Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

Chapter 800 Are you kind?Wicked?

To a certain extent, it is correct to fight against the outside world first, and guerrilla warfare and sparrow warfare behind enemy lines are even more correct among the correct ones.

But this correctness is based on certain special conditions, such as sufficient strategic depth.

The territory of the Rabbit's family is big and wide enough, and even the territory of Mao Xiong's family is large enough. Even if it takes a step back, Brother Ah San's territory can still make do with it.

England wanting to play this tactic is basically a dream.

Especially to the surprise of Cromwell, Da Ming really arrested all the English people——Da Ming's eyes are almost red because of the shortage of laborers. If there are so many English laborers who are not arrested and used, can it be Want to use Daming people?

Under such circumstances, even if the fact that the English army is not popular among the English civilians is deliberately ignored, Cromwell's plan is doomed to fail after losing the mass soil on which he lives.

However, to the relief of both Cromwell and Charles I, the advance of the Ming army suddenly slowed down.

From the point of view of Emperor Chongzhen, he naturally wished to flatten the whole of England in one day. However, what was more insane was that in the Ming army, the psychological state of many guardsmen was not optimistic.

After Shen Zhenjiang was given to commit suicide, the eunuchs who were dispatched by the expert factory to supervise the army were ordered to conduct a secret investigation, and the results of the investigation were shocking.

The high and middle ranks in the army are better, they can basically understand why Emperor Chongzhen ordered Shen Zhenjiang to die, while the generals and lieutenants at the lower ranks, especially the soldiers at the bottom, generally hold sympathy for Shen Zhenjiang .

In other words, if it was not the Emperor Chongzhen who issued the order, even if it was Zhang Zhiji, the head of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion, this matter would very likely cause a lot of mutiny.

Shen Zhenjiang knew he deserved to die, and the soldiers of the Southern Imperial Forest Guard also agreed with this point, but this was from the perspective of the person involved - his own commander who disobeyed orders, naturally deserved to die.

However, in the hearts of the other soldiers, being loyal to the Ming Dynasty and dying for the emperor should have been rewarded, why should such a loyal commander be given to death?

The most fundamental reason why the soldiers have not mutinied so far is that the prestige accumulated by Emperor Chongzhen over the years has made everyone in the army dare not have a second heart.

However, heavy pressure is not the solution to all problems. If it is, Qin will not perish under the second generation, Han will not perish under Heng Ling, and Tang will not perish under An Shi.

Therefore, this matter must be properly resolved. In addition to publicly explaining the ins and outs of this matter in the military newspaper, the eunuchs sent by the expert factory to supervise the army are also busy like dogs-it is necessary to ensure that everyone in the army thinks well. No problem.

In addition, it is necessary to carry out normal army defense changes, and it is necessary to mobilize enough soldiers from Daming to rebuild the Southern Yulin Guard. A lot of troubles slowed down the pace of Daming's attack to a certain extent, making Zhang The extreme prophecy that England could be pacified a few months in advance went bankrupt.

Li Hongji was in high spirits, although he didn't know why he always looked at that guy named Wu Sangui as a dislike, but this didn't affect the two of them leading the army forward together.

In fact, the two guys, who are not good birds, get together, and in a certain aspect, they are like-minded. Facing the situation of the English barbarians hiding in the mountains, the two unscrupulous people unanimously chose to set fire to the mountain.

Wu Sangui, who was dressed as a standard commander of the Daming Guard, supported the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, looked at the small hill that was getting bigger and bigger, and suddenly said with emotion: "You said, if we set off such a big fire in Daming, What will happen?"

Li Hongji gave Wu Sangui a sideways look, and said with a sneer, "Just try if you have the guts, the local government can't control you, but you think the military law will let you off? Don't forget, active soldiers who break the law will be tried by military court! "

Wu Sangui said: "Of course I don't have the guts, and you probably don't either. That's why the opportunity to set fire to the mountain now is so rare, refreshing."

Li Hongji said: "I'm sorry, I'm not interested in setting fire to mountains. In that poor place of Xinming Island, there are many mountains burned, and this small hill is not bad. It's you, seize the opportunity to enjoy the pleasure of setting fire to mountains." Well, there is no chance to go back."

The consequences of the destruction of the environment, the Royal Academy has long given a conclusion, and because of this, it is also clearly written in the "Law of the Ming Dynasty Criminal Law", setting fire to the mountain, sitting in prison - is the real prison Sit and wear, as long as you go in, you don't have to think about getting out.

Li Hongji was better. Xinming Island was high above the sky and the emperor was far away. In order to wipe out the barbarians on Xinming Island, and to mine those minerals, Li Hongji often brought his killers to set fire.

Wu Sangui, on the other hand, never had the opportunity to experience the thrill of setting fire to mountains in Daming. Now that he came to England to fight, Wu Sangui, who had experienced the thrill of setting mountains and burning mountains, would naturally not let him go.

As for how many people would be burned to death, or what kind of damage would be caused to England's environment, that was beyond Wu Sangui's consideration.

England is not a territory of Ming Dynasty now, but it will be the territory of the British government in the future. Is there any use for loving it so much?It's not my own home...

After reining in the reins and driving the horse back a few steps, Wu Sangui said, "Which batch is this? If these barbarians really continue to do this, it will be disgusting enough. We can't take England's Is the whole mountain burned?"

Li Hongji said: "What's so disgusting, no matter how many barbarians there are, can we have as many people? If their game is replaced by the common people of Ming Dynasty, everyone will have a headache, but these barbarians are only so small in total, how dare they Playing the strategy of dividing troops and fighting randomly, maybe it's because the birthday guy eats arsenic and gets tired of his life?"

Wu Sangui nodded, but said solemnly: "This is not a problem. The problem is our advancing speed. In any case, we must end the entire English war before winter."

Li Hongji said: "So what if it's winter?"

Wu Sangui said: "The winter just got better a few days ago, and last year's winter suddenly turned cold again, and none of us know what's going on in England.

If we can't clean up the savages before winter, it means we have to fight the savages in winter, and supplies and soldiers will be much more troublesome than it is now. "

Seeing Li Hongji nodding his head in approval, Wu Sangui continued: "So, we must speed up our progress, and no matter what, we must rush to quell this war before winter begins."

Li Hongji said rather reluctantly: "If you blindly speed up, what will these barbarians do?"

Pointing to the Englishman who ran out of the mountains, Li Hongji's eyes lit up a little: "A barbarian is worth five taels of silver, five taels of silver!"

As if to increase the persuasiveness of his words, Li Hongji simply opened his palm and gestured: "How many big fat chickens can you buy for five taels of silver? How many girls can you spread your legs?"

Wu Sangui glanced at Li Hongji sideways, and snorted coldly: "What's the use of silver? Can it be eaten or drunk? Don't forget, we are in the army, where can we spend money? Military merit, only real military merit is worth it." It comes first!"

Li Hongji suddenly became upset.

Li Hongji didn't care much about such things as military merit. After all, his position in Xinming Island was already high enough, and there was little hope of being transferred back to the mainland of Ming Dynasty, so military merit was naturally useless.

And the broken place of Xinming Island is not to say that the island is not dead, but it is actually desolate. If it hadn't been for the addition of some small populations in the past few years, Xinming Island would be even less populated.

You, Changbo Wu, are in the mainland of Daming, so it's a good thing, let you come to Xinming Island for a few years to try?If you don't spend money with money, you can suffocate you to death!

Naturally, Wu Sangui didn't know what kind of bird it was on Xinming Island. After all, he had never been to Xinming Island, but seeing that Li Hongji was so concerned about catching barbarians, Wu Sangui finally decided to cooperate with Li Hongji.

No one has too much money of their own.

After pondering for a while, Wu Sangui said, "Why don't you send someone to recruit you?"

Li Hongji shook his head and said, "Those barbarians from England were originally intended to be captured and sold. If you sell them after recruiting them, it will really hurt your reputation."

Wu Sangui said: "Then what do you think we should do? You don't want to kill you, and you don't want to pretend to surrender, so tell me, is there any good way to kill two birds with one stone?"

Li Hongji chuckled, and said, "Of course there are good ways. It's just that we don't send people to recruit these English civilians, we recruit their rebels.

Don’t the barbarians in England now have officers and soldiers as well as rebels? As long as we send people to recruit those rebels who have trouble with the English court, and then buy barbarians from them, won’t all problems be solved? "

Wu Sangui hesitated and said: "Is that possible? No matter how stupid these barbarians are, how can they still attack people of the same clan?"

Li Hongji sneered nonchalantly: "Changbo Wu, what are you thinking of these barbarian rebels?

For the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, the people of the Ming Dynasty are the parents and fellow villagers who gave birth to them and raised them. In addition, His Majesty loves the people like a son. Naturally, there is no big-headed soldier who is not open-minded to provoke the people, but to protect the people everywhere.But in front of these, "

Stretching out his horsewhip and pointing to the English soldiers who were running around but were quickly captured by the Ming soldiers, Li Hongji continued: "Good!

Those English rebels can be enemies of the English court when the two countries are at war, can you still expect them to have English people in their hearts?

As long as they are given enough benefits, as long as they are not allowed to sell their parents, wives and children, do you think they would care about selling their neighbors?

Don't be stupid, I saw a lot of barbarians when I was in Xinming Island, and the barbarians who have no manners, morality and shame go crazy, there is nothing they dare not do! "

Wu Sangui said: "If you say so, don't we recruit some rebels, sell them to speak, and then buy the barbarians from them?"

Li Hongji said: "That's the way it is. No matter whether it succeeds or not, try it first. There's no harm in trying. At worst, it's just some munitions. It's not a big deal."
