Chapter 446: Conspiracy Becomes Yang Conspiracy
Wu Zheng's words made Wang Deren stunned, and he hesitated for a long time: "This is ...... I'm afraid that's not right, right? ”
"What's wrong?"
"This ...... This...... The last general is just a general, leading the country's personal guards to the cavalry, I'm afraid it will be...... I'm afraid that I can't command them, so I ask the Guogong to let the last general lead his own troops to attack, and the last general will be easy to use. ”
Wu Zheng and Zhang Guowei glanced at each other, Wu Zheng smiled and said: "Don't worry, this guild will inform Chi Erhan and ask him to accompany you and assist you in emptying the granary as much as possible." ”
Wang Deren's expression darkened, and he said, "Please ask the state to approve it, or ...... The last general will assist General Chi. ”
Wu Zhengzheng said: "Do you think this father is guarding against you?" ”
Wang Deren bowed his head and was silent.
"The so-called truth that there is no doubt in employing people, and not using suspicious people, I don't need you to teach you. Chi Erhan is stubborn, if he is the main general, he will be desperate to move all the food back, but this will put the soldiers in danger, the battle of Pinggang Mountain, you can also see his performance, more than brave, not enough planning. But you are a veteran of the battlefield and know how to measure yourself...... You don't have to worry, I will take care of Chi Erhan, you will be the main commander in this battle, and everything will be done according to your orders. ”
Only then did Wang Deren put his mind at ease and arched his hand: "The last general will obey the order." ”
Watching Wang Deren leave, Zhang Guowei said: "Do you really want to risk moving those grains?" ”
Wu Zheng sighed: "Gong Zhang doesn't know, now there are more than 60,000 mouths in Hangzhou Mansion, and this is not counting the officials of the government." You know that the imperial court has no money, and now is the time when there is a shortage of green and yellow, and if I can have this batch of grain, I can also fight the autumn breeze to the merchants of Hangzhou and other prefectures. Do you know? The merchants of various provinces have now given me a nickname, called Tiangao One Foot. ”
Zhang Guowei was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said: "This nickname is good, which is in line with your Wu Zheng's consistent actions." Scrape the ground...... Uh, no, it should be three feet high, right? ”
Wu Zheng smiled bitterly: "That's saying that I finally have a good conscience and didn't attack ordinary people." ”
Zhang Guowei laughed again, nodded Wu Zheng and said, "Look, look...... Justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, the sky can be deceived, and the hearts of the people cannot be deceived! ”
Wu Zheng said depressedly: "You say I want to do such a thing? Even if it is all mine, there is not much tax, and it is not enough to raise soldiers, do you think I have to think of something else? ”
Zhang Guowei suppressed his smile and said, "It's really difficult for you." In fact, when I was waiting with Master Qian in Shaoxing Mansion, I also talked about this matter, and at that time you only occupied Hangzhou Mansion, and everyone knew your difficulties, but ...... Hey, people's hearts, it's always like this, but it is to be worthy of your heart. ”
"Thank you for your understanding."
……。
In two days, the battle situation in Shaoxing Mansion has undergone fundamental changes.
Although the losses of the Qing army were not large, and the main force was still there, the siege of Shaoxing Mansion showed that the Qing army had lost its strategic initiative.
If Jin Shenghuan can't even see through this, then he will be blind for decades of combat experience.
The point is that the retreat of the post pavilion has been cut off.
This is equivalent to letting the 30,000 Qing army be wrapped in Shaoxing Mansion as a whole, unable to retreat, and the attack is more than enough but not enough.
Therefore, Jin Shenghuan did not refuse Wang Deren's surrender, a person like him is a mother if he has milk, and there is no loyalty at all.
Leave a way back for yourself, that's the idea.
Three conditions were put forward, one was to delay time, expecting the Lihai Qing army to play extraordinarily and bring about changes, and the second was not to refuse, so that the Ming army would not immediately launch an attack on Shaoxing City.
But Wang Deren sent someone to reply, and Wu Zheng resolutely rejected two of the three conditions, which made Jin Shenghuan hesitate in his heart.
He thinks that only the strong can be so resolute, is there anything for the Ming army to be ashamed of?
This guess made Jin Shenghuan not sleep all night, and kept thinking about it.
Besiege? Impossible, seeing that the overall situation is settled, it is impossible for the Ming army to risk huge casualties among soldiers and civilians in the city to fight a decisive battle with themselves without completely giving up, Jin Shenghuan denied this conjecture.
The Ming army still has reinforcements, and the decisive battle in Lihai defeated more than 20,000 Qing soldiers? This is even more unlikely, the army is a fixed number, and the intelligence has long shown that it is not surprising that occasionally there are 1 or 2,000 more men, but for a battle in which 70,000 or 80,000 men have gathered on both sides, this is completely negligible and does not play a big role. If there were really reinforcements, the Ming army would have already highlighted the encirclement of the Qing army in Lihai and approached the city of Shaoxing.
Moreover, according to the situation, there is no need for the Ming army to risk such a large casualty and launch a decisive battle, and both sides will be defeated, even if they win, as long as the Fujian Qing army turns back and strikes, what resistance will the Ming army take? Shaoxing Mansion will inevitably fall back into the hands of the Qing army.
Therefore, this point was also denied by Jin Shenghuan.
But what did Wu Zheng rely on to make him so tough?
With his sleepy eyes open, Jin Shenghuan couldn't guess what medicine was sold in Wu Zheng's gourd.
At this time, the guards came in with breakfast and put it in front of Jin Shenghuan.
Jin Shenghuan picked it up casually and wanted to drink it.
Suddenly he woke up, food!
In fact, with Jin Shenghuan's experience, he should have thought of the Daoxu granary.
But Shaoxing City has his own granary, and he doesn't need to go to Daoxu to receive grain, which makes Jin Shenghuan not care or think about Daoxu granary at all.
But now, he thought that if the Daoxu granary was lost, then the Lihai Qing army would run out of food.
Even if the Ming army did not attack, the Qing army would collapse on its own.
Just a thought made Jin Shenghuan's cold sweat soak his back, and he hurriedly shouted: "Come on, pass it on to the general." ”
It's one thing to guess, but it's another thing to respond.
Can Jin Shenghuan deal with this "conspiracy" that has become a conspiracy?
No, definitely not!
The city of Shaoxing has been surrounded by regiments, although except for the strong strength of the Ximen Ming army, the other two gates are thin.
But as long as one of the troops in the city is dispatched, it will inevitably attract the other two to counterattack.
Jin Shenghuan didn't have the courage to make a desperate bet and give up Shaoxing City in exchange for breaking out.
But since he thought of it, he had to deal with it, and after a short discussion with his generals, Jin Shenghuan decided to "break through" to the east.
This breakthrough is not a breakthrough of the whole army, but only the 600 cavalry under Jin Shenghuan, in fact, it is less than this number, and there are more than a dozen casualties when attacking the Ministry of State Security.
Anyway, it is defending the city, and it has not completely torn its face with the Ming army, so this cavalry is not needed for the time being.
Jin Shenghuan's intention is threefold, one is to send this cavalry to warn the granary of Daoxu, the second is to assist in defense, and the third is to inform the Qing army in Lihai to reinforce Daoxu, the cavalry is fast.
At this time, the sky will not be bright, choose to break through from the east gate, that is Jin Shenghuan observed the three gates, only the east gate army is a "miscellaneous card", the combat power is the weakest, the probability of success is naturally much greater.
