Chapter 45: Good news

Duoduo's previous estimate is not much different from the actual situation, after several general mobilizations and overdrafts, Liu Yongxi's Ming army has indeed reached the verge of running out of oil, in order to repel Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming's last attack, Empress Zhang and Mrs. Xing have pulled out their personal guards to turn the tide.

But after hearing the news of the recovery of the princess of Hangzhou, who personally led the army to help, the civil and military officials who were already exhausted are now like winning the champion, and they can't wait to leave Duoduo's tens of thousands of Qing troops in Huzhou Mansion now, and Yu Huang, the champion of the Apocalypse Dynasty, is even more excited and shouted: "Okay!" Good! Good! So much better! It's so good!"

This champion duke was so excited that he didn't know what to say now, and Fu Ding, who was born in the Sincere Bofu family, was the first to change his words and said: "King Yue, you see how to pursue next!"

Although Empress Zhang just released the news that the Duke of Yue was crowned the King of Yue, how could she go through a process, but now that Fuding has changed his name to "King Yue", everyone thinks it is reasonable, after all, it is not an exaggeration to call "King Yue" with the merits of Liu Yongxi, the Duke of Yue, and Queen Zhang over there took over the topic: "King Yue, can you help the palace get an idea?" How the hell should we pursue Jiannu!"

Liu Yongxi was still racking his brains just now to find a way to loot troops and supplies, and the most anxious thing for him was that the gunpowder and lead were about to run out, but now that the tense is running, Liu Yongxi naturally said calmly: "You don't have to be too excited and too nervous, take a good rest, and strive to recuperate and keep Duoduo's tens of thousands of troops!"

Seeing that Liu Yongxi could still calm down now, the civil and military officials present all calmed down, Liu Yongxi continued: "The top priority now is to let everyone know the news of the recovery of Hangzhou, as long as this news spreads, Duoduo will not want to escape back to Nanjing in peace!"

Mrs. Xing immediately took over the topic: "Yes, although Li Benshen and Guo Hu are not available, there are not a few soldiers who are willing to get lost and return, and now we can give them a chance!"

Although Gao Jie's department has collapsed after Gao Jie's death, Mrs. Xing's influence in Gao Jie's old department has become greater and greater, especially after the strong rise of the Yue Ming army, many generals who did not take Mrs. Xing seriously in the past are now more and more respectful of Mrs. Xing, and have sent people to contact Mrs. Xing.

And Liu Yongxi also said confidently: "The construction of the capture is all thanks to the Han army as the wing, the Han army is gone, the Eight Banners Army is not afraid, as long as the Han army can get lost and return, plus the righteous army along the road to intercept, this Qing army can escape half of the best ending!"

Everyone thinks that Liu Yongxi is right, in the past, everyone thought that the Eight Banners soldiers were invincible in the world, but the result of the battle in the past few days was that the very cheap arquebusiers could still shoot down the Eight Banners in actual combat after a few days of training, so that Duoduo had to let the Han army and the green battalion from all walks of life take the lead.

Now the real headache of the Ming army is that the Qing army occupies an absolute advantage in terms of strength, although there are Huzhou and Jiaxing two ways to contain, but the Qing army into the battlefield is far better than the Ming army, if you can pull out a large number of people from the Qing army camp, so many Duo troops do not seem to be afraid.

And Li Xiangjun stood up and volunteered: "I will be responsible for the spread of good news, and I promise that in the shortest possible time, the whole world will know that we have recovered Hangzhou and annihilated the 50,000 Qing troops under Boluo!"

This statement may be a bit exaggerated, but everyone feels that such good news must be spread out as soon as possible, after all, there are still many wall grasses among the gentry in Jiangnan and the gentry in the world, and they dare not stand up when the Qing army is strong, but when the Qing army is defeated, they jump higher than anyone.

Although Li Xiangjun looked down on these wall grasses, he knew that if he wanted to defeat the Qing army, he had to borrow the power of these wall grasses, and Liu Yongxi also affirmed Li Xiangjun's thoughts: "Yes, let the whole world know that our army has annihilated Bolo and Duoduo's headquarters and is about to recover Nanjing!"

Liu Yongxi's statement is a bit exaggerated, after all, Duoduo still has an army of fifty or sixty thousand in his hands, as long as this field army can be preserved, the Ming army has no hope of recovering the southern capital, but hearing Liu Yongxi say this, the audience cheered.

Everyone felt that a brilliant victory was at hand.

How happy the Ming army is, how miserable the Qing army is.

When they first heard the news, even the generals of the new annexed army such as Li Benshen and Guo Hu thought that this must be the strategy of the Jinhua thieves, after all, the 40,000 troops under Bolobel were not vegetarians, and there were nearly 10,000 Eight Banners and Mongolian soldiers from the Outer Domains among the 40,000 troops, and they even thought that these escaped Han Army Eight Banners and Green Battalion soldiers were spies sent by Liu Yongxi.

But everyone soon found out that this was not a rumor, on the contrary, it was impossible for the Eight Banners and Green Battalion soldiers of the Han Army to fake, and everyone even saw Tian Xiong, who betrayed Emperor Hongguang!

Although everyone is a general, but for Tian Xiong, who betrayed Emperor Hongguang and Huang Degong, Li Benshen and Guo Hu all have a psychology of both envy and jealousy, both envy Tian Xiong for his miraculous achievements and feel that Tian Xiong can even betray the old master Huang Degong is too undisciplined, although they are also generals, but in terms of integrity, they are always slightly better than Tian Xiong.

There are not only Tian Xiong and Zu Dabi who escaped, but the Manchurian nobles who were more convinced than Tian Xiong that Zu Dabi was officially incorporated into the Han Army Niu Lu, and Zu Dabi's Eight Banners of the Han Army were relatively more complete, but both Tian Xiong and Zu Dabi said in unison that it was Bo Lo Belle who notified them to break through and inform Prince Duoduo before the city of Hangzhou was broken.

Whether it is the Manchurian Eight Banners or the Han generals, they don't believe this kind of statement, after all, the current situation is a bit weird, the Manchurian Eight Banners, the Mongolian Eight Banners and the Mongolian soldiers of the outer domains seem to have been killed and wounded in the Battle of Hangzhou, even if three or five people escaped, it is completely unclear what is going on, but the Eight Banners and Green Battalions of the Han Army, which are slightly weaker, have also escaped many officers and formed troops.

According to their unanimous statement, the reason why Hangzhou was lost was entirely because Bolobele wanted to adopt a confrontation strategy with the Ming army, and as a result, when the Ming army was strong, the Ming army suddenly invested at least 30,000 fresh troops from the south bank of the Qianjiang River, and the hasty and unprepared Qing army was almost completely wiped out, and at this time, there were traitors and thieves who opened the city gate to lead the Jinhua thieves into the city, and Bolobele could only let Tian Xiong and Zu Dabi lead the troops to break through at the critical moment.

Although everyone thinks that Tian Xiong and Zu Dabi's statement is not true, there must be a lot of water, but the problem now is that according to Tian Xiong and Zu Dabi, after Hangzhou was lost, the Jinhua thieves in Hangzhou were completely liberated, and the reason why Tian Xiong and Zu Dabi were so embarrassed was because there was Xing Shengping's 100,000 army chasing behind them.

For these generals, Xing Shengping is an old friend and acquaintance, especially Li Benshen, Guo Hu, Yang Chengzu, these old Gao Jie departments, they are more familiar with Xing Shengping, I don't think Xing Shengping really has an army of 100,000, but there is no 100,000, 50,000 or 60,000 is always there, 50,000 or 60,000 is not, and 30,000 or 40,000 must be there.

But now on the Huzhou battlefield, the Qing army obviously occupies a certain military advantage but has little to do with the Ming army, and the Ming army in the Huzhou battlefield is full of 50,000 people, Zhang Boyang in Huzhou City is about 20,000 people, Liu Yongxi's department is called 50,000, but the actual strength is more than 30,000, in addition to the Chen Yuan department of Jiaxing Mansion is called 20,000, but the actual strength is about 10,000.

However, these several Ming troops have exhausted all means and Duoduo is still in a hurry, and it is still a confrontation situation, and now another 50,000 or 60,000 Ming troops have been killed from Hangzhou Mansion, even if the reinforcements sent by the British King Azig arrive, they can't cope with it.

Since everyone is a general, except for a few who lack heart or have a common enmity with Mrs. Xing and Liu Yongxi, everyone feels that they can either run away or change their banner quickly, and staying in Huzhou Mansion can only be a dead end, of course, the most important thing before making a decision is to cover up this matter first.

Whether it is the general of the Eight Banners or the general of the Green Battalion, everyone feels that this matter must be covered up, if it is not covered up, I am afraid that the soldiers under Liu Yongxi will not have to bomb the camp first, even if it is the Eight Banners warriors, they are also living people!

However, although the generals tried their best to cover up the news of the loss of Hangzhou, the news of the loss of Hangzhou spread faster than anyone else, and even Zhang Bo and Yang Jun in the Huzhou Mansion already knew the news of Hangzhou's recovery and shouted outside the city.

And Liu Yongxi's horse infantry told a lot of specific details about the loss of Hangzhou, and some details can only be known by those who witnessed it, and they are roughly in line with Tian Xiong and Zu Dabi's statements.

In this way, whether it is the Manchurian Eight Banners, the Outer Mongolian or the Han Army, and the Green Battalion are all living under a huge terror, the army led by Bolobel has more than 40,000 people, but now with Tian Xiong and Zu Dabi escaped with the remnants of the defeated generals are only more than 1,000 people, and all of them are terrified, if the 100,000 Ming troops in Hangzhou are killed, I am afraid that the tens of thousands of troops led by Yu Wang Duoduo will also have the same ending.

If the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners and the Mongol soldiers of the Outer Domains can only follow Duoduo to break through to the north, then the idea of the new annexed army that has only surrendered for a few months is different, since they can surrender to the Qing Dynasty, they can naturally return to the camp of the Ming official army, but everyone also knows that they have such a disgraceful history, and they want to win the trust of Empress Zhang, Liu Yongxi, and Xing Fu.

Therefore, there is an undercurrent surging in the current Qing army camp, and Prince Yu Duoduo also sensed that a huge crisis was imminent, and he told the generals of the Eight Banners under his command: "Everyone should pay more attention, even Han people like Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming can't believe it, everyone must pay more attention!"

Regarding Duoduo's opinion, Li Shutai, the servant of the ministry, had a different opinion: "Since Zu Dabi and Tian Xiong can rush over from Hangzhou, it shows that Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming can be trusted, and the key now is how to sacrifice those unreliable Han people so that we can kill back to Nanjing!"
