Don't be preemptive!

How to blow up Nanjing City, Wang Wu knows the way.

What kind of march route, he knows better.

History is his golden finger.

So, not to scare the sea.

If you dare to slaughter the soldiers and civilians in my base area, Wang Wu will dare to slaughter all the Eight Banners soldiers in Jiangning City and their families!

In fact, it means mutual nuclear deterrence.

However, the nuclear deterrent of Tuhai can be implemented at any time, that is to say, it is really capable.

After all, the Sichuan Green Camp put down the fire, so that Tuhai could concentrate on dealing with the Ming army, and he didn't have to worry about the Sichuan Green Camp stabbing him in the back.

Maolu Mountain has been captured by the Qing army in Shaanxi Province, and it can be said that the door is open, and it is in danger of being lost.

If Tu Hai urges the Qing army to attack again on all fronts, the time of the fall may be calculated in days.

And it will be difficult for Wang Wu's nuclear deterrence to land, and it sounds a bit bragging.

It's like the enemy is making trouble in the Pacific, but you go to the Indian Ocean to conduct exercises, and at first glance you are pretending.

Therefore, if this nuclear deterrent is truly intimidating, Wang Wu has to create a momentum along the east of the river, whether it is true or false, and Tuhai has to be afraid of it.

What to make it from?

Of course, it's the water master.

Wuchang has a green battalion sailor, with more than 140 large and small warships and 1,200 people.

Like the Green Battalion soldiers in Wuchang City, the Green Battalion Sailors outside the city scattered after hearing that the army entered the city, and set fire to it before running, resulting in only 52 ships left in the hands of the Ming army.

Relying on 52 ships alone would definitely not be able to reach the great momentum of attacking Nanjing, so Wang Wu asked the dog-legged Jin Guansan to take out hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from the Wuchang Domain's treasury, and recruited fishermen along the river to set up sailors for the Ming army.

Real money!

"It doesn't matter if it's a big ship or a small boat, as long as it's a boat, I want it!"

"Those who are willing to sell ships to our army will be sold at twice the price of the market! Anyone who is willing to join me as a sailor, whether it is a father and son, a brother, or a husband and wife, anyway, as long as you can operate a boat, I want it! ”

"Except for the boat money, everyone and others will be paid according to the battalion salary for two years!"

The hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in the treasury of Wuchang are huge sums of money in the eyes of others, and they are a pile of metal to Wang Wu.

Spending it is money.

Money talks!

Even though the people's hearts are in the Qing Dynasty at the moment, the residents of Wuchang are not interested in the Ming army, and even resist the arrival of the Ming army, but Wang Wu is not calling on them to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, nor is he telling them the great truth of expelling the Tartars and restoring China, he is just taking money out and smashing it!

It's like a boatman who may only earn a hundred taels in a lifetime, but Wang Wu will hold a hundred taels in front of him now, you see that he can't move.

A few hundred yuan a month, and now you will be given a hundred months' salary at a time, do not do it!

As long as the money is in place, Wang Wu can't believe that he can't get together hundreds of boats, and he can't get a sailor who can break through the blockade of the Qing army!

When the spies of the Qing army reported to Tu Hai that the army was desperately searching for ships in Wuchang City to build a sailor, it was necessary to see if Tu Hai dared to threaten Wang Wu with the soldiers and civilians in the base area.

You must know that even if Wang Wu's partial division can't take Nanjing, the damage caused by its flow along the river is amazing.

At that time, the Qing court was furious and held accountable, and Tu Hai was the first person responsible.

Obviously, you can let the Ming army be the least harmful "sitting coward", and you can even succeed in appeasing it, but you Tuhai forced the Ming army to become a rogue and make the provinces restless, who do you not carry this pot!

Qian Daotai said very clearly that the naval division of the Qing army on the Yangtze River was limited, and it was mainly concentrated in the Jiangfang area.

The Wusongkou Naval Division and the Jingkou Naval Division that blocked the Yangtze River estuary.

These two naval divisions were guarding against the Ming army forces that resisted the Qing Dynasty along the coast.

Mainly the Zheng Group.

When Zheng Sen led the sea ships into the river, he really frightened the Qing court and almost shook half of the country.

With this lesson, the Qing court attached great importance to the defense of the river, and the result was that the Wusongkou Naval Division and the Jingkou Naval Division in the lower reaches had many ships and soldiers, but the strength of the upstream naval divisions was very weak.

In addition to the Wuchang sailors who have dispersed on their own, the upper reaches of the Yangtze River are the sailors of Chongqing, but they are far away and directly ignored.

In addition, it is the Anqing Naval Division in Anhui and the Jiujiang Naval Division in Jiangxi.

These two naval divisions were transformed from the original Ming Dynasty naval divisions, and because there was no river defense mission, their armaments were lax and their combat effectiveness was limited.

There is also a Dongting Lake water division in Hunan, and the strength of this water division can also be ignored, because the Ming army does not go to Hunan.

That is to say, Wang Wuzhen wants to grit his teeth and not care whether the soldiers and civilians in the base area live or die, and the soldiers of the Ming army under his command are also willing to go east with him, as long as they break through the blockade of the two water divisions of Jiujiang and Anqing, the Ming army can rush to the city of Nanjing in one go.

When the time comes, carry the coffin, load it with gunpowder, and rush to the Jinghai Temple outside the Yifeng Gate to dig a tunnel that leads directly to the Yifeng Gate!

Where is Nanjing City the weakest, but there are seniors who have tested it for Wang Wu.

"Is the general really going to fight Nanjing?"

Qian Daotai felt that this idea was too bold and too advanced, even if there were sailors to Nanjing, there would be thousands of miles to go, and it was difficult to say that there were no changes on the way.

Moreover, there are garrison Eight Banners in the city of Nanjing, and even if the Ming army can break through the city gate with such a small number of troops, I am afraid that it will be very suspenseful to take Nanjing.

Back then, it was as strong as Zheng Chenggong's 100,000 army, but it also folded back.

All in all, quite risky.

Qian Daotai was not optimistic about going east along the Yangtze River, but believed that he should use Wuchang and Jingzhou as bargaining chips to negotiate with Ao and strive for the most favorable conditions for the Ming army.

Wang Wu did not hide that he did not really want to go to Nanjing, but to create a momentum in Nanjing, so as to deter Tuhai from messing around.

"Tuhai?"

Qian Daotai pondered for a moment, "Tu Hai has no reason to ignore the life and death of his own brother Mulima, unless he wants to borrow a knife to kill someone?" ”

Wang Wu raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?" ”

What does it mean, Qian Daotai can't say it, so he feels that Tuhai is inexplicably unreasonable.

According to normal logic, since Wang Wu's side has already released a signal for peace talks through Yang Maoxun, the governor of Huguang, and Tuerge, the deputy commander of the Qing army, Tuhai, who is the deputy commander of the Qing army, should have made peace talks with the Ming army under the premise that the commander was arrested and the Manchurian Eight Banners were defeated, instead of openly saying that whoever dared to negotiate peace would be killed.

This will not only lead to the violent departure of Wang Wu on the Wuchang side, but also lead to the death of Mulima and other Manchurian prisoners, and will also cause the war to spread to neighboring provinces.

After all, it was impossible for Wang Wu to defend Wuchang to the death.

But why Tuhai did this, Qian Daotai couldn't figure it out for a while.

Finally, I gave a suggestion, that is, I might as well ask Zhang Changgeng, the governor of Huguang, what Tuhai wanted to do.

After all, an official at the level of the Governor knew much more about the inside story than he did on this platform.

After hearing this, Wang Wu felt that it made sense, so he asked Zhang Changgeng, who had been imprisoned for a few days, to summon him.

When the people arrived, they went straight to the point and told the matter.

But he didn't say anything about Sichuan Governor Zheng Jiaolin's "stopping".

Who knew that Zhang Changgeng said directly after hearing this: "It seems that the king of Pingxi has no objection, and General Dingxi has also controlled the situation, and there is not much time left for you." ”
