Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 308 Despondent and lazy to slander the government, gather the stars to attack the city

After hearing Liu Zhaoji's words, Shi Kefa turned his head to look in the direction of Nanjing, shook his head, and said bitterly: "Do you also believe that the army of Princess Jian Guo defeated Zuo Liangyu and went east? It means that Zuo Liangyu sent troops to go east. , are more convincing than such words.”

"What do you mean by supervisor?" Liu Zhaoji was just a small general with thousands of people, and he was relatively pure. He didn't know much about the disputes in the court, so he couldn't help frowning and asking questions.

Shi Kefa didn't speak.

He Gang next to him sighed and explained for Shi Kefa: "Nowadays, there are eunuchs in the court. Ma Shiying, Ruan Dayue and other traitors have long wanted to kill the governor, so how could they send troops to rescue the governor?"

Liu Zhaoji frowned even tighter, and said, "Isn't it? Even if they have enmity with the supervisor, they wouldn't risk the country's major affairs, would they?
Once Yangzhou cannot be defended, the Qing army will march on the Yangtze River.Although the Yangtze River is a natural danger, how can the long river bank be defended?
The Qing army was coming in menacingly. If they crossed the Yangtze River, wouldn't the capital be in danger? "

He Gang smiled wryly and said: "Liu Zongbing, Ma Shiying, Ruan Dayue and others are traitors, how can the country's safety be in their hearts?

You can see that they transferred the Marquis of Jingnan under the pretext of such absurd things as "Princess Jian Guo led the army to the east", and you know that in their hearts, state affairs are no different from child's play. "

Liu Zhaoji also felt that the "princess supervising the country" was too ridiculous, let alone "the princess led an army to defeat Zuo Liangyu and go east".

Zuo Liangyu was a great warlord with an army of 80 who ruled the Yangtze River. What kind of strength does the army under the princess need to defeat him?
It sounds unbelievable.

I don't know how the princes of the court transferred Jingnan Hou because of this. Could it be that Ma Shiying, Ruan Dayue and others wanted to use this to kill Shi Dushi?

Even though Liu Zhaoji didn't know much about high-level political struggles, he still felt that Ma Shiying's exchanging Jiangbei for Shi Kefa's life was also absurd and unbelievable.

So he said: "Master, no matter what, we will defend this Yangzhou. The general believes that there will always be sensible people in the court who will send troops to support."

Shi Kefa didn't bother arguing with a general about this kind of thing, and was disheartened, so he said perfunctorily: "I hope."

After speaking, go down to the top of the city.

He was going to go back and write his suicide note.

'Mother, wife, uncle and younger brother each, um, and leave one for Doduo, so that he will not slaughter the people after he breaks the city. '

Shi Kefa felt that the matter had come to an end, and he had nothing to do but live and die in the city to show his loyalty.

···
The next day.

After breakfast, Duoduo, who took the position of General Dingguo to command the Qing army in the south, formally raised his account to discuss matters.

All the soldiers and horse leaders under his command rode fast horses to his big tent to listen to orders.

Li Chengdong, who moved his camp to the south of Yangzhou city yesterday, was the last one to arrive. He entered the tent and glanced around, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This time, King Yu's subordinates really are a gathering of stars.

I saw Duoduo sitting high on the handsome tiger-skin chair.

The closest to him below, and also seated in Mazha, are two famous generals of the Jueluo clan.

The plain-looking middle-aged man in his 30s on the left is Chu Ying's third son, Doro Belle Nikan.

The one on the right looked only in his early thirties, tall and strong, with two beards. He was Abatai's third son, Boluo, the son of Gushan Beizi.

After these two people, the Jueluo clan who also sat in the same Mazha was Nurhachi's nephew, Manchu Military Minister Handai.

Below are the senior military officers of Manchuria, Baiyintu, Tulai, Ashan, Nushan, Ahanikan, Yide, and Marahi.

Then there are Gongsun Wang Kong Youde, Huaishun King Geng Zhongming of the Han Army Banner, and Shandong Governor and Mele Zhangjing Zhang Cunren of the Han Army Banner.

The last ones to strike were all the great Ming generals in the pass.

But these people are also ranked high and low.

At the front are Xu Dingguo, Li Jiyu, and Pingbo Liu Zhong, who had long surrendered to the Qing court in Henan, and Li Chengdong, Yang Chengzu, and other Jianghuai generals of the Ming Dynasty who had surrendered to the Qing court not long ago.

Li Chengdong saw that Li Qifeng and Gao Fengqi were kneeling in the tent with their buttocks pouting at this time, obviously pleading guilty to Duoduo, so he quickly knelt down too.

But subconsciously, he just knelt down on one knee.

"The last general did not plan well last night, please punish the king of Yu!"

Yesterday he was still in a good mood, but Duoduo, who said he would invite Li Chengdong and others to dinner, was looking sullen at the moment.

He sat down on the handsome seat, looked down, and said gloomyly: "Punishment? Is it useful? The opportunity to easily capture Yangzhou is just wasted by you!"

Li Chengdong stopped talking.

His apology was just to show his attitude, not really thinking that he had made a mistake - what happened last night was obviously due to poor planning by Li Qifeng, Gao Fengqi and others, and the Ming army noticed it and was forced to leave the city early.

The whole thing took less than half an hour.

In such a short period of time, it was difficult for them to detect the changes in the city, and it was too late to respond, let alone take the opportunity to capture Yangzhou City.

Sure enough, Duoduo stepped down from the commander-in-chief, stood in front of Li Qifeng and Gao Fengqi, and said, "You two are mainly responsible for this crime. Tell me, do you have a plan to make up for your mistakes?"

Li Qifeng and Gao Fengqi looked at each other, but they were speechless.

In the end, Gao Fengqi tentatively said: "The lower officials are willing to go to the city to report that they are powerful, and the persuasion history can be law."

"Before you failed to persuade him to surrender in the city, it will be useful to go now?" Duoduo sneered, but then changed his words, "Forget it, this king will give you another chance.

If this persuasion fails, the thousands of people under your command will be the first to ascend when the city is attacked in the afternoon. "

Hearing this, Li Qifeng couldn't help but said, "Siege the city in the afternoon?"

Duoduo said: "Our Hongyi cannons arrived last night. Since we have the cannons to help, if we don't capture Yangzhou City as soon as possible, will we keep them for the New Year?"

When it came to the end, Doduo's tone was cold, obviously showing killing intent.

In his opinion, if these Ming troops who surrendered are unusable, it is better to kill them early, so as not to waste the food and pay in the army.

Li Qifeng and Gao Fengqi didn't dare to say any more, they said yes, got up and stood near the door of the big tent.

Immediately after Duoduo arrived in Yangzhou, the first military meeting began.

It is said that it is a military discussion, but in fact, Duoduo probably discussed the siege strategy with the bannermen and generals long ago, and Li Chengdong and other Ming Dynasty surrendered generals can only listen to orders.

The Qing army's siege strategy is also very simple-the main attack is on the north, and the remaining three sides are feigned attacks. The task is to disperse the Ming army and prevent the Ming army from breaking through.

In the early stage, the Qing army only dispatched [-] Hongyi cannons from Kong Youde's department and other artillery to bombard the city walls and buildings in the city. Li Chengdong and other surrendered troops were responsible for attacking the city. Break through Yangzhou in one fell swoop.

After hearing this, Li Chengdong, Yang Chengzu and other generals couldn't help but slander: What do you mean waiting for us to test out the strength of the Ming army?With Li Qifeng and Gao Fengqi here, hadn't the strength of the Ming army in the city been clearly stated a long time ago?
With such an arrangement, it is clear that they want these surrendered troops to be used as cannon fodder to consume the strength of the Ming army.

Even though he understood the sinister intentions of Duoduo's military arrangement and was slandered in his heart, none of the surrendered generals dared to raise any objections.

Don't look at the fact that outside the city of Yangzhou, there are as many as [-] to [-] troops from the Ming Dynasty, several thousand more than the Eight Banners Army of the Manchu and Han Dynasties.

But if the two sides fight, the Eight Banners Army only needs to send out [-] to [-] soldiers and horses, and they will be defeated or even unable to escape.

Because this time the Eight Banners Army not only has a large number of cavalry, but also the elite navy led by Geng Zhongming is on the side, whether it is on the ground or in the water, there is nowhere for you to escape...

Seeing that this military meeting was about to end, someone outside shouted loudly: "To the General, Li Chengdong's subordinates came to report, saying that the South found a large number of Ming troops marching towards Yangzhou!"

Duoduo smiled indifferently after hearing this, and said, "It's probably Huang Degong's soldier... Li Chengdong, can you stop him?"

Li Chengdong thought about the combat power of Huang Degong's troops, and immediately said from the bottom of his heart: "The number and combat power of the soldiers under Huang Degong's command are not as good as those of Huang Degong, so it may be difficult to resist."

"What a coward." Duoduo cursed lightly, and then said: "Then you go back first and try to slow down his troops, and when I send the Eight Banners army to attack its flanks, you will be able to defeat them in one battle!
At that time, beheading Huang Degong before the battle, and then taking Huang Degong's head to the city of Yangzhou to persuade him to surrender, should be able to make Shi Kefa surrender.

Isn't he just a supervisor, there have been supervisors who surrendered to my Qing Dynasty, and he is not the first, so there is no shame. "

　There are too many Qing army materials that need to be checked.

　　The update came late.

　　Sorry.
