Chapter 270 Economic strategy to defeat Chongming within a time limit
Jiangning.
At the reception banquet hosted by Ma Guozhu, the newly appointed Governor of Jiangnan, Henan and Jiangxi, Mr. Yan Lue happily announced the good news in western Zhejiang to a group of Manchu and Han officials.
"Haining Marquis Zheng Jiwu captured the city of Hangzhou, and deputy general Tan Zhicai joined General Zhang San to recover the entire territory of Huzhou. Congratulations!"
Cheers spread.
The new governor-general, Ma Guozhu, was originally the governor-general of Xuanda. He was from Liaodong and a member of the Zhengbai Banner of the Han Army. He was also an old traitor who had been surrendered to the Qing Dynasty for more than ten years. Although he was a Han, he was one of his own who was trusted by the Tatar upper class because of his naturalization. He was serving as the regent.
When Wang and Emperor Shunzhi presented a memorial, they were qualified to call themselves slaves.
Like Fan Wencheng, Ning Wanwo, Bao Chengxian, etc., he was a senior Han civil servant in the Qing court. During the turmoil in the south of the Yangtze River, Dorgon immediately thought of this minion and transferred him immediately.
In fact, the correct name for the Eight Banners of the Han Army should be the Eight Banners of the Han Army, which is part of the Eight Banners of Manzhou. It is also the Eight Banners of Mongolia. For example, the Zhengbai Banner of the Han Army and the Zhengbai Banner of Mongolia are both subordinate to the Zhengbai Banner of Manzhou and Zhengbai Banner.
The banner owner Dorgon was not only the master of the Zhengbai Banner people in Manchuria, but also the master of the Zhengbai Banner in Mongolia and Han Dynasty. They were all Dorgon's slaves.
It is precisely for this reason that Dorgon first transferred this slave of his own banner to help cooperate with Duke Yan.
Although he was obviously a Han Chinese, Ma Guozhu insisted on dressing himself up like a Manchu. Not only did his hair be shaved smoothly, but he also had a golden rat tail braid on the back of his head. Even his clothes and decorations were in Manchu style.
We must draw clear boundaries with the Han people at every turn.
If it weren't for the fact that Mr. Yan, the manager at this banquet, couldn't speak Manchu, he wouldn't even bother to speak Chinese.
"The reputation of the manager spread far and wide across the Yangtze River. As soon as he left the capital and headed south, the Can Ming rebels in western Zhejiang were so frightened that they collapsed without a fight. Only then did Generals Zheng Tan and Zhang take credit for this achievement. Speaking of which,
The main credit for this must be attributed to you."
This flattery is quite good.
Yan Wogong stroked his beard and nodded, looking very happy. Jiangning Governor Tu Guobao, who was holding a wine glass, felt very contemptuous and even deeply hostile to the new governor.
When benefactor Hong Chengchou was transferred to Huguang, Tu Guobao lost a stable backer. The imperial court appointed a new governor of Jiangxi, Jiangnan and Henan. He felt that he was the most qualified to be promoted.
It's natural for a governor to be promoted to governor, and he has made so many great contributions before?
It happened that Ma Guozhu was transferred from Xuanda University.
This is tantamount to robbing him of his position as governor, how can he be happy?
But when my father-in-law Yan came, he not only beheaded Zhang Cunren and Xiao Qiyuan, but also reprimanded them severely without any mercy, which made him even more unhappy.
But when I think about it, I relied on Yan Wogong's help to redeem Suzhou City and Biaoying. I got his good advice and put the blame on Li Shutai. I owed him a favor, so I could only endure it.
.
The governor of Jiangxi, Henan and Jiangnan has no role for himself, and the governor of Zhejiang has asked Li Yuchun to go. It makes me sad to think about it.
This time, the imperial court sent four Manchu generals to the south and stationed them in the four important towns of Jiangning, Suzhou, Songjiang and Hangzhou. They also built Manchu cities in the four cities to garrison the Eight Banners for a long time. The Eight Banners soldiers led by these garrison Eight Banners generals were still basically
Regardless of the governor, the governor is in control.
For Tu Guobao, the governor of Jiangning who was stationed in Suzhou, wouldn't it mean that Li Shutai had just been killed and a more powerful emperor had arrived?
He has no control over the garrison of the Eight Banners, but the garrison of the Eight Banners can keep an eye on him. What does this mean?
A large number of Manchu adults are stationed in the south of the Yangtze River. This is definitely not a good thing for corrupt officials like Tu Guobao. Not only will a part of the greedy money be given to some Manchu adults in the future, but even the things he does may be
They found out.
When he thought of this, he even secretly hated the Nine Kings for being useless. Why did they shrink back at the critical moment? Where was the bravery he showed when he defeated Su Song?
Why did you stagnate after capturing Hangzhou, or even abandon the defense? Why don't you continue going north and capture the city of Nanjing?
Also feeling sad were several Jiangnan generals, Tu Guobao's arch-rival Su Song, Admiral Wu Shengzhao, Suzhou Commander-in-Chief Yang Chengzu, Zhenjiang Commander-in-Chief Degong, Jiading Deputy General Li Chengdong, Staff Officer Zhang Guozhu, etc.
In the past six months, they have been very unlucky. While others are making great progress and getting promoted and making money, they are stuck in circles, and they even keep making mistakes and being punished.
Especially Li Chengdong, who was urgently summoned to Jiangning by Yan Wo Gong and asked him to explain why he had lost three cities in a row before, why he had lost so many soldiers, food, grass and equipment, and why he still had conflicts with the generals in the adjacent defense areas despite the current enemy?
Li Chengdong rushed to Jiangning in a hurry, handed in the notice at the door of the Jinglue Yamen and waited for several days, but was not summoned. Even his mother's Jinglue's disciples looked down upon him.
He is very uneasy now and doesn't know how he will be dealt with. Zhang Cunren and Xiao Qiyuan, the governor of Zhejiang, are facing the fate of him. Now in the officialdom of Jiangnan, who is not afraid of Mr. Yan?
When Hong Chengchou was here, he was said to be strict in running the army, but he would never dare to be so direct as to kill the governor, kill the governor, kill the general and the general, and kill them all first and then report them. It really doesn’t matter how many backers you have, at the critical moment
He won't give you any chance.
"Good news comes frequently. This is due to the power of the regent and the contribution of our Eight Banners soldiers of the Qing Dynasty." Yan Wogong cupped his hands in the direction of Beijing, "Of course, Zheng Jiwu, Zhu Outline of Jiaxing, and Li Yuchun of Songjiang, these people are also from our country.
We are old acquaintances of Jing Lue. The last time Su Song was in trouble, it was Ben Jing Lue who led them to put down the situation together. These guys have always been loyal and attentive to the imperial court."
"In comparison, the servants in Su Songchang Town in Jiangning are very incompetent. They caused such a big mess last time, and it's only been a while since they caused another mess."
"Hangzhou needs rescue, but they can't even clean their own butts. Just a group of water thieves on the Chongming Sandbank, but they can disturb the entire Su Songchang Town and all the green camps, and even let others seize seven or eight cities."
"Governor of Jiangning, Tu Guobao, Admiral of Su Song, Wu Shengzhao, Commander-in-Chief of Zhenjiang, Yang Chengzu, Commander-in-Chief of Suzhou, and Jiading Deputy General Li Chengdong, are these people here?"
Tu Guobao and others hurried forward, all of them looking disgraced.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Yan Wogong pointed at them and yelled, "It was a waste of so much money and food from the imperial court, can your green camps be used anymore? Every one of them has a wine bag and rice bag!"
"Now I will give you a chance to atone for your sins. You five, immediately mobilize your Green Battalion. I will give you ten days to capture the Chongming Sands and wipe out all the water thieves above."
"The five of you, with more than 20,000 people in the Green Camp under your command, won't tell me that you can't capture just a sandbank in the middle of the river, right?"
Tu Guobao was a little panicked. Is Chongming a mere sandbank?
It was a nice sandbank in the middle of the river, but the problem was that there were many Ming naval forces stationed on it. It was said that the troops were strong and the horses were strong. Among them, the big bird warships and the artillery on each ship exceeded the artillery of Fubiao.
The most important thing is that they currently lack a navy. Can they just recruit some merchant ships and cargo ships to transport troops to fight?
I'm afraid that it will be sunk in the river without even touching the shore of Chongming.
However, Tu Guobao was smarter and did not speak out immediately.
Wu Shengzhao couldn't hold himself back any longer. He told the truth about the difficulties. Then Yan Wogong pointed at his nose and directly removed him from his post as Admiral Su Song and demoted him to the rank of commander-in-chief.
"Anyone else who feels that they are in difficulty or can't fight, please come forward!"
"Who else?" Yan Wogong glanced at several people.
The unruly Tu Guobao and the fierce Li Chengdong did not dare to face this gaze and lowered their heads one after another.
"Ten days, this guide only gives you ten days."
Tu Guobao and others had no choice but to agree, but they cursed in their hearts. Isn't this an impossible task?
In ten days, it would be difficult to gather the troops and rush to Liuhe Fort on the other side of Chongming.
