Chapter 521 Going South

Wang Yan's large-scale entry into Sichuan caused the Ming army's eastern front to be empty, which was an excellent opportunity for the Qing court, if it could take advantage of this opportunity to capture Chu and Jiangxi, the Manchu Qing Dynasty would immediately be one step closer to the cause of unifying the world.

Jiangnan now has more than 200,000 soldiers, and nearly 30% of the Qing court's troops are placed in this anointed place to prevent the Ming Dynasty from rising up Chu and Jiangxi people down the river.

Now there is an opportunity to eliminate the threat of Chu Gan, and Hong Chengchou, as one of the top strategic talents in the world, immediately keenly grasped the opportunity.

Although his previous advice to Dolgon was to first Shu and then Chu, but now that the situation is changing, the Qing soldiers in Jiangnan cannot stand still, even if they can't defeat Chu and Jiangxi, they must contain Wang Yan into Sichuan, and ensure that the results of the Qing army's defeat of Xikou will not fall into the hands of the Ming court.

He had just seen Duoduo, his loose belly and puffy face made him still a little worried in his heart, this Qing court prince with great military achievements was consumed by the wine in Jiangnan, but listening to his words, Hong Chengchou was slightly relieved.

The two had a preliminary discussion, considering that there were many dreams at night and a rare opportunity, so they decided to immediately write to Dolgon, preparing to fight, and taking advantage of the Ming army to enter Sichuan, and smash the Southern Ming court to death with a hammer.

Immediately, the fast horses of 800 miles of urgency galloped north, while Hong Chengchou and Duoduo selected soldiers and horses in the south and prepared grain and grass.

Originally, the grain and grass of the Qing army were not sufficient, but it didn't matter, the army was ready to prepare, and when the troops were sent, it was estimated that it would be the beginning of July, when it was the summer harvest and summer planting, and the Qing soldiers could not only eat the summer grain in the south of the Yangtze River, but also rob the grain of Chu and Jiangxi along the way, and more importantly, it could affect the summer seeds of Chu and Jiangxi, so that the autumn grain of the Ming Dynasty was lost.

Hong Chengchou's abacus clanged, and the food problem that restricted the Qing court from sending troops was solved, and the only thing that was a little troublesome was that the Lord of the Eight Banners was taking refuge in the summer, and the problem of weak combat strength in the summer.

In mid-June, the report from Jiangning, after killing a few stagecoaches, was delivered to Dolgon.

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and since Wang Yan rose to Chu and Jiangxi, Dolgon's life has become more and more difficult day by day, and his career of dominating the world seems to have stagnated.

After the Longwu court opened up the situation in Chujiang and Mindong, a sign of the prosperity of Longwu was placed in front of the people of the world, and Longwu wanted to prosper, which was the crisis of the Qing court.

In the third year of Longwu and the fourth year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, Dolgon faced a major test since entering the customs.

This test was not only due to the gradual revival of the Ming court from the outside, but also from within, with Prince Hao Ge shooting Zhang Xianzhong, pacifying Xikou, and establishing the land of Sichuan and Shu for the Manchu Dynasty, which greatly shook his position.

The information sent by Jiangnan made Dolgon see an opportunity to solve his internal and external troubles in one fell swoop.

Sending troops south, one can take advantage of Wang Yan's main force in Sichuan, severely defeat the strength of Nanming, interrupt the so-called Longwu Zhongxing, and eliminate the external troubles he faces, and once the Qing army goes smoothly and regains the upper reaches, then he will naturally stabilize Haoge with the merit of occupying Chu and Jiangxi again, and at the same time solve the internal worries he faces.

When Dolgon read Hong Chengchou's suggestion, there were a hundred approvals in his heart, a God-given opportunity, and to avoid the summer of his mother, in the face of opportunities, great difficulties must also create opportunities.

King Sanshun, now only King Liangshun remains, urging these more than 50,000 people to monitor the Ming army in Henan to guard against Hubei, they received the order, but hesitated.

The land of Henan, the place where Chinese civilization originated, is called the Central Plains, which is a good place, but it has declined since the Song Dynasty.

During the Chongzhen period, the world was in turmoil, the south came to the north, the east went to the west, no matter which direction, you have to fight Henan, there is no way to fight the place of the four wars, it is so unlucky, more than ten years have passed, and it has long been ruined.

In addition to the ruins of Henan, which could not support the southward movement of the king of Liangshun, the Ming army in the area of Xiangfan, Ma Jinzhong and Wang Jincai had more than 50,000 people to reclaim, and the king of Liangshun did not have an advantage in terms of troops, and he had to attack Jiancheng, which obviously did not have much chance of winning.

The king of Liangshun got the order, hurriedly went to the book, and went south, and asked the court to allocate some soldiers, horses, money and food.

They are not as good as Jiangnan, He Tengjiao listened to Wang Yan's suggestion, and moved all the people of dozens of counties in northern Hubei away, and they went south, and it is estimated that the weeds in the rice fields have grown waist-high.

Dolgon immediately ordered the military department to supplement the army of the king of Liangshun, Kong Youde supplemented 20,000 people, with the three general soldiers of Line Guoan, Cao Dexian, and Xu Degong, and Shang Kexi also added 10,000 people, with Xu Erxian and Ban Zhifu, and raised the Henan army to 80,000.

In short, Dolgon wants people to give people, and money to money, and there is only one condition - to go south quickly.

At this time, the Qing court military department was still brewing a battle plan, and initially planned to divide the army into three ways, one was that the two Shun kings went to Xinye to attack Xiangyang to be responsible for Hubei, and the Qing army in Jiangnan was divided into two roads, one was a partial division, and the south bank of the Yangtze River was responsible for containing the Jiangxi Ming army, all the way to the main force, taking the north bank of the Yangtze River, and going straight to Wuchang, but the plan of the Qing court had not yet been fully finalized, and the Jiangxi Ming army took the lead and disrupted the rhythm of the Qing court.

The news that the Qing court was going to do it was naturally hidden by Hou Fangyu, who was beside Hong Chengchou, and learned it as soon as possible, and the information was quickly transmitted to the hands of Gandu Wan Yuanji through the Heaven and Earth Society.

Jiang Yueguang, Wan Yuanji, Jin Shengheng, the three giants of Jiangxi immediately gathered together to discuss, and finally set two strategies, one is to send troops to help harvest to ensure that the grain is not robbed by the Qing soldiers, and the other is to take the initiative to send troops to Jiangnan and burn the fields on a large scale, so that the Qing soldiers have no food and delay the time for the Qing soldiers to attack.

I have to say that these three people are more ruthless than Wang Yan, Jin Shengheng led 30,000 troops, suddenly attacked Chizhou Mansion to defeat the Qing general army Yangjie, and then the army was divided into ten shares, and the city was not attacked, and they set fire to the rice fields on a large scale, billowing smoke rose to the sky, and the people of Nanzhi cried.

At this time, Hong Chengchou was gathering troops in Jiangning, selecting a large army to prepare for the expedition, and immediately became angry when he got the news, and hurriedly sent troops to strangle him, but as soon as the soldiers and horses arrived, Jin Shengheng took the initiative to retreat to Jiangxi.

The Qing army counted the losses, and most of the rice fields in Chizhou, Huizhou, and Ningguo were burned down, and the losses were heavy.

And at this moment, Zhoushan Lu Jianguo was not lonely, and suddenly attacked the coast, he did not cooperate with Jin Shengheng, but purely starved his eyes were green, and went ashore to fight the landlord.

With the strong rise of the Longwu regime, Zhejiang, the former center of the anti-Qing Dynasty, and Lu Jianguo, who could sing against Longwu, gradually became a supporting role, but the overseas of eastern Zhejiang is still surging.

Although there is the secret support of maritime merchants in eastern Zhejiang, it is a drop in the bucket, tens of thousands of people stay on the island, how can they not be hungry and panic, so they have long been eyeing the summer grain in the south of the Yangtze River.

Jin Shengheng burned here, Lu Jianguo robbed here, they all ran away with one shot, one of them ran back to the old nest, and the other ran away by boat, which made Hong Chengchou very tired, and even the matter of sending troops was affected, but just when he was at a loss, an important secret report came from the general army of Anqing in the Qing court.
