Chapter 1020

Of course, before he went to sleep, Zu Kuan ordered someone to write an urgent war report and sent a signal soldier to report the things here to the top.

Although Zu Kuan seems to be a very rough and haughty person, he is meticulous. If he can become the chief soldier from a small soldier, he will not be an idle person. He has changed from a shoulder pole to a person who doesn't know a word to a person who can read the military newspaper and barely read words. It took a lot of effort.

He knew that Hong Chengchou had sent tens of thousands of troops to search and arrest him in order to win Li Zicheng.

In order to kill Li Zicheng, they spent a lot of troops, because Li Zicheng has now become the leader of the wandering bandits. Since the death of Zhang Xianzhong and Gao Yingxiang, he is a well deserved boss, and many wandering bandits are also his leaders.

They fought in Ziwu Valley, but they were beaten down by sun chuanting's troops and fled to the mountain. There were only hundreds of people around them.

However, in just a few years, they re launched Zhongnan mountain. In just a few years, they expanded to more than 200000 people. The whole thirty-seven counties of Xi'an prefecture have not been harmed by them.

Such a person, even if he has one remaining soldier, is likely to make a comeback. Only killing it can make these people feel at ease. That's why they have strengthened their search and arrest.

Hong Chengchou was also forced by the above, so he also hinted to his men that life should see people, death should see corpses, and death is better.

It was once proposed that we should simply recruit this person. If we recruit this person, we can do our best to make their forces expand rapidly.

Hong Chengchou flatly refused. He thought that Li Zicheng would not be subordinate to others. If he was recruited and given a chance to breathe, he would be eaten back sooner or later. This would bring disaster to himself. When the imperial court occupied an absolute advantage, there was no need to surrender.

For Hong Chengchou, ending the war as soon as possible and killing fewer people are not attractive to him. For him, establishing military merit is the best.

After Hong Chengchou joined the Chinese army, he held back his strength and wanted to make a career to prove himself. Although he was already a famous commander in the world in the Ming Dynasty, it was the past of the previous dynasty, and he did nothing in the new dynasty.

Although he led hundreds of thousands of people to surrender into the Chinese army, he did not think it was a meritorious feat. If he wanted to rely on such things, it was impossible to gain a foothold in the Chinese army. At the top of the Chinese army, whether civil and military officials, they could mix in the system based on their real skills, but their birth was second.

Therefore, although Hong Chengchou has defeated the main force of the roving bandits under Xi'an city and captured most of his men and horses, he still insists that one day Li Zicheng will not die and Shaanxi will not be chaotic. Only by winning Li Zicheng can they be regarded as a perfect palace.

Because of this, he tried his best to destroy his generals, so that they would try their best to hunt down Li Zicheng.

If Li thief gets away in this war, all his efforts will come to naught. From my commander, all generals and captains will be demoted to one level.

This shows Hong Chengchou's determination.

Of course, the pursuit of Li Zicheng is on the one hand, as is the calming and recovery of the surrounding counties.

The Chinese army continued to move into the northwest, and their troops increased rapidly. More troops meant that he could do more things.

Before that, he used all his troops to deal with Li Zicheng, but when he had enough experience, he began to plot other things and extend his claws to the seven houses of Shaanxi.

Since the demise of the Ming Dynasty, local powers have risen rapidly, seizing local rights and taking the land as the king. If these people are not eradicated quickly, they are easy to end up and bring disaster to the place.

Therefore, on the one hand, Hong Chengchou organized troops to pursue and kill Li Zicheng. On the other hand, he suppressed and cleaned up these local giants and would not give them a chance to rise. Although it is unlikely that another Liu family will appear, if there is a scene of out of control, the above must doubt Hong Chengchou's ability.

Although Hong Chengchou was not long after he joined the new dynasty, he was given a high position. He was also the governor. He was responsible for military affairs in the northwest. He had no greater power and responsibility than in the Zhu Ming era, but he was still a little worried in his heart.

After all, he was not a dragon at the beginning, and he can be called a second minister. In the Ming Dynasty, he was a Jinshi. He has the strongest brand and the support of the whole Shilin group. If he develops well, it is not surprising to be a minister of the Ministry of war or a bachelor.

But it's different in the new dynasty. Even Hong Chengchou believes that if he makes an exception and reuses him, he often wants to buy the hearts of more than 100000 people under him. It is estimated that as long as one is bad and Liu Yuanqiao is unhappy, he can immediately avoid his position.

He sent out cavalry, rushed all night and defeated Li Zicheng's army in one fell swoop. This is the product of this mentality. He must do his best to prove his ability. When he saw the military newspaper that Li Zicheng was annihilated, he couldn't help laughing up to the sky. The chaos in Shaanxi and the earth can be suspended, and he also proved his ability to all people.

You know, in the Ming Dynasty, he chased and killed Li Zicheng all the way and fought half of the Central Plains. Many people think that he is raising thieves and respecting himself. Only he understands that Li Zicheng is too good and runs too fast to catch up.

There are few officers and soldiers dispatched, and they are easy to kill them if they catch up. When there are many dispatched people, it is not easy to catch up with each other. Even if they catch up, the other party will run away and still have to catch up. All this becomes troublesome and becomes self-respect for raising thieves in the eyes of many people.

In the new dynasty, he would not let others say so about him. He won Li Zicheng. He made great military achievements and proved his value. How could Liu Yuanqiao despise such talents?

Li Luo, the 16th monarch of the Korean Dynasty of the Li family, has the word Hebo, the number songchuang, and the milk name Tianyin. Native to Quanzhou Dao, born in Haizhou, he is the grandson of Korean xuanzu Li Min, the son of Li Min, Emperor Yuanzong of Dingyuan, and the nephew of Guanghai Jun Li Hui.

When renzu ascended the throne, the western people's party became the ruling party because it dominated renzu anyway. However, renzu absorbed the disadvantages of the Great Northern faction monopolizing the imperial government in the guanghaijun era. Therefore, while relying on the power of Western meritorious officials, renzu also used the southern people's Party (Li Yuanyi, Li Shengqiu, Li minqiu, etc.), the small northern faction (Nan Yigong, Jin penguo, etc.) and even the Great Northern faction (Li Qingquan, etc.) that did not participate in the request of the abolition mother court, And recruited the mountain and forest Confucian scholars represented by Jin Changsheng and Pu Zhijie to maintain the balance of the political situation.

The characteristics of the party struggle in the Li Luo Dynasty were not obvious. At that time, the discussion of the dynasty, such as the pursuit of the yuan Zong and the discussion of talking about peace and denouncing harmony, although there were similarities and differences, it was not from the West or the south. Therefore, the main contradiction in the political situation at that time was the contradiction between the forces of meritorious officials and non meritorious scholars.

Even among the meritorious officials, there are opposites, such as Jin Yu and Li Gui, Li Shibai and his son, Jin Zidian and Shen Qiyuan. Li Luo adopted the policy of mixing different theories and maintained his kingship.

However, at this time, the world has entered the little ice age, and North Korea is no exception. For example, in the fifth year of Chongzhen, when beibian Secretary reported to him, he exclaimed: "after three years of fierce apology, the two wheat have withered and the four fields are red, which is a great change never seen before!" in addition to many people dying of hunger due to famine, there are not a few people who died of the plague with famine. Small-scale riots have occurred in some places, and some ministers are worried that this is the gradual change of red eyebrows and yellow scarves.

However, Li Luo was helpless. At most, he took measures such as reducing the salaries of all officials and suspending weapons manufacturing. He prayed for rain almost every year after Chongzhen five years, but it did not evolve into an all-round social unrest.

In addition, whenever there were disasters, Li Luo also taught for advice. Although they all expressed their adoption, almost none of them were put into practice, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the courtiers.

In Li Luo's time, there were constant internal and external disturbances and had to be strengthened militarily. In terms of military system, the central army at the time of Li Luo's accession to the throne had only training capital prison. Li Luo threatened to enlist Houjin personally and "cooperate with the Ming Dynasty to win the prisoners" "So he took Li Gui as the Imperial military envoy to recruit troops, and later formed the imperial camp army. After Li Shizhi's rebellion, in order to strengthen the king's Suwei, he added the general military hall and the Imperial Hall in the process of building the mountain city of the Southern Han Dynasty.

In terms of weapons, Li Peng continued the policy of developing firearms and vigorously manufactured shotguns. In the seventh year of the apocalypse, he was able to produce 1000 shotguns a year, and in the ninth year of Chongzhen, he produced 2000 shotguns a year. Not only that, he also bought shotguns from Japan many times. After Bingzi's chaos, the number of shotguns owned by North Korea has reached 50000.

At the same time, due to the restrictions on the export of sulfur and saltpeter in the Ming Dynasty, Li Luo appointed Li Shu, the hero of Wanfeng mansion, to be responsible for research and development and self-reliance. In the fourth year of Chongzhen, he set up a separate building hall in the military temple, which was specially responsible for manufacturing firearms and breaking through the technical difficulties of gunpowder.

It is said that an officer named Cheng Gen learned the method of making fireworks and nitrates from refugees in Eastern Liaoning, which was adopted by Li Shu. In the eighth year of Chongzhen, Li Shu compiled artillery style, which contains the methods of making and using various firearms, with an explanation of proverbs and an appendix of a new recipe for cooking fireworks and nitrates. However, the following year, Bingzi chaos broke out, and this book was not of great use.

In the fourth year of apocalypse, they got the red cannon from Ambassador Chen Wei and Zheng DouYuan. They were overjoyed, but there was no progress in development.

In the first year of Chongzhen, the Dutch sailor Pu Yuan and other three people drifted to North Korea. Li Luo asked them to use them to make various weapons, including artillery. When C Zi was disorderly, he worked under the command of general yourenlong. Both of them except Pu Yuan died in the war.

North Korea is better at using shotguns. It once killed Yang Guli, the son-in-law of the Qing Dynasty when Bingzi was disorderly. This is also valued by later Jin JianNu, who often enlisted North Korean shotguns to fight.

In terms of strategy, after Ding Mao's chaos, Li Luo's main strategy is to give way to the main road, build a mountain city and equip it with firearms, such as moving Yizhou to Baima Mountain City, Pyongyang to Cimu mountain city, Huangzhou to Zhengfang mountain city and Pingshan to Changshou mountain city, and strengthening the fortifications of Jianghua island and Nanhan mountain city.
