Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 263 Situation, Military Order

Hearing the messenger's shout, Auntie Zhu immediately said: "Du Qing and Zhang Qing will stay here for now, and give advice on the military situation for the Palace's staff."

"Yes."

The two agreed.

Du Yinxi looked okay, but slightly worried.

Zhang Kuang got excited again, apparently he didn't expect that he would be able to participate in military affairs after being appointed by Aunt Zhu.

"Forsythia, bring the map of Chief Secretary Huguang to the deck."

Following Aunt Zhu's instructions, when Dong Qiongying sent the military report delivered by the messenger to the imperial ship, Lian Qiao also hung a large map of Huguang chief secretary obtained from later generations on a wooden frame, and carried it to the deck together with other court ladies.

Although Du Yinxi and Zhang Kuang were surprised to see such a detailed map, they didn't pay much attention to it—compared to all kinds of magical creations brought by Aimee Zhu from later generations, a detailed map is an ordinary thing.

On this map, it can be clearly seen that the Qianjiang River is located at the point where the diving flows into the Han River, and Mianyang Prefecture is at the uppermost reaches of the diving.

As for the Hanshui River, the source is long, and it goes northwest through Chengtian Mansion, Xiangyang Mansion, Yunyang Mansion, Xing'an Prefecture, and finally Hanzhong.

To the southeast, it enters Hanyang Prefecture and flows into the Yangtze River at Hankou Town.

Hankou Town is just across from Jiangxia, and Hanchuan in Hanyang Prefecture is in the center of Hanyang Prefecture.

Since the Shun army has breached the Qianjiang River, if it is still early in the day, if they go down the Han River, they may be able to reach Hanchuan on the same day.

There are two military reports that Aimee Zhu received, one was delivered by Ma Jinzhong and Wang Yuncheng when Qianjiang was breached.

The messenger went down the Han River to Hanchuan, and Jin Shenghuan added another one before being sent to Jiangxia.

Ma Jinzhong mainly reported how Qianjiang was breached, but in fact he was exonerated and defended himself.

After his spies learned that the Jingzhou Shun army had increased its troops, they did not expect that Li Zicheng led the army to come in person, but only thought that Bai Wang had transferred the Jingxiang Shun army.

And Jing Xiangshun's army is now only [-] to [-], so it is impossible to transfer too many.

Such a misjudgment made Ma Jinzhong think that even if the Jingzhou Shun army increased its troops, he could still fight.

He didn't overdo it, and asked Wang Yuncheng of Mianyang Prefecture for help.

Both of them came from the bandit army, and Wang Yuncheng immediately led the army to help them out of righteousness.

The two soldiers and horses were stationed at the mouth of Jinghe River.

This place is between Qianjiang County and the estuary where the submerged river flows into the Han River. It can be regarded as a strategic location. It can easily attack the enemy troops who want to go east along the Han River, and it can also be seen that the situation is not good and they can retreat in time.

If Shunjun wanted to attack Hanyang and Wuchang through the Hanshui River, he had to pull out his nail first.

What Ma Jinzhong didn't expect was that this time the Shun army not only had a large number of troops, it looked like hundreds of thousands, and it was led by Li Zicheng himself.

Li Zicheng divided the soldiers and horses into two parts, and one part went down the Han River slowly, attracting the attention of Ma Jinzhong and Wang Yuncheng.

The other part crossed the Han River further upstream, and attacked the Jinghekou camp from the flanks with the waterway army.

Because Ma Jinzhong and Wang Yuncheng were defeated, they could only lead the remaining soldiers and horses to retreat to Mianyang Prefecture.

As for Jin Shenghuan's military report, he said: Shun's army is so powerful that he may be difficult to resist in Hanchuan. He will immediately lead the army to retreat to Hankou and is willing to bear the responsibility.

Seeing Jin Shenghuan's memorial, Zhu Wei felt a little helpless.

With such a retreat, Jin Shenghuan undoubtedly gave up the Hanyang Mansion to the Shun Army.

But this matter can't be entirely blamed on Jin Shenghuan's timidity in fighting - Jin Shenghuan is not as good as the attacking Shun army in terms of the number of soldiers and horses, or the quality of soldiers.

Coupled with the influence of the "Jiangxia Change", the morale of the army fluctuated. If they had to fight Li Zicheng's army in Hanchuan, they would probably be defeated in one battle.

As for Jin Shenghuan sticking to Hanchuan for half a day, Zhu Yuxi received the military report in Jiangxia, immediately sent troops to support, and then Hanchuan defeated Li Zicheng... This kind of result is not impossible, but it can only be the most ideal situation. .

One is to ask Jin Shenghuan to be tough enough to fight, and the other is to ask Jin Shenghuan to trust her enough.

In fact, Jin Shenghuan did not have any of these two points, so he made the choice to retreat directly to Hankou.

Hao Guangming also watched the military report through the video on his mobile phone, and said: "Jin Shenghuan did this, although the Hanyang Mansion is temporarily lost, it is more convenient for you to reorganize his troops.

What's more, the reorganization of Jiangxia's original left army units has only been carried out for a few days. If you divide your troops to Hanchuan to fight Li Zicheng, your troops in Jiangxia will be weak.

If Li Zicheng uses the method of breaking Qianjiang to deal with you, and divides his troops to attack Jiangxia, the situation will be worse and more dangerous than it is now. "

At this time Zhang Kuang also clasped his hands and said: "I reported to the supervisor, I thought that if Jin Shenghuan didn't care about the responsibility of losing his land, he retreated to Hankou, but it would be convenient for our army to fight the Shun army in Hankou and Jiangxia.

Now Zuo Liangyu's various ministries are still being reorganized, and there are not many troops under Jian Guo's command. It is in our interest to wait here for the Shun Army and fight against them. "

Du Yinxi said: "Hankou and Jiangxia are indeed places that are conducive to the decisive battle between our army and the Shun army, but we still need to guard against Li Zi's troops crossing the river.

If so, whether he attacks elsewhere or attacks Jiangxia from the flank, it will not be good for us.

The minister suggested that Jian Guo immediately send orders to garrison troops at the docks and ports on the Yangtze River, so as to prevent the enemy from crossing the river.

In addition, a naval unit is being sent to inspect the river from Baling to Jiangxia. "

Auntie Zhu nodded slightly after hearing this, and then through the walkie-talkie, learned about the thoughts of Hong Niangzi, Zeng Ying, Yang Zhan, and Liu Wenxiu.

Finding that the four people's opinions were roughly the same as those of Hao Guangming, Du Yinxi, and Zhang Kuang, they felt completely at ease, and immediately issued several military orders in succession.

One is to order the Ming Dynasty to garrison troops along the Yangtze River to prevent the Shun army from crossing the river by detour.

The second is to use Xu Ensheng urgently, ordering him to immediately select some soldiers who belonged to him from the selected battalions, and divide hundreds of warships from the left army to form the third town of the Yangtze River Navy, responsible for patrolling The Yangtze River in the section from Baling to Jiangxia.

In the final analysis, Xu Ensheng could barely be regarded as a cold-blooded defector on the battlefield, and he had more trust from Auntie Zhu than Chang Deng.

Although in terms of ability, Zhu Yuxi is more optimistic about Chang Deng, but now it is difficult to use Chang Deng as the main general.

Of course, the main reason is that Aimee Zhu has no spare naval generals available for the time being.

Zeng Ying, Li Zhanchun, and Yu Dahai are responsible for leading the first and second towns of the Yangtze River Navy to fight the decisive battle with the Shun army who came to attack Hankou.

Liu Wenxiu is a rookie in the Navy, half a barrel of water, and is in charge of commanding the second town of the Imperial Guard.

She can only use Xu Ensheng urgently.

She was not afraid that Xu Ensheng would turn against Li Zicheng - one was that Xu Ensheng knew her strength and ability, and the other was that Xu Ensheng's family members were all in Jiangxia City.

The only concern is probably that Xu Ensheng met Li Zicheng's crossing troops on the Yangtze River and lost.

But that's extremely unlikely.

Li Zicheng neither had many real warships, nor was Xu Ensheng familiar with the water conditions of this section of the Yangtze River.

What's more, Xu Ensheng must be able to be regarded as the commander-in-chief directly under Zuo Liangyu, and to be in charge of half of the navy, he must have considerable water combat capabilities...

Finally, Auntie Zhu issued the most important third military order.

"I hereby temporarily appoint Zeng Ying as Admiral of the Jianghan Marine Army, Li Zhanchun as the first town of the Yangtze River Navy, Yu Dahai as the second town of the Yangtze River Navy, Yang Zhan as the third and fourth border guards, and Liu Wenxiu as the guard The second town of the army will be commanded by him, and he will fight against the intruders!"

Liu Zhu, who was in charge of dictating the military orders, was scribbling on the sidelines, his forehead dripping with sweat.

The voice of Zeng Ying and others taking orders did not come from the walkie-talkie.

In the end, it was Du Yinxi who was present at the scene who spoke first.

"Jian Guo, if you add Jin Shenghuan's troops, the left army soldiers and horses that Jiangxia City is reorganizing will have nearly 20 troops.

Under such circumstances, would it be too little for Jian Guo to leave only the first town of the imperial guards and thousands of imperial forest troops?
Although it is important to destroy Li Zicheng, it is even more important to supervise the safety of the country! "

At the end, Du Yinxi bowed deeply to Aimee Zhu.

Auntie Zhu hurriedly said: "Why is Du Qing here? Please get up quickly."

Seeing Aimee Zhu coming, Du Yinxi really didn't dare to let Aimee Zhu help him with her own hands, so she stood up tactfully.

Aunt Zhu said: "This palace has its own magical powers, so there will be no problem with safety. However, Du Qing's concerns are not unreasonable. There are many left troops gathered in Jiangxia, so we really need to pay attention.

Therefore, today Du Qing and Zhang Qing need to take part of the selected left army officers and soldiers to leave Jiangxia, or go elsewhere to continue training, or directly send them to Changsha and other state capitals in Hunan to open up wasteland.

It is estimated that the left army left in Jiangxia City can be reduced by about [-], so it will not be so difficult to control. "

Zhu Wei's recruitment of the Zuo Army is still based on the experience of recruiting the Daxi Army in Chengdu, which is mainly divided into three steps: selection, reorganization, and training.

The first two steps did not take much time. At this time, five or six days had passed since Hong Niangzi took Jiangxia. Except for Lu Guangzu's troops who had already come from Jiangbei, and Jin Shenghuan's troops who were about to come, the rest of the left army's battalions were all The selection has been completed, and the reorganization is nearing completion.

Therefore, it is possible to take these left army officers and soldiers who have completed the selection to other places for reorganization and placement.

After hearing what Zhu Yu said, Du Yinxi was obviously relieved, and said: "It turns out that the supervisor of the country has a solution long ago, but the minister is too worried.

The minister must earnestly complete the reorganization and resettlement, and will never be entrusted by the prison country! "

Auntie Zhu nodded with a smile, "If this is the case, Du Qing and Zhang Qing should disembark and rest first."

Du Yinxi said: "The business is urgent, how can I rest, so I went to the red admiral to discuss the matter of taking the eliminated Zuo Jun away from Jiangxia."

Du Yinxi wants to do things actively, of course Auntie Zhu will not stop her.

What's more, the two of them came all the way by boat, so it can't be said that they were tired from running around.

So they let them disembark and go to Jiangxia City.
