Li Hongfei's purpose in letting Qi Hongying capture Tongzhou was to attract the Qing army to solve the crisis in Nanjing, and as for whether there was a danger of annihilation of the whole army, Li Hongfei was not very worried about this. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Not long after the Qing army went south, this Tongzhou was only taken by the Qing army in recent months, coupled with the Yangzhou massacre, it was very close to Tongzhou, and there were even many relatives of ordinary people, who were from Yangzhou.

Therefore, the people in the vicinity have no good impression of the Qing army at all, and if the Qi family army is based on the city, with its strong firearm strike ability, coupled with the help of the people in the city, it will be no problem to withstand the hundreds of thousands of Qing troops for a month or two.

If the Qing army is full of encirclement and suppression of the Qi army, naturally there is no way to pose a threat to Nanjing, when the army of the king of all walks of life gathers, it can take advantage of the situation to fight into Jiangbei, not only to relieve the siege of Nanjing, but also to rescue the Qi army, and even take advantage of this northern expedition to recapture Yangzhou and other places, which can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone.

Qi Hongying took the initiative to attack and led an army of 50,000 to attack Tongzhou, while on the Manchu side, Duoduo divided an army of 100,000 after discussing with Azig, and together with Azig's army on the Western Road, marched to Dangtu County.

Since then, Duoduo has led an army of 300,000 to the south, although he has lost more than 100,000 troops in successive battles, but he has also recruited similar surrendered troops from all over the country, in addition to the defenders of various states and counties, and the 100,000 army distributed to Azig, Duoduo himself has an army of 130,000.

Leaving 30,000 troops to guard Yangzhou, Duoduo personally led an army of 100,000 and headed towards Tongzhou.

In addition, more than 400 warships of the Qing army's naval division also attacked together, preparing to block Qi Hongying's retreat.

From the current point of view, Li Hongfei's plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao seems to be very successful...........

Duoduo's "middle plan" is a happy thing, but what makes Li Hongfei most happy is that he was actually promoted again.

That's right, after Li Hongfei met Zhu Youzhen, under the strong recommendation of Shi Kefa, Li Hongfei was temporarily promoted to the governor of defense in Nanzhili, with full responsibility for the Nanjing war.

In the early Ming Dynasty, officials such as Shangshu, Shilang, and Du Yushi were often sent to the local area to pacify the military and civilians, or to be in charge of military affairs, and to return to life after the matter was completed, and the name was either called the governor or the town guard.

Later, the town guard and the patrol according to the imperial history are not subordinate, and it is inconvenient to move back and forth, so it is set as the governor of the imperial history of the capital, and the name of the commander of military affairs.

The Governor shall be the Governor of the Governor, and the Governor shall be the Governor of the Governor's Office, supplemented by the Governor of Military Affairs.

Local governors are mostly set up for border defense or suppression of the people, and the military affairs of the areas under their jurisdiction are the main ones.

Li Hongfei, the governor of national defense, was set up because of the war in Nanjing, and while the prime minister was in military affairs, he could also intervene in civil affairs, but everything related to the war was under his control.

Its responsibilities are similar to the previous position of Shi Kefa Inspector, not an official position in the Ming Dynasty, generally used for wartime appointments, and when the war is over, the position is automatically relieved, somewhat similar to the commander-in-chief of the theater in later generations.

The reason why Shi Kefa is called a supervisor is because he belongs to a civilian official and is a secretary of the military department, and Li Hongfei is only a local official, and he can only hang the rank of general soldier and belong to the military general, so he is automatically classified as a governor.

Li Hongfei's rocket-like promotion speed is mainly due to Qi Hongying and Shi Kefa.

When Qi Hongying escorted Li Shutai and other captives to face the saint before, he had said good things for Li Hongfei, saying that this time he could break the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and Li Hongfei's military training method and new weapons were indispensable.

So at the moment of crisis in Nanjing, Zhu Youzhen added the rank of Li Hongfei's chief soldier, which was regarded as a reward.

Later, Shi Kefa returned to Beijing to resume his life, knowing that he was not suitable for leading troops, so he dismissed the post of superintendent of Nanjing, and recommended Li Hongfei to be the governor of Nanjing's city defense.

Now the reinforcements in the city, half of them are Li Hongfei's subordinates, Wang Guoxing has a few catties and a few taels Zhu Youzhen is clear in his heart, if he lets others command blindly, Zhu Youzhen is not at ease, so he simply pushes the boat down the river and hands over the heavy task to Li Hongfei.

He also wanted to see if this "immortal" had really recovered his "mana" after nearly a year.

Regarding the deeds of Li Hongfei's 500 new army and 50,000 Qing troops, Zhu Youzhen prefers to believe that it was this "immortal" who cast a spell, so when the two met, Zhu Youzhen stared at Li Hongfei with a pair of big watery eyes from time to time, and Li Hongfei's heart was furious.

"I used to hear people say: the opposite sex is for the inheritance, and the same sex is true love. This Zhu Youzhen is also the king of a country, but he is not very beautiful, is it difficult to ..........." Li Hongfei became more and more stunned the more he thought about it, and secretly decided that in the future, unless necessary, he would not come to the palace to be killed.

At this moment, Wang Guoxing, who was leading the way in front, suddenly stopped and said, "See the princess." ”

Li Hongfei was distracted, and he didn't hear Wang Guoxing say anything, so he just walked forward by himself.

"Bold, Her Royal Highness the princess is here, and she still hasn't come to greet her!" The princess didn't speak, but the palace maids around her couldn't see it.

A crisp and pleasant voice finally pulled Li Hongfei back from his thoughts.

"I'm sorry, I was thinking about things just now, and I was a little distracted." Li Hongfei lowered his head and responded.

He didn't hear the previous words, but seeing that Wang Guoxing was also respectful, he naturally knew that the person opposite was not small, this was the palace, and there was a huge background, maybe it was Zhu Youzhen's woman, Li Hongfei was not stupid, he wouldn't aim randomly.

"Dressed strangely, say, what are you, why haven't I seen you before?" The palace maid does not give up.

Li Hongfei was wearing a new-style military uniform, and the people in the palace had naturally never seen it.

"Princess Qiyu, this is Li Menghui, Lord Li, this time I made a special trip from Suzhou to lead the army to King Qin, the governor of Nanjing military affairs, I have never entered the palace before, so I don't understand the rules of the palace, and I ask the princess to forgive me." Wang Guoxing explained.

"It turned out to be General Li, presumably General Fang Cai was worried about military affairs, how could this palace be blamed."

A hoarse and slightly sad voice sounded, and it was the voice of the princess herself.

Li Hongfei just heard the word "princess", and he knew that he was thinking about it, and now he heard such a "weird" voice again, and finally couldn't help but raise his head.

The princess in front of her, wearing a light blue skirt, long hair hanging down the shoulders, tied with a water blue fine silk, the hosta is lightly pulled, the tip of the hairpin hangs down like a small chain of water droplets, a slight shake is like rain, the best silk material moves slightly with the wind, like the first bloom of the light plum, not luxurious but quiet.

The princess is about fifteen or sixteen years old, and it stands to reason that she should be in her youth and full of vitality, but her expression is warm, but there is a faint haggard color, which makes the whole person look as if she has experienced the vicissitudes of the world, without the innocence of the girl.

"Who is this princess?" After saying goodbye, the fire of Li Hongfei's gossip began to burn.

"Who else can there be, the second daughter of the current saint, Princess Changping." Wang Guoxing replied.

"Princess Changping? It's not that her left arm is ..........," Li Hongfei was surprised.

At the beginning, he felt that the previous one was Princess Changping, but after some observation, he found that the other party's left arm was not broken, so he asked Wang Guoxing for verification, but he didn't expect it to be Changping.

"Shhhh Don't talk about this everywhere, the princess's arm is not broken, but it hurts the meridians, and her left hand will not be able to exert force in the future. Wang Guoxing explained.

This is related to the royal secret, if it weren't for Li Hongfei being an "immortal", and knowing about it, Wang Guoxing really wouldn't dare to reveal this.

"Okay, okay, do you think I'm the kind of person who talks nonsense? By the way, it's important to get down to business, take me to see your Praetorian Guard, and I'll arrange the garrison. Li Hongfei changed the subject.

Since he was the governor of Nanjing, Li Hongfei had to understand all the armies in order to facilitate wartime mobilization.
