Chapter 488: Li Guoying Enters the Kou (First Update!) Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass! )
Under the planning of Li Guoying, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, the Qing army of Shaanxi entered Sichuan through Hanzhong at the end of August!
Li Guoying's purpose was to plunder, not to storm the city. Just like when the Manchu Qing Dynasty had not yet entered the customs.
As long as he can make money and women, he will not lose this wave of money, let alone brush up on a wave of prestige.
At present, the Qing Dynasty urgently needs a capable person to stand up and support the situation, and Li Guoying feels that he is the most suitable candidate to replace Hong Chengchou. From Hanzhong to Sichuan, the first to bear the brunt is Baoyeongfu.
The Ming army did not have many garrisons in Boryeong, with a total of more than 10,000 people. And this time, Li Guoying brought a full 30,000 people, known as 50,000. The momentum is indeed very bluffing.
The guard of Baoning Mansion was named Ma Zhong, and he was a subordinate of Bai Wenxuan, the king of Gongchang.
It stands to reason that Feng Shuangli, the king of Qingyang, and Bai Wenxuan, the king of Gongchang, are both former generals of the Western Army, and the relationship is not bad.
But recently, there has been news that the two kings are not compatible.
It is said that it was because Bai Wenxuan thought that Feng Shuangli should push the garrison north to Baoning and leave the entire Chengdu Mansion to him.
Feng Shuangli was very dissatisfied.
The two of them were both one of the governors of the five armies of the Great Western Army back then, and they were both county kings canonized by the Great Tomorrow, why could he Bai Wenxuan be so domineering?
The location of Chengdu Province in the whole of Sichuan is unique. In terms of economy and population, other prefectures and counties are completely incomparable with Chengdu Prefecture.
Boryeong is the northern gate of Sichuan, with geographical location and importance.
But compared to Chengdu, Boryeong is very poor.
Bai Wenxuan wanted to arrange his descendants to eat and drink spicy food in Chengdu, and let Feng Shuangli be his barrier, Feng Shuangli naturally felt unhappy.
In fact, the two of them failed to follow the Son of Heaven to the east, and they were somewhat unhappy in their hearts.
The reason for this is probably related to Li Dingguo.
Feng Shuangli was originally Ainengqi's subordinate, and Bai Wenxuan was Sun Kewang's person.
It is needless to say that Enengch is dead.
At the beginning, Sun Kewang rebelled against Ming, and Bai Wenxuan was resolutely on the side of the Son of Heaven.
After Li Dingguo returned to Yunnan as the Son of Heaven, Bai Wenxuan was also crowned king for public service.
But after all, the two are not Li Dingguo's subordinates, and Li Dingguo must still be a little jealous in his heart.
In this Son of Heaven's Eastern Expedition, almost all of the former Western Army were Li Dingguo's henchmen.
Bai Wenxuan and Feng Shuangli were left behind to guard Sichuan, doesn't this mean anything?
Both of them felt uncomfortable, but Bai Wenxuan still had to do something to bully Feng Shuangli, and Feng Shuangli was naturally unconvinced.
Feng Shuangli resolutely refused to move to Baoning.
Bai Wenxuan had no choice but to order his henchman Ma Zhong to garrison Baoning.
Ma Zhong is still relatively stable. There were only more than 10,000 people in total, so he shrank all his soldiers and horses into Boryeong City. As for the forts on the periphery, all were abandoned.
If the enemy army really attacks and will not be able to hold anywhere.
In Ma Zhong's opinion, as long as Boryeong City is not in danger, the rest of the forts will be lost if they are lost.
The result really made him expect.
The Ming army sent a police outpost, and the Qing army entered Koubaoning in a big way.
According to preliminary estimates, the number of Qing troops who entered Kou Baoning this time should be around tens of thousands.
This strength is not too much, it is several times that of the Ming army.
Ma Zhong suddenly became nervous.
His seniority in the original Xiying is very shallow, but he is a partial general under Bai Wenxuan.
Although Bai Wenxuan is now crowned king, his status has also risen. But Ma Zhong actually didn't lead his troops to fight any tough battles alone.
Tens of thousands of Qing troops came at once, which made him very panicked.
Ma Zhong immediately sent a letter to Chengdu for help, and at the same time urgently organized manpower to prepare for the defense of the city.
Boryeong Mansion is an important barrier in Chengdu and must not be missed.
To say that Li Guoying can be said to be an old opponent of the Qing army in Sichuan. This person is ruthless and vicious, cruel in his methods, and will do anything to achieve his goals.
He held it for so long, and finally held back a stomach full of bad water.
I have to say that the timing of Li Guoying's attack on Sichuan was perfect, precisely after the crown prince and Wen Ge Lao left Sichuan.
The Son of Heaven and the King of Jin took almost most of the main forces with them during their crusade.
The crown prince and the royal family moved eastward and took with them thousands of brocade guards.
At present, the garrison of the entire Sichuan is only a few tens of thousands, which is very stretched.
If Li Guoying is determined to take Sichuan, then there is really a tough battle to be fought.
In the final analysis, the position of Hanzhong is too crucial.
In the history of Fangyan, whoever controls Hanzhong has always taken the initiative.
Now that Hanzhong is in the hands of the Qing army, they can attack and retreat.
The Ming army could only defend passively, and it was not known when the Qing army would suddenly kill.
It's a terrible feeling.
This is how Li Guoying entered the Kou this time. There had been almost no warnings. It was not until the Qing army entered the territory of Boryeong that the scouts issued a report.
Ma Zhong scolded Li Guoying's ancestors for the eighteenth generation in his heart, but he still had to personally inspect the defense of the city.
If Baoning City is lost, King Gongchang will not have to cut off his head.
"Bring up the rocks and logs, and be careful. If the Tartars come, these are life-saving things. ”
Ma Zhong ordered sharply.
In his opinion, the Qing army must take Baoning.
Without the bridgehead of Boryeong, the Qing army would have no roots and would not be able to stand.
Bypass Boryeong to fight Chengdu? This is definitely an act of seeking death.
It is taboo for soldiers to go deep alone, and it is easy to be eaten by a wave of dumplings without a response point.
Li Guoying is not a stupid person, this truth should still be understood.
Therefore, no matter from which point of view, Li Guoying will try his best to take Boryeong, and then use Boryeong as a transit station and supply point to further advance in the direction of Chengdu.
For the Ming army, Boryeong must not be lost.
That's why Ma Zhong went to Chengdu for help.
As long as Chengdu sends more troops, there will be no danger to Chengdu if it holds Baoning.
But if Baoning can't hold it, Chengdu is afraid that it will also hang.
What Ma Zhong was most worried about was that Wu Sangui also sent troops north to attack Jianchang at this time.
Jianchang's current army is afraid that there are not 10,000.
If you can barely bear only Li Guoying's army, plus one Wu Sangui, you really can't stand it.
Fortunately, Wu Sangui has already turned his face with the Qing court now, so there shouldn't be any connection with Li Guoying, right?
Ma Zhong shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
Even if Wu Sangui really wanted to go north to attack Sichuan, it was not something he could manage.
He still has to think about how to resist Li Guoying's offensive.
There are only 20,000 people in Boryeong City, and it is a real border city.
Ma Zhong was able to recruit not many people, but he still recruited 5,000 people.
He ordered the 5,000 people to help burn the gold juice and carry some equipment to defend the city.
If the Qing army attacked the city, these people could play some role.
