Chapter 700 Go North to Liaoyang
War money is always the easiest to earn in the world. Whether it is regional conflicts or regional conflicts, as long as it rises to the level of war, it will inevitably form a deficit in arms trade.
"Chongzhen, you are still cruel enough."
Li Zicheng clenched his fists, stared at the map in front of him, and gritted his teeth and said, "Just these two batches of hot air balloons, how dare you ask for 500,000 taels. You are even more damn than the Shanxi merchants!!"
Yang Fangxing, who was standing aside, showed a sense of worry in his expression.
"Master, this battle cannot be fought any longer. Let's talk to Jianlu."
Yang Fangxing stepped forward and said, "From the battle between our rebel army and the Jianlu, we owe more than 3 million taels of silver to the Ming Dynasty for all military supplies such as firearms, artillery, armor, gunpowder, etc.
If the war in southern Liaoning continues, the debt will continue to accumulate, which is not something we can bear. We will take advantage of the elite Jianlu led by Huang Taiji and be severely damaged and repelled by our army, and…”
"Peace talk?"
Li Zicheng sneered and turned to look at Yang Fangxing, "Super Prime Minister, do you think this is possible? Even if the general can stop his subordinates and stop fighting with the eight banners of Jianlu, then the Ming army led by Sun Chengzong and the Ming army led by Liu Xingzuo,
Do you think they will listen to our commander’s military orders?
Don't be foolish.
Um?
Yang Fangxing showed doubts and looked at Li Zicheng in confusion. He didn't know what his commander meant to say these words.
"Supreme, now we have no choice."
If their Liaodong Rebel Army was really like this, then from now on, they will become the pioneers of the Ming Dynasty's containment of the enemy. No matter how many times they win on the battlefield, they will not be able to gain a foothold in Liao.
Li Zicheng suppressed his anger and looked at Yang Fangxing and said, "Take the elite troops led by Huang Taiji, in the previous battle, they were severely injured by our army and retreated to the Liaoyang area.
Li Zicheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, you have someone to guard this Haizhou Guard for us, and Chongzhen still has this kind of ethics."
Yang Fangxing never thought about such a result from beginning to end, but now that he really did this, Yang Fangxing felt a little discouraged.
However, in a moment, Yang Fangxing thought of something.
hehe…
Yang Fangxing was silent.
When he was fighting head-on with Jianlu, he wanted to pull up the Ming army units guarding Liao, and then drag the Ming Dynasty into the water to alleviate the complex situation faced by the Liaodong Rebel Army.
“Haha~”
After more craftsmen gathered under his command, they cooperated with the Ming Dynasty to completely expel the Eight Banners of Jianlu from Liao, the vast area adjacent to Liao will be the territory of our Liaodong Rebel Army!"
Li Zicheng is ambitious.
Our Liaodong Rebel Army and the Eight Banners of Jianlu are already immortal. Even if Huang Taiji shows goodwill to us, will the Prime Minister dare to go to Jianlu's command?"
From the beginning, Chongzhen never thought of asking me to stop fighting, otherwise he would not have specially transported a batch of hot air balloons from the Ming Dynasty when the battle situation on the front line of Haizhou Wei was unstable.
With the little wealth under Li Zicheng's command, if he wants to resist the fierce attack of the Eight Banners of the Housing and Urban-Rural Development, he must order a large number of arms from the Ming Dynasty, and then arm the soldiers under his command to ensure victory on the battlefield.
Not to mention that both sides were red-eyed.
"Master, no."
If Jianlu is asked to seize the opportunity, he will face the front line of Haizhou Wei..."
Li Zicheng also figured it out.
"Isn't the current situation just forcing our army to do this?"
Li Zicheng sighed: "What we can do now is to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty through repeated battles with the Eight Banners of Jianlu, and continuously enhance the elite scale of our army.
"The Liao land does not belong to us after all."
I am so arrogant that I feel that if there are more athletes gathered under my command, I can gradually get rid of Chongzhen's control and constraints. In the end, I will be delusional."
One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.
After all, Emperor Chongzhen, who was far away in the capital, was too treacherous and rude. When he plotted against others, he would not care about anything at all.
Without the Ming Dynasty's transportation, can our Liaodong rebel army withstand the fierce offensive of the Jianli on this battlefield?
But Li Zicheng never expected that as the battle continued to deepen, the first thing he had to get into this vortex was that the Liaodong rebel army led by him, including the eight banners of the Jianlu under Huang Taiji.
These two tigers were sobbed and bitten by Emperor Chongzhen. There was no possibility that they would cause both sides to be constantly damaged.
Li Zicheng shook his head with a wry smile, "I owe so much debt to the Ming Dynasty. If our army does not pay it, will the minister think Chongzhen will give us all kinds of firearms and artillery?
After all, in the past, in order to secure the three guards in southern Liao, and even the right guards in Dingliao, the Liaodong rebel army led by Li Zicheng divided the fields in the above areas, searched the two traitors who had been following Jianlu, rectified the roads and water conservancy facilities, and relied on the
The above things have made the lower-level groups under the rule have a good impression of the Liaodong Rebel Army.
It is unrealistic to gain a foothold in Liaodong.
If they gave in this time and all the territory under their jurisdiction was handed over to the Ming Dynasty to serve as collateral for their previous debts, then their Liaodong rebel army will not be able to escape this fate in the future.
"Master General, what do you mean is that our Liaodong rebel army will completely abandon the Three Guards in the South of Liao, Ding Liao Youwei and other places, and then turn to Liaoyang Town?"
Our Liaodong Rebel Army must gather the main elites and fight to the Liaoyang area as soon as possible. Only by taking Liaoyang can our Liaodong Rebel Army truly stand firm in Liao."
If the Liaodong Rebel Army led by Li Zicheng could develop in the above-mentioned regions for several years and gradually clarify the tax and service system and legal system, it would be able to grow into a regional regime.
Yang Fangxing: “…”
Facing the brave Jianlu Eight Banners.
Unfortunately, Emperor Chongzhen suppressed Li Zicheng's ambition by relying on an arms trade.
Facing the warlike Jianlu Eight Banners.
Huang Taiji is ambitious.
Yang Fangxing's expression changed drastically when he heard this, "If the main force is gathered and the Liaoyang area gathers, the garrison of the Haizhou Guard will inevitably have loopholes."
Yang Fangxing did not expect such a result at the beginning.
Li Zicheng's mood was very complicated.
"Call the Tianyou Palace, the Sixth Government and other departments will make corresponding preparations."
Li Zicheng frowned slightly and looked at Yang Fangxing and said, "Take all the people who can be taken away. Except for the officials under the rebel army, other groups who are willing to follow the Liaodong rebel army will start again in Liaoyang Town. Those who are unwilling to leave will not force them.
But those under our army, those who dare to try to leave will be killed on the spot!”
"Here!"
Faced with Li Zicheng's intimidation, Yang Fangxing hurriedly bowed and responded.
Chapter completed!
