Chapter 146: The Second Battle of Tumubao?

But that's just what it seems.

Zhu Yong, as the chief officer of the Western Front, led the troops of the two large battalions of Jiangxi Metropolitan Division and the regimental battalion, totaling about 50,000 people, from Taining, Shaowu Mansion to Jiangle in Yanping Prefecture, and then to Shunchang, approaching the capital city of Yanping Prefecture.

The puppet Ming regime had limited troops, and did not dare to disperse its forces to fortify Shaowu Mansion, but reduced its forces to the city of Pingfu.

Defend but not attack.

At the same time, Zhu Jianji led the remaining three regiments and battalions with a total of about 30,000 people, intending to enter Yanping Mansion through the naturalization of Tingzhou Prefecture, and then enter Quanzhou Mansion through Sanming, Yong'an, and Datian in Yanping Prefecture, and enter Yongchun in Quanzhou.

Zhu Jianji slowed down his march.

Once Zhu Yong takes Yanping Mansion, he will completely cut off the connection between Quanzhou Mansion and Xinghua Mansion along the way, and Fuzhou Mansion will be surrounded, leaving only one side facing the sea.

Therefore, on the Quanzhou side, it is estimated that there will be heavy troops of the puppet regime, and the situation has not yet been clarified, so it is not advisable to rush in, in case of a major battle, the war will be tragic, and the casualties will be very serious.

This is not the situation that Lao Zhu and Zhu Jianji want.

It's all my Ming soldiers, why do you want to kill you for the sake of Jianwen's remnants?

There's no need.

So Zhu Jianji marched very slowly, and he was waiting again.

This time it's not about waiting for King Ning to rebel.

It's waiting for another man-made anti.

Funing Prefecture, Taoxi, Ningde, Yu Qian was covered in armor, standing in the camp of the Chinese army, and after listening to the report of Liu Qi, the commander of the Tiger Ben Left Guard, he was a little surprised, "Wu An's army will not move when it enters Ningde City?" ”

To fight a decisive battle in Ningde?

He asked again, "How many people are there in Ningde?" ”

Liu Qi said with a solemn face: "Not much, about 20,000, the remaining soldiers and horses are distributed in Fuzhou Mansion, Quanzhou Mansion, and Yanping Mansion, according to the report, the strength of the entire puppet Ming regime is about 100,000." ”

Yu Qian bowed slightly, "There are about 20,000 on the Ningde side, about 20,000 on the Jianning Mansion side, and 20,000 on the Yanping Mansion side, which means that there are 40,000 troops to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in Quanzhou Mansion?!" ”

This is not good news.

After His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Zhu Yong divided their troops, the strength was only 30,000, which was at a disadvantage in terms of troops, and it was not Zhu Yong, Marquis of Funing, who led the troops, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally led the army.

Although there are many officials such as Zhang Peng and Wang Yue, the coach is a ten-year-old doll, and it is strange that Yu Qian can rest assured.

Suddenly, a commander came quickly, "Yu Shaobao, someone asks to see you." ”

The look on the conductor's face was very complicated.

Yu Qian's heart jumped, could it be that the way to Quanzhou was defeated so quickly, His Royal Highness the Prince...... Hurriedly asked, "Is it news from Quanzhou?" ”

The commander shook his head, "Wu An is carrying a few heads and begging to see Shao Bao." ”

Yu Qian and Liu Qi looked at each other.

Wu An?

Isn't it in Ningde City, why did you come to Taoxi?

……

……

In Fuzhou Mansion, in the temporary palace rebuilt by the Yamen of the Cheng Xuan Political Envoy, Zhu Qizhen slowly drank tea, looked at Zhu Zunxi who was pacing back and forth, and secretly laughed in his heart.

Eye-high hands and low-handed waste!

Before I even started fighting, I was already like an ant on a hot pan.

The mentality is too bad!

Zhu Zunxi stood still and said to Zhu Qizhen: "Your Majesty, the news from Quanzhou, Zhu Jianji's army Datian should be going to Yongchun in Quanzhou to cut off the back road of Fuzhou. ”

Zhu Qizhen sighed, "Although the defenders of Quanzhou Mansion only have 2,000 people, Cheng De, who is the commander-in-chief of the military affairs and the commander of the Fujian Dusi Tingzhou Guard, is a veteran who participated in the Battle of Luchuan. ”

Zhu Zunxi shook his head, "But that's Zhu Jianji!" ”

He is the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty.

The temptation is too great.

If Zhu Jianji can be captured alive, he will be qualified to negotiate with Zhu Qiyu.

Zhu Zunxi said to Xie Wan next to him: "If Zhu Jianji captures Quanzhou, we will lose our strategic space, so Quanzhou is very important, and Zhu Jianji does not have many soldiers and horses, is it feasible to go to Quanzhou to capture Zhu Jianji alive?" ”

Fuzhou is no longer a place to stay for long.

Too close to Zhejiang.

Xie Wan said: "This plan is feasible, Wu An is involved in Yu Qian in Funing, and most of the troops on the side of Jianning and Yanping are transferred, and only a small number of troops are left to involve the enemy army of Zhu Yong and Jianning, we can gather an army of about 60,000 people, and have an absolute advantage over Zhu Jianji's troops. ”

Zhu Zunxi looked at Zhu Qizhen, "Your Majesty, why?" ”

Who is Zhu Qizhen?

Daming God of War!

There is nothing to say about military ability, as soon as I heard Xie Wan's analysis, I immediately felt that there was a drama, after all, I have a lot of troops, and I am also a veteran of the coastal guard, and I have fought with pirates and pirates, and my combat power is strong.

After thinking about it, "If you can win Zhu Jianji, that's the best!" ”

did not personally experience the humiliation of the Taimiao.

But it doesn't mean that Zhu Qizhen can't feel the shame that Zhu Jianji brought him, the temple number is fort, and the name is martial, just these two words make Zhu Qizhen hate Zhu Jianji to the core.

Not to mention the matter of the vegetable temple.

Zhu Zunxi saw that Zhu Qizhen had no opinion, and immediately said to Xie Wan: "Go and summon Qiqing, let's discuss together, whether to choose to resist on all fronts, or concentrate troops to encircle and suppress Zhu Jianji, and listen to everyone's opinions." ”

"The Evil God"

This is a multiple-choice question.

In the former, no one is absolutely sure that they will be able to defeat the all-front attack of the imperial army.

The latter is a big gamble.

If most of the troops were to be sent to Quanzhou, it would mean abandoning the defensive lines of Funing, Jianning, and Yanping, and all the officials of the imperial court would have to go to Quanzhou with the army.

Because Fuzhou is likely to be lost.

Despite this, if Zhu Jianji cannot be taken quickly after arriving in Quanzhou, it will still be a catastrophe.

However, if Zhu Jianji is quickly captured, on the one hand, there will be bargaining chips, and on the other hand, a small number of troops from Yanping, Jianning, and Funing will have a chance to keep the city defense intact, and the main army of their own side can quickly return to the division and re-establish the defense line in Fuzhou, Jianning, Funing, and Yanping.

It didn't take long for Qiqing to arrive, except for Wu An, the secretary of the military department.

As soon as he heard Zhu Zunxi's strategy, Qiqing began to make noise again, with different opinions, some people insisted on defending to the death, and some people thought that the defense would only be cut by the blunt knife of the imperial army, so it was better to go to Quanzhou to take down the prince Zhu Jianji.

No one is convinced of anyone.

In the end, it was the puppet emperor Zhu Qizhen who said: "We are in the sky to appease, but there are few responders, but there are people in Liaodong and Sichuan, but they were destroyed in an instant, and now with our 100,000 troops, we want to defend Fujian, and it is okay, then we should also gather our troops, instead of scattering our forces to Funing, Jianning, Yanping and Quanzhou, and fight a protracted war, we have no advantage." At this time, Wu An contained Yu Qian in Funing, and we gathered our forces and took the initiative to attack the enemy army along the way, but there was only one Zhu Jianji in Quanzhou. ”

God was lucky, in a desperate situation, he gave Zhu Zunxi and himself a chance to turn the tables.

Zhu Qizhen felt that the current strategy of resisting the enemy was extremely inappropriate.

Pity.

It was Wu An, the secretary of the military department, who formulated the strategy of building a defensive line, and Zhu Zunxi and Qiqing agreed that no one believed what his puppet emperor said, as long as the military was mentioned, this rabble would vaguely mention the civil fort.

Zhu Qizhen was so choked that he couldn't speak.

That's why I think that Zhu Zunxi is a master with a low eye, and he didn't twist this group of people into a rope at all.

And there was a serious miscalculation of the situation.

thought that if he dragged himself to establish a small court, the local capital of the Ming Dynasty and the envoy of the Cheng Xuan Political Department would have someone to raise troops to respond, but as a result, it was wishful thinking, and even Huguang and Sichuan, which liked to rebel the most, did not make a big move.

And Zhu Zunxi looked up at Jianwen Yu himself.

Although there is money...... After decades of overseas smuggling, Jianwen Yu is only afraid that he is richer than Tang King Zhu Qiongjing!

But what is the cohesion of the army gathered with money?

What kind of ability do officials who come for money have, and what kind of loyalty do they talk about?

But......

Once the enemy forces in the direction of Quanzhou are defeated and the crown prince Zhu Jianji is taken, the situation will be different.

Victory can be a blessing!

It may not even be said that Huguang, Jiangxi and other places will know that the Ming Dynasty is already at the end of the strong crossbow when they see the great victory in Fujian, annihilating tens of thousands of regimental camps, and capturing the prince of the current dynasty.

If someone responds, then there will be a chance to compete in the world!

The battle of Quanzhou will be the second civil fort!
