Chapter 10: A Bolt from the Clear

No matter from which aspect, King Tang is a more suitable candidate than Empress Zhang and Princess Kunxing, how can he say that he is also the blood of Emperor Taizu, unlike Empress Zhang is just the queen of the previous dynasty and Princess Kunxing is just a princess, but since Empress Zhang wants to drive the imperial expedition, then she is the most suitable candidate for the prison country, and the civil and military officials present will not raise any objections.

They are the founding heroes of the country in Zhejiang, but if they are incorporated by the Tang Dynasty, they will just be idle people, Yu Huang is particularly active in this matter: "Yue Guogong, if I don't follow you to recover the whole Shaoxing Mansion, how dare I Yu Huang leave the homeland of Shaoxing, I will cross the river with Yue Guogong today!"

Xiaoshan County in another time and space has always been the territory of Hangzhou, but Xiaoshan County in the Ming and Qing dynasties has belonged to Shaoxing Mansion for a long time, and now the Ming army has only recovered the part south of the Qiantang River in Xiaoshan County, and Xiaoshan County north of the Qianjiang River is still in the hands of the Qing army, so Yu Huang has such a saying.

But more importantly, Yu Huang has decided to bet his political future on this Yue Guogong, he feels that the queen of the prison country and the princess of the prison country are just a pretense, and the real supervisor of state affairs in this dynasty is still the Yue Guo Duke and the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, Liu Yongxi.

Now that he understands this truth, Yu Huang feels that he doesn't have to go to Jinhua to meet the queen of the prison country and the princess of the prison country, as long as he closely follows Liu Yongxi, the prince of Yueguo, he will naturally enjoy endless glory and wealth.

Liu Yongxi saw that these civil and military officials around him were full of spirit and knew that the military spirit was available, so he immediately made up his mind: "Since everyone wants to recover Hangzhou and restore the whole of Zhejiang as soon as possible, then the army should cross the river sooner rather than later!"

And for Bolo in Hangzhou, the defeat on the south bank of the Qiantang River made him so angry that he almost vomited blood: "Where is Xie Sanbin? When Xie Sanbin is caught, I will slowly torture him, and I will let him live for a month."

Although he knew that Xie Sanbin could not be blamed for this incident, Bolo had already thought of many extremely vicious means to use on Xie Sanbin, and the loss this time was too heavy.

Although the Qing army suffered a series of setbacks and defeats in the Qiantang River, the total number of casualties was only 16,700, and most of the lost battles of the Qing army more or less had troops break through, unlike the battle of Jiangnan, where the 5,000-strong army was wiped out.

This is a full 5,000 army, in the history of the Qing Dynasty, the 5,000 army was wiped out, this is the first time, Bolo doesn't know how to explain to Duoduo and the regent Dorgon!

This morning, Bolo happened to receive a letter from Duoduo, in which Prince Yu said that the entire Jiangnan was in rebellion because of the shaving order, and the Qing army was facing a passive situation of insufficient troops, so Duoduo hoped that Bolo could send a large army to help quell the rebellion while holding Hangzhou, and he even hoped that Bolo could personally lead this army to quell the rebellion.

It's just that although Prince Yu has high hopes for Bolo, after Tian Xiong and Haning's 5,000 troops are gone, Bolo knows that not only will he not be able to send a single soldier to support Duoduo, but I am afraid that Duoduo will have to send troops to support him.

When he thought of this Bolo, he was extremely depressed, until now he didn't understand where he lost, obviously he was going all the way and might win the whole province of Zhejiang at any time, but a shaving order caused chaos in the whole province.

Under normal circumstances, he has an army of 40,000 in his hands, and no matter how much turmoil in the province is, he can win steadily, but he inexplicably encountered a series of setbacks, and Bolo finally thought about it and felt that it could only be Xie Sanbin's fault.

If it weren't for Xie Sanbin's good idea to send 5,000 elites from the precious mobile forces to cross the Qiantang Jiangnan expedition, not only would the 5,000 armored soldiers be able to retreat with their whole body, but Bolo would also be able to extinguish the rebellion in Jiangbei as soon as possible.

But now it is the rebellions in the north of the Qiantang River one after another, the Qing army has achieved many successes but also suffered many setbacks, and the 5,000 troops of the southern expedition are all wiped out.

Of course, whether it was to the imperial court or to the Prince of Yu Duoduo, Bolo would only say in eloquent words that the southern expeditionary army had been seriously frustrated and forced to cross north, and would never admit that this southern expeditionary army had been completely wiped out.

Even if you look at it from Jiangbei, you can see that Jiangnan is full of corpses and mountains of blood, and the Qiantang River is also discolored, but Bo Luo will only say that although Jialazhangjing Haning was killed in battle, at least the chief soldier Tian Xiong led hundreds of elites to fight out of the siege and successfully crossed north.

And everyone has a different understanding of "hundreds", Bolo will understand "hundreds" as "nearly thousand", while the regent and Prince Yu will understand the real "hundreds", and the monarchs and ministers of the Ming Kingdom will understand "more than a hundred people", but in fact, the remnants of the defeated soldiers who followed Tian Xiong to the north are not even a hundred, and what makes Bolo even more angry is that the hundreds of Eight Banners under Haning's command can't even find a survivor now, and Bolo doesn't know how to explain to the above, so he can only fool the past first.

But as long as Tian Xiong is alive, there is a way, Bo Luo also knew that Tian Xiong had no way to retreat, so he transferred Huang Degong's old troops to Tian Xiong to replenish his troops, for which he also deliberately comforted Tian Xiong: "Tian Zongbing, don't worry, although it is a big setback, but the death of the Jinhua thief has come, at most it is just a toss for another month or two!"

Although Tian Xiong was covered in injuries, at this moment he showed the fierceness of an outlaw: "Wait for Baylor to rest assured, our army's defeat this time is just an accident, there are 40,000 royal divisions in Jiangbei, and it is a dead end for Jinhua thieves to dare to attack!"

Bo Luo felt that Tian Xiong was too right: "That's right, there are 40,000 troops in Jiangbei, no matter how many thieves come, they can be defeated, I don't believe that Jinhua thieves dare to cross the river and go north!"

After hearing this, Tian Xiong became more and more arrogant: "If the Jinhua thieves dare to cross the river and march north, Tian is willing to be the vanguard of the army and kill these Jinhua thieves without leaving a piece of armor!"

Bolo is also full of confidence: "In terms of water warfare, my Qing soldiers are slightly inferior, but the ability to fight on land, my Qing country is invincible in the world, I will see if these Jinhua thieves dare to cross the river!"

As soon as Tian Xiong wanted to say something, he heard a bloodied Eight Banner soldier running all the way in: "Baylor, Baylor, something is wrong!" General Zu has been defeated from Huzhou!"

"Huzhou?"

For Bolo, it was another bolt from the blue: "How is that possible? How can I not take down a mere Huzhou!"

Although the Eight Banners soldiers who came to report the news were sweating like rain, they answered Bolo's question as soon as possible: "Baylor, Huzhou is not only guarded by the Ming army, but also Jinhua thieves!"

As soon as he said the word "Jinhua thief", Bo Luo knew what was going on, and Tian Xiong next to him reminded him: "Baylor, be careful that there is also an accident in the direction of Jiaxing!"

Bolo couldn't help but wipe a handful of sweat, he knew that the situation was bad, but he didn't expect it to be so bad.
