Chapter 30: The Rumor of Wu Sangui
Chen Fu, who succeeded Wang Yizheng, who committed suicide in fear of crime, as the governor of Shaanxi, is a very powerful character.
This person is the martial arts of the Ming Chongzhen Dynasty, when the Qing army just pacified Shaanxi in the second year of Shunzhi, Chen Fu surrendered to the Qing Dynasty with martial arts, and then for 20 years he has been fighting for the Qing court in the south and the north.
Chen Funeng was transferred to Shaanxi and promoted to the rank of governor, thanks to Li Guoying's recommendation of him.
After Wang Yizheng, the governor of Shaanxi, committed suicide in fear of defeat, Ao Bai issued an order to Li Guoying in the name of the emperor and asked who could take charge of the situation in Shaanxi.
Li Guoying, who was seriously ill, recommended Chen Fu.
It is said that Chen Fu has always been loyal and righteous, and the leading division has always advanced without retreating, and he dares to be the first in every battle, although he is indomitable, if the court is of great use, he will be the pillar of the country in the future.
Shaanxi Governor Bai Rumei recommended to the imperial court the candidate for the admiral is the deputy general Wang Jinbao, who was good at riding and archery when he was young, and had accompanied Meng Qiaofang, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, to fight against the Hui people in Hexi to revolt, and had accompanied Hong Chengchou to the south, and was a rare good general.
At the beginning of Aobai, the candidate for the governor of Shaanxi was also Wang Jinbao, only a month ago, the Erlut Mongols came to northern Shaanxi in the name of garrisoning in Dacaotan, Wang Jinbao needed to supervise the construction of Yonggu City to guard against the Mongols, and he couldn't take away himself to Kuidong to preside over military affairs, so he used Chen Fu, who was recommended by Li Guoying, as the governor of Shaanxi.
This is one of the reasons, and on the other hand, Chen Fu has a deep blood feud with the Loyal Battalion.
His father, Chen Deming, was originally a deputy general in Yulin in the Ming Dynasty, and was beheaded by Li Zicheng when he suppressed Li Zicheng's rebel army.
The revenge of killing his father is not shared.
Two years ago, in the counterattack on the Western Front presided over by Li Laiheng and Liu Tichun, Chen Fu took the initiative to ask the governor Li Guoying for help, and led hundreds of Qing soldiers to infiltrate the rear of the Ming army disguised as the Ming army to destroy its grain routes, and attacked and killed the liaison messengers between the various departments of the Ming army, resulting in the unstable morale of the Ming army besieging the city due to lack of food, and was defeated by Li Guoying.
Chen Fu, who had already arrived in Chongqing to take up the post of chief soldier, went straight to the front line with only a dozen people with his entourage.
After learning that the Xi'an general Fukhachan decided to abandon the important place of Zhushan City, Chen Fuli Chen could not abandon it, because Zhushan City was an important stronghold of the Qing army in Shaanxi Province to cut into Kuidong, and giving up Zhushan City meant that the defense line of the Qing army in Shaanxi would be moved back at least 100 miles.
It's easy to give up, but it's hard to think about it again.
Jia Hanfu, the governor of Shaanxi, also believed that Zhushan could not be abandoned, and reminded the Fukhachan court that the Fukhachan court had sent Prince Kang Jieshu to replace Mulima as the general of Jingxi.
Fuka Zen thought about it again and again and agreed not to give up Zhushan City, but he didn't dare to send the Eight Banners soldiers to settle in, because the Eight Banners soldiers under his command were all scared of the Ming army.
At present, there are less than 2,000 bannermen and armor men who can be used in the entire Xi'an Eight Banners, and it is difficult to go to the front line as before.
Chen Fu asked him to preside over the defense of Zhushan, and then personally led 5,000 troops to Zhushan.
At this time, Zhushan City had actually been recovered by the Ming army, but the Ming army thought that the Qing army in Shaanxi would shrink on the whole line after this heavy loss, so it only stationed less than 1,000 people in Zhushan.
Chen Fu did not attack after discovering that the Ming army in the city was not strong, but ordered dozens of people who dared to die to mix in the flock of sheep to approach Zhushan, and when the Ming army in the city was puzzled, he suddenly ran out and grabbed the city gate with a sharp blade.
The Qing army then covered up and entered, and the Ming army in the city resisted desperately, and finally had to break through from the city because the enemy was outnumbered.
Knowing that Zhushan City was once again occupied by the Qing army, the tiger marshal Li Laiheng and Yuan Zongdi's personal governor besieged Zhushan with 6,000 soldiers and horses.
Of these 6,000 men, half were surrendered.
At the beginning, the morale of the Ming army was very high, and the soldiers braved the arrows and guns of the Qing army in the city to climb the wall and attack fiercely, but the Qing army in the city resisted stubbornly under the command of Chen Fu, and the Ming army was forced to retreat by the Qing army three times in the siege of the city.
Seeing that the strong attack could not capture the city, Li Laiheng wanted to suspend the offensive and wait for the captured Qing artillery to be transported from the rear.
At this juncture, the green battalion soldiers who had fallen to the Ming Dynasty suddenly became chaotic in the camp, resulting in a great rout of the Ming army, with more than 1,000 officers and soldiers killed and many wounded.
This battle directly strangled the strategy of the three old marshals to go out of Hanzhong and Shaanxi.
If it weren't for the successive recovery of a lot of lost territory, I am afraid that the base area would have fallen.
After learning the details of the Battle of Zhushan, Wang Wu had nothing to say, so he could only sigh.
Even if those who surrendered to the army did not make chaos, they used the strength of the base area to forcibly attack the fortified city of the Qing army, which is not done by wise men.
At the beginning, he led the remnants of the Wushan Ming army to desperately break through the stake defense line made of wood, and he really couldn't let him attack the city garrisoned by the Qing army.
"You send someone to buy some medicinal materials, Jinchuang medicine or something and send them to Niu Wancheng, and ask Lao Niu to send things up the mountain from the trail."
That's all Wang Wu can do.
For some reason, Zhushan's defeat made it rare for him to relax.
Because, this battle can at least allow the three veteran commanders and the soldiers of the landlord war to re-evaluate the comparison of enemy and enemy strength, and change the unrealistic attack into a relatively effective defense, so that with their own secret support, it is more than enough to last for a year or two.
Lao Zhang on the Wuchang side agreed to Wang Wuxin's request in principle, and went through the motions for Zha Rulong's arrest.
As for finding a few "upright" officials who wrote to complain about Wu Sangui's ambitions and the harm of the three feudal domains to the Qing Dynasty, there was no difficulty, because everyone in the world knew that the Qing court was suspicious of Wu Sangui.
People all over the world also think that Wu Sangui will definitely create a rebellion against the Qing Dynasty.
Maybe, Wu Sangui is confused.
In Aobai's words, he is really a rich man.
However, Lao Zhang also seemed to smell something from the blood book case, so he asked Zhang Quanzhong to come over and ask Wang Wu for money.
Not much, 30,000 taels.
Money, Wang Wu can give it, but he has to know what Lao Zhang is asking him for money for.
Lao Zhang replied that he was asking people to be active in Beijing.
It is to spend money to impeach Wu Sangui in the imperial history of Yanjing, the kind of impeachment that picks bones in eggs, in short, to form a tide of public opinion to boost Wu Sangui's army.
If you want to have the final effect, you can't do it in two or three years.
You can't do it without money.
In any case, Wu Sangui is the prince of the Qing Dynasty, and there are really few ordinary officials who have enough to eat and can't get along with the prince.
Unless, someone gives money.
"It's better to spread rumors directly."
Wang Wu felt that it was not of much value to use money to smash the official imperial history, so it was better to use the money to hire someone to make up Wu Sangui's nursery rhymes, bizarre life experience, and all kinds of chaotic rumors.
There is always a fox barking outside the window of Pingxi Wangfu, there is an old Wang Ba with a picture on his back in the well of the palace, Wu Sangui's old house in Beijing The floor tiles suddenly exploded, and there are golden knives and jade seals inside, and there are long horned insects hovering in the sky above Pingxi Wangfu at night.
I like to hear that the spread of strange things is more deadly than that of the Eight Classics of Yanguan Zheng'er.
