Chapter 704 The whole army is ready to be drafted
It is said that the unity of the three schools can fight against the Manchus, but the truth is that it is difficult to achieve true unity.
In history, Nanming had at least three or more chances to turn around, but in the end they all failed, looking at the root cause, it was not because the Manchu Qing was too strong, but because Nanming had internal problems, and there was always a critical moment, and there was infighting, which made the good situation collapse.
After reading the letter, Lu Jianguo really felt that Wang Yan had the world in mind and his overall view, and he praised Wang Yan's unparalleled national warriors.
Of course, he didn't want to dig a pit, wave a hoe, and loosen the corners of the court for the court, he hugged Wang Yan unevenly, saying that such a pure minister with a heart for the world was not allowed to be allowed by the court, which was really a loss to the court, and then he euphemistically said that if Wang Yan could support him, he would not treat him like Longwu.
King Lu was excited by Xia Wanchun, and was moved by Wang Yan's letter, the weight of the world in his heart gradually overwhelmed his self-interest, and after weighing the pros and cons, he immediately decided to send troops.
Seeing this, Zhang Huangyan couldn't help but say to Xia Wanchun: "My lord is like a stream, and there are people who have the virtue of a king." ”
King Lu has been up and down for four years, and the bad problems formed by pampering and pampering during the period of the clan are basically wiped out in the upheaval and battles, and he is now doing things very decisively.
Silent decided to hunt Jinling with Longwu and Wang Yan, and he also had to fight.
As soon as he decided to send troops, he immediately gathered 20,000 elites, led nearly 100,000 righteous troops, learned to be martial, and launched a personal expedition regardless of his own safety.
For a time, King Lu led Zhang Mingzhen, Xie Qian, Ruan Jin, Ding Keze and other generals to Yangzhou, pinned down Duoduo's troops, assisted the main force on the West Road, and waited for an opportunity to seek Yangzhou.
Xia Wanchun saw that King Lu pulled people out in a very short time, and knew that King Lu was actually preparing early, so he immediately sent someone to report back to Wang Yan quickly, and King Lu had already sent troops.
At this time, with Wang Yan's intentional cooperation and matchmaking, the four largest armed forces within the Ming Dynasty all participated in the Jiangnan War, gradually pushing the war on the east and west fronts to the top.
In the two world wars, Germany suffered a big loss in two-front warfare, and the current Qing army is the same, although the Qing soldiers still have an advantage in terms of strength, but in the process of fighting, they are involved everywhere.
When the time came to inquire in May, in the battle in Jiangbei, after ten days of fierce fighting, Dai Zhifan broke through Shucheng, Li Shutai only led dozens of cavalry to flee into Hefei, Dai Zhifan followed, the soldiers surrounded Hefei City, most of the county towns in Luzhou Prefecture fell to the wind, Hefei was precarious.
Duoduo reorganized the army in Yangzhou and was about to pounce on Hefei and defeat Dai Zhifan first, but at this time, Lu Wang's army pressed Yangzhou, which made Duoduo furious.
He originally wanted to let go of King Lu's army first, so as to concentrate his forces to deal with the Western Front, so he hurriedly gave up the siege of Rugao and withdrew the army.
Duoduo hurriedly ordered his troops and horses, ready to teach this group of jumping clowns a lesson, but he pulled the soldiers across the Grand Canal, and Lu Wangjun immediately retracted back, which was very obscene, making Duoduo in a dilemma.
After a few days of stalemate, urgent documents from Hefei were sent one after another, and Duoduo had no choice but to transfer Ma Guanghui from Huai'an to Yangzhou to sit in the town, and he divided his troops to rescue Hefei.
On the south bank of the Yangtze River, the army of King Lu in Siming Mountain received the edict of King Lu, and led an army of 10,000 by Feng Jing, a squire of the military department, and Wang Yi, a general, to lead an army of 10,000 out of the mountain, break through Shangyu, disrupt eastern Zhejiang, and contain the Qing soldiers in Yuhang, so that Songjiang Mansion, which was besieged by Zheng Chenggong, could not be rescued.
The progress of the army of Longwu and Wu was the most rapid, and he took advantage of the rainy weather in the south of the Yangtze River in April and May, and the water level of the river rose, and ordered the soldiers and soldiers to build a dam to block the water storage of the Chikou River, and prepare for water to irrigate Guichi City.
After the defender Jin Li found out the intentions of the Ming army, he had to lead the defenders to fight, leading 30,000 people to prevent the Ming army from building embankments, and the two sides fought in the west of the Chikou River.
Jin Shenghuan laid down a strict formation along the embankment, took the embankment as the city, shot the position with bows and arrows and birds, and gave the Qing soldiers great damage, Jin Li could not break through for a long time, and Jin Shenghuan placed the heavy troops on the left and right wings, at this time, he outflanked him, and Li Yuanyin, who was named the champion by Longwu because he killed Mandahai, led three thousand Li soldiers, and first defeated Jin Li's flank,
Under the chaos of the Qing army, Jin Li led the army to retreat, Jin Shenghuan chased and killed all the way, not giving the Qing army a chance to breathe, Jin Li had to abandon Guichi and retreat into Taiping Mansion.
Emperor Longwu saw this great victory, his heart was excited, in early June, he raised a large army to go straight to Wuhu, soldiers and horses from Nanjing only 200 miles.
From March to June, the fighting had been going on for almost three months, and the Ming army launched a large-scale counteroffensive, achieving certain results in all directions.
In Wuchang Mansion, Wang Yan received a lot of information about the war every day, most of which was good news, but he still did not relax, but increased his vigilance.
As three months passed, equipment from Canton and gunpowder bought from Japanese and Portuguese merchants had filled several warehouses in Wuchang.
The various units of the Wuzhong Army also completed the assembly in Wuchang two months ago, and made up for the shortfalls, and are now running in and exercising, waiting for Wang Yan's order to send troops.
Because of the war, the people were requisitioned, and the construction of Hanyang New City has been completely stopped.
Outside the city of Hanyang, which was beginning to take shape, 105,000 loyal troops were stationed in the wilderness to the east of the new city, and the big tents were one after another, spreading neatly and endlessly. The Dongting Sailor was also transferred to Wuchang, and hundreds of warships were moored in the water village, with masts like forests, and the scene was spectacular.
At this time, Wang Yan and a group of generals came to the school field, only to see a foot army of nearly 1,000 people, drilling, they were all wrapped in iron armor, and even their faces were ghostly, which was the iron army that Wang Yan focused on building.
Since the beginning of last year, after more than a year, the workshop under the jurisdiction of the ordnance supervision has finally gathered enough for this thousand sets of armor, and the armor of the Iron Man Army finally does not have to be pieced together and has been standardized.
At this time, nearly a thousand soldiers waved the war horse broadsword in their hands in unison, and the wooden stake with thick arms in front of them was immediately cut off in unison.
On the side of the 1,000 Iron Man Army, the Kesheng Infantry Army was also practicing, 5,000 soldiers with Lu Mi guns in their hands, taking turns to raise their guns and shoot, the planks one hundred and fifty steps away were splashed with sawdust, and the school field was filled with thick smoke.
This made the eyes of the generals behind Wang Yan shine, but even if they were itching, it was useless, these weapons were just enough to equip the superintendent, and if the other towns wanted, they would have to wait for a while.
Seeing the expressions of the generals, Wang Yan smiled slightly, and said, "Ben Fan, let you see one more thing, it is estimated that everyone will not be able to sleep." ”
After Wang Yan finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a team of 300 guards walked to the school field with guns.
The generals didn't see anything unusual, but Chen Bangyan and the others saw it and said in surprise: "Your Highness, this is Zhao Shizhen's electric switch?" ”
When Chen Bangyan spoke, the 300-strong guards had already lined up in formation, and before the generals could react, the guards in the first column took out a gun and put it on, and the gun was a shot, and everyone was immediately blinded.
Li Guo exclaimed, "Damn, don't ignite, don't load!" ”
At this time, the three rows of gunners took turns to shoot, and after each shot, they immediately replaced the guns, and the speed was astonishing.
Wang Yan saw that everyone was dumbfounded, and said with a smile: "The ignition device of this electric gun is different from that of the Lumi gun, it is the ignition method of the fire rope, which is improved to strike fire, and the ammunition is pre-loaded with the sub-gun, and it is loaded into the gun tube in turn to fire, so the rate of fire is extremely high, which is somewhat similar to the small Franc machine." ”
Gao Yigong couldn't help but ask: "With such a sharp weapon, why didn't Your Highness make more." ”
Wang Yan sighed: "This electric gun was made last year, but the process is complicated, the manufacturing is slow, the cost is too high, and there are many shortcomings of its own, one is that the air tightness is not good, which affects the range, and the other is that the ignition device is defective, and sometimes it can't catch fire, so the cannon casting workshop barely produced 300 pieces and then stopped." Until the beginning of this year, the maritime merchants got a batch of guns from the hands of the Dutch, and were taken by the sailors to attack the city, and the results were very useful, which attracted the attention of the ordnance superintendent. ”
