Chapter 450 Zhangzhou internal and external discussion strategy
The yellow sand wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will not be returned if it is not broken.
The Ming army was fierce, and in just a few days, the army marched east from Chaozhou and crossed Dongxi, captured Zhangpu, Nanjing and other counties, and directly entered Fujian, stationed under the city of Zhangzhou.
Tong Yangjia and Li Chengdong saw that the Ming army was menacing, morale was like a rainbow, and there were 30,000 horses, but they did not dare to fight Wang Yanlang, but retreated into Zhangzhou, cleared the wilderness, and held on.
In fact, to say that Wang Yan has 40,000 horses, there is not much advantage in terms of troops, and at least half of the new soldiers may not exceed the Zhangzhou Qing army, but Tong Yangjia and Li Chengdong also have scruples, that is, among the Qing soldiers in Zhangzhou, half of the Zheng soldiers surrendered, you must know that this time not only Wang Yan, Zheng Chenggong also participated in the war, and with Zheng Chenggong's identity and appeal to the old Zheng family, as long as the Ming army wins a few battles, the Zheng soldiers in the entire Fujian will be unstable.
Outside the city of Zhangzhou, the forts of Longxi and Beixi estuaries were destroyed by the Zheng naval warships, the Zheng naval army burned the iron locks of the Hengjiang River, and the warships sailed directly into the city of Zhangzhou, and the tall warships, in front of the Qing army, swore the majesty of the former overlord of the East China Sea.
Guangdong's 40,000 Ming troops and 30,000 people are camped for dozens of miles under the city, and the endless banners are fluttering, covering the sky and the sun, and the voices of people and horses are neighing, and the murderous spirit is overwhelming.
Li Chengdong and Tong Yangjia, who originally belonged to Duoduo's East Road Group, started from Henan all the way down to the four towns, broke the river defense, occupied Nanjing, swept eastern Zhejiang, and entered Fujian, and the progress was very smooth.
At this time, the Qing army in the city, in the face of the Ming army from Guangdong counterattack, but a little panicked, since the Ming Dynasty, they have never seen the Ming army such a big battle, the soldiers are frightened, the fallen people in the city, hearing that the official army counterattack, are all secretly happy, only hope to break the city as soon as possible, end the suffering.
On the city of Zhangzhou, Tong Yangjia and Li Chengdong observed the camp of the Ming army, and when they saw the formation of the Ming army, they were a little surprised, Li Chengdong said a little seriously: "Wang Shiheng has become a general trend in just three years. ”
Tong Yangjia's military exploits are not as good as Li Chengdong's, but he is a member of the Tong clan in Liaodong, so he still holds Li Chengdong at his head and is recognized by the Qing court as the governor of Fujian, and has the right to control Li Chengdong, the governor.
Governor Zhang also thinks that Wang Shiheng, the peak of the soldiers is fierce, since Yangzhou got out of trouble, it is like a tiger entering the forest, Jiao into the sea, invincible all the way, no defeat! This time he came to attack in a big way, and the momentum was like a rainbow, so he instructed you and me not to seize its edge, and to use the strong city of Zhangzhou, which has been in operation for a long time, to frustrate its sharp spirit, and wait for his soldiers to be tired. ”
Li Chengdong propped his hands on the wall, nodded, and looked out like a Ming army camp: "Governor Zhang wants us to stick to the consumption of the Ming army, and when the Ming army is exhausted, we will counterattack, I agree with this very much, the city wall of Zhangzhou has been reinforced by this town, and there are 30,000 soldiers and horses in the city, it is not so easy to attack, and the confidence to defend the city, this town has it, but ~"
"What is Admiral Li worried about?" Tong Yangjia saw that Li Chengdong wanted to speak and stopped, his eyes narrowed, and he whispered: "Are you worried that Shi Fu, Hong Xishan and other old generals of the Zheng family in the city are secretly communicating with Wang Yan?" ”
The Manchus, as an alien dynasty established by an oligarchy, wanted to rule a huge world, and it was impossible to say that they were not afraid, so they were always on guard against the Han people, but the Manchus were too few, and they had to rely on the Han people to rule China.
In the process of their rule, they gradually formed a chain of trust because of their interests, first the Eight Banners themselves, then the Eight Banners of Mongolia, the Eight Banners of the Han people, and among the Eight Banners of the Han people, the Liaodong Han people were the first to be attached to the Han officials and the green camp in the north, and finally the officials and Ming troops who surrendered in the south.
Li Chengdong was originally ranked second to last, and he was not very trusted by the Qing court, and was often suspected of having two hearts, but now that he has become the Eight Banners, he has changed from being the object of suspicion to doubting others.
However, although he was also worried about the old Zheng family, it was not the same thing that he didn't say just now. "Lord Futai, although the old Zheng clan is not very reliable, but now the situation is unclear, even if they collude with Wang Yan and Zheng Chenggong, they will not do anything immediately, after all, no matter what, in today's world, my Qing Dynasty still has a general trend, unless we suffer a big defeat, otherwise they will not easily defect to the Ming army."
Li Chengdong hooked up with Wang Yan before, as a person who came over, he consciously understood the mind of Zheng's generals, and bet on both sides, without suitable conditions, without seeing the development of the situation clearly, and would not easily change his position.
"Then what is Li Duzhen worried about?" Tong Yangjia frowned slightly, a little puzzled.
Li Chengdong looked back at him and explained: "The old department of the Zheng clan does have to be monitored by the wall, but it is still up to them to defend the city. And what I am most worried about is that with Wang Shiheng's prestige, I am afraid that I will not fail to see Governor Zhang's intentions, and he may not be able to storm Zhangzhou. ”
Tong Yangjia's face sank slightly, "Ben Fu understands a little, but since I don't know what tactics Wang Yan uses at the moment, then you and I will first stabilize the interior of Zhangzhou, eliminate unstable factors, and see the move." ”
In the city of Zhangzhou, when Tong Yangjia and Li Chengdong analyzed the battle situation, many Ming army generals also gathered in Wang Yan's tent in the Ming army camp under the city.
"Tong and Li are two thieves, who have been operating Zhangzhou for half a year, driving the people of Zhangzhou and making this city taller and thicker, as if it has become a strong city. Looking at it again, the two thieves almost gave up the previous Dongxi defense line, and the other counties in Zhangzhou Mansion basically did not garrison troops, but gathered troops to retreat into Zhangzhou, obviously wanting to fight a defensive counterattack. Li Guo, who was dressed in military uniform, pointed on the sand table and said loudly.
Wang Yan withdrew 10,000 people from Zhongzhen Town, and Li Guo was very familiar with the situation in Zhangzhou because he had been fighting against Tong and Li on the front line of Dongxi years ago, so he was also transferred to fight.
"Li Duzhen is right, the Qing soldiers want to use the strong city to consume our army, wait for our army to attack for a long time, and then counterattack, so the last general thinks that the battle of Zhangzhou cannot be consumed for a long time, and it must be resolved quickly." Supervising Wang Shixiu's sonorous and powerful words.
"Guogong, the last general is willing to lead the people of the headquarters to break the city within a time limit." Liu Shun, the head of Zhongwu, did not change his brave and ruthless nature, and took the initiative to ask for help.
When Wang Yan left Guangdong, because of his trust, he entrusted Guangdong to him to guard, at that time his status was on par with Dai Zhifan, and he was considered to be the second and third of the generals under Wang Yan, but after Wang Yan returned to Guangdong with the army, he was an old man of Wang Yan's faction, and his position was a little embarrassing. They all bowed their heads.
