"According to Liu Bowen's calculations, Wang Guangen from the 'Xiaowu Battalion' who was under the rule of Junzhou did not participate in the rebellion. If the army went to encircle and suppress Wang Guangen this time and Wang Guangen still did not rebel, Sun Aiqing could contact him and try to get a The net was spread outside and the center blossomed, taking advantage of the conflicts between Wang Guangen and other ministries to defeat the Luo Rucai Group in one fell swoop and severely damage the main force of the rogue bandits in a short period of time."
Wang Guangen's role is equivalent to that of an undercover agent. If used well, he is a bait that can attract his associates to take the bait. As long as his unit was not eaten by others in Luo Rucai's group before Sun Chuanting's army arrived, it would be equivalent to Sun Chuanting tearing a hole within the rogue bandits and laying a solid foundation for severely damaging Luo Rucai's group.
If "Big Zongzi" really plans to start a rebellion during the Dragon Boat Festival, then the leaders of Luo Rucai's group should have known about it by now. If the communication is too late, the preparation time will be very short. Zhang Xianzhong has been working hard in the Gucheng area. , just waiting for Xiong Wencan and other officials to become careless, he could join forces with his old friends to launch a rebellion, hoping to succeed in one fell swoop.
If Wang Guangen did not get what Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai wanted, Sun Chuanting's army would rush to encircle and suppress them, and he would probably have a rebellious mentality, thinking that the imperial court was going back on its word and did not sincerely recruit them. The purpose was to capture them. The poor people who surrendered "sincerely" were strangled.
But when Wang Guangen knew that his accomplices were about to revolt, the situation was completely different, and he was completely unreasonable. As long as Wang Guangen refused to revolt as written in history, Sun Chuanting would have gained more power in the opponent's camp. Having an ally can increase the chances of winning a lot, because the Luo Rucai Group will have to lose some of its energy to Wang Guangen's subordinates.
Judging from the time of the invasion just calculated, by the time Sun Chuanting's army moved south to the location where the battle started, it would theoretically have been less than ten days since Zhang Xianzhong's rebellion. Wang Guangen must have known about his accomplices' plot, and a certain prince could probably bet on it. Once you bet on his character, it doesn't matter if you lose. If you die, this guy will die. Once you win the bet, you can make a lot of money.
"After I arrive in southern Shaanxi, I will definitely get in touch with him and order him to serve as an internal agent and make contributions to the imperial court!"
Sun Chuanting did not believe that most of the bandit leaders in Luo Rucai's group had participated in the rebellion. Only Wang Guangen stood clearly on the court's side.
But what the prince said was true. This was calculated by Liu Bowen, the military commander of the immortal world. As long as the prince heard it correctly, there should be no mistake. He just followed the order.
However, you have to be careful. If it is a scam, and Wang Guangen may have changed his mind halfway and plans to cause trouble with Luo Rucai and others, and continue to pretend to submit to the court on the surface, then he must be careful.
If this leads to a massive defeat of the army and the loss of tens of thousands of people, even if the prince resists the impeachment and remonstrances of hundreds of officials on his behalf and retains the position of commander-in-chief, he will be walking on thin ice in the future.
"If he sincerely refuses to rebel again and is loyal to the court, Ai Qing can use him as a helper. Otherwise, he can be eliminated along with other bandits of Luo Rucai Group!"
Yao Ji also reminded Sun Chuanting to be prepared. Once the opponent uses karate, he must immediately hit hard and speak as if he farted, so he must swallow it in his stomach.
"As long as Sun Aiqing concludes that Wang Guangen has played an important role in wiping out the Luo Rucai Group, he can report it to me, and I will promote him to the rank of Commander-in-Chief and confer on his mother the rank of second-grade imperial concubine. I will first write an edict, Please give Sun Aiqing to Wang Guangen, he will receive the best. If it is robbed by other bandits on the way, then Wang Guangen will not be loyal to the imperial court!"
In order to fish, you need to use bait, but if you want to completely control the bait, you need to put some bait first.
Among the surrendered bandit leaders, only Liu Guoneng and Li Wanqing were named commander-in-chief, and the others did not receive this treatment.
If Wang Guangen, who is determined to change his mind, is really willing to contribute to the court, there is no doubt that he will be the third general.
"Your Highness is wise!"
Sun Chuanting believed that the prince's counterintuitive trick was very clever. Whether it was true or false, Wang Guangen would act loyal to the court on the surface. Other bandit leaders would definitely become suspicious and would attack in groups. Wang Guangen would not be able to resist even if he didn't want to. .
"...Well, the counter-intentional plan needs to be more serious. Now I decree to make Wang Guangen the commander-in-chief, grant him five thousand taels of silver, and make his mother the second-grade imperial concubine. Once your beloved arrives in southern Shaanxi, Zhao Wang Guangen led his troops to come to receive the decree and receive the reward. If he dares to come, he is loyal, if not, he has something evil in his heart!"
Once they break away from the Luo Rucai group stationed in Junzhou and Yunxian and enter southern Shaanxi, Wang Guangen's troops will become rootless. If they are really willing to work hard for the court, they can only rely on Sun Chuanting.
The court also welcomes others who are willing to correct their evil ways, but it is difficult to take advantage of the opportunity to get the title of Commander-in-Chief. Even if they are sincere, they have to wait until they have made meritorious deeds on the battlefield before they can use it as a certificate of surrender.
The second batch of bandit leaders who were promoted to commander-in-chief had to use the heads of their companions as tributes. If anyone could present a decent "gift" now, a certain prince would immediately make him a commander-in-chief and reward him with thousands of taels of silver.
"Your Highness has great foresight, and I will follow the plan!"
Sun Chuanting also felt that this plan was very clever, and such an arrangement was foolproof. Moreover, Wang Guangen's recognition and reward would inevitably arouse the envy and jealousy of Luo Rucai and others. It is unknown whether others can concentrate on revolting.
"There is also Prime Minister Hui Deng. You can also fight for it, but Sun Aiqing's trust in Wang Guangen is 50%, and his trust in Hui Deng as Prime Minister cannot exceed 30%!"
Yaoji showed Sun Chuanting the resumes of Hui Dengxiang and the other three people in Xiaowuying to browse. Although these people were not as reliable as Wang Guangen, they could still be used.
After revolting, this guy accompanied Luo Rucai's group to kill Huguang Deputy Commander-in-Chief Yang Shien and Jingmen Guards Luo Anbang. The following year when they entered Sichuan, they were repulsed by Qin Liangyu's troops. In July, he was defeated by Zuo Liangyu and had to surrender to him.
Then he suddenly became the deputy commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty. He was first ordered to hunt down Zhang Xianzhong's troops, and then in the 16th year of Chongzhen, he repelled Li Zicheng's troops who attempted to attack Huguang. He died of illness two years later.
It can be seen from his resume that this guy is a very complicated kid. If the bandits are weak, he will help the bandits. If the army is not good enough, he will join the army. He is simply the spokesperson of the term "suppressing the strong and supporting the weak".
Generally speaking, they were similar to Jiang Xiang and Li Chengdong who later rebelled against the Qing Dynasty. A certain prince's eyes were tired of looking at these guys who were tossing back and forth, but they actually enjoyed it endlessly and had a great time.
"The title of Commander-in-Chief given to Wang Guangen is true. I have made a promise to Prime Minister Huiden first. If he can really work hard to participate in the battle to kill the bandits, the court will naturally fulfill its promise!"
It's easy to get promoted and make a fortune. Every time the bandits are suppressed, Prime Minister Hui Deng's troops take the lead. They fight three times in a row without escaping. They direct their men to move forward. You can basically trust this guy's sincerity. Otherwise, it will be just a second false surrender. Cut off his head. Just kick the ball.
"I obey the decree!"
Sun Chuanting understood that the prince hoped that Luo Rucai and others would have internal conflicts. It would be best to provoke large-scale internal strife, which would be more conducive to his troops' encirclement and suppression of this complex bandit.
If one of them is promoted rashly to the rank of commander-in-chief, that person will definitely become the target of public criticism. However, if two people are promoted, the Luo Rucai group will begin to split, with mutual suspicion and suspicion, and the trusting relationship of the past will definitely no longer be maintained.
"I will write an edict first, and Aiqing will write another letter and send it to Prime Minister Hui Deng. At that time, Aiqing and his troops can wait for the opportunity."
It's strange that this guy has no idea when he sees the letters between the prince and Sun Chuanting.
There were a large number of leaders who accepted the invitation from the imperial court, but there were definitely no more than five people who received personal attention from the prince.
If he can really be appreciated by the current prince, it is difficult to say whether Prime Minister Hui Deng will be willing to continue to follow Luo Rucai in his rebellion.
Luo Rucai, the master of the Lord of Heaven and Earth, is at best his eldest brother. If he is lucky enough to hold the crown prince's chicken thigh, he will surely prosper in the future, let alone Hui Deng, anyone can imagine that.
Thirteen families, including courier brother Li and "Big Zongzi", could only fight for three melons and two dates. Luo Rucai himself fought side by side with Li Zicheng, but in the end he ended up being trapped and killed by his brother.
Even if a certain prince really informed Luo Rucai of the situation, he would never believe it. In fact, before he was slaughtered, Luo Rucai did not believe that his brothers who had been fighting together for many years would kill him.
Li Zicheng has been hiding in Shangluo Mountain since he was beaten by Sun Chuanting, and there were only a few dozen people left. It is estimated that before the "big rice dumpling" attracts firepower to him, he will have to continue to lurk and wait for the opportunity to enter Henan.
Therefore, it is almost an impossible task for Luo Rucai to believe that he will eventually die at the hands of Li Zicheng, not to mention that the current situation has been completely changed.
Before the rogue bandits were about to revolt, more than 100,000 officers and soldiers were about to go south to Huguang and launch attacks against Luo Rucai's group and Zhang Xianzhong's troops from three main directions.
It's hard to say whose hands Luo Rucai will die in the end. He is probably very excitedly preparing for a big fight with Gucheng's "Zongzi" to give the court some color!
Among the four generals who supported the late Chongzhen Dynasty, Cao Wenzhao died in the battle while chasing down the bandits, Lu Xiangsheng died in the battle with the Qing army in the winter, Sun Chuanting was imprisoned by the fatuous emperor, and Hong Chengchou was sent to western Liaoning to guard against the Qing army's attack.
The entire Huguang area was under the control of Xiong Wencan, who was greedy for money and incompetent. Chen Hongfan, the commander-in-chief who was responsible for supervising Zhang Xianzhong's troops in Gucheng, was also bribed by him. Although Fang Kongzhen, the governor of Huguang, advocated preemptive strikes, the emperor was stubborn and refused to accept his remarks.
Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen favored Xiong Wencan's appeasement strategy, and the imperial court also believed that there was no need to encircle and suppress the surrendered bandits, and that there was a lack of troops in Huguang, Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Ru planned to launch a revolt on the Dragon Boat Festival.
Most of the bandit leaders regard their defection to the imperial court this time as a way of turning back from the bottom. As long as the time is right, they will inevitably launch a counterattack. Leaders who sincerely surrender are rare.
After both internal and external conditions have matured, it is the most appropriate time to launch a large-scale counterattack at the beginning of summer this year.
After repelling the local army and occupying Huguang, they can then take advantage of the situation and march into Henan and Sichuan.
In this way, there will be one rogue bandit in the three-thirds of the world, and maybe he can capture half of Baoming's country in one fell swoop.
Regardless of who will be crowned the Great Treasure in the end, the worst case scenario is to be the "side-by-side king". This is the dream of the leaders.
On one level, there is no difference between people and salted fish. In order to eat the bait, salted fish will risk their own lives and seek death. The same goes for humans, and they will drag other people along with them to commit suicide, even more so than salted fish!
When they think that the resistance and difficulties in realizing their dreams have become the smallest, they will take action after gearing up.
Correspondingly, Xiong Wencan is still dreaming that he can stabilize the world through appeasement. Little does he know that in the eyes of Zhang Xianzhong and others, this guy is just a fool who can be manipulated. .
The vassal kings whose fiefdoms were in the Huguang area even regarded their wealth as their lives even when the rogue bandits came to the city. Until the city was broken and their homes were confiscated, and they themselves were slaughtered as pigs. In the end, all the century-old family property hoarded in the mansion was used. Enemy.
Only a few people in the imperial court could clearly understand the current serious situation. The vast majority of people, including Bao Baodui, believed that the serious problem of rogue bandits had been eliminated, and remnants like Li Zicheng were not to be feared at all.
As a result, in less than two months, the Huguang area was raging with war. The officers and soldiers were beaten by the bandits who had been preparing for a long time, and they lost their armor and armor. Yang Sichang personally supervised the army to no avail. Instead, the situation took a turn for the worse until the Ming Dynasty was destroyed.
A certain prince could not let such a funny thing happen again, so he had to carry out this preemptive action in every detail, from the strength of troops, ordnance, pay, food and generals, to the march route, assembly area, attack time, and suppression tactics. Let the ground and right-hand man explain clearly.
It involves an investment plan of five to six million silver and involves more than 100,000 officers and soldiers. Of course, it cannot be concluded in a few words and just say "take it out and spend it". This matter is considered to be completely amusing. When we arrive in Huguang, Both of them are handsome and will probably lose the battle!
The preparations that need to be made in advance can be arranged properly by a certain prince, so that Sun and Hong will not be embarrassed in the slightest. The actual combat is left to them to take full responsibility. Yaoji is far away in the capital, let alone Will intervene at will.
If we still can't win, it can only mean that there will be a big fight tomorrow. A man who has traveled through thousands of years really can't defeat a son of a plane with magical powers to protect his body!
The son of this plane of time and space should be outside the customs and owned by Dorgon, who is known as the "cake-eating Tatar".
Everything is picked up ready-made, whether it is kings or beauties!
Wanli Jiangshan picked up Li Zicheng, and beautiful women picked up Huang Taiji.
Both of these are great gifts that can fall from the sky if you raise your neck and open your mouth.
In terms of the skill of eating cakes, Dorgon should be the first person since ancient times to have perfect points!
Yao Ji also wanted to eat the cake, so he finally got the box. When he opened it, he found a big colander full of holes. It was passed down from his ancestors and he couldn't get rid of it even if he wanted to!
After passing through, a certain prince will want to be a judge, an accountant, an inventor, a geographer, and if necessary, he will have to pretend to be mysterious...
He is a multi-talented person. He can't afford to do so much work just by receiving a salary, but he even exempted himself from the salary.
It can be said that if heaven is going to entrust a great responsibility to this people, they must first deceive themselves!
