Chapter 95: Collapse (6)(1/2)
Hong Chengchou.
It stands to reason that at this time, he should be in Changsha to control military supplies to meet the needs of battlefields on all fronts; or he should go deep into Guizhou and sit nearby to stabilize the morale of the main force of the Qing army; even if, as the rumors say, his eyesight disease has worsened,
He was recuperating in the Jinglue Yamen. But then he suddenly appeared in Fuzhou, in the Qing army's camp, and there was an emergency military situation at the exit. What kind of emergency military situation could force him to sneeze like this and the entire southern land was shocked?
The person who wanted to tremble came all the way to tell him, and Da Su's first thought was that the plan to send troops would probably fail.
He hurriedly got off the carriage. If he had not been supported by his own soldiers, he would have staggered and fallen to the ground. As soon as he stood firm, the sixty-two-year-old old manager immediately threw away his soldiers and took three steps together.
The one who took two steps caught up.
"Old manager?"
"Lord Zhang Jia, this is a trick of the traitor Chen Kai. You must not act rashly!"
Chen Kai, Chen Kai again.
Dasu really hated hearing this name and all the persuasion that prevented him from going to deal with this hateful guy. In an instant, the sarcastic sentence "Are you a Han dog that scares the barbarian named Chen?"
It's on the tip of my tongue. If not, the name of the man in front of me is Hong Chengchou, if not for the fact that before Da Su left Beijing, his old brother Obai repeatedly warned him not to be rude to others, if not for the emperor's master trusting him to the point of being partial.
At this point, these words just blurted out.
"Why did Lao Jinglue say this?"
He suppressed his temper and tried not to make his tone too sharp. Of course Dasu understood that the army was about to set off, but Hong Chengchou suddenly came to stop it. More importantly, although he did not explicitly say that he wanted to hide such a major event from Hong Chengchou, he did not
Discuss with him in advance. Apparently, the guys from the Southwest Meridian Bureau secretly sent people to inform Hong Chengchou that they happened to meet Hong Chengchou, who had expected it. With the old fox's human skills and sophistication, he must have figured it out by being so blatant.
What was in his mind, he revealed his trump card and made it clear that even if he insisted on going his own way today, the Southwest Meridian Marker might not go as he wished!
At this moment, Dasu's face was full of displeasure. Hong Chengchou sighed and handed over several pieces of information. The former took it doubtfully, threw away the letter, and a piece of text was exposed to his sight. Soon
Suddenly, the famous Manchurian general's pupils expanded rapidly, and then he pulled out the next piece of information, and then the next piece. After reading it carefully, he looked at the latter with wide eyes.
"Old Manager, when did this all happen?"
Hearing this, Hong Chengchou shook his head helplessly: "Ever since Chen Kai set up the consultation bureau in Guangdong, intelligence collection has never been the same. When did those towns leave Xindi? I really can't do anything.
But the destination is definitely Jiangxi."
Hearing this, Dasu was silent for a moment, and quickly invited Hong Chengchou into the Chinese army's tent. He dug out the map of Guangdong, used the intelligence to find the original locations of the Ming armies, and then compared it with the current situation.
According to Hong Chengchou, they quietly left the station and their target must be Jiangxi. In other words, their target must be him.
"The Fourth Town of Dubiao, the Fifth Town of Dubiao, Houjin Town, Tieqi Town, and Wang Xing's headquarters. What does Wang Xing do?"
Compared with the towns established by Zheng Chenggong and Chen Kai, the name of General Huben Wang Xing is really not very conspicuous. Hong Chengchou told the old stories of Wang Xing's army, and Da Su's eyes soon showed a trace of contempt.
But when he turned to look at those towns, his contempt turned to worry again. Until Hong Chengchou told the rumor that "Wang Xing's headquarters is likely to be reorganized into the sixth town of Dubiao", this
The corner of the Manchurian general's mouth couldn't help but twitch, almost invisible.
"According to the establishment of the pirates, these, plus Yingbing Town and Liwu Town, this is 19,000 soldiers. That barbarian Chen Kai is really good at planning."
Nineteen thousand soldiers, this does not include the number of Dubiao Second Town or Houchong Town. If they are included, even if only Ke Chenmei and Cai Qiao come, it will be an army of more than 20,000.
.In comparison, Da Su's invasion force, with only 11,000 soldiers, was twice the strength. To put it bluntly, Chen Kai had never had such a surplus in more than ten years of fighting.
They just used simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division to calculate the battle, and nine times out of ten they would never return it.
"This guy is really insidious!"
Almost breaking his steel teeth, Dasu said these words word for word. All the generals present, whether it was the Eight Banners or the Green Camp, felt chilled to the bone.
The Fourth Town of Dubiao and the Fifth Town of Dubiao are training outside Guangzhou. Houjin Town is on the front line of Wuzhou. Tieqi Town recently returned to Ganzhou from Ji'an for rest and recuperation. Wang Xing's troops are stationed in Wencun. Chen Kai came from Sanshan and Wuyue.
They collected these troops and sneaked them to the battlefield in Jiangxi. They also specially asked Huang Wu to cross the Baita River with great fanfare and kicked open the door of the Qing army in Fuzhou. He made it clear that he was waiting for them to close the door before using the knife.
All this, to put it bluntly, is the ebb and flow of strength between the two sides in the southeastern battlefield. Not only the military strength, but also the people's morale. Otherwise, so many Ming troops entering Jiangxi from Guangdong would probably have passed through it on the way.
In Fujian, even if you carefully hide your whereabouts, there will always be clues. However, the Qing army has only now received the news. Presumably, even those forces and figures who had some involvement with the Qing court earlier had a great victory in Quzhou.
In the background, I suddenly discovered that my family had already become intolerable to the Manchus.
Thinking of this, Da Su's previous anger has disappeared, but the current situation is urgent. The Ming army has broken through the Qing army's defense line. Even if they refuse to take the bait, Chen Kai can also throw those troops in through this gap.
Go in, tear open a bigger hole, and destroy the entire Jiangxi Qing army.
On the battlefield in the southeast, the Qing troops in the three provinces of Zhili, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi alone were obviously unable to make a comeback. This was a gap in hard power! All they could count on was that either the Eight Banners Army in Beijing would go south or the southwest
There is no other way for the army to turn around. Everyone here is discerning, and naturally they understand the current situation - this is no longer a one-sided issue on the Jiangxi battlefield, but a key issue concerning who between the Ming and Qing Dynasties can truly become the master of East Asia.
Sex problem!
"What does the old manager think should be done?"
As soon as the words came out, there was no need for Hong Chengchou to say anything, Dasu already knew it. Thinking about it, this is actually understandable. Since Sun Kewang surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, this has been an unshakable strategy. Even if Hong Chengchou, who played a leading role, died suddenly,
The continuity of the policy will also force the successor officials to implement the established strategy. In Jiangxi, it is nothing more than defense, defense, defense again, nothing more.
After bidding farewell to Hong Chengchou once again, Dasu and other Eight Banners generals only left the Chinese army's tent, while the Southwest Jingbiao generals had to continue to the camp gate.
Looking at Hong Chengchou's retreating back, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful - this might be the last chance for the Qing army in the southeast to save the situation on their own. If they missed this time, the Qing army on the entire southeast battlefield would just have to resign themselves to their fate.
, this feeling is really oppressive.
However, with the overall situation being like this, it was impossible for him to go against the Qing government's grand strategy. Since he could no longer go on an expedition, he was thinking about whether to have a few drinks. A voice rang in his ears, and at the same time, it echoed in his ears.
into his heart.
"Both the Southwest Jingbiao and the Changsha shogunate came under the sect of Hong Chengchou, and they followed suit. Master, it is probably not a blessing for the Qing Dynasty that the Han officials have held great power for a long time."
………………
As the devil's whisper sounded in Da Su's ears, similar whispers also echoed in the ears of the commander of the Poyang Lake Navy in the Qing Army's Poyang Lake Navy camp, a hundred miles north.
"Commander, I have said before that the Tatars will not be the opponent of the country's surnamed master. You see, the news coming out of the Tatars' own Jiangxi governor's office is not just empty words, and we will never return it.
Is it fake?"
"Sir, don't be surprised. I am also responsible for the thousands of men in this town, as well as their family members and clan members behind them. You must always be cautious."
The military commander in front of him was obviously much more polite than the previous visits. He stopped talking and went straight to the topic: "You have also seen that the Tatars have tens of thousands of troops in Quzhou, and the Eight Banners Army alone has
There were 20,000 soldiers. A flag-lord prince led the troops, and two Gu Shanerzhen assisted from the side. They were defeated and fled by Guo Xingye. How many Tatar Eight Banners troops are there in total? How many flag-lord princes are there in total?
How many people are there in Gushan'er? In the battle of Quzhou, in just one hour, when I went to the tea house to drink tea, Ga Dahun was awarded the head, and Ashangge was chopped to pieces by the Iron Man Army, including his men and his horses.
You can't even fight back the minced meat. The army of Mr. Guo has already gone straight to Nanjing, what are you still hesitating about?"
The Confucian scholar was still analyzing him earnestly, and the navy commander couldn't help but think of the Tiandihui organization that he had heard about earlier. It was said that it was the work of the governor of Guangdong and Jiangxi in the Ming Dynasty. In the Qing court, the local
Many high-level officials are more or less aware of the situation and have tried to eliminate it.
However, these guys are lurking too deep and will not show their traces easily. Even those guys from Nangan, Ji'an, and Guangxin have jumped out. Think about it, who didn't look like a man before Chen Kai decided to attack the local area?
The Qing Dynasty seemed to be loyal to the Qing Dynasty wholeheartedly. The local officials had no way to deal with it, and they had to guard against arousing the public indignation of the gentry class. Instead, they could only allow them to continue to grow and develop at the grassroots level.
The guy in front of me is the leader of the branch of the Nanchang Tiandihui who claims to be the leader. He came directly to work as a lobbyist when the news of the Qing army's defeat at Quzhou first came out. I am not afraid that he will kidnap him and bring him to the throne.
The Qing court invited credit.
Being so confident, one can feel relieved without thinking about it - now that the Ming army is gaining momentum in the southeastern battlefield, the Qing government may have to retreat across the Yangtze River. Although they are not directly subordinate to Mr. Guo, they are the
Mr. Chen, the governor of Guangdong and Jiangxi. He is a figure that even Hong Chengchou, the commander of the Southwest Meridian, is afraid of. Otherwise, how could he hold the Southwest Meridian in his hands despite the edict of the Qing court? Once Chen Kai is discovered
When something happens, he immediately fills it up to plug the leak. Compared with this, Zhang Chaolin, the governor of Jiangxi, who used to kowtow every time he saw him, and even dared to sit only on the side of a chair, is a piece of shit!
"The commander-in-chief still has this water-suppressing division in his hands, controlling the water transportation on Poyang Lake. This is a great opportunity to express his feelings to Daming, Xiang Guoxingye, and Mr. Chen. If Mr. Chen defeats Da
Su, if I surrender at that time, I won’t be able to ask Mr. Chen for credit for being the commander-in-chief.”
"It's just Mr. Chen's place..."
"Commander, please rest assured about this matter. I also went to Chaozhou to visit Mr. Chen in person and listened to Mr. Chen's teachings for a long time. After all, I am also a disciple of Mr. Chen..."
Seeing this Confucian scholar being surrounded by so many people, the Navy Chief couldn't help but think that Chen Kai, who had been in the profession for more than ten years, should be a few years younger than this Confucian scholar. However, isn't it also the case among Confucianists that those who have learned the Tao should not be prioritized in any order?
Is that what the teacher said? Immediately, he put aside these random thoughts, and the navy commander was very confused about the battle between heaven and man. When he raised his head, even his voice became a little lower.
"Sir, what does Mr. Chen need from the general?"
A few days later, the entire Poyang Lake Navy was dispatched on the pretext of disturbing the Ming army's shipbuilding on the east coast. When they returned, they had already put on the Ming's red flag, and the ships were full of Ming troops.
The Ming army landed on the west bank of Poyang Lake and went straight to Nanchang City, the capital of Jiangxi Province. It was where Zhu Wenzheng fought against Chen Youliang's 600,000-strong army and was one of the few fortified cities in the southeast. However, no matter how strong a fortress is, it still needs to be guarded.
, Due to the huge military pressure caused by Chen Kai in southern and eastern Jiangxi, Angbang Zhangjing Zhangjia Dasu, who was stationed in the Eight Banners in Nanchang, had already emptied out the city of Nanchang, leaving only the governor Zhang Chaolin with his depleted army.
Jiangxi Fubiao, who had been supplemented by the Ji'an battlefield and became illusory, and the officials of the government and county governments sang the empty city strategy. The Ming army benefited from the detailed work and the intelligence of the Tiandihui, which had already penetrated Jiangxi, and the inside story
Naturally, it was clear that, in line with the principle of not taking advantage of the bastard, the Qing government's ruling center in Jiangxi was destroyed with just one charge.
Next, the chain reaction of Poyang Lake Navy and Nanchang being captured by the Ming Army spread rapidly. After being bombarded by a round of artillery fire from the Poyang Lake Navy, Nanhuzui immediately surrendered to Kaicheng of the Ming Army. Yu Xin on the other side also had no chance.
You're welcome, he led Qianfeng Town to directly start a raid on the prefectures and counties in northwest Jiangxi.
Dehua, De'an, Ruichang, Xingzi, Jianchang, Anyi, Jing'an, Fengxin, Wuning, Ningzhou, rumors that the Ming army crossed Poyang Lake and captured Nanchang City were much faster than their marching speed.
many.
In fact, the main force of the Ming army in eastern Jiangxi was still fighting against the Qing army's Dasu cluster on the front line in Fuzhou. The Ming army that invaded northwest Jiangxi only had two towns, Zhongchong and Qianfeng. However, due to the disastrous defeat of the Qing army in Quzhou
The news has spread. Earlier, there were eight banners garrisoned in Poyang Lake and Nanchang. The prefectures and counties on the west bank of Poyang Lake did not have to worry about facing the Ming army directly. But now the Ming army directly captured the city of Nanchang. Others
