Chapter 107: The Northern Expedition and the Eastern Expedition
Above the lobby of the governor's yamen, Shi Dakai sat upright steadily, at this time he was only twenty-one years old, and his sword eyebrows and starry eyes were extremely handsome, and everyone bowed slightly when they heard his words.
Xiao Yungui saw a burst of jealousy in his heart, pursed his lips and scolded secretly: "Little black face!" Shameless! Then he turned around and saw that Hong Yun'er's eyes were full of reverence behind him, and he looked at Shi Dafa in a daze, and his heart was even more annoyed, and he scolded secretly: "Nympho face, let alone shameless!"
I only heard Shi Dakai continue: "Jiangnan is established, we can be like what the outline brothers said, three ways out of the division, one out of Hunan Chu, one out of Hanzhong, one out of Xu, Yang, the three ways army swept the world, will hunt Yandu, go straight to the Qing demon old cave, since then we can reproduce the Ming ancestor expelled the grand event of Hu Nu, and return the poor people in the world to a bright and prosperous world!" ”
Before the words fell, everyone cheered, and Luo Xuan nodded at Shi Dakai gratefully, thanking him for agreeing with his proposal.
Xiao Yungui remained silent, he knew that whoever spoke out at this time would most likely be said by the leader, who suggested who would do it, so he still sat honestly and kept silent, because until now Yang Xiuqing just said that he would discuss the policy of the nine southern provinces, what did the old fox think in his heart, he still couldn't see through, so Xiao Yungui planned to strike later, plan and then act.
Yang Xiuqing frowned slightly, her face still looked like a bitter gourd face, waved her hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then looked at Wei Changhui, the king of the north, and said, "King of the north, what do you think?" Yang Xiuqing doesn't seem to think highly of Wei Changhui all along, and his title to him is not as kind as that of other kings.
Wei Changhui smiled slightly, touched the eight-character mustache and said: "What the big brother said is very good, relying on Changsha City, defending the west and south, attacking the east and north, going down to Wuchang and Nanchang, entering Jinling, Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the east, occupying the three provinces of Jiangxi, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, cutting off the Qing demon Cao Yun, and then going south to Fujian, Guangdong and Guizhou, and then west to Yunnan, Guichuan, half of the south of the Yangtze River belongs to me, and the Qing demon spirit is exhausted." It's just that the Northern Expedition and the Eastern Expedition must have a capable general who is in charge to lead the army, and I don't know how to send those two to fight. ”
Yang Xiuqing sighed and said: "What we are talking about now is a big policy, and the details of the charter have not yet been discussed, and this matter will be discussed later." Wei Changhui choked, Yang Xiuqing ignored him, looked back at Xiao Yungui and said, "What do you say?" ”
Xiao Yungui knew that after Wei Changhui said it, Yang Xiuqing would definitely ask himself, and immediately coughed lightly and said: "At this moment, in Changsha City, plus our newly recruited soldiers, there are more than 50,000 battleable holy soldiers, and Xu Guangjin, the governor of Qing Demon Huguang, and Xiang Rong's department are in the south, and there are more than 30,000 demon soldiers. In the east, there are more than 3,000 demon soldiers of the Qing demon Wang Jialin and Taqibu, and recently I heard that there are 5,000 Qing demon Jiangxi soldiers coming one after another. To the west is the Qing Demon Phoenix Hall and the three thousand demon soldiers of the Yongsui Association Qu Tenglong, the deputy general of the Yongsui Association, and I heard that there are also three thousand Qing Demon Qian soldiers coming to help. To the north is Zhang Liangji, the governor of Qing Demon Hunan, Hu Linyi, the prefect of Liping, and other subordinates with 5,000 demon soldiers in Xiangyin, and there is also news that Chang Dachun, the governor of Qing Demon Hubei, also mobilized 3,000 Hubei soldiers to go to Hunan to help. At this moment, there are more than 50,000 soldiers in Changsha near the Qing Demon, and it is rumored that the Qing Demon is mobilizing reinforcements from ten provinces into Hunan, and it is not the best policy to sit in Changsha for a long time. ”
Yang Xiuqing frowned and said, "Qing Demon has mobilized so many troops? ”
Among them, except for Xiao Yungui of the Qing army in the south, what he said was a real number, the rest of the Qing soldiers Xiao Yungui exaggerated, only to see Xiao Yungui slightly hugging his fist to Yang Xiuqing and said: "The younger brother has been sending people around to inquire about the movements of the Qing demon, some news has been heard, and I don't know whether it is true or false, but at this moment, it is the truth that Changsha is seeing enemies on all sides." The younger brother thinks that it is not a long-term solution to sit in Changsha, when the troops jump out of the Qing Demon encirclement, go to the weak place behind the Qing Demon to attack the city and seize the land, and disrupt the deployment of the Qing Demon, after Changsha is stable, he can send a large army to the north to the east! ”
Yang Xiuqing nodded and said: "What the court's compatriots said is very true, first solve the near worries and let go of the long-term worries, if the army launches the Northern Expedition to the East, Changsha will be taken advantage of by the Qing Demons, and the expeditionary army will have to turn back to save it, so it will be difficult to take care of it." Compatriots, you go on. ”
After hearing the words and thinking about it for a while, everyone felt that Xiao Yungui's words were reasonable, if they forcibly launched an expedition, but the Qing Demon gathered superior forces to besiege Changsha, they would inevitably have to summon expeditionary troops and horses to help. What surprised everyone was the performance of the King of the West today, in the past, the King of the West only knew that the charge was the first, but now he can consider the overall situation, everyone is quite surprised.
Xiao Yungui stood up and clapped his hands, only to see a few West Hall guards carrying a screen and walked up to the hall, but this screen was inlaid with a map of Hunan, including several provinces bordering Hunan, marked the location of the enemy and the enemy, the distance of the road, the rivers and mountains, but it was clear at a glance. This map is Xiao Yungui arranged for a group of wardens to consult the governor's yamen classics, find folk atlases, and ask the people everywhere to draw, from the beginning Xiao Yungui said some drawing points, now it seems, it has a bit of modern map meaning, but the scale of this thing the warden still does not understand, the mountains and rivers do not indicate the height, width, some regrets. But this map is still relatively detailed, compared to the previous maps, it can be described as a world of difference, which makes the eyes of all the people in the kingdom of heaven shine.
The map was placed at the door of the lobby, facing the king of heaven and the king of the east, Xiao Yungui walked over, picked up a bamboo whip, coughed lightly, and first pointed to Liuyang in the east and said: "East of Liuyang, west of Tonggu County, Jiangxi Province, Qibao Mountain, Dawei Mountain is surrounded by more than 2,000 people led by the Hunan Zhou Guoyu. Recently, the Qing demon in Liuyang arson, the people are miserable, Zhou Guoyu raised troops against the Qing, relief people in the mountains for a while, now there are two thousand soldiers and horses, thousands of people. A few days ago, he sent someone to Changsha in disguise, hoping to join the kingdom of heaven, the younger brother intended to accept it, but there was Liuyang County between Zhou Guoyu's place and Changsha, and the little brother's dangerous camp outside the city and the Xiangjiang pontoon bridge had not yet been completed, so they could only wait for news in Qibaoshan temporarily. At this moment, since the army of my heavenly kingdom has arrived, I can send the general to lead 10,000 horses east into Liuyang, contact Zhou Guoyu to attack Liuyang, and encircle and annihilate Wang Jialin and Taqibu in Liuyang! Please note that what the Kingdom of Heaven wants this time is not to defeat the Qing Demons, but to completely encircle and annihilate these thousands of Qing Demons in the east, and it is better to cut off one of their fingers than to hurt their ten fingers! As long as the Qing army in the east can be solved, the next step of eastward entry into Jiangxi Province will definitely get twice the result with half the effort! ”
Then Xiao Yungui pointed to the Yuelu Mountain in the west and said: "This is the Yuelu Mountain on the west bank of the Xiangjiang River, now the Xiangjiang River pontoon bridge has been completed, you can send troops to cross the river at any time to occupy this dangerous place, Yuelu Mountain West to go more than 50 miles is Ningxiang, the West Road Qing Demon Phoenix Hall Tongzhi Jia Hengjin and Yongsui Association Deputy General Qu Tenglong Demon Soldiers are stationed here, you can send a general to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to raid here, defeat the Qing Demon of the Department, ensure the flank of the army, and complete the attack on the Qing Demon on the South Road!" ”
Then Xiao Yungui pointed to the northern Hunan **: "Although Zhang Liangji, the governor of the Qing Demon Hunan in the north, does not have many soldiers and horses, he has the help of Hunan people Hu Linyi, Peng Yulin and others, and he can only take the strategy of attacking and harassing the Qing Demon in the north to drag the south of the Qing Demon in the north, and he can send a general to lead 3,000 troops to the south of Xiangyin, together with the local regiment to resist the Qing Demon!" ”
Speaking of this, Wei Changhui said: "Why do you help me in the local group training in Xiangyin? ”
Yang Xiuqing said expressionlessly: "The court compatriots tempted each other with profit, and let the group practice of more than ten villages in Xiangyin rob their owners, and these group exercises are afraid that the Qing demon will go south to retaliate, so they have to lean on our heavenly kingdom." ”
Xiao Yungui snorted, thinking in his heart, Yang Xiuqing also knew about this, it seems that the news of the people lying next to him spread quickly.
"That's true, this department can try to drag the demon in the north as much as possible, Zhang Liangji, the demon head, and wait for the northern expedition in the future to clean him up." Zhang Liangji's side is only 3,000 soldiers, Xiao Yungui exaggerated a little, it should not be difficult to send 3,000 people to drag Zhang Liangji over, followed Xiao Yungui and said slowly: "Zuihou is Xu Guangjin, Xiang Rongbu, the governor of the Qing Demon Huguang on the South Road, this Qing Demon has been fighting with us in Guangxi for a long time, and there are demon heads such as He Chun, Qin Dingsan, Jiang Zhongyuan, Zhang Guoliang, etc., all of whom are stained with the blood of our heavenly soldiers, and they follow here like a ghost, which is really annoying!" The younger brother thinks that when we gather heavy troops to attack the Qing Demon in the south and inflict heavy losses, only by completely removing the threat of the Qing Demon in the south and making the Qing Demon unable to attack Changsha in the next few months, can we rest assured that we can launch the Northern Expedition and the Eastern Expedition! ”
Yang Xiuqing touched his chin and muttered: "The Qing Demon on the South Road is more difficult to fight than the other three Qing Demons, and there are 30,000 Qing Demons, and the troops sent by our army on the other three sides are only 30,000 soldiers and horses, and I am not very sure." ”
Xiao Yungui smiled slightly, pointed to the south of Hunan and said: "Recently, I heard that Zhu Hongying, Hu Youlu, Wu Lingyun and other members of the Guangxi Tiandihui are gathering the strength of the Tiandihui Dashengtang, Deshengtang, Youshengtang, Guangshengtang, Yiyongtang, Guangyitang, Zhongyitang, Lianyitang and other congregations to plot to raise the flag against the Qing Dynasty. At that time, Xu Guangjin, Xiang Rong and others will definitely have to divide their troops to the south, which will be a great opportunity for us. ”
Yang Xiuqing pondered for a moment, Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan always listened quietly, changed a bowl of tea three times, did not say a word, and suddenly said: "There are already many heaven and earth congregations in Quanzhou and Daozhou, and when I was in Daozhou, there were He Zhigou and He Lu of the Heaven and Earth Society under the command of my heavenly kingdom, why not send two brothers to lead some people back to Quanzhou and Daozhou to deal with the incident?" ”
Shi Dakai also said: "The West King's strategy is very good, he thinks more far-reaching than the younger brother, if Guangxi makes a fuss, it will weaken the Qing demon army, which will be of great benefit to me." As the King of the West said, once the Qing Demon of the South Road is completely defeated, we can let go of our henchmen and use our troops as soon as the trouble of our henchmen is gone. ”
Everyone also echoed their words, and for a while, the buzzing in the hall started again.
Yang Xiuqing slapped the armrest of the seat heavily, stood up and said, "Okay!" Send He Zhigou, He Lu and others to the south to contact the rebels! Qin Rigang and Hu Yihuang led 3,000 troops to the north! Da Xi led the soldiers and horses of the Wing Hall to enter Liuyang to eliminate Wang Jialin and Taqibu to clear the demons! The king of the north led 5,000 soldiers and horses and the generals of the north hall to defeat the Qing demon on the west road! The rest of the generals are preparing to deal with the demons on the south road with the king and the king of the west! Please sit in Changsha City and preside over the overall situation! Brothers, you will forge ahead, and this battle will be the battle to create the foundation of our heavenly kingdom for all eternity! Be sure to kill more demons and establish the prestige of our heavenly army! Everyone stood up and shouted loudly, and the scene was truly united and indignant.
