Chapter 153: Return to Shaowu Mansion
"That's a wonderful way!" Huang Daozhou nodded and praised, "There are more than 70,000 Ming troops in Fujian, although they served Zheng Zhilong at the beginning. However, now that the Zheng family has surrendered, there must be loyal people who are ashamed to be with them.
"When the order of the imperial court arrives, there will be a response. No matter how much the army is, in the end, the soldiers of the court will become more numerous. ”
Zhu Linmiao just nodded, in fact, he didn't expect many officers to respond.
Those who have discipline are like Jiang Zhengxi, and after learning of Zheng Zhilong's treason, they immediately broke with him and stood on the side of the imperial court.
At this point, he is still waiting, and he basically doesn't think that he can repent. These people are ostensibly Ming officers, but in fact they are a group of warlords who are good at speculating and drilling camps. When Zheng Zhilong's power was strong, he listened to Zheng Zhilong, and if Fujian was occupied by Jianlu, they would definitely compete to lose their sincerity to Bolo.
Fujian has been run by the Zheng family for a long time, especially the army, which is intertwined, and it was difficult to dig out these "tumors" in the past.
And now it is time to take advantage of the opportunity of the Jianyu soldiers to stir up the sediment at the bottom of the pond and scoop up the turtle shrimp lurking in the depths.
Sending those prison guards naturally has no binding effect on these Zheng generals or opportunists, but they can collect intelligence and evidence, and when they close the net in the future, they will be of great use.
If you want to be an officer of the Ming Dynasty, this is the last chance. Those who occupy the position of an officer but do not serve the Ming Dynasty, then wait to be liquidated by the Queen of the Autumn!
Early the next morning, Zhu Linmiao led his army back to Shaowu Mansion, and after preparing to join the main force of the Longwei army, he rushed to Xianxia Pass to carry out the most important part of the entire plan - to capture the pass.
Before leaving, he suddenly remembered an important person, and it took him a long time to remember that his name should be Huang Wenhuan. In history, it was he who secretly opened the gate of Fuzhou, and this time he had to prepare in advance to prevent accidents.
He turned back and told Huang Daozhou about this person, but he could only say that he was a Fuzhou gentry, and he was greatly suspected of being captured, and asked Huang Ge to send someone to monitor him.
Huang Daozhou wrote it down carefully, and he couldn't help but be surprised that King Chen could even know about the secret things in Tianxing Mansion, if it weren't for his extremely wide source of information, he would really be able to pinch it.
Zhu Linmiao came back this time, but happened to meet another person, who was Su Guansheng, a university scholar.
Scholar Su was unwilling to be lonely in his life and had a desire for power. After he was ignored at the military meeting outside Nanchang, he entered Guangdong and with the help of Gu Yuanjing, the political envoy of Guangdong, he quickly recruited thousands of men and horses, and hurried to Tianxing Mansion to make war achievements.
Originally, he was just passing by Changting City and planning to enter the city to repair, only to learn that the queen and the crown prince were actually in the city.
Huang Daozhou and Chen Wang discussed it and decided to inform him of Longwu's death, after all, Su Guansheng was also a cabinet scholar. And Zhu Linmiao remembered that although Su Guansheng had no ability, he was also a loyal minister who committed suicide and martyrdom in history, and he should not leak the news of the emperor's death.
Su Guansheng was extremely shocked when he heard the news, and first cried for a while as usual, and then said that there were 1,200 new powerful troops under his command, and then there was a message of "Seeing the ministers in times of danger, and knowing loyalty and goodness in the world", saying that he would return to the capital with the prince.
Huang Dao Zhou was also very pleased to see that there were more than 1,000 troops all of a sudden. Seeing this, Zhu Linmiao hurriedly reminded him quietly that during the battle, he must not let the soldiers of the Su University and the main force mix together, and should not expect too much from its combat effectiveness.
So far, there are more than 3,000 people escorting the prince, and there has been no trace of the Qing army on the road from Tingzhou to Tianxing Mansion through the south of Yanping, and there should be no problem in arriving safely.
A few days later, Zhu Linmiao led a group of cavalry to arrive at the garrison of the Dragon Guard Army in Shaowu Mansion. In fact, he has only been in Changting for more than ten days, but there are too many things during this period, which makes him feel like he has been away for months.
Since Bolo's main direction of attack was Fuzhou, Xinghua and other state capitals in the west, the large army of the Dragon Guard Army did not encounter enemy troops during this time.
However, the logistics convoy of the Zhao family in Shaozhou Prefecture came and crossed the Shanguan Pass through Jiangxi to enter Fujian, bringing more than 5,000 stones of grain and grass, plus the previous storage of the army, which was about enough for the Longwei Army and the broken camp to eat for about a month and a half.
However, after thousands of miles of long-distance transportation, this batch of grain and grass is as much as eight times higher than the purchase price, and with the intensification of the war in Fujian, the transportation of grain and grass in the future may become more and more difficult.
This time to Xianxia Pass, you can only win, not lose! Zhu Linmiao did not stop, and immediately ordered the whole army to pull out the camp and march towards Pucheng on the east side of Shanling.
And Xianxia Pass is just a hundred miles north of Pucheng, Pucheng is the first big city in and out of the pass.
Zheng Chenggong and Zhu Linmiao walked side by side.
The two were talking in a low voice, and Zheng Chenggong suddenly raised his eyebrows and said, "Your Highness's plan is brilliant!" In the end, the general thinks that it is just right. ”
After leaving Changting, Zhu Linmiao took him with him, anyway, his job as the military governor of the imperial camp has been replaced by Huang Mingjun, and now he has to find a way to let him join the Dragon Guard.
Zhen Zhen followed a few feet behind the two, but he couldn't hear what they were talking about, so he couldn't help but look at it.
Zhu Linmiao smiled and said, "I was afraid that Damu would be embarrassed, after all, ......"
"To serve the country, it is incumbent on the general!" Zheng Chenggong immediately said without hesitation.
"Good!"
As he was talking, a hussar galloped in front of him, and when he was far away, he shouted: "Report! A few miles away on the northeast side, there are captives, and the number is about 400! ”
Zhu Linmiao's eyes sank, and he asked the scout again, "Are you sure it's Jianyu?" ”
"Sure! Zheng Pai always used binoculars to check repeatedly, and the military uniforms were all shaved. ”
Nowadays, telescopes are extremely popular among the Dragon Guards, especially artillery and cavalry. When the hussars were scouting, almost ten of them were equipped with one pair. Ji Liang's profiteer earned Zhu Linmiao a lot of silver for this.
"The herald ordered the 2nd Cavalry Battalion to immediately detour to the rear of the enemy in two directions." Zhu Linmiao almost immediately instructed Zhang Jiayu, "When the outflanking is completed, a battalion of heavy cavalry will annihilate the enemy in front." ”
"Yes!"
This operation to the north of Xianxia Pass let Jianyu know as late as possible.
At present, there are still nearly three hundred miles away from Pucheng, and if this small group of Qing troops shows the movement of the Dragon Guard, it will inevitably attract more enemies to block it, and even make Xianxia Pass vigilant.
So all these hundreds of captives must be encapsulated! It's just that I don't know why Jian Yu suddenly appeared in Shaowu Mansion, and I don't know if there are other enemy troops nearby. If you use artillery, you will likely be alarmed, so you can only rely on heavy cavalry to break the formation.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the herald went to spread the battle mission of each battalion, another hussar came to report that more than 100 captives had appeared on the embankment a few miles to the east, and the shape was sneaky.
Zhu Linmiao casually picked up the map and looked at it, and when he saw the river embankment that the hussars said, combined with the location of the current prisoner before, he was immediately surprised.
Zhang Jiayu also dialed his horse and looked at the map, and his eyes immediately widened.
"My lord, the thief is cheating!"
"Get the herald back!"
The two said almost at the same time.
