Cheng Hanbin went to Guangdong ten days ago to serve as the ambassador of the Ordnance Bureau, presided over the self-generating firearms and the production of saltpeter. Before leaving, he proposed to Zhou Shixiang that he should march north to capture Wuchang, and then follow the river east to attack the southern capital. This strategy is similar to Zhou Shixiang. To get the fruits of Zheng Chenggong's battle of Nanjing coincides. [Love ↑ Go △ Xiao ↓ Say △ Net WwW.AiQu] However, there is a problem in the implementation of this strategy, that is, Zhou Shixiang did not have a navy who could run rampant in the Yangtze River, but the Qing army did have a navy, and Not one, but many.

In terms of Huguang, the Qing army not only had Dongting Lake naval divisions, but also Wuchang water camps. There were Qing army water camps along the Yangtze River, such as Jiujiang and Anqing. Therefore, without the assistance of naval divisions, it was difficult for the Taiping army to reach Wuchang. Down the stream. There are sailors in the east of Sichuan, but they can't come out without going to Wuchang for a day.

The Taiping army led by Hong Yang in later generations actually did it. Now Zhou Shixiang wants to repeat the road that Hong Yang took, and it is not difficult to implement it. After all, the Qing soldiers in Huguang were not the main force of the Qing army. Most of them were second- and third-rate soldiers and horses such as the Green Battalion Tuanyong, and except for several important towns such as Wuchang and Changsha, the rest of Huguang were occupied by the Ming army. Therefore, the Taiping army really wanted to attack Wuchang on a large scale. Zhang Changgeng would either die with the city, or he could only abandon the city and run away, but Zhou Shixiang could not use troops against Wuchang at the moment.

The key reason for not being able to use troops against Wuchang was not the controlled navy, but the lack of time. The Military Intelligence Division's counter-insurgency against the Dongting Lake Marine Division has achieved some results, but it cannot allow the Dongting Lake Marine Division to come back anyway. If there is no Yongli abandoning the country and Tang Wang supervising state affairs, Zhou Shixiang can lead his troops to unite with the loyal camp, Yaohuang Thirteen Clan and other forces to besiege Wuchang, win Wuchang and then force the Qing army Dongting Lake navy to reverse, and then cooperate with Kuidong's navy to Shun Jiangdong However, it is impossible to implement it now, because he is anxious to rush back to Guangdong to persuade King Tang to supervise the country.

If the king of Tang did not supervise the country for one day, then the Ming Dynasty would have no owner for one day.

The influence of Yongli abandoning the country and fleeing is really bad. In the history without Zhou Shixiang, Yongli abandoning the country ruined the last hope of the army and people against the Qing Dynasty, leading to a large number of Ming troops who had persisted for more than ten years to surrender to the Qing army. A large number of civilians and military generals either abandoned their officials and fled to their hometowns, or shaved their hair and braided their hair to throw themselves in the Qing court, or hid in the mountains to live as remnants, and some important officials, such as Wen Anzhi of Sichuan, died of illness. The great scholar Guo Zhiqi and some anti-Qing generals in Guangdong led their troops to retreat to Annan in desperation, but were detained by the Annan people, who then drowned and killed thousands of Guangdong Ming troops. Guo Zhiqi was also sent to the Qing court to be killed by the Annan people.

In Yunnan, before the death of King Li Dingguo of Jin, a large number of Ming generals surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, such as Ma Bao, Ma Weixing, Feng Shuangli, Qi Sansheng, etc. Bai Wenxuan, the King of Gongchang, also surrendered to the Qing Dynasty soon after. After the death of King Jin, his son Li Siye and others could not see the slightest chance to come back, and finally violated King Jin's last words: "I would rather die in a wasteland than surrender". In the whole of mainland China, only the remaining loyalist battalion, which consisted of the rest of the army, persisted until the third year of Kangxi, and in the end most of them died heroically.

On the Jinsha side, Zheng Chenggong was also disheartened after the failure of the Nanjing battle, and instead led his troops to develop Dongfan. From then on, Zheng Jun left Dongfan alone until he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty more than 20 years later. After that, the land of China never saw the Han crown and Hanfu, and it sank for more than two hundred years.

There is an old saying in the Han family that a snake cannot do without a head, and no matter how bad the government is, it is better than the one without it. It is more appropriate to use these words after the eternal renunciation of the country. If Zhou Shixiang did not support the Tang Dynasty to supervise the kingdom, the anti-Qing forces of the Ming Dynasty would collapse and disintegrate immediately because they had no allegiance and no backbone, and the great situation laid by the Taiping Army was likely to be lost.

Zhou Shixiang couldn't accept this ending, so he had to support King Tang to supervise the country. Even if King Tang is worse than Yongli, as long as this flag is there, people's hearts can be saved.

It is not that no one in his subordinates persuaded Zhou Shixiang to stand on his own, but Zhou Shixiang categorically refused. It is true that the eternal calendar abandoned the country, but it is impossible for the people in this world to immediately accept an emperor with his surname. At this difficult time in the country, only the surname Zhu can call on the world, and only the surname Zhu can unite the forces of all parties.

Self-reliance, Zhou Shixiang never thought about it.

That night in Xinhui, when he knew what happened to him in this life and how his parents, wife and children died, he knew that the meaning of his life in this world was revenge—revenge for himself, and even more so when he died in Manchuria since the Liao Dynasty. Hundreds of millions of Han Chinese at the hands of revenge.

In the past life, he had no chance, because Manzhou became his compatriot; in this life, either he was unsuccessful, he died, or he died.

It is natural and justified to revert to the **** sea, even if the **** sea is surging, it is beyond reproach.

........

Zhou Shixiang clearly told Cheng Hanbin the importance of supporting the Tang Dynasty to supervise the country, and told the other party that the Taiping army could not go north to attack Wuchang at the moment, and he would have to go back to Guangdong to persuade him to enter.

Cheng Hanbin thought for a while, but came up with a strategy. He said that the Taiping Army's strategy for the Qing army in the southwest is to be trapped, but this trap is only to block the Qing army of the southwest in Yungui, but it can't hurt the Qing army in the southwest. If the Qing court can break the wrist of a strong man and order Doni to lead the army from Sichuan and Shaanxi to return to the division, then these hundreds of thousands of Qing troops can return to the north soon and become the enemy of the Taiping army again. No matter which direction the Qing army was attacking from, the Taiping army, which had lost its geographical advantage, could only be beaten passively. In the best case, the two armies were at a stalemate.

Bi Yi, the territory of Guangdong and Guangxi actually owned by the Taiping Army seems to be large, but the number of people is only more than one million, and the southwestern Yunnan and Guizhou provinces have withered after this war. Zhou Shixiang has no time, and the Qing army will definitely not allow him and Sun Kewang. Governing Yunnan and Guizhou in the same way, so as to integrate the site and obtain a stable and anti-Qing base. At that time, the Taiping army saw that there were more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, but it was facing the Qing army, which had the best wealth and wealth, and used the soldiers of the whole country to ask for it. At that time, what was war, what was long-term war, and why was it possible to fight.

This assumption put forward by Cheng Hanbin made Zhou Shixiang panic. Yes, he had been thinking about blocking Duny's hundreds of thousands of Qing troops in Yungui, but what if Shunzhi asked Duny to give up Yungui and return to the north from Sichuan and Shaanxi. Hundreds of thousands of Qing troops were locked in Yungui, where transportation was inconvenient and the terrain was complicated. The role they could play was very limited, but if they were placed elsewhere, it would definitely be enough for the Taiping army.

Don't be afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of what happens. In case Shunzhi launched a ruthless campaign against Yungui, Zhou Shixiang really had nothing to do with it. He asked Cheng Hanbin what he could do to deal with it. Cheng Hanbin suggested that several towns should be mobilized to attack Jiangxi from Shaozhou north to capture Ganzhou, an important town in Jiangxi. In this way, in order to protect Jiangnan, which is rich in money, grain and wealth, the Qing court must urge Doni to lead the army to break out of the Taiping army's blockade and return to the southeast.

The importance of Jiangnan to the Qing court is no less important than that of Guangdong to the Taiping Army. If the snake hits seven inches, the ten southwest areas are not as important as Jiangnan. It is certain that once Shunzhi knew that the Taiping army had entered Jiangxi and entered Jiangnan, Duny would have to rush out to the rescue. The more urgent the Qing army is, the more advantageous the Taiping army will be. Although the Guangxi side let Xian Guoan suddenly come in, and now there are reinforcements from Roto occupying the Hechi area, as long as the two troops are eliminated before the arrival of the Dhoni army, the border between Guizhou and Guizhou can be completely blocked in time. , and then rely on the geographical advantage to consume the strength of the Qing army in the southwest a little bit.

This is a Yang conspiracy. If the Qing court wants to protect Jiangnan~www.NovelMTL.com~ Dhoni's army must come out from Yungui, not from Sichuan and Shaanxi, but from Hunan or Guangxi, otherwise it will be too late.

After repeated weighing, Zhou Shixiang adopted Cheng Hanbin's suggestion and decided to form the Northern Expedition Army to take Jiangxi from Shaozhou north. This will not only force Duny to ram into the Taiping defense line desperately, but also go to Nanjing to pick up the fruit of the country's surname.

For the Northern Expedition, the towns must be mobilized.

Zhou Shixiang ordered the Dongjin Detachment, which had been harassing the four prefectures of Baoqing to seek money and grain, to be rebuilt into the fifteenth town, with Qi Hao serving as the town general. In addition, the newly established six towns of the Bandit Suppression Army in western Hunan also transferred two towns out and returned to Guangdong together with the fifteen towns and the sixth town of Suna. Later, it formed the Northern Expedition Army with the first town of Geyi in Guangdong and the third town of Jiang Baldzi. The Northern Expedition Army consists of six towns with 54,200 troops, and will be commanded by Zhou Shixiang in person.

In Hunan, following the example of Guangxi, the Hunan Field Corps was established, with Zhao Sihai serving as the commander, and under the jurisdiction of the ninth town of Weiyuan Hou Guo Dengdi, the second town of Tie Yi, and the four towns of the Bandit Suppression Army in western Hunan. A total of six town soldiers, there are actually 51,200 soldiers, and the legion is stationed in Yuanzhou. There is no governor in Hunan for the time being, and military and civilian affairs are all handled by the legion.

The beginning of Tang Wang's supervision of the country was the time of the Northern Expedition. (To be continued.) Mobile users, please browse and read for a better reading experience.
