Chapter 534 The Royal Family
There is a miscellaneous secret in a hundred secrets.
Zhu Cilang now understands the meaning of this sentence. He has arranged enough troops in Xicheng and Beicheng. No matter where the people in the city are causing trouble, we can suppress them. But today there are two things that Zhu Cilang did not expect.
One thing is naturally the special soldiers under Ajig. When those people launched an attack, the soldiers under Li Yunbao were all stunned, so they gave them a certain opportunity and did not rush up as soon as possible.
The second thing that was unexpected was that Azig temporarily changed the direction of retreat.
After coming out of the capital, it is theoretically possible to retreat from all directions, but most people think that they will retreat directly to the north, but they do not expect that they will retreat northwest.
The same way as Hauge.
Zhu Cixuan has made up his mind that after the battle in Beijing, we must expand our cavalry.
If there were not enough cavalry, there would be no way to fight these people.
They temporarily change the combat goals and fight the war into chaos, so we will become very passive. Although we know the direction of their retreat, it is really difficult to pursue it with our cavalry.
Although there are tens of thousands of cavalry around the capital, the difference between the Ming cavalry and the Qing cavalry is still very big. Strictly speaking, the Ming cavalry is considered heavy cavalry, and the guns and ammunition on the body are very heavy, and some of them must be tied up on horseback.
But the Qing cavalry was different. Apart from the knives and bows in their hands, they did not have any weight-bearing items, so when they were running, they were able to throw the Ming cavalry a few laps.
The second is the skills of both sides. The Qing cavalry has been trained for many years and is the most elite cavalry in the world. The Ming cavalry has only been fully engaged in a few months of training.
If we compare the combat power, the power of our guns will definitely be more than ten times stronger than the opponent, but if we are to marching like this, we may be far from them.
Another issue is the supply issue. Although we can also learn from the Qing cavalry to replenish on-site, we have never trained before, so they still believe in perfect logistics.
If you want to be within a hundred miles of the capital, there will naturally be no problem at all, but if you leave more than three hundred miles, their supplies will have problems, especially firearms and ammunition. There is no way to complete the supply in various places, so you can only wait for the supply carriage behind.
"Let the cavalry chase me, even if they cannot be solved for the time being, it will not be too cheap. These people can chase as much as they can. In addition, they will also order the logistics department to find a group of elite soldiers and fierce generals to follow the cavalry."
Zhu Cilang was also very angry. He could not calculate everything in place these days, which was also a mistake in the Ming Dynasty.
The soldiers under his command agreed and hurriedly went down and ordered more than 20,000 cavalrymen, and rushed towards the northwest direction quickly. Although there were still tens of thousands of horses galloping, in terms of speed, our side was already much slower.
In addition to these bad things, there are still many happy things on the battlefield. For example, the rest of the Qing Dynasty surrendered very honestly, and our army has already completed its entire team and is about to start entering the capital.
Finally back.
Not only Zhu Cixuan thought so in his heart, but many of his subordinates, they rushed out of the capital under the occupation of Li Zicheng. Although they also thought they could fight back one day, they never thought that this time would be so fast.
"Look, I'm happy that you are just going back to the capital? Are you still afraid that you can't go back?"
Standing under the gate of the capital, Zhu Cilang saw Hu Qiang's face always smiling.
"Your Highness, don't talk about the empress, are you unhappy? When you came here on a horse just now, you didn't move all over and kept staring at the two signs on the capital."
Hu Qiang was very unkind and revealed what Zhu Cixuan had just now. Zhu Cixuan smiled helplessly. How could he not feel? Zhu Cixuan also has the memory of this body, and it is like his hometown.
What's more, after his rebirth, so many things happened. Zhu Cilang made a promise in front of the people of the world that he would never ascend the throne and become emperor unless he took the capital. Now that he finally took the capital, it is time to realize his promise back then. In fact, the Ming Dynasty had no king for more than a year.
"Stop talking nonsense here. Many institutions will be moved here later. Whether it is the Qing people or Li Zicheng, I don't care about how many forces they have or how many nails they have buried in the capital. I will give you a month to cooperate with the people from Cao Renli to dig out all these nails for me. I don't want people to worry about my head when I sleep in the future."
Zhu Cixuan said while entering the city, this is actually an undisclosed secret. When Zhu Cixuan retreated from the capital, he also arranged a lot of people in the capital.
These Qing people may not give up now. Who knows what happened to some people here? So it is not wrong to be careful in this situation.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I understand what to do, but there are some things that the Crown Prince must also consider. We lived in Jiangnan before, and there were many royal children, but we did not pass because of the journey. Now we have returned to some royal children in the north of the capital..."
Hu Qiang didn't finish his words, but Zhu Cilang already knew what Hu Qiang meant. The reason why the Ming Dynasty fell into such a dilemma was directly related to these phoenix sons and dragon grandsons.
When Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, he made a rule that all princes were granted the sons of princes, one of whom inherited the title of princes, and all other sons were princes.
The eldest son of the prince inherited the title of the prince, and all the others were granted the title of General Zhenguo.
In short, as long as the descendants of the Zhu family were born, the court could pay for the support. In the early years of this dynasty, there were naturally not many people, and the court could afford it. However, by the end of the Ming Dynasty, the number of these kings was larger.
Some people have calculated that when the royal family members were most prosperous, half of the treasury income was used to pay salaries to these people. How could the Ming Dynasty have money to do other things? Although many people died in the war, if they were all organized, it would never be a decimal...
