Chapter 397: Li Dingguo fled from Changsha
"Oh? Is this true? "Hao Yongzhong counted how much Li Jin suffered to survive this battle, but Li Jin's words really made him excited!
Li Jin threw away a leg of mutton bone and said, "Can this still be fake?" His cloth armor, before the war, had 30,000, and in the end it was all destroyed by me! Zilharang was replaced by a governor surnamed Ma, and I only left the city after a total of ten days of street fighting! ”
"The surname Ma? Isn't the new Governor of Huguang surnamed Tong? ”
"You're talking about the Governor of Huguang, a relative of the emperor." Hao Yongzhong corrected Yuan Zongdi: "The surname Ma in the mouth of the general is Ma Guozhu, I fought with Uncle Ma in Jiangxi, he is the governor of Jiangnan of the Tartars, the general, you were defeated by him in the end?" ”
Uncle Ma, who is also surnamed Ma in Hao Yongzhong's mouth, is Ma Jinzhong, who is on par with Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai in the 13th Battalion of the Righteous Army.
Li Jin was very unhappy with Hao Yongzhong's question, he once again dropped the food in his hand and said hatefully: "Hmph! I was not defeated by him, but by more than a thousand cannons of all kinds. If Zilharang didn't have those cannons, he wouldn't have crossed my Yuezhou City!"
My soldiers were only dressed in single clothes, and the Tartars were all dressed in cotton armor, and even then, even if they had so many cannons, they still killed nearly 30,000 of them, and this battle, we were worth it! ”
Hao Yongzhong also gritted his teeth and scolded: "This group of dogs, even if God always takes care of them, hasn't it cost so many people!" One day, we will shoot at them with bright armor and hit the Tartars' hometown!
When they entered the customs that year, they happened to encounter the plague in our Dashun army, and this time it was snowing heavily! I don't believe it, God can have any tricks! Let's do it all! ”
Hao Yongzhong complained that there was nothing wrong with that, when the Qing army entered the customs, it did encounter a large-scale outbreak of plague in Beizhili, which also greatly reduced the combat effectiveness of the Dashun army, plus the loss of 70,000 elites in the previous attack on Daizhou.
All these battlefield factors and the fallacy of the policy of governance, so that the final fall of the Dashun army, the war that made these generals of the Dashun army sad and angry, the reason for its failure was not only man-made disasters, but also a natural disaster.
Of the 30,000 cloth armor that Wu Sangui brought from the northwest, only 3,000 remained. Suffered 27,000 casualties, took an empty city, and received only a few broken bricks.
This result finally made the signature smile on Zilharang's face disappear, he looked into the distance, thinking that there were so many cities in the four provinces of Jiangxi, Huguang, Guangdong, and Guangxi, but only the first battle with the Ming army caused one-tenth of his troops to suffer casualties, according to this plot, his southern expeditionary army would end up with the same ending as Tan Tai.
For the offensive and defensive sides of the offensive battle, the word 'boil' is indeed the true meaning, and it is a headache for Ezirharang, and the Ming army at this time also encountered a trouble.
Shortly after the Battle of Yuezhou began, after He Tengjiao arrived in Changsha, he and Li Dingguo had a disagreement over command.
Tianlang doesn't know Li Dingguo very well, he only knows that he dares to fight and fight, and he is a rare fierce general, but there is one thing, that is, the greater the ability, the greater the temper, Li Dingguo is such a person, his biggest characteristic is not good at fighting, but arrogant.
After He Tengjiao came to Changsha, he was naturally familiar with all military and political affairs, after all, he was, and now he has always been the governor of Huguang, and he has been in charge of the military and political power of Huguang for many years, and he is very familiar with the geography and people's livelihood of Huguang, and it is because of the waves that Tianlang will send him to Changsha.
And logically speaking, with him and Li Dingguo, Changsha can be said to be very stable, He Tengjiao and Li Dingguo are one and the same, sitting on more than 200,000 male soldiers to guard a city, Jierharang is in a hurry to go to Zhaoqing to catch Tianlang, he will definitely attack desperately, this side will make the Qing army add many casualties, which is also the effect that Tianlang needs, it can also be said that his plan to defend the city of Changsha has a high probability of winning.
According to Tianlang's speculation, he should be stationed under Changsha City, besiege He Tengjiao and Li Dingguo, and then divide his troops in Jiangxi, and then go all the way to the south and pounce on Guangdong, to strangle Li Chengdong and capture the Ming Emperor alive.
It's just that the perfect plan is just a plan, the only thing Tianlang didn't calculate was Li Dingguo's temper, Li Dingguo has always refused to live under others, after Zhang Xianzhong died in battle, he was dissatisfied with Sun Kewang in the Great Western Army, so he left to join the Ming army in Guangxi.
After Li Dingguo entered Changsha this time, He Tengjiao soon arrived, and re-hung up his Huguang Governor's Mansion, supervising the plaque of the two lakes and horses, the two lakes and horses are Hunan Hubei, in the late Ming Dynasty under the Huguang governor and Hubei governor, Du Yinxi was once the governor of Hunan.
Seeing that He Tengjiao had so much power, Li Dingguo suddenly felt that he was making a wedding dress for others, so within a few days, he had a falling out with He Tengjiao.
He Tengjiao considered the overall situation and made a forbearance, in fact, even Tianlang believed in his ability to get along with the generals of the rebel army, otherwise he would not have been able to recruit Li Jin, Gao Bizheng, Hao Yongzhong and Liu Tichun to fight the fierce generals of the Dashun army.
But what Li Dingguo wants is not He Tengjiao's respect, what he wants is the power of his word, from his point of view, he will never trust the command of a powerful minister of the Ming Dynasty to his army, which will only turn his team into cannon fodder.
His distrust caused a quarrel between the two, which ended with He Tengjiao making a compromise, but the matter did not end, because what Li Dingguo really needed, He Tengjiao couldn't give it.
He Tengjiao was ordered by the emperor to supervise Huguang, how could he give it to each other privately, and in order to appease the generals, he gave away the handsome seal? Don't say I'm sorry for the trust of the Ming and the Ming Emperor!
Li Dingguo is not reasonable, so he can only find He Tengjiao to lose his temper, and he can't directly ask the emperor for the handsome seal, He Tengjiao persuaded him for three days, but in the end he saw a very unexpected result, Li Dingguo actually picked a son and quit!
The 100,000-strong army withdrew from Changsha overnight and went to the Baoqing area in the northwest of Hengzhou, where Li Jin had established a base after the Battle of Quanzhou against the control of the heavenly waves, and was now being used by Li Dingguo.
He Tengjiao saw that the situation was not good, and immediately wrote a letter to ask the emperor how to deal with this matter.
But time waits for no one, the letter was sent, and the battle of Yuezhou City was already in full swing, although Li Jin gritted his teeth and fought hard with his mortal enemy Wu Sangui, after all, the disparity between the strength of the enemy and us was too great, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that the city of Yuezhou was broken, and it was just around the corner.
