After Zhao Ming occupied Su Songchang and Zhu Yihai recovered all of Zhejiang, the strategic focus of the Manchu Qing in the south shifted from the Longwu regime that destroyed Changsha to the defense of the Zhejiang Ming army to seize Jiangning.For this reason, the main forces of the Qing army were transferred to Jiangnan and sent Azig to sit in Yangzhou, while the Qing troops in Huguang and Jiangxi were completely turned to the defensive.In this way, the Longwu court in Changsha was given an opportunity, so that the Chu and Jiangxi Ming armies gradually surpassed the Qing army in the Chu and Jiangxi regions in terms of strength, forming a local advantage.At this time, the total strength of the Qing army in the Chujiang region was only about 120,000, and the army was divided into three clusters and distributed along both sides of the Yangtze River.The Manchu Qing Dynasty Gongshun King Kong Youde, led 40,000 soldiers to sit in Wuchang City, Zhishun King Shang Kexi led 30,000 people, distributed in Huangzhou, Qizhou, Jiujiang area, to maintain Wuchang and Jiangxi contact, and Shuncheng County King Le Ke Dehun, led more than 40,000 people, sitting in Nanchang, defending the Ming army in southern Jiangnan, Fujian and Zhejiang.If it was a few years ago, when the Qing army was in its prime, the Ming army would definitely not have the courage to take the initiative to challenge more than 100,000 Qing troops.At that time, more than 10,000 Qing troops could easily defeat more than 100,000 Ming troops, and the Ming army did not dare to take the initiative to counterattack, but the situation changed at this time.After the Qing army destroyed the Hongguang court, almost all the elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were lost, and the newly recruited soldiers were pulled onto the battlefield without training, so on the battlefield, the Qing army could easily defeat the Ming army.Now that the Manchu Qing Dynasty has entered the customs for nine years, and the war in the south has been fought for nearly eight years, the new army recruited by the Ming Dynasty has gradually changed from the original vulnerable to a reluctant battle in these eight years of war, and then to the Qing army now, and dares to take the initiative to challenge.The Qing army mobilized troops to the south of the Yangtze River to guard against Zhejiang, and Zhao Ming occupied Korea, opened up a battlefield outside the pass, and contained the Qing army in the northern provinces, which created an opportunity for the Longwu court in the south.This time, Emperor Longwu, taking advantage of the emptiness of the Qing army's Chu and Jiangxi forces, and the Manchu court was restrained by the previous Haoge case and Zhao Ming, and launched a campaign to recover all of Chu.The emperor personally conscripted, 150,000 troops, as soon as the news of the recovery of Wuchang spread, the world shook, whether the righteous army or the people, they all ran to shout, the land of Chu and Jiangxi was boiling, and many righteous troops in the Qihuang area took the initiative to leave the mountainous area and move closer to the periphery of Wuchang, intending to assist the emperor in collecting Wuchang and supporting Sheji.The Huguang Ming army experienced many major battles, and the fear of the Qing army gradually disappeared, so this expedition, Emperor Longwu was bound to win.In order to kill the Qing army, the 150,000 army set off from Yuezhou, and suddenly killed the city of Wuchang, and then the Emperor Longwu issued a document, and ordered the plug Yinxi to submit a letter to Wuchang City, in the name of the Ming Emperor, so that all the officials and generals in the city of Wuchang were bound to ask for guilt, and the city surrendered, otherwise after the city was broken, no one was left, and all of them were shown to the public.At this time, on the city of Wuchang, Kong Youde, who was wearing red armor, pressed the sword and inspected the city, and the soldiers in the city saw him walking by, and immediately clenched their weapons and straightened their chests, but as soon as he left, his straight back immediately collapsed, and his morale seemed a little low."
Lord Wang!"
Sun Dingliao, the governor of Hubei, said with a sad face: "The army of the puppet Ming outside the city, at least 150,000 people, and the imperial court does not send reinforcements, how can we retreat from the enemy?"
”Kong Youde came to the edge of the city wall, looking at the military camp outside the city with a frown, he grabbed the city wall with one hand, pressed the handle of the knife with the other, and the muscles on his face unconsciously pulled back."
Is the Ming army so rampant now?
That Zhao Zamao killed North Korea and forced outside the pass, Zhu Yihai eyed Jinling, Sun Kewang besieged Chengdu, and now even the Ming army in Huguang has launched a counteroffensive. ”Kong Youde smashed his mouth, his expression was melancholy, he didn't expect that in just a few years, the situation would develop like this.Now the strength of the Great Qing Kingdom is still very strong, but it can't stand the flames everywhere.When the Ming army assembled in Yuezhou, Kong Youde received the news that the Ming army might attack Wuchang, so he immediately sent a fast horse to inform Beijing, but the reply he received made Kong Youde feel a little disappointed.Dol Roll's energy was restrained by the internal struggle of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the decisive battle outside the Guan, and he did not send reinforcements, but only let Kong Youde hold Wuchang tightly.It's not that Dolroll doesn't pay attention to Wuchang, there are really no troops to send, the Manchus occupy a large place, and there are many places to defend, the original northern provinces, there is no threat of war, you can organize a group of soldiers and horses to maneuver, support the various theaters, but Zhao Zamao attacked Korea and entered Liaodong, but the northern forces were attracted to the past, so that the Manchus had no mobile forces.Now the Qing army in Jiangnan and Lianghuai has to prevent Zhu Yihai from attacking Jiangning, the Qing army in Sichuan and Guanzhong is busy dealing with Sun Kewang, and the Qing army in Henan, Shanxi, Shandong, and Zhili has been transferred to fight Zhao Zamao, and Dolgon just wants to reinforce Wuchang, and there are no troops to send.At the head of the city, the civil and military forces of Huguang Province of the Great Qing Dynasty gathered, all of them were sad and sad, and their faces were full of gloom.Now the Ming army is in the city, relying only on the Wuchang Qing army, it will definitely not be able to repel the Ming army, and the Ming army is backed by the Huguang granary, Hunan and Liangguang have a large population, and the food and soldiers will continue to be sent to Wuchang, and Wuchang is difficult to obtain support and supplies, I am afraid that it will not be able to hold on for a long time.Now, Zhu Yujian, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, personally wrote a letter to the city, ordering the officials and soldiers in the city to surrender, otherwise the day the city is broken, all will be beheaded.Although the position of Emperor Zhu Yujian is still controversial, the officials in the city do not dare to take Zhu Yujian's words as wind in their ears.Most of the officials who surrendered and worked for the Manchu Qing Dynasty wanted to be prosperous and wealthy, and there was no need to risk their lives for the Qing Dynasty.At this time, Kong Youde glanced at the Ming army camp outside the city, and suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "If today, the Qing Dynasty accounts for seven points, and the Pseudo-Ming Dynasty accounts for three points at most."
This king doesn't believe it, the pseudo-Ming can still defeat the Qing Dynasty!
”"Lord Wang, in terms of territory and overall situation, the Qing Dynasty does still have an advantage now, but as far as Chu and Gan are concerned, we are indeed at a disadvantage!
Now in the two provinces of Hubei and Jiangxi, the Qing Dynasty only has 120,000 horses, but the pseudo-Ming is Zhu Yujian personally raised an army of 150,000, and ordered Zhu Yuyi, Zheng Chenggong, and more than 10,000 Ji to raise 100,000 troops to the north, and their troops are twice as many as ours, how can they be the enemy!
”Sun Dingliao saw the Ming army approaching the city, and learned that the Manchu court did not send troops to support, so he had no will to fight.Sun Dingliao is the banner of the Han army with red flags and is Kong Youde's confidant.Hearing this, Kong Youde turned back suddenly, glanced at him with a sharp gaze, and said angrily: "You dare to have two hearts?
”It is impossible for Kong Youde to turn back, what he did, he will not atone for his sins even if he dies, even if he goes to Zhu Yujian to ask for his guilt now, Zhu Yujian will not kill him for the time being, and there will be absolutely no good end in the future.Therefore, when he saw that his henchman's will seemed to be shaken, his heart was suddenly shocked and angry.Sun Dingliao hurriedly knelt on one knee and bowed his head to explain: "The prince has wronged the slave!"
How dare I have two hearts?
The slave just felt that Yuezhou and Xiangyang had fallen into the hands of the puppet Ming, and the prince insisted on Wuchang, in fact, there was no point in it, it was better to withdraw the army of Chu and Jiangxi, give up Wuchang and Jiangxi, and let the puppet Ming divide the troops to defend, and the imperial court could get 120,000 troops that could be mobilized.Such 120,000 people, invested in any place, is enough to break the current deadlock!
”Kong Youde frowned, but he scolded half-loudly: "It's nonsense, lose Wuchang and Jiangxi, how can the imperial court have food to support the army, and the regent will definitely not allow this king to give up Wuchang, and the army of Jiangxi will not be dispatched by this king!"
”Dolroll's prestige in the DPRK and China has been greatly reduced, and a military victory is urgently needed to stabilize the situation.At this time, how dare Kong Youde abandon Wuchang, isn't this not not about politics and embarrassing Dol roll?
At that moment, Kong Youde was determined to resist stubbornly, and ordered in a cold voice, "Give up Wuchang's words, and don't mention it again in the future, otherwise you will be punished for disturbing the morale of the army!"
