Chapter 275 Ten towns fight for Shaanxi, dispatch troops to rescue Yunyang
Although the military affairs of Shaanxi and Gansu are governed by Governor Lu Daqi, the generals of each town (including deputy generals) also need to report relevant military information to the Military Affairs Office of the Chengdu Jianguo Government on a regular basis.
In addition, Chen Junchong, a civil servant who was involved in politics in northern Sichuan and the magistrate of Baoning, was actually responsible for the logistics coordination of the Ming Dynasty's front army in Shaanxi and Gansu, also needed to report military affairs to Chengdu regularly.
Regular reporting is a requirement of Chengdu, and the above-mentioned people have the right to report military information freely.
Finally, the spies sent secretly to the army and Shaanxi and Gansu areas by the Beizhen Fushima Department would also pass the important military secret memorials directly to Zhu Meiyu, the governor, or take charge of Zhu Meiyu, the Chengdu governor for her.
The above methods and procedures are enough to ensure that Zhu Ma and Chengdu have effective control over the Shaanxi-Gansu Front Army.
In addition to understanding the military information of Shaanxi and Gansu through the military information brought to the old house of Zhulin by Zhu Mei, Zhu Xi was like this today and listened to Li Yan's regular reports.
"Because of obstruction by our army, Li Guo, Gao Yigong and other puppet Shun remnants, the puppet Qing Dynasty currently only occupied a small part of Yulin Town, Yan'an Prefecture, Xi'an Prefecture, Qingyang Prefecture, Pingliang Prefecture, and Fengxiang Prefecture in Shaanxi.
.”
After reporting on the situation of the Qing army in Shaanxi, Li Yan continued: "Our army is currently deployed in Hanzhong Prefecture, and there are seven military towns in Fengyang Prefecture.
A governor-general who was trained by the Border Defense Army was drafted by Lu Daqi, and he had written to the Military Affairs Office to request the establishment of the Border Defense Army Xinjun Town.
The two are the Sichuan garrison towns where Li Ren and Wang Fuchen are generals, and the remaining three are the Shaanxi garrison towns, which are reorganized by the surrendered troops led by He Zhen, Luo Dai, Dang Meng'an and Guo Dengxian.
Among them, He Zhen and Dang Meng'an were the general and deputy general of the first town of Shaanxi garrison; Luo Dai and Guo Dengxian were the general and deputy general of the second town of Shaanxi garrison; Zhang Guangcai and Ma Xing were the third town of Shaanxi garrison
Town general, deputy general.
The fourth town of the Shaanxi Garrison Army was reorganized with the surrendered troops led by Bai Guangen and some of the descending troops led by He Zhen. Bai Guangen was appointed as the general and Yin Chengzuo was appointed as the deputy general."
Speaking of this, Li Yan paused.
Zhu Mai was recalling the information about the generals and deputy generals of each town that he had read.
Among the newly compiled garrisons in the four towns in Shaanxi, she knew very well that the generals of the first, second and fourth towns were very clear, but Zhang Guangcai and Ma Xing from the third town were reminded by Hao Guangming before she remembered him.
Zhang Guangcai was a leader of the former Daxi Army. He was approximately second to the governor of the Five Army under Zhang Xianzhong. He was similar to Wang Fuchen, but slightly worse, but he was higher than Yin Chengzuo's status.
Ma Xing was the former cavalry commander (Qian Zong) under Ma Ke. During the Chengdu Guards, he was promoted to the general of the general and later served as a battalion officer to lead troops to Baoning Prefecture to prepare for the war.
According to Zhu Ma, Lu Daqi arranged three military towns in Fengxiang Prefecture, and three military towns were also arranged in important places at the pass between Hanzhong Prefecture and Xi'an Prefecture.
His own bidding town is used as a reserve force and can be called at any time.
So, Zhu Ma said, "The Military Affairs Office has agreed to Lu Daqi's request and will be the tenth town of the border guards."
"Yes." Li Yan responded and continued: "Our army also has three towns of troops in Xing'an Prefecture.
Among them, Li Dingguo led the fourth town of the border defense army to recover Zhen'an, the southernmost part of Xi'an Prefecture, and stationed a battalion of troops to Qianyou Pass.
The troops in the other two towns were led by Zhang Hualong and Wang Xiang, and stationed in Xunyang and Hanyin.
In addition, Li Dingguo found out that our Ming Dynasty officials still had their trapped areas in Yunyang, so he asked to send troops to resolve the trap of Yunyang."
"Yunyang..."
After hearing this, Zhu Mai remembered the war in Yunyang in the late Ming Dynasty that Hao Guangming explained to her last year when she was in Beijing.
At that time, Hao Guangming proposed an idea that if Tongguan cannot pass, he would detour Yunyang and enter Xing'anzhou, and then from Xing'anzhou to Sichuan, and at the same time he could solve the difficulties of Yunyang.
But this path will take a lot of time, just a last resort.
Later, she and Hong Niangzi, Li Yan and others used the modern forged Dashun imperial edict to pass Tongguan and stopped thinking about Yunyang.
After Li Zicheng defeated Xiangyang in the 15th year of Chongzhen, he divided his troops to attack Yunyang Prefecture, and Yunyang became a trapped place.
Fortunately, Yunyang was also a dangerous place with mountains and rivers in the late Ming Dynasty, and it was easy to defend but difficult to attack. Jingxi divided the defense roads Xu Qiyuan and Wang Guangchang, and the Wang Guangxing brothers defended them with the advantage of the territory.
However, as the Shun Army became more and more powerful and even occupied Shaanxi again, Yunyang completely cut off news from the outside world.
Originally, in history, Wu Sangui relied on information disparity to Yunyang mistakenly thought that he was still a Ming general. With just one document, he tricked Xu Qiyuan and Wang Guangchang into the camp and forced the two to shave their hair and surrender to the Qing Dynasty.
Yunxi and Yunxian also fell into the hands of the Qing army.
After learning about this, Wang Guangxing did not surrender to the Qing Dynasty, but led his troops to retreat to Fangxian Tunjun, insisting on fighting against the Qing army, and later became one of the thirteen families in Kuidong.
Until 1665, twenty years later, there were enemies around him, and most of his subordinates wanted to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, and they were forced into a desperate situation. Wang Guangxing led his people to surrender to the Qing Dynasty.
Speaking of which, Wang Guangxing and Wang Guangchang were also from the Hubei Peasant Army. They were only surrendered by Xiong Wencan in 1639. They first defended Yunyang, and then insisted on respecting Ming and resisting the Qing Dynasty for 10 or 20 years. This is quite rare.
Since I knew these things, Zhu Mai was naturally going to solve the problem of Yunyang's trap.
She then asked, "The Sixth Town of the Border Guard should have completed the training, right?"
The troops of the Sixth Town of the Border Defense Army were mainly from the Shun Army captured by Li Dingguo in the Battle of Taiping County, Kuizhou.
At that time, nearly 30,000 Shun Army were captured. After being sent to Chengdu and after being elected, a part of them was organized into the fourth town of the Imperial Guards, and the sixth town of the Border Guards was formed.
Generally speaking, this kind of military town composed of elite soldiers can be used in one month of training.
Sure enough, Li Yan replied: "The training was completed at the end of February."
Zhu Mai asked again: "Then Yuan Zongdi, Niu Wancai, Liu Rukui, and Li Laiheng can complete further studies at Chengdu Military School?"
Li Yan said: "The monthly exam in mid-March is only Yuan Zongdi, Li Laiheng passed the exam, and his grades are very average."
"That's how it is," Zhu Ma hesitated.
Hao Guangming, who had been listening, saw this and said, "We cannot have too high requirements for generals from the peasant army from the beginning. Since we are in a hurry to hire people, we might as well put them in order first."
Hearing this, Zhu Ma said to Li Yan: "Then let Yuan Zongdi be the general of the Sixth Town of the Border Defense Army, Li Laiheng is the general of the first battalion, and Governor Li chose another deputy general of the Sixth Town who was born in the official army.
Then send the sixth town to the north to the town to replace the defense, and then let Li Dingguo lead the fourth town of the border defense army to resolve the difficulties in Yunyang."
Li Yan originally wanted to remind Zhu Ma that he could not send the Sixth Town of the Border Defense Army to Yunyang.
Xiangyang is east of Yunyang, and now it has become the base of the Shun Army, and Li Zicheng is also there.
Although the Sixth Town of the Border Defense Army was reorganized and had been placed in many middle- and low-level officers who were not from the Shun Army, no one could guarantee that the Sixth Town would not engage in Li Zicheng again when he arrived in Yunxi.
The best way is not to give Di Liu Town, Yuan Zongdi and Li Laiheng the chance to make mistakes.
So after Zhu Ma said that, Li Yan said, "The country is wise."
Zhu Ni, who was sitting next to the throne behind the curtain when she heard these familiar four words and almost couldn't help laughing.
Every time Li Yan and Zhu Mai have a video conference, "Supervising the country's wisdom" is definitely one of the high-frequency words.
Those who don’t know listened to it, I’m afraid that Li Yan was a slander who was flattering himself.
After talking about Xing'an Prefecture and Yunxi, Zhu Ma asked: "How much has you discovered the situation in the western Shaanxi-Gansu region?"
Li Yan said: "In addition to the remnants of the puppet Shun army such as Li Guo and Gao Yigong, there are also the former general of the Ming Dynasty, Niu Chenghu, who was the Lintao general of the Ningxia Wei.
It is reported that after the puppet Shun Army entered Shaanxi in the 16th year of Chongzhen, this person surrendered to Li Zicheng and was appointed as the general of the Ningxia general, and was also named Qingshui Bo.
The Beizhen Fushi has sent someone to secretly persuade him to surrender anyway, but there is no definite news yet."
A cow turns into a tiger?
Zhu Niu posted a text through another mobile phone, asking Hao Guangming to search for information and send it over.
Hao Guangming first checked the information about Du Niang and passed it over.
After reading it, Zhu Mai found that although Niu Chenghu surrendered to Li Zicheng very quickly, he was very resistant to surrendering to the Qing Dynasty. In the end, the Qing Dynasty was forced to surrender by his subordinates, so he felt relieved.
As long as the cow turns into a tiger and does not surrender to the Qing Dynasty, it is not very important to return to the Ming Dynasty anyway.
After all, she will sooner or later win the remnants of the Shun Army such as Li Guo and Gao Yigong, let alone a bull and a tiger?
Li Yan saw Zhu Mai on the big screen looking at it again, and then continued: "Suzhou, Ganzhou, because Xining Wei was occupied by the pseudo-Shun general Xin Sizhong, so at present, whether it is the Beizhen Fushishi or the Lu Shishi, they are still there.
