No. 156 Offensive and defensive plan (1)

After the prisoner sacrifice ceremony, Zhu Youlang summoned the sailor to control Yu Longmian Jun to discuss secretly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Your Majesty, Fubo Town has commanded Yu Long!" The head of the Jietang Gate said loudly.

"Come in!"

"Your Majesty!"

In front of the emperor, Yu Long knelt on one knee, clenched his left hand into a fist and hugged his chest, and gave a military salute generously.

"Flat, sit!"

Zhu Youlang pointed to the chair in front of the table and asked Yu Long to sit down.

"Do you know why I called you?"

Yu Long shook his head slightly: "I don't know, please make it clear to Your Majesty!" ”

"I plan to assign two important tasks to your more than 10,000 sailors. One of them: support Nanchang, Jiangxi! ”

"Nanchang?"

"Hmmm! Nanchang is something to rush, you see," Zhu Youlang nodded to a huge map hanging behind him, and said: "Jiangnan is now in the hands of the Tartars, the three reverses are in Yuezhou, Hubei, and Nanchang, Jiangxi is in our hands." Nanchang is like a thorn, poking hard at the waist and abdomen of the tartar.

In the battle of Changde, the two generals Gao and Li Er defended and attacked, and ate nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses of the Eight Banners of the Tartar Han and the Green Battalion in one go. Dolgon, old treacherous and slippery, can he not see it? What must be followed is a crazy counterattack!

After entering the customs, they played all the way, and in just three years, they won most of the rivers and mountains in the Central Plains. Victory is easy to be arrogant, defeat is easy to discourage, Dolgon thought that the world was invincible, so he made three harsh policies of enclosure, escape, and shaving hair, causing chaos in the world.

Since Jin Shenghuan, Li Chengdong and others have been reversed, Jiang Xiang, the general soldier of Datong Town in the north, has also rebelled, and now the north ruled by the Tatars is not even stable in the Gyeonggi region, and the tens of thousands of Manchu and Mongolian main soldiers and horses of the Manchu chief Dolgon in Gyeonggi will not dare to act rashly anymore;

According to the report, Ganzhou was besieged by Jin and Li for several months, the city was full of hunger, and the city was already broken, King Lu had just won a few battles in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the rest of the Zheng family also took advantage of the situation to attack the Quanzhou area, and the army of 20,000 or 30,000 Jin Li was also trapped in Fujian and could not get out, and was unable to attack Guangdong; The three reverses are in Huguang, and across Jiangxi, the whip is beyond reach!

Jiangxi's belonging can be said to affect the overall situation in the south, and the Manchu chief Dolgon can't help but consider the safety of Jiangnan, and the main force of Manchu and Mongolia sent by him must be doing everything possible to take Nanchang at this moment! Capture Jiangxi! In order to win the initiative in the Southern War!

So the pass is in Nanchang! Nanchang withstood it, so we can calmly fight back in Huguang, but I look at Jin Shenghuan, a family slave with three surnames, although it is anyway, it is also a last resort, it may not be a little solid, the pressure is too great, I am afraid that there will be variables. Fortunately, there is Zhangshui in Nanchang through Poyang Lake, connected with the river, Poyang Lake is deep, warships can enter and exit calmly, although Zhangshui is slightly shallow, but the long dragon and fast crab of two or three hundred materials can still enter and exit freely.

Therefore, one of the purposes of sending you to Jiangxi is to support Nanchang when it is tight. ”

"Hmm!"

"However, the terrain of Nanchang is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the main force of Tartar Manmeng is good at field warfare and not good at attacking the city, plus the weather is hot, the combat power must have declined seriously, and Jin Shenghuan's city also has more than 50,000 soldiers and horses, and the troops are not overstretched, and this battle is only afraid that it will take some time.

Nanchang is surrounded by water on three sides, you break through the waterway into the city, and first send some life-saving food, artillery, and ammunition to Jin Shenghuan.

I have collected 50,000 stone of grain and dozens of large and small artillery pieces in the treasury of the three provinces, which is enough for Jin Shenghuan to support another year and a half! (In fact, in the history of the previous life, because of the chaos and disorder within the Southern Ming Dynasty, they were unable to support Nanchang, Jiangxi, but even so, Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren still held out for more than eight months under the siege of 100,000 Qing troops, and were only broken into the city by the Qing army after they ran out of ammunition and food.) This time, just in time for the summer harvest, the grain can be collected on the spot in the unconquered state capitals of Jiangxi, so there is no need to bring too much grain. If you bring more, you will give it to Li Chengdong's department to replenish the grain, grass and military supplies of his department.

However, Nanchang is far away from Liangguang, and it is not easy to supply ordnance, so ammunition must be prepared, and spare artillery and bird guns must also be kept properly.

In addition to supporting Nanchang, this trip also needs to support Jiujiang, Jiujiang is surrounded by a dense water network, close to the Yangtze River, only Liu Wenxiu and Wang Deren left a total of about 15,000 land divisions, without the assistance of water divisions, the results of the battle are difficult to expand, and when Qing arrives in Jiujiang, he will cooperate with Liu Wenxiu, water and land together, waiting for the opportunity to cut off the grain route of 100,000 Qing troops going south.

The war is fought with money and grain, and as soon as the grain road is broken, it is the lifeblood of the main army of the Tartars. The Tartars will inevitably panic up and down, and when the time comes, they will have to divide troops to obstruct it, and the pressure on Nanchang will inevitably be greatly reduced, and after Li Chengdong's troops capture Ganzhou, they will send troops to support Nanchang, and maybe they will be able to help Jin and Wang relieve the siege.

Therefore, Aiqing has a great responsibility to go to Jiangxi, the distance is long, and the contact is inconvenient, so everything must be prepared!

That's what I mean, Aiqing went back to convene the Sailor Military Academy, and discussed how to complete the task, and drew up a rough idea first, so as not to panic temporarily, if there is any need, just tell me! I can't refuse it! ”

"Obey the holy will."

After Yu Long retreated, Zhu Youlang summoned the Beijing camp generals Jiao Lian and Wu Jihei and the Shun army generals Yuan Zongdi, Hao Shaoqi and others to discuss the imperial army.

"Your Majesty!"

"What is the situation in the army? Can the defense of Yingtian Pass be properly arranged? ”

"All armies have been rested! Yingtianguan has blocked the military gate and General Li Guo and others are in the town, 30,000 troops are stationed, and Ningxiang on the west flank also has more than 10,000 troops of General Dang Shousu to defend, Changsha can be safe, and more than 45,000 soldiers in the city are high-spirited, just waiting for Your Majesty to lead them to fight with Shun and Shun! ”

As soon as the news of Li Dingguo's strong attack on Yiyang and his request for support arrived, all the generals in Changsha City shouted to take the lead, especially Yuan Zongdi and Hao Shaoqi, the rest of the Shun army, and others, with eager faces!

In the battle of Yingtianguan, Wu Jisi and Li Guobu Shunjun of Jingying grabbed the first credit, and they were collectively recorded as first-class meritorious service. In the battle of Changde, Li Dingguo and Shunjun of the Beijing camp made meritorious deeds again, while Yuan Zongdi and Hao Shaoqi and other departments only mixed a third-level meritorious service because of their effective defense, and their departments boasted of being elite, but they always pressed the rear formation, this time they were all saving up a lot of strength, and they did not want to lag behind the Jingying and Gao Li departments.

Huguang's two consecutive victories, the morale of the army and the people, and Ma Jinzhong, who lost his land and fled, was withdrawn from the camp by the head of the army, which also made Yuan and Hao Erbu secretly dispel some of the subtle thoughts, at this moment, they just want to fight with the Qing army, fight for meritorious service, and not fall behind!

After listening to the general's report, Zhu Youlang got up and pulled up the wall chart, set up the sand table, and started the military discussion with a serious face.

"Wu Aiqing, tell me about the situation on the front line in Yiyang!"

"Yes!"

Wu Jisi cautiously but uninhibitedly picked up a bamboo pole and pointed to the map: "Refuse to visit the report, on June 23, Shun Shun Kong Youde sent Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi 40,000 soldiers and horses, which have set off from Yuezhou, the purpose is directly aimed at Yiyang, and it is thought that it is to rescue the Tartars in Yiyang City.
