Chapter 93: No regrets (eight)
The Southern Gansu region connects several provinces, and is also an important military location where heavy troops are stationed to assist in the defense of each province. The capital city of Ganzhou is the heart of the Southern Gansu region, just like Guangzhou is to Guangdong and Fuzhou is to Fujian.
The Ming army's earlier series of offensives encircled Ganzhou's capital city from the east and south. The peripheral Tingzhou mansion, Nanxiong mansion, and Nan'an mansion had all fallen into the control of the Ming army. Now Ganzhou's capital city is about to descend.
In the entire southern Jiangxi region, there was only one Chenzhou Prefecture left in the hands of the Qing court, and that was all.
The strategic significance there is far lower than that of Nanchang, and Chen Kai does not have the obsessive-compulsive disorder that Liu Wenxiu showed in the Battle of Baoning. Once the capital city of Ganzhou is captured here, the next target will naturally be Nanchang and Hong Chengchou.
Choose one of the two.
"What if I want both?"
Late at night, the capital city of Ganzhou has been secured, and the Ming army has completed the work of clearing out the remnants of the Qing army in the city. While the officials fled, the local officials did not hesitate to change their gates and do their best to calm the people.
They tried their best, fearing that Chen Kai would be displeased and asked the soldiers to chop them into pieces.
Out of fear of power, they no longer have the brain capacity to think about whether they are worthy of dirtying the Iron Man Army's sword, but looking at their current efforts, no one will laugh at them, just like they also
It's the same as not verbalizing this concern.
After the victory of the First World War, the Ming army in Ganzhou has become a general trend. Among them, there is no lack of the up and down operations of the Ganzhou Tiandihui, which allows the Ming army to move westward and northward. More than 20,000 soldiers from the two groups, plus a large number of auxiliary troops, are responsible for the supply of food and grass.
Demand, even if we need to cross the mountains of western Fujian, face the multiple difficulties of the Qing army interfering with shipping in northern Guangdong, and need to provide food from thousands of miles away, we can rely on the warehouses of the mutual aid association to achieve effective supplementation, instead of falling into the "different people are not the same".
The embarrassment of "eclipse again".
"The food and grass provided by the mutual aid association and the people will be subsidized in the form of tax exemptions and corvee services in the future. I will not let the righteous people suffer."
"Sir's instructions should be passed on to the students themselves, so that the gentry in Ganzhou and the people know who they can truly rely on and trust."
The members of the Tiandihui are still busy with the logistics work of the war in various counties. Tao Qian and Chen Kai who accompanied the army have already met when they returned to the front line of Ganzhou. Now that the capital city of Ganzhou has been settled, many things can be discussed openly.
. Of course, Chen Kai, who exists in the Tiandihui, still plans to interview Zheng Chenggong specifically after the war is over, because there are many things in it that are difficult to explain clearly based on letters alone.
He was still speaking in an official tone, but people in Huangshan also knew that Chen Kai had trained a group of Jiangxi gentry to return to his hometown to lurk and accumulate strength. Tao Qian was one of them. And these people were also developing other like-minded people.
This war produced great benefits.
After talking about this, Chen Kai talked about some other matters. Now it is no longer the past. Ganzhou Prefecture has been recovered, and this is no longer an area controlled by the Qing court. The latent work is completed, and the next stage of work will turn into assistance.
The local government is responsible for restoring people's livelihood and accumulating greater strength. These tasks are safer than hiding and breaking out, but being busy is better.
"For those righteous men, I will make arrangements as appropriate after meeting with Guoxing."
Huangshan has already done this before by granting officials and making wishes. However, other gentry members were fine. Most of the members of the Tiandihui didn't really take this to heart, because Chen Kai had hinted at it earlier, hinting at regaining lost territory.
After that, they need to take on greater responsibilities, such as serving the country and the people. The Tiandi Society has its own organization and has some basic beliefs, such as fighting against the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, coupled with Chen Kai's own prestige, especially after this battle
, the illustrious military exploits of killing thousands of Manchurian Eight Banners, the members of the Tiandihui are naturally more determined to develop within this organization. Under the east wind that the organization will surely become stronger and stronger, while achieving the club's staged goals,
Realize some personal visions.
Chen Kai has always believed that selfishness is not terrible. As long as it is properly guided, it can benefit the country and the nation, and it can also benefit the organization and individuals. After all, if the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if the people are careful, there will be no disciples. You cannot
I expect everyone to be like Yue Fei, Wen Tianxiang, Hai Rui, and Qi Jiguang.
After appeasing the members of the Ganzhou Tiandihui, Chen Kai could stabilize the hearts of the people in this area. With a stable rear, he could continue the war. At least, he did not intend to end the war so easily.
Especially when Li Dingguo escorted his troops into Yunnan, he was bound to take on greater responsibilities.
The original idea of choosing one approach soon turned into two approaches in the excitement of the victory. Chen Kai decided to use Huangshan as the commander-in-chief of the right admiral to oversee the left and right towns, to assist in the suppression of the middle town, to assist in the suppression of the front town, and to assist in the suppression of the left.
The troops of the nine towns, including Youzhen, Xiaoqi Town, and Houjin Town and Tieqi Town, which were originally affiliated to the Beishang Group, went northward, passing through Ji'an Prefecture to Nanchang Prefecture. At the same time, Ke Chenshu, the left admiral, led the left and right commanders to suppress the town and Houqi Town.
The soldiers and horses of these three towns gathered together with the troops of Zuozhen, Zhongquan Town, Huqi Town, Guangdong Fubiao, Ma Bao and Wang Han from Yingde County to go south to fight Hong Chengchou.
As a result, the group going north was strengthened in terms of military strength, and took advantage of the victory, striving to sweep across Jiangxi Province. Although the number of troops going south was small, Hong Chengchou's history was to penetrate deep into the hinterland of the Ming army. In addition to converging with Yingde County, Ke Chenshu
In addition to the troops, they can also assist in the suppression of Hou Town, guard Zhong Town and Qianchong Town in Guangzhou, Sanshui and Qingyuan. Even if they only combine the troops in Yingde County, Hong Chengchou can also achieve a military advantage. What's more, Chen
Kai even reorganized the Iron Man Army named Team B of the Directly Affiliated Battalion of Guangdong Fubiao, just to let Hong Chengchou drink this pot of strong wine that made Suk Saha almost vomit out two ounces of blood.
From the capture of Tingzhou Prefecture and Nanxiong Prefecture to the joint attack on Ganzhou, the Ming army basically never stopped. After the war, it was inevitable for the soldiers to be exhausted, so before the two armies went to their respective battlefields,
It is inevitable that some time is needed for necessary rest and recuperation. Otherwise, the soldiers will become resentful and resentful, which will ultimately be detrimental to the war.
During this period, Chen Kai had already made a work plan to appease and encourage. At the same time, he was also trying to block information from Guangdong in the south to prevent Hong Chengchou from getting the news in advance and causing Ke Chenshu to be in vain, which would not be good.
At the same time, the two armies are all out. Chen Kai will also lead the Guard Qianzhen and Guard Right Town to sit in Ganzhou Fucheng after the army sets out to act as a link and support for the two armies. He took over the Nangan Governor's Yamen in Yiyonggui
, Chen Kai sat there, prepared all the plans, and discussed them with the generals. His chilling gaze was directed towards the north and south at the same time.
………………
Ji'an Prefecture is adjacent to the capital city of Ganzhou where the Ming and Qing Dynasties gathered tens of thousands of troops to compete. The atmosphere of war is stronger here than in other places in Jiangxi.
The warehouses of the prefecture and county yamen are constantly on the front line of shipments, especially as the army led by the Eight Banners of Manchuria went south to provide assistance, the transportation tasks here have become even busier. The county has invited Zou Nan many times, hoping that the mutual aid association can
Provide more manpower and material resources. In this regard, Zou Nan has already discussed this with other members of the Ji'an Tiandihui, but this time he in turn suggested that the magistrate seize the time to plunder food and grass from ordinary people. As for
The reason is very simple, lest those unscrupulous people flee and draw water from a bamboo basket in vain.
Of course, it is impossible to lose all the mutual aid. After all, Ganzhou Tiandi will be put under control, and there has been news from there that there are signs that the mutual aid there will turn to support the Ming army. The war is chaotic and the time is still short. The news
It’s not very clear yet. This is also to dispel the suspicion of some local officials.
They were still making final preparations. Soon, news spread to Jishui County, saying that the reinforcements led by Suk Saha and Hu Yousheng's defenders went out of the city to fight in the field. As a result, they were defeated by the Ming army in a battle and fled in embarrassment.
After leaving Ganzhou Fucheng, he has now fled to Ji'an Fucheng and is waiting for help.
"God bless the Ming Dynasty, God bless the Ming Dynasty!"
Friends from Nanchang were still waiting for news here. When they heard this, they cheered for joy. If Zou Nan hadn't forcibly covered his mouth, the whole hospital would have known about it.
Zou Nan was just as excited about this. However, compared to his good friend, he was already quite old. He had experienced many things, so he naturally had more experience, and also had better mental endurance.
Stronger. Therefore, the members of the Tiandihui in Ji'an Prefecture have always been led by him, and even Nanchang is vaguely looking up to him. Hearing such good news here, he was extremely excited at first, but secondly
The reaction was suddenly silent, making the friend immediately confused.
"Brother Zou?"
"This thing doesn't seem right."
Frowning, he couldn't help but keep thinking. The abnormal smell gradually became systematic as the thoughts unfolded. After a long time, the friend finally got an idea that sounded very reasonable.
"Back then, when Jin Shenghuan defeated Ganzhou, he withdrew directly to Nanchang. Now that the Tatar soldiers have lost all of Ganzhou, they just retreated to Fucheng. It's definitely wrong for them to be so confident!"
In fact, the two cannot be compared similarly - Jin Shenghuan's hometown is Nanchang, the Qing army came from Jiujiang, and the troops were not advancing in Nangandun. If there is danger at the base, of course he must go back to defend. And this time Chen Kai
But they came from Guangdong to seize Ganzhou Fucheng. Whether the Qing army retreated to Ji'an Fucheng or Nanchang Fucheng was not inevitable. However, Zou Nan couldn't think of a suitable comparison for a while, and besides, he had thought of this from the beginning.
, now that I say it, it feels even more natural.
However, such remarks also aroused deep thought among friends. Zou Nan remembered that Chen Kai mentioned in his lectures that he should not act recklessly when his mind is hot. This is very detrimental to latent work. Calm down, calm down, calm down again, it is easy.
Suppressing this excitement, Zou Nan decided to go to Ji'an Fucheng in person to see clearly what the situation was like there with his own eyes.
He did what he said, and set off early the next morning, rushing to Ji'an Fucheng. There, it was always more tense than Jishui County, which had Fucheng as a barrier to the south. The interrogation was quite strict along the way, and it was Zou Nan's.
His status as a candidate did not allow him to receive much preferential treatment.
We finally arrived at Fucheng, where there was already a sea of defeated soldiers. The market was in chaos. There were defeated soldiers everywhere who had lost all their weapons and armor. Although they were in a state of disarray, they were still robbing the people of their belongings.
He was still unreasonable. He was beaten severely at every turn, and the local government officials and green camp turned a blind eye to this. As for the generals who withdrew, the officials and the local green camp of Ji'an Prefecture were also very busy. Naturally, they were also very busy.
There is not much time to pay attention to these necessary venting.
Zou Nan followed his memory and found an old friend who lived in the city. This man had a close relationship with Qing officials in Ji'an Prefecture, and he was quite weak-tempered. He did not dare to participate in the anti-Qing movement in the first place, so he has never rashly
Go to absorb him. Here, after finding this person, Zou Nan came under the guise of visiting a friend, and asked some indirect questions about the Qing army's defeat. In order not to alert the enemy, he spent three days.
It took time to sort out all the clues.
"The loss of soldiers in Jiangxi Tibiao and Jiujiang Town is not too many, but it is still quite a lot. The main losses are in the local Green Camp towns in southern Jiangxi. Many battalion heads are now only in name. In addition, the Eight Banners of Manchuria have been damaged.
More than half of them were defeated by a group of armored infantry. Hey, sir, you are really ruthless." After getting excited, Zou Nan suddenly found that the previous question had not been answered at all, but it made him even more incomprehensible.
"After being beaten into such a miserable state, he still wants to defend Ji'an City. What on earth is Suk Saha thinking?"
………………
The members of the Tiandihui in Ji'an Prefecture are still waiting for Zou Nan's inspection results, and even waiting for Chen Kai's order. The situation is great, but their inner anxiety is inevitable.
Equally anxious is the heavy military group of the Ming army in the middle. Being in the hinterland of northern Guangdong, the southwest meridian is just taking advantage of the Ming army's massive march northward to realize the current threat with the empty troops in northern Guangdong. However, going deep into the hinterland will eventually threaten
They went deep into the hinterland, and now they are in a confrontation with the Ming army in Yingde County. In Qingyuan County, which they had harassed to the south, the general named Zhou Quanbin seemed to have seen their intentions early on, and he defended there tightly without giving any
It's too damn tight to leave even the slightest chance.
Late at night, the Chinese army tent at the Qing army's main camp south of Huangshui River was still brightly lit. At his age, Hong Chengchou had slept much less than when he was young, but at this hour, he was still standing.
In front of the map table, he bent over, squinted his eyes, and turned over and over in the light of the lamp, thinking about the current war situation.
In the final analysis, this war was a reshuffle of forces in Guangxi, Guangdong and Southern Jiangxi after Li Dingguo's westward advance. The Qing army wanted to take advantage of the situation, while Chen Kai wanted to take the opportunity to gnaw the hard bones of Southern Jiangxi.
With a lot of thought, the result was that the three battlefields of Wuzhou, Ganzhou and Yingde County were involved in the attack and defense between the enemy and ourselves.
All this has been in Hong Chengchou's mind since the beginning. The forces of both sides are intertwined in this vast area, and tens of thousands of troops are attacking between the advance and retreat. At the moment, Wuzhou is attacked by the Qing Dynasty and defended by the Ming Dynasty, while Ganzhou is exactly the same.
On the contrary, only Yingde County has a pattern of confrontation between the two sides.
In the midst of a confrontation, Hong Chengchou's purpose was naturally to contain Chen Kai so as to gain advantages on the other two battlefields. No matter how this advantage was achieved, it was worth the risk. But today is different.
Normally, or even after nightfall, looking at this map, the sense of smell accumulated over the years made Hong Chengchou slightly shaken in his earlier confidence, so much so that he couldn't even think of sleeping that night.
Come half a minute.
