Chapter 192 Huainan Jiangbei fell
The sunset shining on the city makes people comfortable and glorious, but looking at the boundless army outside the city, Liu Zeqing is terrified again!
Is Da Ming still saved? Where should he go?
Shi Kefa traveled around collecting supplies and recruiting new soldiers. He didn't stop for a moment when the Qing army went south, fortunately Nanyang was still in his hands, otherwise Xiangyang would have been besieged and turned into a lonely city.
Reinforcements are needed everywhere, but reinforcements can't be sent! Millions of manpower were mobilized on the Huai River, and now Nanming's treasury has bottomed out. Fortunately, I was able to buy rice and grain from Lingnan, otherwise the grain price in the entire Jiangnan would immediately skyrocket.
Sitting on the grain of the northern plains of Annam, the ordinary old grain of the Lingnan military government is enough to feed the pigs.
Huai'an city head.
Kong Moushi has only been in service for a few months, but Liu Zeqing already regards him as his Zhuge military advisor.
"My lord! The morale of the army is already unstable! I'm afraid that someone under my hand is secretly communicating with the Qing army! I'll wait then! ”
Liu Zeqing is even more worried! He also began to wonder when the Commanders would stab him!
"Strategist! Yangzhou can't go back! This Huai'an won't last long! How should our army be good! ”
Kong Junshi was overjoyed in his heart, and half a year's efforts finally paid off!
"Hey! Lord. Yangzhou's Shi Kefa is hard and ruthless! Even if we can escape, we will be held accountable for losing our army! And dare to ask how many days the lord can hold on? Or how long can the commanders and soldiers at the bottom wait! ”
Liu Dashuai's face was distressed! Originally, the court didn't want to see him, and if he was defeated, he was afraid that he would be moved! But do you want to? How willing he was!
Seeing that Liu Zeqing was still hesitating, Kong Junshi immediately persuaded: "The lord, please personally guard the four gates tonight!" I'm afraid that some people can't help but work together! ”
No, I can't die! Liu Zeqing finally made up his mind, anyway, he felt that Nanming wouldn't last long! Either wiped out by the Manchus or devoured by the Han army! It's a pity that the Han army is thousands of miles away! Otherwise, it will not lose the hearts of the people if they take refuge in the Han army!
"Strategist, please show me the way to live?"
Kong Junshi was overjoyed and said, "Hey! So far, I can only temporarily submit to the Northern Emperor! At least there will be no shortage of glory and wealth! This Nanming has never been able to resist the Qing soldiers! ”
The military advisor sighed with regret from the bottom of his heart, but the previous smile Liu Zeqing had already captured! He instantly understood, no wonder the Kong family strategists would take a fancy to him, General Qiu Ba! It turned out to be all for today! Never mind! This is already the only chance he can choose!
"So there are labor divisions going to the camp to clear the camp and strive for preferential treatment!" After saying this, Liu Zeqing was in a trance with affection! Who is born to like to be a traitor! The law of the jungle, he just wants to live!
Kong Junshi sighed and bowed: "The lord treats me well, and the liver and brain are also fighting for the lord's preferential treatment!" ”
Watching the military division's carriage leave the city, Liu Zeqing also began to come back to his senses. Next, he's going to hold a Hongmen feast!
Liu Zongbing's Mansion.
The generals seemed to have a bad premonition, especially the generals of the other state capitals.
Everyone arrived, and Liu Dashuai, dressed in military uniform, entered the hall surrounded by personal guards, and then hundreds of personal soldiers immediately surrounded him.
This! All the general soldiers immediately became frightened, this is the Hongmen feast!
has already been decided, Liu Zeqing no longer concealed it and said directly: "Ladies and gentlemen, there are no reinforcements in the imperial court, and we can't hold it for a few days!" The soldiers under his command are already indifferent and numb, if the casualties are increasing: the mutiny is not far off! ”
Everyone fell silent, not daring to bring forward even ideas.
Liu Zeqing sneered, this is the general of the Ming Dynasty! One by one, they are greedy for life and afraid of death!
"Please give your soldiers a way out! Tomorrow the city will open to welcome the Northern Emperor army! Who has an opinion to speak now? "The archers have drawn their bows, and whoever dares to talk too much will die.
The generals immediately shook their heads, but any brave generals had already been killed or abandoned! The civilian clique doesn't need heroes, they just need obedient dogs!
No one objected, and everyone immediately signed and swore allegiance to the Manchus!
Liu Zeqing was not worried that the Manchus would treat him badly, and he didn't see that several traitors had already been named the king of the county.
On the second day, Liu Zeqing took more than 80,000 people to join the Qing army, and then he also became the Duke of Lu as he wished. At this point, the Huaihe defense line completely collapsed, and most of the cities passed by the Qing troops were opened and surrendered. Cities that did not surrender were quickly slaughtered. Some remote towns and villages have become entertainment venues for the Qing army. After the Qing army left, even the bones could not be found.
The Huai River collapsed, and Huang Degong and Gaojie could only lead the army to withdraw to Yangzhou.
"Supervisor, Liu Liangzuo led an army of 100,000 to deceive the important town of Xiangyang, and all parts of Hubei completely collapsed!" Huang Degong's nose was sour, he lost Xiangyang City, and the entire Jiangbei was completely finished! It represents the complete fall of the Central Plains, and the mountains and rivers of Beifu will become a fantasy!
Scofa almost fainted! After the fall of Hubei, Yangzhou will become an isolated city! But Yangzhou is related to the safety of Nanjing, and it cannot be given up! Otherwise, it will be easier for the Qing army to cross the river, and then the Jiangnan court will be completely destroyed!
Gao Jie lowered his head and pondered, Nan Ming seemed to be dying! Do you do your duty or do you flee to Lingnan? Maybe only the Han army in this world can resist the Tartars!
After being silent for a while, Shi Kefa immediately said solemnly: "General Huang immediately led his troops back to Nanjing to consolidate the defense of Jiangnan!" Please, General! ”
Shi Kefa bowed deeply, and now Nanming can only use the general Yu Huang Degong! Gao Jie is cunning, and he can't order at all if he doesn't put it by his side!
"The superintendent is serious, and he will die in the end! Can Yangzhou City? "Huang Degong knows that the lonely city is difficult to defend! I'm afraid that Yangzhou's fate is not much better!
Shi Kefa shook his head: "There are 200,000 soldiers and horses in Yangzhou, and there is also the support of the sailors, which is enough to be stable!" When the recruits are trained, the Qing army can only press the soldiers! ”
No matter what the outcome is, Shi Kefa will decide to survive and die together in Yangzhou!
Gao Jie is depressed! This Shi Kefa has come to trap him again! People's minds have changed, and many soldiers no longer have the courage to resist the Qing army.
"The year before last, the Governor of Han said that the Tartars will slaughter Yangzhou City! The slaughter of the Tartars everywhere is also heinous! Gao Jie suddenly remembered the rumors spread by the Han army in Yangzhou.
The north is chaotic and the south is changing! The prestige of the Manchu Iron Cavalry for decades has disrupted people's hearts! Shi Kefa smiled bitterly, everything predicted by King Han became a reality!
"Let the citygoers and nearby villagers leave Yangzhou!" Shi Kefa was also unwilling to let them stay and die, he had no confidence in whether he could hold Yangzhou!
The people were panicked, with the persuasion of the government and the rumors of the previous Han king, most of the people of Yangzhou also left Yangzhou! Next, Yangzhou is the place of the great war, and it is the final decisive battle between the Southern Ming and the Manchu Qing in Jiangbei!
Guangzhou.
Guangxi has basically stabilized, and the fleet in the East China Sea has also won a great victory, and it has received 30 million taels of silver for the military government. There were also 10 million taels sent by the Zheng family, and Chen Xiong immediately became rich. Of course, the junta is his, and his may not be the junta. The real reality is that all resources are taken by the rulers.
Knowing that there was a widow named Shan Mu Yiteng who took the initiative to take refuge, Chen Xiong was also very happy! Although he hates the Wakos, he is most happy to have them as thugs. It's best to let the Japanese fight the Manchu Tartar ghosts to see which of them is more powerful, anyway, it's normal for the devils to die more.
When the Huai River battle came, he didn't dare to move lightly, otherwise he really wanted to go to Dongying to grab some women and recruit some bushido as thugs by the way! Then go to Goryeo by the way, and recruit 50,000 horses from the Henco army. Let the troops of East Asian countries be beaten out of by the Tartars, and then the Han army will solve the Tartars, otherwise the East Asian countries will keep laughing and saying that the Han people are useless! In later generations, he was ridiculed as the sick man of East Asia!
