The city of Hangzhou is high and thick, and it is not easy to attack, and Huguang is urging Hangzhou to go down quickly.This made Zhao Ming frown, and the Zhejiang generals were also embarrassed.How should this battle be fought?
Not to mention that it is difficult to capture a hard attack, it may also suffer a surprise attack from Mandahai, resulting in a major defeat.besieged but not attacked, trapped Hangzhou, and Huguang may not be able to hold on.This put Zhu Yihai and the generals of the Zhejiang system in a dilemma, the attack could not be defeated, and if they did not attack, they could not shake the world, and the situation of the Guangqing army was divided.Zhu Yihai had a calm face, "What do you think?"
”After the Ming army of the Zhejiang Department raised troops, it marched all the way to the city of Hangzhou, which was quite smooth in the early stage, and when it reached the city of Hangzhou, the disadvantage of insufficient preparation and insufficient troops gradually appeared.Zhao Ming and the others glanced at each other, and the old marshal Zhang Mingzhen asked, "Lord Lu, what is the situation in Huguang?"
”Zhao Ming also asked: "Can you tell you the details?"
”When Lu Kuang heard this, he hurriedly said earnestly: "Your Highness, all the great marshals!
The Qing army gathered troops from four provinces, and more than 300,000 troops attacked Huguang.Now that the war has been going on for more than two months, Jingzhou and Yuezhou have been besieged, and the news is unknown.The Qing army's vanguard had already reached the Miluo River, and could jump over the Miluo River at any time and go straight to Changsha.Now the He Pavilion Department and many courtiers intend to persuade His Majesty to move to Hengyang and re-enter Liangguang, blocking the Pavilion Department with the intention of holding Changsha, but the Qing army is strong and the future is worrying!
Only His Royal Highness and all the marshals can conquer Hangzhou and shake the world to solve the crisis of the imperial court!
”The Qing army advanced to the Miluo River, only two hundred miles away from Changsha, at this time the emperor withdrew, then the entire Huguang must have collapsed.Now between the Ming and Qing dynasties, from west to east, Huguang has a Shun system, Jiangxi has more than 10,000 Ji, and Zhejiang has Zhu Yihai, so as to hold on to the Manchu Qing Dynasty.If Huguang is occupied by the Qing army and the Ming army is disabled, then the Qing army will tear a big gap in the defense line of the Ming army.If the Qing army took advantage of the situation to break into Liangguang, then the Qing army would be able to outflank Fujian and Zhejiang, and the overall situation would collapse again.After hearing this, Zhao Ming couldn't help but be silent for a moment, then turned to Zhu Yihai and saluted and asked, "What does Your Highness mean?"
”After listening to Lu Kuang's words, he knew that Huguang was indeed in danger, with the Qing army approaching outside, and the ministers inside shaking the army's heart.Zhu Yihai said in a deep voice: "Huguang has lost, endangering the two Guangzhous and shaking the Ming Dynasty."
At this critical juncture, can Lone still sit idly by?
”Hearing this, then there is only a fight.All the generals of the Zhejiang army, except for the angry Fang Guoan, the rest of the generals bowed their heads.Hangzhou is such a strong city, even if it is stormed, the blood of the Zhejiang army will be drained.Zhang Mingzhen clenched his fists and said: "Since His Royal Highness is determined, the ministers are willing to serve the death force."
It's just that how should Hangzhou be attacked, and how should Mandahai be prepared?
”Zhu Yihai walked to the sand table and beckoned everyone to come over, "Let's think about the strategy together!"
”Everyone looked at the sand table, but they were all worried, how could they come up with any good strategy.At this time, Zhao Ming said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, if the army wants to seize Hangzhou, it must contain Mandahai, so that the army can let go of its hands and feet to attack Hangzhou!"
”"Mandahai is in the north of Hangzhou, with this army of soldiers and horses, the Lone King really can't attack Hangzhou with all his strength, and he must always pay attention to Mandahai's movements!"
Zhu Yihai looked at Zhao Ming, "The Qing family has a strategy to contain Man Dahai!"
”Zhao Ming bowed slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Yes!"
”Zhao Ming paused, his face was heavy, "So far, only the minister can take the risk of re-entering the Yangtze River to contain the army of Mandahai." ”Since Zhao Ming entered the Yangtze River, the Qing army began to strengthen the river defenses and build forts along the river to block the river.Now it is very difficult for Zhao Ming's sailors to enter the Yangtze River, and the wooden warships and the batteries are bombarded, and there is no advantage.Zhao Ming originally did not plan to risk breaking into the Yangtze River, but in the current situation, if he did not make a move, the Zhejiang army would have no chance to take Hangzhou at all, and it would not even be able to attack Hangzhou with all its might."
The Qing family wants to re-enter the Yangtze River!"
Zhu Yihai exclaimed.At the beginning of the rout in eastern Zhejiang, Duoduo pursued and killed the Zhejiang soldiers to Wentai, and it was Zhao Ming who entered the Yangtze River, shook the world, and relieved the siege for Zhu Yihai.However, at the beginning, the Qing army did not know the importance of river defense, and there was almost no defense along the Yangtze River, but now there are many forts on both sides of the river, and there are heavy troops stationed on the river, and the sailors sail into the Yangtze River, which will become a live target for the Qing army.Now that Zhao Ming has taken the initiative to re-enter the Yangtze River, it can be said that he is taking risks and preparing to bear huge losses.Zhao Ming nodded, puffed up his chest, and his face was resolute, "Today's plan, only by re-entering the Yangtze River can we contain Mandahai and fight for opportunities for the army."
For the sake of the world, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, for the sake of His Royal Highness, the minister is willing to take risks. ”Zhu Yihai couldn't help but be moved when he saw this, and took Zhao Ming's hand, "The Qing family is really a big stone pillar."
If the Qing family enters the Yangtze River, the lone king will definitely go all out to take Hangzhou!
”North of Hangzhou, south of Taihu Lake, Huzhou Mansion.Earlier, when the Taihu Rebels were active, Huzhou was broken by the rebels several times because of its proximity to the Taihu Lake, but since the Qing army broke through the Taihu Lake Water Village, the leader of the rebel army Wu Yi was killed, and the Taihu rebels were wiped out by the Qing army one by one.At this time, the land south of the Yangtze River was basically pacified by the Qing army, and the people were accustomed to the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the local area was relatively peaceful, but with the large number of Qing troops entering the city, the tranquility was broken, and the Qing army showed its cruel and fierce appearance.In the city of Huzhou, countless Qing soldiers and soldiers haunt all over the city, officers rob people's houses, soldiers rape women in an endless stream, every day there are people carrying women's corpses to the government to shout grievances, but the Manchu Qing prefect does not dare to manage the Eight Banners at all, not only does not speak for the people, but let the officials scatter the people.In the city, a large mansion was occupied by Mandahai, and many Qing soldiers sat in the hall and feasted.At this time, the eyes of the Qing generals in the room were all focused on one person.This man was about thirty years old, burly and strong, extremely powerful, and it was Man Dahai, the prince of Man Xinjin."
Now the thief army has reached the south of Hangzhou, and it is reported that the first battle was defeated by Zhang Cunren.This king is stationed here, and when he has been trapped in the city for a long time and the soldiers and horses are tired, he will suddenly kill him, and he will definitely defeat Zhu Yihai's main force in one fell swoop!
According to the scout's message, that Zhao Manzi was also in the army of thieves attacking Hangzhou, and this king must have killed him with his own hands this time. ”Man Dahai's eyes burst into light, he had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time."
Hangzhou has 50,000 elite soldiers stationed in Zhang Zhongtang, and the thief army is only more than 100,000, only twice the strength, and he doesn't want to take Hangzhou.We only need to go deep and high, and when the thieves are tired, we can attack!
”The Han army is white-flaged and solid-mountain, and Shen Zhixiang said with a smile.After Man Dahai was defeated by Zhao Ming, his personality was much more cautious, but at this time he showed considerable self-confidence, "The thief army is more than 100,000, and the strength is not as good as this king, so he wants to capture Hangzhou, which is really delusional."
This time, if this king defeats the main force of the thief army in one fell swoop and takes advantage of the situation to collect Zhejiang and Fujian, the credit will not be worse than that of Prince Su!
”Shen Zhixiang said: "However, our army is in the north of Hangzhou, what if Chongming Haikou enters the Yangtze River and threatens Jiangning?"
”Man Dahai sneered, "There are only a few thousand people in Chongming Haikou, there are many forts along the Yangtze River, and there are large armies stationed there, not to mention threatening Jiangning, they can't even threaten Zhenjiang!"
”"Haha~" Everyone laughed when they heard this, this time is different from the past, the river waterproof division of the Manchu Qing Dynasty also has some strength, and they are no longer so afraid of the Ming army's water division.The laughter echoed in the hall, and at this moment, a person broke into the hall and shouted urgently: "Lord Wang, urgent report, Jingjiang Fort has fallen!"
