Chapter 125: Troops Aid Fujing
Wan Yuan Ji was stunned when he heard this, although the 8,000 recruits in his hands had some experience after nearly two months of battlefield fighting, and he had incorporated Zhang An's 5,000 men and horses a while ago, but it was still a little difficult for these people to deal with the main force of the Eight Banners of Luck Dehun.
He was about to say something, when he heard Zhu Linmiao say: "In addition, after Luo Ming's sailors garrisoned by Luo captured Nanchang City, he also went north with Wandutang to assist in the defense on the Yangtze River, so there should be no major trouble." ”
Zhu Linmiao continued: "Jiujiang is relatively close to Nanchang, and after Jin Shenghuan was conferred the head of Wandutang, it should be timely to settle the people in Nanchang City, and then go north. ”
Wan Yuan Ji heard that there was a sailor to help in the war, and he could receive the credit for arresting the remnants of the enemy, so he hurriedly agreed. Luo Mingshou had long been the only one who looked forward to Zhu Linmiao, and he had no opinion.
Yang Tinglin saw that all the generals agreed with King Chen's arrangement, and at the same time felt that this strategy was the most appropriate, so he announced the tasks of each army according to what King Chen had just said.
Everyone discussed the details again, and Zhu Linmiao was afraid that the Qing army would arrive at Xianxia Pass first, and when the battle plan was almost refined, he immediately took Zhen Zhen and Gu Yanwu to leave everyone and prepared to transfer troops to Fujian.
As soon as he walked out of the military tent, Zhu Linmiao suddenly remembered that although Yang Tinglin had an army of 20,000 there, this Master of the Military Department was a veritable civilian official. If he didn't send someone to help him, in case he was defeated by Jianyu's strategy, it would still be small to lose Guangxin Mansion, and it would be troublesome to lose Shanguan, and he would face a situation of being attacked on both sides in Fujian.
Thinking of this, he turned his head to Zhang Jiayu and said, "Yuanzi, although Yang Butang's troops are not weak, I think there is still a shortage of people with a certain plan. If you don't, stay in Guangxin and assist Yang Butang's main force in arranging. ”
Although Zhang Jiayu looked unhappy, since His Royal Highness said so, he had no choice but to salute: "Yes!" ”
Gu Yanwu glanced at Zhang Jiayu's expression on the side, thought for a moment, and waved his hand: "Your Highness, why do you need to work Lord Zhang over there in Guangxin?" There is one subordinate who can be recommended to Yang Butang, which is enough to be captured. ”
"Oh? Who are you recommending? ”
Gu Yanwu said: "This person's name is Dai Xiuyuan, Chongzhen's eleventh year jinshi, and he was originally appointed as the garrison of the Taiping Mansion of the Hongguang Dynasty. After the surrender of the four towns in Jiangbei, he led the army to stick to the city, but he was outnumbered, and the city was broken and martyred in Jiang, and was rescued by the guards. When the Longwu Dynasty was established to Fujing, he was appointed as a soldier in the matter, but he was excluded by the Zheng family and was not reused. This person is familiar with the art of war, and he is skilled in bows and horses, and his subordinates know him well, so he can help Yang Butang stick to Guangxin. ”
Zhu Linmiao was overjoyed, it would be best if he could send Zhang Jiayu out, and then turned around and returned to Yang Tinglin's tent and recommended Dai Xiuyuan to him.
Yang Tinglin was even more overjoyed when he heard this, he has been taking Wan Yuan Ji by his side since he was in Jiangxi to lead the army, and now he is really a little unsure in his heart to lead the troops alone.
Unexpectedly, King Chen immediately sent him a strategist, and he immediately promised Dai Xiuyuan to guard his post, saying that when he made military achievements, he would immediately ask the court for a reward.
Zhu Linmiao arranged most of the Ming army, and ordered Zhen Zhen and Gu Yanwu to return to the camp, immediately unload the armament on Luo Mingshou's ship, collect grain and grass, and be ready to march east at any time.
Then he immediately rushed back to the camp of the Longwei army, and first sent someone to inform Chen Yi, ordering him to camp in Qingjiang and wait for the main force of the Longwei army to join him. Another order should be given to Ying Tianxiang to let the logistics department reorganize and load the grain and grass seized before, and after the troops enter Fujian, the original commercial contracting logistics system may not be able to keep up, and it is necessary to prepare some grain and grass by itself to deal with the unexpected.
The next day, the Long Wei Army and the Broken Battalion pulled out camp at the same time, bypassed Poyang Lake, and hurried to Shanguan.
