Chapter 479: Hankow
Something has to be explained.
Li Laiheng is not afraid of Yang Qilong's Chongzhen bloodline of this genuine brand of revenge in the future! I'm afraid that Yongli, the legacy of King Gui, will retaliate in the future! It's!!!!!!!!!
……………………
Regarding this, in fact, there is no longer a question of revenge, for Li Laiheng, Yongli is too huge, and it will be digested in less than two years after all his people join, if the protagonist wants to retaliate against him, I'm afraid it will be enough to pinch his fingers.
And for this Yang Qilong, no matter whether the other party is a true or false prince, both sides are in a cooperative relationship, and even Li Laiheng can eat this Yang Qilong in one bite, and cooperate with Yang Qilong, Li Laiheng will have a lot of choices in the future, he can support Yang Qilong as the emperor, and if he scatters in two, he can also take his subordinates to make a great Shun emperor by himself.
People are afraid of retaliation, it is not simple, it should be said that what people are afraid of is the revenge of the strong, Yongli can retaliate against him, but the third prince of Zhu, hehe, I'm afraid even if you want to, you don't have the strength.

Xingshan County is located in the west of the lake, the north side of the Xiling Gorge of the Yangtze River, the intersection of the remaining veins of Daba Mountain and the remaining veins of Wushan, a total of 3580 large and small mountains, it is no accident that the Thirteenth Army of Kuidong can survive here, here the mountains are stacked, the ravines are vertical and horizontal, it is extremely difficult to exterminate, coupled with the recovery of the Ming Dynasty, so that the main force of the Qing army has to turn around to defend the Ming army, therefore, the strategy adopted by this gang of 'bandits' army is to encircle.
The exit of the county's mountain roads are stationed in a thousand general battalions, Hankou and Hanyang towns are stationed with a standard soldier and horse, the battalions block the exit into the mountain and they can't attack it, and they don't let the thirteen armies in the mountains come out, once there is a battalion that is attacked, the flood police, and then the surrounding battalions have come to the rescue, the soldiers and horses of the two towns of Hankou and Hanyang can also arrive in one day, and the purpose of trapping the beast is achieved, but the Qing army can never imagine that the more than 300,000 remnants entered the mountain not only did not starve to death but reclaimed and pioneered in the mountains, In the past ten years, I have lived a nourishing life, but I still have self-sufficiency.
And at this moment, the Qianzong camp at the Xianfeng Pass was dead, Qianzong Wu Dayou stood anxiously at the Yingkou and looked, and several confidants followed behind him with a dignified face, as early as a year ago, Wu Dayou secretly joined Yang Qilong's Chongsan Lang Xiangtang, and now he has accepted heavy bribes in his task is to welcome the thirteen armies out of the mountain.
It's midnight. The green battalion soldiers in the barracks have gradually fallen asleep, and Wu Dayou deliberately transferred the patrol manpower. Occasionally, a few soldiers who were relieved in the middle of the night were also ordered by Wu Dayou not to come to the front camp.
Approaching Shandong, there was a sudden undulating rooster crow. It's the dead of night. If it's not artificial. There will never be a rooster crowing ground. What's more, there are no cottages in the vicinity. The Qing court in order to completely blockade Xingshan County. All the villages have been removed. A barrier was cleared around the mountain.
"Here we are." Wu Dayou rubbed his hands excitedly. Instructed the henchmen behind him: "Turn on the lights." ”
"Wow." The henchman didn't say a word. Immediately run to the watchtower. A lantern was lit.
Then countless black shadows poured out of the mountain. Wu Dayou couldn't help but pull out his saber and shouted: "Brothers. It's the other way around. ”
"Kill." A roar echoed through the night sky. The rebels who went out of the mountains and a group of rebels led by Wu Dayou converged into a turbulent wave. Kill towards a completely undefended camp.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
The green battalions at the foot of the mountain immediately felt the fire in the sky above Wu Dayou's camp in the southwest corner, and then the news came, the thief army went out of the mountain, Wu Dayou led his troops to rebel, and after the thief army and the rebels broke through the camp, they immediately turned to the east and ran away.
The original early warning system was delayed for two full hours because of Wu Dayou's rebellion, and when the battalions were preparing to pursue, a group of men and horses suddenly came out of the mountains, and these people were Wang Guangxing's troops who stayed in Xingshan, they attacked a large battalion, and then immediately retreated to the mountains, in order to contain the Qing army, so that they did not dare to act rashly.
The thousand commanders of each battalion really hit the plan, their current problem is that they do not know the number of thieves who broke through, and they do not know how many thieves are left in the mountains, if there are few thieves who break through, then it is very likely that the thieves are the plan of the thieves to move the tiger away from the mountain, after all, if the battalions send troops and horses to pursue, then the defense line set up will naturally be clumsy left and right, once there are still a large number of thieves hidden in the mountain, the entire defense line can not resist at all.
Therefore, the thousands of generals can only go back to their own camp in disgrace, anyway, Wu Da has the bastard who let him go, although they are also involved, but it is not too big, if suddenly a thief in the mountains breaks his camp, then it will be troublesome, and it is still light to ask for dismissal, first keep the guy who eats himself.
A few days later, Zhang Zhensheng, the governor of Hubei Province stationed in Hankou, received an emergency
A group of rebels from Kuidong suddenly fled from Xingshan and were coming to Hankou and Hanyang, with a specific number of at least 50,000 or more, and now they had left Yichang Prefecture and bypassed Jiangling City, and were about to arrive soon, and the number of green battalions in various prefectures and counties was too small to contain them.
Yichang Prefecture, Jingzhou Prefecture, Jingmen Prefecture have found traces of the enemy, local officials also asked for reinforcements, Zhang Zhensheng's expression changed greatly, he is the banner man of the Han army flag with a white flag, and he followed Dolgon into the customs in the early years also went through the battle array, but the sudden appearance of the 13th Army of Xingshan and went straight to Hankou was enough to make him shocked.
Zhang Zhensheng's first thought was the Ming army in Wuchang, according to common sense, most of the Xingshan thieves came from the Dashun army in Shaanxi, if it was after breaking through, it was naturally right to go northwest into Shaanxi, but if you didn't want to join the Ming army in Wuchang by taking the road to the east, I am afraid there would be ghosts.
As for the safety of the two towns of Hankou and Hanyang, he was not very worried, but ordered the green battalions in each county to shrink their strength, and nearly 70,000 Qing troops were stationed in Hanyang and Hankou respectively, forming a horn trend, which can be described as solid, and the reinforcements of the imperial court may arrive in half a month, even if the Ming army in Wuchang wants to cross the river to respond, I am afraid it is not so easy.
The news also arrived in Wuchang through the Jinyi Wei spies lurking in Jiangbei, for the sudden action of the Thirteenth Army of Kuidong, it also made the people in Wuchang very puzzled, it stands to reason, such a big military operation, Li Laiheng, as the Duke of Linguo canonized by the Ming Dynasty, more or less has to be informed, even if it is not for himself, it is okay to let the Ming army help, but this time the operation Kuidong did not have any notice, let alone any hint in advance, it was completely arbitrary, which also made Li Xiao very angry.
Li Xiao's father, Li Guo and Li Laiheng, had the experience of fighting side by side in Yunchuan, and both of them also opposed Sun Kewang, and finally although they parted ways, it was good to talk about personal relationships, so when contacting, Li Xiao has always regarded himself as a nephew, and now this uncle plays such tricks, which really annoys him, the incident happened in a hurry, and Wuchang was also unable to respond, so he could only order the Ming army stationed along the river to strengthen its vigilance, and ordered the fans of the Zhenfu Division to step up the collection of intelligence and find out the origin of the matter as soon as possible.
Hankou, together with Wuchang and Hanyang, is known as the Three Towns of Han. It is located in the northwest of the Yangtze River and north of the Han River, across the Yangtze River from Wuchang to the southeast, and across the Han River from Hanyang to the south. It is an important bridgehead for the Manchu and Han people in the middle section of the Yangtze River. Hankou got its name from the fact that it is located at the mouth of the Han River flowing into the Yangtze River, because the Han River was called Xia Water in ancient times, so it was named Xiakou during the Three Kingdoms.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Hansu became a new commercial port, and Zhuxian Town, Henan, Foshan Town, Guangdong, and Jingdezhen, Jiangxi Province were listed as the four famous towns in the country, and became the largest port in China's domestic river.
After Wuchang was captured by the Ming army, Hankou and Hanyang were quickly set up as military fortresses by the Manchurians, stationed in the army, trained military horses, and planned to fight a decisive battle with Wuchang at any time, therefore, at this time Hankou has been full of green battalions, with the arrival of the green battalion, the commerce and trade industry seems to be more prosperous, after all, the soldiers need to eat, drink and lazar, and also need to visit the kiln to prostitute women, this front-line commercial port has attracted many merchants because of military tension, so that the number of outsiders who enter and leave the city every day is as many as tens of thousands.
Today, however, the gates of Hankou City have been closed, the city walls are full of tense green camps, and notices of the yamen have been posted in all streets and alleys, and no one is allowed to go out on the streets at will, otherwise they will be punished according to military law, and the shops along the streets will also be ordered to close their doors, and the whole of Hankou is in an extremely tense atmosphere.
Zhang Zhensheng continued to read the military newspapers of various prefectures, and the general soldiers of the Hubei Green Battalion beside him were sitting dangerously, although they were hollowed out by wine, but they still looked very powerful in a military uniform.
"Mr. Ma, how is the movement in the south?" Zhang Zhensheng suddenly raised his eyes and asked the chief soldier.
Ma Zongbing's name is Ma Mengchu, and Zhang Zhensheng is the same as the Han army with white flags, the two have dealt with each other very much, and they are very friendly, so Ma Mengchu is not rigid, and said in a stunned manner: "I went to inspect it, except for strengthening the vigilance on the other side of the river, there is nothing other unusual, and there seems to be no sign of large-scale action." ”
Zhang Zhensheng was stunned when he heard this, something is wrong, didn't those thieves merge with the Ming army? Impossible, Zhang Zhensheng vetoed this idea, although the number of thieves was large, but he did not believe that these people could capture Hankou and Hanyang, and eighty percent still went to the river.
"The defense of the riverside must be strengthened, the Ming army is the best at bluffing, and the truth is the way of the soldiers, so the emphasis is still to pay attention to the movements of the Ming army." Zhang Zhensheng was not afraid of those rogues who did not even have weapons, and in his heart, the biggest threat was still the Ming army in Jiangnan.
"Wow."
