Although the struggle of these power in the Qing court has nothing to do with Shang Yi, the more powerful the Qing court fights, the greater the consumption. Of course, it is beneficial for Shang Yi.
After Sichuan, it means that there will be a new threat in the west. It is Hunan, which borders Sichuan, and the two provinces of Hubei, and the situation will be complicated.
At the same time, Jirhalang was ordered to go south to the supervisor. Although it was said that Dole's murderer was killed by a knife, Jirhalang may not be able to stand up, and he must try his best to strengthen the defense of Jiangbei.
Starting, jointly resisting the offensive of the Merchant Army, it will also add the difficulty of collecting Hubei.
Moreover, the first military region established by the Merchant Army, the Hubei Military Region, was formally established. The Command was located in Wuchang. After the return of the cross -sea raid fleet, the special corps participating in Shengjing also returned to the division.
The losses of the divisions of the Sixth Army have also been supplemented. Therefore, the strength of the Hubei Military Region Group Army has basically reached a full person, a total of about 70,000 troops.
The Army and the Eighth Army stationed in Wuchang Government.
Now the Merchant Army has occupied Wuchang and Huangzhou two government in Hubei. They are in the southeast of Hubei.
Zhongxiang County.
Therefore, Shang Yi also decided to take advantage of the Qing Army that the Qing army has just received Sichuan. Based on the stability, it is temporarily unable to go out to reinforce the Hubei battlefield.
In the battle, first regain Hubei, and then take Anhui and Jiangsu to achieve the goal of occupying six provinces in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
At this moment, Shang Yi also received the official documents from the Command of the Hubei Military Region. Li Dingguo, Duan Peng, Li Mu and others also suggested to Shang Yi and immediately started to launch the battle for Hubei.
In addition to these, there is another important reason. The loyal camps who retreated to western Hubei and Sichuan Jiāo circles sent someone to Wuchang to contact the merchant army to explain to the merchant army and help the merchant army to capture Hubei.
The loyal camp is the remaining part of the Dashun Army. Now, now Li Zicheng's post -camp system will be led by Li Zi, General Zuo Wei, the Da Shun army will still be Liu Fangliang, Liu Shunchun, Yuan Zongdi, Liu Rukui, Niu Wancai
, Ma Chongxi, Zhang Neng, Tian Hu and others. In addition, Li Zicheng's wife Gao, and the governor of Hubei in the Ming Dynasty blocked Xixi.
The remaining part of the Dushun army returned to the Longwu court more than a year ago.
It is called Gao Bizheng, and the department is called "loyal camp".
After He Teng's soldiers defeated Hunan, the loyal camp was also defeated by the Qing army, and Li Zicheng's third brother Li Zi, Zhang Yan, Li You, Wu Ruyi and others surrendered to the Qing army.
Hid in the mountainous areas of Jingzhou Prefecture and Jiāo world in Jingzhou Prefecture and Puzhou Prefecture.
Fortunately, at this time the Qing army's attention was in the Jiangnan area, so the loyal camp was fully fulfilled. At this time, there were only 60,000 people left in the whole army.
30,000.
There are many mountains and dense mountains in the East area. Although they can hide themselves, they have a small population. It is difficult to obtain food supplements.
You can move into Shaanxi, and everyone has a lot of opinions, and the discussion is not the same. At this moment, the loyal camp has also received the news that the family army has recovered Nanjing and entered Hubei. At this time, the news of Wuchang and Huangzhou have been overcome.
Therefore, it is better to send someone to the Wuchang government to get a contact with the merchant army to get the merchant army to reject the Qing army.
The suggestions of blocking Xixi have also been unanimously approved by everyone. Of course, because of the name of the merchant army, of course, the loyal camp is known for a long time, and it is quite admirable.
Finding the teeth. At the same time, the generals who are loyal to camp also know that Li Yan and the brothers Li Mu are now effective in Shang Yi's subordinates. It is said that Hún is quite good and is very reused by Shang Yi.
However, for a long time, the merchant army has been in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and the main activities of the loyal camp are in the middle of the Yangtze River. The two parties have no closer place, so they cannot contact them. But now the merchant army has occupied Wuchang.
Recently, if Shang Yi can accept the loyal camp, of course, it is not better. So Li Guo immediately sent someone to Wuchang to get a contact with the merchant army to discuss the surrender.
At this time, Li Mu, who was stationed in Wuchang, was very familiar with the generals of the loyal camp, and Li Dingguo was the old ministry of Zhang Xianzhong. Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng had fought side by side for a while. Therefore
There have been a few noodles, and you are also very welcome to the return of the loyal camp.
Although it is said that the fighting power of the loyal camp is nothing in the eyes of the merchant army? After all, it has always been in the Hubei region. It is very familiar with the geographical environment of this area, and the current position of the loyal camp is just upstream.
Hubei is still helpful. In addition, Li Dingguo and Li Mu also thought that in the Qing army, there were still many former generals of the Army, such as Tian Jianxiu, Li Zi, Zhang Ye, Li You, Wu Ruyi and others. If
Recruiting loyal camps, and then rejuvenating the generals of the Dalun Army to surrender the merchant army, it is even more beneficial to recovering Hubei Da.
Therefore, Li Dingguo also proposed a combat plan on the basis of recruiting loyal camps. There are two troops: from north to south to westward, respectively, and the sixth army from the sixth army to send troops from Huangzhou Prefecture, enter the Deanfu, and restrain the Qing Dynasty of Chengtianfu.
The army sent troops from the Wuchang government on the other hand, and the loyal camp hit Jingzhou Mansion, charged southwest Hubei, and also cut off the Qing army to rescue Jiāo from Sichuan to Hubei.
Enter the Tianfu in one fell swoop and collect the whole territory of Hubei.
At the same time, Li Dingguo also proposed that if it is possible, the third army in Hunan will be able to come out of some troops to support the recovery of Hubei operations.
After receiving the proposal of the Hubei Military Region Command, Shang Yi was also very happy. This is also the same as the heroes. Of course, there is also a loyal camp. Shang Yi has become famous for several years.
There are not many active surrender to surrender to their own forces, but when they attack Nanjing, the pardon and loyalty fell, and now there are loyal camps to take the initiative to ask for return, which also shows that my reputation has reached a new height.
For power, it has also begun to be quite attractive.
Therefore, Shang Yi immediately recruited the United Front Work Department to open a meeting to discuss this combat plan proposed by the Hubei Military Region Command, as well as the conditions for recruiting loyal camps.
Hubei was originally ranked among the fighting plans of the merchant army, so everyone agreed that the Hubei campaign should now be launched to recover the whole border of Hubei and ensure the safety of Nanjing upstream. And now that the Hunan Jingjing is basically set, you can completely produce some troops to support the battle in Hubei.
And the return of the loyal camp, everyone agreed. First of all, the merchant army and the Ming Dynasty were not the same. There were no sè glasses to look at the peasant uprising army. The concept of revenge, the division of righteousness and evil, and now in the merchant army, there are people of the Dashun Army, and the Atlantic Army, so it is no longer to collect a few more. In the precedent of hanging, everyone also believes that it can be appropriately relaxed.
Shang Yi's change of Jin Shengyu is not that there is anything wrong. After all, with the conditions of Jin Shengyu at that time, it can only be given such treatment. It is impossible to give it more. The biggest difference between Hao Xiaoyong and other people is that the loyal camp did not surrender the Qing court, but has been fighting the stubborn battle with the Qing army. It belongs to a firm position and has no political stain. The Xìng quality of the two peasant rebels at the end of the Ming Dynasty, although there are many controversial places, in the position of anti -Qing Dynasty, although some of these two peasant uprising soldiers surrendered the Qing army, as the overall overall army, as the overall general In terms of the confrontation with the Qing court, it has always persisted to the end. It is indeed much more firm than most Ming Army.
On the other hand, the loyal camp is also the first to be under pressure from the merchant army. Basically, the two sides basically actively put forward the forces of the merchant army. From these two points, they should also give it to it. Their necessary conditions they need are also an example for attracting other forces. Of course, this cannot violate the major principles of the merchant army.
Therefore, Shang Yi immediately ordered the Lord of the United Front Work Department to order the Hubei Military Region to start the offense immediately, regain the entire border of Hubei, and order Yang Wudi, who was stationed in Changsha. State Guard, cooperate with the Hubei Military Region to fight.
At the same time, he ordered Li Yan, who was sitting in Nanjing, and let him immediately rush to Wuchang to fully pay responsibility to surrender the affairs of the loyal camp and strive to make this matter.
Allowing the faith camps to be compiled into two brigades, and the troops will accept the co -formulation of the merchant army. The candidates of the brigade, the brigade, and the subordinate officers at all levels of the high school can be selected by themselves. These two brigades will be included in the Seventh Army and the Eighth Army, but the general Shun Army who rejuvenated after the settlement will not be listed, and Shangyi will be arranged by Shang Yi;
Shang Yi guarantees the supply of military, food, weapons, armor and other supplies of the loyal camp, including firearms, and other troops with the merchant army. In the future battles, it will talk about the awards, but after the adaptation, the loyal camp must respect The military discipline of the merchant army, obey the command;
The family members of the loyal camp and Mrs. Gao must not act in the army, but they can be resettled in Wuchang Government. Shang Yi can ensure that the houses, fields and other living materials are guaranteed;
The ownership of Judong Xixi can be freely selected. If the original intention is to go to Shangyi, he can serve in the Ministry of Administration or the United Front Department. He also allows him to leave the merchant army and go to the foundation of Nanming forces.
