Chapter 308 Welcoming the Army
Since the Jiashen State Change, the Ming Dynasty, which retreated to the south, has gone through three eras of Hongguang, Luwang Jianguo and Longwu in just two years.
The situation in the imperial court is changing rapidly, not to mention the local officials, even the cabinet elders who are in the center of the imperial court cannot fully grasp the movements of the imperial court and the situation in the world.
Regarding the situation in Fujian, even Wang Yan only knows a rough idea, let alone Du Yinxi, who has been busy with Hunan affairs.
In this mission, Yang Shouming is mainly responsible for supervising and acting as the emperor's eyes and ears, so the specific thing is still to discuss with Lu Taiping, who knows military affairs, and Du Yinxi.
"What? Zheng Zhilong wants to surrender? ”
Du Yinxi listened to Lu Taiping's words, as if struck by lightning, and stood up in shock.
The Tang Dynasty was far from Emperor Yizong in terms of bloodline, and although Wang Yan supported the Tang Dynasty, the influence of the Tang Dynasty was actually very limited.
After the Zheng clan welcomed the Tang Dynasty into Fujian, and supported the Tang King as the emperor, the Longwu court was established, and it was precisely because the Zheng clan supported Longwu as the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty that the influence of the Longwu court gradually expanded, far exceeding the Lu domain in eastern Zhejiang, and was recognized by the southwestern provinces.
The Zheng family, which is now in control of Fujian, is actually going to surrender to the Qing court, so won't the court be destroyed immediately?
"This matter is not completely certain, Your Majesty and the elders are also trying their best to redeem it, and the lord of the country even returned to Anping City in person to persuade him, but no matter what the result is, His Majesty has already made up his mind to move to Ganzhou or Huguang to get rid of the constraints of the Zheng family, so he sent the lower officials to urge the Duke of Chu, Inspector He, and Lord Futai to send 20,000 soldiers and horses to meet the holy car out of the customs."
Lu Taiping was shocked when he saw that Du Yinxi was shocked, so he comforted him slightly, but Du Yinxi heard that the land of Fujian was surging, and the emperor and Zheng Zhilong were already incompatible, otherwise the emperor would not have to leave Fujian.
"In this way, the situation in Fujian is not optimistic." Du Yinxi's face was about heavy, and said: "Zheng Zhilong is swaying, as a courtier, Benfu can't watch His Majesty fall into a dangerous place, and the matter of driving out of the customs cannot be delayed, and it must be handled immediately." ”
When Lu Taiping and Yang Shouming heard this, their faces were suddenly overjoyed, and they hurriedly said: "Futai's words are extremely true, Your Majesty also wants to leave Fujian as soon as possible, and before leaving, he also instructed the lower officials, as long as Huguang sends troops, he will immediately send someone to report to the imperial court, and His Majesty will set off from Fujing when he gets the news, and go to Xiguan to wait for the army to welcome the army and pick up the car. ”
Since the Hongguang Imperial Court, the remnants of the Ming forces in the south, for the issue of reunification and continuation, now the Longwu Imperial Court has finally been recognized by the seven southwestern provinces, if because of Zheng Zhilong's surrender to the Qing Dynasty, the entire Longwu Imperial Court was the Qing court, and the Southern Ming Dynasty will inevitably fall into a state of fragmentation again.
As a member of the imperial court, he naturally couldn't see this situation, he walked back and forth in front of the two of them, and then said urgently: "The matter of welcoming the car is urgent, but the two of them should also know that almost all the soldiers and horses in Hunan were taken away by the Duke of Chu, and the only remaining ones were the Houyong battalions in the Heng and Chen areas, but there are only more than 3,000 people in this department, although there are some soldiers and horses in other provinces, but most of them are overwhelmed guards and local townsmen, and the number of people is too far from what His Majesty requires, so please give Ben Fu a little time." ”
When Yang Shouming heard this, he couldn't help frowning slightly and asked: "Today's celebration in the city, the Duke of Chu captured Wuchang, presumably the war has come to an end, and Futai can send a message to the Duke of Chu to divide 20,000 horses, it should not be difficult." ”
"Father-in-law Yang doesn't know anything!" Du Yinxi shook his head and said: "Although Wuchang has been captured, there are still Azig and Wu Sangui in the north to attack urgently. A few days ago, a military report came from Xiangyang, Fancheng had fallen, and the Qing army was storming Xiangyang. ”
Today in the city, Lu Taiping and Yang Shouming saw the people celebrating the victory of Wuchang, and their hearts were also happy, they thought that with the victory, the situation in Huguang would inevitably improve, and there would be no problem with the dispatch of 20,000 horses to meet them, but they did not expect that the Ming army would finish Wuchang and go to Xiangyang to meet the 100,000 Qing soldiers of Azig, and Wang Yan could not draw troops and horses at all.
"How's that okay?" Lu Taiping said in a hurry: "The Qing court is very anxious to recruit Zheng Zhilong, and there may be a rebellion in the land of Fujian at any time, if you can't take Your Majesty out, the court will be in danger." ”
It is true that there are no 20,000 horses under the command of Du Yinxi, but in the land of Huguang, there are really no soldiers and horses, but Du Yinxi really does not want to contact with He Tengjiao's faction, he was silent for a moment before he made up his mind and said: "The two of you don't need to worry, it is a matter of life and death in the court, as well as the safety of Your Majesty, and Benfu will not do his best." At present, there are still 30,000 soldiers and horses in Yuezhou City, although they are not under the control of Benfu, but after all, they are all imperial court troops, so Benfu will ask the two of them to go to Yuezhou with me, how about it? ”
Wang Yan defeated Wuchang, Yuezhou became the rear, and the 30,000 soldiers and horses left by He Tengjiao could be freed up for other purposes.
Originally, Wang Yan and Du Yinxi, together with He Tengjiao, took advantage of He Tengjiao to go to Yuezhou with a large army to grab merit, occupied Changsha, and overthrew and abolished He Tengjiao's governance strategy in Hunan.
In Yuezhou City, there are a lot of officials from He Tengjiao's faction who hate him to the bone, so during the time that Du Yinxi was in Changsha, he did not have any communication with Fu Shangrui and others who guarded Yuezhou.
This time, in order to form an army to meet the driver, he had to lower his posture, go to Yuezhou to move Fu Shangrui, and transfer 20,000 horses to Jiangxi to pick up the driver.
At that moment, Du Yinxi explained to Zhao Wenkai, the governor of Changsha, and then took two envoys and quickly went to Yuezhou.
Since Wang Yan and He Tengjiao reached an agreement to jointly send troops to attack Wuchang, the affairs of Yuezhou were basically handled by Fu Shangrui, the governor of Biyuan, and as the Ming army marched all the way, the states and counties along the way were anyway, and Fu Shangrui's affairs have become increasingly complicated, but he likes this sense of busyness very much, which makes him feel like he is in power, and he has completely regarded himself as the governor of Hubei.
The news that the Ming army captured Wuchang, after the spread of Yuezhou, Fu Shangrui's mood was better, although he lost Hunan, but he got Hubei, which is really good for him, after all, he will replace the Northern Fu Zhang Kuang who died in the war, and become the new governor of Hubei, Hubei is the place where he should be strategized.
Fujian's affairs are like a sharp sword, hanging above the head of Plug Yinxi, so he didn't dare to slack off at all, and Lu Taiping and Yang Shouming went out of Changsha City, and they went all the way to the outside of Yuezhou City in only a day and a half.
Fu Shangrui got the news, but his face couldn't help but be puzzled, and he was shocked in his heart, could it be that Du Yinxi saw that the Ming army had recovered Wuchang, so he wanted to take back control of Yuezhou?
