Recommend this book, the new work of "Silijian", by the author of Han'er's not slavery, is a new work of "Si Lijian", a theme of the late Ming Dynasty, and the beginning of the eunuch party.

……………………

The New Army was the only hope that the Qing Dynasty had lost Jiangnan. When Wu Sangui launched a rebellion and the New Army won the battle, it renewed its life for the Qing Dynasty, but that was just a temporary breath.

However, the biggest opponent of the Qing court was not Wu Sangui, nor the Yongli court that Wu Sangui had recruited as a supporter, but Chen Wen and his Jiangsu and Zhejiang Ming Army Group. They regained the fertile land in Jiangnan, they completely broke the myth of the Eight Banners Army's invincibility, and they even forced the Qing Dynasty to the brink of the abyss.

At this moment, the Qing army was defeated in Cangzhou. If we only look at the land area, it is still a behemoth that is no less than the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Ming Army Group.

However, the national strength is never calculated in this way, population, economic output, grain output, industrial output value, and even the advantages and disadvantages of the system.

Even if we don't mention these, the decisive battle cannot stop the continued progress of the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the Mongolian tribes will quickly become centrifuged. The Aisin Jueluo family is not a golden family, and the so-called appeal is nothing more than the conquest of Mongolia in the southern part of the Eight Banners Army in the late Ming Dynasty. Once the hands that strangled the Mongolians' necks were gone, they would stand up without hesitation and break up with them.

Without Mongolia, the rest are nothing more than Liaodong, North Korea, Zhili, Shaanxi and Shanxi. Today, when Shanhaiguan is cut off, Liaodong and North Korea have long been an enclave. Even Shanxi and Shaanxi are so ruined that it is not enough to serve as the basis for a dynasty facing the pressure of tens of thousands of troops.

What's more, this alien colonial dynasty had lost its last army. From the moment the central army collapsed in artillery fire, the Qing Dynasty no longer existed. What was left was nothing more than a broken body and a group of walking corpses with only one or two breaths left.

With the joint efforts of the Young Guard Division and the Third Division of the Central Army, the Wuwei Central Army collapsed first, and the defeated troops attacked the approaching Guard Army and the Wuwei Left Army. Under the full-line offensive of the Northern Expedition Army, Prince Heshuoyu Doni and Prince Heshuoxian Fushou led the cavalry to abandon the army and fled, and the Prince of Dorokexi County died in battle. The right wing no longer exists, the central army completely collapses, and the left wing's imperial guards were unable to support them. The entire army was wiped out by the encirclement of the Northern Expedition Army. In recent years, Prince Heshuo Zheng, the first general of the royal family, was defeated and committed suicide.

From the battlefield northward, on the ground within a radius of dozens of miles, all the Northern Expedition Army were chasing the Qing army. The soldiers were chasing the battlefield in front, and the fire soldiers were cleaning the battlefield in the back. Cangzhou went down without fighting, but Shunzhi ran away, leaving Chen Wen empty-handed.

"According to the descriptions of those eunuchs, the slave chief fled with the imperial guards when the army of the barbarian army collapsed."

"Respond so quickly."

He sneered, but Chen Wen was not in a hurry. Shunzhi was a huge figure and would always show his travels. And even if he could really escape to Mongolia that Chen Wen could not reach for the time being, the Mongolians would definitely send him, even if the corpse was impossible to escape.

According to the scheduled plan, the Danyang Division, as a reserve team, will cooperate with the cavalry to undertake the task of pursuing the first pursuit. After hard battles, the other divisions will take a break and wait for the next day to advance northward, and strive to complete the recovery of the border walls under Zhili before the New Year of the 14th year of Yongli.

This year's plan is now, and next year, the Han area south of the Great Wall and Liaodong, and North Korea will be fully acquired. Next, the throne ceremony can be justified and implemented.

"Your Highness, there is another thing. The personal eunuch of the Nu Ke Fulin confessed that it was the traitor Liu Cheng and Nu Ke had had a force conflict. Liu Cheng went to take over the defeated military power shortly after the collapse of the Wuwei Right Army. The remnants had disappeared from the battlefield and disappeared from now on."

The pursuit continued, and the Qing army, who was a little unavoidable, chose to fight to the end, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty of searching. Chen Wen had heard about Liu Cheng and looked at the sand table on the podium, but couldn't help but shake his head.

"If profit is united, profit will be divided. The slave chief Fulin used the traitor's understanding of our army, and the traitor used the captive court to achieve the increase of power. Now that the building has been overturned, and the slave chief has no trust in the Han people, it is inevitable that he will break up. As for Liu Cheng, if he fled alone, it will take some years to search him out; but since he is reluctant to give up power and always wants to manipulate power, his death will not last long."

……………………

Leaving the Imperial Camp, Liu Cheng arrived at the place where the defeated soldiers were restrained under the banner of commanding the defeated soldiers to assist the right-wing battle. The five cavalry towns had already gone to the mantis arm to chariots with Ebilong. During this period, Murima and Li Zhifang had restrained more than 3,000 defeated soldiers and were already divided into various towns. The structure was scattered, and the village was naturally noisy, each with a pattern.

The General Secretary Murima and Chief of Staff Li Zhifang are still doing their best to get the defeated troops back to build. The troops that were killed in generals or suffered excessive losses were reorganized, which is a waste of effort.

When Liu Cheng arrived, the work was far from over, but he did not come to speed up the process. At least he never thought about doing this in this place.

"Mr. Nala was unfortunate. The emperor ordered my husband to act as the president of the Wuwei Right Army. Now the right wing has collapsed, and the central army has the help of the Guards. Our troops are broken. We should turn to the left wing to assist Prince Zheng in defeating the Zhejiang bandits in front of us."

The title of the prince was not favored by Liu Cheng, and he had never claimed to himself like this, because this title was based on the princess Kong Sizhen, not as he was the subject. However, when he arrived this time, the title that he did not like could be regarded as his Liu Cheng was a member of the Aisin Jueluo family. With different identities, the weight of his speech was naturally incomparable.

When Liu Cheng's order was issued, Li Zhifang, whom he promoted, agreed with the chief of staff, and the following leaders also expressed their recognition and even desire for this order.

This is the main attack direction of the Northern Expedition Army. The battle just now was like a destruction. Even the cavalry was trapped in. Although the Northern Expedition Army did not continue to advance in the entire direction, the reason why a gentleman did not stand under a dangerous wall is still correct. As for moving to the left, success or failure is not the first priority, and the first thing is to leave this dangerous place.

Liu Cheng falsely passed the imperial edict, which was exactly what the generals thought. Unexpectedly, before the generals followed the order, Murima continued to object to Liu Cheng's remarks: "The prince-in-law, there is no conclusion on whether President Nara's life or death. Besides, the prince-in-law is confident, and the last general dares to ask where the imperial edict is?"

Murima was the co-organizer, but at the same time, it was also the nail buried in the right army of the Qing court when Liu Cheng was president, which was used to restrain Liu Cheng. All this was based on the distrust of the Manchu nobles in the system of the Han people, and Liu Cheng was just a representative. Liu Cheng knew very well about this, but he had never pointed it out, and there was still a minimum face between them. However, at this point, the situation was extremely urgent, and the anger in his heart immediately burned, and all the previous things were poured on the anger like boiling oil.

"The emperor gave this prince Shang Fang sword, with golden words and jade words. Seeing this sword is like seeing you."

Shangfangjian's idea originated from the theory that the emperor had taken over the lives and deaths of officials and the people of the world proposed by the Legalists. However, China is vast and the emperor cannot appear thousands of miles away at any time. This is why there is a compromise phenomenon of using gifts to represent some of the imperial power, and Shangfangjian appeared.

Liu Cheng raised Shunzhi's sword and the generals bowed to the ground one after another. Only Murima seemed a little hesitant, and the reason for his hesitation could be said to be justified.

"This dynasty has never said that Shangfang Jian is."

The Qing Dynasty was the peak of monarchy, and the Qing court also had its own system. The Han Dynasty and even the Shangfang Sword used by the Yuan Dynasty did not exist in the Qing Dynasty. There was no gift for dealing with emergencies. For example, during the Qianlong period, Ebilong's sword was granted to Qianlong's Grand Secretary Fu Heng to kill the grandson of Ebilong who defeated Jinshan. However, it was only to kill specific people, and there was no right to break the old fashioned Fang Sword.

When Murima said that he was not sure. The Qing Dynasty was established too short and the tradition had not yet been completely formed. It was not impossible for Shunzhi to give Liu Cheng a sudden idea of ​​using Shangfang Sword to cut off military opportunities. However, Liu Cheng's identity as a Han Chinese, and after he took the position of the Union of the Union, he had already formed a restraint and defense against Liu Cheng. Even if he was not sure, testing was always inevitable.

Under the banner, the General Secretary and the old president who had been ordered by the emperor stood in confrontation. The generals fell to the ground and were completely at a loss. Seeing this, Li Zhifang quickly stood up and persuaded Murima to take power in urgent matters. Unexpectedly, before Li Zhifang finished speaking, Liu Cheng silently put down the Shangfang sword, but suddenly attacked and slashed with a sword.

The armor on his body seemed to be paper, and a huge hole was made on his abdomen. He felt that the intestines that were wrapped in it were like a torrent that broke through the dike. It was useless to intercept with both hands.

Murima raised her head in disbelief, whether she was surprised by Liu Cheng's martial arts skills or shocked by the fact that he was at this moment, no one could know about this. Even Murima himself, after looking up, fell to the ground, letting his colorful intestines guide blood all over the ground.

Liu Cheng deliberately cut off at halfway, in order to make Murima, a bannerman who is very restrained, suffers in pain for a moment to vent his hatred.

At this moment, the man held up his bloody sword and shouted loudly to the generals: "The situation of the war changes rapidly, and every moment will determine the outcome. The General Secretary Murima missed the military opportunity. Is this prince who killed him on behalf of the emperor? Do you still have any objections?"

"The last one, the last one dare not, the last one obeys President Liu's orders."

Liu Cheng's thunderous methods shocked everyone present, and even Li Zhifang looked unbelievable when he looked at him again. However, with the example of Murima, no one dared to show any objection to Liu Cheng's orders. The defeated soldiers left here as quickly as possible and headed towards Cangzhou City behind.

The reason why we went to Cangzhou first instead of going straight to the left wing is to use Liu Cheng's statement that the defeated army was in chaos and infantry to assist the army, which would easily become a burden to the imperial guards. It would be better to change into a war horse, tie branches on the horse's tail, and roll smoke and dust, giving the Northern Expedition Army the illusion of a arrival of Qing army reinforcements.

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is a basic military textbook for the senior Qing army. This statement may have an exaggeration, but the story of Zhang Fei killing the Dangyang Bridge is well known to everyone. The role of the smoke and dust behind Zhang Fei plays is also known to the past generals.

This statement is actually very lucky, but the evacuation from the dangerous land of the right wing was the consensus of these defeated generals. Liu Cheng's proposal just satisfies their desires. There are spare horses and cattle and carriages in Cangzhou City, and they can do more things with mobility. Whether it is to assist in the war or escape, the generals look at Liu Cheng again, and they are already the living Bodhisattva who saves the suffering, except for the bloody smell, which makes them a bit destructive.

The large group of people rushed to Cangzhou. When they arrived in a hurry, the central army had already declared collapse in artillery fire. Liu Cheng temporarily changed his order. Seeing that the overall defeat of the Qing army was doomed, the generals and the defeated soldiers were thinking about the families of Tianjin Acropolis. Under the guidance of Liu Cheng, they became the first new army to escape from the battlefield, even earlier than Shunzhi.

If you can make the current quick decision, Liu Cheng had already made plans as early as when Shunzhi seized the military power of the Wuwei Right Army and was promoted and secretly surrendered to the chief of staff of the Imperial Camp. Chen Wen would not let him go, and the Qing court could not believe him, and there was also the possibility of abandoning him like a piece of shoes afterwards. In this case, both Qing and Chen Wen were injured, especially if Ebilong had to be killed on the battlefield, so that he could have the strength and space to develop his own power.

Since becoming the chief of staff of the Imperial Camp, Liu Cheng has worked hard to plan this matter. However, the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is stronger, and he can only think about it for himself on the basis of helping the Qing court defeat the Northern Expedition Army. However, in today's battle, his efforts were nothing in front of Chen Wen, and the right army of Wuwei suffered a devastating blow, which really made him lose his glasses.

Shunzhi's meanness and mercy strengthened Liu Cheng's mind, but when he saw that the Qing army had a very small chance of victory, he left alone angrily. He trained the right army of Wuwei, and only a few months after the military power was left. Ebilong died. In addition, Shunzhi's sword could be used as an order when it first started. Next, the prestige in the army, and Chen Wen would not let the intimidation of the bannermen, could always rule the remaining troops under his command.

The Qing army was defeated, and Liu Cheng rolled up a round of war horses, carriages and some food and grass from Cangzhou, and his weapons left. The family members of the Wuwei Right Army were all in Tianjin Acropolis. Their first thing was to return to Tianjin. Although it was burdensome to bring their families, what Liu Cheng needed more now was to gather people's hearts and take their families to escape to other places.

Next, the Qing army was defeated and fled. In the rhythm of the Northern Expedition Army's pursuit, Liu Cheng had already calculated the route, and had a mind-set, and the war horses and carriages also provided considerable capacity and speed. He fled back to Tianjin Acropolis a few days later without any danger.

Not only did they escape back before, they all fled with cavalry. The advancement of the Northern Expedition Army must maintain a rhythm, and some of the Qing army did escape from the pursuit range for the time being. However, there were only the families of the Wuwei Right Army in Tianjin Acropolis. The Qing army who arrived earlier plundered a group of ships and fled to the capital. By the time Liu Cheng arrived with the remaining troops, there was no ship at the mouth of the Sancha River, and even fishing boats were gone.

"President, what should we do next?"

The Northern Expedition Army may chase after him at any time, and Chen Wen would not let go of the bannermen. This was Liu Cheng brainwashed many times on the road. The crying sounds in the city were shocking for the soldiers of the Wuwei Right Army who died in battle, but there was no lack of the fear and helplessness of the families of the defeated soldiers for the future.

Li Zhifang was promoted by Liu Cheng. He has done his best over the years. This time, everything is obeying the command and fully assisting Liu Cheng in kneading the defeated soldiers into one. When he asked this question, Liu Cheng must also express his position to this confidant, and the next thing will be calculated.

"Yeyuan, the current situation is that to the east is the sea, and to the enemy Shanhaiguan. The Mongolian Tatars to the north are unreliable, and to the south is the territory of Zhejiang bandits. There is only a way to live in the west."

To the west of Tianjin Wei is Baoding Prefecture, and to the west of Baoding Prefecture is Zhending Prefecture. This is not enough. Liu Cheng's plan is to continue to go west, cross Shanxi, go Shaanxi, and retake Wu Sangui's old path, and lead Mongolia in southern Moxi into Yumen Pass. In the current situation, once the Qing court collapsed, Mongolia in western Moxi would have no object to show favor, and he would no longer die in the siege as frustrated as Wu Sangui.

This is not the last way to live. As long as you let go of everything and hide in seclusion, there is still a great hope for life. For example, there are so many vassal kings in the Ming Dynasty, among which there are "the country is lost and there is no trace". For example, Yang Qilong, who launched the anti-Qing uprising, was able to hide for so many years, and it is even said that the person who was caught in the end was not the real person. The war was in chaos, whether it was large in the city or small in the wild, as long as you were careful, you would always have a chance to survive.

However, just as Chen Wen said, Liu Cheng could not give up his power. Everything he did so far was to obtain greater power. Even today, the first thing he thought of was to give it a try, rather than retreat quietly.

After Liu Cheng said that, Li Zhifang also expressed his willingness to continue to serve. In this regard, after winning over Liu Cheng, he could not help but describe his future prospects.

"Backing with the Desert West Mongolia, there is always a way to live. Chen Wen destroyed the Qing Dynasty and collected the Han land was one thing. More importantly, it was definitely to ascend the throne and end the separatist areas in the southwest. It would take him too much time. Our sky is high and the emperor is far away, so it is better than staying here and waiting to die."

"What the President said is very true, and the officials must do their best to repay the President's kindness."

After the answer, Liu Cheng and Li Zhifang also acted separately. The transfer of family members of the remnants of the Wuwei Right Army was of great importance. Liu Cheng also planned to take away a group of experienced officials and craftsmen from the Tianjin Factory, so that he would not start over from the northwest.

In terms of officials, Zhang Daocheng, Hao Zongfu and his party from Tianjin Factory, and Zhu Zhixi and others in the capital, Liu Cheng also sent his confidants to rescue him. Of course, if possible, Kong Sizhen would also bring him out. Not to mention anything else, Guoan, the Henan Admiral Line, is still struggling there. Although Liu Cheng hates this slut, if he can use this to win over an army of not a bandit, it would not be unbearable for some time.

The confidant has been sent out, and saving people is one thing. Since he killed Murima, Liu Cheng, who has endured humiliation for many years, has become fascinated by this feeling of arousing revenge. Naturally, he also needs to use another person to commemorate his efforts over the years.

"I'm still alive, I didn't expect you to be today."

Liu Cheng led the army alone, and Ning Wan and I suppressed the military weapons. This was to uphold the collective will of the Manchu nobles, but Liu Cheng deeply hated Ning Wan and me. Since he escaped here, he captured him without hesitation.

"Mr., you should know that those things are not my true intentions. After all, we are all Han people. When the master speaks, how dare I not listen..."

When escorted outside the gate of the Tianjin factory, the craftsmen had been escorted out by Liu Cheng's men to watch. One rope was tied to Ning Wan's neck, wrists and ankles, and five agile war horses were connected on the other side. How to kill this political enemy is obvious.

"If you hadn't deliberately suppressed the military equipment of the Right Army of Wuwei, how could the court defeat Cangzhou? Today, I will avenge the brothers of Wuwei's Right Army who died in Cangzhou. Come and take care of me!"

Amid Liu Cheng's angry shout, the soldiers who were full of hatred towards Ning Wan also pulled the horses and moved forward slowly. The rope lay quietly on the ground, and as the horses were on the air, they flew straight, and then even Ning Wan rose into the air like a rope. From the prince-in-law, to the master of Liu, to grandpa, and ancestors, to the end, but when they saw that they were powerless to turn the world back, they shouted in the words of the dog thief, and quickly melted into pain as the rope pulled the rope.

The war horse kept moving forward, Ning Wan, my neck, arms and legs seemed to be gradually stretched. However, even monkey rubber bands always had their limits, not to mention Ning Wan, a 65-year-old old man. When a stinging sound sounded, his head, his arms and one left leg splattered blood, and the heart-wrenching screams stopped, leaving only one right leg dragging the incomplete body and rubbing a blood-written trace on the ground.

The five horses dismembered Ning Wan, and Liu Cheng felt very happy. He could not catch the nobles of Manchus here, and because of his identity, he could only use Ning Wan, an old traitor, to vent his anger.

When the matter of the Tianjin factory was handled, Liu Cheng took Zhang Daocheng, Hao Zongfu and others back to Tianjin Acropolis to meet with Li Zhifang, Li Zhifang's work was also completed. The family transferred with the army was placed in an old camp, managed by Liu Cheng's confidants, and the other generals acted as vanguards and defenders to protect the army.

This was the method that Liu Cheng learned when he moved from Nantang Camp from Tiantai Mountain to Jinhua Prefecture with Chen Wenshi. If his family and soldiers were not together, the soldiers would not have taken their own family and turned into a mess of sand when they were attacked. Now that he has been prepared, although it is already afternoon, he dare not stay for one more day, for fear of being caught up by the Northern Expedition Army.

"According to the original plan, the second and third towns are the forefronts of the army, the first and the eight banners are in charge of the old camp with our commander, and the fourth and fifth towns are the rear guards. Go out of the city one by one, don't mess up the rules."

Among the eight banners in the city of Tianjin, generals and generals at all levels were here to wait for Liu Cheng's orders. In addition to the remaining soldiers of the Wuwei Right Army, hundreds of people were willing to transfer with Liu Cheng under the leadership of the Han army flag Meilezhangjing Sun Sick, who had already fled back to the capital.

Sun Sick is not the same party, but Liu Cheng is willing to accept this army. It is easier to do things in the northwest. When we reach the northwest, one more army can make our lives better. This is also a matter of course.

During this time, Liu Cheng ordered the generals to take the order and go. However, the president of the fifth town had a little trembling in his eyes, but Liu Cheng immediately saw it.

"Jin Tongdai, just say something."

Liu Cheng was as gentle as possible, but Kim Jung-qi looked scared, then shouted loudly, then drew his sword and came to kill him.

The sudden change occurred, but with Liu Cheng's martial arts, a pariah who was still Bangzi a few years ago could not do anything to him. However, Kim Jong-qi moved, and the other four leaders also took action.

In the hall of the yamen, several senior officers fought in a group. Liu Cheng held Shunzhi's sword and fought with five leaders with one person. Although he could not defeat four hands with two fists, he was constantly injured while moving, but every time he attacked with all his strength, he could take away the life of a rebel without any disadvantage.

Liu Cheng's martial arts skills were so high that Li Zhifang heard Zhu Zhixi mention, and Zhu Zhixi also learned from Zou Zhuoming, who brought Liu Cheng out of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. When Liu Cheng was attacked by Ni Liangxu, he was not only unscathed, but also killed him within a few moves, which was very comparable to that of an extraordinary person. But what he didn't expect was that Liu Cheng's martial arts seemed to have not only not regressed in the slightest, but instead made much progress, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

Three people were killed in a row, and the remaining first and third towns, the hand holding the knife also trembled a little. In contrast, although Liu Cheng was injured, he was just a little wounded. The outcome was decided, and Sun Sike stood up without hesitation, drew his sword and cooperated with Liu Cheng to kill the two leaders. But at this moment, with a gunshot, the battle situation took a sharp turn. Liu Cheng turned his head and looked at everything that was happening in front of him in disbelief.

"Yeyuan, it turns out you are the mastermind!"

The flintlock pistol in Li Zhifang's right hand was given to him by Liu Cheng. Before the smoke at the muzzle had dissipated, Sun Sike had already fallen into a pool of blood. At this time, Li Zhifang had a flintlock pistol in his left hand, which Liu Cheng didn't know at all. At this moment, he was aiming at Liu Cheng not far away.

"Yes, going west is a dead end, but as long as you, a traitor from the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, as a letter of resignation, His Highness the King of Qi, the supervisor of the State, will definitely be satisfied with this gift."
To be continued...
