Chapter 128: Helping the Weak and Attacking the Strong (Ask for Collection)

Attack the Mo clan, and then you have to fight the Zheng clan again, these are two opponents. As for the attack on the Zheng family, not only will the Mo family not help, but it is estimated that they will rejoice and help vigorously. This arithmetic problem plus one equals two, Zhu Yongxing can also calculate it clearly with his feet.

Re-think of the Song Dynasty's Lianjin annihilation of Liao, resulting in the shame of Jingkang and the destruction of the Northern Song Dynasty; Later, he joined Mongolia to fight against gold, and even half of the country was also withered and scattered in Yashan. The lesson of history is that either one or two will be wiped out, or the weak will be combined to attack the strong and use strength to fight.

So, did the Ming army sweep the Zheng and Mo clans and monopolize the strength of the northern part of Annan? If the command is clever and the enemy is stupid enough, of course there is such a possibility. But whale swallowing is also a historical lesson, eating too much, it is difficult to digest, it is inevitable to use all the troops to stabilize the place. Not to mention the waste of time, how can you still send troops to support the anti-Qing uprising of Nasong in Yuanjiang?

So, how likely is it to unite Mohs to fight Zheng? Judging from the information he has so far, as well as his memory, Zhu Yongxing thinks it is completely worth a try.

When Annan Zheng and Mo faced the Chinese dynasty, they adopted pragmatism. The former annexed to the Ming Dynasty and the latter to the Qing Dynasty did not have any basic political ideas, but only to continue their rule. Compared with Zheng's ruthlessness, seeing that the defeat of the Southern Ming was imminent, he attacked the remnants of the Ming army who fled into Annan and completely fell to the Qing court. The Mo clan was more tactful, although it also expressed its sincerity to the Qing Dynasty, but it still had ties with the Nanming regime, and took in the King of Deyang of the Southern Ming Dynasty, the scholar of Wuyingdian University and the Li, and the second secretary of the military department Guo Zhiqi and others to live in Gaoping.

From this point of view, the possibility of the Ming army forming an alliance with the Mo clan is still very high. Although the Mo family is unable to compete with the Zheng family, after all, it has been entrenched in Gaoping, Taiyuan, Qixi, Langshan and other places for a long time, and there are still some supporters, but it is not useless.

If you can unite with Moh, you can not only get material supplies, but also maybe get a base to attack Guangxi without a fight. If Wu Sangui can be defeated in the Battle of Yuanjiang, or he can consider destroying the Zheng clan and directly gaining access to the sea by supporting the Houli regime or the Mo regime.

Zhu Yongxing's gaze moved over the map, and although the tourist map did not include all of Vietnam, he could see it clearly. From the Yuan River in Yunnan, it flows into the Red River, which was renamed in Vietnam, and crosses the northern part of Annam, flows through Thang Long (Hanoi), and branches into the Beibu Gulf, including Haiphong. What a port, Zhu Yongxing's eyes widened, and his saliva almost flowed out.

Don't get excited, don't get excited, it's just an idea, but it's still a possible idea. Zhu Yongxing wiped his mouth, feeling that he was too imaginative, and he should find a few people to discuss it. He settled down, lifted the curtain, and instructed the guards outside: "After camping, please invite the generals such as King Ruyang and Xuguo Gong, as well as Changshi Yicheng, to come to my camp tent, and there are military aircraft to discuss important matters." ”

Qishan Hou Wanghui, Gong'an Bo Li Rubi, Yang Wubo Xiaoyu, General Soldier Shi Wen, Deng Wanggong...... Zhang Zuochen, a scholar of Dongge University, Gong Yi, a scholar of the household department, Sun Shun, a scholar of the military department, Wan Niance, a servant of the Lang Wanniance, Liu Mi, a Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and a member of the military department, all gave Hu Xian in the matter...... During the time when Zhu Yongxing commanded the Ming army to carry out the Tengchong War, there were still many Southern Ming military generals who were pessimistic and disappointed in the future and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty one after another.

The Manchurian generals in Kunming celebrated with a crown, thinking that the overall situation had been decided, and they would be able to return to Beijing in a few days and indulge in indulgence; Wu Sangui also felt that the situation was very good, not only the soldiers who came to the four towns to suppress could now be gathered by the surrendered generals, but when the puppet clan of Tengchong was defeated, it would inevitably attract a flood of surrenderers from the Ming army, and his loyal and brave four battalions could also be established.

But Yongchang's emergency document was delivered by Pegasus, like a basin of cold water poured on his head, which extinguished the dreams of countless people at once and disrupted all the follow-up plans.

Line Guoan was beheaded, and the Han army led by him was annihilated; Daniel Zhang fled back in embarrassment, and is now seriously ill and bedridden, and most of the Ganxi Green Camp has been lost. Such a fiasco is unbelievable, how the hell did it happen? How could the broken Ming army have such combat power, and how many puppet Ming troops were still wandering around and not being wiped out?

The Manchurian generals were very depressed and angry, and they didn't know how long they would have to stay in this miasma and damp place when they saw that the squad was enjoying the soup. Wu Sangui was also shocked and panicked, and hurriedly thought of countermeasures.

Raise troops to attack again? Wu Sangui did not agree with the request of the Manchurian generals. During the rainy season, the roads are muddy and difficult to travel, and on-site supplies are not feasible, so the pressure on transportation is too great. There is also the tragic description of Daniel Zhang and others in the document, the rainy season in the border places is as terrible as hell. Miasma, mosquitoes, poisonous snakes, grasshoppers...... They are all powerful things that can take people's lives and kill people invisibly, they are everywhere and cannot be prevented.

Anyway, Daniel Zhang and the generals of the Ganshan Green Battalion mean the same thing, and it is absolutely impossible to attack Tengchong again in the rainy season.

You stay comfortable in Kunming, but let me take people to suffer desperately? Of course, Wu Sangui was dissatisfied, and he didn't want to throw the troops he had just formed into a living hell. Of course, not attacking does not mean not defending. After this defeat, the defensive forces of Yongchang, Dali, and Yao'an appeared to be weak, and it was necessary to send additional troops to firmly occupy these important places in Yunnan Province.

“…… Yunnan was initially decided, withered and unbearable, and the Tusi descended to wait and see, not to be forced, must first settle inside, but can be exterminated. The remnants of the puppet Ming army fled outside the border, the mountains and rivers were extremely dangerous and far away, and the miasma was harmful, and the frost disappeared after the fall. The rainy season is continuous, the roads are muddy and difficult to travel, and if the army moves, it is difficult to transport grain and grass. The ministers judged the situation, and the weight of the staff, it was appropriate to suspend the march. The remnants of Yunnan took advantage of the autumn harvest to prolong their breath, and tens of thousands of soldiers had to raise their strength. Outside the middle system, the remnants of the puppet Ming army can't spy on the movement to abscond, and the toast can't provoke to go wild. then hunger and rest, the odds are all up to me. When the time comes, the generals should be mobilized, the defense should be instructed, and the frost will fall after the autumn and enter the suppression, which is a long-term plan for once and for all, consolidating the internal and external suppression......"

Wu Sangui did not want to use troops on a large scale now, so he had to find a suitable reason, and he also had to take the opportunity to expand his troops and try to ask the Qing court for greater power. Turning Tengchong's defeat into a factor in his favor, Wu Sangui can be described as an old traitor with far-reaching strategies.

Needless to say, to help suppress the four towns, it is necessary to strengthen the defense of various places in Yunnan, and Wu Sangui asked the Qing court to set up the "four battalions of loyalty and bravery" and drew up the candidates for the officers of each battalion. In addition, he also demanded that civilian personnel be transferred and selected to serve in official posts in Yunnan at all levels, from the provincial to the local. In fact, Wu Sangui was in favor of Longwangshu, intending to manipulate the appointment and dismissal of military and political officials in Yunnan, thus paving the way for his goal of staying in Yunnan to Shizhen Yunnan.
