Chapter 351: Huguang asks for help


It was night, and there was no sleep inside and outside Hangzhou.The Qing soldiers cleaned up the battlefield until dawn, Ma Guanghui ordered to cut off the heads of hundreds of Ming troops in the urn city, and then hung them at the head of the city, and Zhang Cunren ordered the Qing army to step up preparations to prevent the Ming army from attacking the city with anger.After dawn, the Ming army reported Zhu Yihai, the generals of the Ming army were furious, Fang Guoan rode out of the camp, and saw the hundreds of heads hanging on the city with a clairvoyant mirror, as well as Fang Shiyan's head, he was furious, scolded under the city for half an hour, Fang pulled his horse back to the camp, and went straight to the Ming army commander's tent.In the city of Hangzhou, the Qing soldiers patrolled back and forth, and the people carried rolling stones and sassal trees to the city, a busy scene.In the city, in a spacious hall, there were eight banner generals wearing armor, and green battalion generals wearing black official robes and red-topped hats.In the middle of the hall, a person seven feet long, wearing a black official robe, a large string of beads on his chest, but he did not wear a hat, revealing a blue scalp, and a shaved face, it was Zhang Cunren, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang in the Qing court.At this time, Zhang Cunren looked at Ma Guanghui and smiled: "In the battle last night, Ma Junmen made great contributions, and this official will ask the regent for Ma Junmen." ”Ma Guanghui's face was quite proud, but he said modestly: "This is all Zhu Yihai, Zhao Zamao and others vainly trying to make a big deal with the small, so they gave me this opportunity to be loyal to the Qing Dynasty." ”Although Ma Guanghui killed Ma Degong and handed Shaoxing to Zhao Zamao, Zhang Cunren knew that even if he had something to hide, the regent and the Manchurian nobles would not blame him, and maybe he would be reused and promoted."

Zhu Yihai and Zhao Zamao are trying to take advantage of it, but if it is this official, it will be the same!"

Zhang Cunren bowed slightly, and then he was quite excited, and his eyes burst with light, "Last night, our army frustrated the thief army's front, and greatly boosted the morale of our army, as long as the army sticks to Hangzhou, and drags him for another month or two, the morale of the thief army will inevitably be exhausted."

Prince Xun is in a deep ditch and high gully, and he is stationed in Ningguo, Huzhou, Suzhou and other places, and is waiting for this time.At that time, more than 100,000 troops will suddenly rush to the city, and they will be able to defeat the thief army in one fell swoop. ”The Zhejiang Ming army defeated Zhang Cunren's attacks many times, and even annihilated the main force of the Qing army in Fujian, which made Zhang Cunren feel a little panicked, but Zhang Cunren was at ease first.Although it was only a small victory, killing less than 1,000 Ming troops, it stabilized the morale of the soldiers in the city.Ma Guanghui also smiled: "There are 50,000 elite divisions in the city, and the thief army is only more than 100,000 people.This time, the Qing Dynasty will be able to repeat the last battle of Hangzhou and defeat the thief army in one fell swoop.If the main force of the thief army can be annihilated this time, the army will take advantage of the situation to collect the whole of Zhejiang and attack Fujian. ”Zhang Cunren smiled, but then immediately instructed everyone, "In this battle, the official is nine out of ten, but Zhao Zamao has a lot of bad ideas, so we can't be unprepared."

If you capsize in the gutter, you will be wronged!

”Everyone couldn't help but bow their heads frequently when they heard the words, Zhao Zamao was very yin, the iron stabbing cannon, grenades, and coffins to blow up the city were all tricks he used, and he really needed to be careful.At that moment, the generals received the order and were about to prepare, when a general suddenly broke in from outside and shouted: "Zhongtang, the thief army outside the city is about to attack the city!"

”Zhang Cunren and the generals, who had already stood up and were about to leave, couldn't help but stop again.Zhang Cunren sat down again, was silent for a while, and said half-loudly: "It seems that Zhu Yihai and Zhao Zamao are angry!"

”After speaking, he looked at everyone and said with a smile: "The thief army is not well prepared, so they came to attack the city, just in time to meet the attack."

Ma Junmen, the city defense will be handed over to you!

”Ma Guanghui came out of the ranks, sneered and clenched his fists: "Lord Zhongtang rest assured!"

”On the 27th, the attack did not last long, the Ming army captured the head of the hanging city, Zhu Yihai saw that the soldiers could not capture the city, so he again ordered a hasty withdrawal.When the Qing army saw that the Ming army had been repulsed, they cheered, and they increased their confidence in holding Hangzhou.When Ma Guanghui was at the head of the city, he was quite proud, but the Ming army outside the city formed a phalanx to pay tribute to the dead Ming soldiers, and a roar suddenly broke out in the military array.Wave after wave of angry scolding came into the city, making Zhang Cunren, who was eating in the governor's mansion, frown, and the fat on the chopsticks fell on the table without knowing it.The Qing soldiers who cheered at the head of the city were also in their hearts, and the Qing army, who was originally quite proud, couldn't help but be a little worried, whether they were too ridiculed and completely angered the Ming army.Ma Guanghui looked at the momentum of the Ming army under the city, and he was also a little frightened, and understood that he really annoyed the Zhejiang army, and if he fell into the hands of the Zhejiang army, it was estimated that the end would be miserable.The voice of the Zhejiang army made him panic for a while, his Adam's apple squirmed, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, ordered the soldiers to guard the city, and hurried down the city.The camp of the Zhejiang army, within Zhu Yihai's tent."

Why did Your Highness collect troops, if you attack fiercely, I will definitely slash this thief today!"

Fang Guoan slammed his helmet on the chair and scolded.Zhu Yihai knew his mood, and the generals were silent.I don't believe much in Ma Guanghui and Zhao Ming, Zhu Yihai is actually suspicious, but there is no way to quickly capture Hangzhou at the moment, and with Ma Guanghui, he has become Hangzhou, and the loss of the defeated Ming army is not big.Compared with the risks and gains, Zhu Yihai and Zhao Ming both chose to gamble, but they didn't expect Fang Guoan to be greedy and let Fang Shiyan take the lead."

General, the matter has come to this, please mourn!"

Zhang Mingzhen persuaded.Zhu Yihai also said at this time: "Although the city has not been captured today, the soldiers have the same hatred for the enemy, and the attack in the coming day will definitely break the city and avenge the soldiers!"

”That being said, the city of Hangzhou has thick walls, perfect defenses, and sufficient garrisons, so it is not easy to take it down.Today, the Ming army tried to attack, the loss of soldiers and horses was not small, but failed to board the city, if there was no Mandahai 130,000 troops in the periphery, the Ming army launched a ruthless attack, maybe able to break through the city.But now, the Ming army did not dare to attack with all its strength, for fear that halfway through the battle, the main force of the Qing army would suddenly arrive, and it would inevitably be another rout.When everyone in the tent was silent, Lu Shikui, the commander of the prince's army, suddenly walked into the tent and reported to Zhu Yihaiyu: "Your Highness, you are sending a messenger here. ”Zhu Yihai and the others were shocked, worried that something would happen to Huguang, and hurriedly asked, "Where are the people?"

”Lu Shikui said: "Just entered the camp!"

”Zhu Yihai tidied up the dragon robe and said in a deep voice: "Please come and meet!"

”Not long after, a dusty official entered the big tent and immediately bowed: "The minister is exposed, meet His Royal Highness the Prince!"

”With that, he presented a letter.Zhu Yihai took it, unfolded it, and immediately sank his expression.Zhu Yihai closed the letter and looked at everyone with a calm face: "Huguang is in danger, Your Majesty and the imperial court hope that we can quickly pull out Hangzhou, shake Jiangnan, and force the Qing army to withdraw from Huguang!"

”When Zhao Ming and the others heard this, their faces sank.
