After a pause, Zhu Yongxing said: "From Shiping to Yuanjiang, there is not only one way to go, Dazhujing. Although the possibility is high, we still have to think more carefully. Let's talk about Laowu Mountain, which seems a little away from Yuanjiang.
It is far away and can easily be cut off by the Qing army."
"Your Highness, this is just a preliminary plan and needs to be revised and improved." Ma Weixing cupped his hands and explained: "Taking Dazhujing is the most convenient road from Shiping to Yuanjiang. How did the Qing army know that our army was setting up an ambush here? And Lao Lao
Wushan is only seventy miles away from Yuanjiang. If the Qing army stationed troops to block it, wouldn't they worry about being attacked from both sides?"
Historically, the Qing army did learn that there was an ambush in Dazhujing and took a detour to avoid the ambush; and the connection between Lao Wushan and Yuanjiang was indeed cut off by the Qing army, which had no effect at all. Zhu Yongxing pondered for a moment
, did not want to get entangled with Ma Weixing about this plan. After all, he was about to go to Anpei to take charge, and was no longer involved in the Yuanjiang battle.
Therefore, Zhu Yongxing then explained the Zheng family in Annan, guarding the Annan occupied area, recruiting and training new soldiers, etc. Ma Bao then also introduced the current garrison and defense situation of the Ming army and native soldiers, as well as the deployment of grain and grass supplies.
Generally speaking, the task of guarding the occupied area is relatively easy. The Zheng family has greatly lost its vitality and is focusing on recovering the territory occupied by Nan Ruan. There is no threat to the Ming army for the time being. The Mo family is also accumulating strength and consolidating the territory. In the absence of the Ming Dynasty,
With the support of the military, it is unlikely that there will be any changes.
"Your Highness, the governor hopes that you can go to Yuanjiang to take charge. This will be very helpful for contacting various chieftains and surrendering generals." After Zhu Yongxing and Ma Bao finished explaining, Ma Weixing conveyed Nasong's expectations before leaving.
"I'm going to Yuanjiang to take charge -" Zhu Yongxing pondered for a moment, then shook his head slightly and said: "This is almost the same as raising a flag to start a trouble. It's not appropriate to strike a chord and scare the snake. Or, go secretly? It's not good either, that's how to start a fight.
It doesn’t have the effect the governor hoped for.”
"Then the governor will contact everyone. The Kunming Qing army will definitely be aware of this." Ma Weixing said: "If I don't move, the enemy will also move. Your Highness should be careful and vigilant."
Zhu Yongxing nodded. This was exactly what he was worried about. He couldn't be complacent, he couldn't think too stupidly of the enemy, and he couldn't take it for granted that the enemy would act according to his plan. But according to historical data, the Nasong July Uprising,
The Qing army in Kunming only mobilized in large numbers in September, which shows that the rainy season in Yunnan Province is really a key factor restricting the Qing army's actions. In other words, he should still have time, at least a month.
After sending away the Syrian stallion Ma Weixing, Zhu Yongxing asked Ma Bao to summon the generals to continue discussing the strategic deployment of Yuanjiang. Since the focus was on delaying and defending, it was inappropriate to use Lao Wushan as foreign aid. As for Dazhujing in Dazhujing
Zhu Yongxing also disagreed with setting up an ambush. It was naturally good for the ambush to be successful. If the Qing army took a detour, the ambush would be isolated from Yuanjiang, thus weakening Yuanjiang's defense power.
Fighting steadily, harassing and attacking, slowly retreating to Yuanjiang, and then relying on the city to defend. This is almost a replica of the Tengchong battle. In Tengchong, there is Gaoligong Mountain as a barrier. As for Yuanjiang, Zhu Yongxing visited this "natural greenhouse" in his previous life.
. He remembered that the scenery on the drive from Kunming to Yuanjiang was charming, with undulating mountains and winding roads, like white ribbons drifting among the mountains. There were countless viaducts, winding roads, caves, mountains, cliffs, valleys, water streams, and villas.
As beautiful as a picture scroll.
Of course, Zhu Yongxing is not looking forward to the beautiful scenery now. He is judging that the road the Kunming and Qing troops want to reach Yuanjiang should be very rugged and difficult to travel under the current conditions. Yuanjiang belongs to the basin terrain surrounded by mountains.
The mountains are also relatively tall and precipitous, and there are a lot of virgin forests, which are quite advantageous as a battlefield to block the Qing army.
"During the Tengchong battle, the raiding troops dispersed into pieces and dispersed behind enemy lines played a big role, but the number was smaller." Ma Bao recalled the situation of the pursuit line Guoan. If they were not hindered and attacked, they might have returned.
I can't catch the frontline national security. So I admire this tactic very much, "We should increase our strength this time. Thousands of soldiers who are familiar with the terrain and terrain can be seen in the mountains and forests. They can intercept and kill messengers and scouts, and cut off the enemy's communication with the outside world."
It can also be contacted by information; it can also be broken into pieces at the right time to attack the enemy's small team escorting the heavy supplies of food and grass."
Zhu Yongxing agreed with this. The native soldiers had limited ability to fight in battle. This kind of harassment and attack in their own hometown should be their specialty. Coupled with the use of landmines, grenades, and cold artillery attacks from sky-blasting artillery, the Qing army was sure
You have to suffer a lot.
"It is also necessary to choose a place to garrison troops in the upper reaches of the Yuanjiang River for foreign aid. The number does not need to be too many, just a thousand, and they must be familiar with the water. If the Qing army builds pontoons and wooden fortresses to block the waterway of the Yuanjiang River and besiege Yuanjiang City, they can take boats to
Float down and attack it." What Zhu Yongxing is most worried about is the smooth flow of water channels in Yuanjiang City, which is the only way for reinforcements and materials to pass through.
"Your Highness, after the Yuanjiang uprising, the general intends to move the headquarters to Yuanyang or Quirongdian (now Honghe County) to command nearby." Ma Bao's suggestion seemed reasonable, but it made Zhu Yongxing hesitate.
Yuanyang is far away from Yuanjiang, and Kuirongdian and others are too close to each other. It faces Shiping across the river. Maybe the Qing army will attack first after occupying Shiping. Ma Bao's troops
The mission is not only to assist Yuan Jiang in times of crisis, but also to defend the Annan occupied area!
Of course, the possibility of the Qing army bypassing Yuanjiang and directly attacking the Annan base is very small. After all, the journey is long and most of the routes they pass through are under the jurisdiction of local chieftains. There is also the risk of being cut off by the Yuanjiang uprising army, but they have to guard against it.
"It would be better if the headquarters is located in Yuanyang." Zhu Yongxing thought seriously for a moment and said: "Six long-term lawsuits including Quirongdian, Situodian, Luokingdian, Xichudian, Wajiadian and Zuonengdian have already expressed their response.
As for the governor, most of the local soldiers under his jurisdiction will go to Yuanjiang. The guard force is weak and it is not a safe place. Well, let’s finalize the affairs on Yuanjiang today. There will be variables in the future. Let’s make adjustments at that time!"
Ma Bao and other generals knew that the variables Zhu Yongxing mentioned should refer to the intelligence from the Military Intelligence Department. However, the Military Intelligence Department was directly in the hands of Zhu Yongxing. They did not know the specific actions and it was difficult to inquire. Next, they only talked about Yuan Jiang's strategy.
The tactics were discussed and a rough plan was drawn up, which was sent to Yuanjiang by Zhu Yongxing and Ma Bao after printing.
In the next few days, Zhu Yongxing focused entirely on the Military Intelligence Department, always paying attention to the latest intelligence. Like other departments, the Military Intelligence Department has also been greatly expanded and developed, and some Jinyiwei were transferred from the army.
After enrichment and Zhu Yongxing's guidance, intelligence gathering became more targeted and more efficient.
Zhou Liangfu, one of the original troika of the Military Intelligence Department, has been transferred to the Civil Intelligence Department, focusing on supervising officials at all levels and reporting public sentiment. Now Zheng Zhaoren and Zha Rulong are fully responsible, with four divisions under their jurisdiction: the Intelligence Division is responsible for collection
, analyzes intelligence and dispatches spies; the Operations Division is responsible for planning various political and military activities; the Counterintelligence Division is responsible for conducting counterintelligence activities, protecting the safety of intelligence personnel, and detecting enemy espionage activities; the General Affairs Division is responsible for budget and administrative management.
In addition, the Intelligence Department has also established more than a dozen intelligence stations, which benefited from the contacts accumulated by the Zheng family's ancestors who were traders and the caravans. Although the intelligence stations in Kunming, Yongchang, Dali, Chuxiong, Yuxi and other three rivers are all
It has just been established and has only a few manpower, but it has already established an intelligence communication channel, and intelligence is sent back from time to time. No matter how useful the intelligence is, Zhu Yongxing thinks it is a gratifying achievement.
When Nasong contacted everyone about the uprising, Zhu Yongxing was not idle. Relying on his own memory, he also made a list for the Military Intelligence Department. They were all anti-Qing chieftains recorded in history. Like Ningzhou Chieftain Lu
Changxian, Xingxing Wang Yaozu, Qiao Luyi, Wang Yangzu, Wang Nongtusi Wang Shuo, Mengzi Li Risen, Li Shifan, Li Shiping. Lunan Qinzugen, Lu Liangzigong, Maitreya Angfuzu, Vimalakia Shen Yinglin, Shen Zhaolin, Wang Chengzu, etc.
These chieftains did not participate in the Yuanjiang Nasong uprising against the Qing Dynasty in history. Maybe they were afraid of the Qing army's strength, maybe they were waiting and watching, or maybe they had other thoughts. However, the current situation is different from that in history. The Ming army first attacked Tengchong.
The victory. Zhu Yongxing successfully conquered Annan again, which seemed to be encouraging. I think someone will respond, right?
Zhu Yongxing actually had no confidence in his heart, but if he could get help, the Yuanjiang Rebellion would increase foreign aid and the battle would be more advantageous. Moreover, the Qing court's policy of shaving one's hair and obeying orders also added advantages for him to achieve this goal.
conditions.
"All officials, soldiers and civilians who surrender to the government must shave their heads and abide by the system of this dynasty. Those who obey are the citizens of our country. Those who hesitate are the bandits who rebel against the order and must be guilty of serious crimes. If they avoid it and use clever words to argue, they will never be taken lightly.
All local civil and military officials should carry out inspections. If the matter occurs again, we will continue to report. If you want to control the local people and still maintain the clear system, and do not want the system of this dynasty, you will be killed without mercy."
The Qing government promulgated the "Order to shave hair and make it easier to serve" in the south of the Yangtze River, which caused turbulent public sentiment and wars everywhere. However, it had no intention of learning any lessons. Every land it occupied was still strictly enforced. It was this kind of cruel and stubborn policy.
Even the chieftains of Situo, Luofan, Zuoneng, Wezha, Tierong, Nageng and other places who were the first to submit to the Qing Dynasty and were allowed to inherit the policy were dissatisfied, not to mention the many chieftains who were still waiting to see and already admired Hanfu.
?
On August 20, the first batch of 5,000 Annan Ming troops rushing to central Yunnan passed through Laojie, entered Yunnan Province, and followed the old road to meet up with the Jin Dynasty King Li Ding's troops.
On August 25, a large amount of ammunition was transported from Shaba to Laojie. After being loaded onto a ship, it was transported up the river and back and forth to Yuanjiang City.
On August 27, the intelligence personnel sent by the Military Intelligence Department to contact various chieftains began to return one after another. After integrating other intelligence, Zhu Yongxing was finally able to make the final deployment.
On August 29, Zhu Yongxing held a combat meeting, and after a full day of discussion and study, the entire counterattack plan was finally finalized, and intensive liaison and preparations began again.
On the fifth day of September, Zhu Yongxing led a thousand Ming troops and a thousand Mengshan Croat warriors, carrying weapons and equipment, and set off by boat along the Yuanjiang River to central Yunnan.
Zhu Yongxing was still worried about the foundation he had worked hard to build. After receiving the situation report from King Jin and King Zhao, the number of Ming troops originally planned to be taken away was reduced a lot. In addition to the 7,000 soldiers he took away, the number of garrison troops
There are two thousand Ming troops in Annan and three thousand native soldiers of various ethnic groups; there are three thousand Ming troops who are about to rush to Yuanjiang. The king of Ruyang, Mabao, is stationed in Yuanyang. He also has two thousand reserve troops and three thousand native soldiers sent by the chieftains.
Remain.
For this comeback battle, Zhu Yongxing can be said to have tried his best. Veterans, recruits, and native soldiers came together to mobilize all the troops in his hands. Of course, these are only superficial numbers, and he actually left a lot of secret moves.
, be prepared to launch at a critical moment, or when the Qing army is at a disadvantage, and then instigate and confuse to achieve miraculous effects.
…………….
Yuanjiang City is nestled in the embrace of a circle of mountains, swallowing up the sunshine brightly. The basin terrain surrounded by mountains is the main reason for the formation of Yuanjiang's unique climate. Yunnan is a plateau, and Yuanjiang is only three to four hundred meters above sea level.
meters, the surrounding mountains are extremely majestic and tall, with a lot of virgin forests, and most places are sparsely populated.
This kind of basin terrain, coupled with its location near the Tropic of Cancer, has strong sunlight. Other places cannot stretch happily due to the obstruction of heavy mountains. However, it was easy to find an open space like Yuanjiang where you can stretch your arms and waist. Of course, you have to use the light beautifully.
All sprinkled down, like a bowl filled with light.
In his previous life, he visited Yuanjiang City, which was rebuilt after being destroyed by war. It was completely different from the current one. Zhu Yongxing looked up from the boat, enjoyed it, and was filled with emotion. It wasn't until the boat slowed down and slowly moved closer to the shore that the crowd waiting on the shore stopped.
His eyes were drawn over.
The royal flag was erected, and people on the shore knelt down one after another. They paid homage to the royal family of the Ming Dynasty, and the imperial court stayed behind, Zhu Yongxing, the eldest son of King Min.
At this time, there is no need to hide and tuck in. Zhu Yongxing gave the song a strong momentum, increased popularity, and gave confidence to the people participating in the uprising. As for the uprising, it was just a matter of raising flags to spread the word, and the Qing army in Kunming was not
Blind and deaf. I guess you are already making preparations.
"The governor, the governor, please get up quickly." Zhu Yongxing stepped off the boat, smiled and helped Na Song up first, his words were approachable, showing everyone his unusual relationship with Na Song.
"Everyone, please get up." Zhu Yongxing said loudly to the kneeling people again: "Before I arrived in Yuanjiang, I heard the governor stated the loyalty of the officials, soldiers and people here, and I was very relieved. Now that I have arrived in Yuanjiang, I have issued an order not to
Soldiers and civilians, old and young, can look up, look at each other, and talk in low voices without committing any sin."
Na Song was wearing the official uniform of the Ming Dynasty, and his face was slightly red with excitement. He did not expect that Zhu Yongxing valued him so much. He kept putting gold on his face, then quickly knelt down and shouted: "Thank you.
Your Highness’ grace, Your Highness is a thousand years old. A thousand years, a thousand years old.”
"Your Highness, Chitose, Chitose, Chitose, Chitose." The crowd burst into excited shouts.
Several guards got on their horses. The first were two knights holding red flags, followed closely by four knights walking side by side, holding Qingdao flags in their hands. All of them were tall, with strong backs and strong waists, and wore helmets.
The armor is bright and looks very majestic.
"His Highness has ordered me to go to Yuanjiang to express my condolences. All soldiers and civilians, old and young, can look up and talk in low voices." Several knights slowed down and shouted forward in unison with the clatter of horse hooves.
He trotted through the city gate and entered the city.
Noises rang out from the people on both sides of the street. The people all showed surprise at this rather strange order. But after a while, they all stretched their necks and looked at the city gate expectantly.
"Coming, coming." The people on both sides of the road knelt down and lit incense candles. The Ming army soldiers responsible for maintaining order also looked around with vigilant eyes as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
During the Ming Dynasty, Yunnan was a remote place. When the clan members arrived, the people blocked the road to greet them, burned incense and prayed. This was due to Na Song's deliberate arrangement. In addition, in the feudal era, the inherent hierarchy existed in people's hearts, as well as the
The awe of royal majesty.
In the feudal era, this kind of psychology may not be understood by modern people. But in history, even when Zhu Youlang and his family were escorted back to Kunming, Yunnan, when they saw the emperor in trouble, the people looked at it and all wept.
lapel.
A group of soldiers holding flags walked slowly through the city gate. After the flags passed, there were accompanying sergeants holding command flags, halberds and cloaks, purple square umbrellas, ceremonial cloaks and other utensils as guides, and walked slowly past, guard of honor.
Although Zhu Yongxing vigorously deleted it, it still gave the common people a lot of insight.
Under the protection of two rows of personal guards, Zhu Yongxing appeared at the city gate on a white horse, wearing a horsehair tile-ridged hat, a pure silk long-sleeved robe, and a yellow ribbon around his waist. Behind him were Na Song and other officials.
After the moment of excitement, the people held their breath, opened their eyes wide, and looked at the clan who stayed behind. His Royal Highness came with a smile, and even waved to the people around him.
"Your Highness smiled at me..."
"Your Highness is waving to me..."
"His Royal Highness is handsome and mighty..."
The people were whispering to each other, the discussion was getting louder and louder, and their emotions were getting more and more exciting.
"Your Highness, Chitose, Chitose, Chitose, Chitose." Suddenly, a lone shout broke out from the crowd.
This sudden shout was like a stone thrown into the pond, causing ripples that quickly spread among the crowd.
"Your Highness, a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."
"I wish your highness good health and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty."
"Buddha bless your highness."
……………
Because of the majesty of the clan's ceremonial guard, the barriers and fears caused by the inherent hierarchy, all disappeared because of the fanatical shouts of the revolution. At first, it was the common people who laughed and cheered, and later even the Ming army soldiers who maintained order
His body was shaking with excitement, he was raising his arms and shouting.
Zhu Yongxing waved his arms vigorously under the umbrella, his nose was sore and his eyes were moist. These are my subjects, these are the innocent and simple people. Whether it is the Han, Dai, Miao or other ethnic groups, I have not done anything for you, but I
I know what you want me to do for you. Today, now I want to say, I love you, I am willing to use my blood and life to protect you, I am willing to fight for your happy life for the rest of my life, so that you are not enslaved and can live a happy life.
Dignity, freedom...
