Chapter 1076: Humiliation
(PS: Make up a change, apologize.) )
Jianye.
The news of the fall of Yangzhou was like a huge dark cloud, hanging over Jianye City.
Along with the news, there were all kinds of rumors, saying that "since the Qing army has captured Yangzhou, it will be killed in Jianye immediately", which made people panic and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
Above the court, some ministers have vaguely proposed that for the sake of "the safety of the people", they can consider surrendering and other frustrating words. Ouyang Shuo, the newly appointed regent, naturally became the target of public criticism.
Even Emperor Hongguang, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was also uneasy.
Looking at the ministers with their own thoughts, Emperor Hongguang, who had long been unable to control the situation, turned his eyes around, and finally found that he could only rely on Ouyang Shuo.
No matter what, Ouyang Shuo still has an army of 40,000 under his command.
"What does Aiqing think?" Emperor Hongguang asked.
Ouyang Shuo was calm, and said: "Your Majesty does not need to worry, although the enemy army captured Yangzhou City, it was just taking advantage of the danger of people, and did not confront our army head-on, and it is not yet known who will kill the deer." ”
"Yes, yes, what Aiqing said is very true."
Emperor Hongguang was like grasping a life-saving straw, and then he thought that the 200,000 Inhuman Legion was intact, and said: "In this case, please also ask Aiqing to quickly transfer the army back to Jianye, thinking that it will be garrisoned." ”
The other ministers also followed, and they were really not at ease if they were not heavily guarded.
Ouyang Shuo saw it, and said helplessly: "Our army has a countermeasure, please rest assured." As for Jianye's safety, there are 40,000 Inhuman Legions and Liu Liangzuo's troops in charge, and they have no worries about keeping them. ”
As he spoke, Ouyang Shuo glanced at Liu Liangzuo lightly.
Liu Liangzuo seemed to sense Ouyang Shuo's gaze, and his face twitched slightly.
"Yes, yes, yes."
Although Emperor Hongguang couldn't help nodding, he just didn't dare to refute Ouyang Shuo, after thinking about it for a while, he still said cautiously: "For the sake of safety, I hope that Aiqing will transfer troops back to defense as soon as possible." ”
The emperor did this, and it was tasteless.
Seeing this, Ouyang Shuo couldn't bear to lose the face of Emperor Hongguang after all, and nodded in response. Only how to arrange it, of course, is still arranged by the former army.
He didn't believe that with the combination of Guo Ziyi and Jia Xu, he would not be able to break a Yangzhou City.
…………
After the dispersal of the dynasty, Ouyang Shuo returned home.
After all, the turmoil in the court was just a small trouble, and Ouyang Shuo was worried that the rest of the Dashun Army and Daxi Zhang Xianzhong, who had just been contacted, would be frustrated because of this.
In order to encircle the rest of the Dashun army, Ouyang Shuo even asked Li Jing to go out and contact him in person.
"Hopefully they'll be a little patient."
In the afternoon of the same day, Guo Ziyi's secret letter was urgently sent to Ouyang Shuo. After looking at it, Ouyang Shuo also had to applaud Jia Xu's scheme.
"Bringing Jia Xu this time is the right thing."
With Jia Xu's strategy, Ouyang Shuo was at peace in his heart, and immediately recruited the person in charge of Shanhaiwei, and ordered: "Yangzhou has fallen, those clowns will definitely jump up and down, it is an excellent time to collect evidence, and it should not be let go." ”
"Understood!"
In fact, Shanhaiwei has already collected some evidence, but there are still some cunning old foxes, because they are hidden relatively deep, they have not been dug up by Shanhaiwei.
"This time, we're going to catch them all." Ouyang Shuo's eyes showed a cold light.
With the attack of Shanhaiwei, Jianye City, which is not calm, is bound to become more and more undercurrent.
…………
The fifth day of the campaign.
When Guo Ziyi's troops suddenly bypassed Yangzhou City and appeared in the upper reaches of the Huai River, one can imagine the surprise and shock of the Qing army. "When did they sneak over?" Dodor was puzzled.
In order to avoid the investigation of the Qing army, Guo Ziyi also took a lot of effort.
Again, just one morning.
With the cooperation of the royal fleet, Guo Ziyi's troops recaptured Sizhou, which was captured by the Qing army, in just one morning, and also intercepted the grain and grass that the Qing army was going to transport to Yangzhou City, successfully achieving the strategic goal set by Jia Xu.
Now it was the turn of the Qing army to feel uncomfortable.
According to Duoduo's original plan, he was preparing to fight a decisive battle with the enemy army in Yangzhou City, and after annihilating the Nanming Inhuman Legion, he could drive straight into Jianye directly.
"It would have been a very sound battle plan."
Now Guo Ziyi's department suddenly came out like this, completely disrupting Duoduo's combat strategy, not to mention anything else, the problem of grain and grass has suddenly become a big problem for the Qing army.
As mentioned above, the Huai River and the Yangtze River are the main grain and grass transportation routes in the southern region. The grain and grass of the Qing army were mainly transported through the Huai River, and now the Royal Fleet of Great Xia was stuck in the upper reaches of the Huai River, and it was stuck in the neck of the Qing army.
Not to mention that Emperor Chen didn't bring the sailor fleet at all, even if he did, with the level of the two fleets of the Great Zhou, in front of the more well-equipped Great Xia Royal Fleet, he would only have to rest the food.
As for the sailors temporarily put together by the Qing army, it is even more insufficient.
The current royal fleet, under the command of Zhou Yu, who was already familiar with inland water warfare, was an invincible existence. It is no wonder that when the royal fleet passed outside the city of Yangzhou, the Qing army knew nothing.
Yangzhou City, the city lord's mansion.
Duoduo summoned Emperor Chen, Lian Po, and Abatai and others, who had just led their troops to converge, to discuss the matter.
"Yangzhou City is already short of food and grass, and it can only last the army for five days at most. Let's talk about what to do next! Dordor did not immediately draw conclusions.
In front of the Qing army, there are no more than two options: going south and going north.
"I'd suggest going north." It was Emperor Chen who spoke, "Jianye is not as good as Yangzhou, it is a heroic city, and it is heavily guarded, so it can't be easily attacked." If our army is defeated in Jianye, there is a risk of being attacked by the enemy from both sides. And as long as you go north and get food and grass supplies, you can stand firm and fight again on a later day. ”
Emperor Chen had a thorough understanding of the strength of the Great Xia Forbidden Army, and knew that with the forbidden army guarding it, it would be difficult for Jianye to take it easily, so he suggested going north, which was a good strategy.
I never thought that Di Chen's words annoyed one person, it was Abatai who had just arrived.
"Well, you stranger is too long for others to be ambitious, and you will destroy your own prestige." Abatai was very unkind to Emperor Chen, "How can the small Jianye City resist my Daqing Iron Horse?" I recommend going south immediately. ”
As he spoke, Abatai asked Dodder to fight: "When I go south, I will be the vanguard!" ”
And it's no wonder.
Since the Qing army entered the customs, especially with the Shunzhi Emperor moving the capital to Yanjing and destroying the Great Shun, the trend of the Qing Dynasty's domination of the world has gradually become clear.
Inevitably, a Manchu Eight Banners general like Abatai was arrogant, and he really thought that the Eight Banners Army was invincible enough to gallop the world.
In addition, Dichen is a Han Chinese, how can Abatai scruples.
When Di Chen heard this, his face instantly turned red, his fists clenched, and the cold light flashed in his eyes. What a proud man Di Chen, how could he bear the humiliation of such a reckless man as Abatai.
To tell the truth, the strength of the Eight Banners Army, which is only comparable to the peasant army, is not seen by Emperor Chen at all.
Just when Emperor Chen was about to get angry, Duoduo suddenly spoke.
