Chapter Eighty-Six: The King of the World, the Military Government Sends Troops
The news from the north soon reached the ears of everyone in the military government of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
"Father Ji, what should we do? If this Wang Er is allowed to capture Beijing, it is not clear that the north will really submit to him, which is not good for us. ”
Yan Quan looked at the huge sand table and said this, his eyes were firmly fixed on the city of Beijing on the sand table, and his eyes flashed with light.
Yan Shishu, the secretary of the military department, had already thrown his whole body on the sand table in front of him at this time, and said with a smile when he heard the words:
"The king need not be anxious about this. This Wang Er is too anxious, if he fights steadily and steadily, when the rogues in various places become more and more noisy, and the Ming army is also lost a lot of money in the battle, and the national treasury does not have one out of ten, maybe it can really be done, now...... Beijing is such a strong city, and there are 70,000 Beijing troops to protect it, and the border army is even more coming, and the plan cannot be defeated. ”
Yan Hongliang also said:
"The Ming Dynasty has been sitting on the four seas for three hundred years, and now there are still hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the north, and the main border army is still there, so it will not collapse."
Yan Ling opened his mouth indifferently and made a conclusion on this matter:
"Don't focus too much on the north side...... However, we can take advantage of this opportunity to expand further. If today's eyes are on the Northland, and the fierce battle is in full swing, it is a good time to send troops. ”
"Yes!"
Several people answered in unison.
……
At this time, there were still many courtiers loyal to the emperor.
Sun Chuanting of Huguang, when he heard the news of the instability of Gyeonggi, even if he raised troops to the north, however, because it was too far away from Gyeonggi, and there was a Dashun in the middle, he had to make a detour from Shaanxi to go, so he simply led the army to attack Dashun's back, aiming at Luoyang, the capital of Dashun, intending to encircle Wei and save Zhao.
Hong Chengchou, who was guarding the borderland, also led the army south, and at this time he could no longer take care of the grassland departments in the north, even if he had a strategic vision, he could actually see that unless the officials of the Beijing division made some cerebral hemorrhage operations, they could definitely support the arrival of reinforcements, but the posture must be made.
Liaodong General Soldier Li Zunzu also led his troops south, although most of their cavalry has been reimbursed in the wars with the military government of Jiangsu and Zhejiang again and again, but the most elite part, that is, the soldiers who really belong directly to them, still have two thousand, and the cavalry sent out before is mainly the cavalry of the imperial court and the cavalry of the Jiangmen family united around the Li family, of course, their own family soldiers have also been released with a thousand, and now there are only two thousand people left, plus some other family soldiers, a total of four thousand.
mixed with the border army of Shangliao, more than 30,000 people were dispatched, and they followed them into the king of Guanqin.
The armies of the nine-sided towns also went south one after another.
In other provinces, except for Chen Qiyu and other parts of the Ming army, because they were confronting and fighting with the enemy, they could not get out, and the others were all marching north, even if the road was far away, and the battle might have ended when the Qinwang army of some provinces arrived, but this look was to be done.
And Wang Chongzu was stuck in Baoding for more than half a month. The chief military officer and the prefect of Baoding are all loyal people, desperately defending the city, and almost reproducing the miracle of Hongdu back then, but after all, not everyone is Zhu Wenzheng, and in the end the city was broken and the soldiers were defeated and died.
And by the time they finally approached Gyeonggi in Liankeyi Prefecture and Zhuozhou, King Qin's army had also arrived one after another.
The garrison of Beijing soon exceeded 150,000, and Zhu Yousong distributed all the last money in the treasury to the soldiers of the Ming army, although it still could not make up for the arrears, but it boosted morale somewhat.
Hong Chengchou also soon arrived at the city of Beijing, and as soon as he arrived, he was summoned by the emperor, encouraged, appointed as the commander of King Qin's army, and personally put on his own robe for him, and gave him a sword to show his trust.
Hong Chengchou was greatly moved. He immediately knelt down in front of the emperor and wept bitterly:
"Your Majesty is like this, how dare the minister not serve the dead?"
Then he led the Ming army to resist the Shun army.
The two sides engaged in a fierce battle in Gyeonggi.
At this time, the combat effectiveness of the border army has seriously declined because of a large number of transfers and battle losses, and Wang Chongzu has more than 40,000 pro-army reorganized from the old battalion soldiers, and the rest of the troops are also Lao Kou, whose combat power is quite strong, and has a numerical advantage, so the Ming army is defeated and retreated.
And with the long delay, the Ming army around the Qinwang army, also finally arrived, the total number soon reached 2560000, in Huguang, Sun Chuanting is also like a bamboo, those in the south Wang Chongzu appointed a series of governors and other rogue leaders can not resist at all, Shen Yikui was captured, mixed river dragon, black god and other cadres were killed, "Cao Cao" Luo Rucai fled in the desert, Dashun's defense in the rear directly collapsed.
Sun Chuanting was like a sharp knife, piercing into the heart of Dashun, stirring up chaos in it, and making the front-line soldiers extremely unstable.
The scales of war are slowly being overturned.
……
Jiangxi, Gao Yingxiang also knew what was happening in the north.
He couldn't help but sigh softly:
"I don't want the former leader of the rebel alliance to become such a giant today."
"Although I have the name of the king, my power is not as powerful as ......"
A literati in gorgeous costumes walked over, it was his prime minister Niu Jinxing, and at this time he opened his mouth and said with relief:
"The king doesn't have to worry, now that we have Gannan, as long as we defeat Chen Qiyu again, we can also possess a province, and there is no possibility of plotting the world."
"It's just the land of the two provinces in eastern Gansu......"
Niu Venus's voice was lowered.
In any case, it is impossible for them to ignore the behemoth in the east, which has two prefectures of Guangxin and Jianchang in Jiangxi, and its strength is terrifying, which is an important obstacle to their occupation of the whole province.
Although Wang Chongzu's proclamation as emperor caused the eyes of the world to look away, but these forces close to the military government of Jiangsu and Zhejiang could not forget the pressure on the other side like mountains and seas.
The two were speechless for a while, and after a long time, Gao Yingxiang said in a low voice:
"Chen Qiyu is difficult enough to deal with, I hope they won't get involved again......"
As soon as the words fell, a soldier rushed behind him and hurriedly said:
"Your Majesty, there are a large number of enemy troops in Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the north, more than 10,000 people, and Ningdu and Shicheng have been attacked by enemy troops."
"What!"
The surprised voices of Gao Yingxiang and Niu Jinxing sounded at the same time, and their voices were full of surprise and ...... Fear.
In March of the first year of Hongguang and the third year of the military government, when the fierce battle in the north was in full swing, the military government of Jiangsu and Zhejiang suddenly sent troops in two ways, all the way south to Fujian and all the way west to Jiangxi, and launched an attack at the same time.
