Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 251 Fight for yourself
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was still in Tongguan. He saw the information fed back by the Class A eavesdropping seeds on Liu Yue and knew that the bandits had arrived in Nanyang and were preparing to attack the city.Since it was a long way from Tongguan to Nanyang, he was not prepared to wait any longer and ordered the rest to end.

At the same time, he also immediately sent messengers to pass the decree to the elite troops outside Chen Qiyu's jurisdiction, that is, there were more than 1 brave guard battalions, and Ma Xianglin's troops in Sichuan all marched towards Nanyang.

And the Ming soldiers who were originally in Tongguan, because they completely wiped out the Tumote troops who entered the pass, which was an unprecedented victory, their morale was high.Then they went all the way south to sweep up the thieves, and let them see that the emperor is not only wise and powerful, but also caring about the people, leading them to fight against the locust plague together, which made them feel that they can fight under the emperor's command without worrying about logistics. Don't be too nice, I don't feel like I was restrained before, I've thought about it for a long time, fight a good battle and make a battle!
Therefore, after hearing the emperor's will to end the rest, the whole army assembled, and the morale was particularly high.

Emperor Chongzhen was also dressed in military uniform. Accompanied by Zheng Chongjian, the governor of the three sides, Li Ruolian, the commander of Jinyiwei, and a group of Jinyiwei in flying fish uniforms, came to the Tongguan school grounds to stand on the general stage.

There are tens of thousands of people, boundless, not to mention countless war horses mixed in.The soldiers were wearing all kinds of armor, holding weapons that reflected the sun. The horses snorted beside them, and occasionally their front hooves hit the ground. This scene before him made Emperor Chongzhen feel that the blood in his body began to boil.

A man with a golden sword and an iron horse can swallow up thousands of miles like a tiger. In this life, he will bring this iron horse under his command to conquer the world, give the people a peaceful life, and revive the Ming Dynasty!

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen, who had a sense of arrogance and arrogance, said loudly while scanning the soldiers below: "Since I left Beijing, I don't know how many places I have seen, all of which are ruins and deserted. These Places where people used to live, where are they now?"

The loud-voiced captain of the Imperial Guard loudly relayed the emperor's words to every soldier.

The soldiers here are basically Qin soldiers, and only a few are from the Guanning army, who are considered to be from Liaodong.But no matter where they are, they are not unfamiliar with the scene described by the emperor.Whether it is Shaanxi or Liaodong, I don’t know how many places that were once lively, but now there are only ruins left.

Hearing the emperor mention this, some people have seen such a scene in a place they are familiar with, and now they hear the emperor mentioning it, and they can't help but feel a little sad; some people have already become numb. I don't have much feeling, I just feel that the emperor seems to be making a fuss, after all, this kind of thing is too common.

"Since I came out of Beijing, I have often seen piles of bones on the roadside and in the wasteland. I can't help but think, who were they before they were alive? Where are their relatives? What is the reason for their corpses to be left here and not buried in the ground for safety? "

Hearing the emperor mentioned this, these soldiers who had long been numb to this could not help but sigh in their hearts. The reason is still unclear, either they died of war, starvation, or disease!In this world, the lives of ordinary people are not easy!

The morale, which was originally high, has been slightly lowered because of these influences.This made Zheng Chongjian, who was watching from the side, a little surprised.Judging from the previous performance, the emperor has a talent for leading the army in battle. Don't you know the impact of morale on warfare?Why do you want to say these words to damage the morale of the soldiers?

Even though he thought so, the emperor was talking, and he didn't have the courage to interrupt the emperor's words, so he frowned slightly and continued to listen.

"Floods in the south and drought in the north, the local government's ineffective disaster relief, people starving, sickness and death, and locust plagues added to the snow, and the scourge of thieves, and the rampage of Jianlu made the government even more powerless to relieve disasters, and made more people suffer. I can’t survive. All of these are the reasons why there are no chickens crowing for thousands of miles, and the bones are exposed in the wild.” The expression of Emperor Chongzhen became serious, and he said loudly, “I will never allow these tragic things. It happens endlessly to my people. Therefore, I promote talents in a variety of ways, some are good at water control, and some are good at farming. I hope that these can be changed so that my people will no longer be hungry or cold, and will not be blown by the wind. Rain, no money to see a doctor..."

Listening to the emperor's description, most of these Ming soldiers were from poor people, and they couldn't help but imagine such a day, and for a while, they were fascinated.

"...not to mention suffering from wars, my people can live and work in peace and contentment!" Emperor Chongzhen suddenly yelled loudly when he said this, "This is my wish, are you willing to help me?"

After these words were shouted out, the soldiers of the Hussars Battalion were the first to react, because they had experienced it before: "I will follow you to the death!"

After hearing this, the soldiers of the Qin army also roared: "I will follow to the death!"

At this moment, they are only thinking about living the happy life that the emperor said in the future, instead of thinking about making military exploits in exchange for glory and wealth!

At this very moment, tens of thousands of people gathered together in this school field with an indestructible momentum, as if they were about to go straight to the sky, which made Zheng Chongjian who was beside him very surprised.

If the morale of the army was high before, then the morale of the army at this moment cannot be simply described as high.

After thinking for a while, he suddenly understood.What the emperor said just now was to tell these soldiers what they were fighting for!And what the emperor described is related to each of them and their relatives and friends.

The so-called helping the emperor, in fact, is more accurate to say, it is actually fighting for themselves, for their relatives and friends!

After thinking about this, Zheng Chongjian looked sideways at the emperor's profile, and couldn't help but improve the emperor's ability to lead troops again in his heart.No matter what method is used to raise morale to such a terrifying level, even a flock of sheep can beat wolves!
Generally speaking, the ancients used prosperity and wealth to motivate morale, that is, rewards and punishments were clearly defined. Those who can do this are already a very good commander.

However, Emperor Chongzhen who came from later generations understood that in addition to distinguishing rewards and punishments, if the soldiers could know why they were fighting, that is, let them know that this battle was also fought for themselves, then this army The army will be more tenacious and brave.

In fact, what Emperor Chongzhen said just now was not deliberately said for this purpose.Rather, these things are indeed what he thinks, what he wants to achieve, and he just said them by the way before this expedition.

Seeing the reaction of the soldiers below, Emperor Chongzhen was also pleased, and said loudly: "I have used tricks to attract the thieves to Nanyang, and now they are preparing to attack Nanyang. I want to complete my work in one battle and wipe out the thieves under the city of Nanyang." , from now on, the people of Ming Dynasty will no longer have to worry about the chaos of war. All soldiers, follow me to fight against the thieves!"

"Follow the order!" Tens of thousands of voices roared out, shaking the whole field.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen turned his head to look at Zheng Chongjian and said: "I lead the cavalry first, and Qing leads the infantry to follow."

"Your Majesty, let me lead the cavalry first and open the way for Your Majesty!" Zheng Chongjian said worriedly when he heard this.

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen thought to himself, if there is no such wiretapping system, maybe you will be fine as the leader of the cavalry.However, now I am the only one who can keep abreast of the movements of the bandits, and can make adjustments at any time on the road, even if I want you to lead the army, it is impossible for me to have this ability!

Thinking of this, he resolutely refused: "Since I have personally conquered, how can I hide behind and enjoy the success! I have made up my mind, so there is no need to talk about it!"

After saying that, he strode off the general platform, got on his horse, and set off!
Behind him, followed by nearly [-] riders, they left Tongguan in a mighty way and entered the territory of Henan.

Outside the encirclement encircled by Chen Qiyu, governor of the five provinces, there was a heavenly net deployed by Emperor Chongzhen himself, and it was time to close the net.

At this time, the bandits outside Nanyang City had no idea that there was such a large dragnet closing in the periphery due to the limited scope of their exploration.At this time, they could only detect movements within a hundred miles around them.They feel that they are the strongest at this time!
As far as Nanyang City is concerned, this is really the case.At a glance, the camps of all kinds of rogues surrounded Nanyang City, boundless, as if all the rogues outside the city as far as the eye could see.However, it looks really shabby in the future.Among the numerous rogue camps, only a few have tents, and more of them don't even have tents, just a bunch of bonfires surrounded by a large group of ragged rogues.

There is no clear boundary between the various thieves.Unlike the regular army, the battalions are separated by fences and protected by ditches.None of these things.

No, they belonged to the rogues under Chuang Wang Li Zicheng, and the next door to them was the rogues under Cao Cao Luo Rucai.There were no tents on either side, just a fire, which had been extinguished just after dawn.

On the side of Luo Rucai's department, there was a thin and frail man who looked at the side of Li Zicheng's department, endured it for a long time, and finally couldn't help but sat there and turned around and asked: "Hey, why are you so happy?" ? It is estimated that the city will be attacked today!"

Hearing someone talking, someone turned around. He was also a thinner man, a little taller, and said in surprise, "Shouldn't you be happy? The dog emperor is in the city!"

Speaking of this, he paused and said, "My name is Wei Chao, what about you?"

"Sun Hanqing."

After Sun Hanqing reported his name, he still asked suspiciously: "What does it matter to you whether the emperor is in the city? When the time comes to attack the city, you are not afraid of death?"

"How come it doesn't matter?" Wei Chao said in surprise after hearing this, "Kill the Dog Emperor, King Chuang will rule the world, do you know that the land will be equalized and the grain will be free? From now on, you will no longer be squeezed by the government, don't you want?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Hanqing glanced at him like a fool and said, "Brother, it's not our turn to worry about whether or not King Chuang sits in the world. You really believe in your equal land and free grain? I see you Like this, I must have been hungry for many days, right? Thinking about the future!"

Hearing them talking, the people around them turned their heads to listen to them, but others did not interrupt immediately and just listened.

"Why don't you believe it?" Wei Chao said in surprise, "King Chuang has opened a warehouse to release food, but there is not much food now, so we eat less."

Speaking of this, he thought of something, looked up at Sun Hanqing's side, but didn't find any leader coming, so he looked at Sun Hanqing again and said, "I tell you, King Chuang is different from others. If there is no way, he is the one who acts for the heavens and conquers the world for our common people. If one day in the future, King Chuang conquers the world, then our common people will have a good life."

"Hehe, what's the difference." Sun Hanqing obviously didn't take it seriously, pointed to the opposite side with his finger, and then pointed to himself, "What's the difference? Don't say that you participated voluntarily, and you were all They coerced them here, otherwise, it would be a dead word!"

Hearing this, his companions all nodded, with a trace of pain and hatred on their faces.

However, on Wei Chao's side, many people were shaking their heads. This time, they talked in a hurry.

"I did it voluntarily. King Chuang really has to open a warehouse to release food, but there is too little food!"

"Yes, I also volunteered. We will not be able to live anymore. King Chuang is a good man. In the future, with King Chuang, he can have fields and be exempted from taxes. Finally, the food grown by himself will not have to pay taxes or pay taxes. Give it to the landowners!"

"Yeah, as long as the dog emperor is killed and the Great Ming Dynasty is seized, we will have a good life!"

"..."

Hearing what they said, many people on Sun Hanqing's side were obviously a little shaken, and some even asked, "Is it true? King Chuang is a good man? Will he be able to get the land in the future and be exempted from taxes?"

At this time, suddenly there were leaders on both sides bringing a group of people over, lighting up piles of people casually, and shouting for them to share buns and eat.

Seeing this situation, Sun Hanqing suddenly whispered: "Look, what's the difference, we will all be forced to die under the city by them!"

When Wei Chao heard this, he wanted to refute, but the leader urged him, so he had no choice but to let it go.

It can be clearly seen that the people on both sides walked to their respective camps, and there was a clear difference in morale.

It was probably also an appointment. At this time, there were movements in other camps, and a siege battle was about to begin.And the first to attack the city were these coerced people.

They were given a little food, and then they were asked to carry bags of soil, and the elite bandits behind them guarded them, and with a shout, they rushed towards the moat.

This is how the first battle of the bandits' attack on Nanyang City began.
