Chapter 509 Compared with the high-ranking and powerful governor, my old Cao still likes the way he is now!
"After leaving alone, I will take Ke Kewang as the leader of Xiying, go to Dashun State, and reuse the title of Daxi. With the help of Dingguo and others, I hope to achieve great success!" At the end of his life, a generation of heroes finally said it completely.
Last words. From this point of view, Zhang Xianzhong should be luckier than Li Zicheng. He went to Dashun because at the end of his life, Zhang Xianzhong always felt that he was defeated by this country. Dashun was not smooth at all.
!
From being stabbed in the heart with a crab knife to his death, Zhang Xianzhong persisted for three full days with his strong will. Three days was very precious for Xiying. At least they could collect the troops that were scattered due to the night attack.
Calmly withdraw from the area around Nanchang and return to southern Jiangxi and Guangdong with the main force basically intact.
What Jin Shengheng regretted most that night was that the night attack team did not find Zhang Xianzhong. It was precisely because he did not know how effective the night attack was that the Jin camp did not take advantage of the chaos to launch a large-scale attack, and he did not know whether this decision was correct.
In any case, the surprise night attack was effective. At least it forced the menacing enemy troops to retreat. Four days later, Jinying recaptured Ganzhou. It was at this time that Jin Shengheng judged that Zhang Xianzhong was at least
It suffered heavy losses in the night attack, otherwise an important city like Ganzhou would not have been easily abandoned.
This battle was of great significance to the situation in the entire south. It was the first time that the southern warlords repelled the crazy expansion of the Western Camp and curbed the expansion of the Western Camp. All forces in the south responded to this. People are still there.
In the city of Ganzhou, Jin Shengheng received an urgent edict from Nanjing. He was named Duke of Changguo, Commander-in-Chief of the Right Army, General of the Peking Bandits, Prince Taibao, Jiangxi Recruiting Envoy, and Jiangxi Chief Military Officer. In short, these are all titles that can be added.
It's all added.
There is no way, in recent years, the army that has nominally returned to Nanjing has fought such a beautiful battle. For Nanjing, which is in a precarious situation, it is like a life-saving straw. Some people even proposed to transfer Jin Shengheng's army to Nantong.
Suzhou's front line was to defend the safety of the capital. Fortunately, someone in the court gave up the idea because he was Zuo Liangyu's old subordinate and might not be completely reliable.
Preserving the city of Nanchang is too important for Nanjing. As long as there is no possibility of the Chuangxian two battalions joining forces, at least the west of Nanjing will be safe. Otherwise, not only will we have to guard against the Laozi Army in Songjiang Prefecture and Shandong direction, but we will also have to face the surrender of Chuangxian.
No one could withstand such pressure after joining forces with the overwhelmingly powerful Xiying. The battle outside Nanchang at least avoided the possibility of such a crisis in a short period of time and allowed them to turn the corner.
This is the greatest contribution!
To pacify the world? From the bottom of their hearts, the people in Nanjing really don’t have many such ideas. Their current life is not as miserable as the outside world imagines. More than 30% of the taxes in the Ming Dynasty came from Nanzhi. After the warlords became independent,
, there is no need to give local blood transfusions anymore, this is a good thing, why should we break this balance? Isn’t it good to spend the money you earn on your own? In the past, people in Nanjing felt that after losing Songjiang Prefecture, the situation would be very passive, but in the past
After a while, they discovered that losing Songjiang Prefecture to Beijing was not a bad thing, and their economic situation actually improved because of it!
Maybe the little emperor in the palace still has some small ideals of unifying the world, but the mainstream idea in the minds of the ministers in the court is that it is best to maintain the status quo. The biggest enemy of the Nanjing court now is the United Party. The dead Zhang Xianzhong is not popular.
, the emperor in the north is not popular either. If you don’t bother, this is the best of times!
Just when the situation in the south was changing suddenly, the Liaoshen battlefield in the north was also at its most intense and tense.
After a bitter battle, the two Ming armies finally merged in the southwest of Shenyang City. The Liaoshen battlefield, which had been planned for several years, finally came to a decisive battle and a final outcome.
"Commander-in-Chief, the latest news from the intelligence department is that the rebels in Shenyang City seem to be ready to abandon the city. They are frantically plundering Han people's property and people in the city. A large number of Han people, who are not many in the first place, have been taken to East of Fushun." After joining forces, the Joint Staff Team reported the latest intelligence to Liu Yuanbin, the commander-in-chief of the offensive and sinking campaign.
"Since the restart of the offensive at the beginning of the month, Jianlu's company has been defeated in a row. At the mouth of the Daleng River, Jianlu's defenses were broken in two days. During this period, Jianlu's losses of troops and horses have exceeded 10,000. Under such circumstances, Jianlu made a decision The decision to abandon the defense of Shenyang is not surprising. At present, all ministries should step up the gathering of troops and logistics preparations, and strive to capture the city of Shenyang as soon as possible, so that the few captives can capture some Han people, and we can report victory to the capital as soon as possible. The last point I would like to emphasize is the speed of advancement. Be fast, but fast and not chaotic. You must not be careless and give the Jianlu a chance to fight back. You must achieve full success in this battle and never allow mistakes to occur!" After listening to the report, Liu Yuanbin told the generals at the wartime headquarters Expressed his judgment and decision.
The war plans of each combat unit had been made long ago, and Liu Yuanbin's decision was just to rush the plan into action.
August in Liaodong should have been a good harvest, but this year's war has undoubtedly destroyed this scene. Since the beginning of the year, the army has been pressing down on the border, and the Manchu and Qing Dynasties are more or less preparing to abandon Shenyang, and the people have been kidnapped. The people were kidnapped, and the people left behind were terrified and didn’t know where the future lay, and they had no intention of farming.
Large tracts of fertile farmland were abandoned, dozens of miles around Shenyang City were overgrown with weeds, and villages were in ruins. It was a completely doomsday scene.
Liu Yuanbin and Cao Ruohai, with their guards, rode around in the deserted suburbs of Shenyang City. Listening to the rumble of cannons attacking the city in the distance, they could not even feel the joy in their hearts that they were about to regain Shenyang City and achieve outstanding military exploits.
"Commander-in-Chief, there seems to be a small village ahead. Let my soldiers take a look. If it is suitable, the headquarters can be moved here. This place is closer to the front line." Cao Ruohai pointed to a small village in front. give suggestions.
"Let people go and take a look. If there are still villagers who have not been harmed by the rebels, just appease them. As for moving the headquarters, forget it. It is estimated that Shenyang City will be destroyed in two days at most. There is no need to waste any more time. Move the headquarters."
"After this battle, the commander will enter the hall. I am afraid that he will rarely have the opportunity to personally supervise the battle formation like now. If the headquarters is not moved forward, it will be difficult for the commander to listen to the rumble of cannons." Cao Ruohai In a joking tone, he persuaded me again without giving up.
"Don't come here. You and I will probably enter the hall one after another. I won't go much earlier than you."
"I wonder if you and I will be able to kill as happily as we do now after entering the palace? To be honest, compared with the high-ranking governor sitting in the palace, I still like the way I am now, leading tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to kill. More energetic."
"How can things in the world be as perfect as one wishes? To be able to be where we are today is a blessing accumulated over several lifetimes. We were lucky enough to meet the Mingjun. In the past, which military commander would have dared to imagine our situation? The Emperor's love for me and my wife. Since you are so kind, we have to make the emperor feel at ease."
