Across the heavens in the Red Mansion

Chapter 39
After a while, the lean soldier who ran to the outside of the main tent explained the reason to the guarding soldiers outside the main tent, and the soldiers outside the camp greeted him a few times before going into the main tent to report.

In the main tent of the barracks, Sun Chuanting sat in the same tent with many generals.

Sun Chuanting, who was sitting upright in the main seat in the main tent, was discussing with the generals how to solve the problem of uneven military equipment in the army.

After a while, someone in the main tent winked at the guard beside Sun Chuanting, and the guard guarding Sun Chuanting saw someone winking at him outside the tent, thinking that there was something to report outside.

Seeing this, the guard immediately saw the opportunity for Sun Dushi to stop talking, and moved closer to Sun Chuanting and gestured towards the outside of the main tent.

Seeing this, Sun Chuanting whispered to his guards, "Go outside and see what's going on."

When the guard saw that Supervisor Sun was about to speak, he hurried forward and bent down in front of Sun Chuanting. After listening to Sun Chuanting's words, the guard heard Sun Chuanting's instructions.

Immediately, he said goodbye, and exited the main tent from the side and rear.

The guard came outside the tent, looked at the soldier standing in front of him, and asked, "Old Hu, what else do you need to report outside? Tell me quickly. Master Sun is waiting inside."

After hearing Jinwei's question, Lao Hu hurriedly said to Jinwei: "Brother Li, there is a scholar outside asking to see Governor Sun, saying that he has important military information to report to Governor Sun. The brothers outside are not sure what to do. That’s when I came in to report.”

The guard, who was called Brother Li by Lao Hu, understood after hearing what Lao Hu said, and immediately said to Lao Hu: "I'm going to report to the supervisor, you wait here first, wait for me information."

After Li Jinwei finished speaking, he quickly stepped into the main tent.

Sun Chuanting and the generals under his command had just finished discussing, when they saw Li Jinwei coming in from the outside, lowered his head and said to Sun Chuanting in a low voice: "Master, a scholar came from outside the barracks and said he has something important to report. The brothers outside are not sure." I'm here to report my idea."

Sun Chuanting listened to what Li Jinwei said to him, and motioned Li Jinwei to step aside. Li Jinwei stood aside honestly after he finished speaking and waited for Sun Chuanting's instructions.

Sun Chuanting immediately said loudly to several generals in his camp: "The issue of armaments is the most important. Now we must do our best to solve the issue of armaments. It is impossible for the soldiers in the siege of Kaifeng to just take advantage of them." Go to war with these dilapidated weapons, or you will lose."

"We are only allowed to win this time, not lose. You must solve this problem before sending troops, otherwise you will be questioned."

Now Da Ming can't afford to lose. After several times of repeated battles and consumption, if he loses again, Da Ming will really have no strength.

Sun Chuanting's troops were not the last strength of the Ming Dynasty, but the final result was almost there.

In fact, there are still several powerful forces in the Ming Dynasty, such as Guanning Iron Cavalry. After the establishment of Nanming, the four Jiangbei towns Liu Zeqing, Liu Liangzuo, Gao Jie, and Huang Degong each had about 5 troops and 20 to 30 troops in Hubei. Zuo Liangyu from China, Shi Kefa from Jiangnan, etc. Unfortunately, these were all self-respecting soldiers later on.

In September 1643, Sun Chuanting was defeated in Ruzhou and died.

In 1644, when Li Zicheng called, the sergeants along the way turned their backs one after another, and when they were about to be in danger in the capital, Chongzhen felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly ordered to mobilize all kinds of troops and horses to King Jingqin.

At a critical juncture, the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty were harboring ulterior motives and did not want to march into King Qin. After Zuo Liangyu received the edict from King Qin, he wrote back a letter, asking the imperial court to give him a route to march. There is nothing wrong with him. Liu Zeqing Even more simply, he lied that he was injured after falling from a horse and could not enter King Jingqin.

After Wu Sangui received the edict, although he led his troops to rescue, the journey was protracted. Before he arrived at the capital, the capital was captured by Li Zicheng, and the Ming Dynasty was declared to perish.Among the various armies of Chongzhen, only Tang Tong, the general soldier of Miyun, led 8000 troops to King Qin in the capital.

Tang Tong came with his troops, which made Chongzhen heave a sigh of relief, but he did an absurd thing and sent an eunuch to supervise the army. This move is self-evident, and it is obvious that Tang Tong cannot be trusted. That's enough, as soon as he gave his loyalty to the emperor "willing to sacrifice his life in service, so that the culprit will be wiped out quickly", the emperor sent a servant to watch him.

This move by Chongzhen made Tang Tong curse angrily. On the one hand, the emperor rewarded him and granted him an official position, but on the other hand, he did not trust him and asked a slave to monitor him. In the eyes of the emperor, he was not even as good as a slave. So he sent a memorial to the emperor, saying that he had insufficient troops to defend the capital, and then led his troops to leave the capital.

As a result, Emperor Chongzhen was hanged on Meishan later, and the glorious Ming Dynasty died.

So looking at it this way, Sun Chuanting is indeed clear, and there is no reason why he can't afford to lose this battle.

As Sun Chuanting said: "He, Li Zicheng, can lose eight times out of ten, but I, Sun Chuanting, can't afford to lose even once!"

Sun Chuanting's army is indeed the last living force of the Ming Dynasty, so there is a sentence in "History of Ming Dynasty".

"Chuan Ting died, and Ming died!"

After listening to Sun Chuanting solemnly speaking about this matter, the generals under him stood up from their seats with excitement and loudly responded to Sun Chuanting: "Yes, I obey my orders."

Hearing the voices of the generals in his ears, Sun Chuanting looked around them with such aura that the generals dared not make a sound.

Immediately, the generals saw Sun Chuanting speak slowly and said: "As the commander, the soldiers in the army who are sick due to the weather have already invited the medical officer to see them, so we must not affect other soldiers."

Ren Qi, who was standing at the lower right of Sun Chuanting, listened to Sun Chuanting's instructions, and hurriedly bowed his hands to Sun Chuanting and said: "Yes, Sun Dushi, this subordinate will do it now."

Immediately, Sun Chuanting said to everyone: "Since that's the case, let's stop here today. You all go back and make arrangements for today's discussion."

The generals listened to Sun Chuanting's words, and all the generals bowed their hands to Sun Chuanting to say their goodbyes. Sun Chuanting nodded at this and signaled that everyone knew about it and retreated.

Seeing the backs of everyone starting to leave the camp, Sun Chuanting shouted to Qiaoqian: "Vice General Qiao, please stay here for a while, I have something to do for you."

Qiaoqian was Sun Chuanting's confidant. Of course, in history, Qiaoqian's real name was Qiaoqian Gao, the deputy envoy of the Supervising Army, and his status was not much different from Sun Chuanting's.

Hearing Sun Chuanting's call to stop his housewarming, he stopped his outward steps, turned around and walked back, and said to Sun Chuanting, "Supervisor, do you have any orders?"
