Chapter 701 Jiangnan and Jiangbei Wind Rise
In mid-April, the fighting first began in Chizhou.
After Jin Shenghuan occupied Anqing, the Qing army focused on Chizhou, that is, to prevent the Ming army from moving eastward, and prepared to use this as a foundation to counterattack Anqing and recapture this important town in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River.
The Qing army garrisoned 30,000 troops here, and the Han army strengthened the mountain and the town of Zhenjin.
Emperor Longwu personally led Jin Shenghuan, Wang Deren, Sun Shoufa and others to go on the expedition, and the impact of the emperor's personal expedition instantly made Jiangnan boil.
Although Longwu did not communicate with Wang Yan, when Longwu knew that Wang Yan did not accept his edict to fight Henan, but gathered heavy troops to live in Wuchang, there was still a certain tacit understanding between the monarch and the ministers.
Long Wu also knew that with Jiangxi's troops, it was still a little difficult to deal with Hong Chengchou, so he also acquiesced in Wang Yan's refusal to the order, and very tacitly handed over the left flank of the army to him, the former minister of the humerus.
The Ming army in Jiangxi was divided into two routes, Longwu led Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren, a total of 50,000 troops as the Chinese army, and went straight to Chizhou, Sun Shoufa led 20,000 people as the right wing, swept the Huizhou Mansion to prevent the Qing army in Zhejiang from outflanking, plus the Dai Zhifan sent by Wang Yan, which was equivalent to three ways to advance simultaneously.
The Ming army attacked Jiangnan on a large scale, and Longwu, as the Ming Emperor who reversed the unfavorable situation since the Hongguang Dynasty, still has a high prestige in the world.
As soon as the text came out and the soldiers and horses arrived, the Chinese army quickly broke through the Qing army Dazhai on the Chikou River, surrendered the counties along the way, and forced Jin Li to retreat to Guichi City, and Sun Shoufa of the right army also won the first battle.
Huizhou Mansion was originally one of the important anti-Qing bases in the south of the Yangtze River, and the military department and the right capital of the Inspectorate Yu Shi Jinsheng opposed the Qing Dynasty here, and Jiang Tianyi also insisted on it in the mountains for nearly a year, and the people's anti-Qing will was very strong.
The Son of Heaven personally conquered the people's hearts and morale, Sun Shoufa entered Huizhou Mansion, Qimen, Wuyuan, Yixian and other places broke out in succession, Sun Shoufa fought fiercely with Qing general Yang Chengzu in Xiuning for two days, and finally forced Yang Chengzu to retreat to Suining, Zhejiang.
At the same time, in the city of Shanghai, the people openly obeyed the net scarf, the government officials held the county hostage Kaicheng, the Qing general Wang Jing fled without a fight, Zheng Chenggong took advantage of the situation to occupy Shanghai, and then 30,000 horses besieged Songjiang, and Zhou Guozuo, the governor of the Qing Susong, besieged the city and defended himself, and quickly reported to Hong Chengchou.
But at this time, although there were 150,000 Qing soldiers in Jiangnan, the Ming army came in several ways, and there were many places to defend.
The Qing army was divided into two groups in the south of the Yangtze River, with Hong Chengchou to the south and Duoduo to the north.
When the fighting on the south bank of the Yangtze River was hot, the war in the north of the Yangtze River was also about to break out.
In addition to the 70,000 bandit army in Jiangbei, Duoduo added the Jiangfang battalion on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and the local green battalion garrison, his strength exceeded 100,000, but he did not dare to take it lightly.
The army of King Lu in the east of Yangzhou still posed a threat to him, and it was his old enemy Wang Yan who really made him wary.
The battle of Yang left him with a deep humiliation, so when he found out that Wang Yan had gathered more than 100,000 troops in Wuchang and could enter at any time, he withdrew his troops and horses to Yangzhou and prepared to go west to resist Wang Yan.
This time, the Ming army came in a hurry, and the emperor was angry, but the Manchu side was not fully prepared, and it was all half a catty and eight taels.
This battle is related to the national fortunes of the Ming and Qing dynasties, Qing Sheng, Dolgon is still the overlord of the world, Ming Sheng, north and south are opposed, and the offense and defense are different.
Dolgon was far away in Beijing, but he also paid close attention to the situation in Jiangnan, and issued edicts one after another, warning Duoduo, Hong Chengchou and others that this war was related to the rise and fall of the Qing Dynasty and the belonging of Jiangnan, so that the Qing army must work together to resist the enemy, and made a bunch of promises, as long as Jiangnan was held, not only high-ranking officials were Houlu, but also more than 1,000 officers of the Green Battalion would all raise the flag.
But if anyone dares to preserve their strength and do their best to communicate with the Southern Dynasties, the Qing Dynasty will definitely punish them severely.
Jiangbei, Luzhou Prefecture, Shucheng County.
After Anqing was occupied by Jin Shenghuan, the Qing army operated a stronghold in Jiangnan and Jiangbei, Jiangnan was Chizhou Prefecture, Jiangbei was the focus on Hefei City, and Shucheng was the outpost of Hefei City.
Because this pond is close to the area controlled by the Ming army, it belongs to the first line, and it has been reinforced since the second half of last year.
The whole city is three zhang high, one zhang and three feet wide, there are enemy towers and horse faces in the city, there is a moat under the city, and the sheep and horse walls are also built, and deep trenches are dug.
At the head of the city, all kinds of artillery are also relatively complete, and the only thing lacking is the lack of troops.
In order to encircle and suppress Xie Qian, Duoduo transferred many troops and horses from the Western Front, so the troops on the Western Front were relatively empty, and Shucheng was just an outpost, the role was only to warn and delay for a period of time, and in the end it could be abandoned, and if too many troops were eaten, it would not be cost-effective.
Shucheng's guard is Li Shutai of the Blue Banner, he has already done the position of deputy commander Melle at the beginning of the customs, but since the defeat of Yangzhou, he has become more and more confused, and whenever Wang Yan wins the battle, Dolgon remembers Li Shutai.
If he had been more vigilant and trapped Wang Yan to death in Yangzhou, where would the Qing Dynasty have so much trouble.
Li Shutai also said unjustly, the defeat of Yangzhou is completely the responsibility of the tower, that goods are a hundred dead, but he has to bear the responsibility of defeat, the official position is lifted again and again, there was a chance to sit on the blue flag of the solid mountain Ezhen, but now he is made into a Jialazhangjing, leading 5,300 people as cannon fodder.
As the war progressed to the fifth year, the combat power of the Eight Banners declined, and the number of bannermen decreased, which made the Manchus change their past tactics.
The composition of Shucheng's 5,300 people is basically the same as that of other cities, with the main force being 5,000 green battalion soldiers, and a positive blue banner of Niu Lu being responsible for supervising and monitoring.
The land south of the Yangtze River is turbulent, the big war is approaching, and the air is also filled with the uneasiness and heat before the storm.
Li Shutai's heart was also very worried, more than 5,000 horses made him feel uncertain, but fortunately, there were enough equipment and food in the city, which gave him a sense of security.
At this time, at the head of the city, the Qing soldiers stood by the wall, and the soldiers patrolling the city came and went, and all kinds of equipment were all over the city.
Two officers of the Green Battalion stood by the wall, leaning against the wall and chatting, one said: "I heard that the south and east sides have already started fighting, this time the south seems to be the emperor's personal conquest, and the momentum is violent, when do you say our side will hand over?" ”
The other glanced at him angrily, "You have a long idle life!" The guys are just eating with each other, why are you still looking forward to fighting? ”
The officer smiled when he heard this, and whispered, "I'm not sick in my brain, I'm worried about when Ximen will kill me, our little people are not enough to stuff the prince's teeth......
The officer was talking, but the person listening suddenly stood up straight and reminded, "Uncle Eight Banners is here." ”
The officer quickly stopped leaning against the wall and straightened up.
At this time, I saw a group of blue-armored Eight Banner soldiers patrolling over, and two generals stood by the wall, waiting for them to go away, and were about to bury a few words, when someone in the city suddenly shouted, "Enemy attack." ”
The two of them heard the alarm bell at the head of the city, and hurriedly turned around to look outside the city, only to see smoke and dust billowing from the southwest, and the flag looming, and one of them couldn't help but scold: "Zhao Wu'er, you fucking crow's mouth." ”
