The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 367 Strength Analysis
The Crown Princess listened to Zhu Linming's words for a long while, but she couldn't help but secretly nodded in her heart.In today's troubled times, his son is in a high position, and the high position is extremely cold, and one mistake may result in death. If the Mu family girl is so smart, she can indeed be a great help to her son.In case of a change in the political situation, Yunnan will also be a shelter.

She thought over and over again, and finally shook her head and sighed with a smile: "Come on, come on, I can't help my mother..."

……

Standing on the Nanjing city tower, Hong Chengchou looked at the 8000 men and horses who were practicing in the southwest suburbs, shouting like thunder, and their momentum was astounding.

Zhang Tianlu's troops are really elite, even compared with Jianzhou soldiers.He couldn't help but nodded in satisfaction, it was indeed right to transfer him, and he should be relied on in the future.

He suddenly sighed, "I didn't expect this old man to come to Nanzhili... Oh, yes, it has been renamed Jiangnan, and I'm really not used to it. I have been recruiting the Southern Governor's military affairs for more than a year, but unexpectedly I have to command the army again. , it's just my old bones..."

Alas, he is old, and has lost the vigor of the past, and he thinks about his body before going into battle.He said with a smile in his heart, this army of 10,000+ has [-] Jianzhou elites, and he is afraid that if it is not his turn to gallop in front of the battle, the tens of thousands of southerners will be killed.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and he wanted to talk about some tricks of these people.

At the beginning, Boluo's [-] troops were completely wiped out of Fujian, and people in Nanjing were in a state of panic, thinking that the Ming army was about to arrive soon.Who would have thought that after the regent's decree, it only took three or four months for the surrounding provinces to gather another [-] to [-] troops, as if they had never experienced the defeat of Shanguan.

The southerners were afraid that the celebration banquet would not be over yet, so they would rush to fight again.Looking at the screaming soldiers on the school grounds, he thought to himself, Manchu always pays enough money, and Xu soldiers keep [-]% of the looting proceeds for themselves, so naturally everyone will use their lives.

The tax system of the imperial court was strict, no matter the gentry or the powerful, anyone who dared to pay a penny of tax would be sent to prison immediately, and the old evils of the past and the Ming Dynasty would be eradicated.Therefore, money and food are abundant, although there are still surpluses in the national treasury.

He thought of the year after year of arrears of payment to the frontier army during the Chongzhen Dynasty, he couldn't help shaking his head and thought, with an enemy as strong as my Qing Dynasty, it seems that Nanming's strength is exhausted!
Fortunately, I was met by the first emperor, otherwise, I would have perished with the Ming Dynasty, and who would remember me as a loyal minister in future generations?But when the Qing Dynasty conquered the world, will there still be a place for me, the founding hero, in the history books?
It's just that no one told him that decades later, Qianlong had someone write a "Biography of Two Officials" that specifically recorded traitors, and he, Hong Chengchou, ranked first.If he found out about this, he didn't know what he was thinking...

Just as his thoughts were surging, he saw Yang Zhihe, the governor of Jiangnan's palm print, come forward and said: "My lord, the Holy Majesty sent Lord Adahaha Fan Dasu, together with Gu Shan E Zhen Suo Hong and other generals, to command [-] elite soldiers of the Yellow Banner to reinforce Nanjing. Now the army Passed Xuzhou."

Hong Chengchou frowned when he heard the words, "How can there be a Jianzhou Banner Army that can be transferred..." He was surprised immediately, "Could it be transferred from the Beijing camp?"

Yang Zhihe hurriedly said: "My lord, I came from Cangzhou Camp."

Hong Chengchou nodded and said: "It seems that His Royal Highness the Regent is determined to win Zhejiang and Fujian." He laughed again, "After Boluo was defeated last time, the court has become much more stable this time. I just let me fight steadily, first fall in Zhejiang, and then The land of Zhejiang is based on Xutu, Jiangxi, and Fujian. With the continuous deployment of large armies, this small Fujian court must flee south."

Yang Zhihe carefully reminded: "My lord, when will you meet General Dasu in the north?" This Dasu was the most elite general in the Beijing camp of the Qing army. They were all a head shorter in front of him.

Hong Chengchou heard the words and said coldly: "The old man is in charge of the overall situation in the south of the Yangtze River, how can he go to Xuzhou without authorization?"

On the side, Hong Chengchou's deputy general Lu Shiyang came quickly, cupped his hands and said: "My lord, Le Ke De Hun Bei Le said that he has an urgent matter and he has to arrive in half an hour. The rest of the generals have already gone to the central army tent to wait for orders."

Hong Chengchou had nothing to do with Luke Dehun, so he waved his hands and said: "Let's discuss things first, and when Lord Baylor arrives, let him quickly come to the big tent." He glanced at Yang Zhihe again, "Go to Xuzhou and bring some money present."

"Sign up and obey!"

Outside the city of Nanjing, the Qing army tent.

The main officers of the Qing army in the south of the Yangtze River gathered here, and the tents were full, with four to fifty people sitting there.

After the ceremony, Hong Chengchou glanced at the location of the Qiantang River on the map, and said slowly: "Since the navy has defeated the Zhejiang army, Qiantang has been allowed to come and go."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but glanced at Wang Wenkui, the former captain of the Qiantang Navy.Just three days after the destruction of the Zhejiang navy, Beijing believed that there was no threat on the water surface, and ordered Wang Wenkui to be transferred to a high-level defense, and the navy was replaced by Mele Zhangjinggaha as the commander.Of course, most of the combat achievements belonged to Gaha.

However, the southerners had no warships, and it made no difference whoever commanded the navy.

Hong Chengchou continued: "The main force of Huizhou arrived in the south of the Yangtze River yesterday, and just now I had to report to the Holy Master to send another [-] Beijing battalion to help. Now all our troops have arrived.

"To invite you all here today is to discuss the strategy for advancing troops in the future."

When it was getting dark, but still did not see Luck Dehun coming, Hong Chengchou saw that all the people who could be discussed were almost done, so he decided not to wait for him, and said loudly: "Zhang Tianlu, let you command the main force of the Hui army. , and 1 troops from Song Wu’s tribe stationed in Fuyang. Just wait for Ma Degong’s tribe to attack Xiaoshan, and immediately cross Qiantang and encircle Shaoxing with it.”

"The end will obey orders!"

"Huang Ding, I ordered you to command the [-] main forces of Anqing to garrison Tonglu in the lower reaches of Qiantang. You must ensure that the downstream ferry is unblocked.

"When the city of Shaoxing fell, we sent our troops to the south, took Shouchang first, and encircled Quzhou again."

"The end will obey orders!"

"Yang Chengzu led [-] Suzhou troops to stand by in Nan'an, Qiantang. After capturing Shaoxing, he surrounded Quzhou with Huang Ding."

"The end will obey orders!"

"General Chen Tai." Hong Chengchou said in a more polite tone, "Lead your troops to the town of Hangzhou with the Huanghuang Banner, and when the horse has won the meritorious troops to surround Shaoxing, you will immediately go south to Suichang. If there is a southern army coming out from Xianxia Pass, then Hit it halfway!"

"Hey!" Chen Tai cupped his hands.He has more than [-] flag soldiers plus coats, but most of them are cavalry, which are very suitable for surprise attacks.

Hong Chengchou issued multiple military orders one after another, except for Ma Degong who was far away in Xiaoshan and Luck Dehun who was absent, the rest were assigned.

His overall plan was to first station troops on the north bank of Qiantang, and wait for Ma to succeed in capturing Xiaoshan, then use this as a base to move the whole army south.In addition, heavy troops were set up in Tonglu in the lower reaches of Qiantang to defend against the 1 troops of the Polu Camp in Quzhou.

When Shaoxing was defeated, the troops were divided into two groups.More than [-] soldiers besieged Quzhou along the way, and [-] of the main force of the state led by Luck Dehun bypassed Quzhou on the other way, and took Jiangxi Guangxin Mansion directly.

The nearly 4 people under Ma Degong's department and Chen Tai's troops stationed in the Suichang area were used to intercept the reinforcements going north from Fujian.
