Longwu Zhu Yujian has changed from the life of daily fear, the courtiers are basically equipped, Nanming has the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, has the orthodox legitimacy of the people's hearts, at least now many people who are determined to want to restore the Ming Dynasty Dynasty and the squire, the civil officials have defected to the country, and soon made up for the lack of officials in the Southern Ming Kingdom, the embarrassment of the lack of military generals.

After several times of annihilation-style disasters, Longwu has learned or has been able to let go of those officials and generals who disobey him, Su Guansheng is basically with him, a little stronger, it is exactly what he needs to see, a Zhang Ju official first assistant is he thought about it before and after, after a few painful thoughts, he feels that this is the best match at the moment, not to mention that Su Guansheng does not have Zhang Juzheng's means and talents, but he has a little means to maintain this situation, and if he wants Su Guansheng to do more, Su Guansheng can't do it.

In the recent period, the war with the Portuguese, as well as the war with Kong Youde, made him bothered and felt a little exhausted, but the situation did not collapse as he imagined, the frontal Nanming resisted the attack of the Qing army, and the filth with the Yongli court on the side was also alleviated, Su Guansheng sent a group of officials from the Ming Dynasty to defect, vertical and horizontal, through bribery, intimidation, persuasion and other means, so that the surrounding Yongli Ming army finally stopped looking for trouble with the Southern Ming Kingdom, and lost some territory and money for him, which was worth it.

Just like the Huaxia Army's means of the Southern Ming Kingdom, it's just that the relationship between the Southern Ming Kingdom and the Huaxia Army is really loved and hated, and there is no relationship with the Yongli Ming Army, it's just a simple battle between your territory, my territory, you occupy more, I occupy more, you are the legitimate Ming orthodoxy, I am not the legitimate Ming orthodoxy.

Zhu Yujian didn't understand the thoughts of this young neighbor more and more, so he could only try his best to maintain it, and try his best to maintain it, according to the character of the previous court, if he did not obey Wang Hua, he was an enemy, he was a rebel, a traitor, and he had to send a large army to exterminate him.

But in the current situation, it is not certain who will exterminate whom.

The Taixi people are powerful, hundreds of thousands of Southern Ming troops to exterminate, which one is better at the beginning, but in the end, hundreds of thousands of Southern Ming troops were almost all wiped out, hastily cleaned up, and got more than 20,000 remnants of the defeated generals, if it wasn't for the Huaxia Army to resist, if it wasn't for the Huaxia Army Governor Zhang Qiang on the battlefield, the Huaxia Army came to help overnight, maybe the Taixi people have entered Guangzhou Mansion or directly destroyed the Southern Ming Dynasty in Zhaoqing Mansion.

The Huaxia army only used less than 10,000 people to defeat the Taixi people, captured 20,000 Taixi people and tens of thousands of Taixi people attached to the army, at this moment although the Southern Ming Kingdom has been mostly stable, restored to the prosperity of the Hongguang court.

The army also had 400,000 men.

Feng Shuangli, who was good at fighting, resisted the attack of Ma Degong's troops several times, occupied the territory from the coast of Guangxi to the flank of Zhaoqing Mansion, and was the southwest barrier of the Southern Ming Kingdom, with 100,000 soldiers and horses.

Most of the garrison troops in some garrison areas are newly recruited Ming army village warriors, regimental training, and squire's family members, about 50,000 people.

and the 100,000 people under Su Guansheng's current control, who were equipped with the elite soldiers of the Ming army who had purchased the weapons and armor of the captured Qing army from the Huaxia army.

There are also some other generals of the Yongli Ming Dynasty who have taken refuge in the rebel army, such as Li Chengdong, Wang Deren and others, and the strength of these people is about sixty or seventy thousand.

and now after three months of training, more than 90,000 soldiers of the New Army, who have been drawn from various armies and recruited from the localities, have been combined into eight field brigades and one Praetorian Guard unit.

In his opinion, these troops are already very elite, ten times stronger than the previous Ming army, but he has watched the Huaxia army grow up, and the strength of the Huaxia army is not something that his forces can shake.

Su Guansheng has always opposed the garrison of the Huaxia Army in the Southern Ming Kingdom, but he knows that there is no garrison of the Huaxia Army, the waist of the Southern Ming Kingdom is not hard, and the confidence is insufficient, with the Huaxia Army less than 10,000 people to win the war of the Taixi people, the ministers of the DPRK and China are even more one-sided hope that the Huaxia Army will at least garrison a force, so as to prevent the Qing army from sneaking up on the imperial court and repeating the mistake of the last Qing army sneaking into the Tingzhou Mansion in Fujian from the southwest Guangdong Mansion.

These officials don't want to stay on the territory of the Huaxia Army for a while, although the territory of the Huaxia Army is very rich and stable, and it is a good place to live, but these courtiers are carefully selected by Zhu Yujian, and they are determined to follow him to restore the country, not the previous soft officials who fell with the wind, Zhu Yujian can be regarded as seeing through those Nanming officials who stayed on the territory of the Huaxia Army when he returned to the country and refused to leave, and would rather be a rich man than be an official of his Nanming Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, for the proposal of the envoy of the Huaxia Army, please consider carefully, we have finally rebuilt an army, and it cannot be used to help the Huaxia Army to fight a meaningless war, we have no hope of victory, if the victory is also a tragic victory, this is not in line with the current situation of the Southern Ming Kingdom, and the ministers and the people will not agree." Li Guangdi looked loyal and asked for the lives of the people and ministers of Nanming and said to Longwu Zhu Yujian.

He had experienced the battle with the Taisi people, and when he came back, he had palpitations, and recuperated for nearly half a month before he came out again as an official, because of the victory there, he was promoted to the rank of chamberlain of the Ministry of Rites by Longwu, and was promoted, but every time he told the people who inquired about the battle about the tragedy of the battle, he often wept bitterly, and did not want to mention it again.

Su Guansheng was calm and rational, he said to Long Wu: "Your Majesty, we can't help but accept the proposal of the Huaxia Army, after all, this is conducive to our great cause of recovery, if we can recover Guangxi in this battle, our territory can expand more than half of the provinces, directly bordering Huguang, instead of needing to divert to Jiangxi Prefecture to contact Huguang, when the time comes, He Tengjiao may also defect to our country again, recognize the legitimacy of Your Majesty's inheritance of the country, and our strength will expand a lot." ”

Longwu Zhu Yujian calmly listened to the opinions of the two ministers who were very important in the Nanming Kingdom at this time, listened to the opinions of others, and then carefully chose this is his merit.

He didn't answer the questions of the two people, but said to Su Guansheng: "How likely is it that Feng Shuangli will accept a decisive battle and completely solve our problem with Kong Youde?" ”

Su Guansheng said: "So far, he will still listen to us in the general sense, but in fact he is still very cautious, all the battles that want the soldiers in his hands to be lost, big battles, he doesn't want to participate, unless the Qing army is too strong, he will take a crazy bite, judging from the battle in the past half a year, he seems to be playing a balance with Ma Degong, Ma Degong also seems to have figured out his character, and he will never have a big battle with him, and the conflict is basically controlled below 5,000 troops. The Qing army seemed to be waiting for something. ”

Longwu was very disappointed, Feng Shuangli, and some other Ming army generals who took refuge still can't change their previous habits, they always want others to fight, to lose, they fishermen profit, or they are always swaying, want to bet on both sides, for a king, such a general is the most annoying, if he was Chongzhen, he would have pushed such a person out of the noon gate and beheaded him, but he can't control them now, what he can mobilize is the 5,000 forbidden army, as well as the 90,000 troops under the command of Su Zhengqing and Su Guansheng.

Maybe they have to lose a little so that they can completely obey their own emperor.

"Hit, why don't you fight? We can't wait for the Qing army to die, the more we wait, the stronger the Qing army will be, and when they recover the hearts of the people in the north, there will be more Qing troops, and there will be some losses What are we afraid of, as long as the Huaxia army is still there, we still have hope for recovery. ”

"And how do you arrange the march?" Su Guansheng asked.

"Su Aiqing, you are sitting in the middle of the court, led by General Su Zhengqing, accompanied by Li Chengdong and Wang Deren, attacking the enemy from the south to the north, Feng Shuangli attacking to the southwest, and advancing the border to the southeast of the Yunnan-Guizhou border." He glanced at Lee Kwang-di.

"Li Aiqing went to supervise the army in Feng Shuangli's army, and the 19th Field Brigade of the Huaxia Army followed the rear of Feng Shuangli's army to supervise the opponent's march, and Tong Dawei's Fifth Cavalry Brigade followed Wang Deren and Li Chengdong to march behind them, and sent a soldier to supervise the army in their army."

Li Guangdi asked: "Then how do you arrange for the DPRK and China, can't all the troops go to war?" ”

Longwu Zhu Yujian said: "Zhaoqing Mansion is so close to Guangzhou Mansion, there is still a brigade of troops here, as well as 5,000 Janissary Army, the Qing army can't come, and it can't win if it comes, the Guangzhou Mansion army of the Huaxia Army will not let the Qing army succeed, this time the court will definitely be very safe, and there will not be a sneak attack by the enemy like last time, and I will almost be caught." ”

He turned to the eunuch beside him and said, "Go and inform Minister Zhang Liang of my decision." After speaking, he was a little sorry that Zhang Liang, the chief eunuch next to him, actually became someone else's minister, when will the eunuch also be able to enter the cabinet as an official?

Longwu Zhu Yujian's decision was quickly sent out from Zhang Liang's eight hundred miles in an expedited manner, but in just a few days, Zhang Qiang knew Longwu Zhu Yujian's decision, and at this time he had already inspected Nanchang Mansion and sat down with Liu Liangzuo.

Brother Zhu, who was in charge of the Second Cavalry Brigade, also quickly came to Nanchang Mansion to meet him.

The three of them carefully compared the map and discussed how to deal with the attack on the side of the Southern Ming Kingdom and the reaction of the Qing army.

"Brother Zhu, you let the militia brigade cover the people along the Yuezhou Mansion, and try to withdraw to Nanchang Mansion as much as possible, hoping that after the war, the people can retreat, Yuezhou Mansion is too prominent, where only the army and militia brigade are left, and the garrison brigade is also withdrawn to Jiujiang Mansion to strengthen the vigilance.

It is estimated that 300,000 to 500,000 civilians will have to be evacuated, and there will be 20,000 to 30,000 militia and garrison troops, and we will disengage from the Qing army, and your main task will be to guard the passage between Nanchang and the provinces behind.

Jiujiang Prefecture should be prepared to be besieged by the enemy, and the 7th Field Brigade here should be prepared to support the 2nd Cavalry Brigade with Mi Chun as much as possible, and if necessary, it could abandon Jiujiang Mansion and fight a decisive battle with the enemy in Nanchang. ”

Let go of an opening, and then let the enemy land, destroy the enemy on land, a narrow strip of land, just enough to limit the enemy's force to advance as much as possible.

Zhang Qiang's idea was that it was impossible for the frontal Qing army to take this opportunity to land in Yuezhou Mansion and Jiujiang Prefecture, and that it might transfer troops to sweep away the Yongli Ming army in Huguang, and then support Kong Youde's Guangxi troops, but the Qing army was definitely not ready for a decisive battle with the Huaxia army.

Because it was too difficult, in the battle of Raozhou Mansion, Hong Chengchou must have seen the power of trenches, forts, muskets, and artillery, if he was not sure enough, he definitely did not want to resist the Huaxia Army, but hoped that the Huaxia Army would cross the river and land, they used trenches and muskets and artillery to consume the strength of the Huaxia Army, and then the million army counterattacked and surrounded the Huaxia Army in a narrow place, just like the Huaxia Army did in Raozhou Mansion.

Hong is an opportunist.
