The main army of the Qing Dynasty going south would not treat Wu Sangui, the great traitor, as one of his own just because he was still under the banner of the Qing Dynasty.

Facing the main force of the Qing army going south, Wu Sangui had to make preparations in advance!
Is it to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty to fight the main force of the Qing army and attack the Qing army's southern expedition?
Or sit back and watch the tigers fight, and wait for the Ming and Qing troops to decide the winner in the Jiangnan battlefield, so he can play it by ear?Sit back and reap the benefits of the fisherman?
Of these two choices, no matter which one Wu Sangui chooses, he needs to make preparations in advance.

Actually, Wu Sangui has already been making this preparation!

His policy of Hunan filling Sichuan, although the main purpose is to restore the people's livelihood in Sichuan and Sichuan.

But I know that he is not pessimistic about the situation in the south of the Yangtze River, and even thinks that Hunan cannot be defended.

Prepare in advance for the Guanning Army to retreat to the southwest

After all, compared to Hunan, which has flat terrain and criss-cross waterways.

Obviously, the mountains in Sichuan and Shu are easier to defend and harder to attack!

Wu Yingqi spoke.

"Father, if you want me to say that we should send troops down the south of the Yangtze River, and cooperate with the Ming army to attack the Qing court's Southern Expedition Army."

"You must not sit back and watch the Ming army be wiped out by the main force of the Qing army going south, and then give the Qing court a chance to defeat them one by one."

Wu Yingqi was still young, and he still had a vigor that Wu Sangui didn't have.

He is not afraid of the might of the Qing army!

Facing the main force of the Qing army marching southward, he dared to take the initiative to fight.

However, the expression on Wu Sangui's face was still a little fearful, and Wu Yingxiong who was on the side seemed to understand his father's mind, and said.

"Second brother's words are wrong!"

"Rather than sending troops to the south of the Yangtze River now, my army will fight to the death with the Qing court's main force going south."

"It's better to wait for the Qing court and the Ming army to decide the victory in the south of the Yangtze River, and our army will wait for work and reap the benefits!"

Wu Sangui nodded approvingly this time.

Obviously, his panic disorder is still not healed, and he is still unwilling to take the initiative to fight against the main force of the Qing army.

General Shi Guozhu of the Guan Ning Army asked.

"My lord, why don't our troops go north and enter Hubei at this time, capture Wuchang Mansion, Huangzhou Mansion and other important places along the Yangtze River, and prepare for going east to the south of the Yangtze River?"

If Wu Sangui made up his mind, he would go east to the south of the Yangtze River after the Qing court and the Ming Dynasty were both defeated.

It seems that he can only take the Yangtze River waterway!

But today, most of the important towns on the Yangtze River are controlled by the Qing court.

Even if Wu Sangui wanted to go down the river eastward, the road would be impassable.

That's why Shi Guozhu suggested that Wu Sangui take over Wuchang Mansion, Huangzhou Mansion and other places in Hubei.

Even, you can go down the south to take important places such as Anqing Mansion in Jiujiang Mansion...

Form a deterrent to Jiangnan!
Otherwise, if things in the south of the Yangtze River are settled, Wu Sangui may not even be ready to go eastward along the river.

Wu Guogui also spoke.

"My lord, the last general is willing to be a forward, to conquer Wuchang, Huangzhou and other places for my lord."

Wu Sangui pondered for a while, then spoke.

"can!"

"Wuchang Mansion, Huangzhou Mansion should be taken!"

Although it is true to say so, what Wu Sangui thinks more is that when the Qing army goes up the river, he can deploy defenses in Wuchang and Huangzhou...

Well, even if all the generals under his command are full of confidence, Wu Sangui is still the same, and he is too cowardly.

After Wu Sangui made up his mind, the Guan Ning army began to mobilize troops and horses to prepare for the attack on Wuchang Mansion and Huangzhou Mansion.

The Guan Ning army ordered the mobilization of food, grass, and civilian husbands all over Hunan to prepare for the war with all their strength.

……

On the vast expanse of the ocean!

The water is blue and clear!
A gust of breeze blows, while the sails are blown, leaving ripples on the sea surface and setting off tiny waves.

From time to time, seabirds fly by in the sky and plunge into the sea to fish.

There are even seabirds staying on the deck and resting on the mast.

Sailing on the sea is boring, and the sailors of the Ming army were extremely bored, so some people started feeding seabirds to play.

The boatswain and the management representatives didn't take it seriously, and were even happy to join it.

Perhaps the only thing bothering these elves of the sea is the watchman standing on the top of the mast.

Those seabirds that stayed around him from time to time, or waved in front of his eyes, really annoyed him.

Standing on a warship under his command, Wu Ming looked at the vast sea in the distance, and asked the adjutant beside him.

"How far are we from Tianjin?"

The cloak behind him fluttered, and his face was full of solemnity.

Ever since the navy of the Ming army entered Bohai Bay, the seriousness on Wu Ming's face has not disappeared.

Not only Wu Ming, but the entire fleet, and almost all the generals of the navy have such expressions.

The deputy general pondered for a while, and said.

"According to the itinerary, at about noon tomorrow, our army will be able to see the coast of Jinmen!"

"Commander Zeng issued an order that although the Tianjin and Dengzhou naval forces of the Qing court are weak, they still have the power to patrol the coast."

"Our army has now entered the Bohai Bay, and all ships must be ready to fight at any time, so as not to be attacked suddenly."

Wu Ming nodded, indicating that he knew.

In this operation around the Bohai Sea, the commander of the navy of the Ming army was surnamed Zeng and named Xueli.

He is also Zhu Hongyu's confidant!
After the recovery of Luzon, he was transferred to the navy and made many military exploits along the way. He is now the commander of the Luzon Fleet of the Ming Dynasty.

For this operation around the Bohai Sea, Zhu Hongyu personally ordered him to go north and be in charge of commanding the operation.

Wu Ming turned his gaze to the south, and said as if sighing.

"It's almost New Year's Eve!"

"Looks like this year, I'm going to go through the battle again!"

Lieutenant General Lang laughed and said.

"Rejoicing with the sound of guns and guns, and serving wine with the heads of Tartars, is there anything more satisfying than this in the world?"

Wu Ming nodded, the war weariness that had just emerged disappeared in an instant, and he just nodded and said.

"rational!"

"It's really a great pleasure in life to serve wine with the head of the Tartars!"

The navy fleet of the Ming army is still heading towards Jinmen.

……

One day later, the 19th year of the Yongli calendar, the third day of the twelfth lunar month!

The main force of the navy of the Ming army went to Jinmen. After the Tianjin navy of the Qing court received the alarm, they went out of the water village to fight and were defeated!
The Ming army brazenly attacked the water village!

The Tianjin navy of the Qing court was wiped out in the water village.

After the Ming army fleet wiped out the Qing court navy, it sent troops to bombard Jinmen, and dispatched marine troops to conduct a tentative landing attack.

Under the cover of naval gunfire, the Ming army successfully landed and attempted to attack Tianjin.

Once killed to the city of Tianjin!
For a moment, Jinmen shook, the capital shook, Beizhili shook, and the whole world shook!

How many years!

How long has it been since Ming Dynasty's army has not appeared in Beizhili since Jiashen's difficulty?
The common people around Tianjin looked at the big flag with bright characters floating on the Bohai Sea, and the sun and moon flag with twelve horns, and they all had complicated emotions.

The survivors are all trapped in the dust, looking south to Master Wang for another year!
Now that Master Wang is really here, who can not be moved? !
Dagukou was attacked and the news that the Ming army landed in Tianjin seemed to have grown wings and was heading towards the capital quickly.

One by one pond horses, post horses, galloped on the official road from Tianjin to the capital!

The speed of message delivery is even faster than Babaili's rush!
In the world of ice and snow, smoke and dust agitated!

When the news spread to the capital, the whole city shook.

Everyone of the Eight Banners disciples in the capital showed panic.

Who would have thought that the main force of the Qing Dynasty went south to suppress the rebellion, but the Ming rebels took the opportunity to kill them by sea and even threatened the capital. Who would not be afraid?
……

GG today, very weak, only three more.
