministers, they  The grudge in my heart is still there.

    Posted that Li Chengdong is a good man, and he knew what his nephew wanted to do when he heard his words, "Although 10,000 horses and horses are a little short, they are enough if used properly. I will go and see now, hoping to get troops and horses." Li Chengdong and Wu Sangui  The old team of others have been disrupted and reorganized, and their previous wealth is now gone, otherwise they wouldn't be so depressed.

    Published Gao Yuanzhao and Gao Di were discussing the current war situation. Facing the increase of troops from the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Gao Yuanzhao and Gao Yuanzhao intuitively felt that a big battle was going to be fought, and this battle could only be won but not defeated.

    After hearing that Li Chengdong came to see him, Gao Yuanzhao immediately asked someone to invite Li Chengdong in, "Why is Tingyu free today? Come and sit!" Gao Yuanzhao treated Li Chengdong and Li Benzhen differently. Gao Di received the treatment of Li Chengdong from Xing.  I understand him, and I think Li Chengdong is worth getting to know. Now that we are all a family, we have nothing to talk about.

    Published When they heard that Li Chengdong was going to invite 10,000 troops to fight, Gao Di and Gao Yuanzhao looked at each other. The two of them were just talking about whether to ask for orders to fight!  Gao Yuanzhao smiled slightly, "Since Tingyu is like this, I will go and request orders for Tingyu from now on, for fear that the emperor will not agree!" Gao Di and Gao Yuanzhao could not find such a person, and they did not expect Li Chengdong himself  stood up.

    I just got Huang Shiren's battle report. After they captured Li Zicheng's hometown of Mizhi, they encountered a blockade from the Qing army. The Qing army in Shanxi formed a copper wall around Datong. Huang Shiren said in the battle report that within a month, I'm afraid  There will be no progress.  As a result, the plan of a three-way pincer attack was in danger of falling through. And now the Qing army has increased its troops in Hebei, accumulating a hundred thousand troops. I dare not easily capture the empty Shanxi. The originally favorable situation was because of Huang Shiren's  Obstructed, there is a change.

    Posted "My dear, Shunzhi sent heavy troops to deal with the three armies. The interior must be empty. If we can break through the Tatar defense line, this battle will be easier to fight." I handed the battle report to Yin Shixun, "Now it seems that only  The King of Gui has an absolute advantage outside the pass, and he also defeated the Tatars who tried to seize the pass at Shanhaiguan, but it is not easy for Huang Shiren and I to achieve success."

    Posting Yin Shixun nodded, "Your Majesty, I thought that Shunzhi was giving it a go and looking at the focus of his deployment of troops. He wanted to fight me decisively in Hebei. He was sure that the Emperor was here and wanted to reverse the decline in one fell swoop.  If something goes wrong at this time, the consequences will be disastrous! Wei Chen thinks that he can inform Hu Maozhen and ask him to delay the allocation of food and grass, causing logistical pressure on the Tatars, and first suppress the Tatars in terms of momentum."

    Posted: Yin Shixun and I are talking!  Gao Di and Gao Yuanzhao came. Gao Yuanzhao told Li Chengdong's request. I pondered for a while and said, "Call Li Chengdong."

    Posted ¡°Li Aiqing, I have an important mission.?Leave it to you, I will allocate you 20,000 troops. You go north along the Taihang Mountains and capture Xuanhua in the shortest time. If you can capture Xuanhua, I will give you a heavy reward.  "I was not planning to send Li Chengdong to advance into the Taihang Mountains, but Li Chengdong has been with the Manchus for several years and is familiar with the situation in Hebei. If Xuanhua is captured, it will not only reduce the pressure on Huang Shiren, but also cause trouble to the Manchus.  Under great pressure, Xuanhua is the west gate of Beijing. If this gap can be opened in the iron wall of the Qing army, Shunzhi's arrangement can be disrupted. Of course, this task is also very arduous, and it is hard to say whether it can be completed.

    Li Chengdong didn't think much about the announcement, and immediately promised to live up to Emperor Hongguang's expectations and win Xuanhua as soon as possible. Li Chengdong said in his heart, there are 20,000 troops now, let alone Xuanhua. If he works harder, he can win Yanqing, Changping, and even  To conquer Beijing, he would no longer be him.

    Regarding the fact that Emperor Hongguang sent Dang Shouxulin to become his deputy general, Li Chengdong felt that it was normal for Emperor Hongguang to do this. He was assigned such a heavy task just after he surrendered, and he held heavy troops. He would not trust Emperor Hongguang if he sent two  Not only the two people from the Hongguang Emperor faction are also very particular. Li Chengdong and Dang Shousu Lin were originally raised in the rebel army. They speak their hometown dialect quite a lot, which can reduce friction.

    After the announcement was actually on the road, Li Chengdong realized that the hardships mentioned by Emperor Hongguang were not ordinary hardships. In order not to attract the attention of the Manchus, they took all the mountain roads. They really trekked through mountains and rivers and could not ride even horses. Many people, including Li Chengdong,  The generals had blisters on their feet, so they were well prepared in terms of food and grass, otherwise this army would have become an army of beggars after leaving the Taihang Mountains.

    Release Li Chengdong camped in the mountains twenty miles away from Zhuolu to rest. After more than half a month of march, everyone was exhausted. When the army was resting, Li Chengdong called in his generals for a meeting.

    Posted by Li Benshen did not expect that Emperor Hongguang would let him and He Dacheng Wang Zhigang follow his uncle to fight. This made him feel that Emperor Hongguang trusted them and felt warm in his heart. "Uncle, as far as I know, after the Tatars entered the Pass,  Most of the Manchus live around the capital. Didn¡¯t the emperor say that the old, weak, women and children should be spared? Then we can¡¯t attack Zhuolu.¡±

    Released Li Chengdong looked at Dang Shousu and Lin Chengcheng, "You two, Tingyu and I are a guilty person now, and I can't help but be a little eager for quick success, so it's not that Tingyu disobeyed the imperial edict, but that he will not accept the emperor's orders. Tingyu  We are preparing for a big fight, I wonder if the two generals can understand Ting Yu¡¯s difficulties.¡±

    Published When Dang Shousu and Lin Chenggong heard what Li Chengdong said, they didn¡¯t understand what it meant at first. Later they learned that Li Chengdong wanted to massacre civilians for military merit.

    Fu Lincheng coughed and said, "General, the emperor said before we set off for the expedition that everything is based on the general. As for how the general fights, I will just follow his orders." After saying that, he glanced at Dang Shouxu, and the two of them did the same.  Old soldier Youzi knew that Li Chengdong wanted to make military achievements and remove the surname of Ni. If Li Chengdong did it cleanly and neatly, then they would naturally have a share of the credit. If Li Chengdong did this and the emperor found out, then the responsibility would naturally be borne by Li Chengdong. Counting two  No one suffers a loss, so they are naturally happy to take this ride.

    Released How could Li Chengdong not be clear about the thoughts of the two lieutenants, "As the saying goes, one general's achievements will lead to thousands of bones being withered, so let's fight! Deaths and injuries are inevitable. He Dacheng and Wang Zhigang will obey orders."

    Release He Dacheng and Wang Zhigang immediately stood up, "The general will be here."

    "You two have raised ten thousand troops to capture Zhuolu tonight. If you cannot capture it, you will not come back alive." Li Chengdong looked at the two lieutenants again, "After the city is broken, no chickens or dogs will be left.  "

    Published After Dang Shousu came out, the more he thought about it, the more something was wrong. He couldn't help complaining to Lin Yancheng, "Although Li Tingyu is responsible for doing this, you and I can't run away in the end. You forgot what the emperor told you!"

    Lin Zhengcheng sighed, "You think I am willing! Li Tingyu's eyes are red because he wants to make contributions. Let him do it now! Besides, when the emperor formulated the strategy, the following generals did not agree very much.  , but they cannot go against the emperor's will. The generals are eager to be a thorn in the side! Now that Li Tingyu is willing to be the thorn in the side, let him be the one. It's not that we are disloyal, but that it is too difficult to implement the emperor's strategy.  Therefore, Gao Di, Jin Shenghuan, and Li Dingguo and Huang Degong all believe that ensuring victory is the key, and I think Li Tingyu is right to do so."

    Posted: "He is going to massacre the city. I will give the emperor a tip now. This matter cannot be hidden no matter what. In the end, it is the two of us who are not human beings." After thinking about it, Dang Shousu thought it would be safer to inform the emperor.  At the same time, I also felt that Li Chengdong was a little daring, and it seemed that he should be sent to the military academy for him to learn.

    Released He Dacheng and Wang Zhigang were just like Li Chengdong¡¯s uncle and nephew. They were so excited to make meritorious deeds that night.The two men led 10,000 troops and took advantage of Zhuolu's unprepared Qing army. They easily entered Zhuolu and executed Li Chengdong's plan to massacre the city perfectly.  However, the bodies piled up like mountains and blood flowed into rivers.
