Over the years, the Spring Festival has been the most important festival in China, and even if every family is poor, they must clean up, prepare a little food, and celebrate well.However, for the soldiers of the Ming army, the New Year of 1649 may not be very easy.Not to mention the soldiers fighting abroad, the battle situation is not too optimistic.At this time, it was already late December, and with the surrender of Zheng Zhilong, the Qing army controlled by Duoduo had reached 130,000.More than 53,000 Ming troops could only continue to garrison Ningde, and did not dare to continue to move forward, and uneasy emotions spread among the Ming army.In order to stabilize the morale of the army and prevent the soldiers from having extra thoughts, Zhao Ming ordered the soldiers to keep practicing, while he gathered in the commander's tent with everyone to discuss the current situation.In the big tent of the Chinese army, there is a sand table in the middle, and Zhu Yihai, Zhao Ming and others surround the sand table."
In the current situation, we can't advance, and we can't retreat, so what can we do?"
Zhu Yihai breathed a sigh of relief.Zhao Ming also said with a calm face: "The Qing army occupies Fujing, more than 100,000 troops, Chen soldiers are on the front line of Fuzhou, and we are waiting for 50,000 people, and it is difficult to defeat the Qing soldiers when they come forward, so it is said that they cannot advance."
If we retreat, the Qing army will gain a firm foothold in Fujian, Zhejiang will be besieged by the Qing army on three sides, and it will inevitably be unable to hold on to western Zhejiang and southern Zhejiang, and if our army retreats, more than 100,000 troops will be able to pull out their hands.This is said to be irreversible!
”At present, the Ming army is in a dilemma because of Zheng Zhilong's surrender, if it can't break the situation, I am afraid that it will be the same as in history, there will be a big collapse, until Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo joined the camp, and they barely stabilized the war situation.Everyone looked at the sand table, all of them were sad, Wu Zhaosheng said: "Duoduo's more than 100,000 troops are gathered in Fuzhou, since we can't win, we should be ready to retreat and prepare to deal with the encirclement and suppression of the Qing army on three sides."
Now that the army is stationed here, it is not a long-term solution, and I propose to withdraw to Wenzhou. ”Such a stalemate is indeed not a way, and when Duoduo integrates the Fujian army, the situation of the Zhejiang army will only become more and more dangerous.Xia Wanchun listened to Wu Zhaosheng's words, and said: "Wu Duzhen's words, I dare not agree with my humble position.In the current situation, there is no way to recover from a step back, and only then can there be a glimmer of life. ”Wu Zhaosheng's face was unhappy, "How does the Xia Jian Army want to march, can it defeat the 130,000 Qing army with 50,000 Zhejiang troops?"
”Xia Wanchun was about to speak, Ding Weiyue came in, walked to Zhao Ming's ear and whispered, Zhao Ming's expression changed immediately.Seeing this, everyone's hearts sank, and Zhu Yihai said in a deep voice: "Bo'an, isn't it the Qing army that killed you?"
”Zhao Ming shook his head and reported with his fists clenched: "Your Highness, it is He Wencheng who is back!"
”Before the Zhejiang army entered Fujian, Zhu Yihai sent He Wencheng to Fujian first in order to contact Longwu.Since then, everyone has no news of He Wencheng, and they don't know the situation of Emperor Longwu, whether he fled to Ganzhou and transferred to Huguang.Zhao Ming and others rebelled in Ningde and refused to retreat, a very important reason was because they didn't know the news of Longwu yet.If Longwu and others arrived in Ganzhou, moved to Huguang, and integrated the anti-Qing forces in the southwest, perhaps the Ming army would still have a chance to stabilize its position."
Where is Chang Gung coming back?"
Zhu Yihai was a little surprised, and hurriedly said, "Let him come in." ”Not long after, Ding Weiyue brought in a person, wearing a long robe and a hat, and entered the tent in the dust.The man took off his hat, wrapped a turban around his head, his face was full of wind and frost, and when he saw Zhu Yihai and the others, he saluted and said: "Your Highness, Brother Bo'an, Zhang Duzhen, Wu Duzhen." ”When Zhu Yihai and Zhao Ming looked at him, they knew that it was not easy for him to pass through the area occupied by the Qing army all the way to Ningde."
Aiqing has worked hard all the way!"
Zhu Yihai patted him on the shoulder and sighed.Zhu Yihai's care made He Wencheng's heart sour, and in order to rush to Ningde, he not only took off his robe and changed into a long shirt, but also shaved his hair."
Your Highness, Your Majesty is trapped in Ruijin, and the situation is critical, please rescue Your Highness!"
He Wencheng did not forget his mission and said urgently.Everyone in the tent was silent, and there was still a trace of fantasy in their hearts, Longwu had fled from Fujian and entered southern Jiangnan, and he didn't want to be caught up by the Qing army."
Zheng Zhilong should be damned!"
Li Yuanyin gritted his teeth.After Wu Zhaosheng looked at everyone's expressions, he said: "Your Majesty is trapped in Ruijin, hundreds of miles away from us, how can we defeat more than 100,000 Qing troops and save Your Majesty."
Is this simply impossible?
”Zhu Yihai and the others were also silent for a while, not even Xia Wanchun, Ruijin is already in Jiangxi, and it is too difficult for the Ming army to break through the obstruction of more than 100,000 Qing troops and rescue Ruijin."
Your Majesty, if Ruijin City is broken, Your Majesty will lose, my Ming Dynasty will inevitably lose morale, and after the Qing army breaks through Ruijin, it will definitely take advantage of the situation to take Ganzhou west and invade Huguang.So much at stake!
”Seeing everyone's reaction, He Wencheng immediately said in a hurry.Zhu Yihai's face was gloomy, but Zhao Ming suddenly waved his hand and said, "Your Highness, we are not completely without a chance!"
”Zhao Mingjin has won battles for a long time over the years, and it can be said that he is a wonderful man in the Ming army, and he is a victorious general of the Ming Dynasty, and his brilliance is dazzling.When Zhu Yihai and the others heard this, they immediately raised their eyebrows, "What can Bo'an do?"
”Zhao Ming said in a deep voice: "Duoduo appeased Fujian, the Zheng family's initial investment in the army was not stable, although the Qing army had more than 100,000, but the main force was only 60,000 elite Qing troops, and the gap with our strength was not large.In addition, Fujian has many mountains and few fields, and grain cannot be self-sufficient, so the Qing army poured into Fujian, and there must not be much grain and grass. ”Speaking of this, Zhao Ming walked to the sand table, and suddenly pointed to Xianxia Pass and said: "Some time ago, Li Duzhen defeated Zhang Cunren in Yanzhou, and the Qing army in Hangzhou retreated to Tonglu to dare to continue to invade western Zhejiang.If Li Duzhen is ordered to send troops to attack Xianxialing and cut off the Qing army, Duoduo grain and grass will inevitably be in a hurry!
”Zhu Yihai frowned and said: "Fujian's eight mountains, one water and one field, there is indeed a shortage of food, but Zheng Zhilong is rich and rivals the country, presumably the Zheng family has already stockpiled a large number of military rations and materials."
Now that Zheng Zhilong has surrendered, if Duoduo is short of military rations, won't he ask the Zheng family for it?
”Zhao Ming sneered: "With the temperament of the Zheng family, they will definitely not take the initiative to contribute, if Duoduo takes it, Zheng Jun's military heart will inevitably be shaken, and our opportunity will come!"
”Zhu Yihai and the others pondered for a while and understood what Zhao Ming meant, if the grain and materials from outside could not be transported into Fujian, and the Qing army wanted to fight in Fujian, it would have to obtain money and grain on the spot.In Fujian, the Zheng family is the richest, and Duoduo naturally wants to find the Zheng family, and Zheng Zhilong and the Zheng family have heavy troops, and they defect to the Manchu Qing Dynasty not to contribute to the Manchu Dynasty, but to keep their family business, and expand to get some benefits from the Manchu Qing Dynasty.Zheng Zhilong put the Qing army in because the Qing army allowed him to be the king of the three provinces and continue to guard Fujian and Guangdong, but now the king of the three provinces does not, Duoduo also pins on the wealth of the Zheng family, and the vast majority of the Zheng family will not do it.In this way, Duoduo will have a conflict with the Zheng family, and Zhao Ming will have an opportunity.Zhu Yihai nodded, "I created a contradiction between Duoduo and the army, but how to defeat Duoduo?"
”Zhao Ming said in a deep voice: "Tempt the enemy head-on, outflank by sea!"
