Before dawn, the Manchu officials in Zhenjiang City were woken up by the soldiers.On the fifth watch, about four o'clock in the morning, the lights were bright in the line of the general Zhengnan, and more than a dozen Manchu and Han generals and officials hurried to the festival hall.At this time, everyone had an ominous premonition in their hearts, guessing that something big should have happened, and whispering in the side hall.Liu Liangzuo asked, "The prince summoned us here, what happened to him?"
”"Isn't it Zhao Zamao who is moving again?"
Someone wondered.Everyone was gossiping, and the general Han Dai looked at Li Benshen and said: "Mr.
Li, I heard that Ma Guanghui ran back from Zhejiang, and you are on duty tonight, do you know what is going on?"
”"What did Ma Guanghui do when he came back from Zhejiang?"
The surrounding Qing generals listened to the words of the Han Dynasty and immediately fried the pot.Li Benshen saw that everyone was looking at him, but he shook his head, "On the fourth watch, Ma Junmen went to the south gate of Zhenjiang, and I hung him to the city, but he only said that the military situation was urgent, and he didn't say what was going on, so he went directly to Xingyuan, I don't know what happened!"
”There was a sudden burst of discussion in the hall, and everyone was speculating about what happened in Zhejiang, whether it was that the war was not going well.Zhang Cunren, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, had 50,000 troops, and Hangzhou had been run by the Qing army for more than five years.Just when everyone was puzzled, one of the guards shouted: "The prince has arrived!"
”Many Qing generals and Qing officials in the hall hurriedly flicked their horseshoe sleeves, slapped them twice, and knelt on one knee: "Greetings to Prince Xun and General Zhengnan." ”Man Dahai walked into the lobby quickly, followed by a person, it was Ma Guanghui who was full of old fists by Man Dahai.Man Dahai walked to the handsome seat and sat down, his expression was a little worried, he waved his hand without being lazy, "Get up!"
”"Thank you, Lord Wang!"
Many Qing generals stood up, and some people quietly looked up at Man Dahai, seeing that his expression was not good, his face was heavy, and when he saw Ma Guanghui, who was beaten like a pig's head, they were secretly surprised in their hearts, could it be that the war in Zhejiang was unfavorable?
While everyone was thinking wildly, Man Dahai gritted his teeth and said: "This king called you here because this king received a report from Ma Guanghui, just a few days ago, that is, on the evening of the 15th, Zhu Yihai captured Hangzhou!"
”"How is this possible?
Could it be that Zhang Cunren did not obey the order of the prince and fought on his own?
”Han Dai exclaimed.Many Qing generals were also shocked, and their first reaction was not to believe that Hangzhou would be occupied by the Ming army.After all, a fortified city of 50,000 people, without 200,000 or 300,000 people besieging it for a few months, how could it be so easy to fall, unless Zhang Cunren was dizzy, abandoned the city, and went out of the city to fight with the Ming army.In the dispute between Chu and Han, Peng Yue attacked and harassed Xiang Yu's rear, Xiang Yu was furious, and prepared to go to exterminate it in person, leaving Sima Cao to defend Chenggao, and warned him not to fight, just hold for 15 days, and the army will definitely defeat Peng Yue and return to help.But I didn't want to, after Xiang Yu left, Liu Bangjun came to challenge, Cao Yu was furious, did not listen to Xiang Yu's order, led troops to cross the water, Liu Bangjun took the opportunity to launch an attack, broke Cao Qiao's army, and put Xiang Yu in a dilemma.The current situation is somewhat similar to the battle of Chenggao, all everyone can think of is that Zhang Cunren went to war and was defeated by the Ming army, otherwise with Zhu Yihai's three melons and two dates, how could he capture Hangzhou."
It's not Zhang Cunren who fights!"
Man Dahai shook his head, he was really not in the mood to explain to everyone, so he looked at Ma Guanghui angrily and said angrily: "You come to tell everyone what's going on!"
”Ma Guanghuizheng touched his swollen cheeks, and hurriedly explained the matter of flooding the city by the Ming army, and then taking rafts and ships to capture Hangzhou.Of course, during the commentary, Ma Guanghui appropriately processed himself, emphasizing that he resisted desperately, and finally saw the general trend before he broke out of the encirclement and traveled thousands of miles to give Manda a poster letter.After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be in an uproar, and each general looked at each other, showing a look of extreme shock.The Ming army captured Hangzhou, 50,000 Qing troops were wiped out, and did not cause any losses to the Ming army.If the Ming army attacked Hangzhou and captured the city, the Ming army would inevitably suffer heavy casualties and would definitely not be able to invade Jiangnan again.Now that the Ming army is replacing the army with water, and it has captured Hangzhou without paying much price, will they take the opportunity to attack Jiangnan on a large scale and kill Jiangning?"
Lord Wang, if that's the case, Jiangnan is in crisis!"
Han Dai snorted.Man Dahai said angrily: "This king doesn't know that Jiangnan is in danger!"
Did the king bring you so early to hear you frighten the king?
”Han Dai hurriedly lowered his head, and the people in the lobby who were exclaiming were immediately silent, and for a while, the needle drop could be heard.The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became silent, Man Dahai's cheeks agitated, and seeing that no one made a sound, he couldn't get angry, so he could only say: "This king summoned you to wait because I wanted to hear what countermeasures you have, to help this king, to help Daqing tide over the difficulties." ”In the lobby, the generals were silent for a moment before the sound of conversation gradually appeared.The news of the fall of Hangzhou was too shocking, and everyone's minds were stunned just now, like being struck by lightning, it was a blank, and now they are gradually coming back to their senses.The Han Dynasty was Manchurian, and everyone present, Man Dahai was the most anxious, he could rank second, and Ma Guanghui could rank third.Han Dai said: "Lord Wang, for today's plan, the first is to quickly deploy defenses to prevent the thief army from taking advantage of the situation to attack Jiangnan.The second is to quickly report the military situation to the imperial court and ask the imperial court to make a decision. ”Ma Guanghui said: "Lord Wang, after the slave escaped from Hangzhou, the thieves have been chasing after him, and now his vanguard should have arrived in Huzhou!"
”Man Dahai quickly stood up when he heard this, walked to the map on the side, stared at it for a moment, and then said with a gloomy face: "Huzhou is located in the north of Hangzhou, which is the gateway to central Zhejiang, and it is also the main road from Zhejiang to Jiangning.If Zhu Yihai takes Huzhou, then Zhao Zamao will take Wujin, so Su Song will be finished, and Jiangning will have no more peaceful days!
”After speaking, Man Dahai had a gloomy face, pacing back and forth in the lobby, and there was no follow-up.The Manchu generals saw that his face sank like water, but they couldn't guess what he was thinking, only Han Dai stepped forward and said boldly: "Lord Wang, Zhejiang has fallen, Jiangnan is in danger, such a big thing is unbearable." ”Hangzhou fell, Zhejiang was occupied by the Ming army, and 50,000 Qing soldiers were exterminated by the Ming army.When the news reached Beijing, Mandahai could imagine Dorgon's anger and knew that he would inevitably be punished.Man Dahai originally thought that he would rely on his own forces to solve the current crisis, turn the tide of the war, and report to the Manchu court after defeating the Ming army, but now Man Dahai only has 130,000 troops, and the Ming army should have grown to about 150,000 soldiers.Man Dahai glanced at the map and knew that he could not solve the problem at hand, which made him very painful.Previously, he was defeated by Zhao Zamao in Shandong, and was taken into custody of the army, and was idle in Beijing for a period of time, this time Dolgon gave him a chance to guard Jiangnan again, he knew what the consequences would be if this beating report was up.At this time, Man Dahai listened to Han Dai's words, his mind was broken by his words, his face was cloudy, and after being silent for a while, he could only bow his head in pain, "Li Benshen, your department will immediately enter Wujin, Han Dai, you will lead troops to reinforce Huzhou, and then order people to report to Beijing quickly, and ask the court to send troops to help!"
