The Qing army withdrew!
This made Zhu Yujian and many generals unexpected.Yan Yingyuan parted the crowd and shouted, "Scout, come here!"
”Rushing into the city, the scouts who were surrounded by soldiers found Yan Yingyuan and Zhu Yujian, hurriedly turned over and dismounted, trotted over, and knelt on one knee, "Meet Your Majesty!"
”Zhu Yujian asked anxiously: "What about the withdrawal of the Qing army?"
”"Returning to Your Majesty, the minister led the deployment out of the city to investigate, and found that the Qing army camp did not move, and did not see the Qing cavalry to drive away, so he ventured close to the Qing camp, and found that the Qing army moved away and rejected the horse, knocked down the fence, and was packing up and evacuating to the north."
The scout leader replied excitedly.Zhu Yujian showed a happy look on his face, turned his head and said urgently: "What do you think?"
”Everyone's faces were happy, but they were still very cautious, and Du Yinxi said in a deep voice: "Isn't it that Sichuan has news, but it can be regarded as a journey, shouldn't it be so fast?"
”The sudden withdrawal of the Qing army made everyone have doubts in their hearts, and they were not sure whether the Qing army was really withdrawing or fake.Zhu Lujian groaned slightly, and then ordered: "The scouts continue to investigate, and be sure to confirm that the Qing army has really retreated, and before that, the defenders of all gates must be vigilant and not go out to fight without authorization, in case there is fraud." ”At the moment, the city probe the horse released, to noon ten o'clock, the probe horse returned, the Qing army all the camps have been withdrawn, the first people and horses have already crossed the Laodao River, only a small part of the broken back.On the bank of the Laodao River in the north of Changsha, the Qing army set up several pontoon bridges, and the Qing army with red-topped hats escorted hundreds of thousands of Huxiang people to cross the river.In recent years, the north has been stable, and large areas of wasteland need to be cultivated, but the Qing army kidnapped the people, not to open up the wasteland, but to distribute them to each banner as slaves, so that they become banner slaves.Now that the north is stable, there are large areas of wasteland that can be cultivated, and the people are naturally willing to cultivate by themselves, which makes the banner slaves of the Eight Banners flee.In order to safeguard the interests of the Eight Banners, the Manchu Qing Dynasty formulated a harsh escape law to restrict the escape of the flag slaves, and Geng Zhongming, one of the three Shun kings in history, even committed suicide in fear because of the fear of taking in the escaped flag slaves, which shows how much effort the Manchu Qing Dynasty made in order to prevent the flag slaves from escaping.However, although the Manchu Qing Dynasty had a strict escape law, the number of banner slaves in the banners of Beizhili was still decreasing, making it impossible for many banner people to cultivate their banner fields.At this time, although the Qing army withdrew, it took hundreds of thousands of Huxiang people captive, and they will all be escorted to the north to become the banner slaves of the Eight Banners.On the side of the Laodao River, under the banner of a pole, thousands of cavalry stood on horseback, covering the retreat of the army, ready to attack the Ming army that dared to come to pursue.Under the banner of Daxu, Kong Youde frowned, glanced at the team crossing the river, turned his head to look in the direction of Changsha City, and couldn't help sighing: "Old Geng, this time I evacuated from Changsha, I have a sense of foreboding, maybe we will never have the opportunity to set foot here in the future!"
”Geng Zhongming's face was gloomy, "Old Kong, don't talk nonsense!"
When we go east to clean up the thief army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the imperial court will inevitably order us to go to Hunan again. ”Kong Youde said: "The thief army in Zhejiang is not easy to deal with!"
Prince Xun had suffered a loss at the hands of Haikou before, and this time he should learn a lesson, plus the Qing Dynasty has been operating in Jiangsu and Zhejiang for five or six years, not to mention defeating Haikou, there should be no problem in holding Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but who would have thought, he was still defeated.Zhang Cunren is also a veteran commander who has been in battle for a long time, but he was killed by the thief army, and we were ordered to go east, and the situation is probably not optimistic. ”Geng Zhongming was said by him, and his heart was also a little bottomless, the Qing army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang was not less than the Ming army, but there were tens of thousands more, but in the end they were defeated by the Ming army and lost Hangzhou, which couldn't help but make Geng Zhongming feel that the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang was stronger than the Qing army."
Lord Qiqi, most of our army has crossed the Laodao River!"
At this time, a Qing general came over with a horse.Geng Zhongming glanced at Kong Youde when he heard this, "Old Kong, cross the river!"
”Kong Youde bowed his head slightly, and shouted in a deep voice, "After the army crosses the river, each banner will collect grain separately, and this king will loot hundreds of miles from Changsha to Yuezhou!"
”Kong Youde had a hunch that this might be his last attack on Hunan, and since this was the case, he would cherish this last opportunity and hit Hunan hard, so as not to stab Yuezhou and Wuchang in the back when the Qing Dynasty went to exterminate the Ming army in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Hunan.When the Qing army brigade crossed the Laodao River and returned to the north, the Ming army returned one after another, and Zhu Yujian was convinced that the withdrawal of the Qing army was correct.In the evening, at the head of Changsha City, countless excited voices began to shout, "Long live!"
Banzai!
Banzai!
”Zhu Yujian stood at the head of the city and received the cheers of the soldiers and civilians of Changsha.At the same time, Yan Yingyuan led 10,000 soldiers to rush out of the city and launch a pursuit.The Qing army took the initiative to retreat, and after the cavalry hall, the Ming army just chased to the Laodao River, seized some baggage and grain and grass, and hastily collected the troops and returned to the city.By mid-November, the Qing troops who had invaded Hunan withdrew one after another.In this battle, the Qing army was not able to capture Jingzhou and Changsha, but it took Yuezhou, the gateway to Hunan, and destroyed the production and people's livelihood in Hunan, taking away more than 300,000 people and 100,000 livestock, which can be said to be quite rich.Although the losses of the Longwu court were not small, Jingzhou was not lost, and it blocked the attack of the Qing army, which can be said to have stabilized the hearts of the people and gained a firm foothold in Hunan.At the end of November, the Qing army retreated, but the Huguang Ming army was exhausted and unable to fight, so it failed to take advantage of the Qing army's retreat to launch a counteroffensive.Changsha City, inside the palace.Zhu Yujian sat behind the bookcase, and He Tengjiao, Du Yinxi and others stood on both sides."
Your Majesty, according to the news from Jiangxi, the sudden retreat of the Qing army was due to the capture of Hangzhou by the Zhejiang army, the annihilation of 50,000 Qing troops, the beheading of Zhang Cunren, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and the great earthquake in the south of the Yangtze River."
He Tengjiao arched his hand and said.Zhu Yujian was happy and surprised in his heart, happy because the Ming army recovered Hangzhou and threatened Nanjing, and then the Qing army would inevitably divide heavy troops to deal with Zhu Yihai, so that the Ming army in Huguang could get a respite.Surprisingly, Zhu Yihai actually won Hangzhou, which can be described as a high achievement, if the Zhejiang army takes Nanjing again, then he is afraid that his throne will not be stable.Moreover, the Zhejiang army returned to Hangzhou, which made great contributions, and Zhu Yujian could not be rewarded.Now in the Zhejiang system, there are already two dukes, and then they are the kings of the county, and as the emperor, they are absolutely unwilling to be crowned kings unless they have to.He Tengjiao glanced up at Zhu Yujian, and suddenly saluted: "Your Majesty, this time the Zhejiang army regains Hangzhou and threatens Nanjing, and the Qing army will inevitably launch a counterattack."
The minister thought that the prince might not be able to defeat him, and the imperial court should send a scholar to supervise the teacher to guide Zhejiang to resist the Qing Dynasty!
