Chapter 168: The Monument

Zheng Chenggong's shoulders were wrapped in a white cloth, but the blood was still oozing.

Zhu Linmiao hurriedly helped him, "Da Mu has made great contributions this time, and he is a good student to cultivate." ”

"Your Highness, there is an important military situation that must be reported to you immediately." Zheng Chenggong covered the wound with his left hand and said, "Yesterday, four or five thousand Qing troops went out of the pass to attack the nearby rebels. Mulima, oh, the captive general in charge of garrisoning Xianxia Pass, once mentioned to the last general that 3,000 of this team of men and horses were borrowed from Quzhou. And according to Durd, Bolo's remaining defenders in Quzhou were only more than 3,000! ”

Zhu Linmiao was pleasantly surprised: "You mean, Quzhou is now an empty city?" ”

"Your Highness sees it." Zheng Chenggong nodded with difficulty, "But there are two thousand defenders on Xianxia Pass, and after the battle last night, there should be many fleeing to Guanbei." After these people leave the customs, they must go to Quzhou, and His Royal Highness should send men and horses to attack Quzhou City before them, otherwise it will be difficult to attack the city when the defeated troops gather in the city. ”

Quzhou is an important state capital in southern Zhejiang, and it is also the logistics base of the Qing army that went south to Guangxin, if it can take advantage of the emptiness in the city to capture it in one fell swoop, it can not only expand the power of the imperial court to Zhejiang, but also reduce the pressure of Yang Tinglin on Guangxin's side.

"Damu has done another great job." Zhu Linmiao saw that Zheng Chenggong's face was pale, and hurriedly asked him to rest first, so as not to worry about the affairs of the army.

Zhang Jiayu waited for the soldiers to help Zheng Chenggong leave, and said to Zhu Linmiao: "My lord, the defeated army has been fleeing north since last night, and it is only too late to immediately march to Quzhou." ”

"We're going to have a tough battle with Bolo soon, so we shouldn't take too many people." Zhu Linmiao thought for a while, "Even if it is an empty city, it can also be outwitted." ”

He asked Liu Guoxuan to call him again and give him a careful order.

"Your Excellency, it's a brilliant plan." After Zhu Linmiao finished speaking, Zhang Jiayu on the side immediately smiled heartily.

"This is a trick used by the Qing military, we might as well give it a try." Zhu Linmiao said to Liu Guoxuan again, "Lin Yaotian's righteous army has gone north to pursue the defeated army last night, you can bring him with you."

"If Quzhou is taken according to the plan, this group of rebels can help defend the city. If you don't have to enter the city, you can besiege Quzhou with the righteous army, looking for an opportunity to attack, even if you can't capture the city, you must prevent the defeated soldiers of Xianxia Pass from escaping into the city. ”

"Yes!"

Liu Guoxuan, as the main attacking force to seize Xianxia Pass, did not achieve any combat achievements last night, and he was holding back a lot of strength in his heart, regardless of fatigue at the moment, ordered 200 elite soldiers, took some objects, and hurried towards Quzhou.

After Liu Guoxuan was ordered to leave, Zhu Linmiao looked down the mountain, and now that he had captured Xianxia Pass, it could be said that he had obtained the strategic initiative in the entire Fujian campaign, and many things could be implemented next. It is necessary to take advantage of this huge advantage to gradually force the Qing army into a dead end, and finally completely annihilate it, and fight the prestige and morale of the Ming Dynasty in a war!

He glanced at the sky and said to Zhang Jiayu: "Let everyone rest for a while, and inform all the senior officers to come to my account at noon to discuss matters." ”

"Yes!"

"Before that," Zhu Linmiao looked around at the majestic Xianxia Ridge, and finally pointed to the most conspicuous mountain cliff road on the west side, "let Chen Yi lead the sappers to build a five-zhang stone tablet there, and engrave the names of the two hundred and twenty-three soldiers who died last night on it." On the back, the fierce battle of last night is engraved in detail. ”

He sighed lightly, "Let everyone know that it was these heroes who saved the entire Fujing with their lives in exchange for the hope of Ming Zhongxing!"

"This monument is called 'Xianxiaguan Heroes Monument'. One day I will destroy the Boluo thieves, until one day I will recover all the Daming rivers and mountains, and I will definitely come here again to pay respects. ”

"Yes!" Zhang Jiayu saluted solemnly and replied solemnly.

After lunch, all the lieutenants and above of the Longwei Army and the officers above the thousand generals of the Broken Battalion gathered in the newly erected Chinese army tent in Xianxia Pass.

Zhu Linwei first asked Zhang Jiayu to briefly introduce the operation of attacking Quzhou, and then he continued: "In this way, even if the city of Quzhou is not captured, the Qing army in Guangxin will also be shaken, and the grain and grass that originally supplied them from Quzhou will be cut off, so they can only get grain from Huizhou for more than 800 miles."

"On the way, we have to pass through Raozhou Mansion, and we can pass through Wandutang and let him divide the army into a road to rob grain. It won't be long before the Guangxin captivity army will be chaotic. ”

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this.

Zhu Linmiao said to Zhang Jiayu again: "Fang Guoan's chess can also be moved now." Send someone to send a secret letter to Shaoxing Mansion to tell him that our army has captured Xianxia Pass, and Boluo's department has been trapped in Fujing and has no time to take care of it. He wanted Fang Guoan to immediately take righteousness and take down the puppet officials of Ningbo, Jinhua, Taizhou and other state capitals in Zhejiang, and then express his allegiance to the imperial court, which can be used as a credit for determining the country and driving away the captives. ”

Fang Guoan received a warning from Zhu Linwei not long ago, and learned that someone might betray himself to Bolo, so he immediately stopped contacting other generals to join him anyway, and destroyed all the evidence that could be destroyed, and at the same time did not lead the army into Fujian as in history, giving Bolo a chance to kill him.

At present, the Qing army in the entire Zhejiang adds up to only more than 1,000 people, as long as Fang Guoan announces his return to the Ming Dynasty, his 20,000 troops can instantly sweep the entire Zhejiang even if their combat effectiveness is poor.

At that time, even if Hong Chengchou immediately went south from Nanjing, it would definitely be too late.

Although Fang Guoan is timid and fearful, and his combat ability to command the army is also very average, but now is the time to unite all the forces that can be united, Zhu Linmiao thought for a while and continued: "Tell him that as long as he is loyal to the country, I will do my best to promote him as the governor of Zhejiang." ”

He saw Zhang Jiayu nodding and writing it down, and then looked around at the generals in the account, and said: "Zhejiang is the icing on the cake, but our key point is in Jianning Mansion." ”

He looked at Yu Xin, "How's the movement over there in Bolo?" ”

"Lord Hui, it was reported yesterday that the Boluo striker has been out of Yanping and will be in the area of Tianxing Mansion."

Zhu Linmiao glanced at the map, frowned and nodded, "There are only more than five hundred miles left." We're going to have to find a way to make Bolo panic. ”

Gu Yanwu immediately bowed his hand and said: "First spread the news of our army's seizure of Xianxia Pass to Fujing, which can not only build the hearts of the army, but also calm the hearts of the people in Tianxingfu." ”

"Okay," Zhu Linmiao said, "I can also escort a few Jianyu officers from Xianxia Pass to parade around Fujing to boost my morale." It also let the people know that there is nothing to be afraid of Jiannu.

"It's a pity that Mulima is dead, otherwise it would have been better."

Gu Yanwu pointed to the map again and said, "My lord, there is still some grain and grass in Jian'an City, which can sustain the captives for a while. His subordinates suggested that when the captives did not have time to return and quickly conquer Jian'an with heavy troops, Bolo would run out of food immediately! ”

"I'm afraid it's not easy." Zhang Jiayu shook his head in a deep voice, "The previous army was Daxian Xiaguan, so Shi Lang designed to lure Shi Fu's main force to Jian'an, and at this time, there should be nearly 10,000 defenders in Jian'an City, and it is very difficult to take it for a while." ”
