Chongzhen Undergraduates

In fact, the battle was not fierce, and it only lasted for a day.The main force of the Western Army still fled more than 1 people, and its main personnel were not injured.But Zhang Xianzhong lost the core materials and funds of the Onishi regime.

At noon the next day, the Ninth Army sent a regiment to escort a large number of seized troops down the river to Jiangkou.These were the baggage escorted by the rear army of the Western Army, which were captured by the Ninth Army in Huanglongxi.Zhang Xianzhong left everything with his boy army and fled back to Chengdu alone.

"Zuo Aiqing, are you awake?" Zhu Youjian looked at Zuo Maodi with a smile.

It can be said that Zuo Maodi did not participate in this battle at all, and the five shots were just a funny joke.But this joke is not pejorative, but pure hilarity.

"I don't need my minister for this battle. Of course, I can live my life drunk. Could it be that the emperor is reluctant to part with that catty of Luzhou wine?" Zuo Maodi joked with Zhu Youjian on the spot.

"Haha, do you still want to drink?" Zhu Youjian was in a good mood. In fact, he fully understood Zuo Maodi's meaning. This battle was tantamount to the maturity and rise of the Sichuan Army's command system.

Zuo Maodi had already seen the result before the war. He deliberately got himself drunk, so as to prove that he did not have an image.Therefore, after Zuo Maodi missed Zhang Xianzhong's first shot, Zhu Youjian didn't bother to stop him.Although this guy was drunk, he knew very well in his heart that he was molesting Zhang Xianzhong.

"Stop drinking. The battle in Chengdu is about to begin. I still can't figure out what the emperor's intentions are. I'm here to ask the Pope." Zuo Maodi's expression was very serious. He was dissatisfied with not killing Zhang Xianzhong in the Jiangkou blockade. untie.

From Zuo Maodi's perspective, how could he fail to see that this battle might kill Zhang Xianzhong.The Sichuan Army did not use force at all, but used the No.11 Army, which is relatively weak in combat power, as the main attack. This is not normal.

"I can't hide anything from you! Although Aiqing is worried about the Jiangkou blockade, why is she worried about Chengdu?" Zhu Youjian continued to ask with a smile.

"It's not the same. I have the advantage of the Jiangkou blockade. It looks large, but it can be expected. But Chengdu is the lair of thieves, and there are many unpredictable ones. The advantage lies in the thieves. Chengdu is useful and worthy of ministers. "Zuo Maodi looked serious.

"This shows that we still lack the best general." Zhu Youjian looked back at Zuo Maodi and said.

"Aren't the current generals of the Difficult Sichuan Army not good enough?" Zuo Maodi was confused, what was the emperor thinking?

"Ai Qing thinks, who is the most capable general in the Sichuan Army?"

"As General Yang Zhan, General Zeng Ying is a little younger. Given time, his achievements should be higher than Yang Zhan's."

"Words from the bottom of my heart!" Zhu Youjian gave Zuo Maodi a thumbs up.

"The emperor wants to fight a decisive battle?" Zuo Maodi woke up suddenly, and he suddenly asked Zhu Youjian.

"Don't forget, Aiqing, my Ming's real opponent is Houjin. This battle in Jiangkou has already doomed Houjin's attack on Shuzhong to fail halfway."

"That's right! Houjin's attack on Shuzhong was nothing more than wanting to annex Zhang Xianzhong. The defeat of Xianzei was equivalent to giving Daxi's family property to the emperor. Now Zhang Xianzhong only has 20 troops on the periphery. "

"Aiqing is wrong. Zhang Xianzhong not only has an army, but also generals. Don't forget, Aiqing, most of the generals of the Sichuan Army were formerly Li Zicheng's subordinates."

Zuo Maodi trembled slightly. He remembered that although the backbone of the Sichuan Army at the grassroots level were officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, the high-level generals did have a lot of former troops who broke into the army.

Moreover, Zhu Youjian seems to trust these people very much. Li Yan, Li Guo, and Li Laiheng are all former troops of Chuangjun, but they are all standing alone.

"That's because the emperor is broad-minded and treats them too well."

"No. I feel that the entry of Houjin is not only the safety of Ming Dynasty, but also a crisis for our entire Huaxia family. Whether it is the Chuangjun or the Western Army, we should stand together in this crisis and fight against the enemy together. I Call this alliance the united front. What I want to seek is to unite and fight the enemy together."

"Your Majesty..." Zuo Maodi was so excited that Zhu Youjian's words reached his heart.The reason why Zuo Maodi insisted on discord after Jin Yihe was that he had this sense of crisis in his bones.

"Just like Chuangjun, what I value most is that the Western Army has a future that we can unite with. Aiqing, don't doubt that maybe the person we need most is in the Western Army."

"Your Majesty, is this possible?" Zuo Maodi was somewhat skeptical. Zhang Kewang, who is currently the most powerful in the Western Army, actually did not make him feel very good about his quality.

Zhang Kewang did put pressure on the Sichuan Army in Diaoyu City, but that was because the Sichuan Army did not want a decisive battle.If the Sichuan Army really wanted to fight Zhang Kewang in Hechuan, Zuo Maodi believed that the Western Army would not be able to take advantage of it.

Although Zhang Kewang commanded well and showed the ability to command an army of [-], his letter of consolation showed that he was a snake and a mouse with two ends of character.Zuo Maodi believed that Zhu Youjian didn't need such a person.

"Trust me, we will gain something." Zhu Youjian looked confident.

"Why didn't the emperor directly talk to Zhang Xianzhong like Li Zicheng did?" Zuo Maodi admired Zhu Youjian's move to directly negotiate with Li Zicheng and successfully subdue Chuangjun.

It can be said that it was precisely because of this move that Da Ming completely got rid of the disadvantaged situation in the military and began to free up his hands to expand the scale of the military.If the Ming Dynasty was only trapped in the south of the Yangtze River, it would be difficult to expand on a large scale in the military.

"Because Zhang Xianzhong is not Li Zicheng, he is an unreasonable lunatic. I can't reason with such a person, but he can't die by my hands either."

"What will happen to Jin after Zhang Xianzhong surrenders?" Zuo Maodi asked.

"If there was no Jiangkou blockade, this possibility would exist. But because of the Jiangkou blockade, the possibility of Jin after Zhang Xianzhong surrendered was lost.

What Hou Jin needed was the wealth that Zhang Xianzhong had robbed for many years, what Zhang Xianzhong wanted was for Hou Jin to crown him king and retain his military power.But now Zhang Xianzhong has no financial resources to raise soldiers.It is impossible for Hou Jin to make him king and raise soldiers for him, which is not in the interests of Hou Jin.

If Zhang Xianzhong did not lose his wealth, Houjin could use the money to slowly support Zhang Xianzhong, and at the same time drive the Daxi Army to work for Houjin.Without this money, the Daxi Army would have become a burden that does not belong to his direct line at all.

And this army is too large and united.With the addition of Zhang Xianzhong, the possible king, this account is too uneconomical.What Wu Sangui handed over to Houjin was the Shanhaiguan who was crowned king, but Zhang Xianzhong now has nothing to hand in the nomination certificate.

Hou Jin could use the minimum cost to recruit Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates instead of recruiting Zhang Xianzhong directly. "

Zhu Youjian said a lot in one breath, basically analyzing the impact of the Jiangkou blockade thoroughly.

This passage made Zuo Maodi extremely admired, and he had already begun to pay attention to the importance of this wealth.

"Then let the minister stay in Chengdu, block Zhang Xianzhong's retreat, and force a showdown between the Western Army and Hou Jin." Zuo Maodi knew Zhu Youjian's intentions, and of course he also saw how to move the next move.

"Okay, then I'll go back to Chongqing first and prepare for the upcoming war." It's time for Zhu Youjian to transport the money to a safe place earlier.

Chapter 321: Zhang Xianzhong slaughtered Chengdu

Zhang Xianzhong ran back to Chongqing, dying of fear.

The devil king who has fought all his life has been catching eagles all day long, but this time he was pecked by the eagle.Zhang Xianzhong really had never suffered such a loss, nor had he been so close to death.

Said that others don't believe it, since Zhang Xianzhong joined the uprising, apart from being a personal soldier in the hands of Wang Jiayin at first, he needed to fight in person, and later he formed an army and entered the 36th old battalion. Zhang Xianzhong has always been a general.

Zhang Xianzhong's life is a speculative life.Hit if you can beat, run if you can't beat, surrender if you can't run.

Anyway, there is nothing you can do, I am so powerful, la la la la la.

When you can fight, you rob money, food, and people; when you run, you leave all your burdens behind and take only treasures and elites; when you surrender, you must promote him, get rich, and marry a wife.

Zhang Xianzhong's fate is good, after so many years of fighting, no one has killed him except him.He killed people by tying others up and killing them. He never had to fight.Not even a scar on his body.

This time was the only time he lost completely, lost his pants, and was shot four times in the face.

Such an awesome person is actually terrified when facing death.He was terrified, terrified of death.

"Damn it, there must be traitors in the city of Chengdu." When a person is extremely afraid, he will have a sense of distrust for everything and everyone around him. No matter who it is, he will feel dangerous.

When the danger came, Zhang Xianzhong must find a way to get rid of it, and the Jiangkou blockade became Zhang Xianzhong's excuse to kill people.

"Wang Zhaoling, tell me, who leaked the news?" Zhang Xianzhong looked at Wang Zhaoling with blood red eyes.

Wang Zhaoling was terrified. He suggested and implemented the whole thing. He had a premonition that it would be difficult for him to get away this time.

"Long live, although I brought up this matter, there are a lot of people involved. The officers and soldiers came from southern Sichuan, and the main force is the subordinates of the navy and Yang Zhan. I think it should be related to the Chengdu government. Someone tipped off the news about it.”

In order to escape, Wang Zhaoling had no choice but to blame the Chengdu people.In fact, this reason is also right and wrong.The news was leaked by Chengdu, but the root cause was not the people of Chengdu, but the lax control of the news by the Western Army.

"I know that these people are a disaster. It's lucky that I treat Chengdu people so well." Zhang Xianzhong was angry. He was very conceited, and felt that building Chengdu as his capital was already a great gift from heaven.
