"The land outside the border is full of high mountains and dense forests, and is full of miasma. Don't be careless when attacking from afar!" Hong Chengchou said cautiously, but in fact he didn't really take Zhu Yongxing, who was traveling beyond the border, in his eyes, like Li Dingguo and Bai Wenxuan.
The famous generals were defeated one after another and fled to the outside world, not daring to improve the Qing army's edge, let alone the rabble gathered in a hurry.
"Yes, what Jing Lue said is true. I will send a message to Zhang Yong and ask him to use his troops with caution." Wu Sangui said respectfully, but in a perfunctory manner. After a pause, he tentatively said: "Jing Lue is far-sighted and foresighted.
Gui has a lot to ask for advice, and I hope Jing Lue will give me a lot of advice!" Wu Sangui took out a gift list from his sleeve and handed it to Hong Chengchou gently, "It's just a small gift, it's not respectful, I hope Jing Lue will never refuse!"
Hong Chengchou smiled slightly, quietly put the gift list into his sleeve, and said: "Uncle, you and I have been friends for a long time, you don't have to be like this! The Yunnan-Guizhou region has just been established, and there is an urgent need for restraint and suppression by governors and ministers. Compared with Guizhou, Yunnan is particularly dangerous.
Far away, there are many kinds of chieftains, and it is not easy to govern. Therefore, the Yuan Dynasty used the prince to sit in the town, and the Ming Dynasty used the Duke of Guizhou, Mu Yingshi, to guard it. I will go to the meeting to ask Minister Bile, the king of the government, to stay in the town for a long-term plan.
The frontier will always rely on Jining."
"In that case, Sangui would like to thank Jinglue for this." Wu Sangui stood up and bowed his head after hearing this.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute." Hong Chengchou shook his head gently and said, "There are still some things that the eldest uncle needs to know."
Wu Sangui was stunned for a moment and asked eagerly: "Brother Hong, please speak clearly. Sangui will definitely listen."
Hong Chengchou said slowly: "The Manchu soldiers will not accept the climate here, and they are eager to return home. Uncle Chang wants to control Yunnan forever, but he should not be impatient. He must remember: Central Yunnan cannot be left alone for a day."
"Central Yunnan cannot be left without incident for a day." Wu Sangui pondered these words carefully and understood clearly that the imperial court had not yet approved his permanent rule in Yunnan and had not named him a prince. If the anti-Qing forces in Yunnan were quickly wiped out
, wouldn’t it be worth the loss? Keep some anti-Qing armed forces to cause rebellion, and wait for the Qing court to be kind to you. This is the best policy. Moreover, if Yunnan is unstable and always in a state of tension, the court will not take back the money given to Wu Sangui.
With great power, Wu Sangui will continue to increase his salary and food supply in Yunnan, and Wu Sangui's status will naturally become increasingly consolidated.
"Don't let big things happen, don't break small things." Hong Chengchou put on the air of a wise man and said in a deep voice.
"Sangui has learned a lesson from Jinglue's good advice." Wu Sangui thanked him again sincerely: "I have heard for a long time that Jinglue has extensive knowledge. Sangui occasionally got a few ancient relics, but he was not very knowledgeable and did not recognize them. He also asked Brother Hong to help appreciate them.
One or two.”
"Chang Bo kindly wishes, Hong dares to disobey orders." Hong Chengchou smiled and said modestly, then turned to Wu Sangui and said sternly: "Chang Bo, if the local chieftain makes a rebellion, use thunder to wipe it out and not let it spread; as for the puppet emperor of Burma forever,
According to history, a dog that has lost its family can be cared for in a hurry. I will report to the court and ask for food and salary to be ready for use."
"Jing Lue's words are very true." Wu Sangui nodded in agreement and said: "The food supply in Yunnan Province will be exhausted in September or October. By then, the horses will have no food and grass, and naturally they will not be able to advance. I hope that Jing Lue will have many kind words."
Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui had formed a family relationship long before they surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. Wu Sangui treated Hong Chengchou as a junior, respected him very much, and had a deep relationship. After the surrender to the Qing Dynasty, they continued to maintain a close relationship, and this time they went to Yunnan and Guizhou together, and Hong Chengchou was the general manager.
There is no doubt that he was cared about everywhere. After the war, Hong Chengchou also proposed that a king should guard Yunnan, following the example of the Yuan and Ming dynasties, and guard this place for the rest of his life. He recommended Wu Sangui openly and secretly to seek eternal victory for him.
Therefore, Wu Sangui's ability to stay in Yunnan had a lot to do with Hong Chengchou's support.
The two villains talked and laughed together, each got what he wanted, but they were also harmonious, but they didn't know that underestimating the enemy would lead to defeat. The battle of Tengchong would have shocking results, causing Western Yunnan to be shaken and the situation to change.
……………
"In the siege battle, the size of the city must be determined. Fierce fighting is everywhere. Our enemy fights hand to hand. The mountains and rivers are dazzled. The sound is like rivers. The force is like thunder and lightning. Corpses fill the streets and alleys. The city walls are filled with blood..."
Standing on Laifeng Mountain and looking at the ancient city of Tengchong, Zhu Yongxing seemed to hear the commentary of the documentary "Expeditionary Army" again in his ears. Hundreds of years later, this ancient city fell to Japanese pirates from the East China Sea and was destroyed by war, and the Japanese pirates also
Countless crimes were committed here. When the lost territory was regained from the Japanese pirates, tens of thousands of Chinese soldiers paid a heavy price here.
Times are different, but war may still come to this ancient city. Regarding this, Zhu Yongxing sighed with emotion. Although he planned an unexpected and clever plan, it was not sure whether it would succeed. Therefore,
As a backup plan, it is natural to defend the ancient city of Tengchong, defeat the enemy under the fortified city, and survey the topography of Fengshan Mountain as a barrier to the ancient city of Tengchong.
However, after the survey, Zhu Yongxing's confidence began to waver, because Laifengshan was too small to station many troops. Once Laifengshan was occupied by the Qing army, Tengchong City would be surrounded from all sides. This was originally a historical event.
The Japanese army fought hard against Tengchong's battle plan, but was finally wiped out.
Although we can learn from the experience and lessons of the historical expeditionary force's counterattack against Tengchong, the combat characteristics in the cold weapon era are completely different from the hot weapon era. Therefore, Zhu Yongxing is increasingly less optimistic about defending Tengchong.
Defend Tengchong, but cannot fight against Tengchong. Zhu Yongxing turned his attention to the north. The rapid Nu River and the Gaoligong Mountain with an altitude of more than 3,000 meters are the two natural barriers to protect Tengchong. The battlefield should be chosen there, and heavy defenses should be set up at the steep pass of Gaoligong Mountain.
Checkpoints, blocking the Qing army based on danger, causing the Qing army to retreat in the face of difficulties.
Yes, if your original idea fails, blocking the enemy at Gaoligong Mountain should be the best option. As long as you persist for a month, the ensuing rainy season will suddenly increase the width of the Nu River from more than eighty meters to
It was more than 400 meters long, and the current was turbulent, and the mountain post road was slippery and difficult to navigate. The Qing army would not be able to guarantee its supplies, and might even be in danger of being cut off, so they had to find a way to cross the river and withdraw.
A burst of laughter like silver bells interrupted Zhu Yongxing's thoughts. Mengzhu turned around from the mountain road with two maids, and came to Zhu Yongxing with a fresh and innocent atmosphere.
"Your Highness, that hot spring is so comfortable to soak in. I almost fell asleep." Mengzhu's cheeks were flushed, as if she had applied rouge, which made her face even more beautiful. Her hair was still wet, with crystal water droplets shining in the sunlight.
The light shone like a head full of pearls, making all the guards not far from Zhu Yongxing look at him sideways.
