Chapter 473: Frontier Deliberations
Wuhan Mansion, Gu Yuesheng, Jin Sheng, Xiao Fei, Tong Dawei, Wang Yuqun, Zhu Ge, and Meilin Fish will gather together.
Zhang Qiang had already gotten out of the busy reorganization of things, the 1st Guards Division was reorganized, occupied Wuhan Mansion, and freed up more troops for the troops led by Xiao Fei to attack Hubei Prefecture to attack their enemy, Xiao Fei except for the headquarters, other forces have been enriched into the combat troops in all directions.
Zhang Qiang looked at Xiao Fei, this kid has inherited his own domination skills, and he is at the full level, there is a system for this benefit, he can teach the skills he has learned to his subordinates, so that his subordinates can be improved.
Under his control, Tong Dawei, Wang Yuqun, Brother Zhu, Mei Linyu and other generals were obedient, and did not dare to have a trace of resistance and dissent, and did not give birth to me and the Metropolitan Governor were once the most intimate comrades-in-arms, and also the confidants of the Metropolitan Governor, why did you climb on my head with a rebellious mentality, and accepted Xiao Fei's leadership with peace of mind.
Xiao Fei's headquarters moved forward to Xiaogan County, with a personal guard battalion, a musket battalion of thousands of households, and a cavalry battalion, and the Seventh Field Brigade in his hand had already gone out to attack Xiangyang Mansion.
Brother Zhu became the new brigade commander of the Seventh Field Brigade.
The 19th Field Brigade led by Wang Yuqun went to attack Jingzhou Mansion, and the opponent was Li Guo's loyal battalion and Dashun army.
Merlinyu's 21st Field Brigade occupied Yichang Mansion and attacked Li Guo's Jingzhou Mansion in front and back.
But their main opponent is Chen Youzheng's Jingmen County's Anyway Army, Chen Youzheng is currently colluding with He Tengjiao, who is loyal to the Yongli Ming Dynasty and recognizes the Yongli Ming Dynasty as the orthodox royal family of the Ming Dynasty.
Brother Zhu's 20th Field Brigade was handed over to Tong Dawei, and Tong Dawei was also promoted, from the commander of the cavalry brigade to the commander of the field brigade, the commander of the cavalry brigade was only at the level of a general, leading 6,000 troops, the strength of the field brigade and the C-class field brigade was also 7,500 troops, and the 20th field brigade was the second-class brigade with 8,500 troops.
The remnants of his Fifth Cavalry Brigade were split into various field brigades and served as subordinate cavalry, because after Guangxi Prefecture cooperated with the Southern Ming State to fight with Kong Youde and Mang Gurtai, his cavalry brigade was no longer full, and after the bloody battle of the Qing army with Aobai, his cavalry had actually been split and disabled, so there was no need to keep it in wartime, so it could only be split out and assigned to various field brigades as cavalry.
The 20th Field Brigade attacked in the direction of Xinyang, contained He Tengjiao, occupied the territory, and monitored the Qing army in Anhui Prefecture, this direction was directly responsible for the 7th Field Brigade led by Xiao Fei before Zhang Qiang led the 1st Guards Division, and now with Zhang Qiang's 1st Guards Division, he can let go of the attack on He Tengjiao's department, and send the 20th Field Brigade to monitor the movements of the Qing army in Anhui Prefecture.
Although Hong Chengchou had taken refuge in the Lu State and became a member of the Ming Dynasty, it was customary for both Zhang Qiang and the Huaxia Army fighting in Hubei Prefecture to refer to them as the Qing Army.
The war machine of the Huaxia army started, rumbling and crushing the enemy, the Qing army was wiped out in front of them, and achieved absolute superiority, compared to the Qing army, He Tengjiao of the Yongli Ming Dynasty who had been pressed and beaten by the Qing army, in the eyes of the Huaxia army, was full of resilience, but lacked the motivation to win, to solve them, they had to completely eliminate their leader He Tengjiao, He Tengjiao fell, and the forces of the Yongli Ming Dynasty led by him naturally collapsed.
At this point, Zhang Qiang believes that Brother Zhu, who has experienced the battle of Raozhou Mansion and the battle against 600,000 Qing troops, will definitely handle it well.
Although Tong Dawei led the infantry army to fight for the first time, if he only monitored and occupied some of the territory abandoned by the enemy, and eliminated some deserters and bandits, there should be no problem.
The important battlefield is still on the side of the loyal battalion of Tong Li Guo and Chen Youzheng's army.
Li Guo, as Li Zicheng's nephew, followed Li Zicheng in his teens to fight in the south and the north, made a lot of contributions, defeated many Ming army generals, and was quite familiar with the tactics of the Dashun army's mobile warfare, and it was easy to use, Zhang Qiang was worried that Wang Yuqun and Meilinyu, who had been serving in the regular army, would suffer his losses.
It can be seen from the information of the early operations sent by Xiao Fei that the area around Jingzhou Mansion today can be said to be a huge rogue barracks, and all the people have been coerced by Li Guo, with a strength of 300,000 troops, which is almost the total population of the people in several provinces near Jingzhou Mansion.
For half a month, Xiao Fei's strategy was to intersperse from behind, first occupy Yichang Mansion, the capital previously occupied by He Tengjiao's department, and then surround Jingzhou Mansion from behind, which has been achieved, the army led by Mei Linyu successfully went around from the southeast to the southwest, attacked all the way, and finally took Yichang Mansion, and He Tengjiao's troops were defeated and retreated to Xiangyang Mansion.
At present, Merlin Fish is carrying out the second step, attacking Chen Youzheng's department in Jingmen.
Compared with the cunning Li Guobu, Chen Youzheng's department is just a reverse army, a strategy and tactics are still in the pre-Ming cold weapon era by the former Ming surrender of the Qing army plus local gentry, landlords and family members of the local self-defense army organization, according to intelligence, the other party has 5,000 regular soldiers, township warriors and regimental training, surrendered Qing army green battalion soldiers 5,000, and recruited 2,000 young and strong people.
They take guerrilla, sneak attack, fight with the Qing army, sometimes with the Yongli Ming troops to fight each other, friction, some small battles, in general and Yongli Ming to maintain an ambiguous attitude of the warlord, if you leave, you must not believe that He Tengjiao can give him much benefit, and there is a yearning for the Ming in his heart, before there is no way to contact the other superior organizations of the Ming Dynasty, they maintain the submission to He Tengjiao on the surface, obey the dispatch, but not their confluence.
The war has been fought from the Qing army to the present, Chen Youzheng is a repeated general, who has surrendered to the Qing army, and the general of the Ming army who came over anyway, he must be a treacherous and cunning, and he refuses to believe He Tengjiao or the Yongli Ming court, and at the same time maintains a sober judgment of the situation.
Zhang Qiang asked Xiao Fei, "Have you tried to send someone to persuade you to surrender?" Xiao Fei looked at Jin Sheng, Jin Sheng was here to suppress the formation, and he was also the messenger to solve the local Ming people's defection to the Huaxia Army, Zhang Qiang had sent him to preside over the overall situation here, but later sent Gu Yuesheng here as a civil affairs official, so there was no need for him, the first secretary of the cabinet, to deal with this matter, after Gu Yuesheng arrived, Jin Sheng handed over the relevant civil affairs to Gu Yuesheng, and he was ready to return to the center.
He, the secretary of the ministry, couldn't leave the center for too long.
Due to Zhang Qiang's arrival, he did not make it, so he was called here for a meeting.
Jin Sheng saw Xiao Fei turn his head to look at him, bowed down and said: "Report to the Metropolitan Governor, Weichen once sent him a letter as the secretary of the Huaxia Army, but he was stubborn, refused to surrender to our Huaxia Army, and insulted us as traitors who stole the country, and Li Zicheng was a thief, a rogue, and disdained to be in the company of our army. ”
Zhang Qiang has nothing to say, for this kind of person, he doesn't have time to slowly play Zhuge Liang's Huairou policy, what seven capture Meng won seven vertical Meng won or something, his talent and historical fame have not reached that level, this kind of person had better be like Bai Wenxuan, who is more famous than him, obediently submit, otherwise he can only bear the anger of the Huaxia Army.
"Well, such a person doesn't need mercy, Jin Shangshu, you immediately go back to the center, help Prime Minister Zhou Congee settle down, and assist Deputy Prime Minister Zhu Dadian in managing the government, and leave it to Minister Gu Yuesheng and General Xiao Fei here, I believe that with them, Hubei Prefecture will be determined in a few days."
"Thank you for the Governor, Weichen will return to the center, sit in the center, and share the worries of the Governor." Jin Sheng saw that Zhang Qiang didn't need himself anymore, so he immediately bowed down and retreated.
