Although Mrs. Xing's words were a little unkind, she did say the biggest problem with Empress Zhang's personal expedition.

At present, the biggest problem of this small court is that it only controls most of Zhejiang, and the resources that can be mobilized are relatively limited, Liu Yongxi's old department is less than 20,000 people, even if Wang Zhiren, Zhang Mingzhen, Zhang Huangyan and other armies are counted, the Ming army that crossed the north bank of the Qianjiang River adds up to only more than 30,000 people, if it is not for the full assistance of the Zhulu Righteous Army, the righteous division and the Shengdou small people, it is impossible to defeat Boluo, but Zhejiang's human, material and financial resources are close to the limit.

Including Liu Yongxi's personal leadership of the army, the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses gathered near Hangzhou were close to the end of the crossbow, although relying on Empress Zhang's crossing of the river to boost morale and obtain a brilliant victory, but just besieging the Boluo troops in Hangzhou City had to occupy most of the troops, and there were not many troops to support Jiaxing and Huzhou.

However, in the direction of Jiaxing and Huzhou, there are at least tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Qing troops led by Duoduo himself, and it is useless to reinforce a few hundred or a few thousand, as Mrs. Xing said, there must be "tens of thousands", but now the only troops that can be mobilized are only 3,000 new talents led by Empress Zhang herself, and the rest of the troops are difficult to transfer.

There were at least 20,000 horses under Bolo's command, including thousands of elites of the Eight Banners and dozens of red-clothed cannons.

Although everyone has just won a big victory, they also have to admit that the Eight Banners and the Mongolian soldiers of the Outer Domains are indeed the best elites in the world, and their own soldiers and horses are by no means the opponents of the Eight Banners and the Mongolian soldiers of the Outer Domains.

The reason why he was able to win a big victory was entirely because Bolo thought too highly of himself, and actually threw these elite cavalry and infantry into the water network area, and as a result, the ten leaders played at most six or seven percent, but when it was replaced by the Qing army with red-coated cannons to defend the city, everyone felt that the besieging forces must be as many as possible.

It's just that at this time, Zhang Huangyan opened his mouth and said: "Let me go to Jiaxing Mansion to support General Chen Yuan, with my five battalions of soldiers rushing to help, Jiaxing Mansion should not have a big problem, Niangniang and Yue Guogong can rest assured that they will pass through Huzhou." ”

Although Jiaxing Mansion and Huzhou Mansion bore the brunt of the Qing army's offensive in this round, since the main force of the Qing army was from Nanjing, the real decisive battlefield must be in Huzhou Mansion, so Zhang Huangyan volunteered.

Although the five battalions led by Zhang Huangyan are all new troops that have only been in the army for a month, the five battalions of Zhang Huangyan's department have hundreds of veterans from the old Jingkou Town as the backbone, and they have repeatedly performed miraculous feats in the recent series of battles, so it is naturally a good choice for Zhang Huangyan to rush to the aid of Jiaxing Mansion, at least the situation in Jiaxing Mansion will not collapse in a short period of time.

And Empress Zhang immediately opened Chrysostom: "Yue Guogong often mentions in front of me that Zhang Cangshui is a pillar of the country, I didn't believe it at first, but now I know that Yue Guogong has the most accurate vision of people, Mrs. Xing, do you stay in Hangzhou or go to Huzhou with us?" ”

Mrs. Xing smiled: "Where Yue Guogong goes, I will naturally go too, but the battle of Huzhou is related to the rise and fall of the country, and Yue Guogong still has to bring more soldiers and horses with him!"

Hearing this, Liu Yongxi felt more and more anxious, and it was already close to the limit to transfer Empress Zhang's 3,000 elites and Zhang Huangyan's five battalions from the front line in Hangzhou.

Although he could still scavenge thousands of soldiers and horses from the front line, he did not dare to mobilize too many troops.

After all, there are still 20,000 soldiers under Bolo's command, and if the troops besieging Hangzhou are less, maybe the battle of Hangzhou will only be a failure, but even if he can collect 35,000 soldiers and horses, plus Empress Zhang's 3,000 reinforcements to Huzhou Mansion, it will still be useless.

After all, the number of troops invested by the Qing army on the Huzhou battlefield is calculated in 10,000, and the elite of the Qing army invested by Duoduo is definitely not less than 10,000, but he thinks that since Mrs. Xing deliberately raised this question, she naturally has something to rely on: "It's all old husbands and wives, what are you doing with this kind of scheming, Shengping, persuade your sister!"

Although Liu Yongxi and Mrs. Xing have only been officially together for half a year, because Liu Yongxi and Mrs. Xing are the cornerstones of the Jinhua Small Imperial Court, everyone does not think that there is anything wrong with Liu Yongxi saying "old husband and wife", and Xing Shengping is still beside him and enthusiastically persuaded: "Brother-in-law is very right, sister, you don't need to come out now, I'm afraid you won't be able to use it in the future!"

Wang Zhiren also said: "Yes, this matter is related to the survival of the country!"

Zhang Huangyan was even more full of expectations for Mrs. Xing's strange army: "Mrs. Xing, when the country is dying, even if there are three or five hundred more soldiers and horses, success or failure can be determined!"

Mrs. Xing immediately said: "This strange army can indeed come in handy, I'm afraid that many people will refuse to accept it!"

Empress Zhang immediately spoke: "As long as it can be used by the imperial court, even the imperial court such as Li Benshen, Guo Hu, and Yang Chengzu can accept it!"

It is really that the Qing court controls too many resources, and Empress Zhang is not considering the question of how many people are unwilling to accept it now, and Liu Yongxi also said: "The policy of the imperial court is not to blame for the past, my good lady, you can tell me which one, right?" ”

Liu Yongxi really couldn't figure out which one of the strange soldiers that Mrs. Xing mastered, but fortunately, Mrs. Xing took the initiative to solve the mystery: "Ma Shiying and Yang Longyou are willing to serve the country, they have thousands of armor soldiers in Yanzhou Mansion, although it is not enough to compete with Jianyu, but it is not a problem to wave the flag and shout!"

Liu Yongxi didn't expect that Ma Shiying, Yang Longyou, these Guizhou township parties would find Mrs. Xing's way, but although these people were in a mess in the Hongguang Dynasty, their loyalty to the Ming Dynasty was undoubted, and Ma Shiying's family was a hereditary military position in Guizhou, and even had several commanders and commanders, so Ma Shiying could mobilize the Guizhou soldiers when he was in office.

Now Ma Shiying and Yang Longyou's force is also based on the Guizhou soldiers as the core, plus many remnants of the Hongguang Dynasty defeated generals, although everyone thinks that Ma Shiying and Yang Longyou's troops are not enough, but at the critical moment of the decisive battle with Jianyu, as Zhang Huangyan said, even if there are three or five hundred more soldiers and horses, it can determine success or failure, not to mention that there are thousands of people in Ma Shiying and Yang Longyou's troops, and the Qing army is not all the Eight Banners and the Mongolian soldiers of the outer domain, and there are still many remnants of the defeated generals.

Therefore, Empress Zhang immediately made up her mind: "Since Ma Yaocao and Yang Longyou are willing to participate in this battle to recover Hangzhou, let them participate in the grand event together, but tell Ma Shiying that although I am not guilty of what he did in the Hongguang Dynasty, I will not allow him to use the means against King Fu in the court!"

As soon as Empress Zhang opened her mouth, Wang Zhiren was the first to agree: "Niangniang Shengming, Ma Shiying and Yang Longyou are here to make meritorious contributions this time, and he is no longer Ma Xiangguo of the Fu Dynasty!"
