Chapter 470 Military situation
The big tent was filled with Zhu Hongsan's words, and all the officials listened without saying a word to Zhu Hongsan cursed the emperor before the Ming Dynasty.
"Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Yijun, Zhu Youxiao, do these emperors have good people? What does the country make them harm? Now the Qing Dynasty has brought the Qing Dynasty into the pass, and the Chinese people are suffering from the sufferings. I heard that only 400 people were left to be killed by the bastard Duoduo. Isn't this Zhu Youjian's fault? Everyone fought for the emperor before, why no one fought for the emperor at this time? It's not that the emperor can't be a fish and a commoner, and his life is still in danger. The bastards of the King of Yan began to shirk. I heard that King Lu actually opened the Hangzhou gate to surrender to the Qing army in order not to be an emperor. I will issue an imperial edict now. All the royal families enfeoffed by Hongguang were deposed as commoners, so that these bastards could eat themselves!"
When the ministers heard the emperor say this, they couldn't help but complain: Why should Hongguang's previous titles be abolished? How good would it be to be abolished? Isn't it because your title of King Chu was granted by Hongguang? But just think about it in my mind, and I absolutely dare not say it. In fact, there are not many vassal kings left in the Ming Dynasty. Except for some lieutenants of Fengguo, generals of the auxiliary state, and above the county princes were killed by the Qing army and the peasant army. Zhu Hongsan said this today because he did not want to give the poor Fengguo lieutenants of the poor.
In the war in the late Ming Dynasty, although many royal families died, they could not resist the base. Many low-level royal families still went to Guangdong to seek help. Zhu Hongsan himself was not enough to spend money, so he could take care of these poor relatives. In the past, he only gave each of them a few taels of silver, but now he has saved these taels of silver by taking advantage of the opportunity to get angry.
Tong Yangjia, who was standing in the civil service chief, heard the emperor say this and quickly stood up and flattered him, "Your Majesty is right. Tianqi, Chongzhen ruined the country, and Wanliheng is not a good thing, so there are not many good emperors in the King of Yan. Now, your Majesty needs to take the banner of anti-Qing and restoring the Ming Dynasty alone, and lead the Chinese people all over the world to eliminate the Qing Dynasty!"
As soon as Tong Yangjia said this, there was a lot of discussion in the big tent. You, Tong Yangjia, are too bad, and you don’t want to flatter you. You, Tong Yangjia, are not very knowledgeable, and you used to be a scholar, who gave you your fame? Isn’t it because of Emperor Chongzhen? Now you have to burn bridges across the river, scold the chef after eating, and beat monks after reciting scriptures. It’s too unauthentic.
Other officials were not afraid to speak, but Ma Jiyuan ignored these things. As Zhu Hongsan's four early counselors, his status as Tong Yangjia was still above Tong Yangjia.
"Mr. Tong is so shameless. How did your scholar's fame come from? Did your fame come from cheating back then?"
"Mr. Ma, I forgot that you have been the governor of Emperor Chongzhen. It seems that you still have a lot of feelings for Chongzhen!"
Tong Yangjia's words are insidious, but Ma Jiyuan is not afraid of Tong Yangjia's tricks.
"Tong Yangjia, how can I judge this official by the emperor? You, a deputy in the cabinet, are not qualified to comment on me!"
When Zhu Hongsan saw that the two old guys were about to start fighting again, he quickly stood up and said, "Sir, don't argue, sir, I know what the two gentlemen mean. Both of them are my old friends, so don't fight! Let's discuss military affairs first today!"
Zhu Hongsan also knew the grudges of these two old guys. He was afraid that these stinky old guys would fight again, so he quickly stopped his long speech and asked the Jinyiwei to come out to introduce the military situation.
Wang Xian, who was standing in the last row, participated in the combat meeting today on behalf of Qian Lide. He originally had no need to stand at the end according to his official position, but yesterday he was taken away by the emperor and was demoted to a second level, from a third-rank Tongzhi to a fourth-rank assistant. Fortunately, he was still a senior official. He could not wear a flying fish suit when attending the meeting today, so he could only wear the official uniform of an ordinary military officer, so he naturally stood behind.
Wang Xian heard the emperor ask him to introduce the military information behind him, and quickly stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Wang Xian, the assistant of the Jinyiwei Guard, our commander and commander are seriously ill. I will introduce the military information of Zhejiang and Nanzhili to you!"
Some of the senior officials present were well-informed and knew that Qian Lide was beaten last night and had a full bloom of peach blossoms. Some of them were full of doubts on their faces. When they got off the boat yesterday, they were still watching Commander Qian be in good condition. Why did they get seriously ill all night?
Seeing Wang Xian stand up, Zhu Hongsan said: "Wang Xian, I invest a lot of money in eastern Zhejiang and southern Zhili every year for your Jinyiwei. Let me tell you about the situation in Zhejiang and southern Zhili!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Wang Xian coughed and cleared his throat after receiving the order, and began to speak.
"Your Majesty, Jinyiwei, and Zhejiang is stationed in the south of Zhili, Shen Zhu, the State Guard of the State Guard of Zhejiang Province. Starting from August, the Qing army in various parts of Zhejiang Province began to gather in Nanjing. According to our ambushing in Nanjing, there were about 30,000 Qing troops. Under the leadership of Ma Guozhu, the governor of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty, took a boat north and went to Anqing. There were also news from the northern eyeliner that Duoduo, the Prince of Yu of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, led 80,000 Manchu and Mongolian coalition forces south in early August, and it was probably already on the south bank of the Yangtze River. The Qing army in Nanjing probably went north to meet with Duoduo. There was also the latest military newspaper that was spread to Zhoushan on September 15th. Duoduo gathered 120,000 troops in Anqing, most of which were the main forces of Manchu and Mongolian. He captured Jiujiang Prefecture and rushed to Nanchang."
Zhu Hongsan listened to Wang Xian's military newspaper and tapped the chair handle with his fingers. Unexpectedly, Duoduo took all his troops to Nanchang. He brought his main force to fight with them in Nanzhili. Could it be that the Qing Dynasty did not want the wealthy Nanzhili?
"Sir, let me tell you why the Qing Dynasty abandoned Nanzhili and insisted on attacking Jiangxi, which was not very important? Isn't this a waste of one's attention?"
Tong Yangjia smiled and stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Nanzhili is a piece of fat in our eyes, but it is a piece of waste in the eyes of the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty occupied Nanjing in May of the first year of Hongguang three years ago. Until now, the entire Nanzhili and Zhejiang East have not had an effective rule except for a few prefectures. A large number of gentry opposed the Qing Dynasty's head shaving order, so it is impossible to collect grain taxes in this place. But Jiangxi is different. Jiangxi has no big battle at all. In addition, the Poyang Lake area is a hometown of fish and rice, and Huguang has the allusion that "Huguang is mature and the world is full". Naturally, the Qing Dynasty must focus its attention on Jiangxi, which is relatively easy to fight!"
Li Zhijiu, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, was in southern Zhili and knew the local situation very well. He nodded when he heard Tong Yangjia say this and said, "Mr. Tong really hit the nail on the head, and said the embarrassment of the Qing Dynasty in southern Zhili and eastern Zhejiang. Your Majesty, I have a little more to add!"
"Please say it, Lord Li!"
"Mr. Tong said it from the perspective of military ration replenishment. On the other hand, it also prompted the Qing Dynasty to choose Jiangxi as a breakthrough point. This is the important position of Jiangxi. Jiangxi is located in the hinterland of Jiangnan and has land channels with several provinces in Jiangnan. It can enter Guangdong if it occupies south of Jiangxi, threaten Guangxi and Huguang if it occupies the west, and Fujian and Zhejiang if it occupies the geographical location of Jiangxi. Therefore, if the Qing Dynasty wants to attack us and Guangxi at the same time, it must occupy Jiangxi."
It should be said that Zhu Hongsan is full of talents. In addition to being a slap, these guys are also good at analyzing the enemy situation. Zhu Hongsan nodded repeatedly when he heard the analysis of Tong Yangjia and Li Zhi. It seemed that he was thinking too much. He originally brought more than 100,000 main divisions to Nanzhili to fight with the Qing Dynasty, but he did not expect Duoduo to go to Jiangxi.
Zhu Hongsan pondered for a while and asked, "Everyone, I originally planned to fight the Qing Dynasty in Nanzhili, so I ordered Qian Yong to take two divisions on land, and I personally led three divisions to Zhejiang, but I didn't expect the enemy to run away. How do you think we should fight?"
Tong Yangjia stood up and said, "Your Majesty, our entire plan was formulated around how to occupy Hangzhou and then attack Nanjing by land. Although there are not many Qing troops in Zhejiang now, they cannot easily change the marching plan. So I think it is better to fight according to the original plan!"
Ma Jiyuan has always been incompatible with Tong Yangjia. If you sing east and I insist on singing west. Now, when Tong Yangjia is preparing to attack Hangzhou, I quickly stood up and retorted: "Your Majesty, I think that since there are not many Qing troops in Nanzhili and Zhejiang, and our navy is strong, why not send a fleet to the estuary of the Yangtze River and directly attack Nanjing? If Nanjing captures the surrounding prefectures and counties, wouldn't this be better?"
When Tong Yangjia saw Ma Jiyuan opposed him, he also retorted: "Master Ma, don't you know that the Qing Dynasty set up three iron chains on the Yangtze River? How did your navy pass? There is also this time the army went to fight more than 100,000 people. It's not that you fought a bandit bandit in Luzon. What if the navy fails when it sits on the ship? Can you afford to pay the responsibility?"
Tong Yangjia's words immediately offended the navy. He was dissatisfied with Tong Yangjia's belittling his naval admiral Zhang Quan, but he didn't dare to have any opinions about Tong Yangjia. Tong Yangjia was in charge of the military and it would be enough for you to make some damage to the naval naval ship construction.
Zhang Quan did not dare to refute Tong Yangjia, but he dared to belittle the army. The navy and the army were originally mortal enemies.
"Your Majesty, I will guarantee that the Navy will definitely complete the mission. The Army brothers just sit on the boat and wait to receive the credit!"
As the leader of the army in Zhoushan, Zhao Guodong was very unhappy when he heard Zhang Quan say this. What? You navy is awesome?
"Zhang Quan, don't brag about it, your navy will conquer the world?" Zhao Guodong is very old in Zhu Hongsan's military system, probably only Qian Yong can compete with it. Zhang Quan blushed and didn't dare to talk back.
Ma Jiyuan has been the governor of Luzon for more than two years and has a good relationship with the navy. Today, he saw that the navy was defeated and naturally had to stand up for the navy. However, Ma Jiyuan respected his identity and did not say anything to Zhao Guodong, but then fired a cannon to Tong Yangjia.
"Tong Yangjia, you are from Liaodong. I heard that your Tong family is still a big family in Liaodong. One of your relatives is still a high-ranking official in the Qing court. What bad ideas did you urge His Majesty to take the land? Do you want to offer a letter of fame to your relative?"
