Chapter 30 Take Yongchang lightly

Looking at the map, Zhu Yongxing, Li Dingguo, and Bai Wenxuan carefully studied and analyzed, and felt that they would be able to complete the plan in almost one month. Zhu Yongxing recalled the time when the Yuanjiang Uprising lasted in history, and estimated that Wu Sangui had almost just left Kunming at this time, and he couldn't help but feel a lot more sure in his heart.

"Your Highness." Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, seemed to have something difficult to say, and suddenly groaned for a while before he spoke: "If Western Yunnan wins, Yuanjiang can also defeat the Qing army, can our army take advantage of the victory to attack Kunming?" ”

Zhao Wang Bai Wenxuan's eyes flashed, and he looked at Zhu Yongxing thoughtfully.

Zhu Yongxing shook his head categorically without thinking, this may have been carefully thought about and analyzed, it was definitely a stupid move.

"The attack on Kunming will do more harm than good, and it is very likely that the results achieved by our army will come to naught and we will fall back into an embarrassing situation." Zhu Yongxing ignored the different expressions on the faces of Li Dingguo and Bai Wenxuan, and calmly told his judgment, "Not to mention attacking Kunming, our army is still weak, even if it can be captured by luck, can it be defended?" Kunming is a famous city with great influence, no matter who is in the hands, it needs to be heavily guarded. Trapping an army for the sake of one city and losing the ability to fight in a mobile manner outweighs the losses. ”

After a pause, Zhu Yongxing continued: "If Kunming is occupied by me, the Qing army will send troops from all over the world to seize it. If our army holds on, then it will be like the enemy of Yongchang, defend to the death, defend to the death, and finally become to defend to the death. If our army withdraws, the people of Kunming will experience another catastrophe, and the people's will will no longer be to us. If Kunming is not forcibly captured and still occupied by the Qing army, the Qing court thinks that Yunnan Province is still acceptable, and will not transfer heavy troops into Yunnan. Our army is in the west and in the south, forming an oppression on Kunming from two directions. If the enemy moves westward, our army will advance northward to suppress; If the enemy moves south, our army will advance eastward and coerce. The enemy cares about one and loses the other. If the troops are all contained in Kunming, our army will either open up another battlefield, or raise troops and store food, and advance and retreat freely. ”

Zhao Wang Bai Wenxuan smiled and praised: "His Royal Highness is a subtle analysis, and he directly ordered this king to open his mouth." ”

Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, sighed secretly in his heart. Although it is difficult for Zhu Yongxing to enter Burma to take over if he cannot capture Kunming, Zhu Yongxing's analysis and judgment are reasonable and well-founded, and he cannot continue to forcibly argue.

"If it is another remote battlefield, His Royal Highness wants to go to Guangxi, and the army of western Yunnan must be going north to Shu?" Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, did not think about the future strategic direction, after the victory of western Yunnan, if he could not capture Kunming, and was not transferred by Zhu Yongxing. There is only one way to Shu.

"In the words of King Jin, it is precisely to enter Shu for development." Zhu Yongxing nodded with a smile and said: "I have seized the land and established a foundation in Annan, why are there so many Tusi who are willing to help the soldiers to give back, why are there many soldiers who are willing to receive salary tickets, and are willing to start a family in Annan, all because of the land." Shu has experienced several wars and is sparsely populated. Is the land barren and usable? ”

Zhao Wang Bai Wenxuan stroked his palms and smiled. said: "Your Highness's strategy is far-reaching, and this king admires it. The development of Shu and the lure of the land can not only make the soldiers feel at ease, but also enable the Tusi to repay the people and increase the strength of our army to resist the Qing Dynasty. One more point. Expanding eastward in Shu can make Kunming suffer from enemies on three sides, or take the effect without fighting. ”

It is possible, but it is far away. Zhu Yongxing found that Bai Wenxuan's attitude had changed significantly, and he spoke to himself everywhere. Although he was still a little puzzled in his heart, it was something he hoped for.

Of course, Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, also noticed it, and glanced at Bai Wenxuan with a smile, with a deep meaning in his eyes.

Those who follow me will naturally be beneficial; Those who will part ways sooner or later can be allies to resist the Qing Dynasty now, and they will still have to be restrained and guarded against in the future. Zhu Yongxing's expression on his face was peaceful, but he re-evaluated and measured it in his heart.

At this time, the generals of the Ming army came to report one after another, interrupting the discussion of the three people. The three of them also put away their thoughts and listened carefully in order to provide a basis for their next actions.

Yang Shen, the commander-in-chief of the Qing army, was nowhere to be found, and according to the captives, he was probably buried in the rubble and masonry, and died when the city was broken.

There were more than 10,000 Qing troops, more than half of them were killed or wounded, and nearly 4,000 surrendered, of which nearly 3,000 were the Ganshan Green Battalion and 1,000 were the Huguang Green Battalion.

The treasury is intact and undamaged, which is the greatest good news. As for the hero, it turned out to be a Qing army commander named Ren Dahai, and he obeyed the orders of his boss Shao Mengkai. Food, gold and silver, gunpowder, weapons, armor, the seizure of these materials immediately saved Shao Mengkai's life, and it was not in vain that he came up with the method and the reserved way back.

It didn't take long for President Qianren Dahai and guerrilla Shao Mengkai to be taken to the mansion. Since they have merit, Zhu Yongxing and others treated each other kindly and comforted each other with gentle words. During the conversation, I found out that these two both participated in the battle of Tengchong, Shao Mengkai had nothing to show off, but Ren Dahai was a general who commanded the auxiliary troops to deploy the formation, and was "as immobile as a mountain". From the mouths of these two people, Zhu Yongxing and others got very detailed information: such as where Yang Shen asked for help, the time when he sent helpers, the garrison situation of the surrounding counties and towns, and so on.

"Go down and select 100 people from among the captured officers and soldiers, preferably with family members in Yongchang, and I will give them the opportunity to make meritorious contributions." Zhu Yongxing said with a smile: "In addition, your house and property will be returned, and your family will not be disturbed, so you can rest assured that you will do things in the future!" ”

"Thank you, Your Highness." Shao Mengkai and Ren Dahai gave a big gift and were taken down.

"Does Your Highness have a plan?" Zhao Wang Bai Wenxuan looked at the backs of the two generals and showed a meaningful smile.

"It's not a good idea." Zhu Yongxing smiled faintly and said, "It's just a disguise attack." I want to send a cavalry unit, all of them change into the clothes of the Qing army, and use these troops as a guide to quickly advance and seize the warehouses of the counties and towns along the way, and destroy the post stations, so that the Qing army can get accurate information as late as possible. ”

Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, nodded appreciatively and said: "The cavalry that broke through can be divided into two parts, and the first is suitable for a hundred people, mainly to destroy the post station; The back is the main force, three thousand. In this way, the Qing army that reinforces Yongchang also has the strength to fight. ”

"King Jin thinks thoughtfully, so let's arrange it like this!" Zhu Yongxing felt that Li Dingguo might have had this intention, otherwise he would not have reacted so quickly.

"Without further ado, this assault force will set off today, okay?" After receiving affirmative answers from Zhu Yongxing and Li Dingguo, Zhao Wang Bai Wenxuan immediately got up and went to arrange.

There were not many cavalry under Zhu Yongxing and Li Dingguo, and most of the horses were led to pull the cart, so the cavalry that broke through was still dominated by Bai Wenxuan's department.

Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, also got up to take his leave, and he wanted to send a thousand cavalry to join the assault force. It is impossible to attack the city, and the main force is Bai Wenxuan's troops, and this breakthrough force is also all from others. Since it is a joint operation, each family must have someone to contribute and make a strong contribution, and only then can sincere unity be demonstrated.

When the two princes left, Zhu Yongxing suddenly remembered another thing, and hurriedly sent someone to summon the personnel of the Military Intelligence Department, asking them to go to the General Military Mansion to search for seals, tokens, and letters, and called Zha Rulong.

When everything was ready, the master of counterfeiting Zha Rulong was proficient in business, and he and Zhu Yongxing discussed and wrote, and soon forged several official documents and stamped them with sealed letters, providing more favorable conditions for the mixing of the advancing troops.

Now he was finally able to relax for a while, and Zhu Yongxing was left alone in the house, and he had just come up with this thought, but he heard several female voices coming in from outside. Hehe, the beauties are here, Zhu Yongxing didn't feel annoyed, and got up with a smile to greet him.

…………….

Yongchang City was completely settled before dusk, and the wounded soldiers were taken to the Ming army camp outside the city, and the corpses were transported out of the city and buried in a large mound. Only the walls of the gap, and the dried blood stains everywhere, can still show that there was a fight here.

It was only at the beginning of the war that the people's morale was unstable, and the city imposed a curfew, and there were no pedestrians on the streets, only patrols that passed by from time to time.

In a small house, the candlelight in the house is shaking, and several people with different faces are whispering, discussing something.

"His Royal Highness Min is in the city, this is a thousand years of opportunity." A middle-aged man said in a deep voice, his face flickering by the candlelight, "If he leaves, I don't know when I will be able to see him." ”

"But we have sworn together that we will not share the sky with the Qianguo Mansion, and we will definitely ask the Mu family to repay the blood debt." A young man was very hesitant and said, "Besides, how His Royal Highness Min behaves, only listening to rumors, may not be true. ”

"His Royal Highness Min has not discriminated against the toasts, and it is also true to his words to give the people land." An old man with a face full of vicissitudes opened his half-closed eyes and said quietly: "This is not a rumor, but I saw it in Tengyue Prefecture." ”

"What about our enmity with the Mu family for generations, can we forget it, and are we worthy of our ancestors?" The young man retorted unconvinced.

"When I was young, I was blinded by hatred and stealing, and I will never find peace for the rest of my life." The old man sighed lightly and said: "The Ming Dynasty has been peaceful in Dali for more than two hundred years, and during this period of ups and downs, grievances and grievances, it is really unclear. And revenge is a small matter, but the future of our people is a big matter. ”

Unconvinced, the young man sat quietly in a puff, but was speechless to refute it.

"Elder Gao is right." A slightly shrill voice rang out, and a man stood up in the corner, his hair disheveled, his face covered in ash and mud, and something like a leprosy scar, which looked dirty and ugly.

But as soon as this person spoke, everyone else listened with dignity and respect.

"The country changes hands, like a storm, a change of dynasty, and a cycle through the ages." The shrill voice calmed down a little and echoed in everyone's ears, "The killing and persecution of whites in the Ming Dynasty was a hundred years ago, and although there is discrimination now, it has become more and more relaxed, and my family can now live in harmony with the Han people." Speaking of revenge, are you the main ones? Blue Jade is the most vicious and has been killed by the Emperor. Mu Ying, I heard that she was also given poisoned wine. If there is revenge and revenge, the old hatred and new hatred in this world come and go, when will it be over? (To be continued......)
