"Your Majesty, I didn't expect you to come over in person. ”

"I heard you say that Chang Delin broke his left arm in the battle of Dwarf Mountain, how can I rest assured that I, who is a master, can I come and see?"

"I have ordered the imperial doctor to treat him at any cost, and it is very likely that he will save his left arm, so the emperor does not need to worry. This time, it was because Weichen expected the enemy to make a mistake, and the director Zhang Chengzong and Chang Delin suffered heavy losses, and asked the emperor to surrender his guilt. ”

"Old master, you don't need to hang your head. As for predicting the enemy's mistakes, it's not your fault, it's mine. I overestimated the combat effectiveness of Li Zicheng's Dashun army and the Nanming official army, and as a result, the Manchu Tartars drove straight in, and they crossed the Yangtze River from Nanjing in one go, guiding us to be passive in the overall situation. ”

Miao Sanguan took Prince Xiong into the Jiujiang Palace, and the two immediately started a discussion about the current battle situation.

The situation in Jiangbei changed too quickly, which caught Xiong Chu and Miao Sanguan off guard.

In the battles on the front line of Xiaozi Mountain and Toad Gang, although Zhang Chengzong and Chang Delin curbed the advance speed of Tong Tulai and Liu Zhiyuan's troops, they also suffered heavy losses.

Chige led the Shooting Battalion to retaliate by attacking the wounded barracks at night, inflicting heavy casualties on the enemy. It can only temporarily damage the morale of the enemy, but it cannot turn the tide of the battle.

Xiong Chu nominally came to take a look because Chang Delin was seriously injured, but in fact, it was a deeper reason, involving the future of the heavy policy, and it was necessary to reach an agreement with Miao Sanguan.

Previously, on the front line of Fancheng, Xiangyang, Jingmen, and Dangyang, Kong Youde's entire army was annihilated, and there were less than 10,000 troops left around Azig.

This incident shook the Manchu Dynasty and the opposition, and Dolgon was worried that Luoyang would not be protected, so he urgently dispatched 140,000 troops from Wubai, Subai, and Cherbu to the south from Tongguan, and has now arrived at the front line of Fancheng and Nanyang.

Mrs. Gao, the chief manager of the Jiangling camp and the eldest princess of Xingguo, sent an urgent spy report to Xiong Chu, asking for instructions on the strategy to meet the enemy.

Peng Wuying, the general manager of the Hengyang camp, flew to report: Gong Adai, the general of Zhenguo, led Chen Tai, the commander of the former army, and Ji Xiha, the deputy commander, and led more than 25,000 troops to bypass from the south of Poyang Lake, and the troops went straight to Daochang.

Miao Sanguan shook his head: "Peng Wuying has rushed to Nanchang to preside over the battle, and the enemy has only more than 20,000 and less than 30,000 people. It's not a big problem along the way. ”

"What is more troublesome is that Luckedhun's protector commander Borhui and deputy protector commander Muchena have already pressed westward along the south bank of the Great River, aiming directly at Jiujiang, Wuchang, and Yuezhou, with a total strength of more than 50,000 troops. ”

Xiong Chu nodded: "Now your Jiujiang battalion is an empty shell, and there are no soldiers or generals. These 50,000 people of Borhui and Muchena, you really can't deal with them. If it doesn't work, pull up the Zhou Chang and Zhou Xi brothers around me, and their six thousand people will definitely be available. ”

Miao Sanguan waved his hand: "Your Majesty, the most important thing in your life is to have hole cards in your hand, if you pull Zhou Chang and Zhou Xi brothers up, we really don't have half of us in our hands." There are only more than 6,000 people in a women's barracks, and they are not useful at critical moments. ”

"Our current troops are stretched, so what do you say?" Xiong Chu was a little helpless: "Shen Xiyue, the marching chief of the Wuchang camp, has ordered Guan Datou to send 20,000 people eastward, but he can only press on Wuchang County. Otherwise, it would be impossible to curb the Jinli Department of Qizhou from crossing the river to the south. ”

Miao Sanguan pondered for a moment before raising his head and said, "Now there is only one way to temporarily block Borhui and Muchena from continuing to advance westward. That is, Zhou Chang and Zhou Xi were ordered to draw out 2,000 people to escort forty-eight five-inch caliber long-range Hongyi cannons, and immediately build a fort after rushing to Madaoji. ”

"I understand!" Xiong Chu nodded: "Yan Erniang and Mandaili have already gained a firm foothold in Babaozhou, as long as we control the Madaoji on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and then establish a blocking line at the mouth of the lake, the east of the Jiujiang camp can be guaranteed." When we withdraw the main force of Jiangbei, there is no way to take us in a hurry. ”

It turned out that the main content of Xiong Chu and Miao Sanguan's urgent plan was to safely evacuate Zhang Chengzong and Hao Shaoqi's headquarters in Jiangbei to Jiangnan.

The reason for this passive situation lies with Ma Shiying.

Qizhou is an important bridgehead for Luckedhun to attack Wuchang, so 40,000 people of the Jinli Han army with red flags were deployed here. Not only were there a large number of people, but also powerful artillery was deployed in the city of Qizhou.

Hao Shaoqi's troops to attack Qizhou City were only 9,000 men, and there were 6,000 cavalry among them. In the face of the fortified city and the fierce artillery fire, Hao Shaoqi had nothing to do.

Although Jiang Tengjiao, the governor of the naval division, personally led six flat-bottomed Fu ships to reinforce, the artillery on the warships could only attack the western city wall, and Hao Shaoqi could not attack the city at all.

Zhang Chengzong led more than 16,000 people, under the cover of wooden rows and wooden platoons, retreated along Qishui to near the north gate of Qizhou City, originally preparing to participate in the siege of the city.

But Tong Tulai and Liu Zhiyuan's subordinates, who followed all the way, did not eat dry food, especially after Chige led the shooting battalion to destroy the wounded barracks of Short Mountain, Tong Tulai and Liu Zhiyuan got rid of a big burden and began to use the absolute numerical advantage to exert strong pressure on Zhang Chengzong's subordinates.

Zhang Chengzong has not yet figured out how to deal with the situation of being attacked from front to back, and there have been subversive and huge changes on the battlefield on the Eastern Front, and the protagonist of this change is the elder Ma Shiying.

Ma Shiying, a native of Guiyang, Guizhou, Wanli has not been a jinshi, and was originally the governor of Fengyang, the central capital.

After Emperor Chongzhen was martyred, Ma Shiying was promoted to the rank of scholar of Dongge University and secretary of the military department because of "supporting the army and welcoming the blessing of the king Zhu Yousong on the river", and became the first assistant of Zhu Yousong, the Hongguang Emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty, known as "Ma Ge Lao".

The city of Nanjing was broken, Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong was captured, Ma Shiying protected the Queen Mother and killed her, and fought all the way and retreated to Taihu Lake.

Ma Shiying is one of the very few high-ranking and powerful veterans under Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong, and he swore to resist the Qing Dynasty. In addition to the wanton slander of the Donglin Party, people of insight highly respect "Ma Ge Lao".

Because of his sensitive identity and his own unique views on the power struggle, Ma Shiying also has his own unique views on the "Daming Kingdom" of Prince Xiong.

Hao Shaoqi left 6,000 infantry troops to guard the county seat of Huangmeinei, with only one main purpose: to receive Ma Shiying's troops to cross the Yangtze River south and enter the Jiujiang camp.

Ma Shiying was originally the governor of Fengyang, the central capital, and now he has occupied Taihu Lake for half a year, so he is of course very familiar with the surrounding environment.

Previously, Ye Chengen defected, and then there was a short battle in which Taihu City was breached, the enemy's former army commander Han Dai was killed, and the bloody battle of Wanggongling was carried out, and his main enemy Zhang Cunren's troops lost more than 20,000 troops.

Only four days later, a great battle broke out on the front line of Toad Gang and Xiaozi Mountain in the northwest corner of Taihu Lake, and the enemy and us lost more than 30,000 troops.

At the same time, the city of Qizhou was besieged and is still in the midst of a dramatic battle.

All these battles have been fought around Taihu Lake, and a very good situation has emerged: the passage from Huangmei County to the south across the Yangtze River has been opened.

However, because of many unique insights, Ma Shiying made a decision that surprised everyone: "Give up going south and turn around and go east." Eat the remnants of Zhang Cunren in one bite, and then take advantage of the situation to take the central capital Fengyang City. ”

"Your Excellency must know that no matter what kind of Lockthroat Jian Hachiro, Xiong Chu, or the current Daming Kingdom, it is actually one person: Zhu Shengxin, the remnant of Emperor Jianwen, is making trouble. ”

"Let's not talk about who this so-called Zhu Shengxin is, and whether he is the bloodline of Emperor Jianwen. It's just that I and you have a special identity, how will that Zhu Shengxin treat us?"

"Emperor Jianwen has been hunted down by us for more than two hundred years, and it is impossible for anyone to be indifferent to this tone. If we enter the Jiujiang camp, no one knows whether we will fall into the tiger's mouth or kill ourselves. ”

"Also, this Ming country has been established in Myanmar and Vietnam, and has a complete system, which can be said to be deep-rooted. Even if they take us in regardless of their previous suspicions, is there a place for us in the court of the Ming Kingdom?"

Ma Shiying's strange argument really confused everyone, including the three core people.

Chen Zilong, Chongzhen ten years of jinshi; King Lu ordered him to be the secretary of the military department to control the military of the seven provinces; Tang Wang awarded him the military department Zuo Shilang and the left capital imperial history.

Wu Yi, the word Risheng, Changxingbo, Chongzhen 16 years of Jinshi, Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong period belonged to the Shi Kefa lineage, Donglin Party members.

Ni Manqing, a figure in the "Ten Friends of Wutang" (i.e., Qian Eryu, Qian Erfei, Qian Yanlin, Shen Wenhuo, Cao Zigu, Qian Zhongfang, Cao Zixian, Ni Manqing, Qian Shuguang, Qian Buzhi), is a member of the Donglin Party.

These people are all staunch anti-Qing people, and although they are currently forced to get together, everyone has another account in their hearts: who is the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty.

Lockthroat Jian Hachiro, Xiong Chu, and Zhu Shengxin were originally one person, and they belonged to the line of Emperor Jianwen. belongs to the orthodoxy of the royal family, not necessarily belongs to the imperial bloodline.

Ma Shiying, Chen Zilong, Wu Yi, and Ni Manqing have all reached the high position of "extremely human minister".

If you want these people to "give up their current status and start from scratch", it is tantamount to the category of "soldiers can be killed but not humiliated".

There is no doubt that if they take refuge in Prince Xiong's Daming Kingdom, these four people will definitely not be able to retain their "high-ranking officials", because Mandeli has asked Xia Wanchun to pass the word before: There is no iron hat king in Daming Kingdom, and there is no fixed title. If you join the Ming Kingdom, you will definitely not be crowned a king and a marquis!

No matter how intrigued they were, these four people had a unified understanding: if they wanted to keep their status, they must not join the Daming Group of the Xiong Prince.

After the unification of opinions, the next step was the regular military war, and the target of the attack was the disabled Zhang Cunren's department: Chen Zilong led his troops to attack Qianshan County, and Ma Shiying led Wu Yi's troops to attack Huoshan County.

The idea is good, but wishful thinking.

Ma Shiying and the others were trapped in Taihu Lake, and they were all defeated from all over the place and gathered together in a hurry, plus they lacked strategic vision and basic tactical awareness, so they had no idea about the dynamics of the surrounding enemy situation.

The two bloody battles that took place in the southeast and northwest of Taihu Lake, of course Ma Shiying and others knew, and that's all.

There are also Ye Chen's Manchurian red flag and Alai's Mongolian yellow flag on the side of Lekde, with a total strength of more than 60,000 people. This is the real descendant of Luckedhun, but unfortunately Ma Shiying and the others don't know at all.

If you don't know who you are, you will die in every battle.

Chen Zilong attacked Qianshan County and crashed headlong into Alai's net. After only half an hour of support, the whole army collapsed, and Chen Zilong drew his sword and killed himself.

Ma Shiying led Wu Yi's troops to attack Huoshan County, fell into Ye Chen's ambush circle and was annihilated, Ma Shiying died in battle, and after Wu Yi was seriously injured and captured, he was ordered to be beheaded on the spot by Ye Chen.

The sudden and huge changes made the Jiangbei battlefield completely out of control.

The vigorous anti-Qing struggle in Taihu Lake was completely defeated in an instant, which caught Miao Sanguan and Xiong Chu off guard.

The main force of the Jiujiang battalion ventured across the river to the north, and the main purpose was to rescue the anti-Qing troops in Taihu Lake.

Now how to get out of it has become a big problem that Xiong Chu and Miao Sanguan must face.
