Emperor Longwu appointed any Tengjiao supervisor because of his trust and favor, and regarded him as an imperial party cadre and a person who could be relied on.When Longwu was the vassal king in Nanyang, he had a relationship with He Tengjiao and was an acquaintance.After Longwu ascended the throne in Fujian, the holy decree came to Huguang, and He Tengjiao first took the lead in supporting it, which established his position in Longwu's heart.This Northern Expedition was originally a great opportunity for He Tengjiao to make meritorious contributions and strengthen the prestige of the imperial court and Longwu.However, He Tengjiao did a mess, not only narrowly failed and fell into danger for the imperial court, but also lost control of the army, making Longwu extremely passive.Longwu was in Changsha, received a recital from Plug Yinxi, and saw the report of the Jinyi Wei secret saucer, and for a while it was like being struck by lightning.After he reacted, he immediately sensed the seriousness of the situation, and decided to come to Yuezhou in person to wipe He Tengjiao's ass and stabilize the army.At that time, the internal official Pang Tianshou and others all spoke out to dissuade them, fearing that the army would be unfavorable to the emperor, but Longwu overrode public opinion and only led 300 cavalry, so he hurried to Yuezhou City.This time, Longwu was really disappointed with He Tengjiao, first, He Tengjiao was unfavorable to the war and betrayed his trust, and second, the army mutinied, which made him lose control of the army, and it was easy to rebel if he didn't deal with it, and it would damage the majesty of the court, making Longwu extremely passive.This will make Longwu need to spend a lot of effort and energy to restore his majesty in the army.In order not to stimulate the army, and at the same time, Longwu felt that He Tengjiao was indeed not suitable for leading the troops, so he immediately decided to send He Tengjiao back to Changsha, but Longwu himself stayed in Yuezhou.Gu Yinxi and the others were not Jinyi Wei Tiqi, but Zhu Yujian, the Emperor of Longwu, and the emperor did not punish him, but added him as the prince and young master, worshiped the Dongge University Scholar, and continued to lead the Northern Expedition of the Ming Army.This made Du Yinxi extremely moved, and many soldiers were also rejoicing and praising the emperor Shengming.Subsequently, Zhu Yujian added the title of meritorious general, posthumously crowned Liu Tichun as the Duke of Anhui, and personally paid tribute, which greatly boosted the morale of the Ming army and took the opportunity to win the hearts of the people.At this time, Haoge fled into Wuchang in a hurry, and the Qing army in Hubei was less than 50,000, which was an excellent opportunity to recover all of Chu.Plugging Yinxi then suggested that he should go north from Jingzhou with a high merit, take Xiangyang to reinforce the enemy in Henan, and the main force waved his army eastward to attack Wuchang and recover all Chu in one fell swoop.If Xiangyang Wuchang is in hand, the Qing army's road to Chu is blocked, and the imperial court has been raising the sharp for several years, it can build a fortress and recover Jinling.This proposal greatly excited Zhu Yujian, so he immediately decided to drive the army to Wuchang and recover the land of Chu.In mid-July, the Ming general Gao Yigong went north from Jingzhou, and Zhu Yujian ordered Liu Fangliang and Ma Jinzhong to reinforce 30,000 soldiers, and the two armies met in Yicheng County, and on July 18, the troops came under the city wall of Xiangyang.At the same time, Hao Shaoqi, the vanguard of the Ming army, arrived in the southern suburbs of Wuchang.Zhu Yujian immediately led more than 100,000 troops to the east of the Yangtze River, Chu and Jiangxi were shaken, and Haoge urgently sent three people to Nanchang, Jiangning, and Beijing to ask for help.Jiangnan, Wuxi.Zhao Ming was alone, standing in front of the map with his hands in his hands and losing his mind, and the whole person was like a piece of wood.After entering July, the tide of battle was still developing in a direction unfavorable to Donghai Town.The Manchu court took advantage of the fact that the main force of Donghai Town could not be withdrawn in the south of the Yangtze River, and sent the naval army led by Shi Lang, as well as the new army of Zhenglan Banner led by Bayan, to sweep the coasts of Shandong and Liaodong.When the Donghai Town Water Division arrived, only Xie Qian and other more than 1,000 soldiers and several other troops were taken out from Changshan Island, and several other troops surrendered to the Qing army because they did not wait for reinforcements.This news came to Jiangnan and hit Zhao Ming very hard, not only because he had been in business for several years, and he was ready to use it as a springboard to attack outside the gate, and the strategy of closing the door and fighting dogs was ruined, and the Tun army suffered heavy losses, but also because of the name Shi Lang, which made Zhao Ming a little uneasy.When the Ming army sailors rescued Changshan Island, they fought a naval battle with the Qing army's sailors, and as a result, the Ming army was victorious, and the Qing army's sailors retreated to Weihai.Although it shows that the military naval division repelled the Qing army's naval division, judging from the news brought back by the naval division, the Qing army's naval division already has a certain combat power, and sank a lucky ship of the Ming army, which made Zhao Ming vigilant.If the Qing army and navy are allowed to develop, it will be a huge threat to Donghai Town in the future, Zhao Ming has the intention to go north again and destroy the Manchu navy, but all the troops are contained in Jiangnan, and the situation in Jiangnan is not optimistic.After entering July, Wang Yi and Wang Deshun had sent two waves of messengers in a row to break through the siege and ask Zhao Ming for help.Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming were the Qing army, the best at using firearms, especially artillery, the Qing army bombarded the city with heavy artillery, Wujin City withstood nearly two months of shelling, the city wall collapsed in many places, and the Qing army has been engaged in street fighting.Zhao Ming understands the two of them, not as a last resort, the two will not send people to break through twice in a row to ask for help.This shows that Wu Jincheng has reached a critical moment, but the turning point of Zhao Ming and others has not yet appeared."
Dashuai!"
A shout pulled Zhao Ming out of his complicated thoughts.Zhao Ming turned around, it was Hu Weizong who came to see him, and there was a person behind him, seeing that person, Zhao Ming's eyes lit up, and he immediately stepped forward and said in surprise: "When will Mr.
Chen come back?"
”The person who came was none other than Chen Mingyu, who was sent to Huguang by Zhao Ming, he looked at Zhao Ming with a smile, and saluted: "Handsome, I am fortunate to be humiliated!"
”Zhao Ming raised his eyebrows when he heard this, a little incredulous, and said in surprise, "There has been a breakthrough in the Huguang battle?"
”A month ago, Zhao Ming received the news that Emperor Longwu ordered the Northern Expedition, but after the Northern Expedition, he knew that He Tengjiao led the army, and heard that he was stationed in the Miluo River and did not advance, Zhao Ming's heart was half cold.Previously, Zhao Ming said to Longwu more than once, blocking Yinxi can be of great use, and he is a pillar of the country, but the court has a tiger and does not use it, and prefers to use a pig, and the Northern Expedition of the Longwu court not only did not make Zhao Ming happy, but he was worried about it, and he was worried about the court.Therefore, when Zhao Ming saw Chen Mingyu's expression, his face was a little surprised, could it be that Ben Shuai was preconceived, and he underestimated He Tengjiao?
At this time, Chen Mingyu smiled and said: "The handsome and wise, the imperial court defeated Haoge, took Yuezhou, the troops came to Wuchang, and Chu and Jiangxi were greatly inspired." ”Zhao Ming's jaw dropped when he heard this, "The army of the imperial court actually defeated Haoge, occupied Yuezhou, and killed Wuchang?"
”According to Zhao Ming's knowledge, there are still more than 100,000 Qing troops in Huguang, and there is Haoge's Zhenglan Banner, plus Shang Kexi's elite soldiers are stationed, He Tengjiao is a chicken blood, he is so fierce, can he be Haoge's opponent?
For a while, Zhao Ming was shocked.
