After the victory of Longquanyi, the Qing army was divided into two routes, one was led by Fu An, the commander of the 6th Division of Sichuan, about 15,000 people from Luying Chuanbei Town, Chongqing Town, and Jianchang Town along the Minjiang River to attack Xuzhou, and the other 50,000 people led by Hilda personally to attack the east of Sichuan, while Sange stayed in Chengdu to ensure the rear road for the two armies.
Since the superintendent sent by Kangxi was in Chengdu, the Fu'an Ministry of Water 6 advanced at the same time, and it only took seven days to rush to Yibin City. However, the Qing army, which wanted to take over the city without blood, was rejected by the Xia defenders, and the messenger who entered the city to persuade him to surrender was beheaded to show the public, which angered Fu'an, who wanted to show himself well in front of Kangxi and then fight for a wife and son. Fu'an immediately commanded the Qing army to attack the city, but at this moment the city has been stationed in the Xia army two divisions, the strength of the two sides is almost the same, and the Xia side has a city to rely on, so the fierce battle for three days, Fu'an lost troops and did not advance an inch, had to retreat to the Neijiang line to rest.
Hilda's journey was also smooth at first, and those states and counties that rebelled against the Qing Dynasty and surrendered to Xia changed their ways, and the Qing army marched all the way to receive, but when it reached Tongliang, more and more Zheng army banners appeared in front of the Qing army. At first, Silda thought that He Qian's troops were bluffing and deliberately delaying the pace of the Qing army's march, so he didn't care, and as a result, the forward horse team composed of the three towns of Shaanxi, Ningxia, and Suzhou collided with the main force of the Zheng army in Dongpulu Town, Tongliang County.
The terrain of eastern Sichuan could not allow the Qing army horse team galloping northwest to reproduce the glory of the battle on the periphery of Chengdu, and the Qing army encountered the elite of the Xia army transferred from Hubei and followed Zheng Kezhang to fight for many years with rich experience in anti-cavalry impact, so although the Zheng army lacked enough artillery, the 3,000 horse team was still wiped out, and only a few fled back to the Qing army to report the funeral.
The bad news made Hilda wake up from the dream of recovering the whole Sichuan in World War I, and now, he has to admit that Sang's opinion is more clever, but if you buy everything, you don't buy regret medicine, and if you lose the opportunity, you will lose, and there is no possibility of recovery, so as a last resort, Hilda began to think about whether it was possible for him to defeat the Xia army in front of him again.
According to the Qing army's exploration of Ma Xian, a total of eight military flags appeared before and after the Xia army, and according to the experience of these years, Silda confirmed that there were eight Xia army divisions in front of him, and the strength was almost the same as that of Mao Hongyan's troops who were broken by him, which made Silda difficult. It must be known that Hilda originally had only 50,000 people, and he had lost 3,000 horses before, so the strength was actually almost the same as that of the Xia army, and the battle of Longquanyi made the Qing army understand the tenacity of the Xia army.
The eastern route could not be fought, and there were small setbacks on the southern route, so Hilda could only continue to choose the path of armed confrontation, and at the same time asked the Qing court to increase the cost again, so that he could hurt people with his own heart. Like Silda's choice, He Qian, who knew that if he lost again, he would lose the fortunes of the Chinese Dynasty, was unwilling to risk fighting a battle with half a chance of winning or losing, so the shape of the river suddenly calmed down after the high tide. Of course, this kind of calm is only an illusion, and both sides are mobilizing troops, and in the near future, a major war will inevitably be fought in Sichuan that will determine the strength of both sides.
Speaking of which, there is a difference in the mobilization ability of the two sides in Qingxia and Xia. Because the main forces of the Xia side were concentrated along the Yangtze River, they could lightly transfer troops to Sichuan, while the Qing court could only mobilize forces in the corner of Shaanxi and Gansu because of the blockage of Guanshan.
Shaanxi and Gansu have always been the area where the Qing army concentrated heavy troops, and the highest peak garrison once reached 100,000, but it was heavily damaged in the battle with the Western Jungar army, and although it was restored thereafter, it was never able to recover to its full heyday because of the embarrassment of the Qing court's financial resources, and it was only able to maintain less than 70,000 people before Hilda attacked Chongqing.
Under the city of Chongqing, in order to deal with possible crises, Sildarton has transferred 30,000 troops and horses from Shaanxi and Gansu into Sichuan. Due to the vast area of Shaanxi and Gansu, and the threat of the two Mongols of Junggar and Weitra in the northwest and west, and the need to deter the banners of Moxi Mongolia in the north, and to prevent the uprising of the Han Hui and other ethnic groups internally, Wu He, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, had nothing to draw and adjust, and tried his best to piece together the five major armies to aid Sichuan again.
However, although the Qing court could not afford to devote more troops to Sichuan, it could exert pressure elsewhere to contain the Xia army's movements. No, Zheng Kezhang had just cut off the secret negotiations between the Qing and Xia on the front foot, and Kangxi, who was in Beijing, had already mobilized nearly 100,000 Qing troops from Kaifeng, Luoyang and other places to press Nanyang.
In the face of an imminent battle, Zheng Kezhang immediately responded, and he ordered two divisions from Guangdong and southern Jiangxi to rush to Nanyang at night; The 3rd Division of the Longxiang Army, which was temporarily stationed in Hunan, was transferred to eastern Sichuan; At the same time, the Xia Ting Privy Council also drew four divisions from Jianghuai, which had a low probability of a major war, and sent them to Sichuan; In order to prevent the Qing army from attacking the east and the west, another division of the Jiangnan garrison and the second division of the Longxiang Army under the command of the Dongyang Naval Division were transferred north to Jianghuai to fill the defense
On March 28, the second year of Wucheng and the thirty-ninth year of Kangxi, the Qing army in Luoyang and Kaifeng met in Xuzhou. In view of the fact that Chenzhou, Ruzhou, Runing and other places on the southern front were already barren, the military rations were not suitable for local supply, and the army was inconvenient for transportation and transportation, so the general of Zhengnan, the prince of Xian, who commanded the Qing army, decided to attack Nanyang from Fangcheng Pass.
On the seventh day of the fourth month, the Qing army of 10,000 people attacked Xiangcheng, and after winning without a fight, they divided their troops to attack Yexian, Wuyang, and Lushan, but they were stubbornly resisted by a small group of Xia troops in the three places. The three counties were small, and the Xia army had been reformed to thicken the city defenses and set up fortresses in the city, so although the defenders in each county were no more than one brigade, the Qing army could not capture them immediately. As a last resort, Dan Zhen could only leave one town to besiege and leave 10,000 people to maintain the grain route, and the main force of 70,000 went straight to the line of Fangcheng and Nanyang.
The Qing army was killed under Fangcheng, and at this time, the Xia army was also ready to come out as a whole. As the privy councillor of the privy council, he was transferred to the position of general Yulin and the general army of Huguang, and the Bosun Youlao of Liyang County, who chose the first brigade to defend Fangcheng and the first brigade to guard Nanyang, and the first brigade to garrison Bauhinia Pass to prevent the Ganshan Qing army, and the remaining ten divisions set up camp outside Fangcheng City to face the Qing army's tactics head-on, so they formed a confrontation with the Qing army.
The general of Zhengnan and Prince Xian, Danzhen, made a precedent decision to attack the Xia military camp with the precedent of Lushan and Yexian. However, the Manchurian generals, who had experience in the battle of Shatou, tried their best to dissuade them, claiming that this was a trick of the Xia army, intended to consume the strength of the Qing army. Dan Zhen, who lacked experience in the army, could not make a decision because of this, so he could only sit and wait for the Zheng army to go out of the field.
But how could the Xia army go to war with insufficient troops? So the two sides once again fell into a strange circle of confrontation.
Later, although the Qing army spent a lot of effort to break through Lushan, the reinforcements transferred by the Xia army from Guangdong and southern Jiangxi also arrived one after another, and the Qing army's strength advantage did not increase but decreased, and it was impossible to fight.
At this time, the grain route of the Qing army had problems again. The Huainan General of the Xia Army, the deputy general of Mingde, and the Zixi Daping of Pingle County sent the first division of the Hussar Army to attack from Xixian County, crossed the flooded Huai River, broke through the vast no-man's land, appeared in the rear of the Qing army, and used the mobile advantage of the horse team to break several grain transportation teams of the Qing army one after another, making it difficult for the Qing army to take care of the tail.
Although the Qing army also continued to transfer troops from Xuzhou and even Shandong, the main force of the Gyeonggi Army was pinned down by the frequent appearance of the Xia army's naval division in Bohai Bay. Seeing that it was no longer possible to bargain on the Nanyang front, and fearing that the war would exacerbate the financial crisis of the Qing court, Kangxi finally ordered the Qing troops on the Nanyang front to withdraw to Kaifeng and Luoyang.
On 14 May, after more than a month of confrontation on the Fangcheng front, there was no sound of soldiers, and the Qing army abandoned Lushan, Xiangcheng and other places, and then abandoned Jiaxian, Yuzhou, and Linying. Sun Youlao, who undertook the task of blocking the enemy rather than destroying the enemy, did not pursue out of caution, but only sent the Qing army out of the Xia realm, and then the Xia army returned to Nanyang to return to the camp to rest. As a result, the focus of both sides returned to Kawanaka.
"My lord, now that the Jianghuai reinforcements have arrived, and the artillery and armaments of the divisions stranded in Kuidong have all arrived, it can be said that our army has the strength to overwhelm the Qing captives for the first time in Sichuan. In Hechuan City, Huang Jin, a second-class officer of the Privy Council, asked He Qian to fight in a sincere tone, as a soldier, of course he knew the truth of the crockpot well, but as Liu Ye's classmate and friend, he was also born in the Jiayin period, and he was already ready to retaliate. "My lord, give the order to send troops!"
Huang Jin's words caused a chorus in the room, and Xia Jun had not suffered such heavy losses since he swept through South China, so that the eyes of the generals were bloody.
He Qian swept everyone in the house, and he turned a blind eye to the anger of several army commanders and officers, but more than a dozen commanders sitting in the first row also had similar reactions, so he couldn't help but be cautious: "Shut up!" ”
He Qian shouted: "The Holy Lord handed over the army to this official regardless of the danger in Huguang, how can this official fight at will!" ”
As soon as He Qian drank like this, the noise in the room suddenly became quieter, so He Qian took the opportunity to ask: "How is the training of the Ming army and the local recruits who have been dispersed and reorganized?" ”
Huang Boming, commander of the Fourth Army of Guangwei, and other six commanders expressed their attitudes one after another: "After training for three months, I will generally be able to go to the battlefield. ”
The people below swore an oath, but He Qian obviously didn't have much hope for these recruits, so he replied lightly: "In this way, I hope that when the time comes, it will be considered a success." ”
He Gan's words made several commanders blush, and they made up their minds one by one to manipulate these recruits after they went back.
Fortunately, He Qian only clicked to the point, and then he thought about it and asked Zhang Yang, a first-class staff officer of the Privy Council in charge of espionage, "Have you checked the strength of the Qing Prisoner?" ”
"If you go back to your lordship, in the past few months, the cavalry teams of various divisions led by the official commander have fought fiercely with the Qing prisoner's exploration horses dozens of times, and the Qing prisoner's troops have been initially dispatched." The second lieutenant replied. "As long as the Qing army does not increase further, I can guarantee that the number of Qing troops is less than 100,000." Zhang Yang paused and explained further. "Among them, the old foundation of the green flag soldiers in Shaanxi, Gansu and Sichuanzhong is only 60,000, and the extra tens of thousands are also recruited on the spot like the recruits of our army."
"Our army now has 16 divisions and 90,000 soldiers and horses, and the Qing captives are considered 100,000, but there is not much difference." He Qian muttered to himself. "If you cut it out, that's 65,000 against 60,000, this battle is sinister." He Qian shook his head when he said this. "It's not impossible to fight, but if you want to win, you have to make another move"
