Chapter 137: Shocking
Nanchang, has always had the beauty of the three rivers and the five lakes, the geographical situation is dangerous, and it is also the key to controlling the south of the Yangtze River, so it has always been a battleground for soldiers.
Cha Bina was stationed here, and the 100,000 Qing troops under his command were stationed in the area of Nanchang Prefecture, if it was according to the original plan, as long as the army was ready, it would advance by land and water all the way to capture Jiujiang, and then approach Wuchang.
However, after Ning Yu marched into Jiangxi, this plan basically failed, with the record of the Fu Han army in Changsha City with 20,000 people to defeat the 40,000 green battalion, at least 40,000 Qing troops are needed in Nanchang to ensure that they are safe, otherwise if Cha Bina takes people to fight Jiujiang regardless of it, Ning Yu comes to a black tiger to take Nanchang with a heart, then Cha Bina's 100,000 Qing army is almost self-defeating without a fight in the case of cutting off support.
Since ancient times, the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass have gone first. For example, the Beijing camp led by Kangxi himself is only 50,000, plus Nian Qianyao's 30,000 Shaanxi soldiers are only 80,000, and these 80,000 people need at least 200,000 people to be transported to supply them. Only this rich Jiangnan can really pull out an army of 100,000 and ensure its logistical preparations.
Although Cha Bina can pull out 100,000 Qing troops, but without Nanchang, there is no way to ensure the food, drink and Lazar of these 100,000 people, so for him, Nanchang must not be lost, if he can't capture Wuchang, it's fine, but if he loses Nanchang, he will have to be with Yang Lin at that time.
Judging from the current form, if there is no Nanchang transshipment, it should be the turn of Anqing, Hangzhou, Huizhou and other places to transship, but in that case, the distance will not only double, but the intermediate grain and grass expenses will not be doubled, and it will not be able to meet the needs of the 100,000 army at all.
As the saying goes, attacking the enemy will be saved, the Qing court wanted to attack Wuchang of the Han army, but it also had to guard against the idea of the Han army attacking his Nanchang. Therefore, when Ning Yu's first division appeared in Yuanzhou Mansion, Cha Bina's hair was almost several white, he was not from the army, and he also felt a headache at this time.
In desperation, Cha Bina convened the generals to discuss how to deal with it, but the people who dispatched were all Green Camp generals, in this matter, Cha Bina still didn't want to stir up the Eight Banners in this matter, he had been an official for so many years, and he had a thorough grasp of Kangxi's thoughts, so he acted extremely cautiously.
Dozens of green battalion generals gathered together, several admirals lined up on the left and right, and the rest of the officers like the deputy general and staff general could only stand aside, everyone wearing armor, looking quite mighty.
A gray-haired veteran sat in the first place on his right hand, although this person was quite old, but his face was ruddy and his bearing was like, and the rest of the generals looked at the old man with a look of fear on their faces, which seemed to be more respectful than Chabina.
The veteran was not ambiguous, and arched his hand: "Lord Taiwan, now Chu Rebellion is rampant, and he sees no one in my Green Camp Army, and he actually captured Yuanzhou Mansion under the nose of my 100,000 army, does Lord Taiwan have a good plan?" ”
The veteran seemed to have a faint resentment in his words, and he heard Zha Bina smile bitterly, and he didn't dare to put the governor's shelf at will, and replied: "Brother Yi, this time Chu is going against Jiangxi, I am about to listen to Brother Yi's opinion!" ”
"The old man is old, and he really doesn't dare to say too much to mislead the country." The veteran was polite, but he didn't give face.
As soon as these words came out, the rest of the Green Battalion generals did not show the slightest dissatisfaction, not because they were so gentle and frugal, but because this old man's qualifications and merits were too great.
This veteran is called a high position, the background is not simple, generations of clothed slaves, his ancestor Gao Shangyi in the early years in Tieling from the dragon into the customs, but also got the second-class Ada Hahafan title, and then his father Gao Tianjue is also very competitive, subordinate to the inlaid white flag, and later all the way to the prefect of Jiangxi Jianchang Mansion, and later served as two Huai salt envoys, Wenyuan Pavilion University Scholar, so the officialdom is quite profound.
Under such a family lineage, Gao Qiwei from the beginning of the starting point is very high, the early days were awarded the pen post style, successively from the rebellion of the three feudatories, to the Department of staff to lead the army stationed in Xiangyang, the then rebel general Yang Laijia, Wang Hui led 20,000 people to attack Nanzhang, Gao Qiwei directly led 20 cavalry into Nanzhang, and the defenders of Nanzhang have been holding the city, as a result, the rebels besieged for several days can not go down.
Later, the rebel general Tan Hong led 30,000 people to attack Xunyang, and only brought 100 people to garrison Yangxipu, and held on for more than 70 days.
Later, Gao Qi's position was also trained by the firearms battalion as a captain, and also attacked his ancestor Gao Shangyi second-class Ada Hahafan Jue, and then completely soared into the sky, following the then general Yu Prince Fuquan to fight Galdan, fought in Ulan Butong, and broke the camel battalion of Galdan, so he was promoted to a staff leader, after decades of conquest, successively served as the chief soldier and commander of Xiangyang, and was finally promoted to the governor of Jiangnan by Emperor Kangxi a few days ago.
If that's just the case, it's just that, but the problem is that someone has spread the news, claiming that when the former governor of Liangjiang, Chang Nai, resigned, he planned to let Gao Qiwei act as the governor of Liangjiang.
It wasn't until Cha Bina came to Liangjiang that this veteran was in charge of the green camp system, although he didn't add any difficulties to Cha Bina, but he didn't cooperate well, so that the green camp of the four provinces was unfavorable, and he forced Cha Bina to dismiss the two capable generals under his high position.
But in this way, there are inevitably some gaps between Chabina and Gao Qi's position, and now Chabina wants to use the courage of the green battalion, but it is difficult to avoid this Jiangnan governor, so he has to personally send someone to send the letter to the door, which called the green camp general Zuo in Jiangnan.
Cha Bina held a grudge in his heart, but his face was hidden, he had a smile on his face, "Brother Yi, I have lived in the capital for a long time, and there are many things in the army, and Brother Yi's family lineage, when he beat Zulong into the customs, he was a soldier, and later the brother of the three feudatories also joined the army, which can be called a famous general in the world. ”
There is also a bit of threat in this politeness, what "I have joined the army when I was in the three feudatories", what "don't be stingy with advice", to put it bluntly, they are all from a high position, you are a white-flagged clothed slave, it is already good to be able to get this high position, don't be ignorant.
Gao Qiwei only used Cha Bina's words to spread a few words of resentment, and now when he heard Cha Bina's words, he felt a little sad in his heart, and he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so he sighed slightly at the moment, and said astringently: "The Governor is really polite, but although the old man has not confronted Chu Yi in front of the battle, just looking at those folds, I feel shocked!" ”
