Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 332 The Battle of Poyang Lake

"My lord, do you want to fight Poyang Lake like Taizu?"

Xing Xun asked in surprise.

"Zi Yong really knows me!"

Wang Shouren laughed loudly.

Wang Shouren arranged to dispatch 3100 troops this time to challenge Zhu Chenhao's vanguard.

In terms of numbers, to be honest, it doesn't have much advantage.

But this arrangement has Wang Shouren's own ideas.

They sent troops to attack this time, not for a decisive battle with the water army led by Zhu Chenhao in Huangjiawan.

Surface warfare cannot be carried out in this place at all.

His purpose in doing this is to lure Zhu Chenhao's troops to a location that is conducive to their attack.

Before the battle, Wang Shouren also ordered people to fight psychological warfare.

He asked people to make nearly a thousand wooden signs with words like "Zhu Chenhao has been captured, surrender to avoid death", and when Zhu Chenhao was about to arrive, he threw those signs into the water. Disturb their morale.

On the 23rd, when Zhu Chenhao's vanguard of [-] rebels arrived at Qiaoshe Town, Nanchangfu ([-] kilometers away from Nanyangfu City), Wang Shouren and the others had already set up a large net and waited for them.

On the 24th, as Wang Shouren expected, the armies of both sides met in Huangjiawan.

Due to the use of psychological warfare, as well as the north-south pincer attack and various ambushes, Zhu Chenhao's vanguard was severely beaten, and countless people were beheaded and drowned.

On the second day of the battle, Zhu Chenhao saw that the loss was serious, so he hurriedly withdrew his troops and retreated to save the firewood house (in the northeast of Nanchang) for repairs.

Although Wang Shouren and the others won, they also suffered a lot of injuries.

They use small boats to roam freely, and they can fight flexibly. Although the opponent's ships are tall and clumsy, they are easy to be attacked by surprise, but it is not easy to blindly attack, so they have to retreat and repair.

……

A small boat was parked on a water surface in the isolated area in the distance, watching from a distance.

There were three people standing there, none other than Qin Shao, Wang Yin and Zhu Chen who were supposed to be in Anlu Prefecture.

"Your Majesty, the isolation zone is in front of you. The shouting and killing over there is over now. It should be resting. Let's go back first."

Zhu Chen said.

Because of Zhu Chenhao's rebellion, Jiangxi entered a state of war readiness, and the surrounding provincial capitals were also in tension.

Because of the small number of soldiers, Jiangxi also sent a distress message to the neighboring provinces.

It's just that there are still some places on the road for their own safety, only a few soldiers and material assistance are given, most of which are material assistance.

This reminded Qin Shao of disasters in some provinces in his previous life, and other places were generally aided by economic materials, and rarely sent people there, and even in the past, they were non-governmental organizations.

This period is actually the same.

The direction of Anlu Prefecture also called on the people in the city to donate supplies to the Wang Shouren Department of Nanchang Prefecture. After all, there are so many people fighting, they always need to eat and drink.

To rejuvenate the palace, Qin Shao donated some food and silver in the name of Zhu Youzhu.

After all, every time there was a problem in the imperial court, Zhu Youzhu took the lead in donating supplies.

Qin Shao and the others entered Nanchang Mansion with the team delivering supplies.

Zhu Youzhu didn't want his son to come out to take risks. Although the area around Jiangxi in the south is in a state of chaos, the court has no time to pay attention to these vassals.

Qin Shao probably wouldn't pay attention when he went out, but he only had this one son, so he was naturally a little worried.

It's just that Qin Shao said that he would protect himself, and that he was only sending supplies and would not participate in the war.

Thinking about his son's performance these days, that kind of strategizing, his vision of doing things has long been higher than his own, knowing that he has always done things in a systematic way, Zhu Youzhu had no choice but to agree.

I only comfort my son, my daughter-in-law is about to give birth, the things over there are over, and I will come back soon.

Qin Shao didn't really have a big purpose to go here. The most dangerous time is actually the safest. No one noticed his identity when he went out in the current chaotic time. No court now pays no attention to the vassal king. Zhu Houzhao is too busy to take care of himself. Good opportunity to see the famous Battle of Poyang Lake.

They have the official token of Anlu Prefecture, so it is easy to enter and exit. After delivering the supplies, they stay with those people temporarily to do some logistical support work.

However, in order to protect the safety of the eldest son, Zhu Chen and the others tried their best to avoid letting Qin Shao approach the dangerous area.

They came to resources on behalf of Anlu Prefecture. The Jiangxi logistics officials saw that they surrounded Qin Shao, and Lu Lianxian, the general judge of Anlu Prefecture, also came, and they were respectful to this young man.

He didn't wear an official uniform, and everyone respected him, Nanchang government officials thought he was the son of Xiang's family or a close relative, the second generation of officials, so naturally he was treated with courtesy.

In many cases, it is more bull-nosed than some officials. This has been a regular rule since ancient times.

Therefore, when they were going out to observe the battlefield from a distance today, someone prepared a small boat for them, but told them that fighting is no better than others, it is fatal, just look at it from a distance, and don't get too close.

In this way, Qin Shao proudly saw the scene of the long-distance battle in Poyang Lake.

……

The group returned to Nanchang Mansion.

The people in the city are busy investing in logistics and combat support.

Now it is time to rest and reorganize, and many soldiers in front have been injured, and food, drink and supplies are being sent to the front line.

Qin Shao also saw that some wounded who were seriously injured and temporarily saved their lives and were unable to fight were sent back to the city to recuperate.

They sent some Baiyao to the wounded who were bleeding heavily, and they returned to their residences.

In the following days, the two teams fought several small-scale battles in Poyang Lake, each with casualties, and there was a stalemate for a while.

This is not the first time for Daming to fight Poyang Lake.

The first Poyang Lake battle was of epoch-making significance for Ming Dynasty.

At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang fought a strategic decisive battle for the waters of Poyang Lake. The decisive battle ended with Zhu Yuanzhang's complete victory. This battle was regarded as the largest water battle in the medieval world.

The Battle of Poyang Lake is another typical example of winning more with less after the Battle of Chibi in history.

At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang set up an ambush circle on Poyang Lake. When Chen Youliang's team landed and was not stable, he sent out a signal.

Wang Shouren, Xing Xun, etc. are familiar with history and military books, and they are even more familiar with this battle. They introduced Zhu Chenhao and others to Poyang Lake because they wanted to use Zhu Yuanzhang's strategy back then.

It's a pity that Zhu Chenhao didn't study hard and study the history of his ancestors. Even though Li Shishi, the military adviser, had schemes, he couldn't really trust him. Coupled with the fact that he was only thinking about the savings of his old nest in Nanchang Mansion for many years, he naturally fell into the encirclement.

In the next two days, Qin Shao thought it was time for the final decisive battle, but after waiting for two days, they still collided with each other on a small scale, and did not adopt the attack method he knew in history in his previous life.

"What exactly is going on?"

Qin Shao said to himself.

"Father, what's wrong?"

Wang Yin watched Qin Shao walking up and down the room early in the morning, still talking to himself, and asked with some worry.

"It shouldn't be like this!"

Qin Shao said directly.

"What shouldn't it be?"

Wang Yin still didn't understand.

"Eldest son! Eldest son!"

Qin Shao was about to say something to Wang Yin when Zhu Chen shouted outside.
