The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

From the current point of view, in this war against Wu Sangui, Daming set the main battlefield in Hubei, not Henan.

Because going upstream is really convenient for the army to march and transport the logistics and supplies needed for the army!

Of course, the purpose is also very clear. The first step is to recover Huguang, and then decide whether to launch the next offensive based on the specific situation at the time.

In other words, it will be time to decide the next offensive move!

Whether to follow the Yangtze River into Sichuan and Shu, or go north to recover Henan.

At present, Zhu Hongyu has not made up his mind.

If the main force of the Ming army decides to enter Sichuan along the Yangtze River, and cooperate with Li Dingguo who is attacking in the direction of Yunnan and Guizhou, there is a high probability that Ming can regain the south of the Yangtze River in one go.

It will be more beneficial for Zhu Hongyu to integrate the resources of the entire south, launch the Northern Expedition, and regain the entire Ming Dynasty!
However, it is not without benefits for the main force of the Ming army to enter Henan!
At least as far as the current situation is concerned, Henan's population is much higher than that of Sichuan and Shu, both in terms of population and the tax it can provide to the imperial court.

The current Chuanshu is really dilapidated!
Different from the dilapidated Jiangnan that still has vitality, the current Sichuan and Shu belong to the kind whose foundations are rotten. Without decades of tidying up, they will not be able to recover at all.

Regarding these two choices, Zhu Hongyu has not been able to make up his mind for a while!

Therefore, he did not rush to make a decision, and wanted to wait to see the development of the subsequent battle situation before making up his mind.

In response to the war with Wu Sangui, Daming successively mobilized seven main infantry divisions with 7 people, one cavalry division with 1 people, and a Guiyi army of 2 people.

This adds up to an army of 10 people!

Zhu Hongyu almost mobilized nearly half of his soldiers.

Although there is a reason for "a lion fights a rabbit with all his strength", it can also be seen that Zhu Hongyu is afraid of Wu Sangui.

He has been active since the end of the Ming Dynasty until now, firmly standing on his own position in the big game of the world, and has been active for decades.

Moreover, in the past few decades, he has always had a relatively high sense of presence in the world!
Wu Sangui is not an easy person!
No matter how careful you are with an old fox like Wu Sangui, you can't be too careful.

Shi Yongxin resigned and went out, while Zhu Hongyu continued to think about things.

Originally, Zhu Hongyu really didn't plan to start another large-scale war this year.

However, with the evolution of the overall situation in the world, many things are not decided by Zhu Hongyu alone.

Today's world is a big stage, the Ming Dynasty, the Qing court, Wu Sangui... are all working hard to show their brilliance.

I want to squeeze other people down and make myself the only protagonist!
The current change in the world situation is due to the gradual changes in the game between the forces of one's own side.

Although the current Zhu Hongyu occupies a certain position in the overall situation of the world, he is not the only protagonist.

All he can do now is to make himself stronger and become the only protagonist.

……

Thousands of miles of Yangtze River rushes into the sea!

...

A huge fleet went up the Shuo River of the Yangtze River and headed for Huguang.

The patrol horses of the Guan Ning Army galloped back and forth around the battlefield, covering the entire battlefield, and constantly conveying the movement of the main force of the Ming army to the rear.

The sails covered the sky and the sun, and the Ming army along the coast raised their chests and raised their heads, stepping forward neatly to the beat of drums.

That kind of military killing spirit is overwhelming!
The cavalry of the Ming army also kept wandering on both sides of the army, covering the battlefield and guarding against the cavalry raids of the Guanning army at any time.

Wu Yingqi is the main person in charge of the Guanning Army's war in Huguang, and the intelligence of the entire Huguang battle must be gathered in his hands.

After he reads it and makes a decision, he will report to Guanzhong!

Looking at the report in hand, the main force of the Ming army went up the river and entered Huguang, his face was full of gloom.

Because the information sent back by the sentry cavalry of the Qing army described the invading Ming army in this way.

The shadows of sails cover the sky, the infantry cover the sun, the armor is like clouds, and the guns are like the sea...

Everything made Wu Yingqi feel unspeakably dignified.

The expression on Wu Yingqi's face was constantly changing. The main force of the Ming army was attacking, and the troops were pointing directly at Huangzhou Mansion and Wuchang Mansion. How could he not feel dignified?

"How is the city defense of Huangzhou Prefecture? Can it be defended?"

The place where Wu Yingqi is now is the Huangzhou Mansion, the front line of the Guan Ning Army facing the Ming Army along the Yangtze River.

As the chief general of the Qing army in this battle, he naturally had to inquire about the defense of Huangzhou Prefecture.

Wu Yingqi's lieutenant general said with a solemn face.

"Reporting to Your Highness, Huangzhou Mansion may not be easy to guard!"

"The naval guns equipped by the navy of the Ming army are really powerful, and Huangzhou Prefecture is on the side of the Yangtze River. If the Ming army wants to attack Huangzhou Prefecture, they can get the fire support of naval guns."

"Huangzhou Mansion is not easy to defend!"

The results of the Battle of Yangzhou have also been reported to Huangzhou Mansion, and Wu Yingqi's lieutenant knows how Yangzhou City fell.

To put it bluntly, Yangzhou City was forcibly smashed down by the shells of the Ming army's naval guns!

If the Ming army attacked Huangzhou Mansion in the same way, if Yangzhou could not withstand the attack, Huangzhou would also be unable to withstand it.

Wu Yingqi sighed helplessly and said.

"It's not easy to guard, but you have to guard it!"

"The order from my father in Guanzhong is to tell me to resist and wait for support when facing the attack of Ming thieves."

The deputy general was also silent when he heard the words.

How do you say that, the knife that can kill you the most does not come from the enemy in front of you, but from behind.

Fighting for power and profit is really the scariest thing in this world!

"Your Highness, what if our army abandons Huangzhou and takes advantage of the maneuverability of our cavalry to fight a field battle with the Ming army?"

The deputy general put forward his own opinion.

The current Ming army is very strong. No matter in terms of the quality of soldiers, the condition of ordnance and equipment, and the fighting will of the army, compared with the Qing army and the Guanning army, it has an overall upper hand.

The only shortcoming is the cavalry!

Although the current Daming cavalry is not bad, but the combat effectiveness is based on the accumulation of equipment. Compared with the cavalry of the Qing army and the Guanning army, there is still a certain gap.

The idea of ​​Wu Yingqi's lieutenant general was to take advantage of his own cavalry advantage to fight maneuvers with the Ming army.

In the constant maneuvering, the artillery power of the Ming army was out of touch with the cavalry power.

When the cavalry of the Ming army lost their fire support, the cavalry of the Guanning army went to fight the Ming army.

This is also the only way for an army with weak firepower to fight against an army with strong firepower, and even win.

Since the front is useless, it's a trick!
He is a fool if he insists on going head-on even though he knows he can't beat it head-on.

Obviously, Wu Yingqi is not a fool.

Because he knew that in this way, it might be possible to offset the advantage of Daming in terms of firepower to the greatest extent, and bring out its own advantage in cavalry.
