Chapter 253: Sent to the door to surrender T
The northern front of the horse has finally changed. \\ ★ With the new recruits coming in. After the renovation, the old department of San Francisco was also quickly adjusted to the north. Li Dingguo, Mu Jianming, and Li Xiao gathered in Kunming. Sichuan, Yunnan, Guangxi, Guangdong, Fujian, and Guizhou have a total of 150,000 new troops. In addition to 100,000 veterans. There are also 30,000 old troops of the three feudatories who were sent to Haidu for training, and 20,000 new soldiers. To launch an offensive against the 300,000 Green Battalion. There is still a good chance of winning. At least three commanders are confident.
The three of them first received the holy decree at the Yamen of the Chief Minister. Then they all returned to Mu Jianming's General Military Office. Start talking about the battle situation. Li Dingguo's opinion was to gather superior forces and attack Shaanxi first. The strategic location of Shaanxi was not important for the Jiangnan campaign. However, Li Dingguo believed that Wang Fuchen of Shaanxi was an old general of Wu Sangui. The majority of the tribes are the old tribes of the three feudatories. There was not much loyalty to the Manchus. Wang Fuchen is a cautious man. Li Dingguo once sent an envoy to persuade him to surrender. Although it did not make it turn against it. But this person secretly kept a hand. Extremely polite to the messenger. also deliberately gave a secret gift out of Shaanxi. The matter was not reported to the Qing court. Thus. Wang Fuchen was still hesitating. Neither dared to surrender to Nanming. is also leaving a way back for himself. I don't want to sin Nanming. Li Dingguo's meaning is very clear. Since Wang Fuchen hesitated, he launched a superior force to conduct a battle in Shaanxi. Forced this Northwest Harrier to change its flag. So. Ming's power has been added to the point. Opposite. The power of the Manchus was weakened. Once Shaanxi is in hand. Wang Fuchen's army threatened Hubei. Henan. Shanxi, especially = west, is the most important, which is the only way for the Southern Ming Dynasty to enter Beijing. The fall of Shaanxi would be another great shock to the Qing court. More troops will be transferred to Shanxi and other provinces, and then they will concentrate their forces to fight on the front line south of the Yangtze River. So. The army was unable to support the south, and even had to transfer the green camp on the Yangtze River to defend Shanxi. Just in case.
Li Dingguo's strategy is extremely cautious. This method of striking the east and west is very safe. However, Mu Jianming and Li Xiao, the two young and vigorous general soldiers, put forward different opinions. The second emperor launched the Jiangnan Campaign. Aimed at occupying the two rivers. Huguang Jiangnan provinces. Therefore. It is better to occupy Hunan first and then fight a decisive battle
Mu Jianming and Li Xiao are both acute. If you can't do it, you will start a decisive battle immediately. Where are you willing to procrastinate, first and Wang Fuchen waste time. They discussed for a moment. The guards at the door came to report. Someone asked to see Mu Jianming's general soldiers. Mu Jianming shook his head. This meeting is extremely important. "Where do you want to be bothered. waved his hand and said: "This general soldier is very angry, so come back next time." ”
The colonel hesitated for a moment and said, "Lord Commander." This person is said to be a close associate of the general soldier of the Hunan Green Battalion of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
”
The faces of the three general soldiers couldn't help but change. It's really said that Cao Cao Cao arrived. It has just been discussed to march into Hunan. Then the Hunan army came. Now the provinces south of the Yangtze River are due to the disarmament of the Eight Banners. The governors of various provinces also led the elite of the Eight Banners to Liaodong. The army fell into the hands of the commander-in-chief of the Green Battalion. But the problem is. Although the Green Battalion was composed of Han Chinese, all the senior officers were Manchurian. The general name of this Hunan Green Camp is Kohado. It's a full man with a white flag. What did he call people to do?
"Let him in." Mu Jianming raised his hand. The school left in response.
Mu Jianming glanced at Li Xiao. said with a smile: "This kind of thing still needs Uncle Li to come forward and ask." Li Xiao and I were silent. See what the man has to say."
Li Xiao nodded. Li Dingguo stroked his long beard. Laughed. He's old. You can think about a lot of things. Therefore, it was natural for him to ask about this kind of thing.
A moment of effort. A bright ornament. The man with the hat came in. In Yunnan due to the hot weather. A human pole with a hat to shade the sun. Therefore, no one doubted it. The man took off his hat. The long braid at the back of the head was immediately exposed. Long braids coiled over his back. Put on the hat again. so as not to be suspected. Li Dingguo looked at this person fixedly. About forty years old. A smile on his face. Two mustaches on his lips. After taking off the hat, he hit a thousand smoothly: "Say hello to a few commanders." ”
Li Dingguo said: "Who are you?" What is the matter with coming to Yunnan? ”
"Under Li Xiong. It is a staff member of the Hunan General Army Kohado. This time. There is an extremely opportunistic thing to discuss with Mu Jianming. ”
Li Dingguo and Mu Jianmingxiao glanced at each other. said quietly: "I am Li Dingguo." It's the same with me. ”
Li Xiong's eyes flashed. looked at Li Dingguo at the top. I saw Mu Jianming and Li Xiao sitting at the bottom again. Suddenly, he smiled and said, "King Ran Jin is here." Then these two are naturally Mu Jianming's chief soldier and Li Xiao's chief soldier. Li had the honor of one. It's a great relief. It's not in vain to come to this world. Let Li guess. The three commanders suddenly gathered in Kunming today. I think Nan is ready to send troops. It's ready to go on the offensive. ”
Garrisoned in Sichuan. Li Dingguo and his son from Fujian arrived in Yunnan. There must be something important to discuss. There is no need to guess at all. Naturally, it was a matter of sending troops. Rao is so. Li Dingguo still admires this person's chance
said quietly: "In is it a spy." Come and test my Ming army
Li Xiong hurriedly said: "The prince doesn't have to misunderstand. The villain came to ask for surrender on behalf of Lord Kohado. ”
"Please descend?" All three were moved. It is understandable that the three feudatories should surrender. But it's a bit nonsense for a full army to surrender before a fight. No one believes this kind of thing.
Li Xiong was very calm. Xu Xu said: "The matter is indeed too sensational. But since Li dared to come. I think the three generals must also want to hear Li's explanation, right? ”
Li Dingguo nodded. Li Xiong is a very sharp person. Listen to what he has to say.
Li Xiong moistened his throat: "The three chief soldiers don't know anything. Lord Kohado is full of white flags.
Li Xiong paused: "The white flag was originally the genus of the regent Doerr. When the regent was alive. The white flag can be described as the meaning of scenery. But since the death of the regent. First of all, Emperor Shunzhi deliberately suppressed it. Then there was the manor property that fought for the white flag. Now. Even Sukh Saha, who was under the white flag, was exiled. Kohado is a blood relative of Sukh Saha's maternal nephew. Because he worked outside Beijing. It didn't happen. But my heart is still up and down. Do you know when to make people think about it? Previous years. The manor of the Kohada family is full of flowers. He also wounded several house slaves. For this matter. Lord Kohado has been forbearing. Now it's like the sun. Lord Kohado called the villain to ask. If he is willing to raise a province in Hunan to surrender to the Ming Dynasty. Is it possible to follow the rules of Zhao Fu, the chief soldier of Guizhou? ”
Li Dingguo stroked his beard silently. And for good reason. It's just that the surrender of the Manchurians to the Ming Dynasty has never happened. He didn't dare to make a rash decision.
Seeing that Li Dingguo didn't answer, Li Xiong continued disappreciatively: "What does my lord mean. Can you give me a letter? The villain also went back to tell Lord Kohado. ”
Li Dingguo said: "You can rest here for two days first." I'll talk about the rest of the matter later. ”
Li Xiong nodded: "It's a big deal." It's time for the three generals to deliberate. Then Li took his leave first. ”
After Li Xiong withdrew. Dingguo asked Mu Jianming and the others: "You're looking." How credible is this man's words? ”
Mu Jianming said: "What this person said is not completely unreasonable. There should be five points. ”
Li Xiao nodded: "Wang." In my opinion. It's better to call the people from Beizhen Fusi to ask. ”
Li Dingguo thought about it. Said: "This truth. So he called a soldier. Let him go and invite Fu Qianhu in Nanzhen, Kunming, where he is stationed, to come over.
Nowadays, there are a lot of fans in the north and south of the town. There are branches in all provinces. The occupied areas are even more active. Kunming South Town, Fusi Qianhu was originally a member of the Heavenly Society. Now he has followed Mr. Chen to create the Nanzhen Fusi. Now he has the intelligence power of Yunyi Province. He heard Li Dingguo calling. Don't dare to slack off. I felt anxious to feel the general army yamen. After the meeting. I found a place to sit down.
Li Dingguo asked him: "Does the chief soldier of the Hulu Battalion have his information?" ”
Chiho replied, "Yes." This person is in charge of the military administration of a province in Hunan. Both the North and the South have detailed information. If the prince has a problem. You can ask each other. The last will not dare to deceive in any way. ”
Then Qianhu told the information of Kohado one by one. Kohado was an important target of spying. Therefore, there is no need to check the file. Thousands of households also remember it clearly. Li Dingguo and the three listened carefully. The information of sending thousands of households to Li Xiong constantly corroborates each other. Li Xiong was not lying. Kohado is a White Flag man. As a result of being involved in the battle for the yellow and white flags. The grange outside the gate was robbed by a bull with a yellow flag. He also wounded a few house slaves. This person is also Sukh Saha's nephew. After Sukh Saha was convicted. The family was exiled to Ningguta. Some relatives have also been affected. Kohado escaped for some reason. Later, Ao Bai was the governor of the southern military. led 30,000 cavalry battalions to garrison Xiangtan. There are also many difficulties for the general soldiers of the green battalion who are wearing a white flag. Luckily. It just so happened that Nanming threatened Hunan. Ao Bai had no choice but to retreat to Jiangxi. That's how Kohado escaped. From this person's experience. It is not impossible to surrender Nanming. After all, they are oppressed. It's not easy to be bullied. If you can defect to Nanming. Zhao Fu is a marquis. It is better to live in peace than in fear.
Mu Jianming's face showed joy: "Since he is willing to surrender." There is no reason why we should not accept it. Once Hunan is recovered. Then we save a lot of time. It can launch a surprise attack on the area of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. This battle has a few more chances of winning. ”
Li Dingguo's father and son nodded after that. However, Li Dingguo still can't determine whether this person is really surrendered or fake. It's really good. Once it is a false drop. That's not going to be easy. One wrong step. He understands the truth of losing all games better than anyone else.
"So be it. We immediately sent a letter to the emperor. Look at what the emperor means. This person will stay here for a few days first. A decision will be made then. Li Ding patted the chair in a deep voice. The face was very embarrassed.
