Chapter 52: Providence?
"Meet your lord!"
Wang and Yao entered the barracks, and Li Xingzhong, Thin Monkey and others saluted together, and everyone was excited.
"Brothers, long time no see!"
Wang Heyao laughed and stepped forward to help Li Xing and others.
As soon as these guys came, he was even more relieved.
The big war is imminent, like a tiger with wings, or let the tiger return to the mountain, I don't know which one is more appropriate.
"My lord, are you going to war?"
Zheng Siming on the side spoke first, impatient.
"Tian Er, Li Dong, you go to the door and stand guard."
After Wang Heyao finished speaking, he sat down on the stool. Everyone sat down one after another, and their eyes fell on Wang Heyao.
Everyone is in the army, and they are used to being in the army. Although he is the eldest brother and the third brother in the ranks, he has strict military discipline in the army, obedience is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and no one can trespass by rank.
"Rectify the army and horses today, there will be a big battle tomorrow, and our army will also have a piece of the pie."
Wang Heyao's words made everyone in an uproar, and Zhao Guohao sneered.
"It seems that the Tartar Emperor is in a hurry! Otherwise, how could Jieshu, a coward, come to Quzhou from Chuzhou? How could they dare to fight a decisive battle with the rebels? ”
"The Han people charge into battle as cannon fodder, and the flag people watch from the back on the wall, what is Jieshu afraid of!"
Li Xingzhong shook his head and said delicately.
Jieshu came to Zhejiang to supervise the war, and he was still wandering around in southern Zhejiang for two years, not to mention entering Fujian to exterminate Geng Jingzhong, Zhejiang's Geng Army, Ma Jiuyu Department and Zeng Yangxing Department, he was not able to drive them out.
No matter what the big battle is, it is the green battalion soldiers who charge into battle, and the banner generals command it. Anyway, it was the Han people who died.
"Fifth brother, in this fierce battle, I'm afraid we will have to take the lead. You have an idea, do we really want to give our lives to the Tartars? ”
Chen Zigou opened his mouth, cautiously.
"Yes, sir! Brothers are in Quzhou City, these officers and soldiers are like wolves and tigers, and they are not good goods. You say, "Where do we go from here?" ”
The thin monkey also asked tentatively.
No one in this tent wants to be cannon fodder. It's too late to gather strength, and it can still be consumed in vain.
"Brothers, listen to me."
At this time, Wang Heyao had already made a decision.
This is the last chance, and the best chance.
"When I came out of Quzhou City, I kept thinking, what is the best opportunity? Now, I know. ”
Wang and Yao spoke slowly.
"My lord, what's the best chance?"
Wednesday asked ignorantly.
Everyone's eyes looked at Wang Heyao together.
"The best chance, that's providence!"
Wang Heyao spoke softly, and the words were shocking.
"It starts from Longyou and ends with the rivers and mountains, with heaven and Suzhou and Hangzhou. This proverb is exactly the same as our situation! ”
Wang Heyao's words made all the generals feel refreshed.
Everyone started a war in Longyou County, struck a blow in Jiangshan County, and then captured the city of Hangzhou.
Is this really providential?
This is the best chance!
"It's providence!"
Zheng Siming snorted faintly.
"Providence! Against Thanion! ”
"Fifth brother, brothers listen to you!"
"Fifth brother, give the order! Tonight, I broke the camp of Jieshu! ”
The generals' eyes lit up and they roared in low voices.
"Brothers, as far as I know, Chen Shikai and Yao Qisheng both want to make meritorious contributions, and Duan Yingju is strong. The rebels were about 20,000, and the Qing army was about three, and the Qing army had a slight upper hand in strength. ”
Wang Heyao knocked lightly on the table, and spoke seriously.
Sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, this is the best opportunity.
"My lord, what should I do? Do you want to sneak attack Jieshu's camp tonight and let the Qing army mess up on its own first? ”
Chen Zi asked in surprise.
"No! After breaking the Jieshu camp, the Qing army still has 20,000 elites, and we have too few people, so we can't finish the game first. Besides, we don't know where Jieshu is tonight! ”
Zheng Siming thought about it for a while, and immediately shook his head in denial.
"That's it! Even if the Qing army is in chaos, the rebels are not a good thing. What if they take advantage of the black light to deal with us? ”
Li Xingzhong also raised objections.
"Big brother, third brother, you are right, you can't be reckless!"
Wang Heyao nodded, his eyes were cold, and even a little hideous.
"Tomorrow's battle will be on a fire. The best time is when the two armies are fighting fiercely, and the rebels can't hold on......"
Only when the two sides are stalemate, and a sudden blow can kill Jieshu, and the Qing army will be leaderless, and it will naturally be defeated. Zhejiang's situation has stabilized.
Everyone suddenly realized and laughed.
"Fifth brother, my life is in your hands!"
Chen Zigou was the first to speak.
"My lord, my skinny monkey listens to you!"
"My lord, my Lao Huang is the same as when I was in Da Lanshan, I will act according to your military orders!"
The thin monkey and Lao Huang hugged their fists and saluted together, both of which were impassioned.
They have experienced the things of Dalan Mountain together, and life and death have long been tied together.
"Don't look at me, I'm your third brother, do I have a choice?"
Li Xingzhong said softly.
He and the thin monkey were transferred to Quzhou City to guard the city, and Wang Heyao's department arrived and returned to the headquarters.
"The fifth, I'm the same as the third, I listen to you!"
Zhao Guohao patted Li Xingzhong on the shoulder and smiled.
"Old Five, do you mean that both sides are defeated, and then kill Jieshu, the Qing army has no leader, and the rebels are powerless to look north, we have captured Quzhou City, raise the banner of righteousness here, and recruit troops to rebel?"
Zheng Siming asked in a low voice, and everyone's eyes were all focused on Wang Heyao.
Some people's eyes have become hot.
No one wants to live under people for a long time, let alone these teenagers who are already suspicious.
"Exactly!"
Wang Heyao said in a low voice, his eyes blazing.
"Jieshu was forced by Kangxi to march into Fujian, and tomorrow will be a vicious battle. When the time comes, the army gathers outside the city for a decisive battle, and that is the best opportunity. defeated the elite of the Qing army, and then went north overnight and captured the city of Hangzhou! ”
"The southeast town of Hangzhou is an important town, and the baggage is piled up like a mountain, and there are countless gold, silver, artillery, and armor. As long as the city of Hangzhou is seized and troops are recruited, it will be much easier to start an incident. ”
Zheng Siming's eyes were shining, and then Wang Heyao's words came out.
"Old five, the Qing army in Zhejiang has gathered in Quzhou City, and there is enough grain and grass for baggage, do you want to take Quzhou City?"
Li Xingzhong asked softly.
"Quzhou City? That's good! When the time comes, the army will go out of the city for a decisive battle, and the defense of Quzhou City will inevitably be empty! ”
Chen Zigou was so excited that he couldn't wait to open his mouth.
"When the time comes, the city gate will be opened and the city of Quzhou will be captured. Your Excellency the Governor, I'm afraid you're going to be taken aback at this moment! ”
"Even if there is a chaotic battle at that time, many defeated troops will flee back to Quzhou City first. If you want to open the city gate, I'm afraid it's not so easy! ”
Zhao Guohao shook his head and said.
Li Zhifang was the governor of Zhejiang, and he guarded the city of Quzhou for two years, and he could not be so mentally retarded when he guarded the city in the city.
"My lord, do you mean to kill Jieshu tomorrow and then capture Quzhou City?"
Liu Wenshi shook his head again and again.
"Li Zhifang will not surrender, he has a family in the capital as a hostage, he will not risk his family's life, he will definitely defend Quzhou City! Don't you know about Gan Wenkun, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou? ”
The Gan Wenkun that Zheng Siming is talking about is Gan Wenkun, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou. At the end of the twelfth year of Kangxi, Wu Sangui rebelled, the generals of Yunnan and Guizhou attached more to Wu Sangui's army, Gan Wenkun and his son Gan Guocheng committed suicide, ostensibly committed suicide and martyrdom, but Gan Wenkun's other six sons and families in the capital were saved.
This is also the consistent style of the Qing court, all the Han officials who went out to fight in Xinjiang have small families in Beijing, including Geng Jingzhong and Shang Zhixin, who raised troops against the Qing Dynasty.
As for Wu Sangui's son Wu Yingxiong, not to mention, Wu Sangui rebelled, Wu Yingxiong did not return to Yunnan, thinking that Kangxi threw a rat trap, and as a result, he and his son were beheaded.
In this case, Li Zhifang will definitely defend Quzhou. Capture Quzhou City, I'm afraid it's wishful thinking.
