Chapter 508: Qing Jun's Side (2)
His attitude changed quickly, and he was overwhelmed by the obstacles, and after obtaining consent, the three of them formed a triumvirate on the spot and began to use troops to the Huizhou Mansion.
Ling Jingyang was the military commander, Du Yinxi was the Minister of the Interior, and Jin Sheng was the auxiliary, and the three decided to concentrate their forces, entering Jiangxi from Huangzhou Mansion, and then entering Nanzhili from Jiangxi, and the troops approached Congshan Pass, Huizhou Mansion.
Before attacking Huizhou Mansion, the three giants began internal rectification, and within half a month, De'an Mansion, Huangzhou Mansion, Wuchang Mansion, Baoqing Mansion, Changsha Mansion, Yuezhou Mansion, and Changde Mansion were integrated together, and the power of the three was almost half of Huguang.
A new force suddenly rose, but did not stir up waves, the Qing army had no time to look east, and was bent on fighting the Dashun army, King Lu was still besieged by the rebels, and Emperor Longwu was just a puppet of the Zheng family, and the Zheng family was also fighting hard and was determined to take revenge on the Fusang people.
Even the Hongguang Imperial Court thought that this was the withdrawal of the front-line troops to rest, and asked the minister to treat the army.
In order to ensure success, Du Yinxi and Jin Sheng completely gave Ling Jingyang the command of the troops, Du Yinxi was responsible for logistics, and Jin Sheng devoted himself to the people's livelihood.
With the help of two people, Ling Jingyang could finally let go of his hands and feet, and he led 30,000 soldiers and horses from Huangzhou Mansion into Jiangxi.
The Ming army in northern Jiangxi was weak, and in the face of tens of thousands of well-equipped Ming troops of the same lineage, there was almost no discomfort and opened the city gate to surrender.
Ling Jingyang was able to capture several state capitals in the north of Jiangxi Province in one breath, and he occupied the city in front, and Du Yinxi and Jin Sheng were pacified in the back.
Tens of thousands of Ming troops turned their guns and killed Nanzhili, which frightened the monarchs and ministers of the Hongguang court.
The only areas actually controlled by the Hongguang Imperial Court were Anqing Mansion, Chizhou Mansion, Huizhou Mansion, Ningguo Mansion and other places.
There were not many soldiers and horses in these places, and Huang Degong's thousands of descendants withdrew to Huizhou Mansion, and in less than a day, they were divided by the ministers of civil and military affairs of the imperial court.
In the face of the sudden rebels, Emperor Hongguang was very painful, Huang Degong died in battle, his heart was like ashes, the Huguang official army did not receive the holy order, and suddenly the class returned to the court, is this to force him to a dead end?
He convened the ministers several times a day, hoping that the ministers could persuade Ling Jingyang to withdraw from the army, and the ministers and Du Yinxi were more familiar with Jin Sheng.
Book of Hundred Leagues
Most people in Keling Jingyang are not familiar with it, and Hongguang Junchen has to gather soldiers and horses from all over the country.
Soldiers and horses from all over the country gathered towards Congshan Pass, and Ling Jingyang still led the troops to continue to advance.
Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under the banner of the Qing monarch arrived in the northeast of Jiangxi, only one step away from the Huizhou Mansion.
A Hongguang army stationed on the border between Huizhou and Jiangxi has less than 5,000 people.
These miscellaneous soldiers have no fighting spirit at all, and Emperor Hongguang gives silver and grain and grass every month, but he has no desire to fight.
The generals stationed here were familiar with Ling Jingyang, and when they heard that Ling Jingyang was leading the army, they immediately summoned their generals and announced in a high-profile manner that they would join Ling Jingyang's team.
Many of his subordinates didn't understand what he did, so he asked his soldiers to carry a guillotine to everyone, and whoever dared not to obey would have his head cut off now.
Under his high pressure, 5,000 soldiers and horses defected and greeted Ling Jingyang in Guangshan, the capital of Huizhou.
Shi Tie, the vanguard general of Ling Jingyang, led 500 cavalry and 1,000 light infantry carrying five days of grain and grass to break into the territory of Huizhou Mansion.
He led the army to Guangshan, but he was a little surprised to see the Lingzi military flags all over it
Be surprised.
What's even more outrageous is that a group of cavalry rushed out of the mountains, looking at the posture of the cavalry, it was definitely the elite of the Ming army.
"Bend the bow and shoot if you dare to step forward."
The Guangshan cavalry stopped at a distance of two hundred paces, and the first general stepped forward with a smile and said, "Dare to ask if it is the Governor of Lingdu, the commander of the Iron Fist Legion, Shi Tie?" ”
Shi Tie saw that this person was Jiang Xuan.
Jiang Hao was defeated by the Qing army in Taiyuan Mansion, and it was difficult to escape with the remnants of the defeated army, and after many hardships, he retreated to Nanzhili.
Defected to King Lu, King Lu looked down on him and wanted to go to Fujian, but the road was too far, so he had to defect to the Hongguang court.
Hongguang court lacked soldiers and major generals, and Jiang Jiu's remnants were only a few thousand, but after all, the emaciated camel was bigger than a horse, and Emperor Hongguang endured his nose and appointed Jiang Jiu as a scholar and ordered him to garrison Ningguofu.
In order to prevent Jiang Xuan from making trouble, His Majesty also deliberately asked Jiang Xuan, Jiang Xuan, his younger brother, to lead the army to garrison Huizhou Mansion and the border of Jiangxi to disperse Jiang Xuan's strength.
Jiang Xuan led hundreds of troops down to Guangshan, recruited troops here, and even recruited thousands of soldiers to form a miscellaneous army.
Most of the 5,000 soldiers and horses were rags, and there were hungry people who could not eat enough, and those who could go to the battlefield were hundreds of people he brought from Shanxi.
Shi Tie looked at him excitedly
"Mr. Jiang, is that you?"
"It's me, I heard that you are coming, and I didn't rush to make hundreds of Lingzi military flags overnight to welcome the arrival of the Lingdu Governor."
He ordered the troops to withdraw from Guangshan and gave the position and the barracks to Shi Tie, who couldn't believe that Jiang Xuan would be so good.
Jiang Xuan looked at him in disbelief.
"Eating and drinking here, it's better to live happily with the Governor of Lingdu, my 5,000 soldiers and horses will be the Governor of Lingdu's people in the future."
Only then did Shi Tie react and said to him: "You are so hearty, do you dare to go with me to meet the governor?" ”
"Why don't you dare, you can take me now, by the way, what about Li Rufeng?"
Jiang Xuan and Li Rufeng are brothers who are friends of life and death, he asked.
Shi Tie's face was very painful, Jiang Xuan saw his expression, and immediately realized that Li Rufeng might be unexpected.
"Li Rufeng went?"
"I went, I was shot in the battle with the Fusang people on the dog day, Grandma Fusang, don't Lao Tzu see the Fusang soldiers, see one and kill the other."
Shi Tie's face was also full of hatred, but he quickly put away his hatred and took Jiang Xuan to the rear.
Jiang Xuan couldn't stop crying along the way, Li Rufeng saved his life several times, why did he leave so early?
When he came to the Chinese army led by Ling Jingyang, Ling Jingyang had already received a message from Shi Tie that it was Jiang Xuan's department stationed in Guangshan, and Jiang Xuan intended to lead his troops to defect to him.
Ling Jingyang had a good impression of Jiang Xuan, and saw Li Rufeng's shadow in him, and he brought Wan Liyun, Wei Lan, Lao Mantou, Gao Ding and other senior generals to welcome him.
The other two generals were not here, and after the army entered the Huizhou Mansion, to prevent it from being raided by the Hongguang army, Ling Jingyang asked Zhang Shun to lead the army to the left flank and He Zhen to the right flank.
These two troops had already crossed the Guangshan Mountains and moved to the northeast of Huizhou.
Jiang Xuan and dozens of others arrived at the Chinese army, Ling Jingyang was looking forward to it, and when he saw him coming, Ling Jingyang and Wei Lan said: "Order the troops directly under him to go to Guangsha and reorganize Jiang Xuan's soldiers."
Horse. ”
is so cautious, it is Jin Sheng and Du Yinxi who have repeatedly told that the Hongguang court is not strong, but this is the court after all, and it is necessary to fight steadily here, and there is no certainty of victory.
So Ling Jingyang asked Wei Lan to incorporate Jiang Xuan's troops, Jiang Xuan came to the Chinese army happily, and Ling Jingyang stepped forward to greet him.
When the old people met, it was naturally lively, Jiang Xuan and most of Ling Jingyang's generals were familiar with him, he was a little sad and talked to Ling Jingyang about Li Rufeng, that was his best brother, and he left like this, and his heart was really painful.
"Jiang Xuan, the Fusang soldiers have been cut down, so you let Rufeng not look back."
Jiang Xuan still couldn't help crying, Ling Jingyang couldn't bear it, he asked Wei Lan to incorporate his army, but he would not treat Jiang Xuan badly, and Jiang Xuan said: "Jiang Xuan, I will let people take in your subordinates, I have the position of the general army of Shangrao Mansion here, are you willing to come?" ”
As soon as he defected to Ling Jingyang, the troops were absorbed.
Jiang Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then heard that Ling Jingyang appointed him as the chief soldier of Shangrao Mansion, but it was okay.
He was a little embarrassed to tell Ling Jingyang that his 5,000 soldiers and horses in Guangshan were all rabble, and if it weren't for the imperial court to pay him to recruit soldiers, he really didn't want to see that group of miscellaneous soldiers.
Ling Jingyang didn't care much about his subordinates, and asked Wei Lan to go to Guangshan to collect the troops, select the elite, and the rest of the people all dispersed to the local guard troops, Ling Jingyang asked Jiang Xuan, are there any other troops in the Hongguang Imperial Court?
In particular, Huang Degong's soldiers and horses are not many, and their combat effectiveness is very good, and the Hongguang Imperial Court is determined to use these thousands of soldiers and horses to defend Congshan Pass, and it will not be able to gnaw at Congshan Pass for a while and a half.
"There are a lot of soldiers and horses in various places in the imperial court, but they are all waste soldiers, but after Huang Zongbing died in battle, his subordinates were divided as soon as they returned to Huizhou Mansion, most of them went to the state and county as defenders, and the rest were co-opted by the ministers of the imperial court as family members, and the entire imperial court had no troops that could fight, and the governor could lead the army to fight on Congshan Pass."
Jiang Xuan also asked Ling Jingyang to go to Ningguo Mansion to contact Jiang Xuan and persuade Jiang Xuan to raise troops in Ningguo Mansion and cut off reinforcements from other places to reinforce Huizhou Mansion.
Since most of them were miscellaneous soldiers, Ling Jingyang asked Jiang Xuan to go to Ning Guofu to discuss with Jiang Xuan.
He did not waste time, he led the army to enter Guangshan that night, and the next day he went to Congshan Pass to kill, along the way the Ming army looked at the wind and surrendered, and there was no general of more than 1,000 to lead the troops to resist.
Looking at the huge team, Ling Jingyang also shook his head again and again, these soldiers will only waste grain, grass and military salaries, and when they attack Congshan Pass, all the soldiers who eat and drink will go to the local tuntian.
Hongguang Junchen was like ants on a hot pot at Congshan Pass, watching Ling Jingyang's army getting closer and closer, and the soldiers and horses in Huizhou Mansion either surrendered or stood still.
What made Emperor Hongguang most angry was that Gu Yinxi and Jin Sheng were behind Ling Jingyang, pacifying the occupied prefectures and counties, and there was almost no resistance in various places.
One of the soldiers and horses of Yixian and Xin'anwei who guarded Congshan Pass withdrew to Congshan Pass, and the other part broke up on its own.
Emperor Hongguang wanted to go to Ningguo Mansion from Congshan Pass several times, but Jiang Xuan, the chief soldier of Ningguo Mansion, ordered the border to be closed, but Jiang Jiu did not get Jiang Liang's order, and those who crossed the border were killed.
This almost made Emperor Hongguang despair, Congshan Pass was filled with the breath of death, and Emperor Hongguang summoned his ministers and asked them to think of a way not to let the rebels attack Congshan Pass.
At this time, there were still 30,000 soldiers and horses in Congshan Pass, and Emperor Hongguang could still hold it, but he wanted to go, he did not stand up, which made the army scattered, and no one was willing to stand up and lead the army to resist the rebel attack.
