Chapter 1343: Smoke Rises (1)

Speaking of this, Qian Qiao's flattery suddenly let out, and said depressedly: "No, the prince ordered me to garrison Qinghe...... Even if you send a message to ask for instructions, it will take three or four days to come and go, and General Liao has already led the left battalion to break through Tianchang. Besides, I only have more than 1,000 men at my disposal, and I am afraid that there will not be enough troops. ”

Song An smiled slightly: "I can transfer six hundred people from Huai'an and make up two thousand for you." Since it is a blitzkrieg attack on Sizhou, the soldiers are fine, not many, and besides, the transportation of ammunition to the north is in a hurry at the moment, and the ferry is afraid that it will not be easy to find...... As for the young master, don't worry, I will take care of this for you. ”

Qian Qiaogong hesitated: "What about Qinghe Defense? ”

"Erhan will come to Huai'an in a few days, and I will take over the defense of Qinghe, although Lord Qian can rest assured."

"Done." Qian Qiaogong slapped his hands and said, "Just do as you say!" If it works, you will get half of the credit. ”

……。

Many times, events are not completely isolated.

Even those in power cannot really control every prefecture or county.

Wu Zheng has never thought about everything in detail and has done it himself, but for military power, Wu Zheng absolutely cares.

Because Wu Zheng understands that all dynasties change, it is often the army that is the first to mess up.

But Wu Zheng has a very bad point, that is, he is absolutely conniving at the generals who can be seen, which is obviously contradictory and contradictory to his thinking about military power.

For example, Jiang Quanyi, Wu Zheng was very conniving, even if Jiang Quanyi dared to resist the order to attack the north without authorization, Wu Zheng only kicked him twice, saying that he would be punished after the war.

This is true for Jiang Quanyi, who is a halfway monk, so it goes without saying that Li Ruhai, the deputy commander of Jinhua Wei, and Sun Jiaji, the commander of Chuzhou Weidu, who have been following.

Before the start of the war, Wu Zheng issued an order, that is, except for the troops participating in the battle, each guard should be stationed in its own defense area, and it was not allowed to move without an order.

According to Wu Zheng's original idea, this was just a diversion battle that could control the scale, so even the first army of Hangzhou Prefecture was not mobilized, not to mention that the garrisons of each prefecture were guarded.

But as Wu Zhengqin went to Huai'an and was besieged, this order became out of place.

But an order is an order after all, and until it is revoked, it is a bottom line and an insurmountable line of fire.

Jiang Quanyi dared to resist the order, that was to seize the excuse that the general would not accept the order of the foreign monarch, and prevaricated by not receiving the order of "stop the attack", but Sun Jiaji and Li Ruhai were different, their second guard did not participate in the war, and they could not find an excuse without mobilization.

Therefore, in the past half a month, they have been anxious in their hearts, and they have written to the General's Mansion several times to ask for war, but they have sunk like a stone in the sea.

Is it the dereliction of duty of the princes of the General's Mansion?

No, that's a big deal.

Compared with Chuzhou and Jinhua Erwei, each with its own station, the General's Mansion did not even dare to mobilize the First Army, there was no way, Wu Zheng's order was an iron law, and the military and government were separated, even if Erzhang, Xiong, Mo and others did not dare to go beyond Lei Chi.

It was not until before Huai'an City was besieged that Wu Zheng issued an order to mobilize a powerful part of the First Army to the north for reinforcements, and this iron law was torn open.

How much is a powerful part, 3,000, 5,000 or 10,000, or 2 or 30,000?

Therefore, Wu Zheng's order is equivalent to delegating the right to transfer troops to the General's Mansion, Wu Zheng doesn't understand? Of course not!

Wu Zheng also has no way, because once he is surrounded in Huai'an, it is equivalent to losing the way to command the guards, so it is impossible to delegate power to the princes of the General's Mansion.

As a result, there was the second conscription order of the Great General's Mansion, and this conscription order made almost all the people under the jurisdiction of the Great General's Mansion soldiers.

To be precise, at this time, the land of the Twelve Prefectures had already entered a state of national war half a month earlier than the Yixing Dynasty.

This creates a great deal of autonomy for each guard, that is, in addition to a cross-border attack, each guard has the right to conduct "moderate" military operations, such as active defense.

As the name suggests, active defense is to attack, but it is actually offensive in the name of defense.

Li Ruhai is more stable, he was entrusted by Chen Shengzhi to lead Jinhuawei to stay behind, although he was willing to fight, he did not dare to act rashly.

But Sun Jiaji was completely different, in the early years he dared to gather more than 1,000 people to oppose the Qing Dynasty, attack the Qing army occupied the government, and dare to contact Wu Yibu, who was still the "Taihu Lake Water Kou" at that time, to launch an attack on the Qing army's heavily defended Suzhou Fucheng, although it ended in failure, but its courage was indeed extraordinary.

It is necessary to reiterate here that the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty, especially those who were through science and technology in the late Ming Dynasty, all knew the soldiers, and although they had no actual combat experience, it was indeed necessary to be familiar with military books.

And Sun Jiaji is Chongzhen ten years of jinshi, Ming did the head of the military department, after King Fu ascended the throne in Yingtianfu, he did Jiujiang military preparation, after the death of the Southern Ming Dynasty, he led the righteous army to fight a lot of battles, and the experience was not satisfactory, to be precise, he can be regarded as a capable military official.

Therefore, from the time he learned that Wu Zheng was trapped in Huai'an, Sun Jiaji sent people to contact Li Ruhai several times.

But Li Ruhai was cautious and did not respond until Wu Zheng's order to mobilize the first army to the north was conveyed, Sun Jiaji sent someone to invite Li Ruhai to a small temple on the side of Yunfeng Mountain to meet, this is because the law is strict, and the generals who are stationed in each guard are not allowed to leave the station without an order, of course, the meeting between the two has actually violated the ban, but, with the geographical knowledge at that time, who can determine whether the meeting place between the two is in the south of Yunfeng Mountain, or north? Even if it can be determined, who can say that the two of them have been staying together and not moving.

Rules are dead, people are alive, and there is no reason why a living person can be suffocated by urine, which is the origin of the so-called saying that there is a policy and a countermeasure.

This time, Sun Jiaji said that Li Ruhai moved.

Sun Jiaji's plan was very simple, but the impact on the situation was huge, he wanted to ask Li Ruhai to help, with Jinhuawei to cooperate with the state guard, the west and south roads to attack Taizhou and Wenzhou, completely wipe out the remnants of the Qing army in southern Zhejiang, and bring the entire Zhejiang into the rule of the General's Mansion.

The remnants of the Qing army in southern Zhejiang, it sounds like a group of stragglers, but in fact it is the opposite, this Qing army is the elite of the enemy army, originally under the command of Duoduo and Bolo, but Duoduo was a thought, and was broken by Qian Sudian in Ningbo Mansion, and soon after being captured, Wu Zheng ordered to show the public in Shaoxing Mansion for three days. In this battle, the adjutant general Bolo was also captured.

The Qing army, which lost its main general and deputy general, had no leader and could only entrench in Taizhou and Wenzhou, and then the Yixing Dynasty and the Qing court negotiated an armistice, and the Qing court had no intention of transferring back this army, after all, it still occupied the land of the two provinces, and it was not a lone army, because the passage with the Qing army in Fujian was still there.

As a result, this army has been left in Taizhou and Wenzhou.
