Chapter 393 The entire Qing court is in chaos
The battle of the Ming army's surprise attack on Yangzhou finally achieved a perfect closing with the cumulative annihilation of 4000 Manchu and Mongolian soldiers, the Han army flag, and thousands of newly surrendered troops of traitors.

The total number of Qing troops in Yangzhou prefecture is of course far more than this, but the rest are all traitor troops under the command of former Liu Liangzuo and Xu Dingguo. Naturally, the soldiers voted directly, responding to the call of the Ming court.

It can be said that because of the Fu Wang Rebellion, the Ming army was coerced into being a traitor. Now only one of Xu Dingguo's direct descendants and one of Li Chengdong are still insisting on being traitors. The rest are either killed or returned anyway. The court is gone.

The Ming army was able to fight so smoothly. On the one hand, it was because Cao Bianjiao and Huang Degong interspersed and encircled quickly, and they really fought well.

Zheng Chenggong then brought artillery to assist in the siege of the city, which is also indispensable-and Zheng Chenggong's credit is not limited to this. Careful observers will surely find that Zheng Chenggong came more than a day later than Huang Degong and Cao Bianjiao during the siege of Yangzhou.

There was a time difference of more than one day, and Zheng Chenggong was of course not idle. In fact, he led the Daming Navy to intercept and kill Kong Ting's training department who had been sent by Liu Liangzuo to transport supplies and reinforcements to Duoduo on the Yangtze River.

In the case of internal information on the time and location of Kong Tingxun's crossing of the river, there is really nothing to say about the subsequent surface combat.With Zheng Chenggong, a generation of navy gods, making his move, and waiting for Kong Youde's son to get in, can there be any suspense?
Kong Tingxun's death is naturally as miserable as it can be, and it can be regarded as a delay in helping Liu Liangzuo to end his past (no book friends in the next chapter will question Liu Liangzuo's past. Explain that Liu Liangzuo has no son, and the history is just me and my family They were all killed together in Guilin. Only the son Kong Qizhen was in Guilin at the time, so he was killed by Li Dingguo.)
The part of the Yangzhou Qing army sailors and material fleet brought by Huang Degong was naturally killed, and all the materials that could be seized were seized.

In ancient wars, ships were sunk so spontaneously that basically only gunpowder ships were almost certain to sink if they were martyred or self-destructed.Therefore, the supplies sent by the Yangzhou Qing army to Shaoduo, except for the small losses of these gunpowder ships, were basically surrendered or killed and robbed of supplies.

And as long as we know that the Qing army in the south of the Yangtze River has not been completely destroyed, the lower levels of the Qing court will naturally calm down and re-evaluate the strength comparison between the enemy and you. In this way, you will not be able to stop the war with war and get time to rest and digest the results of the battle. "

General Cao's cavalry crossed the river twice, fighting for eight days, and resting for eight or seven days less, it is said that it will surely reduce the recovery of one or two percent of the Ming army, and make Shaoduo more and more tired, so why rush? "

In the first half of the sentence, Kong Youde didn’t just say it to Jiang Yanfei, but he also said it to the other generals who had just retreated to ask for instructions. It was half an explanation and half a war mobilization. Aware of the political implications of a slow resolution to Shaoduo.

Before the generals unify their thinking, the fighting spirit is naturally more explosive, and all ministries are in full swing for preparations, from thought to material, and the deployment and preparations for the final decisive battle are well done.

Kong Youde's estimation of the enemy's reaction speed is really very accurate.

"The villain of the Ministry of Finance is really calculating. After the analysis of the Ministry of Affairs, you will know that the quick destruction of Shaoduo has no such small meaning. Indeed, we have to compete with the Qing court for time!

Yes, Kong Tingxun, who has followed me for the longest time, because he knows all about Kong Youde and his old friends, he still persuaded him in private:
At that time, did Nikan and Liu Liangzuo feel that the situation was so minor that they needed to ask the court for instructions? We still felt that the Qing army in the Lianghuai area was unable to solve the problem.

The courier set off overnight, and on the evening of the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month two days ago, it was delivered to Azig's men in the west.

"From the local military point of view in the south of the Yangtze River, it is true that there is no cost in delaying for a few days, and the enemy and your Ming army can also compete with each other, and the state will recover even worse.

Now you only leave more than half of Cao Bianjiao's troops, and add Zhu Shuren to defend Yangzhou Mansion.It is more than enough for us to block Nikan in Fengyang and Liu Liangzuo in Huai'an, but it is difficult to block the small batch of elite reinforcements newly transferred from Hebei and Henan by the Qing army.

Jiang Yanfei looked like she was holding the pearls of wisdom, and continued: "Now that Yangzhou has fallen and Zuo Zixiong has been killed, it is absolutely possible for the Qing army in Huainan to cover up. Even if we are afraid of Shao Jiangyan, we must do our best now Slow to report worries.

After Liu Liangzuo's fall in Yangzhou, coupled with the superimposition of so many disadvantages, he was frightened for a while, and he no longer dared to think about his future career. At present, I just want to save my life and stabilize the situation.

Zhu Shuren's navy was also separated, moving from Jinshan Temple on the south bank to Guazhou Ferry on the north bank, helping to occupy the important wharf island, and echoing the garrison army of Cao Bianjiao's troops in Yangzhou City.

When people's hearts collapse, no matter how weak the physical Ming army is, it will come out.

However, since the thunderbolts in Yangzhou have succeeded, if you look at the problem again, you can only look at a corner of the south of the Yangtze River, and learn to look at the sky. Just imagine, after the fall of Yangzhou, even if no one in the Qing army in the north of the Yangtze River believed that Shaoduo was in the south of the Yangtze River, the news was cut off Half a month is over, whether it will retreat is a profit, but we will definitely be too timid to speculate that Shaoduo will not fall.

Another day or so later, in the early morning of the 71st of the twelfth lunar month, it was delivered to Beijing City.At eight o'clock in the morning that morning, as soon as Shao Zhanli got up to get ready for work, he got the news that the seventeenth brother was in danger.
Kong Youde's analysis from a political point of view immediately made me realize that Guo Xing Ye still had a low view.

On the morning of the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, Liu Liangzuo's reinforcements marched to the bank of Diyou Lake. Seeing that he could continue to reach Yangzhou overnight, he wanted to retreat to Diyou County and stay overnight to avoid the hardship of camping in the wild.

……

Kong Tingxun's mind has always been thinking about those dirty officialdoms. I am not a pure soldier. Even though I studied hard in those years and my military strategy was not good enough, I still know everything about political strategies.

This deceitful technique of repeatedly jumping sideways to play the enemy in the palm of his hand, this clever trick of using information on both sides of the Yangtze River to cut off and repeatedly deceive the enemy's army, and disintegrate the enemy's will to resist, are the most decisive factors.

That is tantamount to taking the military strategic reserve that the Qing army raised from the front and gathered in Yangzhou to conquer the south of the Yangtze River in the past half a month, which directly made Kong Youde cheaper by half.It's really a small feat.

Guo Xingye has not led the Xiao family to win so many small battles, and his prestige is already at the peak of the sky.It is even more authoritative than when Jia Sidao attacked Kublai Khan in Ezhou in the early Southern Song Dynasty.

Moreover, the human mind seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages. With the original temperament of Yangzhou Zuo Zixiong, Huaian Liu Liangzuo and others, even if we temporarily lose contact with Shaoduo, we will first cover up and hide the real situation from the north.I hope that the situation of the war can turn bad on its own, so that we can't avoid being punished by the Qing court, which is not good for our official career. "

However, that emphasis was finally completely corrected when Jiang Yanfei's reinforcements arrived in Diyou County between Huaiyang and Huaiyang two and a half days ago.

Ergun was the city of Yangzhou that was besieged on the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month. On the evening of the [-]th, the city was broken. It took a few days to clear out the remnants of the enemy, arrest the enemy army and hide deserters, and the sporadic fighting in the city gradually subsided on the [-]th.

But he, you all know what Yan Yingyuan is capable of. After the war, I got a lot of firearms and supplies. With my ability to defend the city, there will be absolutely no problem in defending the city for a month.Even if the ministry wants to kill Shaoduo within the year, there are still more than ten days left.

……

However, Cao Bianjiao's tribe was left behind to help defend Yangzhou City, so as to prevent the possible counterattack of the Qing army.

In this way, you must be wary of the Qing government taking a step back from Hebei and dispatching troops for reinforcements. If it is slower, the Azig Department in Huaixi Henan will also be dispatched.

Therefore, after the main force of the Qing army in Hebei and Henan arrives in Huai'an, you will get Shaoduo's head!Once the Qing army's reinforcements know that Shaoduo is dead, our determination to rescue them will be severely damaged, so we will risk our lives with you at any cost.

"Small man, you and the audience will be worried that Yan Yingyuan can last, so just after the battle of Yangzhou, you will wait for the first battle against Shaoduo.

As mentioned later, the city of Yangzhou was destroyed on the [-]th, and after the city was besieged, Zuo Zixiong actually delivered letters to Nikan and Jiang Yanfei.

As a result, after retreating into Diyou County for a long time, the news of Yangzhou's fall came one after another. Liu Liangzuo confirmed that there were many mistakes before he knew that the matter was really small.

"Slow! [-] plus delay! Yes, [-] plus delay! Report to the capital immediately! Wait! It is enough to report to the capital, and then send all the way to Huaixi Henan to find Prince Ying! Prince Ying left Nearly, it is said that we will definitely be able to abandon the attack on Nanyang and divide our troops to rescue them!"

Zheng Chenggong's crossing of the river, in our eyes, was also characterized as a tentative attack by Dergon, saying that Dergon just wanted to disturb Jiangbei, get a ticket and leave, and fight pirates.

Regarding the deployment of Kong Youde, the few generals under my command will naturally have no idea.

It is to allow us to dispatch the small army from the front to rescue Shaoduo to rush to Jiangbei to launch a general offensive!To destroy Shaoduo after that!By the way, it also destroyed the prestige and morale of the newly aided Qing army, let us run for nothing! "

However, the core first achievement of the Yangzhou Battle, the generals are undoubtedly convinced, and believe that it should belong to Guo Xingye's strategizing and wise command.

If we treat a pirate war as a small threat and report less combat power, but find out that there was an oolong in the end, this will be a small disadvantage for our career promotion, and everyone wants to make fun of their own future.

Jiang Yanfei usually resists all opinions and advocates procrastination and consumption, but now she is uncharacteristically:
In the early morning of the [-]th, Zheng Chenggong's department in Yangzhou City had finished recrossing the south and retreated, preparing to participate in the final field battle against Shaoduo that was about to end.

Moreover, in the news brought by the defeated soldiers who fled back, there were not many rumors that were difficult to distinguish between true and false.For example, what Kong Youde asked Zheng Chenggong to say, "The battle in the south of the Yangtze River started from the beginning, Shaoduo had not been killed by Ergun, and the entire Qing army in the south of the Yangtze River was overwhelmed" were also brought out by the defeated Qing army in Yangzhou.

In order to prevent the courier from being accidentally or being intercepted halfway, Liu Liangzuo spared no effort and sent eight couriers in each direction, so that even if none of the couriers had any mishaps, the remaining ones could deliver the letter.
