In order to successfully implement Guangdong's Juntian Order, Tianlang also delayed the matter of Huguang, but he didn't expect Tan Tai to lead 200,000 main forces south, which really made Tianlang a little worried.

However, since the unexpected situation has appeared, it can only be seen and dismantled.

The so-called extreme march is invisible. The soldier is like water, impermanence, impermanence. The water avoids the height and tends to go down, and the soldiers avoid the real and attack the void.

Dolgon was able to send 200,000 troops, but Tianlang only came with tens of thousands of horses, and I am afraid that he can only avoid the real attack.

Tianlang had this plan, but first of all, he had to race against time, and on the night when the army entered Shaozhou, he got the news that Tan Tai's offensive was progressing smoothly.

The Qing army divided its troops into two routes, and Tan Tai from Beijing marched to Jiujiang and surrounded and attacked Jiujiang City.

Then he divided his small troops to the south to capture the two county towns of De'an County and Jianchang County, and the next stop was Nanchang Mansion, which shows that Jiujiang has not yet been captured, and he is ready to take Nanchang.

This is the way where the Qing army has the greatest appetite.

He Luohui, the deputy general of the Southern Expedition, and Liu Liangzuo, the Han army with the Yellow Banner, led the troops of Jiangnan to the west in the direction of Zhejiang, and captured Guangxin Mansion in three days, and destroyed the city and leveled five or six county towns along the way.

This Qing army was the most ferocious.

Most of the Qing army in Jiangnan was Liu Liangzuo's Han army with yellow flags, and with the tacit consent of He Luohui, he went on a killing spree.

If you ask which was the most singable battle in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, it may not be Yangzhou, but the defense of Jiangyin.

And the main force of the Qing army in the defense of Jiangyin was Liu Liangzuo, and he was also the executioner who slaughtered Jiangyin City.

Liu Liangzuo should have been comfortable with killing, and he almost opened an indiscriminate mode for the military and civilians in Guangxin Mansion and several counties east of Guangxin Mansion, killing people when he saw them.

Isn't the whole province of Jiangxi all reversed, so what are the military and civilian people?

Tianlang passed through Nanxiong Mansion to Nan'an Mansion in Jiangxi, and received all the bad news along the way that was enough to drive him crazy.

Hong Youde, who came down the Yangtze River from Huguang, left the Yangtze River waterway at this time, went deep into Poyang Lake, and approached Raozhou Mansion by waterway.

Liu Liangzuo and He Luohui have also leveled Anren and then went north to Raozhou, where the corpses are everywhere, and the defenders of Raozhou are facing the Qing army from both sides, and the situation is extremely critical.

Before the Qing army set out, Bagushan and Hong Youde held a meeting in Anqing, and the main purpose of the meeting was, of course, to study how to fight this battle.

The military council mechanism established by Nurhachi is still good, and important matters are discussed together, unlike the Ming Dynasty during the reign of Tianqi Chongzhen, when the emperor with great ambition and talent sent a few big-chested and brainless supervisors, as well as the speech officials who were completely sprayed in the court, these people together would always mix up many complete military plans into a mess.

For example, the most critical battle between the Ming Dynasty and the Houjin, the Battle of Songjin.

Originally, fierce generals like Hong Chengchou and Zu Dashou wanted to advance step by step and slowly.

And their recommendations have already achieved some success after they have been implemented.

Unexpectedly, Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was worried that too much food and salary would be consumed in this way, so he worked with Zhang Ruoqi, the Liaodong Supervisor, and actually put Hong Chengchou in the air.

With Hong Chengchou's temperament of cherishing feathers, he is like a drum in the court, but anyone who has the strength to knock left and right on him can do it.

Of course, he would not be as upright as Lu Xiangsheng and dare to fight against Yang Sichang, so Hong Chengchou was resigned to the blind command of those two fools who didn't know soldiers.

Then the Ming army marched all the way, and finally the eight general soldiers of 140,000 cavalry fought easily, but they were led by Azig hundreds of people to take advantage of the low tide to ride horses into the sea, robbing the grain and grass of Bijia Mountain.

Immediately, these two were the first to say that they couldn't fight and had to flee quickly, so all the departments hid their minds and rushed to escape in advance instead of the specified time.

Pursued by the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry, most of the 140,000 horses of the Eighth General Soldier were lost, and only Wu Sangui and Wang Pu, two general soldiers who ran fast on four legs, fled back to Shanhaiguan with a full shadow.

Ironically, the campaign was not shortened as Chen Xinjia expected, but was dragged on for another two years.

Moreover, it was Hong Chengchou who cowered in Songshan City and was kicked in a circle by Dolgon and Duoduo and a few hairy boys.

Wang Puren fled back, but unfortunately his head was not saved, Chongzhen was in a hurry and cut him off, and Hong Chengchou was surrounded in Songshan for two years.

Of course, Wang Pu deserved to die, but the other damned Wu Sangui did not dare to attack him because Chongzhen was afraid of killing his nephew, his uncle Zu Dashou did not listen to the announcement again, and he was afraid of the Guan Ning Army in Wu Sangui's hands and did not dare to attack him.

Not only that, Chongzhen, who did the opposite, also promoted Wu Sangui to an official, isn't this a distinction between right and wrong, what is the reward and punishment?

Although the Eight Banners will be noisy when they hold a meeting, and occasionally they will raise their fists and fight when they encounter a few grumpy people, but they fight to sit on the ground together and share the spoils together, so no matter how they quarrel, the purpose is basically the same.

The campaign plan drawn up will basically not have too many loopholes, and will not involve too many personal interests and petty calculations.

In this meeting about Jiangxi, after several Gushan argued for a while, Hong Youde, who was supposed to be outside Bagu Mountain and was serious about making soy sauce, said lightly: "If you ask how to fight, of course you will fight to the death." ”

Including Tan Tai He Luohui and a few other Manmeng Gushan actually don't need to bird him, don't look at him as a prince, but after all, he is a prince of the Han army, and these Gushan are the henchmen and favorite generals under the command of their respective banner owners.

And look at who are the owners of the Eight Flags behind them?

Let's just say that after the flag was changed, Huang Taiji and Dolgon both changed the flag, ostensibly to switch the names of each flag, but in fact it was the annexation and integration of the various flag forces.

At present, the owner of the Blue Banner is the eldest son of Huang Taiji, Prince Heshuosu, who has just chased and killed Zhang Xianzhong and his Great Western Army in Sichuan.

Moreover, because of the relationship between his father Huang Taiji, Haoge has always had a very great influence on the two yellow flags before changing the flag.

The two White Banners were owned by Dolgon's half-brothers, Duoduo, Prince of Heshuoyu, and Azig, Prince of Heshuoying.

The owner of the two red flags is Nurhachi's second beyler: Prince Daishan of Heshuoli.

The owner of the blue flag is Prince Heshuo Zheng Jierharang.

The Gushan under the command of these banner lords is of course more influential than the prince of the Han army, but Hong Youde took the lead, and his words aroused everyone's interest.

Kong Youde also knew that he was soft-spoken, and there was no comparison with the real arrogant soldiers among these Eight Banners, but he was a dignified prince of the Han Army, and he didn't need to bow his head when he saw anyone, so he said coldly what it was to fight to the death.
