Chapter 380 The rain is coming and the building is full of wind!(1/2)
Xu Changqing had expected the changes in the northwest, but he didn't expect that once it burst out, it would be so fierce and even more intense!
Ding Qirui's command gathered more than 50,000 people from all over the northwest, but it was mostly eaten by the main forces of the refugee army overnight, leaving only him and Feng Ai Tiger, Gao Jie, who had less than 10,000 people, broke through to Shanxi.
In this way, the court had only Sun Chuanting, a soldier that could be fought in the hinterland of the northwest.
In Xijing, although the defense is quite thorough, if the siege cannot be resolved as soon as possible in a short period of time, according to the degree of material reserve at this time, the collapse will only be in an instant...
The chaos in the Ming Dynasty has officially begun to erupt...
"Changqing, no, it's okay..."
After a while, Gu Hengbo saw Xu Changqing breathing a sigh of relief, his face slowly slowed down, and then he asked carefully.
"Haha, it's okay, let's have a break early today."
Xu Changqing smiled and hugged Gu Hengbo, but his eyes gradually became gloomy.
"Okay. I'll go clean the bed."
Gu Hengbo was tactful and didn't ask much, and got up obediently to clean up the bed.
Looking at Gu Hengbo's beautiful figure, Xu Changqing took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.
If God commits evil, it can still be forgiven. If man commits evil, it cannot survive!
...
Even though Xu Changqing was worried about the changes in the northwest, he could not exert any effort at this time.
In the continuous battle, the soldiers of the Model Army also need to rest and adjust. What’s more important is that the material reserves cannot keep up at all.
If you send troops rashly, you may not only not solve the problem, but you will also have to deal with yourself.
Not to mention, Xu Changqing's wedding is about to come. Even if the court fully trusts Xu Changqing, allocates various strategic reserves and responds to all requests, it will take three months to wait until Xu Changqing and the model army arrive on the battlefield.
In the next few days, Xu Changqing suppressed the news from the northwest and prevented it from spreading among the people. However, in secret, he increased his inquiry into the situation in the northwest and ordered the Political Affairs Office and the military to make corresponding response plans.
Soon, more and more news came from the northwest.
Ding Qirui, Feng Ruhu and the others failed because they were "tempted the enemy to go deeper" by the refugee army.
The refugee army used many supplies and women as bait to pull a pocket and dig out Luoshui. Ding Qirui and others, who were so happy and had a good attitude, were not prepared at all, and let the main force of the refugee army fight against each other, which directly led to a global collapse!
The court also responded accurately at this time, recruiting Sun Chuanting's tribes, including Shanxi tribes and Datong King Pu's tribes, to rescue Xijing.
But the refugee army was very cautious about the offensive of Xijing, and they surrounded it instead of attacking, but only cut off the channels for Xijing to communicate with the outside world, and seemed to have a bigger plan.
A few days later, before Sun Chuanting and his troops arrived at the battlefield in Xijing, Zhang Xianzhong, who had been hiding at the junction of Huguang and Sichuan, also made a big move and began to officially march into the hinterland of Sichuan.
For a time, the two hinterlands of the northwest and southwest of the Ming Dynasty were full of wars, and the scenes of the end of the world became increasingly even more and more.
"Lord, the current situation is a bit unoptimistic. The bandits are clearly tempting the enemy to go deeper, but on the side of the official army... Although Sun Butang is a general with a hundred battles and claims to have tens of thousands of troops, his commands do not really control the troops. Moreover, internally, many people are more or less involved with the bandits. Now, the only thing they can count on is the main force of the Datong Army of Dingbeibo..."
In the official hall, Li Yan reported in detail to Xu Changqing the core he summarized in these days.
However, he couldn't say such a thing too bluntly, so he could only ask Xu Changqing to supplement the analysis while reading the information.
Xu Changqing naturally understood what Li Yan meant.
He did not agree with sending troops immediately because the general trend of the world has begun to develop into an unpredictable situation.
It's a big mess, but it's also a huge opportunity!
In this state, if you have strong soldiers in your hands, you will get it by sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Bigger, better quality benefits.
Just like in history, the Qing army was fully capable of conquering the capital and then destroying the world, but why not attack and leave this piece of fat to the refugee army?
On the one hand, their strength was slightly lacking at that time. Even if they took the capital and defeated the northern country, the price they paid was extremely high.
Furthermore, it is also the most critical, and it is not right!
Only when the situation in the Ming Dynasty became increasingly chaotic can they reap the best benefits from it!
Xu Changqing has also felt the fluctuations in the Political Affairs Office these days.
The things he has been deliberately cultivating and caring for have broken through the germination period and have begun to thrive and develop...
If there was a choice, Xu Changqing really didn't want the Qing army to enter the pass, and the world would be miserable, and countless people from the Ming Dynasty became slaves of the Qing Dynasty, like pigs and sheep.
But at this time, the Ming Dynasty was already rotten at its roots, and it would not be possible to change the slightest part of the abscesses without removing them!
The most important thing is that with Xu Changqing's foundation at this time, even if he struggles with his wealth and life, it will be difficult to stop this general trend.
"What are the military advisors' opinions?"
Xu Changqing's voice was a bit hoarse.
This is definitely a difficult time!
I am determined to kill the enemy, but I am powerless to turn the world back and cannot stop this terrifying wheel of history...
Li Yan was so energetic that he thought for a moment before he carefully said: "Lord, the intention of the thief is already obvious, this is to surround the point and attack support. From the perspective of his subordinates..."
Li Yan paused for a moment, looked at Xu Changqing sincerely and bravely: "My main force of the official army is probably not the opponent of the main force of the thieves... In this state, when the thieves are in power, anyone will be unlucky. Although my model army is so powerful that there are still many things inside that have not been handled properly. If you are rash, it may not only not have any good results, but instead... I must think twice and put the overall situation first!"
"thump!"
After saying that, Li Yan knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately.
Xu Changqing let out a long sigh, feeling in his heart.
At this time, although the situation has not yet become clear, Li Yan has much more thorough understanding of the current situation than others!
He is not optimistic about the court, nor is he good at the refugee army...
He was able to make this statement at this time, and he was definitely loyal to Xu Changqing with his wealth and life.
Xu Changqing's eyes suddenly became a little cloudy.
Although it means that I know how to make a choice, it will still make Xu Changqing feel very uncomfortable and extremely difficult...
"Military advisor, you go down first. I will think carefully about this matter and make careful decisions!"
"yes……"
Li Yan didn't say anything more and respectfully withdrew from the official hall. However, he had already made a decision in his heart that even if he fought for his life, he would never let Xu Changqing make a wrong choice.
Watching Li Yan leave, Xu Changqing fell into deep silence.
At this point, Xu Changqing had already done his best to do everything he could. Starting from Songjin, including later Central Plains, and the Qing army entered the pass this time, Xu Changqing tried his best, which could be regarded as leaving a trace of incense for the Ming Dynasty.
However, how can a day be cold, three feet?
The source of the chronic disease is not eliminated, and when facing such a choice that directly concerns the direction of the general trend, there is still not enough effort...
...
In the next few days, countless horses traveled back and forth quickly between Haicheng and the northwest, and the information on the battlefield was like snowflakes, constantly conveying it to Xu Changqing.
What made Xu Changqing a little thankful was that Sun Chuanting was worthy of being the last backbone of the Ming Dynasty. After understanding the intentions of the main force of the migrant army, he did not rush to advance, but gathered troops from all over the place to reorganize the army in Weinan.
This will bring great pressure to the thief.
Even if the Ming army is poor, there is still the entire Ming Dynasty.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Support, and the main force of the refugee army only has the surplus grain that has been accumulated in these poor places these days.
As long as Sun Chuanting can stabilize for one or two months, the Ming army still has a great chance!
Even if the main force of the refugee army cannot be completely suppressed, defeated them, and severely damaged them.
Now, what Xu Changqing is most worried about is whether Emperor Chongzhen can tolerate it and whether he can make the right decision at this time.
If Emperor Chongzhen was still old and eager for quick success and instant benefits, then I'm afraid the Daluo God would be unable to turn things around...
Time passes by rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, it will be auspicious for Xu Changqing's wedding in a few days. Guests from all over the world gather in Haicheng like a tide.
If it weren't for this incident, as Xu Changqing's brother, Wang Pu would have to come here in person, but at this time, he obviously couldn't come. Of course, shocking gifts are definitely indispensable.
And with the arrival of guests from all over the world, many news from the northwest was also heard.
On that day, Xu Changqing had greeted the guests and was about to go to the inner study room to rest, but was stopped by Wu Xiang: "Changqing, what do you think about the situation in the northwest?"
Wu Xiang directly confronted Xu Changqing in the official hall, which made Xu Changqing have to treat him well without wanting to.
During these days, Wu Xiang was still very comfortable in Haicheng.
He fought in Liaodong since he was a child and was very adapted to the climate by the sea. Haicheng was much south than Liaodong, and the climate was even more pleasant than Liaodong.
In addition, Haicheng's urban construction is very good, not only the roads are wide, but also cleaner. Especially Haicheng's trade is very developed. What you can't imagine can buy as long as you have money, it is really a livable place.
However, the changes in the northwest made Wu Xiang nervous all of a sudden.
"Father-in-law, what do you think?"
The pretty maid presented the fragrant tea. Xu Changqing did not rush to express his opinion, but kicked the ball back to Wu Xiang.
To be continued...
