Zhou Shaohuan suggested that the battlefield in northern Henan be opened, the Daming Prefecture was captured, the Qing army's retreat route was cut off, and what Shang Yi expected was that the plan to annihilate the main force of the Qing army on the Central Plains battlefield was approved by the Nanjing United Front Work Department to launch the battle in northern Henan, and the battle was carried out.
Leave it to the Shandong Military Region to complete.
After receiving the order sent back by the United Front Work Department, Zhou Shaohuan was also very happy and immediately dispatched troops in Shandong. The four armies in the Shandong Military Region are now distributed: the Fourth Army is stationed in Dongchang Prefecture, the Fifth Army and the Ninth Army are stationed in Yanzhou.
The 10th Army was stationed in Jinan Prefecture. At the same time, the Shandong Military Region established a new division and two brigades, but it was not approved by the United Front Work Department, so a new army had not been formed.
Zhou Shaohuan recruited the chief generals of each army to hold a military meeting and decided to decide that this battle in southern Henan would use the cavalry divisions of the Fourth, Fifth, and Nineteenth Army, and a new division to participate, with a total force of about 100,000.
Left and left two brigades of the 10th Army, but two newly formed brigades stayed in Shandong. Because after conquering Xuzhou, Shandong and Jiangsu were completely connected, and just defending the northeast of Shandong was enough to ensure that the Shandong region was
It is safe, and with the current Qing court, it is difficult for them to dispatch an army of 50,000 to attack Shandong, so four brigades are fully qualified.
After the dispatch, Zhou Shaohuan transferred his combat plan and several newly organized troops to the Nanjing United Front Work Department, and ordered the division of troops to advance to the Daming Mansion.
Daming Prefecture is located in the northern part of Hebei, and is the junction of Shandong, Henan and Hebei provinces. It was originally a strategic location for a place, but in the Northern Song Dynasty, because the Song Dynasty was established in Kaifeng at that time, it was never taken back and was unable to be taken back.
The occupied 16 prefectures of Yanyun, so the strategic value of Daming Prefecture was greatly improved. It was known as "controlling Heshuo and locking the keys of the north gate". In 1042, the second year of Qingli of Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty, Daming Prefecture was regarded as the Great Song Dynasty.
Beijing also upgraded Daming Prefecture to a capital-level city, ranking alongside Luoyang, Kaifeng and Jinling. In the classical novel [Water Margin], many plots are related to Daming Prefecture.
But the current Daming Prefecture City is not the Daming Prefecture City of the Northern Song Dynasty, but the Daming Prefecture rebuilt by the Ming Dynasty. The Daming Prefecture City of that year was flooded by the flood of the Yellow River in the early Ming Dynasty.
However, after the Northern Song Dynasty was defeated by the Jin Dynasty and moved south, Daming Prefecture also lost its strategic significance and gradually declined. After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the two capitals of the north and south were established. Although the prefectures were still established here, Daming Prefecture was not a major city in Hebei.
, no longer the glory of the past. But now the Central Plains War was launched between the Qing court and Nanjing, and the Qing army set up Kaifeng Prefecture as the general command center of the Central Plains battlefield. Therefore, the role of Daming Prefecture immediately emerged, becoming the retreating army of the Qing army.
, and important locations of transportation replenishment lines.
Of course, Dorgon actually paid great attention to the protection of Daming Mansion. After entering Kaifeng garrison, he set up 50,000 heavy troops in Daming Mansion, including 10,000 troops from the Shengong Battalion of the New Army and 150 various artillery artillery
Although Yumen is not a solid city, it is definitely not a city that can be easily conquered. Moreover, it is only more than 300 miles from Kaifeng to Daming Prefecture. Once Daming Prefecture was attacked by the Chinese army, the number of troops sent from Kaifeng was the most
You can arrive at Daming Mansion in three days. Even if you count the time to get from Daming Mansion to Kaifeng, it will only take four days. With the defensive power of Daming Mansion, you can do it for four days.
of.
Therefore, this is something that made Dorgon and Hong Chengchou puzzled, because they did not receive any emergency from Daming Mansion, and they directly received news of Daming Mansion's loss, which also shows that Daming Mansion did not hold on for long to resist.
It was captured by the Chinese army. Previously, Dorgon and Hong Chengchou were only shocked by the significant impact of the loss of Daming Mansion on the overall situation, and ignored this point. After the two decided to give up the Ajige tribe and regain the Daming Mansion with all their might,
I just started to calm down and asked carefully how Daming Mansion was lost.
It turns out that the loss of Daming Mansion has an important relationship with a person, and this person's name is Zhao Yue.
Almost three years ago, Zhao Yue was forced to surrender to the Qing court. Hong Chengchou and the Qing court were determined to conquer him and use it for their own purposes to help the Qing court train the new army. Therefore, Zhao Yue also won over many parties and gave him great help.
The high official title was honored, but Zhao Yue was unmoved. Surrendering to the Qing court was just a temporary solution. His main purpose was to find an opportunity to return to the side of the Nanjing government.
Later, Zhao Yue contacted an intelligence point in Beijing in Nanjing and transferred his feelings to Nanjing. After Shang Yi learned about it, he immediately approved Zhao Yue's return, but he also secretly observed and tested Zhao Yue.
.After nearly a year of tests, it can be basically determined that Zhao Yue really wanted to return to the Nanjing government, so Shang Yi also made a decision to not assign tasks to Zhao Yue for the time being, but to let him in the Qing army.
The central government continued to lurk, slowly improve, wait for opportunities, and try its best to help other Nanjing government intelligence personnel who were infiltrated within the Qing army gain a foothold and infiltrate the Qing army.
The Qing court had infiltrated the Chinese army, and Nanjing also sent a lot of intelligence personnel to infiltrate the Qing army. The two sides were actually infiltrating each other. However, although the management and promotion system of the Qing army was not as perfect and strict as the Chinese army.
However, the Qing army has always attached great importance to Manchu and Mongolia and the Han army outside the pass. If the Han army inside the pass wants to be promoted and gain a certain status in the Qing army, it is not easy. It must establish great military achievements, and in this way, it must
As an enemy of the Chinese Army, this is a very contradictory question. Now I have finally found such a suitable person. Although he is the Han Army in Guannei, he is an instructor and has a transcendent status. Of course, he must make good use of it and leave it to Guanjian.
Always play his best role.
In the past two years, Zhao Yue has taught the Qing army very thoroughly, and has received some support from Nanjing, revealing some not-so-important tactics to the Qing army, and gradually gaining the knowledge of the Zhifang.
The trust of the Qing court, his role and status, actually surpassed that of another surrendered general, Li Benshen, and was promoted to the commander of the Shengong Camp, with three thousand soldiers under his command; on the other hand, Zhao Yue used himself.
The instructor's favorable identity secretly promoted Nanjing intelligence personnel who had sneaked into the Qing army. In the Shengong Camp Army and in the army under Zhao Yue, there were more than one hundred people. Two of them served as leaders and five were appointed as schools.
Wei, the lieutenant, had firmly controlled this force. And many people were also involved in other troops.
However, Zhao Yue's work was directly pointed by the intelligence personnel of the Nanjing government, and the promoted personnel were indeed worthy of their name, so they did not reveal any traces. The Qing court had no doubts about this. Dorgon had also recruited it separately twice.
When he met Zhao Bing, he commended his training and promotion of useful soldiers.
Although Nanjing has not assigned specific tasks to Zhao Yue, it has always been very important to Zhao Yue's movements. Before the war in the Central Plains began, Shang Yi, who was stationed in Shang Yi, sent people to inform Zhao Yue, preparing to accept important things in this battle.
The mission was also considered when to let this piece play its greatest role. Zhao Yue had always followed Hong Chengchou, first stationed in Kaifeng, and was later sent to Daming Prefecture to garrison.
Therefore, after receiving the report from Zhou Shaohuan that he had launched the battle in northern Henan and captured Daming Prefecture, Shang Yi immediately thought of Zhao Yue, because he was stationed in Daming Prefecture at this time. If the Chinese army launched an attack on Daming Prefecture, Zhao Yue would
The launch of a front-line uprising in Daming Prefecture to help the Chinese army quickly conquer Daming Prefecture, which will undergo fundamental changes in the situation of this Central Plains War. The Chinese army will firmly win the book. What remains behind is just a matter of the size of the results, that is,
The chance of completely annihilated the Qing army on the Central Plains battlefield was more than 70%. This is also the greatest role that Zhao Yue can play in this battle.
Of course, we cannot place all hope of capturing Daming Mansion on Zhao Yue. If he repeatedly, or retreats at the last minute, or other things happen, it may lead to the failure of the on-line uprising. Therefore, Shang Yi replied to Zhou Shaohuan and approved him
The combat plan was to launch the northern Henan battle, and on the other hand, he sent personnel to contact Zhao Yue, asking him to prepare to launch a front-line uprising in Daming Prefecture, cooperate with the troops of the Shandong Military Region to quickly capture Daming Prefecture. He also assured Zhao Yue that the uprising was successful.
After the Chinese army captured Daming Prefecture, Zhao Yue's military post was immediately restored.
At this time, Zhao Yue had been looking forward to Nanjing sending him important tasks. Now he learned that he was going to launch a frontline uprising in Daming Prefecture and could restore his military post in the Chinese army after capturing Daming Prefecture.
He was very excited. This was something he had been looking forward to for a long time, so he immediately replied to Shang Yi, saying that he obeyed the order and would cooperate with the Shandong Military Region to launch a front-line uprising in Daming Prefecture.
After receiving Zhao Yue's clear reply, Shang Yi conveyed the news to Zhou Shaohuan, and handed over the personnel contacted by Zhao Yue to Zhou Shaohuan to command, and went with Zhao Yue to discuss the details of the on-line uprising and the plan for the whole body. After all,
This is a matter on the front line and should be handed over to the commanders of the front line. At the same time, these newly formed troops in the Shandong Military Region were also approved. After the battle in northern Henan was completed, they were merged into a new army, with the number as
Twenty-two Army.
After receiving the news from Shang Yi, Zhou Shaohuan was also surprised and happy. He didn't expect that Shang Yi was still ambushing such a secret chess. At the same time, he had to admire that Shang Yi was indeed far-sighted. With Zhao Yue's lurking like this, he had to admire him.
After his companions, the process of the battle in northern Henan was much simpler than he thought. Therefore, Zhou Shaohuan immediately recruited the personnel who contacted Zhao Yue to discuss the plan for the whole body.
