Chapter 262: Northern War (4)

 Zhu Hengjia summoned the new Taibo Hao Shangjiu. There was no sensationalism and he went straight to the point.

"Hao Qing, I want to let you be used as a bait to fake defeat in Taoyuan Mountain and lure the Qing army to Maozhu Mountain. This mission is a narrow escape, are you willing to go?"

Hao Shangjiu didn't even think about it, "I'm willing to go."

Zhu Hengjia suddenly felt guilty. This Hao Shangjiu was Li Chengdong's old subordinate. He was arrogant and rebellious at first, trying to separate Chaozhou and become a local emperor. He was docile by himself. He was very loyal over the years, but he used him and guarded against him.

In short, it seems a bit excessive.

He sighed leisurely: "Hao Qing has not been reused in the past few years. Have you ever blamed me?"

Hao Shangjiu's eyes turned red, "Thunder, rain, and dew are all your kindness. I dare not blame the supervisor! The supervisor has great talents and strategies, and the day will come when China will be restored. I will follow the Holy Lord, and I will have no regrets even if I die."

The word "death" made Zhu Hengjia's heart ache.

"No, Hao Qing must live well and accompany her alone to regain this picturesque country."

"I will obey the holy order." Hao Shangjiu's eyes became even redder, "I am about to leave, and I have something deep in my heart to say to His Highness. Your Highness is the person I respect the most. Over the years, I have shown my loyalty to the Ming Dynasty.

Never changed!"

After hearing this, Zhu Hengjia couldn't help but blushing. He walked up to Hao Shangjiu and patted him on the shoulder, "Gu Ye said something heartfelt to Hao Qing, it's Gu who has wronged you over the years. This time,

If Qing can come back from Taoyuan Mountain alive, I will definitely be together with Qing Long and set an example for a monarch and his ministers to understand each other and never let each other down."

??

The military report from Huguang, Sichuan was submitted, and Zhu Hengjia summoned Sun Jinding, Zheng Feng, and Liu Maoxia with a heavy face for discussion.

"Wu Sangui has entered Sichuan and captured Chengdu, Long'an, and Songpan; Babutai has also captured Chengtian Mansion. Your Majesty and others will discuss what should be done."

Sun Jinding smiled: "Sichuan is far away, so there is nothing to be afraid of; Abatai in Huguang does not have many troops. The Qing captives are in Sichuan, and Huguang launched an offensive just to contain our army and build momentum for the Qing army in Jiangxi. It can be ignored.

Pay attention. The key is Jiangxi. As long as this battle is fought, the world will be settled."

"Sun Xueshi is right. The Qing Dynasty general Wu Sangui transferred this elite soldier to Sichuan instead of Huguang. It was really a failure. Abatai in Huguang only had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. He was happy but did not obey the transfer order.

If salt is not salty and vinegar is not sour, he will never be able to cross the Yangtze River. He can ignore it and focus on the Jiangxi situation." Zheng Feng also agreed with Sun Jinding's view.

"Xuanchu, what do you think?"

Zhu Hengjia attached great importance to this newly obtained adviser's opinion.

"I think the words of the two cabinet ministers are very reasonable. Wu Sangui did not attack Chongqing and Jiading, but instead attacked Long'an and Songpan. He wanted to avoid war. In fact, the only enemies in Sichuan were Li Guohan and Li Guoying; Huguang's Shang Kexi also

It's difficult for Abatai to fight with a small number of soldiers at both ends. There's nothing to be afraid of. The key to the overall situation still lies with you. As long as you can severely damage the enemy in Jiangxi, the offensive and defensive momentum will be easy."

Zhu Hengjia laughed loudly: "The little Tatar emperor in Beijing is trying to rule the Han with the Han. It's okay when things go smoothly, but once the situation changes, these traitors will have their own agenda!"

"Report! Zhang Chengwu, the commander-in-chief of Ganzhou, arrived with 10,000 reinforcements."

Zhu Hengjia knew that it would still be some time before the reinforcements from Guizhou and Guangxi arrived, so he was cruel and mobilized Zhang Chengwu from Ganzhou for reinforcements. This also meant that once the battle was defeated, there would be no elite troops stationed in Jiangxi.

Liu Maoxia asked: "Supervising the country, where are you going to use these 10,000 soldiers and horses, General Zhang?"

"Of course it was used to ambush the Tatars at Maozhu Mountain."

"No, the valley of Maozhu Mountain is narrow, and more than 40,000 people are enough for an ambush. I am worried about General Zhenshuo. He only has 40,000 soldiers and horses. He has to defend the long front along the Lianshui River. Once he loses it, the Qing army will

If we cross the river from the front, our ambush here will be useless."

Zhu Hengjia looked at the map and thought for a while, "What Liu Qing said is true. Isolation will allow Zhang Chengwu to rush to help Li Mingzhong."

??

"Your Majesty, I would like to send you my regards."

"Get up, emperor." Empress Dowager Zhaosheng looked at her son with a smile.

In the Cining Palace in Beijing, a mother is kind and her son is filial.

The Empress Dowager Zhaosheng is thirty-eight years old this year. She was married to Shengjing at the age of thirteen. Once she entered the palace, she was as deep as the sea. After countless bloody battles in the palace, she had already been tempered to be calm. She knows her son Mo Ruomu. When her son pays his respects today,

If it's earlier than usual, there will be trouble.

"Huang Eni, the situation in the north is now very good: Nikan captured Jiujiang, Abatai captured Chengtian Mansion, and Wu Sangui also captured northwest Sichuan. However, the situation in the south has collapsed. Chen Tai is surrounded in Fuzhou and is in danger. I

Minghamu, the rescue of Galidao, was blocked at Xianxia Pass. Chen Jin, that loser, our Qing army clearly had the upper hand in Zhejiang, but we lost Ningbo and Taizhou. Jin Li, Liu Zhiyuan and those two minions arrived in Zhejiang

, still deadlocked. My son wanted to send another army to rescue Fuzhou, but too many Eight Banners disciples had been deployed, and the rest had to be stationed in key areas. There was really no troops to send. If not the Eight Banners, but only the Han army, I was afraid that they would not be able to do so.

With all my heart".

The Empress Dowager Zhaosheng smiled charmingly: "It's hot. Your Majesty, please take a sip of tea first to moisten your throat. We still have soldiers. We have organized all the princes, princes, beile, and aha from the beizi's families. We can still gather together."

There are 20,000 troops and horses; a group of Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners can be mobilized outside the pass, and there are still many soldiers and horses in the green camp in the north who can fight. But where does the emperor plan to use these troops and horses?"

"Fuzhou is in danger, so naturally it is sent to Fujian."

"No. Sichuan, Huguang, Zhejiang, and Fujian are not the key to the battle. The key to the battle is Jiangxi. Nikan has captured Jiujiang and has taken the initiative. It's just that his hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses have to face the Ming armies of various provinces.

The main force has to be divided into various places, which may not be enough. It is thought that the emperor should send all the troops and horses he can mobilize to reinforce Nikan, so that Nikan can conquer Changsha with one force. In this way, the world can be settled."

/p>

Emperor Shunzhi thought for a while and said, "What Emperor Enie said makes sense. I immediately asked Jidu (Prince Jierhalang) to summon the Aha of Baylor from all the princes and rush to Jiangxi first; then I asked Duoni (the eldest son of Duduo) and Luo

Entrusted, the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia outside the Pass will be mobilized to support them later; in addition, troops and horses from the Northern Green Battalion capable of fighting will be selected and sent to Jiangxi together.

The Empress Dowager Zhaosheng was very pleased, "The emperor has grown up and handles military affairs in a very orderly manner. But I feel that it will take some time to transfer northern troops to Jiangxi. Hong Chengchou can squeeze out some troops and go to Jiangxi for emergency response. In addition,

During the last campaign against the Hui people’s riots, there was a man named Zhang Yong under the command of Meng Qiaofang, the governor of the three sides, who was quite capable of fighting. Why not let him also join Jiangxi?"

"Huang Eni's words are reasonable, and his son immediately issued an order to Hong Chengchou and Zhang Yong."

??

Aixinjueluo Nikan's army arrived at the Xiushui River. The 160,000-strong army suffered 15,000 casualties, and another 30,000 were left to guard the Jiujiang area. Now there are only 115,000 troops under his command.

After a series of victories, the 42-year-old prince was very satisfied and excited, and took Ma Guozhu, the governor of Jiangnan, to check the water conditions.

Seeing that the river is both wide and long, I couldn't help but sigh, "It's such a long river, and you can't see the end at a glance. It deserves to be Xiushui."

Ma Guozhu also said: ""Zhi Fang Cheng" records that the source of this river comes from Huanglong Mountain and is 660 miles long. It is named because the water travels far. The Ming army guarded the river and it was not easy to cross it.

Nikan laughed loudly, "Our Eight Banners soldiers are invincible and brave, but it is just a small river. It is not worth mentioning. I have found out that the water in Wuning in the middle reaches is shallow, and we can cross the river from there."
