Chapter 124: Dispatch of Troops
After Gu Yanwu finished speaking, everyone in the tent looked at Zhu Linmiao in surprise - less than a quarter of an hour ago, he had just said that King Lu might not be able to resist, and then there was a report that the defense line of the Qiantang River had collapsed. If this is not the reincarnation of Kong Ming, it must be able to pinch it.
Zhu Linmiao also couldn't think about the reasons why history deviated from the track, things had already happened, and the top priority was to find a way to solve the current crisis.
He hurriedly recruited Zhang Jiayu and rushed to Yang Tinglin's camp with Zhen Zhen and Gu Yanwu.
There were already many generals in Yang Tinglin's big tent, and everyone was covered in a gloomy cloud, and when they heard someone report that King Chen was coming, they hurriedly got up to greet them. Especially Wan Yuanji, Zhu Youling and others, it was as if they had found the backbone, and their frowning brows were suddenly relaxed. In the previous several times when the military situation was urgent, it was King Chen, the anchor of the sea god, who stabilized the situation, and they all subconsciously felt that this time would be the same.
Yang Tinglin waited for the generals to gather, first briefly introduced the current situation, and then said: "This time the thief army is strong, and the king of Lu has fled to the sea, I expect that Zhejiang will soon be captured." The thieves are entangled with more than 70,000 people, and their greed is not limited to Zhejiang.
"If Quzhou falls, the thieves will continue to invade the south. Although there are mountains in the north of Fujing, the danger of Xianxia Pass should not be a big worry. However, if the thief army passes through Quzhou and enters Guangxin, our army needs to be deployed in advance. ”
After he finished talking about the purpose of convening this meeting, he didn't think about anything else at all, and looked directly at Zhu Linmiao.
As early as more than a month ago, still in this military tent, everyone was very optimistic about the situation, only King Chen said that King Lu might not be able to withstand the attack of Jianqing, and even mentioned that there would be a big battle on Guangxin's side. Now the general trend of Zhejiang is almost all said by Zhu Linmiao, which makes Yang Tinglin extremely impressed, and now he is completely with an attitude of "His Royal Highness King Chen, the battle situation will be all handed over to you to arrange".
Zhu Linmiao listened to the meaning of Yang Tinglin's words, obviously thinking that although the current battle situation was quite urgent, it was far from the point of being a desperate one.
Only Zhu Linmiao himself knew that the danger of Xianxia Pass could not stop Jianyu at all, because Zheng Zhilong would soon rebel and secretly ordered Shi Fu, who was stationed in northern Fujian, to transfer his headquarters from Xianxia Pass. When the Qing army arrived at Xianxia Pass, there was no Ming army guarding the pass, so Bo Luo waved his troops and drove straight in, and the soldiers invaded Fujian.
So right now, the entire Ming Dynasty has reached the edge of the cliff!
When he saw that everyone was looking at him, he was no longer polite at the moment, and then said: "Not only to guard against Guangxin, but also to rush to the aid of Fujing." In addition, I also have to ask the Holy Lord to go west as soon as possible and come to Jiangxi to ensure that nothing goes wrong......"
"Rush to Fukyo's aid?" On the side, Su Guansheng smiled and said, "Your Highness may not have been to Xianxia Pass. Xianxia Pass is connected with the high mountains in the east and west, there is a narrow road communication in the north and south, the majestic and steep gallop, the ancients Zeng Yun: 'The king of Nanyue lives in Baoquan Mountain, one person guards the danger, and a thousand people can not go up. ', how could Jianyu ......?"
"Shut up for me." Zhu Linmiao was very tired of this goods, he couldn't fight a war, he talked a lot of nonsense, he couldn't wait to break it for two days a day, he was still wasting time here, and immediately interrupted him unceremoniously, "Xianxia Pass is never safe." Guangxin Prefecture wanted to build a defensive line and resist the construction of the new city, so that it could not enter Fujing from Shanguan. On the other hand, it is even more necessary to be prepared to compete with the thief army for northern Fujian. ”
He clearly remembered that in history, the strategy of the Qing army was to attack at the same time on two fronts, attacking Xianxia Pass in northern Fujian and Shanguan in the west.
Subsequently, the Qing army poured into Fujian from the west and north, and after only two months, the entire territory of Fujian was captured. Even the Qing army Tong Yangjia and Li Chengdong continued to take advantage of the victory to the south, and soon captured Guangdong and Guangxi, and since then, the situation in the Southern Ming Dynasty has become completely uncontrollable.
All the generals looked at Zhu Linmiao in surprise, they didn't expect him to directly reprimand Scholar Su, but everyone was already dissatisfied with Su Guansheng, a "military blind" who always liked to participate in the war, and no one helped him say a word. Su Guansheng was even more ashamed and angry, blushing and unable to say a word for a long time.
"Does King Chen mean that Jianyu will enter Fujing?" Yang Tinglin frowned.
"If we move quickly, we may be able to stop the enemy before they cross the Xianxia Pass." Zhu Linmiao nodded, "So there is no room for delay at the moment, and we must go east immediately!" ”
Yang Tinglin listened to the rumbling cannons on the Ganjiang River, and asked, "What about Nanchang City?" ”
On the way to come just now, Zhu Linmiao had already made a plan, and said directly at this time: "For the current war situation, this king wants to arrange it like this, and I also invite Yang Butang and you to refer to it."
"First of all, Nanchang must be completely taken, otherwise there will always be no peace behind our army. I expect that in seven or eight days at most, Nanchang City will be broken. Therefore, Yang Butang first commanded the army to overcome Nanchang.
"On the other side, I will lead the Dragon Guard and the Broken Battalion to Fujing in advance, if the holy car has already left Jiangxi at that time, I will escort it to Ganzhou first, otherwise I will quickly enter Shanguan to welcome the west.
After Yang Butang took Nanchang, he immediately led the main forces of the Yunnan army and the Gui army, and went to Guangxin with Guo Shilang and Yongning Wangbu to set up defenses. If the thieves are few, they will fight to decide, and if the thieves are strong, they can gradually retire to the new city and strive to ensure the stability of Shanguan. Shanguan is the main road to the west of the saint, if there is no Shanguan, the big thing is dangerous. ”
Zhao Yinxuan's Dian army and Chen Zhao's Guangxi wolf soldiers totaled more than 12,000 people, all of which were relatively effective troops, especially the Guangxi soldiers, who had a long history of being good at fighting. Zhu Youzhen and Zhu Youling's troops are centered on the royal palace guards, and their combat effectiveness is also relatively strong.
With their main forces, plus Guo Weijing's 5,000 recruits, it should not be a big problem for more than 20,000 people to defend Guangxin, and in the worst case, they can always do it if they hold on to the new city for two months.
There are Dragon Guards and Broken Battalions on the Fujian side, plus some Fujian Ming troops who do not obey Zheng Zhilong's orders, and two months should be enough to deal with the main force of Boluo. When the Long Wei army freed up their hands, they could go west out of Shanguan and assist Yang Tinglin to retreat from the enemy.
Although all the generals present felt that King Chen was a little overly nervous, it was indeed very safe to arrange it like this, even if Jianyu did not attack Fujing, when King Chen led his troops out of Shanguan to reinforce Guangxin, there would be no loss. Second, King Chen's prediction last time was too accurate, and everyone was afraid that this time he would still be convinced, so such an arrangement was the only feasible strategy.
Therefore, including Yang Tinglin, all the generals nodded, agreeing with Zhu Linmiao's deployment.
Only Wan Yuan Ji hurriedly said: "Your Highness, why haven't you heard that my ministry has made arrangements?" ”
Zhu Linmiao immediately said: "Wandutang has a great responsibility. Although the fierce battle between Luckedhun and the loyal battalion in Huguang was in full swing, he needed to guard against Dolgon's desperate abandonment of Huguang and suddenly transferred Luckedhun into Jiangxi. If Wandutang can hold the Jiujiang ferry, it should be safe. ”
Although there is no such thing as Luckedhun's sudden transfer to Jiangxi in history, Bolo's sudden smuggling of the Qiantang River has made Zhu Linmiao dare not rely too much on historical memory, after all, now that the historical trajectory has begun to change, it must be planned in advance.
