Chapter 33: Don't Lose

And only if Azig does not enter Zhejiang, Liu Yongxi can have a three-percent chance of winning, but the more earth-shattering the waves, Liu Yongxi wants to fight!

After all, he still has the last killer weapon in his hand, he told Mrs. Xing: "I will go with me to see Niangniang, whether we can turn defeat into victory under Huzhou City, it depends on how we talk with Niangniang!" ”

Mrs. Xing knew that Empress Zhang was actually the same Liu family as herself, and she even shared the same bed some time ago, but now that she heard Liu Yongxi say so solemnly, she knew that what Liu Yongxi and Empress Zhang were talking about must be real national affairs: "Okay, no matter what the husband wants to do, I will fully support it, and I believe that Zhang Niangniang will also fully support the husband!" ”

Although there are turbulent waves ahead, Mrs. Xing feels that she is very happy to be able to go on with Liu Yongxi.

For Xing Shengping, it was the first time for him to take on such an important responsibility, and just integrating the dozen or so rebel armies under Hangzhou City made him anxious.

Among them, there are Gao Jie's old troops under his command, as well as Liu Yongxi's old troops who were born in Jingkou Town and Linhuai Town, as well as Wang Zhiren, Yang Longyou, Zhang Mingzhen, and other rebels who transformed from the regular army of the Hongguang Dynasty, and a new rebel army like Xiong Rulin.

Not to mention that there are historical grievances between the Zhulu Righteous Army, and the recent participation of thousands of regular troops of Yang Longyou and Ma Shiying in the war has made Xing Shengping relieved and at the same time has to deal with endless disputes, and many people have asked Xing Shengping to "take over" the thousands of soldiers and horses of Yang Longyou and Ma Shiying.

Xing Shengping knew what the so-called "receiving" meant, although he had never experienced a big scene, but he rejected the proposal that might cause chaos at the first time: "You can talk about other things, but the most important thing now is to unite to deal with Jianyu, as long as you are willing to join forces with me to fight against Jianyu, it is your own people!" ”

Fortunately, Xing Shengping was still sober in this matter, and the 30,000 righteous troops outside Hangzhou would not disintegrate, but maintaining the situation of besieging Hangzhou was already the upper limit of Xing Shengping's ability, and now Xing Shengping's biggest concern was that there would be big problems if the time dragged on for a long time, so he specially asked Zhang Guowei, the former secretary of the military department and the current cabinet minister, who came to supervise the war: "Zhang Xiangguo, how do you think Hangzhou should break the city?" ”

Zhang Guowei is another military secretary in the Chongzhen Dynasty, although it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, but his ability is indeed a little insufficient, and there is also a suspicion of arsoning with the enemy to go out of the customs, but after all, he has done a military department Shangshu and seen a big scene: "General Xing, did Yue Guogong write a letter in Huzhou?" ”

In fact, Mrs. Xing and Liu Yongxi were ready to write a letter to Xing Shengping, but at the last moment, Liu Yongxi still gave up the idea of playing chess, and Xing Shengping naturally said truthfully: "My sister and brother-in-law sent me to pass the good news to me, but they didn't officially write a letter!" ”

Zhang Guowei said very confidently: "That's right, that shows that Empress Zhang and Yue Guogong have complete trust in General Xing Da and fully delegate power, and entrust the battle situation in Hangzhou to General Xing Da, General Xing, don't let down Empress Zhang and Yue Guogong's love!" ”

Although Xing Shengping had more courage, he still expressed his thoughts in his heart: "Zhang Xiangguo, it should be no problem for me to command thousands of people to use troops, but now there are 30,000 troops outside Hangzhou, including characters like Ma Shiying, I don't think the dispatch can be moved!" ”

Zhang Guowei continued to cheer up Xing Shengping: "The Empress of the Prison State and the Duke of Yue Guo entrust the entire Hangzhou to General Xing, whoever dares to have objections will be dealt with by military law, General Xing, although you don't kill Ma Shiying is compassionate, this does not mean that you do not have the power to behead the commander, the Empress of the Prison State gave you my edict, but it is okay, as long as the two of us reach an agreement, no matter what kind of civil and military officials can be cut first!" ”

Liu Yongxi and Empress Zhang were far away in Huzhou, and they were naturally powerless to control the battle situation in Hangzhou, so they specifically noted this point in the edict to Zhang Guowei and Xing Shengping, and Xing Shengping was emboldened by Zhang Guowei when he said this: "Is Zhang Xiangguo ready to behead when he is in charge?" ”

"No!" Zhang Guowei said confidently: "It's to tell the generals that you and I have the right to behead the commander, let them sober up first, and then let them have a good fight with Jianyu, clear Jianyu's outlying stronghold in Hangzhou, can't deal with Boluo, there is no problem in dealing with one hundred and eighty new annexed troops, if they dare not do their best, don't blame us for cutting first and then playing!" ”

Although Xing Shengping is quite confident in the rest of Gao Jie's subordinates under his own leadership, he doesn't have much confidence in Wang Zhiren and Zhang Mingzhen's subordinates, as for Yang Longyou and Xiong Rulin's subordinates, he really can't say anything, and when he heard Zhang Guowei say this, he frowned: "Is this feasible?" ”

Zhang Guowei said confidently: "It is feasible, absolutely feasible, now we must disrupt the battle and drag Jianyu into the water!" ”

This is really a word that woke up the person in the dream, Xing Shengping nodded again and again: "That's right, the only strategy to fight now is to disrupt the battle and drag Jianyu into the water completely!" ”

Although the Ming army attacking the city had an advantage in terms of strength, but Bolo had more than 30 red-coated cannons, and under normal circumstances, the Ming army could not break through the city of Hangzhou, and as Xing Shengping worried, the Ming army outside the city was chaotic and chaotic, and it was by no means the opponent of the Qing army in the city to carry out field battles in a dignified manner.

In this case, it is the most feasible strategy to completely disrupt the rhythm of the Qing army by disrupting the battle around a number of strongholds outside the city, Zhang Guowei said with confidence: "Now the country's luck is in the three battlefields of Hangzhou, Jiaxing and Huzhou, as long as our army can win a big victory in one battlefield, it will completely change the luck of the world, so our key is not to lose, drag on!" ”

Zhang Guowei was very soberly aware that the 30,000 people under Xing Shengping could not annihilate the 20,000 Qing troops under the command of Bolo, so as long as it dragged on, there was hope for everything!

And for the regent Dorgon, for the first time, he found out that the shaving order had caused such a big trouble, and even the 40,000 Qing troops under the command of Bolo suffered a setback, and he sat on the dragon chair and shouted:

"It seems that the shaving order is a good thing, forcing out these remnants of the party, if it weren't for the shaving order, I really didn't know that there were so many people who were dissatisfied with my Great Qing Renzheng!"

It's just that the envoy sent by Duoduo below explained the actual situation in Jiangnan truthfully: "The problem now is that Bolobel was careless for a while, resulting in the loss of hundreds of soldiers of the Eight Banners, and the damage of the Han soldiers is even greater, and now tens of thousands of Jinhua thieves are now storming Hangzhou, and Bolobel has sent people to Nanjing to ask for help!" ”

Dorgon said generously: "Hurry up and let Duoduo send troops to support Bolo, if Bolobel has any more damage, it will really be a big accident!" ”
