Chapter 247 Li Zicheng, come on for me!

Li Guopu smiled and said, "Your Master, don't be surprised by this. What's the point? A general has achieved success and has to do a few ruthless things. If you want to do big things, you will inevitably have to do a few ruthless things."

"Why can uncle have such power today? In the final analysis, it is because of the word "ruthless"!"

"Ye Chengxue doesn't borrow a few heads and makes a few great achievements. How can he do the work of Zhang Yong's elimination of Jiang Bin in the future?"

After hearing this, Lai Zongdao fell silent for a moment.

After a while, Lai Zongdao asked, "So, you asked Ye Chengxue to turn against him?"

Li Guopu nodded: "Not only did he let him turn against him, but he told Zhang Guojiu in advance that he might be killed in Qingjiangpu, but I also agreed to Ye Chengxue to tell Zhang Guojiu on his own initiative."

"But you know, if you don't do this, maybe it's possible."

Lai Zongdao pointed at Li Guopu excitedly and started talking.

Li Guopu asked calmly: "Maybe Zhang Guojiu was really killed, and then the prince successfully left the cabinet and was educated by a Confucian minister?"

As he said that, Li Guopu said, "As long as the sun has not yet set, without a uncle Zhang, there will be another uncle Li, uncle Wang! Besides, in this situation, the old master really feels that without him uncle Zhang, everyone will be able to go to the court?"

When Li Guopu said this, he put the teacup heavily on the table: "Wrong!"

"As long as the power is not in our hands, all these cannot be done! We should have lofty ambitions, and we should not be in a hurry for some things. The uncle is no longer alone, but a large group of people are following him to harm the Ming Dynasty."

"If you want to deny him and destroy him, you can only take your time! When the internal chaos begins, there will be a clue this time. Whether it is Li Yulan or Zhou Neng, one betrays him, the other is expelled from the Marquis' Mansion by him, Xilin Academy and Guards, the literary and military founded by Zhang Guojiu is not completely consistent with his ambitions. Now, Zhang Guojiu can also eliminate the conflicts between the two by clearing the benefits obtained by the gentry of Jiangnan, but after the benefits of the gentry of Jiangnan are taken away, there will be conflicts. Not everyone can live a lifetime by relying on the ideal of the sage. The world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit."

"So, can he still believe it?"

Come to the sect to ask about the Tao.

Li Guopu has now begun to indulge in his wisdom. He wished he could use a goose feather fan like Zhuge Liang to shake it a few times, and said, "This person is a wonderful chess set up by the emperor. It is not only credible, but it will be the key to reverse the situation in the future!"

“That’s good.”

Lai Zongdao said, and said, "You can't be impatient in this matter. During the Shimiao, the Yan Party was ruining the country for more than 20 years. What's more, the emperor trusts his uncle even more than Yan Song now!"

"Maybe I can't see the day the sun sets."

Li Guopu sighed.

Lai Zongdao also frowned for this.

He began to understand why after Sima Guang returned to the Northern Song Dynasty to take up new rule, he was eager to abolish all new laws and even cede land that had been captured from Xixia during the reign of Emperor Shenzong of Song to Xixia.

Because it is really a very uncomfortable thing to not see the world you want to see reappear.

Li Guopu and other civil servants and officials were thinking about when they could all destroy the new policies created by Zhang Gui and Tianqi. However, Zhang Gui and other reformists are now protecting their manors for Li Guopu and the powerful people of Lai Zongdao, and began to plan how to command more than 100,000 troops and eat up all the Tartars who entered the pass!

In the history of the Ming Dynasty, there were not many commander-type civil officials who had the ability to command the army strategically and tactically in the late Ming Dynasty. Xiong Tingbi, Yuan Keli, and Lu Xiangsheng were among them.

And now, the person in charge of command is Lu Xiangsheng.

Zhang Guizi asked himself that he still couldn't play with the real command of the large army. After all, there were many tactics and dispatches involved, so he only took the initiative to cooperate with Lu Xiangsheng and used his power to suppress the civil and military officials inside and outside the city to cooperate with Lu Xiangsheng's dispatch.

Therefore, Lu Xiangsheng, the Minister of War, was able to be said to be able to command more than 100,000 Ming troops, including Guanning troops outside the city.

For a time, Changping Prefecture, Shunyi, Pinggu, Sanhe, Xianghe, Baiyangkou, Juyongguan, Jizhou, Zhenbiancheng, Huailaiwei, Huairou, Miyun, and Gubeikou were all stationed in various ways to confuse the enemy, as if surrounded by an iron barrel.

Huang Taiji and Lin Danhan may not have known that they had fallen into the net of heaven and earth arranged by Lu Xiangsheng, and were still driving heavy troops to attack the west mountain.

At this time, outside the Western Mountains, all the elite Tartars had appeared, shaking flags and drums, and setting up their formations.

"Huang Degong's general reserve camp remained unmoved, so Zhou Yuji led the Xishan camp and the Huben army to face the enemy in the front of Xishan."

When a large number of Tartars had already appeared in the West Mountain, the Ming army also began to beat drums and gold, and the formations were all arranged. Lu Xiangsheng also told Zhang Gui again and asked Zhang Gui: "What do you think of the uncle?"

After thinking about it, Zhang Gui asked Lu Xiangsheng: "Are you still worried about Guan Ning Bing?"

Lu Xiangsheng nodded.

Zhang Gui said: "Then let's arrange it according to what Grand Sima said!"

Therefore, Lu Xiangsheng didn't say anything else and followed Zhang Gui and others to the exterior wall of the castle.

As soon as they arrived at the exterior wall of the castle, Zhang Gui, Lu Xiangsheng and others picked up their telescopes and looked outside.

When Zhang Gui saw many Mongolians also began to push chariots and artillery chariots with several layers of cowhide, and hid the heavily armored infantry holding the muskets behind the chariots and moved forward slowly, he couldn't help but say to Lu Xiangsheng first: "These Mongolians actually learned to use the Jiannu's tactics, using the chariots and artillery chariots as cover. The heavily armored infantry and artillery chariots hid behind the chariots. It seemed that Jiannu should have handed them over to them."

Lu Xiangsheng said at this time: "But their cannons are different. The Jiannu's cannon already has a turntable, and the cannon barrel is closer to the cannon barrel of our Guards. It is obvious that someone leaked the secret to them. However, these Jiannu people also obviously had a hand when teaching the Mongolians."

Zhang Gui said: "The leak should be leaked by Li Yulan and others. There is no way to do this. There is a million people in the Xishan Industrial Department, plus the Guards, it is difficult to keep it absolutely confidential. In fact, the best way to keep it confidential is that we must always keep the lead in the corresponding practical and skill. Because of this, last time Duoduo came, I told you not to rush to use the rifled cannons installed in Xishan. What you are guarding against is to let them know in advance, and we have changed the new cannons."

After hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng had an idea: "I just discovered that these Mongolians and Jiannu people had already begun to mount turtle dove guns, but there were no flintlock guns and firing guns in their camps. This shows that they did not know that we were turtle dove guns and firing guns. And they were using oil-added tactics. There were not many Tartars in the first batch, about 5,000 people. Since this is the case, it would be better to let Cao Wenzhao's troops retreat temporarily to the second line of defense and let Li Zicheng's troops fight the enemy first! The Tiger Bing Army is only equipped with turtle dove guns, which makes the Tartars mistakenly think that there is no gap between us and them in firearms."

Li Laiheng, who was beside him, heard this and said, "This is unreasonable! Let us Hu Ben Army go to die first. We will not do it."

Seeing this, Zhang Gui shouted angrily: "Li Laiheng! You yellow-haired doll, do you still know the military rules? You dare to question the Grand Marshal of the current dynasty, so don't join the army if you are afraid of death! Your Majesty's extra reward is yourselves. Some of them will do the good things of twenty taels of silver! If you believe it or not, my commander will give you the order to kill you directly! Not only will you not be able to receive the money, but you will also be lifeless!"

Then, Zhang Gui looked at Li Zicheng again: "Let you strengthen military discipline and military regulations education, how did you do it?"

Li Zicheng still obeyed Zhang Gui, because he and Zhang Gui had been together for a long time these days, and had long admired Zhang Gui, so he came over and slapped Li Laiheng: "What are you talking about? If you are afraid of death, get out! Listen to the command of the uncle, brothers from each old camp went out of the city to fight the Tartars!"

The Hu Ben Army retained part of the tradition of the rebel army, and all the elite chief soldiers were organized into old camps.

Therefore, Li Zicheng mentioned Laoying here.

"I'm afraid of being a egg, just killing the Tartars, I'll just go!"

Li Laiheng replied.

Next, Li Zicheng's old camp of the Hu Ben Army first went to fight against the Tartars.

The Xishan Camp of the Guards temporarily retreated to the back.

Because it was a major battle to annihilate these Tartars, the guards and the Hu Ben army in Xishan were all arranged outside Xishan Fort, and of course, there were no more in the city.

At this time, Li Zicheng's old camp of the Hu Ben Army also pushed the chariots and artillery chariots, dressed in cloth armor, and attacked the Tartars on the opposite side.
