Ming Taizi's Total War

Chapter 235 Cooperation with Li Zicheng
Seeing that his main general was killed, the Qing army no longer had the will to fight. Wherever Zhu Cilang carried Azig's head, the Qing army dropped their helmets and armor one by one, threw down their weapons, and knelt down on the ground surrender.

They have already lost this battle, and there is no point in continuing to fight, and their main general is also dead. If this is the case, why should they continue to fight.

They are also born and raised by their parents, and they are real people, not NPCs made up of a bunch of data. If they can, they certainly hope that they can survive.

Seeing those Qing troops who gave up fighting, Zhu Cihong smiled.

He thought to himself that he finally won. This time he annihilated thousands of elite Qing troops. He believed that Duoduo would be dealt a big blow. Next, he would cooperate with Li Zicheng to attack the Qing army together.

As long as Duoduo is defeated here, Mi Qing will no longer have the possibility of competing for the world, and Li Zicheng will lose the ability to fight me because of the heavy losses on the battlefield, and the world will return to the rule of Ming Dynasty under.

The Ming Dynasty can live for another 300 years. If future generations follow the example of the West, reform and strengthen themselves, and adopt new technologies, it is unknown whether they can create a Han Dynasty with a lifespan of 800 years.

Just as Zhu Cihong was thinking about the future, suddenly a hundred households trotted up to him.

"Your Majesty, Wu Sangui's army has also surrendered."

It turned out that after hearing that Azige was killed by Zhu Cihuang, Wu Sangui didn't want to fight any more. Although he felt that he was no worse than Azige, he was not sure how to fight against the Ming army who was fighting to the death like a sea of ​​people.

That being the case, it might as well surrender directly, maybe Zhu Cihong will spare his life for the sake of his knowledge, even if he doesn't spare his life, he can still die with dignity.

"Oh, take me to see it." Zhu Cixiang wanted to see what Wu Sangui, the King of Pingxi, looked like now.

"Your Majesty, I surrender. Please spare Sangui's life." As soon as he saw Zhu Cihong coming, Wu Sangui knelt down and begged for mercy, and begged Zhu Cihong to spare his life.

But he also didn't think about why Zhu Cihong spared his life. From Shanhaiguan, Wu Sangui went to Miqing to fight against Li Zicheng, Wu Sangui should be ready to be scolded by the world.

"Oh, Wu Sangui, why do you think I should spare your life?" There was a playful smile on the corner of Zhu Cihong's mouth.

If you want him to spare Wu Sangui's life, you must at least give him a reason.

Wu Sangui thought for a moment and answered Zhu Cixiang's question.

"With the minister here, the Guan Ning Army can become His Majesty's right-hand man, fighting north and south for His Majesty."

It seems that Wu Sangui regards Guan Ningjun as his own private army, thinking that without him, no one can command these people. This is really naive, like a wishful thinking child.

"I can also train more and stronger troops for His Majesty."

"Oh, that's it." Zhu Cixiang said disdainfully.

"I'll tell you, Wu Sangui."

"The Guan Ning Army is not your private soldier. They have been raised by the state for generations, and all their food and clothing are provided by the Ming Dynasty. The generals in the Guan Ning Army are all appointed by the court. Tell me, why do they listen? Yours, not mine." Zhu Cihong said contemptuously.

Who an army listens to has little to do with the will of the commander of the army. The key is to see who can keep the army well fed, so that they can gain military exploits and gain promotion and wealth on the battlefield.

People are very materialistic, because if they don’t eat, they will starve to death, if they don’t wear clothes, they will freeze to death, and if they don’t drink water, they will die of thirst.

And even from an emotional point of view, they should take orders from Zhu Cihong rather than Wu Sangui.

Because the Guan Ning army fought for the Ming Dynasty far longer than the time when Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui were the two commanders.

"As for training the army, there are many people who can train, why should I use you." Zhu Cihong's last sentence sentenced Wu Sangui to death.

Since Wu Sangui has no use value and has a history of betraying the Ming Dynasty, why should Zhu Cixiang let him go?

After Zhu Cihong said this sentence, Wu Sangui went limp and fell on the yellow ground, because he knew that Zhu Cihong would definitely want him to die today.

But he was desperate too quickly, because Zhu Cihong still had one trick that didn't work.

"Let all Wu Jun come over, give them a small knife, and cut off a piece of flesh from Wu Sangui's body. Anyone who refuses to follow will be beheaded on the spot."

Hearing this sentence, even Wu Sangui was a battle-tested general, and couldn't help but tremble all over.

Next, Wu Jun lined up and everyone cut a piece of flesh and blood from Wu Sangui's body. Some soldiers who had deep feelings for Wu Sangui were unwilling, and Zhu Cixiang was not polite to them, so he had someone cut him off and throw it to the ground on the spot.

Soon all the flesh on Wu Sangui's body was cut off, but there were still more than 1000 soldiers lining up behind him, and they had to participate in such a grand banquet.

Fortunately, the bones were still there, so Zhu Cixi ordered them to use a knife to cut a mark on Wu Sangui's bones, and soon Wu Sangui's bones were broken.

Fortunately, Wu Sangui died of pain when he cut his flesh just now, otherwise he would feel the joy of death with just a random cut.

After dealing with Wu Sangui and Azige, Zhu Cihong asked the auxiliary soldiers to take all the troops under their command to the rear for strict surveillance.

The war is urgent now, and Zhu Cixiang does not have time to deal with those thousands of troops.

"Soldiers of the three armies, go forward, join me and Li Zicheng to pinch the Qing army!" With an order, more than a hundred thousand Ming troops started again, and moved towards Duoduo's direction.

In fact, Zhu Cixiang did not notify Li Zicheng at all beforehand, and Li Zicheng did not inform Zhu Cixiang when he attacked the Qing army. After all, the relationship between the two could be described as water and fire. Chongzhen died because of Li Zicheng, and Zhu Cixiang and Li Zicheng had no choice but to live together.

But now it is a great battle to determine the fate of the nation. Zhu Cihong is not stupid enough to cooperate with Duoduo to attack Li Zicheng, but has a tacit understanding with Li Zicheng to attack Duoduo.

He knew that there was bound to be a big battle between himself and Li Zicheng, but that big battle would not start at this time. Zhu Cihong would only rekindle the war against Li Zicheng when the Qing army lost the ability to take control of the Central Plains.

The place where Li Zicheng and Duoduo fought was not far from Zhu Cihong, only a dozen miles away, and Zhu Cihong rushed over with the soldiers of the three armies in a short time.

But seeing the Qing army and the Shun army rushing left and right, fighting together, the formation was extremely chaotic and disorderly, just like ordinary people fighting with eight fists, it can be seen how chaotic and fierce their battle was. kind of situation.

"Should we wait until the brains of that old boy Li Zicheng and the Tartars have come out, and then we can take action." Just as the Ming army slowly approached the Shun army and the Qing army, Gao Jie suddenly found Zhu Cihong, Said to him.
