Chapter 728 War resumes
After leaving Beijian, Chongzhen went straight to Huangji Palace.
Because there is still a grand dynasty meeting today, there are two major issues that need to be decided at today's grand dynasty meeting, including that all arable land in the country must be paid in one piece, except for the military-rewarding fields.
In addition, after the prince was fifteen years old, he had to go to the Southern Supervisory School to study, and he had to write the imperial etiquette of the Emperor Ming Dynasty.
As for the royal family, I won’t consider it for the time being, because the past royal family has actually been deposed and the new royal family has not yet been formed, so there is no hurry.
When Chongzhen brought Zhu Cilang and Lu Jiude to Huangji Hall, all the civil and military officials had arrived. After the monarch and ministers were greeted, they directly entered the voting process.
The voting adopts a completely open and transparent process.
First, the loud voice general read out the voting matters, and then voted directly with his feet.
"The first thing to vote is that all the sun and the moon shine on it is Ming land. Except for the land of the Ming Dynasty, the rest will be charged five liters and three 5 spoons per mu according to the official land quota. No matter whether the royal family, royal relatives, officials, gentry, or martyrs and soldiers who have made contributions to the state, they all need to pay food together. Supporters are required to leave the list."
The shouts of the Han general were passed down from inside to outside the hall, and then from the third level cloud platform.
Zhang Shenyan and Ma Minglei took the lead in leaving the list, followed by Meng Zhaoxiang and three other cabinet masters, Fan Zhongjie and six ministers, as well as Chen Zilong and other officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
In a short while, most civil officials and military officials left the line and stood in the middle.
The remaining civil and military officials, such as Wu Jinxi, the Minister of Works, hesitated for a moment and then left the line and stood in the middle of the main hall or the third floor cloud tower.
The little eunuch under the cloud platform reported it all the way to Lu Jiude.
Lu Jiude excitedly reported to Chongzhen: "Long live the emperor, all civil and military officials and officials supported this proposal."
"Very good, passed unanimously." Chongzhen nodded happily and said, "Put this proposal into the imperial ancestor teachings."
Lu Jiude immediately turned around and faced the ministers, and announced loudly with a sharp voice: "On June 6, 2023, the Grand Dynasty Conference decided to pay the whole country's arable land and food, and passed it unanimously and entered the fourth volume of the imperial Ming Dynasty teachings. He followed his actions for many lifetimes. I respect this!"
The Hanlin official in charge of the record quickly picked up a brush and recorded it on the record.
"The second issue of the vote is that whenever the prince becomes an adult..."
...
At the same time in Xi'an.
"Father, Zhang Xianzhong sent an envoy to ask for help!" Li Shuangxi said.
Li Zicheng, a queen, dozens of concubines, never showed up.
So to now, Li Shuangxi's position as a rock has been stable.
"What?" Li Zicheng asked with a frown, "Has Ming Jun attacked Zhang Xianzhong?"
"Yes." Li Shuangxi said, "Zhang Xianzhong's letter said that more than two months ago, the Ming army divided the troops into two groups to launch a large-scale attack on Chengdu and Shunqing Prefecture."
"The troops are divided into two groups?" Li Zicheng asked again, "Which two groups are they?"
Li Shuangxi replied: "All the way is Qin Liangyu, the governor of Huguang in Nanming, led 100,000 troops from Huguang Town to the north from Ba County to the Zhanjiang River. He is now facing Zhang Xianzhong's third son Zhang Nengxiu and the fourth son Zhang Nengqi in Pengzhou in Shunqing Prefecture. The other way is to support and suppress the Sichuan general Li Xiangjun as the main general. He leads 100,000 troops from Sichuan Town to the north from Jiading Prefecture to the north from Jiading Prefecture. He is now facing Zhang Xianzhong's second son Zhang Dingguo near Xinjin, and is only a short distance from Chengdu City."
"So that's it." Li Zicheng nodded, "Old Zhang is panicking."
Li Shuangxi hesitated for a moment and said, "I heard that since I experienced the disaster of Yang Zhan, the eight kings have handed over all the government affairs to Prime Minister Wang Zhaolin, and he hid in the Shu Palace and lived a drunken life and a dream and died every day. Therefore, the Japanese army has long been different from the past, but the Ming army is now at its peak. It is reasonable that the Western army cannot defeat the Ming army."
Li Zicheng nodded lightly and said, "It just so happened that the general and the right military advisor have also returned to Xi'an. You should send someone to bring them and the big military advisor, and the left military advisor will come to the palace to discuss matters."
Li Shuangxi responded: "My son received the order."
...
After the dynasty meeting ended, Chongzhen came to Wuying Hall again.
Wuying Hall and the row of corridors in front of the hall have now become office rooms for the Office of the Internal Affairs and its subjects. Among them, Wuying Hall is equivalent to a combat hall and conference room.
In the center of Wuying Hall, a sand table in Sichuan has been built.
The sand table shows the combat situation of Qin Liangyu and Li Xiangjun.
Of course, Qin Liangyu and Li Xiangjun are just nominal coaches, and the real coaches are Lu Xiangtong, the commander of the 3rd Division, and Huaxia, the commander of the 5th Division.
The plan for Zhang Xianzhong's military use was decided before the New Year.
Shortly after the end of the Baliqiao War, Chongzhen formalized the Ming army. Most of the 270,000 new troops left the recruitment and converted into Beizhi soldiers. The remaining part still retained the recruitment status and converted into cavalry. However, it won’t take long to go to the soldiers in Korqin, Chahar, and Khalkha, and other towns, and defended Mongolia.
Then, five divisions were formed based on the troops in North Zhi, South Zhi, Huguang, Yunnan and Sichuan.
Usually, these five divisions only have profane divisions, which means there are only about 4,500 officers and non-commissioned officers.
Originally, the number of non-commissioned officers was insufficient to form five prostitutes, but fortunately, at the end of last year, the second phase of the Nanjian Supervisory Commission had graduated for three years, and 6,000 of them were assigned to the General Command.
With these 6,000 newly graduated non-commissioned officers, they finally set up four tutors.
Now, except for Wang Fuzhi's 4th Division, the other four stylists have been built.
Immediately afterwards, the 2nd Division followed Chongzhen to Japan. The 3rd Division and the 5th Division launched an encirclement and suppression of Zhang Xianzhong, while the 1st Division remained in the capital and was responsible for protecting the safety of the capital's Northern Zhi.
Of course, one thing must be explained.
The five towns can also perform combat missions independently.
The morale of these soldiers is very high, and they are very strong in seeking war.
For example, Nanzhi Zhentai, which is stationed in Xuzhou, can enter northern or western Henan under the command of Nanzhi Governor Du Yinxi, or even launch an offensive.
In this way, the two armies that besieged Zhang Xianzhong, in addition to the 3rd Division of Lu Xiangtong and the 5th Division of China, there were 100,000 Huguang Town Soldiers led by Qin Liangyu and 100,000 Sichuan East Local Soldiers led by Li Xiangjun.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Therefore, the Ming army encircled and suppressed Zhang Xianzhong had 240,000 people, instead of only two divisions.
It is precisely because Zhang Xianzhong felt the pressure and asked Li Zicheng for help with shame.
After seeing the sand table, Chongzhen was a little surprised: "The east and west armies fought hard but didn't fight very well?"
"It's really not going well." Xu Yingwei picked up the long wooden pole and pointed to the sand table and said, "On the east road, Zhang Xianzhong's adopted son Zhang Wenxiu and Zhang Nengqi each led 50,000 puppet Western troops, respectively, guarding Pengzhou City and Fenghuang Ridge, and were struck by each other. In particular, Zhang Nengqi built a solid camp on Fenghuang Ridge in advance, and then put the cannons in various dangerous places, which was extremely difficult to attack from the top."
"Phoenix Ridge?" Chongzhen laughed in silence. If he remembered correctly, it seemed that Zhang Xianzhong should have been shot to death by Yabran in Phoenix Ridge two years ago.
Chongzhen asked again: "Is Zhang Xianzhong in Phoenix Ridge?"
"Zhang Xianzhong is said to have escaped to Langzhong." The long wooden pole in Xu Yingwei pointed to Xinjin County on the south side of Chengdu. "Along with the West Road, the West Road is actually not dangerous to defend, but Zhang Dingguo, the chief general of the puppet Western Army who guarded the West Road, is much more difficult than Zhang Wenxiu and Zhang Nengqi. The local soldiers in eastern Sichuan led by Concubine Li to fight with him for nearly two months, without any progress."
"Where is Huaxia?" Chongzhen asked with a frown, "Is his 5th Division watching the show?"
Xu Yingwei said: "Huaxia led the 5th Division to the Chishui River (this Chishui is not the Chishui River) to the north, trying to sneak attack Chengdu from the flanks and cut off Zhang Dingguo's retreat, but was ambushed by the puppet Western army in Longquan Town, with nearly a thousand casualties!"
"So, China's detour was predicted by the puppet Western Army?" Chongzhen asked frowned.
"It must have been seen through." Xu Yingwei nodded, "Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a coincidence."
Chongzhen thought to himself that he was really worthy of being Li Dingguo, and the reputation of the Southern Ming God of War was really not revealed.
Unfortunately, Li Dingguo and Han Xin are the same type of people. They have a lot of military talents, but their political talents are extremely poor. Therefore, as long as Zhang Xianzhong does not die, it is impossible to succeed in surrendering Li Dingguo.
Xu Yingwei still made this suggestion: "Sage, I have carefully read the Tangbao of Concubine Li and the 5th Division. I found that Zhang Dingguo is very capable. It is a pity to stay in the puppet Western Army. It is better to rebel? Such a puppet Western Army can be pacified, and the Ming Dynasty can also have one more powerful general. It is the best of both worlds."
"Where is the Tang Daily?" Chongzhen suddenly felt a little curious.
Let’s see what tricks Li Dingguo has played in Xinjin County?
Xu Yingwei took a move, and a student from the second phase of the Nanjian who had just been assigned to him immediately brought him a report.
While reading the Tang newspaper, Chongzhen asked casually: "I just graduated this year? What's my name?"
The second period student was so excited that his breath began to become rapid and replied: "The master, the student's name is Mao Chengdou."
"Mao Chengdou?" Chongzhen paused slightly, and then he returned to his original state. He turned out to be Mao Wenlong's son.
Chongzhen remembered that Mao Chengdou was also considered a man. After the Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, Mao Wenlong's old subordinates were like Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi. He recommended Mao Chengdou to become an official many times, but they were all rejected. Mao Chengdou even changed his name to Mao Yu, hiding in the mountains and living in seclusion, using this to show his determination to never be a clean dynasty.
On the contrary, Yuan Chonghuan's son Yuan Wenbi joined the Eight Banners Han Army.
Chongzhen now encouraged him: "Do it well, don't lose your father's reputation."
But that's it. Although Mao Wenlong died unjustly, he also had a way to die.
Therefore, it is impossible to give Mao Chengdou Enyin. If Mao Chengdou wants to make a name for himself, he can only rely on his own ability to fight to the battlefield with one sword and one shot.
What Chongzhen is more concerned about now is Li Dingguo.
Let’s see, how much is the legendary Nanming war god?
The world line of this world has been changed beyond recognition by him, and has even stepped from the age of cold weapons to the age of firearms. Can Li Dingguo still have the opportunity to show his military talent?
