AD 1644, the Jiashen year, the first year of Guangzhong in Dashun, the second year of Zhaohe in the Qing Dynasty, the second year of Tongzhi in the Northern Ming Dynasty, the second year of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the Western Ming Dynasty, and the first year of the Jianguo period in the Southern Ming Dynasty.
Jiashen, Jiashen.
If Emperor Chongzhen had not died, this year would have been the seventeenth year of Chongzhen.
However, in the world that Li Laiheng lives in now, Emperor Chongzhen's sacred tablet is no longer worth a few dollars. His life and death in the first year of Yongchang that just passed was the most insignificant among the three emperors who died in the Huolu War.
One person.
A new order is brewing and is about to be born. Li Laiheng certainly knows about this decisive battle. This decisive battle to determine the ownership of the world will be more grand and bloody than the Battle of Huolu. In the blood, one regime will always win.
, the winner is bound to take over the world.
From Beijing to Kaifeng, from Chang'an to Wuchang, from Chengdu to Nanjing, Li Guo, Li Laiheng and his sons, Dorgon, Zhang Xianzhong and his adopted sons, all the righteous people of the Southern Ming Dynasty, these heroes, tyrants, overlords, heroes and
The unreachable stupidity, everyone's voices, beliefs and efforts formed an invisible network, covering it from the sky, thus determining how China's mountains and rivers would be arranged, and how the flowing clouds would change.
This is the final battle!
The undoubted decisive battle.
As soon as Li Laiheng left the palace, he immediately rushed to the Military Academy. The current Military Academy is co-located with the Military Government, and the Yamen of Bingbei Road is used as the official residence. The conditions are admittedly simple, but for Shun who is used to eating ice and drinking snow,
For military soldiers, it should actually be said that the conditions are greatly favorable.
Li Laiheng, followed by the Suwei knights, walked to the gate of the Military Government and the Military Academy's official residence when he heard Gu Junen's almost roaring voice from a distance.
Li Laiheng commented to Zhang Pixuan: "The staff officers who work for Gu Junen will definitely lose both their lifespan and their brains."
The pressure of the approaching decisive battle completely aroused Gu Junen's passion. His emotions seemed to be completely ignited by fire. He not only jumped up, but also danced wildly. All maps, military information documents, troop organization and strength
, these diagrams, texts, and intricate information flowed under Gu Junen's eyes and became orderly data.
Li Laiheng came in, knocked on the door and then said:
"If you are so honest and solitary that you can stay as a marquis and cut off the military plane, who else can I leave you?"
Gu Junen's efficiency in handling military affairs can indeed only be described as enthusiasm and passion. He handled military affairs as if he had finished a battle, with sweat dripping down his forehead. He only took the money after seeing His Royal Highness the King of Jin arrive.
He picked up a handkerchief and wiped his face.
Gu Junen said reservedly: "Your Highness has given you too much praise. I am far less majestic when it comes to making a decisive decision. Of course, charging into battle cannot be compared with waving the flag. Coordinating the overall situation for Your Highness. The president's officials...can't be compared with Leshan."
Li Laiheng knew that Gu Junen was arrogant. Even if he did not regard the position of prime minister of Pingzhang Zhengshi as his own, he at least believed that he was qualified to be equal to Fang Yiren.
But after Li Laiheng stabilized the Dashun regime, he made Fang Yiren the sole prime minister and the president of all officials. This was a grace that had not been seen in the world for two hundred years since Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the prime minister system.
Although Niu Jinxing had also served as Pingzhang political affairs before, at that time Hui Shiyang, a veteran of three dynasties of the Ming Dynasty, was also Pingzhang, at least in name.
Now that Hui Shiyang has gone to Xiangyang to retire, only Fang Yiren, a Pingzhang political official, is left in Dashun - he can be called the real independent prime minister in the world.
Gu Junen never felt that his ability or status was even half lower than Fang Yiren, so Fang Yiren could stand alone, but Gu Haozhi was just a soldier, and he was more or less dissatisfied.
Li Laiheng knew his mood, laughed, patted his back, and said bluntly:
"Hao Zhi is as good as anyone in the world. What are you worried about? Let's get to the point, what are the trends of the Qing army? Tomorrow is the first day of the Jiashen year. Our troops, grain, ordnance, baggage, fortifications...all of this,
Are everything properly deployed?"
Gu Junen looked at Li Laiheng with a bit of sadness on his face:
"His Highness ordered an army of 100,000 to be gathered in Kaifeng. Now, except for the Dianqian Army in Shandong, one part of the Dianzhong Army is in Tongguan, and the other is in Taiyuan, all the elite soldiers and generals of the other five armies have been concentrated in Kaifeng.
It was just that the Military Academy conducted a deduction, and most people believed that gathering troops in Kaifeng, although it could concentrate troops, would not be enough to relieve the emergency. Once the two fists of the Qing army attacked from the east and west, when our army defended and counterattacked,
I am afraid that more than half of Dashun's territory has been lost.
This will definitely have an extremely negative impact on the morale of our army. With the continuous loss of ground, even if we have the advantage of concentrated troops, when the morale of the army is low, we will not be able to do much."
Li Laiheng led everyone to sit down. He himself had read various military documents sent by the Military Academy. Moreover, the materials Li Laiheng had read were all statistics and analysis by Gu Junen, so normally speaking, the two of them
The idea of using troops should be relatively close.
But in Gu Junen's view, Li Laiheng's request to concentrate superior forces in Kaifeng a few years ago was really inconsistent with the law of war.
"Your Highness, the Art of War says: Don't underestimate the enemy because of the strength of your army, don't go against the crowd with your unique opinions, don't take argument as a necessity..."
Li Laiheng laughed and said: "I just want to say, do you have all these three words?"
Gu Junen said quickly: "I definitely have no such intention."
Li Laiheng chuckled and said: "Oh, you are so straight, don't talk nonsense. I understand what you mean, but in this battle of Jiahe, Donglu is bound to win, and Dorgon must seek a quick victory in a short time."
The result of victory. It can be said that in terms of the general trend, the situation is actually in favor of Dashun. Therefore, Gucai believes that this decisive battle is not only a turning point for the Dashun army to counterattack, but also a great opportunity to annihilate the main force of the Manchurians.
.”
Gu Junen smiled bitterly and said: "Does Your Highness want to use this battle to become the enemy of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty? But I'm afraid Dorgon is not Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande and others, and we have to ignore Jiangnan."
Li Laiheng said nonchalantly:
"Since the changes occurred in Jiangnan in the first year of Yongchang, it is no secret that Li Jiantai, Gao Qiqian, Liu Zeqing, Su Guansheng and others have tried to serve the king of Tang to supervise the country but failed.
Even those of us as far away as Henan know this, so how can people in Jiangnan not know?
I heard that Ma Shiying led the three towns, and Liu Liangzuo, Gao Qian, and Huang Degong fought in Jinling and supported King Fu as emperor. It is estimated that the official name change will be in the past few days.
But they clearly knew that Li Jiantai, Gao Qiqian, Liu Zeqing, and Su Guansheng wanted to support the Tang Dynasty, and Zheng, Huang Mingjun, Zhu Dadian, and Qian Qianyi wanted to support Lu. Now that they have entered Jinling, they have not touched the hearts of these people.
Anyone.
Is it really because of Ma Shiying's magnanimity? It's just that although the three town soldiers have the advantage, they can't completely overwhelm the other factions.
Yan Xin has sent many troops to lurk in Jiangnan. According to his estimation, when King Fu changes his name to the Yuan Dynasty, Jiangnan will inevitably have several civil strife. So, Hao Zhi, you are really overly worried about Jiangnan!"
