Chapter 261: Wu Sangui enters Chu

Heaven and earth will send people from Jiangnan, presumably something big happened in the southeast, Wang Yan frowned when he heard this, and hurriedly helped Yu Taichu up, and then said: "Sit down and talk about it~"

A few people strode to the front of the seat and sat down, Yu Taichu said: "Grandpa Guo, Duoduo 200,000 horses swept eastern Zhejiang, King Lu has been defeated into the sea, and now the Qing army is pressing to Fujian, Zheng Taishi in the court seems to have the intention of surrendering to the Qing, the court is in a difficult situation, and the Taihu Righteous Army is also surrounded and suppressed by the Qing soldiers, money and food are scarce, and the situation in the southeast is as dangerous as an egg, so the chief helmsman came to tell the Guogong, hoping that the Guogong can launch a big war again in Huguang, and transfer the attention of the Qing soldiers from Jiangnan to Huguang, The situation in Taihu and Fujian was eased. ”

"Zhedong is defeated?" After hearing this, Wang Yan's face immediately sank, "It's only been a few months, how did you lose so quickly?" ”

Huguang and eastern Zhejiang are far away, and it usually takes ten days and half a month to transmit news, and now the Qing army occupies northern Jiangxi, which makes the road blocked, and the merchants are not passable, Wang Yan wants to get the news of the southeast in Chudi, which is naturally more difficult, and he can only learn a little clue from the newspaper of the imperial court in Fujian.

In this way, the time for news transmission is even longer, when the imperial court reported the previous message, still saying that eastern Zhejiang and the Qing army across the river, when the situation is very good, the Qing soldiers have actually crossed the Qiantang and swept eastern Zhejiang.

Yu Taichu said gloomily: "Since the failure of the attack on Hangzhou last year, the king of Lu and the generals have lost their enterprising spirit, coupled with the drought and lack of water, the Qiantang has dried up, the Qing army calmly crossed the river, and the national security of the Yue State has surrendered to the enemy, and the situation in eastern Zhejiang has deteriorated. ”

In the land of eastern Zhejiang, the people are rich and rich, there are 200,000 soldiers and horses, although they are all new troops that have been pulled up in a hurry, but after all, Lu Jianguo has been operating for a year, a small city in Jiangyin, and it has been holding on for three months, but the Lu Jianguo regime has hundreds of miles of rivers and mountains, but it is like a wind and clouds, and it has failed quickly, which is really lamentable.

Wang Yan got the answer, he couldn't help but sigh, the good mood after today's inspection was gone, and he said with a somewhat depressed expression: "Last year, His Majesty ordered the governor to go north to Huguang, and set the strategy of the two armies to join Jinling, but as a result, the imperial court and Zheng Zhilong had a bad relationship, so that the soldiers surnamed Zheng Guo did not dare to go out lightly, and the two roads would hunt Jinling, so it became a strategy to defend the east and attack the west, but now the east of Zhejiang has been broken, and the strategy of defending the east and attacking the west has also been abolished. ”

Since the year of Jiashen, the situation faced by the Ming Dynasty has been constantly deteriorating, Wang Yan has several times, thinking that the situation faced by the Ming Dynasty has been reversed, but the result is indeed worse and worse each time.

200,000 Qing soldiers approached Fujian, and within the Longwu court, there was Zheng Zhilong who was restrained, and he had two ambitions, and the danger of the court was clear at a glance.

The current situation is indeed a little frustrating, Yu Taichu listened to Wang Yan's words, felt the loss in his heart, and couldn't help but ask softly: "Guogong, what about sending troops?" ”

"The court is in danger, as a commander of the army, how can there be any reason not to save it?" Wang Yan calmed down a little, so that the decadent aura on his body was swept away, and then said solemnly: "This governor will raise troops as soon as possible and attack Wuchang, attract Duoduo's attention, and give the court a chance to breathe." ”

Seeing that Wang Yan had made a decision, Wang Fuzhi also nodded and said: "Your Majesty has been on the throne for nearly a year, and the seven provinces have bowed down, so that the Ming Dynasty will not be scattered. Guogong's first soldier this time is a must-do! ”

Although Wang Yan promised to send troops, his face was a little heavy, the land of Huguang had only breathed for less than two months, and the war was a great war, which was bound to be another injury to the people's livelihood, but Wang Yan also knew that although Fujian was surrounded by mountains, it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the internal instability was serious, and once the Qing soldiers attacked with all their might, the imperial court would immediately be in danger of overturning, so even if Huguang was difficult, he had to save it.

In the matter of the battle array, the vast majority of people think that they are fighting for troops and tactics, but in fact, the economic logistics of grain and grass is the first place.

Han Xin, Zhang Liang, Xiao He, this Xinghan is also the three of them, but the first person who has the first merit is not Han and Zhang, but Xiao He. Han Gaozu was defeated by King Xiang several times, all because Xiao He managed the Guanzhong properly, so that he could stay in the current situation.

Gao Zu also said that Xiao He's merit is the first among the secretaries and the first candidate for the founding of the country.

The role of logistics in the war is self-evident, and for Wang Yan, the key to raising troops is whether the vast land, the weak economy, and the people's livelihood that has just been restored can experience a big war again.

This year's summer grain harvest is large, and some materials from Hunan are transported to Guangnan, which can also be exchanged for some money, and Su Guansheng is in charge of Guangdong, and will also send some money and grain to support Huguang, and the sum of these money and grain should allow Wang Yan to launch a big war.

At this time, Yu Taichu saw Wang Yanying, and his face showed a hint of joy, so he immediately said: "Guogong can send a large army, the situation in Huguang must be tense, Duoduo is afraid that after Guogong captures Wuchang, he will go east with all his strength, and he will not dare to press the whole army to Fujian, so that the situation of the imperial court and the Taihu rebel army will be alleviated." However, the Heaven and Earth Society also received news that Duoduo intended to write to Dolgon, wanting to mobilize Wu Sangui and Azig, who were originally used to suppress the Hanzhong rebels, to attack Huguang, and Guogong still needed to prepare in advance. ”

"What? Wu Sangui and Azig want to enter Chu? When Wang Yan heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised.

The Azig Department pursued the Shun army all the way from Beijing and finally forced Li Zicheng to death, while Wu Sangui's soldiers and horses were the most elite existence in the Ming Dynasty.

Wu Sangui's Guanning Iron Cavalry had at least 30,000 people, and with the foot soldiers, there were at least 50,000 or 60,000 horses, and the soldiers and horses commanded by Azig, the Eight Banners and the Green Battalion, I am afraid that there were also 50,000 or 60,000 people, and the Qing soldiers who entered Chu were probably more than 100,000.

Wang Fuzhi on the side, his face also changed greatly when he heard the words, obviously he had not mentioned this point in the previous conversation with Yu Taichu.

Yu Taichu saw the expressions of the two of them, and hurriedly said: "Duoduo's recital is going to be sent to Beijing, whether Dolgon will send Wu Sangui and Azig to Chu, and the Heaven and Earth Society is not clear at present." The mobilization of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses is not an easy task, and the prince of the country does not have to worry too much~"

At this time, Wang Yan's expression was already very serious, "This information sent by the Heaven and Earth Society is very useful, it seems that this battle, this governor will have to fight if he doesn't fight~"

In the land of Huguang, there are 200,000 soldiers and horses, Wang Yan and He Tengjiao each have 100,000 horses, in terms of elite, Wang Yan's army wants to throw He Tengjiao a few streets, but He Tengjiao's subordinates are not all straw bale waste, Ma Jinzhong, Hao Shaoqi two people, can still fight.

At this time, Wang Yan's 100,000 horses were scattered all over Huguang, and more than 30,000 of them were stationed in Xinqiang River to guard against He Tengjiao.
