Chapter 931: The Devil Descends, and the World Is in Chaos
A few days later, news of the Battle of Nonsan broke, and Goryeo was shaken.
Who would have thought that the main force of more than 20,000 Qing troops with strong soldiers and horses, like wolves and tigers, plus more than 10,000 Goryeo officers and soldiers, instead of exterminating the Pu Xiangu department, was surrounded by the Park Xiangu department.
At this time, Park Eun-hee had the support of Xu Changqing, and was supplemented by thousands of Goryeo officials and troops, and began to expand vigorously with the Nonsan Mountain area as the core.
In less than ten days, almost the entire Chungcheong-do region fell into the control of Park Seon-gu.
The reason why it is so fast is because many places take the initiative to surrender, just to touch her Pu Xiangu's fairy spirit.
For a time, Pu Xiangu's influence and popularity even directly covered the Li family.
But at this time, Li Hao didn't have much to say, and he didn't dare to directly send troops to encircle and suppress him, after all, he didn't do it first.
If the situation continues to escalate, then it will not only be Chungcheong-do that will be lost.
On the other hand, Park Seon-gu was also very sensible and took the initiative to negotiate with Pyeongseong, and the two sides seemed to have reached some secret agreement in private, and the situation in Goryeo quickly calmed down.
……
And at the time of the two-sided talks between Park Eun-hee and Heseong, Xu Changqing and the main force of the model army had successfully returned to Haeseong.
At this time, the war in the Central Plains has been completely torn apart, and Duoduo has also appeared.
Just like Xu Changqing's previous judgment, Duoduo did not choose to fight to the death in Goryeo all the time, and had a big showdown with the model army in Goryeo, but still chose the Central Plains battlefield.
To think about it is to understand Dodor's choice.
Even if he turns the sky upside down in Goryeo, Xu Changqing will not feel the slightest bit distressed, let alone be affected.
However, as long as there is a war in the Central Plains, even if it is not Xu Changqing's pot, it can be thrown on Xu Changqing's body casually.
……
March 16 of the fourth year of Daming Hongguang.
The day after Xu Changqing returned to Haicheng, there was an earth-shattering but expected news from the south.
Fengyang, the central capital, fell.
At this time, although there were not many True Manchurian Eight Banners dispatched by the Qing army, they were only supervising the battle, but Dolgon seemed to have activated the reward method for the minions of the Han Army Banner, which made Wu Sangui, Bai Guangen and other Han Army Banner minions all feel like they have been beaten with chicken blood, and they are full of momentum one by one.
At present, even if these Han military flags do not threaten Jiangnan's strength for the time being, they are almost there.
Even the size of their forces is a little incalculable at this time, and they are already known as '300,000 troops' on the surface. ’
This may be an exaggeration, but if you do the math, it's not impossible, and it's even more!
After all, the captured slaves can also be counted among the soldiers, but it is a matter of whether or not to give them weapons.
What choice can ordinary people have in such a high-pressure situation?
……
With the loss of Fengyang, the troops of the Han Army Banner Coalition Army swept Chuzhou, and it was already in front of Nanjing.
Nanjing was already in chaos, and all kinds of urgent reports for help flew towards Haicheng like snowflakes.
Haicheng, outer study.
Xu Changqing's face was a little gloomy, and he was staring at the huge map and thinking.
Next to him, Li Yan was reporting the current situation to Xu Changqing.
But even if Li Yan has been in the top position for a long time, and has already cultivated the city government where Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his face did not change, he was also a little flustered at this time.
He said in a low voice: "Lord, if it is...... According to the current situation of development, I am afraid that it will not take half a month, except for Jining, Qufu, Yangzhou and other cities that we have carefully planned, we can still defend it, and other ...... I'm afraid that most of the Jiangbei will fall. We must make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise, if the stalemate continues, the situation may be difficult to end......"
Xu Changqing nodded slowly, his face becoming more and more dark.
This situation was largely expected by Xu Changqing.
But in ordinary times, Xu Changqing couldn't say anything about many of them, and he didn't know where to start.
Although the Nanjing Imperial Court has been established for the fourth year, in the past four years, they have basically done nothing serious, and in the control area, except for a few front-line areas, the military affairs are afraid that they are more abandoned than before.
This is still Jiangbei.
On the Jiangnan side, I'm afraid it's even more unbearable to look at.
At this time, Da Ming was like a patient, his whole body was covered with tumors, and he was about to suck the blood of his body dry.
However, even if Xu Changqing is in such a powerful position, it is difficult to use the knife against these tumors, and he can only maintain his control area.
If you want to really remove these tumors and bring this dynasty to life, you can only endure the pain and change your blood!
On the other hand, it is the heritage of the Qing army.
In the past few decades, the Qing army has gathered many elites who originally belonged to the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty, and the leaders of such large armies such as Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, Geng Jingzhong, Wu Sangui, Zu Jia, and Bai Guangen are also unknown.
On weekdays, those big masters of real Manchuria are pressing them, and they are still somewhat restrained, and they are all accumulating strength.
At this time, once the Qing army opens this Pandora's box, the equivalent force, I am afraid that even the Qing army may not be able to hold it steadily.
Like, Dolgon, Dordor are already fighting for their lives!
This is the prelude to the chaos in the world!
Xu Changqing thought for a while, then looked at Li Yan and said, "Strategist, what do you have in mind?" ”
Li Yanchang sighed, and then his eyes suddenly sharpened: "Lord, the best choice is to curb the actions of the Han Army Banner Alliance as soon as possible and return the situation to the right track, but this is probably no longer possible." The decision of Dolgon and the others at this time seems to be in turmoil and anger, but I am afraid that they have been planning for a long time! They just want to use this way to let us fall into a quagmire, so that we can reap the benefits of fishermen like they did in Shanhaiguan back then! To be honest, his subordinates were also a little messy at this time, and they couldn't find the way for a while. However, the intuition of the subordinates feels that at this time, it may be the best choice for us to stand still......"
Xu Changqing looked into Li Yan's eyes.
Li Yan's eyes also flashed with a touch of pain, but he became firm again: "Lord, stand after breaking, don't break and don't stand......"
"Smack, smack."
Xu Changqing rubbed his forehead vigorously, how could he not understand what Li Yan meant?
To a large extent, Li Yan's choice seems to be the most correct and most in line with the interests of Xu Changqing and the model army.
But at this point, it's no longer just a matter of profit.
To be honest, even Xu Changqing didn't expect the Qing army to be so crazy, and actually turned all the Han army flags into devils!
If you really want to calculate it, this is actually killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 yourself, which is no different from Lafayette's 'rather die in a foreign than a house slave'.
But in contrast, the time for Zhen Manchuria to enter the customs is still short, and their interests have not yet spread, and they basically revolve around the areas of Jingshi and Zhili.
They can afford to play with their lives like this, after all, they still have a way back, retreat to the outside of the gate.
But it is!
It is necessary to drag the entire Han nation into a bottomless abyss!
After a while, Xu Changqing took a deep breath: "Military Division, how are my grain reserves and armaments in Shandong now?" ”
Li Yan trembled all around, and vaguely understood what Xu Changqing meant, and hurriedly held up his spirit and said: "Lord, my Haicheng, my Shandong, my model army, over the years, has accumulated for a long time, if you really want to go to war, even if all the control areas are not in production, you can hold out for more than a year and a half!" If we can maintain stability in Shandong, I am afraid that it will not be a big problem to fight for ten years! In addition, over the past few years, our Haicheng Military Academy has trained nearly 5,000 officers, more than 3,000 retired officers, and more than 100,000 and nearly 110,000 in various reserve and auxiliary systems. If we want to mobilize all of them, our Haicheng can mobilize more than 200,000 troops at any time! ”
Saying that, Li Yan is also a little unstoppable, which is the result of their hard work and countless sweats over the years.
"In addition, our arsenal has been stockpiled with 300,000 combat uniforms over the years, if we want to mobilize and expand the army, gather strong manpower everywhere, and our model army can expand the scale of 500,000 people! But then I'm afraid that some production systems will be greatly affected. ”
Li Yan gritted his teeth and looked at Xu Changqing, his body trembling a little uncontrollably.
At this time, everything was between Xu Changqing's thoughts.
As long as Xu Changqing says a word, in the past few years, the people of Shandong who have enjoyed Xu Changqing's countless favors are willing to fight for Xu Changqing!
"Whew."
Xu Changqing also let out a long sigh when he heard these numbers, and closed his eyes in a little pain.
It's still this far!
If you really want to study it carefully, Xu Changqing actually has a lot of mistakes, and his judgment of the overall situation, including the disposal of some parts, is not perfect.
But if you really want to talk about it, Xu Changqing has almost done it to the extreme!
At least, Xu Changqing desperately kept Jiangnan and Shandong, leaving a very weak foundation for the Han nation.
If there was no time and space for Xu Changqing to appear, all of this would have collapsed long ago, what Yangzhou Ten Days, Jiading Three Massacres, would have already drained the blood of the Han nation......
Daming is a mess.
This kind of rotten is not overnight, and it is not even a problem of Wanli Ye, Tianqi Ye, including Chongzhen Ye.
They just made this rotten worse and intensified, leading to a collapse.
Since the change of Tumubao, many hidden dangers within the Ming Dynasty have been accumulating and superimposing, and they have become deeper and deeper, and they have begun to suppress the heavy footsteps of this huge empire even more.
Among them, it is not that there is no elite class of Han people who have thought about change, and the Han nation is not without talents.
It's a pity that whether it is Zhang Juzheng, Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou and others, including Chongzhenye, they all failed......
History will never have ifs......
In the final analysis, the real Manchurian momentum has been achieved, and if you want to suppress their momentum, you must pay a heavy price!
At this time, even though it is chaotic and the world is in chaos, it is better than the hundreds of millions of people in the land of Shenzhou who have completely sunk into this backwardness, ignorance, and misery for three hundred years!
After a while, Xu Changqing finally opened his eyes, but the whole person was without sorrow or joy, almost without a trace of emotion, and said calmly: "Issue a mobilization order!" All adult males over the age of 16 and under the age of 40 in Shandong are being recruited! If anyone dares to shirk and slack off, they will be severely punished! However, after mobilization, the best of the best will be selected, and the initial scale will be set at 150,000 people! ”
As soon as he heard the number of '150,000 people', the biggest stone in Li Yan's heart also fell to the ground.
After all, the scale of the auxiliary reserve of the model army is about 100,000 people, and these 100,000 people are said to be mobilized, but in fact, there is no need to mobilize at all.
Another 50,000 people were recruited, and according to Li Yan's understanding of Xu Changqing, these people would definitely not go directly to the battlefield, at most to maintain stability in Shandong.
Seeing that Li Yan nodded heavily and digested his meaning, Xu Changqing sighed again and said, "In addition, immediately send a message to Nanjing to reopen the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies!" ”
"Huh?"
Li Yan was stunned for a moment, and his pupils widened to the limit.
