Chapter 347: Offense and Defense

After capturing Fengyang, Zhu Youzhen issued an edict and made him the governor of the four provinces, and the governor of Shaanxi, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Huguang, Jiangxi, and Nanzhili had great power.

In the line of Jiangbei's supervisor, Yang He was arranging military affairs, and the civil and military forces under his command were gearing up one by one, and the atmosphere in the tent was extremely warm.

"The superintendent has been promoted all the way, and King Qin has sent a lot of congratulatory gifts, which can be regarded as a gesture of gratitude."

Yang Hezhong was an official in Shaanxi after the jinshi, and was promoted all the way to the head of the military department, the imperial history, and the imperial history of the left capital, and after the capture of Fengyang, he not only became the governor of the four provinces, but also added the official title of the secretary of the military department.

It's just that when facing the officials of King Qin, he was a little flattering: "Thank you for the grace of King Qin, the lower officials will definitely not disgrace the Qin army." ”

The matter of the Qin Wangfu had just been implemented here, and Yang He immediately began to arrange the capture of the Great Victory Pass.

He Huchen, the chief soldier of Ningxia, stood aside and said, "Supervisor, why don't you let the last general go." ”

"You can't trust Yang Qi?"

Yang Qi is the general soldier of Guyuan, and Yang He's clan, since Yang He's general system of three sides, he has become his personal general, and it is the general Yang Qi who attacked the victory pass.

When He Huchen heard this, he hurriedly clenched his fists: "The last general didn't mean this, but now Nanjing is at the feet of the official army, and all the southern troops are trapped in Yangzhou. ”

Yang He nodded thoughtfully, what He Huchen said was very reasonable, although in his heart He Huchen won a great victory in Ningxia, but it was not this martial artist who fought alone, not to mention that he was in charge of the three sides, and he also had a thorough understanding of the temperament of those general soldiers, and He Huchen would not deceive himself in this kind of thing.

"There is some truth in what you said," Yang He said and looked at his staff member Zhang Henian: "Wenzhi, what do you think about this?" ”

The tent was Yang He's cronies, and Zhang Henian shook his fan: "Dong Weng, General Du doesn't like the general army of Wang." ”

Hiss...

Yang He gasped, he almost forgot this joint point, so he immediately ordered: "Pass on this military order, and order Du Wenhuan's department to go north to Liuhe immediately and wait for the opportunity to cross the river." ”

Nearly 50,000 people under Wang Jiayin's command were adapted from the rebel army of exiles in Shaanxi, and when attacking Fengyang, Wang Jiayin's department even looted the people of Fengyang.

For this reason, there was even a lot of friction between the two groups of people in Fengyang.

At this moment, the general soldier Yang Qi led his headquarters to win a big victory outside the pass, and Wang Jiayin's troops were also crossing the river, preparing to support Yang Qi, and Du Wenhuan was ordered to cover the flanks.

Zhang Henian's words made Yang He wake up, the big victory is just around the corner, Wang Jiayin's department is a rebellion, and he can't change the habit of looting in his bones, if Du Wenhuan and Wang Jiayin are allowed to work together, there will definitely be problems.

"Wenzhi, fortunately, you reminded the old man."

"This is the duty of the next, but Dong Weng, General He is also the old man who seeks the country, and now His Majesty's temperament is uncertain, if there is a mistake in the attack on Nanjing, we will inevitably be impeached."

At this moment, Yang He thought of the impeachment of the imperial history for his connivance with his subordinates after the attack on Fengyang, as well as the unauthorized recruitment of some unrecognized rebels in Shaanxi, so he became afraid of the current emperor.

"Your Majesty..."

Yang He took a deep breath, and then looked at He Huchen: "The old man is negligent, fortunately, Huchen reminded him, it's okay, you immediately lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to support Yang Qi." ”

"The last general commands."

The defense of Dasheng Pass is also tight, Li Wanchang's deputy general Mao Shi with a rout of 30,000 horses to guard here, since Song Che entered the city, artillery and flintlock muskets have also been transported to Dasheng Pass.

"Liang Fan's armament is really precise, much more powerful than the Three-Eyed Gun and the Bird Gun."

Mao Shi looked at the flintlock pistol in his hand, sighed, and then looked at the guerrilla attack of one of the few firearms units under his command: "All the distributions will be distributed, let the soldiers hurry up, there will definitely be a bloody battle in the next few days." ”

"The last general commands."

After the order, Mao Shi's personal guard approached and whispered: "My lord, the Qin army has sent someone to see you in person." ”

"Do you want to lobby the general?"

In front of a Tibetan soldier cave in the south of the city, there are only a few cronies of Mao Shi here.

The person who came respectfully hugged his fists: "General Mao, the little one came on the order of the Governor, but he has a great wealth for General Mao." ”

'Rub...'

The guard beside him pulled out his long knife, Mao Shi turned his head and shook his head gently: "What, when will Yang He be able to make his own decisions?" ”

The people who came were not afraid, and continued: "General Mao, Dashengguan is already a thatched hut in the storm, which may capsize at any time, and Nanjing is not a treasure ship, there is no ability to anchor on the sea, the official army of 250,000 troops gathered in Jiangbei, and 100,000 people were waiting for the city before Guancheng, General Mao, Dashengguan is now like a child..."

"What about the benefits?"

The people who came didn't expect Mao Shi to ask so directly, so he smiled and said: "The Governor said, as long as General Mao abandons the darkness and turns to the light, and when he writes to General Mao to ask for the title of the chief soldier of a town and the post of governor, if General Mao has a major meritorious performance in the later purging battle, it is also feasible to ask for a knighthood." ”

Mao Shi also sighed in his heart when he heard it, but as a rumor, the Zhu Ming royal family was really stingy with the title after Jiajing: "In this case, I don't know what the general can do?" ”

The people who came were not very happy to hear this, this is a promise?

"The general is bold, the superintendent said, as long as the general lets the city open and close, and let the troops of General Yang and General Wang enter the Great Victory Pass, the general will be a great achievement."

"Just to sacrifice Sekijo?"

The person who came smiled: "General, what do you think?" ”

...

"I don't know,"

Chen Cao shook his head after hearing the news: "The gain and loss of the big victory pass lies in Li Wanchang's attention to Mao Shi, and furthermore, whether Mao Shi will be tempted." ”

Just when Chen Cao and his subordinates were discussing the military situation together, Zhao Xin walked into the yamen quickly: "Lord Wang, Jiangbei is urgent." ”

Chen Cao took the official document, and then snorted coldly: "Yang He was really fooled, Mao Shi surrendered, opened a big victory, Yang Qi was originally a forward general, that Wang Jiayin's command is composed of Shaanxi rebels, and his subordinates are all rogues, seeing Mao Shi opened the city, he rushed forward regardless of Yang Qi's order, but Yang Qi's plan was ruined." ”

After Huang Chunyao read Jinyiwei's secret report, he smiled and said: "A rogue is a rogue is a rogue and this is the reason for the quality of military discipline." ”

"In this battle, Wang Jiayin's department suffered more than 10,000 casualties, which can be said to be a lot of injuries.

Chen Cao sat on the chair and analyzed: "The people of Jinyiwei said that Wang Jiayin and Du Wenhuan had a grudge, and originally Yang Qi's left-wing cover was done by Du Wenhuan, but he was replaced by He Huchen before the battle, Zhao Xin, I remember that I asked you to find Du Wenhuan a few years ago?" ”

Zhao Xin arched his hand: "Wang Ye Mingjian, at that time, Du Wenhuan was the deputy chief soldier of Yansui, and at that time he was not like General Deng and General Chen. ”

Chen Cao nodded thoughtfully, this is also the truth, at that time he was still an earl, and it was absolutely impossible to let a deputy general soldier with a great future in the northwest follow him, and at that time, Du Wenhuan really didn't care about the Jinyi Wei who came to contact, otherwise he would become Chen Cao's person like Deng Guang and Chen Maoxiu.

"Yang He suffered a loss at Dasheng Pass, will he cross the Yangtze River from Liuhe and attack Nanjing directly?"

Chen Cao shook his head and denied the inquiries of his subordinates, and then said: "Unless Li Wanchang is a fool, a battle to defend Nanjing will show that Li Wanchang's command is not simple, and even the deputy chief soldier Mao Shi can surrender by fraud, do you think Du Wenhuan's gang of people from the northwest can force the Yangtze River to cross?" ”

The waterway around Dashengguan is stable, and the span is not large, you can build a pontoon bridge on the river to cross, and the water flow in its section is turbulent, you can't build a pontoon bridge, you can only cross the river by boat.

"Right now, Yang He has suffered a loss in Dasheng Pass, and the students think that he will attack Dasheng Pass, after all, there are hundreds of thousands of people."

"The soldiers and civilians can't be counted, he has 150,000 soldiers is already the limit."

Chen Cao turned his head to look at Zhao Xin and said: "Go and tell Xia Yunyi that the training of all armies must be accelerated, and the logistics troops must keep up, and the big war is coming." ”

.

Song Che stood on the gatehouse of the repaired Fengtai Gate and looked at the soldiers and horses that were moving a few miles away with a clairmile mirror, and put them down for a long time: "Go and send someone to inform the prince, just say that there is still a fight in the first battle of Dashengguan." ”

Du Wenhuan learned that Wang Jiayin's department suffered a big loss in Dashengguan, and even he himself was injured, and then insulted God for being unfair, but he didn't let Wang Jiayin die in Dashengguan.

General Du Zhennai is Du Wenhuan's brother and Du Wenhuan's personal general, so he comforted Du Wenhuan when he heard the words, and then said: "Big brother, I heard that the brother who reported the news said that the Southern Army used firearms made in Songjiang on a large scale in Dashengguan. ”

"Yes, such a sharp firearm actually didn't kill Wang Jiayin, which is enough to prove that the training of the Southern Army is not as good as that of Liang Fan."

Du Zhen heard that his eldest brother was still thinking about what happened back then, so he said: "Big brother, the superintendent has come with a military order, let us cross the river from Liuhe." ”

Du Wenhuan looked at the rushing Yangtze River in the distance, and then laughed: "How many of our people in the northwest know how to water?" How were the ships mobilized along the way? ”

"Most of the surrounding ships were requisitioned to Xijiangkou, and there are few left, and there are less than 100 sand boats at present."

"We have an army of 50,000, how long do you think these hundred sand boats will have to be transported?" Du Wenhuan sneered: "This has to be the opposite side of Li Wanchang's unknowing, once intercepted, those people under his command will have to jump into the Yangtze River to feed the fish;

Passing on the commander's military order, the army moved in the direction of Yizhen, looking for opportunities in the waters of the Longjiang River. ”

Du Zhen was shocked: "Big brother, Yizhen is still garrisoned by Zhang Gaoping of the Southern Army, and we are alone in the depths..."

"Hmph..."Du Wenhuan looked disdainful: "Unless Chengguo Gong is a wreck, Zhang Gaoping will definitely not dare to divide his troops." ”
