With the establishment of the Intelligence Department, Shang Yi's information network set up in Beijing has gradually changed to regularization, and a number of professional intelligence personnel have been trained. In the future, it is necessary to gradually replace the previous personnel with new professionals.
However, the previous batch of intelligence personnel have also done a lot of basic work in Beijing. A total of seven intelligence stations have been established in Beijing, using restaurants, teahouses, grocery stores, ordinary residents, etc. I went to the social life in Beijing. In the next step, the Intelligence Department also intends to start the development of the Qing court. I am afraid that it will not be able to enter the officialdom of Beijing for the time being, but it can also be used as a businessman. Power. Because Shang Yi has the source of many valuable goods in his hands.
Of course, intelligence work must not be scored in the officialdom to obtain. As long as you carefully observe what happens, you can roughly infer some things. It is a military operation. Because when the army is mobilizing, it will be mobilized, and it will be mobilized. A large number of collections of people, craftsmen, recruiting vehicles, animals, acquisition of food, materials, etc., can not be concealed at all. Another place to compile three major battalions and the section of the region of the Ministry Come in Hangzhou.
After watching it, Shang Yi also felt that it was not very surprised. The land order and the escape method had been implemented.
Although in later generations, many historians called Dole as the Guan Jian figures of the Qing Dynasty who entered the master in China. From the perspective of Shang Yi, Dole's top is still a good general, called politicians who are indeed too much. As for the male materials, it can be not discussed. Many political issues are very wrong. The three major tyranny in the early Qing Dynasty recognized by the history of the historiology session: the land order, the escape method, and the shaving order were released by Dole.
The most wrong of these is not the most infamous shaving order in later generations, but the land order. Because in China since the Han Dynasty, land has always been the core issue of society. Most of the dynasties have changed. It is the land problem. At the beginning of the country, there will be a re -distribution of the land, so that all farmers can get a piece of land for farming. , Forced the good to be a slave.
Although the purpose of the land order is to set up the eight flag children and enable them to fight with peace of mind, this is not that there is no other way to solve it. If it is Huangtai Poor Politics, it may adopt a relatively relaxed way.
At the same time, although the land order seems to have reached the purpose of rapidly stabilizing the eight flag households, the actual reduction of the Eight Banners' fighting power is reduced, because after having a large number of fields and coats, the comfortable life also makes the eight flag children's spiritual spirit quickly disintegrate. During the Kangxi reign, in the Battle of the San Francisco in Pingxi, in the battle of Taiwan, Tsarist Russia and other battles, the main force of the Qing army also became the green camp.
It's just that in the other time and space, when Manqing entered the customs, it could rely on the strong troops to suppress the resistance of all levels of society. At the same time, the Nanming court at that time was too unsatisfactory. Vulnerability.
But now it is different. Shang Yi, the wings of the big butterfly fan, have sparked a powerful storm.
A military force that is enough to fight against the Qing court is no longer vulnerable. Therefore, the negative side of these policies in the Qing Dynasty will also be magnified by one by one, so that it will become the weakness that the Qing court is difficult to overcome.
Therefore, Shang Yi also immediately ordered the members of the United Front Work Department and the divisions of the divisions to open the military conference. At the meeting, Wu Hansheng first reported the news from the information to everyone. From the current signs of Beijing, the Qing court
It is indeed preparing a new round of southern invasion. The time of the camp should be in the sixth year of next year. Maybe around October this year, it will start a small -scale battle in the early stage.
This is a large estimation of the merchant army. According to the estimation, the Qing court will not launch a large -scale attack at least one year next year.
Xuzhou, obtaining the initiative of the Central Plains region, but now it seems that it is not so easy to capture Xuzhou. Therefore, the generals are also discussing, and obviously they feel very surprised.
At this time, Shang Yi said: "Although the southern invasion of the Qing court is faster than we expected, but this does not mean, it will disrupt our branches of Xuzhou.
There is nothing terrible. We just defeated them for more than two months?
"At the same time, after the defeat of the prisoner, he rushed to the south of the south. He had committed a lot of taboos. The first was that the strongest eight flags of the Qing Dynasty had only 100,000 people. In the early battle, nearly 30 % of the casualties were close to 30 %
Although the personnel can be transferred in the short term, the quality of the recruits cannot be compared with the veterans, and the Qinglai has become a new and new camp.
Organizing formal military establishment, but this has weakened the strength of each flag, so it will also cause conflicts between the Qing court and the flags. In battle, this contradiction will definitely affect the combat effectiveness of the Manchu army.
"
"And the army is just one aspect. The comprehensive strength is fighting. Since the entrance to the customs in March last year, Manchu has not stopped war, so it has also consumed a lot of manpower and material resources.
The region is vast, but since Chongzhen, the northern years of disasters, the war in the year, have long been in the countryside, and after Manchu entered the customs, it was looted. Therefore, the north was repeatedly painted.
Manchu is now disregarding the national treasury, the people's fatigue, and the intention of the south invasion. I see that their national strength can only support one year.
"In addition, the Qing court had only one year in China, and the foundation of the northern rule was originally unstable, and did not trust the original Ming Dynasty officials, and also promulgated the land order to take advantage of the land.
In the past, the troops were too strong, so no one dared to resist, but now we have defeated the unbeaten myth of the army in the Battle of Jianghuai. Now as long as we can resist for a while, there will be someone in the north.
It will be difficult to take care of, and we can just enter the marching, and we can recover the lost place in one fell swoop and completely defeat the Manchu. "
After listening to Shang Yi's words, the generals couldn't help but have a lot of energy, and at the same time, confidence was doubled. Of course, this is also because the whole merchant army is very high, and there is no sense of fear of the Qing army.
Seeing the expression of the general, Shang Yi was also very satisfied, and said, "But we cannot invade the Church's return to the south of the south. As the so -called arrogant soldiers must be defeated, we must be fully prepared
Let's talk about how to deal with the southern conventions of the Qing army. Everyone can speak as much as possible, and there are any opinions and opinions. "
Li Yan first spoke: "Adults, I think the expansion of the army should be hurriedly, at least to complete it from October in advance. The remaining two or three months should be the training period of the recruits.
We can enter the battle. "A pause, Li Yan said again:" If we can determine that the Qing prison cannot be sent to a big troops this year, I think we can send people first.
Send troops, take the lead in attacking Xuzhou, and take the initiative. "
Shang Yi nodded, and said, "This opinion, I think it is worth considering, what do you think."
Later, Luo Yuanbin also said: "Adults, Li Shengxian's opinions are of course good. If I am the general of Qinglai, then the southern invasion will never invest a lot of troops in the Jianghuai battlefield, only use less troops to contain us in Jianghuai, and then concentrate on concentration.
The main force, attacking Huguang, quickly defeated Li Zicheng, and then under the south of the river to make progress in Nanjing. In Nanjing, Zhejiang will have nothing to cover. In this way, even if we capture Xuzhou, I am afraid it will be worth it. "
Wang Xinye said: "Mr. Luo said nothing wrong, so we need to prepare early. I think is it stationed in Anqing's army, and then cooperate with our army.
Alice, at least you can keep Nanjing. "
Yang Wudi said: "Although the idea of Mr. Wang is good, I am afraid it is difficult to implement it. Now the Nanjing court has suspicioned our merchant army. Will we let us garrison in Anqing government? I think it is better to go to Wuchang instead of the garrison in Anqing.
At least we have experienced Li Zicheng's experience of resisting Qing, and they are stationed directly in Wuchang. We can also block the Qing army in Huguang, and Nanjing is more safer. "
Luo Yuanbin said: "Now Wuchang is Li Zicheng's territory. Although we have previously supported his army to resist the Qing prison, after all, it is hatred. I think he will not let us take the army in Wuchang. Even if Li Zicheng let us station in Wuchang,
, But the front of the front is pulled too long. The Qing army can completely bypass Wuchang and directly attack Jiujiang. It can not only cut off the return of Wuchang people, but also attack the people and horses of Wuchang back and forth. This is too dangerous.
Therefore, I think it ’s better to stay in Anqing. Not only is the front line shorter, but also the back of Nanjing, there is no need to do the back of the heart. As long as you do n’t let the Qingjun army continue to go eastward, we will wait for us to capture Xuzhou and the Qing army in Huaibei.
I will retreat without fighting. "
At this time, Cheng Jin said: "Adults, I don't think we have to garrison in Anqing. If Qinglai really puts the main person's horse on the front line of Huguang, we don't have to control it. After the army soldiers are under the city, the Nanjing court will naturally adjust us into Beijing.
Standing, so as long as we keep Nanjing, we can keep Zhejiang. "
Wang Xin shook his head again and again, saying: "Although Nanjing's urban defense is strong, the region is too large, and there are no troops of five divisions. I am afraid it is difficult to keep it. It is better to stay in Anqing. Like other ministers regardless of the overall situation, it is better to find him, maybe you can do it. "
Cheng Jindao: "I haven't finished saying yet, I mean, instead of thinking about keeping Nanjing, it is better to concentrate their strengths, capture Xuzhou, and then march in the situation. Henan and Hebei, in this way, the backline of the Qinglai is difficult to protect. See if the prisoner can still hold the troops. "
As soon as his plan was spoken, everyone sitting was a little surprised, but only Shang Yi was calm, but Li Yan smiled.
In fact, the plan of Chengjin is in conjunction with Shang Yi's mind. Although Shang Yi estimates that if you find Shi Kefa and Wu Yan, Chen Ming's profit, it is not impossible to obtain the right to garrison in Anqing. Holding the nose, it is really better to send troops to tease Xuzhou, and then continue to attack north. This is also a kind of plan to save Wei to save Zhao, but it is also that the initiative of the war situation can be in your own hands.
If the Nanjing court dispatched troops to the Anqing government at the same time, it was good. It was not a big deal after the merchant army completed the expansion. I simply did not leave the death of the Nanjing court, so that Manqing helped himself to destroy the Nanjing court, but it saved himself a lot of trouble. At the same time, he was stationed in the Qing army in Zhejiang. After all, he has been operating in Zhejiang for two years. I can't keep Zhejiang.
Of course, the latter reason cannot be said, but always grasping the initiative of the battlefield is one of the main principles of the merchant military operations. There is a plan to choose to enter. It is indeed an unknown whether the merchant army stationed in Anqing at the same time. At the same time, the plan to station in Anqing has not been completely abandoned. It can be said that they are both pronged. Therefore, everyone also agrees to Shang Yi's decision. It is still me.
Therefore, Shang Yi finally ordered that before October, he had to complete the expansion, and at the same time ordered Luo Yuanbin to return to Sizhou to station. The movement of the movement as soon as possible to judge the real marching plan of the Qing army as soon as possible. The entire Zhejiang also continued to prepare materials to ensure the need for combat. Fortunately, the entire Zhejiang material reserves are still very rich, although a considerable part of the use of the Jianghuai campaign, a considerable part of the use, But there are still a lot of left, and now there are still about four months from the beginning of the battle. You can also buy a material in both Guangdong and Guangxi, Jiangxi and other places. Therefore, it is enough to maintain this war. Yi is obviously better than the Qing court.
