There is a typo in the chapter name, it should be Chapter 107...
===
The Taihang Mountains are connected to the Yanshan Mountains in the north, the Wangwu Mountains in the south are close to the Yellow River, the Loess Plateau is connected to the west, and the North China Plain is connected to the east. This majestic and majestic mountain range stretches for thousands of miles from north to south with it as its main trunk, with deep ravines and crisscrossing mountains.
The main battlefield between the Qing and Shun armies was north of the Yellow River.
Here there are steep cliffs, many mountains, and the peaks are winding and undulating, like a giant dragon lying on the land of North China.
On the broad and thick back of the Taihang Mountains, soldiers of the Dashun Army and Manchurian cavalry shuttled around, flags intertwined into waves and floods, endlessly, and all the people on this land were involved in the war.
.
Some of the Dashun local guards who first crossed the Yellow River north from Henan have arrived in Hebei one after another.
Kang Dayan is Li Jiyu's subordinate. He was originally a refugee from Liaodong. He fled into the pass due to the ravages of the Eastern Barbarians and became a refugee. After moving around, he joined the Dashun Army in Henan and is now classified as Li Jiyu's subordinate.
The soldiers of the Guards followed the Dashun Army to the north to fight against the Qing Dynasty.
After this Dashun local guard went north from the Sunjiadu Ferry on the south bank of the Yellow River, it first entered the territory of Huaiqing Prefecture. Later, because there was no fighting within the boundaries of Huaiqing Prefecture, it was captured by Li Polu, the commanding general of the Palace Right Army.
Transferred to Wei Hui Mansion to assist in defense.
Currently, Kang Dayan is stationed with Li Jiyu in the Bailu Mountain area of Weihui Prefecture. This area is close to Shanxi and belongs to the remnants of the Taihang Mountains. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack, so it was handed over to the local guards for garrison.
The Dashun Field Army originally stationed locally was transferred by Li Polu to Ji County and Anyang to reinforce the main battlefields.
Before Kang Dayan fled to the pass, he was a border resident of Liaodong. He was also incorporated into Dongjiang Town and served as a border soldier for a period of time. Therefore, his martial arts skills were considered outstanding among the Dashun local guards. Soon after he followed Li Jiyu to the north.
, has been promoted to become Li Jiyu's personal soldier.
There is no such thing as servants in Dashun's military system. The nature of personal soldiers is completely different from that of servants who have a strong personal attachment relationship. However, in Kang Dayan's own opinion, this is somewhat regarded as a kind of respect for him by the master general.
He had a fairly good opinion of Li Jiyu. This famous Henan native bandit was well-known as a fence-sitter, but now he was tightly tied to the Dashun Army's chariot.
This may mean that insightful people have more expectations for Dashun’s future, right?
Kang Dayan's hometown was destroyed by the Manchus. He lived in Dongjiang Town for a while, but his colleagues in Dongjiang had long since died or surrendered.
For Kang Dayan, now that the Manchus are entering the pass, it doesn't take much thinking to know that the Donglu will definitely spread the misfortune and destruction that Liaodong suffered to the entire Central Plains.
He had seen with his own eyes the brutality and bloodshed of the Manchus, so he only felt that the recent claims by Dorgon and a group of his imperial literati that "the Qing army had strict military discipline and discipline" and that "the Qing avenged the mourning of Chongzhen"
It's just farting.
When Kang Dayan was in Dongjiang Town, he was owed military pay for many months by the Ming court. He fled to the pass and became a refugee, largely because of the greed and incompetence of the court officials.
But even if the Ming Dynasty has become such an unbearable broken ship, Kang Dayan will not hesitate at all between the Ming Dynasty and Donglu. He will definitely choose to side with the Ming Dynasty.
What's more, the current Dashun Dynasty is not like the Ming Dynasty, which was greedy and cruel internally and incompetent and shameless. Instead, it is a happy and energetic founding situation.
For Kang Dayan, there is no doubt about what he chooses to fight for.
Li Jiyu is not like that. Unlike Kang Dayan, who attacks the border residents directly, he is more scheming and calculating, and the only criterion for his actions is the balance of interests.
Li Jiyu is now leading his old Shanzhai soldiers and Dashun local guards northward, mainly because he saw the courage and talents of the "Three Saints" Li Zicheng, Li Guo, and Li Laiheng in Henan.
He tended to believe that the Dashun Army had the potential to dominate the world and establish a new dynasty, so he decided to put all his wealth and life on Li Laiheng.
Li Jiyu's deputy Shen Jingbang was an arty master. Facing the steep and difficult Taihang Mountains, he thought deeply of Cao Cao's "Bitter Cold Journey":
"Climbing north to the Taihang Mountains is so difficult and so majestic!
The sheep's intestines are bent, and the wheels are destroyed.
How desolate the trees are!
The sound of the north wind is sad.
A bear squats against me, a tiger and a leopard cry on the road.
There are few people in the valley, how does the snow fall?
When you stretch your neck and sigh, you will have many things to cherish when you travel far.
Why am I depressed?
I want to return eastward.
The water is deep and the bridge is dead, and the middle road is wandering.
Lost in confusion, lost the way, no shelter in the evening.
The journey was far away, and both men and horses were hungry.
Carrying a bag to collect salary, holding an ax and ice to make mince.
The sad poem about Dongshan makes me sad."
Li Jiyu narrowed his eyes and said with emotion:
"This is probably the first time for us Henan people to see such steep mountains and ridges. The Manchus had to cross such high mountains and rivers before they could kill Kaifeng.
How could this possibly succeed?"
Kang Dayan, Li Jiyu's personal soldier, was standing by and patted his chest and said:
"The general is right. Unless everyone in the world is dizzy, all the gentry are blind, and all the heroes are tied up, how can the Donglu invade the Central Plains?"
Kang Da witnessed with his own eyes how Liaodong was conquered by Nurhaci, and he also witnessed with his own eyes how Dongjiang Town was destroyed by Huang Taiji in cannibalism.
In fact, Kang Dayan witnessed almost all the major victories won by the Qing army.
But in his mind, and in the minds of most Han people in the world now, they don't think Dorgon could possibly win the world.
The fate of the Hu people's country lasted only a hundred years, and the legends and testimonies seemed so powerful.
Even the Hongguang court of the Southern Ming Dynasty, which was most hostile to the Dashun Army, generally believed that no matter how the situation developed, it would take the Qing army at least ten years to pacify North China.
Within the Dashun Army, or within friendly forces like Ximing, more people believed that the Qing Army would be very successful if it could occupy the land of Youyan and create the situation of the Khitans in the past.
Only the most pessimistic people like Fang Yiren and Gu Junen believed that the Battle of Jiahe had the possibility of failure. But even pessimists like Fang Gu only believed that the Qing army could occupy Hebei after winning the Battle of Jiahe.
After witnessing the Dashun regime's management and revitalization of Henan and Huguang, how could they believe that a Jurchen tribe with a population of only a few hundred thousand could have the possibility of "one sea"?
Although the current situation of the war is still very unclear, one of the top fence-sitters in the Central Plains like Li Jiyu is now firmly on Li Laiheng's side. So, what is there to doubt about the final victory of the Dashun Army?
Along with the remnants of the Taihang Mountains extending to the east, more and more Shunjun cities and flags guarded the north bank of the Yellow River.
The Dashun Local Guards, who have just arrived from Henan, cannot be compared with the Dashun Field Army in terms of combat effectiveness, weapons, training, etc., let alone the brave Eight Banners soldiers, but these local guards are also
He firmly shouldered the many responsibilities of guarding the Central Plains.
When Li Jiyu climbed to the pass of the mountain pass and looked at the dangers of the mountains and rivers from west to east, he could not help but feel a surge of majestic pride in his heart.
He even felt a little regretful: "When the King of Jin was recruiting troops in Victory Village, if I had bet all my wealth and life on the King of Jin's subordinates, wouldn't I have a duke to do it today?"
While Li Jiyu was sighing, a scout rushed to the foot of the mountain. After Shen Jingbang took the military information from him, his face immediately changed with shock, and he rushed over, shouting:
