Outside the Juyi Hall on Sanshan Island, Zhao Ming hurried back, and Hou Tong happened to be waiting outside."
What's going on, sir?"
Zhao Ming said urgently.Hou Tong once saw Zhao Ming and hurried to meet him, "The person who came is Li Yuanyin, who said that he brought the news that the Qing army was heading south, and the chief helmsman was afraid of fraud, so he asked people to find you back!"
”"Li Yuanyin?"
Zhao Ming was surprised.Hou Yu once said sideways: "Go in and talk!"
”Zhao Ming nodded, and walked into the hall with Hou Tongzeng, and many people had already gathered in the hall, and the main leaders of the Heaven and Earth Society had come.Wu Yi saw Zhao Ming coming back, and said, "Bo'an, you came back just in time!"
”"Chief helmsman!"
Zhao Ming hugged his fists and saluted, then his eyes swept into the hall, and after doing so, he fell on the body of a young man dressed in black and with a strong figure, it was Li Yuanyin.Zhao Ming had a deep impression of Li Yuanyin, and his eyes couldn't help but light up, he had asked He Wencheng to focus on Li Yuanyin's work, and Li Yuanyin's appearance on Sanshan Island showed that He Wencheng had persuaded Li Yuanyin.At this time, Wu Yi immediately raised his hand and said, "Brother Li, Boan has returned, you can say it again!"
”Li Yuanyin stood up, arched his hand to Wu Yi, and saluted everyone in the hall, then walked to Zhao Ming, handed him a piece of bamboo and a letter, and said in a deep voice: "This is a token given to me by Brother Chang Geng, he said that when Hall Master Zhao sees this thing, he will not suspect me!"
”Zhao Ming took the bamboo, hurriedly looked at the letter, and then forwarded it to Wu Yi, only then did he bow his head slightly, and said with a calm face, "Brother Li, please speak!"
”Li Yuanyin said: "After the Qing army captured Jiangnan, they thought that the general trend was set, and the northern soldiers were not tolerant of the scorching heat in the south, so Duoduo returned north with the banner soldiers to escape the summer.Now the shaving order has made the south of the Yangtze River boiling, the eastern Zhejiang Lu Jianguo carried the banner of rebellion, and His Royal Highness the Tang King ascended the throne in Fujian and became the great emperor, which made the Manchus feel the crisis.Not long ago, Dolgon sent Kong Youde and Shen Zhixiang to the south, and recently I received news that Duoduo will also lead an army of 100,000 from Beijing, preparing to go south to sweep away the Lu Jian State and the Fujian court, and will arrive in Jiangnan in the near future.Now Nikan is preparing grain and grass for Duoduo, and I have come to inform you that I hope you can tell Lu Jian Guo and the imperial court to prepare as soon as possible!
”Speaking of this, Li Yuanyin paused, and clenched his fists, "Everyone, I have a word, and it is very offensive to say it, but if I don't say it, I am really uneasy in my heart." ”Wu Yi spoke: "There are no outsiders here, Brother Li, please speak." ”Zhao Ming also nodded and said, "Brother Li can be blunt. ”Li Yuanyin arched his hand again, "Please forgive me for being blunt, the elite soldiers of Manchuria have few opponents in recent years, and now they have broken Li Chuang, occupied the south of the Yangtze River, and are in full swing, with the strength of eastern Zhejiang and Fujian, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist."
I think that in addition to informing eastern Zhejiang and Fujian, you also need to think of some ways to prevent and contain the Qing army's southward movement, otherwise the situation may not be optimistic. ”After hearing this, everyone's hearts sank, and Zhao Ming also frowned, Duoduo 100,000 banner soldiers went south, if they were allowed to sweep away eastern Zhejiang and Fujian, Taihu Lake and Jiangyin would be over.If there was no counteroffensive by the Ming army in the south, there would be almost no hope of overthrowing the Manchu rule alone with the strength of the Jiangnan rebels in the face of the rolling general trend.Zhao Ming thought that the righteous army could only play a role in containing the Qing army and buying time and opportunities for the regular Ming army in the south.If the frontal battlefield where King Lu and Longwu were located failed and were destroyed by the Qing army, the battlefield behind enemy lines where the Jiangnan Righteous Army was located would inevitably fail.Zhao Ming said in a deep voice: "I don't know what Brother Li can do?"
”Li Yuanyin said: "The north is dilapidated, and the grain and grass for the Qing army to the south mainly come from Jiangnan and Jiangbei.Now that Nikan has been ordered to collect grain and grass in Suzhou, I suggest that you attack Suzhou and seize the military rations, so as to delay the time for Duoduo to go south. ”In the Juyi Hall, everyone was discussing, and at this time, Wu Yi waited for Li Yuanyin to finish speaking, and after pondering for a while, he waved his hand and said: "Brother Li's suggestion, we will consider it, you have worked hard all the way, go down to rest first, if we have anything, we will come to ask you again!"
”Li Yuanyin's face was a little unnatural, but he still clenched his fists and arched his hands, and then turned around and walked out of the hall.Waiting for Li Yuanyin to leave, Wu Yi said in a deep voice: "Is this person's words credible?"
”Li Chengdong slaughtered Kunshan and killed tens of thousands of people in Jiading, Wu Yi and others naturally didn't trust Li Yuanyin very much, worried that it was a plan of the Qing army.The Qing army entered the Taihu Lake and was defeated by the rebels, and the rebels in the Nikanna Lake had no choice but to try to lure the rebels out of the Taihu Lake, and then designed to encircle and annihilate.Zhao Ming arched his hand and said: "Chief helmsman, although Li Yuanyin is Li Chengdong's son, he knows a lot of loyalty, I can break through, thanks to his secret help, and there is a Chang Geng token, there should be no problem!"
”Compared with Li Chengdong, Zhao Ming still admires Li Yuanyin very much, and it was his constant persuasion in history that Li Chengdong decided to oppose the Qing Dynasty, and Zhao Ming did not doubt that he came to report the news.Wu Yi listened to Zhao Ming's words and frowned, "If Li Yuanyin's words are true, and Duoduo's 100,000 troops go south, then the Lu Jian State and the imperial court will be in danger." ”In the lobby, everyone was worried, and Hou Tong once said: "I'm afraid that not only is it dangerous in the south, but our situation will also be difficult." ”The old gentleman Lu Xiangguan said: "After the four towns of Jiangbei and Wuchang Zuozhen were surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, there were no soldiers in the imperial court.Now, even if Lu Jianguo and the imperial court have recruited some soldiers, but the time is so short, I am afraid that they have not yet formed a combat force and cannot fight with the Qing soldiers. ”Since Salhu, in the war between the Ming army and the Qing army, there have been more defeats and fewer victories.The elite Ming army outside the Guan, the best generals of the Ming Dynasty, most of them were folded in the hands of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and now the remnants of the eastern Zhejiang army are defeated, whether they can block 100,000 banner soldiers, everyone really has no confidence, and they doubt in their hearts.Zhao Ming pondered for a while, and suddenly said loudly: "Chief helmsman, everyone, now is not the time to consider whether we can fight, even if we can't fight, do we have any other choice?"
We still have to fight to the death. ”If the Qing army was allowed to destroy eastern Zhejiang and Fujian, the general trend of the world would fall to the Manchus, and no matter how much they struggled, it would still be difficult to change the situation.Everyone in the hall fell silent, Wu Yi stood up with a calm face, waved his fist and said: "Yes, the main force of the Qing army is going south, and we will die if we win, and we must buy time for eastern Zhejiang and the imperial court." ”As he spoke, Wu Yi glanced at everyone, "Everyone, I decided to attack Suzhou, what other strategies do you have." ”Zhao Ming hurriedly said: "Chief helmsman, Duoduo is going south, the Qing army is strong, if you want to block the Qing army, I think it is necessary, we will cooperate with eastern Zhejiang and Fujian."
Eastern Zhejiang and Fujian resisted head-on, and we attacked the Qing army from behind, cutting off the enemy's grain routes.Now that Duoduo is on his way south, I think we should take advantage of the Qing army's arrival to mobilize the anti-Qing forces in the entire south of the Yangtze River, first save Jiangyin, seize the granaries in various places, and strengthen the power, and when the Qing army arrives, immediately go underground, and when the Qing army goes south, then suddenly attack the rear of the Qing army, so that the Qing army can not care about each other, and it is possible to destroy the Qing army's southward movement. ”~~~~~~~ (Thanks to the big guy for finally having a 10,000 tip for a while, he became the first helmsman of this book.)Thanks to the thief Ah Qi for the tip) ()
