Chongzhen Undergraduates

As for the phalanx at the back, it is the real military strength of Ming Dynasty, cavalry and artillery.

The phalanx walked for a full two hours before the 20 troops passed through the Yongding Gate.The people in the capital are all crazy, saying that there are millions of elite soldiers from the Ming Dynasty defending the capital, and they are no longer afraid of foreign invasion.

……

Da Yuer knelt on the steps outside Kunning Palace, she didn't have any thoughts now.

The glimmer of expectation in her heart was thrown into the country of Java during the process of changing her status.This is a woman who likes to control, but at the same time desires to cling to the strong.

There is no contradiction between the two. When she sees a strong man, she will unconsciously lean forward. When she encounters a dog, she will only use it ruthlessly.Huang Taiji is a strong man, Dorgon is an overlord, and Hong Chengchou can only be regarded as a licking dog.

As for Zhu Youjian, Da Yuer didn't have any confidence in her heart, because her identity was a humiliating "Concubine Zhuang", only a little higher than Zhaoyi.

Da Yuer didn't know whether Zhu Youjian would like her, because Zuo Maodi had made it very clear before that she was only kept to give Horqin's face.

A figure slowly walked in front of Da Yuer, but Da Yuer didn't dare to look up, she was afraid that if she offended this person, her and her son's lives would be lost.

"Look up." A magnetic male voice said.

Da Yuer's neck was stuck, her eyes were fixed on the corner of the wall, her face full of resentment.It seemed that they were waiting for the next humiliation.

Zhu Youjian looked over and found that this woman was really well maintained. It was this attitude, a typical strong horse.Since it is a strong horse that has been successively conquered by others, the Han people cannot conquer it without needing it.

Zhu Youjian threw off his outer robe, and grabbed Da Yu'er.The woman still wanted to fight, but unexpectedly Zhu Youjian didn't fight her at all, instead he locked her hands, clasped her hands, and then carried the woman to the side room.

This is the Kunning Palace, where the queen lives. Zhu Youjian will not get entangled with other women in the room where Xiong Lijing is going to live.

Da Yuer wanted to resist, but she had no strength, and she regretted it.In the gentle and refined culture of the Han people she had always admired, how could there suddenly appear a freak who was more barbaric than the Jurchens.

There is no need to close the door, and the woman's clothes are already hanging on her body in strips, without covering her body.A woman of this age will not shed tears on this matter, she only has good and bad feelings.

Zhu Youjian didn't go through the main entrance, but still pinned Da Yu'er's hands behind his back and aimed at the back door.

There was no scream in the room that he wanted, but only humming.Zhu Youjian was so angry that he became even crazier.

"I want you to sing." Zhu Youjian didn't know why he had such a big temper, he said in a commanding tone.

"You can do whatever you want." Da Yuer went all out today.

"Conquered by you just like that. Sing."

Zhu Youjian's high-pitched singing voice didn't make Da Yuer feel anything at first, anyway, this strange little tune is not too obscene, so just sing it.

However, after singing a few lines of conquest, Da Yuer finally realized the implication in the lyrics. Her shame and indignation touched the senses of her body, and the pleasure of being conquered that was hidden in the deepest part of her heart welled up.

Da Yuer suddenly remembered some private information about Zhu Youjian passed from Nanjing before, and she unconsciously surrendered.

Chapter 542: Xia Guoxiang sent a letter to Guguan

Xi'an, Fengtian Hall of the Puppet Great Zhou Dynasty.

Zhu Youjian was busy with the Northern Expedition to regain the capital, but Wu Sangui in Shaanxi felt as uncomfortable as a cat scratching.He really wanted to take the opportunity to lead troops out of Tongguan, preferably all the way to the city of Nanjing.But Wu Sangui counted and counted, and he didn't have enough troops, especially because he was afraid that the Ming army in Hanzhong would wait for him to go out and follow his back.

In the history of Chinese warfare, Guanzhong and Shuzhong have always been almost tied together.Regardless of whether it started with Qin's unification of the six kingdoms, or the many grand strategies that followed, those who won the Guanzhong followed by Shuzhong, and finally plotted for the world, this is almost a steady strategic pace.

Wu Sangui also really wanted to take Shuzhong into his hands, but Zhu Youjian had always deployed heavy troops in Hanzhong. Even though he had raised them for nothing for four years, the 20 Ming troops were always in the hands of Zeng Ying to guard the pass in southern Shaanxi.

Many people say that there are still two great warlords left in the Great Tomorrow, namely Wu Sangui and Zeng Ying.Just because of this sentence, Wu Sangui personally wrote a letter to Zeng Ying, talking about the benefits of sharing the world equally, but Zeng Ying didn't even reply to him.

It's normal that Zeng Ying didn't reply him, because Wu Sangui didn't study the new Ming military system at all.Not to mention that Zeng Ying was able to take away so many troops, even a regiment, even the regiment leader couldn't take it away.

The current power to appoint and dismiss officers in the Ming army is not in the hands of the generals at all, and all military power is returned to the Ministry of War, not to mention that there is also a separate department for the allocation of military pay and supplies.

Only too much decentralized military power can lead to the emergence of warlords, and highly centralized military power cannot produce warlords.Wu Sangui actually looked at the new Ming army with old thoughts.

"I am the Son of Heaven of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I kindly invited him to hold a grand event, but he doesn't give me face like this. I really don't know what to do."

Wu Sangui took advantage of his mouth, but he was thinking about what to do in his heart. Even if Zeng Ying didn't follow him to make troubles, Wu Sangui couldn't just watch Zhu Youjian recover the capital so smoothly.

Wu Sangui is a person with erratic eyes, his brain is always scheming, and he is especially good at leveraging his strengths and using other people's crises to strengthen himself.

This kind of natural ability allowed Wu Sangui to go smoothly and take advantage of everything.

"Report to the emperor: The puppet Ming Dynasty transferred most of its troops to Beizhili, and our army just came out of Tongguan to steal their back route and seize the Ming army's horse farm in the Central Plains. No matter how bad it is, we can attack Jianghan and obtain Jianghan's money and food. "Wang Duo stood up and spoke first.

In fact, Wang Duo didn't have much ability, except for a little charisma, he was far behind Hou Fangyu in terms of ability.Any fool could see what he said.

He really thought that there would be no one left in the Ming Dynasty. Even if Zeng Ying didn't move, would the Fifteenth Army of the Ming Army stationed in Henan be vegetarians?The commander of the [-]th Army is also Deng Zhirong, the direct descendant of Zhu Youjian's direct descendant, how could he be so easy to deal with.

"Master Hou, what do you think?" Wu Sangui stared at Hou Fangyu and asked.

"My Majesty, I thought we could come out of Tongguan to test the strength of the Ming army. Tongguan is far away from the garrison of the [-]th Army, and the Ming army is weak. If we can take advantage of the Ming army in Hangu Pass, we can continue to expand the results. Otherwise , our army should strengthen the defense of Tonggeguan as soon as possible, and seek other plans."

Hou Fangyu's words made Wu Sangui's face sink. Although he extremely disliked hearing these remarks, he had to admit that what Hou Fangyu said was correct.

Shaanxi is a poor place, and Guanzhong alone cannot support a large army. What's more, after losing the convenience of trade, Shaanxi can't get much money at all.

This Guanzhong sounds like a fertile field, but the best thing that grows in the field is wheat, which only produces two to three hundred catties per mu, and can only grow one season a year.

Since Wu Sangui became the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he couldn't even guarantee a meal of rice every day.It is said that even the ordinary soldiers of the Ming army outside the Wuguan pass eat better than him, and they still eat rice from Champa.

The rice he ate for Wu Sangui had to go from Yansui to Yulin to exchange it with the old men in Shanxi, which was a lot of work.

Recently, the Ming army recovered Shanxi, and it was even more difficult to get this rice. Wu Sangui was useless even thinking about it, but Jianghan, where the rice was produced, was not far from Wuguan Pass.

But Hou Fangyu was right, if they couldn't even defeat the Ming army at Hangu Pass, then Wu Sangui wouldn't even be able to keep the pass.He had no choice but to flee to the Western Regions. The Ming army attacked Guanzhong with the power of the whole country, and Wu Sangui had no choice but to flee to the Western Regions.

"I want to send troops to attack Hangu Pass, who of you is willing to go?" Wu Sangui decided to listen to Hou Fangyu.

"I am willing to go." A young general stood up immediately, looking eager.

Wu Sangui glanced at it. The kid who was speaking in the audience was called Xia Guoxiang. He was a good young man with both civil and military skills, and he was especially good at planning.But Wu Sangui could see clearly what this kid was thinking, he had his eyes on Wu Sangui's own daughter.

This is deliberately to show it in front of the future father-in-law.

Wu Sangui had three daughters, and Xia Guoxiang took a fancy to his eldest daughter, who had already grown up.

"Forget it, I will approve your request, and the soldiers will send letters to Gu immediately." Wu Sangui thought for a while, and planned to betroth his daughter to Xia Guoxiang.The so-called reluctance to let children catch wolves, to fight against the Ming army with a large number of young generals, it is necessary to boldly use young generals.

Zeng Ying, Deng Zhirong, etc. around Wu Sangui can be said to be all young generals of the Ming Dynasty.And under Wu Sangui's command, Xia Guoxiang, Hu Guozhu, etc. are also leaders of the younger generation.

Coupled with Wu Sangui's vigorous innovation in weapons, the two sides can be described as evenly matched.

Wu Sangui's military order had just been issued, and Deng Zhirong, who was in Luoyang, received the news on the third day.After all, pigeons are not slow to fly.

The so-called Hangu Pass is the west side of Sanmenxia, ​​which is a pass gate that is stuck in the pass, and Tongguan is the gate of the Kahean Pass.Once the Guanzhong army opens Hangu, it will flatten the river.

In the Ming and Zhou dynasties, the two armies each stationed their own troops at the two passes, and the distance between the two passes was two days.
