"Lord Wangzhai, borrowing a treasure land from you, I can't thank you, so I will entrust the Qing family's guards and pro-army to command the position of what level of the biological empire. The latest chapter of the book is from the River of Books"

The big event has been agreed, the time of the incident has been finalized, and the owners of the village who have food in their hands have dispersed, but as a symbol of the anti-Qing alliance, Zhu Qi stayed in this camp, but since he is the king of Tang Ning and the prison of the country, Zhu Qi naturally cannot take the foundation of others at will, so the landlord in front of him got a surprise.

"Villain, no, the minister thanked the prison country for his trust, and from then on, he should protect the prison country."

Speaking of Wang Zhai, no, Wang Du's commander is one of the "thirteen families" in eastern Sichuan who is quite backward, but it is precisely the power in his hands that is too small and not enough to affect the overall situation, so that all parties in the alliance have no mustard to set up the venue here, and it is because of this that they have never thought of this "great wealth" rebirth of the political road.

"Yes, great." Zhu Qian gestured, and someone added oil and vinegar to the explanation to the command of the royal capital. "Wang Qing and Chu Qing first organized the guards left by each family and the elites in the village into a sentry, and then sent people to go down the mountain with Chu Qing to get weapons and food."

Zhu Qi's so-called guards are nominally as an offering to the heroes of the Quartet, but in fact, they are specially left by the various families who have an extra heart to avoid some of their accomplices trying to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes. However, Zhu Qi, who had no strength in his hands, didn't care about the careful thinking of each family, but instead made it his own guard and pro-army because of the situation.

Hearing that he could get weapons and food from the bottom of the mountain, Wang Du's commander was even more dizzy, and he was busy repeatedly, and then retreated with the middle-aged man who was called Chu Qing by Zhu Qi.

Seeing that the commander of the royal capital had retired, Zhu Qi gestured to the attendants, and after a while, several Jianghu characters who were specially retained by Zhu Qi appeared in front of Zhu Qi, whether it was sincere or false, these high-rollers bowed down to Zhu Qi one after another: "The ministers and others see His Royal Highness the Prison State, His Royal Highness Chitose, Chitose!" ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, please get up." Zhu Qian smiled and motioned for everyone to get up. "Ladies and gentlemen, the big event has been decided, and the secretary should have been asked to go home to prepare for the big event, but Lone saved you, and I don't know if you know Lone's intentions." Everyone shook their heads suspiciously, speaking of which, these left behind are either local gangs or folk sects, and there are people in their hands, but they are just cannon fodder when they are pulled into the battlefield, so compared to those village owners who have obtained the status of general soldiers, they are only a little unable to get on the stage with the title of deputy general. "Don't be presumptuous, in fact, each village sends troops, and the secretary and others can investigate the situation of the enemy on their behalf, each has its own division of labor, and each other is indispensable."

As soon as Zhu Qi said this, the people in the rivers and lakes present also looked good, and they boasted of themselves: "What Chitose said is extremely true, the generation of chickens and dogs and thieves is still useful, not to mention us, once something happens, we will definitely bring tens of thousands of troops to His Highness." ”

Zhu Qi smiled, although he believed in the power of the folk sect, but he didn't think that tens of thousands of untrained farmers could really succeed, and to fight, he still had to rely on real swords and guns to fight with the Qing army's "Kuidong Thirteen Families", but he would not follow the people present, but would accept their self-boasting The roaring priest of the online game Read the full text.

Therefore, after praising a few times, Zhu Qi turned to the topic: "The power of Qing and others is exactly what Gu wants to borrow, but does Qing and others think that the idea of this alliance deciding to go to the corner first and then seize Chongqing is really feasible?" ”

When it comes to military affairs, the tycoons of the rivers and lakes who have just said it are suddenly dumbfounded, and in this regard, Zhu Qian waved his hand disapplausively: "Qing waits not to say, Lone also understands that starting from the corner is actually a startling snake, once the Qing prisoners are vigilant and defend Chongqing, with more than 10,000 rabble, and there is no siege weapon, how can Chongqing be captured." ”

Zhu Qi's most proud hand in his life was to persuade Liu Ningan to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and then seize the city of Wuchang while needed, thus laying the general pattern of the Huguang battlefield. The success of the Battle of Wuchang also gave Zhu Qi the guiding ideology of war that first seized the central city and then blossomed everywhere. It cannot but be said that Zhu Qi's guiding ideology for war was in line with the war habits of the time.

"Lone has a proposition, that is, to take advantage of the fact that there is no movement in the surrounding area to seize Chongqing first."

Zhu Qi's words really caused a shock, and someone on the side asked nervously: "Your Highness's idea is very good, but Chongqing City has many high-ranking soldiers, as His Highness said, we lack artillery, how can we capture the city in one fell swoop, if the army is trapped under the fortified city, surrounded by Tartars on all sides, wouldn't the situation be even worse?" ”

"When did Lone say that he would use the army of each village to take the city." Zhu Qi looked at everyone inscrutablely. "Lonely eliminated by the lonely and all the Qing family together, captured Chongqing." As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion in the house, but seeing that Zhu Qi did not explain, he only waited for the people present to make a lot of noise before he said directly. "Just now, a Qing family said that there are many soldiers in Chongqing, Chongqing Town is transferred to the south, and North Sichuan Town is out of the east, how many soldiers are there in Chongqing City? The left is just some quick arrest officials and village bravery, and the combat power is not to be worried. ”

Saying this, everyone present looked moved, and then listened to Zhu Qi's attendant add according to Zhu Qi's meaning: "I am afraid that it is not difficult to control the errand guards guarding the city gate with the power of each family sect, as long as the city gate is in hand, the elite of the lone guard and the elite of each family sect will enter Chongqing at night, such a big thing can be decided." ”

"His Royal Highness said that there are not many soldiers in Chongqing, I'm afraid it's also a rumor," said this, the minds of the people present were more alive, but for the sake of safety, some people still proposed to be cautious about Shennong's demonic life Read the full text. "What is the real situation in the city, we have to check again and again to be sure."

"But so." Zhu Qian nodded in agreement with the statements of several people. "It's just that without further ado, the Qing and others should be verified quickly, but they don't hear of it, if the king who entered the customs first, if he can take the lead in seizing Chongqing, the Qing will be able to fight against the various families in Kuidong in the future."

Not to mention Zhu Qi's painstaking integration and dispatch of the anti-Qing forces in eastern Sichuan, Shanahai in Jingzhou City finally waited for the first batch of reinforcements. But to his surprise, the first to arrive in Jingzhou were nearly 10,000 green flag soldiers from northern Sichuan Town, while the long-awaited army from the south of Nertu Town was unexpectedly late.

However, since the town of Sichuan arrived in Jingzhou, there were more than 20,000 people in Shanahuzhong, although it was not enough to confront the more than 35,000 Zheng army, but there was no need to be trapped in Jingzhou City and sit back and watch Zheng Jun's civil engineering projects in Shatou City. So, after weighing, Shana called down 3,000 banner soldiers and 4,000 reinforcements from Sichuan, led the remaining 15,000 people out of Jingzhou City, and set up another battalion outside the Jiulong Bridge in the east of the city as a horn to threaten the construction of Zheng's army.

However, Zheng Kezang turned a deaf ear to the actions of the Shana Sea, and except for a few troops left to guard against the possible movements of the Qing army, the rest of the troops and the 4,000 new annexed troops were converted into engineers, and a number of trenches and several low walls were built under the nose of the Qing army. Of course, because the Qing army was still in front of them, the Zheng army did not cement all the low walls, but only used concrete to build a number of horse faces (shooting platforms), and most of the rest of the low walls were just rammed earth coated with a layer of cement.

On 11 June, more than half a month after Zheng's army arrived in Jingzhou, Nertu's army finally appeared northeast of Jingzhou.

"What kind of battle is this?" Listening to the sound of the trumpet of the Qing army, many Zheng officers and soldiers looked at each other. "I know that I have been digging in the ground all day, this is good, the Tartar reinforcements have arrived again, it is estimated that there will be 80,000 if not 100,000, this Jingzhou is afraid that it will not be able to take it." If you express disappointment with the battle situation, it is just that, and all kinds of gossip are still circulating in the army. "Have you heard, let's not fight because the king is sick"

"What nonsense, when did the king get sick." It is the most outrageous to say that Zheng Kezhang is sick. "I heard that the king met a fairy-looking woman on the way to the army, and now he is very favored, and he doesn't want to fight."

"Your Majesty, there are now rumors in the army, and the morale of the army is turbulent, and the latest chapter of the all-out war of the resurgence of the empire." The rumors spread more and more widely, and the more outrageous they became, and they quickly reached the ears of the division-level commanders from the bottom up, although they knew Zheng Kezang's arrangement, but many commanders expressed anxiety. "The ministers think that it is possible to convey the king's intentions, or to appease the dissatisfaction in the army."

"Passing on the battle strategy now?" Zheng Kezhang smiled playfully. "I'm afraid there are a lot of people who have escaped from the new annex army in the past few days, but do you want to tell SΓΉ Nertu about Lone's strategy?" Zheng Kezhang looked at the terrified generals and smiled coldly. "Besides, can the soldiers accept the strategy now? Instead of causing chaos, it is better to say that Gu had already expected that the Qing army would send more reinforcements. ”

The eyes of the few commanders who stood down lit up, this is a method, or it can be misinterpreted as Zheng Kezang's wise and unpredictable prophet, in order to avoid being attacked by the Qing army inside and outside when attacking the city, he deliberately led it to be annihilated in one fell swoop.

"In addition, Gu will be inspecting the camps in the next few days, so let's make arrangements."

This is also a way to boost morale, I think those Zheng Army veterans will definitely take the initiative to help refute the rumors when they see Zheng Kezang appear, but even so, the hidden danger has not been completely solved: "Your Majesty, should the new attached army be wary of it." ”

"Beware?" Zheng Kezhang touched the short beard on his chin. "Cao Zhongying's battalion officers and subordinates may return to the Qing camp again?" This is reasonable, for Cao Zhongying and others, the Qing court obviously hates them to the core, since there is no possibility of turning back, they can only follow Zheng Fan all the way to the black. "Someone, go and tell General Cao, there are many rumors in the army now, but Lone still trusts him very much, knowing that he must be able to properly restrain the new annexed army." The attendant was ordered to withdraw, and Zheng Kezhang looked at the generals in front of him. "Zhuqing, this battle is very critical, the Qing captives should use all their strength, although our army has a way out, but a slight mistake is also a situation from which it will never recover, so the Qing and others must not relax, and go to restrain the troops."

"Your Ministers understand." Several commanders bowed their orders and left.

Zheng Kezhang slowly walked out of the military tent, looked at the cloudy sky, and shook his head: "The wind and rain are coming!" ”
