Chapter 106: The Battle of Zhangzhou (3)
Zheng Chenggong sat in the right seat of the Zhangzhou Mansion and heard that Liu Guoxuan killed Wang Zhigang, the defender of Zhangzhou, and forced Zhang Shiyao and others to surrender.
Seeing that the young player in front of him was Liu Guoxuan, Zheng Chenggong was very happy.
In the middle and late period of the Ming and Zheng dynasties, the Zheng Jiajun who retreated to Taiwan was mainly supported by Wen Chen Wenhua and Wu Liu Guoxuan.
In the Battle of Tong'an, Chen Wenhua's father Chen Ding died heroically, and he is still guarding filial piety. However, even if he is filial piety, Chen Wenhua still keeps plowing and reading.
Zheng Chenggong heard Chen Wenhua's name from Lu Ruoteng, and went to talk to Chen Wenhua.
After talking, Chen Wenhua is really as talented as in history, but he is a little young, and he is still in filial piety.
After Chen Wenhua finishes his filial piety, Zheng Chenggong will begin to appoint him to handle some government affairs, preparing to cultivate him to live up to the reputation of "Zhuge Reincarnation".
Unexpectedly, now that Liu Guoxuan has also been found, Zheng Jiajun will not worry about talents in 20 years.
Zheng Chenggong was very happy and rewarded Liu Guoxuan.
Although Zheng Chenggong values Liu Guoxuan very much, he is still too young now. Zheng Chenggong was unwilling to do what Bao Miao was facilitating, and only appointed Liu Guoxuan as the governor of the capital, in charge of the affairs of guarding the town.
Liu Guoxuan was very happy when he heard that he had just come to serve as the governor, and hurriedly thanked him.
Zheng Chenggong smiled and asked them to go down to rest, looking at Liu Guoxuan's back, and fell into deep thought.
The famous civil and military generals in history, do you want to send someone to search for it? Especially those who will be loyal to the Manchu Tartars in the future should be looked for carefully.
Of course, it's best to be willing to submit to yourself, if not, then don't blame Lao Tzu for being ruthless!
Zheng Chenggong sat in his chair and tried to think about those who had left a name in history, and then think about who should be sent to the position.
……
November 14th, at the end of the day.
On the day of conquering Zhangzhou, Zheng Chenggong was a rebellious general and posted a list of Anmin. Calling on the common people and gentry to revolt against the Qing Dynasty. At the same time, a notice was issued that the prisoners who did not want to serve in the army were released to their families and reunited with their relatives.
Of course, these captives who let go were all Han Chinese, and there were not many recruits with blood on their hands.
When these soldiers were released, they were warned that they should not return to the Qing army, otherwise they would be severely punished! ”
After dealing with these troublesome government affairs, Zheng Chenggong called someone to invite Yao Qisheng and said: "Although the capture of Zhangzhou has been quite smooth so far, this is largely based on the fact that the Qing army has few soldiers and horses, and it is impossible to take precautions. Now there are seven counties in Zhangzhou Prefecture: Nanjing, Changtai, Zhangpu, Pinghe, Zhao'an, Yunxiao and Zhangping. If they hold the city, they can greatly slow down the pace of our army's offensive! And that's what I'm most afraid of! In case before the Qing army conquers Li Chengdong, our army cannot capture the entire Zhangzhou mansion and then join forces with Li Chengdong. In this battle, it is possible that the previous achievements will be wasted. At that time, not only will I miss the opportunity, but even my Zheng family army will be in danger of being destroyed! Xizhi, is there any way to solve this dilemma? ”
Yao Qisheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, the general doesn't have to worry, the capture of the seven counties is only a matter of turning hands." ”
When Zheng Chenggong heard it, he said in surprise: "Oh, Xizhi, you already have a way, come on!" ”
Yao Qisheng opened his mouth and said: "Our army quickly conquered Zhangzhou Mansion, so that there was no one caught in Zhangzhou Mansion. As long as the general sent someone to the guards of the five counties of Zhangpu, Pinghe, Zhao'an, Yunxiao, and Zhangping, they sent an emergency dispatch order stamped with the seal of the general of Zhangzhou, so that the soldiers and horses of the four counties rushed to Zhangzhou as quickly as possible to rescue. And our army can wait for work, set up an ambush in advance, and annihilate all the soldiers and horses of the four counties in one fell swoop! At that time, our army will indeed be able to quickly level the four counties without much effort! ”
After listening to Yao Qisheng's strategy, Zheng Chenggong nodded lightly. Not bad, a good ploy! It's just that......
Zheng Chenggong said with some confusion: "What about Changtai and Nanjing counties? ”
Yao Qisheng said: "In order to divert the tiger from the mountain, our army killed Changtai in a mighty way. Therefore, we can't transfer Changtai's guards. You can send someone to pretend to be a rescue army from Zhangzhou to deceive the city. And Nanjing is too close to Zhangzhou, we send garrisons to come to support, but we are afraid that they will notice it on the way, and if they retreat at that time, it will be even more troublesome to attack Nanjing. Fortunately, Nanjing should still know that Zhangzhou has been conquered by our army, and there are not many soldiers and horses. The general should now send his army to attack him unprepared, so that he can quickly occupy the city. ”
When Zheng Chenggong heard this, he immediately began to deploy troops!
Half an hour later, the five Qing soldiers who had surrendered rode fast horses towards the five counties of Zhangpu, Pinghe, Zhao'an, Yunxiao and Zhangping with an urgent dispatch order.
For the sake of safety, the families of these surrendered Qing soldiers were gathered. If they dare to cheat, then their families ......
Zheng Chenggong followed the battle plan agreed upon by Yao Qisheng, and asked the 5,000 soldiers and horses led by Gan Hui and Liu Guoxuan to disguise themselves as Qing soldiers, wear captured Qing army clothes, and go directly to defraud Changtai;
Let Huang Ting lead a thousand cavalry and three thousand infantry to attack Nanjing.
Because Zheng Chenggong easily captured Zhangzhou City, and controlled the city gate in the first time, he did not let anyone escape.
Nanjing had not yet learned of the fall of Zhangzhou, and the guards still opened the city gate as usual for the people to enter and exit.
Huang Ting, who had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, immediately ordered an attack, and the 3,000 Zheng family army, which had been lurking outside the city for more than an hour, shouted and quickly attacked in the direction of the city gate.
The defenders of Nanjing County originally had only 2,500 men, and most of them were urgently recruited recruits, who had hardly experienced any fighting.
Suddenly, seeing the Zheng family's army come out, the guards at the city gate were all at a loss and panicked.
The commander who led the troops shouted and shouted, but it had no effect at all.
When a few veterans of the Qing army with a little experience came to their senses and tried to close the city gate, Huang Ting, who was riding a handsome horse, had already rushed to the city gate.
After easily killing several Qing soldiers who tried to resist in vain, he immediately shouted angrily, and the roar like thunder frightened several Qing recruits to the ground on the spot, and the rest of the soldiers immediately lost the idea of resisting in horror, abandoned the city gate and fled.
Immediately after the next thing became extremely simple, after 3,000 Zheng Jiajun rushed into the city, the commander and the guard general of Nanjing County, who realized that the general situation had gone, wisely chose to lead the people to surrender.
At noon, the Zheng family army led by Gan Hui and Liu Guoxuan rushed to Changtai.
Liu Guoxuan stepped forward and shouted: "Brother in the city, open the city gate quickly!" We were sent by Mr. Wang to rescue Changtai! ”
When the general of Nanjing heard this, he poked his head out to look at these "Qing soldiers" under the city.
In order to confuse the Changtai guards, the army led by Gan Hui had hundreds of captured former Qing soldiers. Most of these soldiers were not wearing helmets, and their ugly pig tails were exposed.
Changtai's guards looked at those whip soldiers, and then saw that it was Liu Guoxuan, the commander of the Zhangzhou garrison, who shouted.
The Changtai guard did not suspect it, and hurriedly asked the soldiers to open the city gate and let them in.
The most critical and difficult gate of the siege was opened, and Gan Hui and Liu Guoxuan rushed in with the Zheng family's army.
When Changtai was unprepared, Gan Hui burst out and killed him with a single sword.
No one called the shots, and Changtai, who had no organization, soon fell into the hands of the Zheng family's army.
