Shaoxing Mansion is another mess at this time.

The Tartars attacked from the south, and the eunuch Zhu Yujiao ordered the four guards of Shaoxing Mansion to be transferred to Yuyao to prepare to meet the enemy.

But above the court, two voices appeared.

It's nothing more than fighting and fleeing.

Zhu Yihai reverted to his old state, and he strongly suggested that Wu Zhengbu be summoned to help, and at the same time the imperial court should be evacuated to Hangzhou.

This tone was seconded by almost half of the courtiers.

Zhu Yujiao's prestige was not enough to deter these people.

In addition, Zhu Yihai himself was a vassal king, and he was appointed by Zhu Yujiao to participate in politics.

This has caused everyone to laugh and laugh when there is nothing to do, and when there is something to do, they will turn into two factions and set up another mountain.

Although these courtiers did not have military power in their hands, their political power should not be underestimated.

All of them are old ministers of the former dynasty, but all the advice is based on the scriptures, and they keep saying that they are for the court, for the world, and for the country, which is irrefutable.

Before Wu Zheng forced Zhu Yihai to go to the state position and support Zhu Yujiao, they did not object, not because they agreed and were convinced, but because they were subject to the force in Wu Zheng's hands.

Now that Wu Zheng is leading the troops, the deterrent effect on them has been greatly reduced.

If it was a good situation, they could go with the flow, but now, when Shaoxing is in danger, their first thought is to escape.

Zhang Guowei's temperament is soft, Qian Sule is more than just and the pressure is insufficient, and Zhang Huangyan's qualifications are a big problem.

In addition, this Tartar attack is different from the previous ones, the first two times, one is a small group of Tartar invasion, and the other is Fang Guoan's rebellion, although it sounds like there are a lot of rebels, but after all, it is a new surrender of the Ming army, and these two times are Zhu Yihai's initiative to take the lead.

Then this time, Duoduo led a large army to Shaoxing Mansion, and in terms of momentum, Shaoxing Mansion was already a must.

Therefore, this time it was the minister's initiative to move in, and Zhu Yihai went with the flow.

From Fenghua to Shaoxingfu, all the way to Pingchuan, there is no pass to defend at all, and Shaoxingfu's defense force against the Qing army is mostly northward, and the enemy will never be considered from the south.

Therefore, Zhu Yujiao hastily transferred troops to Yuyao, and no one believed that the Ming army would win.

In their view, the redeployment of troops to resist was only to buy time for the imperial court to move in.

As for what kind of negative impact the transfer will have on the resisting Ming army, this is not something they need to consider, there are many Ming people, and it is nothing for them to die some, and when it is safe, they will be recruited again.

Zhu Yujiao couldn't stop Zhu Yihai, and she couldn't stop the courtiers who seconded Zhu Yihai, at this time, she only had anger and remorse in her heart.

The children of the royal family do not have a fuel-efficient lamp.

Their political abilities may be innate.

When Zhu Yujiao took office as the superintendent, she instinctively became wary of Wu Zheng.

This has nothing to do with having affection for Wu Zheng, nor is it directly related to the advice of important ministers such as Qian Sule to restrain Wu Zheng.

Imperial power lies in balance, and this point, the royal family has no teacher, and it has become an instinct since childhood.

Zhu Yujiao is not attached to authority, but she knows one thing, letting a powerful minister in charge of military power is not protecting him, but harming him.

At this point, she has seen a lot by her father's side.

Therefore, she kept Zhu Yihai by her side, one is that after all, Zhu Yihai is the Zhu family, as the saying goes, bones are connected to tendons, and the other is because Zhu Yihai has a gap with Wu Zheng, Zhu Yihai is the former supervisor of the country, and he has a group of supporters above the court, so that Wu Zheng's power in the court can be balanced.

When both sides hold each other back, a balance can be created.

But Zhu Yujiao regrets it now, so she should listen to Wu Zheng and completely drive Zhu Yihai out of the court.

It's not that Zhu Yujiao doesn't want to retreat to Hangzhou, but she understands better that if she retreats to Hangzhou, the more than 10,000 Ming troops will probably disperse in a hurry.

Only by firmly guarding the Shaoxing Mansion can the soldiers of the Ming army resist fiercely.

This is the only thing she can do and what she can.

Leave herself behind, let Ken's loyal ministers who follow her stay, gather the forces of Shaoxing Mansion, and fight a hopeless war.

At this time, Zhu Yujiao longed for Wu Zheng to come back to help, but she hoped that Wu Zheng would not come back to help, but could recover Yingtianfu.

A sixteen-year-old girl who is under pressure that is not commensurate with her age.

Fortunately, with the strong support of Zhang Guowei, Qian Sule, Zhang Huangyan and others, otherwise Zhu Yujiao may not even be able to control the situation in Shaoxing Mansion, and even the four guards will not be able to be mobilized.

……。

Out of Wuxi to the northwest, about more than 200 miles, is Huishan.

Not far north of Huishan is Gaoqiao.

Takahashi is a small town with a small population and is built on a hill.

The official road thus produced a twist, with a hillside on one side and a small river on the other.

An encounter took place at this turning point.

Wu Zheng launched a counterattack without knowing whether he was alive or dead, and it was necessary for him.

In the middle of the battlefield, once you retreat, there will be a chain reaction.

It's very difficult to hold on to your position, except, of course, the elite.

Obviously, what Wu Zheng's command can barely be called elite is the 3,000 people brought out from Lianghu.

The rest was just a mixture of various subordinate armies and a more complex composition of the rebel armies.

Lack of training is secondary, and the most important thing is that this army is better suited to fighting a tailwind battle.

It is a miracle that this army was able to resist to the end in the Battle of Suzhou.

Investigate the causes, there are nothing more than two, one is to break the city to boost the morale of the soldiers, and then slowly offset it, fortunately, there was no rout all the way at that time, Wu Zheng understood very well that as long as there was a rout all the way, a chain reaction would occur, and the rout of the whole army would not be far away.

In addition, most of this army is old oil, and they know that they can't withdraw at that time, and they can't withdraw at all, and once they withdraw the tartars, they will bite and hold on, and they may still have a glimmer of life to the death, but they will be chased and killed 100% once they retreat.

It was for these two reasons that all the soldiers did not retreat in the face of the onslaught of the Qing army.

But now the situation is completely different, they can retreat, and the sky is wide and the birds can fly.

This is the same as the principle of encircling three queyi, when there is a way to live, there is an instinct to escape.

If Wu Zheng does not launch a counterattack, tens of thousands of troops will become a thousand miles away.

Retreated, unable to stop his heels at all.

Then not only Wuxi, Suzhou, and Songjiang, which have just eaten the fruits in their mouths, will all be spit out, but they may even be extended to Jiaxing Mansion and Hangzhou Mansion.

In this way, there was a trend of being attacked by the north and south of the Tartars, and at that time, even if the king of heaven Laozi helped, he could not save Shaoxing Mansion.

Therefore, Wu Zheng must counterattack, block the momentum of the Tartar pursuit, and win time for the Ming army to return and consolidate the defense.

This battle of Takahashi is a classic.

The Tartars had a total of 12,000 people, of whom 5,000 were cavalry, the cavalry of the Eight Banners.

Wu Zheng only had more than 4,000 cavalry under his command.

This is an absolute disadvantage, both in terms of numbers and the combat strength of the unit.
