After the news of Wang Shike Changsha reached Zhaoqing, almost the entire Zhaoqing was immersed in a sea of cheers, especially in the high-level of the Tang Dynasty, after learning the news, everyone had a smile on their faces!

Anyone who has a little understanding of the front-line battle situation can know how significant the significance of Wang's division to conquer Changsha is!

The Tang Dynasty's conquest of Changsha represents not only a simple way of conquering a city, but more importantly, a series of reactions behind it!

After the First World War, it can almost be announced that the Huguang area south of the Yangtze River, except for Wuchang, will all fall into the hands of the Tang Dynasty.

At the same time, more importantly, after the Tang Dynasty took Changsha, he could return to Yuezhou in the future, and then go straight to Wuchang with Yuezhou as the front base, all the way to the east along the Yangtze River, and even into Jiujiang and even Anqing Mansion.

And in this way, as long as the Ming army is not stupid, then they will not continue to besiege Nanchang, because when the main force of the first army and the second army arrives in Jiangxi, it will form a counter-encirclement posture to the more than 60,000 Ming troops in this place, and if the Ming army of this force is also lost, what will the Ming army use to continue to defend Jiangnan in the future?

After the news of the fall of Changsha came out, the Tang Dynasty was jubilant, while the Ming army was panicked, even Zhang Yue, who had long expected such a result, did not sleep all night after receiving the news.

Then he ordered the evacuation of many workshops, craftsmen and even ordinary people in Wuchang City on the south bank of the Yangtze River to Hanyang Mansion on the north bank, and at the same time began to use all means to dispatch ships to prepare to block the entrance of Dongting Lake into the Yangtze River.

At the same time, it was Pegasus who gave an order to the Ming army besieging Nanchang, asking them to give up the siege of Nanchang as soon as possible, and then return to Jiujiang!

However, when this order was transmitted to the city of Nanchang, it caused disagreements within the Ming army, because the Ming army besieging Nanchang was divided into two parts, namely the supervision standard and the training army belonging to Zhang Yue, and the border army under the command of Wang Yiqi and the Jiangnan New Army.

The border army under Wang Yiqi and the Jiangnan New Army naturally refused to go to Jiujiang, and they wanted to go back to Fuzhou to redeploy their defenses!

In the end, there was no way, the two Ming armies went back to their respective homes, the supervising standard and the training army returned to Jiujiang, and the border army and the Jiangnan New Army returned to Fuzhou!

However, the superintendent and the training army have not yet returned to Jiujiang, but they have received an urgent order from Zhang Yue, asking them to leave a part of their troops in Jiujiang and quickly return to defend Wuchang.

Compared with the safety of Jiangnan, Zhang Yue cared more about the safety of Wuchang, and was more afraid that the puppet Tang thief army would cross the Yangtze River and kill directly to the north of Huguang, and then go all the way north to Henan.

As for Jiangnan, that is Wang Yiqi's business, and he has 20,000 multilateral troops and a new army in Jiangnan that is known as more than 100,000, and it is their business to defend Jiangnan.

When Zhang Yue urgently adjusted the deployment, Wang Yiqi also scolded Zhang Yue on the one hand, on the one hand, he was sending more troops to Jiujiang, and on the other hand, he also directly and strategically abandoned Fuzhou, and then transferred troops back to Anqing!

Now Wang Yiqi also knows that these puppet Tang thief armies rely heavily on logistics supplies to fight wars, and if they want to prevent the puppet Tang thief army from marching east into the south of the Yangtze River, they are not to hold Fuzhou, but to hold the Yangtze River!

As long as the Yangtze River is held, even if the puppet Tang thief army can march to Jiangnan from the land south of the Yangtze River, it will be trapped by the lack of supply and will not be able to draw more troops.

And as long as the Yangtze River is held, then it can counterattack Nanchang at any time, if the puppet Tang thief army dares to bypass the Yangtze River and attack Jiangnan directly by land, then the Ming army can directly enter Nanchang through the water division, and even seize Ji'an and Ganzhou along the Ganjiang River.

At the same time as Wang Yiqi urgently deployed defenses, he also flew 500 li to report to the Beijing Division, informing him of the news of the loss of Changsha, and at the same time requesting reinforcements from the imperial court, and appointing the Dao surname to the border army and the newly trained musket troops in the northern provinces.

Within a few days, Changsha fell, causing the news of the passivity of the entire southern strategy was spread all over the Beijing Division, after Emperor Zhengde learned of this, because he was angry, he finally got out of bed occasionally and fainted in bed again!

In the end, after the ministers discussed, they decided to transfer 10,000 border troops and 10,000 new troops from the northern provinces to the south to aid Wang Yiqi.

When the Ming army was shaken and tried to save the situation, Li Chunjing and Hao Bonian were unforgiving, and they both thought that they should take advantage of this rare period to expand the results of the war.

But now all the troops have certain losses, a lot of ammunition consumption, and after continuous battles, there are still a large number of Ming troops in Changsha and Hengyang, and at the same time, the northern part of Huguang and Guangxi also needs to be taken.

Therefore, after discussion, the First Army gave priority to replenishing some of its technical equipment, ammunition, and even personnel to the Second Army, so that the Second Army could regain its peak combat effectiveness, and then quickly go north to Yuezhou and then to Wuchang.

In this way, the various units of the Second Army, which had been short of more than 3,000 men, were restored to full strength, and then the main force of the Second Army quickly went north to Yuezhou, and joined the Fourth Mixed Regiment to continue the attack to the north.

On the one hand, it was to wait for the replenishment of recruits, ammunition, artillery and other equipment in the rear, and on the other hand, it was also necessary to clear the remaining stragglers of the Ming army, and to launch operations in the northeast and west of Huzhou, and to stick to the bridgehead of Yuezhou to ensure the stability of the logistics supply line of the Second Army.

At present, the First Army is seriously short of manpower, and its artillery, ammunition, and other technical equipment are also seriously insufficient, and it is no longer able to launch a large-scale offensive like the Second Army, but it is still possible to hold Huguang and at the same time drive out the Ming troops in the northwestern direction of Huguang.

After the army was divided into two routes, the strong and strong units of the Second Army soon rushed all the way to Wuchang along the Yangtze River!

After Zhang Yue learned the news that the puppet Tang thief army was about to be killed, on the one hand, he accelerated the transfer of workshops, population, and materials on the south bank to the north bank, and on the other hand, he also strictly ordered the superintendent and training army in the direction of Jiangxi to quickly return to help.

On March 16, after ten days of attack, the forward troops of the Second Army of the Tang Army arrived outside Wuchang City, but to their surprise, Wuchang City on the south bank of the Yangtze River was already empty, and even the city was burned down!

However, on the other side of Wuchang, there were countless Ming troops in Hanyang Mansion, and there were a large number of ships on the other side of the river.

After discovering this situation, Li Chunjing, a general who fought quite casually, did not stay for half a moment, except for leaving a fifth mixed regiment to stay in the ruins of Wuchang Mansion City, the main force continued to advance eastward, and at the same time, he also sent someone to tell Hao Bonian to let the First Army take over Wuchang City!

He's going to Jiujiang!

On March 29, the main force of the Second Army arrived outside Jiujiang City, and at the same time arrived with two infantry regiments of the Sixth Infantry Division, which were originally stationed in Nanchang!

Three days later, the Fifth Mixed Regiment, which was originally stationed in Nanchang, also handed over the defense with the troops of the First Army, and rushed to the outside of Jiujiang City through forced marching to catch up!

In the face of the Second Army, which brought together almost all the main forces, the Ming army in Jiujiang City simply couldn't resist!

Because the strength is completely out of comparison, and the Ming army in the city is still mixed, there are more than 2,000 supervisors, more than 5,000 training troops, more than 5,000 border troops, more than 10,000 Jiangnan new troops, and more than 10,000 local guards.

It seems that there are a lot of total troops, but in fact, there are only more than 10,000 people who can fight!

On the first day after the Second Army launched a general offensive, it was almost already a place to occupy, although the Ming army resisted bravely, but it was still unable to resist in the face of absolute strength.

Three days later, the Jiujiang defenders saw that they could not hold it and were forced to abandon the city and break through.

And the direction of withdrawal is also very interesting, supervising the standard and training the army, is to cross the river directly, and then run back towards Hanyang, while the rest of the border army and the new army in Jiangnan are directly down the east of the river to Anqing.

After this battle, the Second Army took Jiujiang, but it also exhausted the last ammunition reserves of the Second Army!

In the whole army, there are only 500 grenades left, and only 3,000 solid bullets!

And this, in fact, can also be announced that the Second Army, like the First Army, has lost the ability to launch a large-scale offensive and needs a long period of rest and replenishment before it can recover.

Thus, it can be regarded as the official end of the second autumn and winter offensive that spanned the three years of Xuanping and the fourth year of Xuanping!

If the Tang Army wants to launch such a large-scale offensive again, it will take at least half a year to prepare, and before that, the Ming army finally got an extremely valuable respite.

But this is not important, the important thing is that through the second autumn and winter offensive, the Tang Dynasty finally took down the southern part of Huguang and Jiangxi in one fell swoop, laying a great strategic advantage.

Next, the Tang Dynasty will go north if he wants to go north, go east if he wants to go east, and go west if he wants to go west, and there is a lot of room for strategic maneuver!

Under the influence of the great victory of the second autumn and winter offensive, the scale of the spring examination in the fourth year of Xuanping was even greater than in previous years, and this time, the number of scholars who participated in the imperial examination of the Tang Dynasty in the fourth year of Xuanping reached a full 4,000, and there is a very noteworthy phenomenon that the scholars who came to participate in the imperial examination this time were not only the traditional scholars from Liangguang and Guizhou, but also from Yunnan, Huguang and Jiangxi.

Because after receiving news that a large number of scholars from the above-mentioned provinces would come to Zhaoqing to take the exam, and a considerable number of these scholars were from the former Ming Dynasty, the Ministry of Rites had specially asked for the postponement of the examination originally scheduled for February to April.

In April, 4,000 scholars gathered in Zhaoqing, of which more than 1,000 were former Ming Ju people, and there were even people in their families who were officials in the Ming Dynasty, but they were people who came to the Tang Dynasty to participate in the examination.

Seeing this scene, Li Xuan smiled: "It seems that I am already worth their bet!" ”

Just laugh, just turn around and continue to tease Princess Vier, who is crawling all over the house, making her giggle!

Dong Yunyun on the side watched Li Xuan and Princess Wei'er crawling around the house playing, and she also pursed her lips and smiled, such a happy appearance of the family made her feel happy when she saw it.

Well, if the two sluts of the Ye family and the Wang family and the two evil seeds who lived in the prince's mansion died, it would be the best!
