Chapter 492: Ren Siqi's decision

Since the retreat from Wuhu in May, the Qing army under Azig has been staying in Jiujiang, probably because the climate is hot in the summer, and there has been no movement. Ren Siqi sneered and passed the note to everyone present. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Azig is finally going to send troops to attack Fujian with all his might!" Li Yanzhi said with a solemn expression.

In another time and space, the Manchu army was led by Belebolo from Zhejiang to Fujian, and Emperor Longwu was chased and killed by the Qing army in Tingzhou Mansion when he fled to Ganzhou. And now the Manchu Qing Dynasty has been driven out of Nanjing, and the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions are still in the hands of the Ming army, and the direction of the Qing army's march can only enter Fujian from Jiangxi.

"Fujian peaks and ridges towering, hills and hills, there are Wuyi Mountains to cut off the neighboring provinces, the Qing army attack path is nothing more than three, one is from southern Jiangxi such as Tingzhou, straight to Yanping Fuzhou, the other is Jianchang Mansion into the gloss, although the luster is known as nine passes and thirteen passes separated from Jiangxi, but can not block the way of the Qing army at all, as long as it breaks into the glossy county, you can go straight to Fuzhou along the Jianjiang River along the Xixi River Valley. The third is to enter Kou from Xianxia Pass in the north, and go south from Jianning Mansion to Fuzhou through Yanping. Zhang Huangyan analyzed to everyone that if he was familiar with the terrain of the southeastern provinces, no one present could compare with him.

"Xianxia Pass?" Ren Si moved in unison, and in his memory, it seemed that the Qing army in history seemed to enter the Qing Dynasty from here, and Zheng Zhi, who had already decided to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, withdrew the defenders of Xianxia Pass, which made the Qing army drive straight in and easily eliminate the Longwu court.

"Xianxia Pass is located on the Xianxia Ridge, which was originally under the jurisdiction of Quzhou Prefecture in Zhejiang, and is now garrisoned by Zheng Zhilong's army." Anthony, the director of the Enemy Intelligence Division, introduced to the crowd.

"Will the Qing army enter the Kou from Xianxialing?" Ren Siqi asked suddenly.

"No, Xianxialing is in Zhejiang, not far from our Huizhou, we have heavy troops in Huizhou, do the Qing soldiers have such courage?" Li Yanzhi said in amazement.

No? Ren Siqi sneered, the Qing army should not have been, but if Zheng Zhilong decided to surrender like in history, it would be uncertain. But now that he has captured Nanjing, the situation in Nanming is very different from history, will Zheng Zhilong surrender easily?

"The Qing army is most likely to attack Jianchang Mansion on the middle road, which is the closest to Yanping Fuzhou, and there is the same river valley, so it is extremely convenient to march." Zhang Huangyan also agreed with Li Yanzhi's analysis.

"Lord Wang, since the Qing army has moved, we must also determine whether to send troops." Zhang Huang said.

After Zhang Huangyan's analysis of the "potential" just now, everyone present had no objection to sending troops, but most of them were still reluctant to save Emperor Longwu.

"Lord Wang, I also agree to send troops," After a short period of thought, Li Yanzhi put forward his opinion to Ren Siqi: "Since Azig is heading south from Jiujiang, Jiujiang will inevitably be empty of troops, so let's just take advantage of the situation to send troops to Jiujiang, and then attack Wuchang, and bring the entire Huguang under the rule of the Chongming army." In this way, even if Azig defeated Fujian and destroyed the Longwu Imperial Court, his rear is also in our hands, cutting off his retreat to see how long he can jump! ”

"Great idea!" Shen Tingyang couldn't help but admire, there is no problem in fighting and winning with reality!

"Not bad, not bad." Even Yan Ermei, who didn't know much about military affairs, thought it was a very good idea.

"What does Nagoro think?" Li Yanzhi looked at Zhang Huangyan proudly.

"The Privy Counsellor is a good plan!" Regarding Li Yanzhi's plan, Zhang Huangyan couldn't jump out of the problem: "This is a plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao, Azig's back road is attacked, and he will inevitably return, so that the crisis of the Longwu court can be solved, if Azig doesn't return, we can take advantage of the situation to take Jiujiang Wuchang and cut off his back road!" ”

Ren Siqi bowed slightly, appreciating Li Yanzhi's strategy, but would things really be so simple? Azig dared to raise troops to go south, didn't he worry about the back road? Ren Siqi instinctively felt that Jiujiang could not be easily captured, maybe the Qing army had some conspiracy inside!

When it was time to make up their minds, everyone looked at Ren Siqi, waiting for him to give the final order.

"Order Li Yanzhi to be the commander-in-chief," Ren Siqi's words made Li Yanzhi extremely surprised, finally, can he finally lead the troops to the battle?

"Order Li Yanzhi to be the commander-in-chief, lead 5,000 people in Shaqianli Town, allocate another 20,000 recruits, take 500 large and small warships, together with the sailor Xue Yulai, go up the river and feint to attack Jiujiang!" Ren Siqi's next words made Li Yanzhi stunned.

Feint? Why feints? Isn't it time to attack Jiujiang?

"I led 15,000 people from the three towns of Yang Ding, Chen Mingyang, and Jin Yufei, as well as 5,000 troops from Bu Congshan and Liu Zeyong's troops, together with the ironclad battalion, from Nanjing to the south, straight to Xianxia Pass, and the Qing soldiers will hunt and Fujian, and rescue the Longwu court!" Ren Siqi's next words surprised everyone present.

Rescue, rescue the Longwu Imperial Court, isn't it to destroy him by the hands of the Qing soldiers? How fast the change is! Li Yanzhi looked at Ren Siqi in shock, not knowing what kind of words to say.

"Well, I'm afraid that's not right." Seeing that everyone was still in shock, Shen Tingyang had to speak.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Brother Xuan's words just now deeply woke me up, since my Chongming Army became an army, it has fought Qingzhou, defended Yangzhou, attacked Nanjing, and fought no less than dozens of large and small battles, even the most elite Eight Banners, how could we have been afraid. Now we have conquered Nanjing, it is the time when morale is the strongest, and it is also the time when the soldiers dare to fight the most, the current Chongming army has a wide range of fine food, weapons and equipment far above the ordinary Qing army, among our main force, the musketeers have accounted for fifty percent, and they are not afraid of the thick armor of the Eight Banners at all. And the mountains and hills of Fujian are not suitable for cavalry galloping at all, so why don't we dare to fight a hard battle with the Qing army? If we win a battle, then no one in the entire south will dare to resist our Chongming army, and who in the south will dare not obey? ”

Ren Siqi's words were sonorous and powerful, and his words were full of strong confidence, and everyone present was unconsciously infected by his words, and the blood on his body also boiled.

"The prince is right, we should have fought a tough battle with the Eight Banners a long time ago!" Anthony is Ren Siqi's die-hard loyalist, and has always obeyed Ren Siqi's words, although he is only listening on this occasion and has little room to speak, but he is still the first to stand up and loudly agree.

"Is it a bit risky? The prince is my entire Chongming force, if the army is defeated, what should I do? "Civil officials have always been cautious, and Shen Tingyang was a little hesitant about Ren Siqi's adventure.

"Defeated? I'm sure Azig won't come out with the whole army, and the Eight Banners will not enter Fujian with more than 10,000 soldiers. And we have 20,000 elite infantry, so who can leave me behind? Ren Siqi's words showed a strong self-confidence.
