The main force of the Qing Dynasty going south would not regard Wu Sangui, a great rebel, as one of their own just because he was still flying the banner of the Qing Dynasty.
Facing the main force of the Qing army heading south, Wu Sangui had to make preparations in advance!
Is it to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty to fight the main force of the Qing army and jointly defeat the Qing army's southern expedition?
Or should he sit back and watch the fight between tigers and tigers, waiting for the Ming and Qing armies to decide the winner on the battlefield in Jiangnan, so that he can act according to the opportunity? Sitting back and reaping the benefits?
No matter which of these two options Wu Sangui chooses, he needs to make some preparations in advance.
Actually, Wu Sangui has already been making preparations for this!
Although his main purpose of Hunan's policy of filling Sichuan was to restore the people's livelihood in Sichuan and Shu.
But everyone knows that he is not pessimistic about the situation in Jiangnan, but even thinks that Hunan cannot be defended.
Prepare in advance for Guan Ning's army to retreat to the southwest
After all, it is compared to Hunan, which has a flat terrain and crisscrossed waterways.
Obviously, the mountains in Sichuan and Sichuan are easier to defend and harder to attack!
Wu Yingqi said.
"Father, if you ask me, we should move our troops south along the Yangtze River and cooperate with the Ming army to attack the Qing Dynasty's southern army."
"You must not sit back and watch the Ming army be wiped out by the main force of the Qing army going south, and then give the Qing court the opportunity to defeat them one by one."
Wu Yingqi is still young, and he still has a spirit of vigor that Wu Sangui does not have.
He is not afraid of the military power of the Qing army!
Facing the main force of the Qing army marching southward, he dared to take the initiative to fight.
However, the expression on Wu Sangui's face was still a little fearful. Wu Yingxiong on the side seemed to have read his father's mind and spoke.
"Second brother, this is wrong!"
"Instead of sending troops to Jiangnan now, our army will go south to fight with the main force of the Qing Dynasty in a life-and-death fight."
"It would be better to wait until the Qing court and the Ming army decide the winner in Jiangnan, and then our army can sit back and reap the benefits!"
Wu Sangui nodded approvingly this time.
It was obvious that his maniaphobia was still not cured, and he was still unwilling to take the initiative to fight against the main force of the Qing army.
General Shi Guozhu of Guan Ning Army asked.
"Your Majesty, how about our army march north into Hubei at this time and seize important places such as Wuchang Prefecture and Huangzhou Prefecture along the Yangtze River to prepare for the eastward march to the south of the Yangtze River?"
If Wu Sangui made up his mind, he would go east to the south of the Yangtze River after both the Qing court and the Ming Dynasty were defeated.
It seems that he can only take the Yangtze River waterway!
But now, most of the important towns on the Yangtze River are controlled by the Qing court.
Even if Wu Sangui wanted to go east along the river, the road would be impassable.
Therefore, Shi Guozhu suggested that Wu Sangui take over Wuchang Prefecture, Huangzhou Prefecture and other places in Hubei.
You can even go south along the river to take important places such as Jiujiang Prefecture and Anqing Prefecture...
Form a deterrent to Jiangnan!
Otherwise, if things were decided in the south of the Yangtze River, Wu Sangui might not even be ready to go east along the Yangtze River.
Wu Guogui also spoke.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to be the vanguard and help you conquer Wuchang, Huangzhou and other places."
Wu Sangui thought for a while, then spoke.
"Can!"
"Wuchang Prefecture and Huangzhou Prefecture should be taken!"
Although this is true, what Wu Sangui thought more about was that when the Qing army moved up the river, he could deploy defenses in Wuchang and Huangzhou...
Well, even though all the generals under his command are full of confidence, Wu Sangui is still the same, cowardly.
After Wu Sangui made up his mind, Guan Ning's army began to mobilize troops and prepare to attack Wuchang Prefecture and Huangzhou Prefecture.
Guan Ning's army ordered the mobilization of grain and grass and civilians in various parts of Hunan to prepare for the war.
…
On the vast and boundless ocean!
The water is blue and clear!
A gentle breeze blows, blowing the sails and leaving ripples on the sea surface, causing tiny waves.
From time to time there are seabirds passing by in the sky, diving into the sea to catch fish.
There are even seabirds staying on the deck and resting on the mast.
Sailing on the sea was boring, and the sailors of the Ming army were so bored that some began to feed the seabirds.
The boatswain and stewards didn't take it seriously, and were even happy to join in.
Perhaps the only person who is bored by these sea elves is the lookout hand standing on the top of the mast.
The seabirds that stayed by his side or swayed in front of his eyes from time to time really annoyed him.
Wu Ming stood on a warship under his command, looking at the vast sea in the distance, and asked the adjutant next to him.
"How far are we from Tianjin?"
The cloaked hunter behind him had a solemn look on his face.
Ever since the Ming navy entered the Bohai Bay, the solemn look on Wu Ming's face has never gone away.
Not only Wu Ming, but the entire fleet and almost all naval generals had such an expression.
The deputy general pondered for a while and then spoke.
"Calculating the itinerary, our army will be able to see the coast of Tianjin at about noon tomorrow!"
"Commander Zeng has an order. Although the Tianjin and Dengzhou naval forces of the Qing Dynasty are weak, they still have the power to patrol and defend the coast."
"Our army has now entered the Bohai Bay, and all ships must be prepared to fight at any time to avoid sudden attacks."
Wu Ming nodded, indicating that he understood.
In this operation around the Bohai Sea, the navy chief of the Ming Dynasty had a surname of Zeng and a given name of Xueli.
He is also Zhu Hongyu’s confidant!
After Luzon was recovered, he was transferred to the navy and made many military exploits along the way. He is now the commander of the Luzon Fleet of the Ming Dynasty.
During this Bohai Rim operation, Zhu Hongyu personally ordered him to take command northward and be responsible for commanding the operation.
Wu Ming turned his gaze to the south, seemed to be sighing, and spoke.
“It’s almost New Year’s Day!”
"It seems that this year, we will have to spend the year fighting again!"
The deputy general laughed and said.
"Being happy with the sound of guns and drinking wine with the heads of Tartars, is there anything more satisfying in the world?"
Wu Ming nodded, and the war-weariness that had just appeared disappeared instantly, and he just nodded and said.
"rational!"
"It is one of the great joys of life to drink a Tartar head with wine!"
The Ming army's navy fleet is still heading towards Jinmen.
…
One day later, it will be the third day of the twelfth lunar month in the nineteenth year of Yongli!
The main force of the Ming Army's navy reached Jinmen. After receiving the alarm, the Qing Dynasty's Tianjin Navy came out of the water village to fight, but was defeated!
The Ming army brazenly attacked Shuizhai!
The Tianjin Navy of the Qing Dynasty was completely wiped out in the water stronghold.
After the Ming fleet annihilated the Qing navy, it launched troops to bombard Tianjin and dispatched land troops to conduct a tentative landing attack.
Under the cover of naval gunfire, the Ming army successfully landed and tried to launch an attack on Tianjin.
Once they reached the gates of Tianjin City!
For a time, Jinmen was shaken, the capital was shaken, Beizhili was shaken, and the whole world was shaken!
How many years!
Since the Jiashen Rebellion, how long has it been since the Ming Dynasty's army appeared in Beizhili?
The people near Tianjin had mixed emotions when they looked at the bright Chinese flag and the twelve-pointed sun and moon flag floating on the Bohai Sea.
The remaining people are trapped in the dust, looking south to the king's division for another year!
Now that Master Wang is really here, who can’t help but feel emotional?!
The news of the attack on Dagukou and the Ming army's landing in Tianjin seemed to have grown wings and quickly headed towards the capital.
A bunch of pond horses, stage horses, galloping on the official road from Tianjin to the capital!
The speed of message delivery is even faster than the 800-mile express!
Amid the ice and snow, smoke and dust stirred!
The news spread to the capital, and the whole city was shocked.
Everyone in the capital looked panicked.
Who would have thought that the main force of the Qing Dynasty went south to suppress the rebellion, but the Ming thieves took the opportunity to take the sea route to Tianjin and even threatened the capital. Who could not be afraid?
…
Today is GG, very weak and weak, only the third update.
