Chapter Twelve Comprehensive Offensive Plan (Part 2)
? When the rebel army attacked Zichuan County, Abate of Jinan also sent troops to quell the rebellion. "" Compared with the regular army of the Qing army, the combat effectiveness of the rebel army was obviously much worse, so although the rebel army
After conquering Zichuan County, the Qing army also successively regained Gaoyuan, Xincheng, Changshan and other counties. The rebel armies in various places were defeated by the Qing army, and more than half of their troops were lost.
After Xie Qian and other leaders of the rebel army discussed it, they decided to concentrate their existing troops and garrison Zichuan County, and then ask for help from the Chinese army in Qingzhou.
In fact, when Xie Qian's uprising broke out, Zhou Shaohuan of the Shandong Military Region had already received the news. He ordered all armies to gather forces and prepare for battle. At the same time, he also sent a report to Nanjing, suggesting that the Xie Qian uprising should be used to
Taking advantage of the opportunity, they launched an attack on the front lines of Jinan and Yanzhou, defeated the Qing troops of Abatai tribe, and captured the entire territory of Shandong Province.
At this time, Shang Yi had not received the news from the naval fleet, but he had been thinking about which side of Nanyang, Xuzhou, and Jinan would launch an attack next. At the beginning, Shang Yi tended to launch an attack on Nanyang first.
Attack, because the Qing court's troops in Nanyang are relatively weak and far away from Beijing, which is relatively more beneficial to the Chinese army, although Shang Yi is also convinced that the Chinese army
The strength of the Chinese army was greater than that of the Qing army, but this time it sent troops to launch a comprehensive attack on the Qing court. It was different from the previous defensive counterattacks or strategic counterattacks. Therefore, Shang Yi still planned to choose a safer plan. And captured Nanyang.
After that, you can attack Guanzhong to the west, Henan to the east, and Shanxi to the north. You can attack from all sides and have more room for maneuver.
But after receiving Zhou Shaohuan's report, Shang Yi also realized that good opportunities did appear in Shandong. Therefore, he also began to consider the plan of attacking Shandong first. However, once the Chinese army occupied Shandong, it would be equivalent to intercepting the Qing government.
The two sections can directly threaten the Beijing area at the same time, which means that it will launch an all-out decisive battle with the Qing court. Shang Yi is still not sure whether the Chinese army is ready for this.
What made Shang Yi finally make up his mind to launch a campaign to attack Shandong was when he received the news of the combined fleet's victory two days later.
When I received the news, it was already evening. Shang Yi had finished dinner and was playing with his children and his wives. At this time, the guard sent the battle report. After reading it, Shang Yi was very excited because
This means that the Fubo Army can attack the areas along the Bohai Sea from the sea at any time.
To launch an attack, Qing Ting had to deploy a large number of troops on the front line of Tianjin and Beijing to ensure the safety of Beijing. It can be said that the Nanjing government was in an invincible position in this war. So Shang Yi picked up his daughter, who was still alive.
, and gave everyone a few kisses, which also made the wives and concubines angry for a while.
Although not everyone understood the significance of this victory, it was a victory after all, and everyone was happy. At that time, Shang Yi was about to issue an order to summon members of the cabinet and the United Front Work Department to convene a military meeting. Fortunately,
He was persuaded by Ye Yaoqi. It was already dark at this time. Although the military situation was urgent, it was not at this time. Let's wait until tomorrow.
Although Shang Yi followed Ye Yaoyao's advice and did not convene a military meeting immediately, he locked himself in the study room and thought about the map for most of the night, and finally worked out a comprehensive battle plan. First, Shandong
The military region launches its campaign to Jinan and Yanzhou front lines
An all-out attack to seize the entire Shandong Province and contain the Qing Dynasty's north and south; then the Huguang Military Region attacked Nanyang, cut off the Qing Dynasty's east and west, and formed an encirclement of the Henan region; then the Huainan Military Region sent troops to jointly attack Henan Province and capture
Central Plains region.
As a result, Qing Ting was forced to concentrate his forces and fight the final decisive battle with the Chinese Army in the Central Plains. However, at this time, the Chinese Army had already captured Nanyang and Shandong and gained full initiative on the battlefield, so it was extremely certain of victory.
. Even if it is difficult to win,
You can also hold still and launch an attack on Tianjin and Beijing by sea, forcing the Qing government to return troops to rescue them. In this way, you can occupy the Central Plains area in one fell swoop. Finally, you can send your troops to the north and directly capture Beijing; you can send your army to the west and capture Guanzhong first.
Any land can unify China.
Early the next morning, Shang Yi immediately convened a military meeting and announced to everyone the battle plan he had thought about last night. No one had much objection to Shang Yi's battle plan. In fact, after the past two years of development, and
After the victory in two overseas wars,
Many officials in the Nanjing government began to think about sending troops to the Northern Expedition, completely defeating the Qing Dynasty, and entering Beijing so that they could formally establish the country and become a founding member. In addition, everyone had full respect for Shang Yi.
He believed that the plan he formulated would be feasible.
However, Li Yan and Du Yinxi of the United Front Work Department are both mature and prudent people, and they also know that the art of war must be decisive. Although they agree with Shang Yi's plan, they also put forward some additional suggestions, mainly to guard against Wu Sangui in Sichuan and the three in the south.
The Southern Ming Dynasty. Although in the past two years, all parties
None of them had conflicts with the Nanjing government, but this was based on the rough balance of power between Nanjing and the Qing court. Once Nanjing won militarily and gained a relatively large advantage over the Qing court, other forces also
It may not be possible that we will remain so inactive.
Although the three Southern Ming dynasties were not of concern, and Shang Kexi in Guangdong was restrained by Zheng Chenggong, Wu Sangui in Sichuan was a strong enemy. Sichuan was rich in products and resources, and the wars it had suffered in the late Ming Dynasty were not the same.
Not much, social production is relatively stable, and Wu Sangui is also very talented in local governance. In the past two years, he has also established a foothold in Sichuan and is quite popular. The number of troops has expanded to 200,000. We must not underestimate the enemy.
Moreover, both Hubei and Hunan are adjacent to Sichuan. Once the troops of the Huguang Military Region are deployed on the battlefield in the Central Plains, the defense of the two lakes will inevitably be empty. If Wu Sangui takes advantage of this opportunity and enters, it will indeed be very dangerous. Therefore, when the Huguang Military Region advances towards Nanyang,
This cannot be avoided at all.
After listening to their opinions, Shang Yi also felt that these questions were very timely. After all, the plan he came up with overnight would inevitably have some imperfections and needed to be further completed. Of course, some plans must also be based on the specific conditions of the battlefield.
It depends on the situation, but attacking Shandong first was unanimously approved by everyone. Therefore, after the meeting, the United Front Department immediately ordered Shandong and ordered Zhou Shaohuan to launch a full-scale attack and occupy Shandong.
In the following days, all departments of the Nanjing government were also very busy, because the Nanjing cabinet had officially announced that the Chinese army would launch a full-scale attack on Qingtong, so all departments must fully cooperate.
The United Front Work Department mobilized financial, material and manpower to support this war.
Although Zhou Shiqi is no longer serving as the chief minister of the cabinet, he is serving as the director of the Coordination and Training Department, responsible for the preparatory planning work for occupying new areas and establishing administrative agencies in the future. Although he is not busy at ordinary times, now that the war is about to begin, he will lead the new
area will appear soon, so Zhou Shiqi's work is also faster than usual
There are a lot more. And Zhou Shaoqing's position as Minister of Finance is now even more important. It can be said that the two most important departments are responsible for the two most important departments. Therefore, the day after the news of launching a full-scale attack was announced,
Shang Yi also made a special trip to meet with Zhou Shiqi, Zhou Shaoqing and his son, on the one hand to arrange tasks for this battle.
After coming out of the palace, Zhou Shaoqing also seemed very excited and said: "Dad, the prince is finally going to launch a large-scale northern expedition, and this time, Zhou Shaohuan is the first to send troops. It seems that the prince still values our Zhou family the most, and he will be the first to make the first move in the future." , it has to be my Zhou family."
Zhou Shiqi said: "Shaoqing, are you eager to become a hero of Conglong?"
Zhou Shaoqing was startled for a moment and said, "Dad, what do you mean by this? Now that we have reached this point, there is no other way for us to go but to establish a dynasty."
Zhou Shiqi smiled faintly and said: "I'm not saying that we shouldn't start a dynasty, but I want to remind you that since ancient times, the founding heroes rarely died well, so you must not be careless."
After Zhou Shaoqing heard this, he couldn't help but trembled in his heart. After all, he was also a person who was familiar with classics and history. Of course, he knew that most of the founding heroes of the past dynasties were tabooed by their rulers. He almost killed all the founding heroes in one fell swoop during the Han and Ming dynasties, but he But he was still a little unwilling and said: "Dad, not all dynasties will be unfavorable to the founding heroes. For example, the second generation of the Tang and Song dynasties took good care of the founding heroes. I think with the magnanimity of King Jingbei, he will never It will be under the Tang Zong and Song Zu, so it may not be..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhou Shiqi: "I also believe that he is not the kind of person who kills heroes, but the power of God is unpredictable. Who dares to guarantee this kind of thing? What's more, we, the Zhou family's father, are three children. , have all held high-ranking official positions, and your brother also has a large number of soldiers, so it is inevitable that he will be jealous of others. As the saying goes, 'Every man has no fault, and he will be guilty of it.'"
Zhou Shaoqing couldn't help being silent for a moment and said, "Dad, what should we do?"
Zhou Shiqi said: "Last year I resigned from the position of chief minister of the cabinet in order to reduce the power of my Zhou family so as not to become the target of public criticism. Therefore, once the King of Jingbei really unified the world, my father should immediately retire and return to his hometown. You brothers can still be here When serving in the imperial court, you must remember to be modest and prudent, not to take credit for your own arrogance, nor to form cliques for self-protection, or to have different ambitions. If you see that the situation is not right, retreat bravely, and do not be greedy for power. This is the way to save your life. In fact, this is On the other hand, although your second brother is young, he knows better than you about advancement and retreat, and knows the overall situation. Although you are energetic and capable, you are too focused on power and fame, so I have to remind you."
Zhou Shaoqing couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and said: "Dad, my child must be taught a lesson. After the beginning of the court, he must remember dad's teachings and never make any mistakes."
