I'm sure of the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong!

Chapter 267
Half of the second year of Jianwu has passed.

Yongzheng's three-sided siege offensive against the Ming Dynasty (actually only two) has completely failed.

……

Southern battlefield.

Longkodo marched eastward to Jiujiang and returned with a great defeat. The Ming army took advantage of the victory to pursue him and pursued him fiercely.

Hubei, Huangzhou, Hanyang, and Wuchang were all defeated, and Longkodo was defeated again along the Yangtze River.

The current situation in Hubei is not surprising at all.

Longkodo didn't even want to resist, so he just abandoned Huangzhou.It seems that they have preserved their strength, but in fact the soldiers no longer dare to fight.

Once Hanyang was lost, Wuchang was completely reduced to an isolated city.

Since ancient times, an isolated city cannot be defended, and it will only be a matter of time before Wuchang is destroyed.

Longkodo was not stupid and yelled angrily on the spot: "Wu Shaoan, this waste and idiot, ruined my commander-in-chief's plan!"

After scolding, he immediately ordered that all the soldiers who risked their lives to deliver the message were dragged down and chopped down, and the news was blocked at the same time.

Then, there is no more.

Hanyang is gone, but Wuchang can still survive!

Even if they can barely hold on, Wuchang is an isolated city. Even the navy only has two or three big cats and kittens left, and it is impossible to wait for reinforcements.

This was not the first time that Longkodo had abandoned the city and ran away, so he was very familiar with the road.

First, he appeased Naqiha, the governor of Hubei Province in Wuchang City, and stated that he would go out of the city at night to rob the camp, and at least burn its food, grass and baggage.

This reason is completely tenable, and it is impossible for most defenders to defend the city completely.

As the saying goes, if you defend for a long time, you will lose. You must occasionally fight with the enemy troops attacking the city to look for opportunities.

The news of the loss of Hanyang had long been blocked by Longkodo, and for fear of being suspected, Longkodo did not even take the Hubei army in the city with him, but directly stated that he would personally lead the [-]-banner infantry out of the city to attack at night.

Naziha had no doubts.

At nightfall that day, Longkodo led his direct line of [-] Eight-Banner infantry troops out of Wuchang City, fully armed, followed by Dai Kun who left secretly.

After leaving the city, Longkodo did not hesitate and quickly fled southward with a torch.

When Naziha got the news that Marshal Long had abandoned the city and ran away, everyone was confused.

When the Ming army was alarmed by the changes in Wuchang, they immediately launched an attack on the city.

Longkoduo and Dai Kun both ran away, leaving Wuchang City without a leader.

Although Naziha was the governor of Hubei, with Longkodo taking over everything, almost all the military and political power in Wuchang was in the hands of Longkodo alone.

Now that Longkodo has escaped, Naziha will not be able to mobilize and coordinate the army in the city.

Moreover, the news of the loss of Hanyang has also spread. Not to mention the news of the blockade, the Ming army crossed the river directly from Hanyang.

Those Hubei generals were not fools, so how could they not see that Hanyang was lost.

Some people even directly speculated that Marshal Long and Mr. Dai might have abandoned the city and fled overnight for this reason.

The morale of the military in Wuchang was in chaos.

The Ming army advanced by land and water, and with one round of shelling, the defenders of the city wall collapsed.

Seeing that the situation was over, Naqiha, the governor of Hubei, decisively committed suicide and burned most of the governor's office before his death.

The Ming army made a lot of efforts to save the fire and prevent the fire from spreading.

The magistrates of Wuchang and Jiangxia were quite aware of current affairs and surrendered directly.

According to the current rules of the Ming Dynasty, these two can at most save their lives, and it is impossible to continue to be officials.

After winning Wuchang, Zheng Dingrui learned that his old rival Longkodo had escaped again.

This time the run was much cleaner, and the army that had worked so hard to train all gave up, and they were really willing to do so.

But it doesn't matter anymore, as the Ming army continues to win, the situation in the world has gradually become clearer.

Longkodo is no longer as important as it used to be. It's best to catch him, but it doesn't matter if he can't.

Anyway, a defeated general, Long Paopao (nicknamed posthumously by the Ming court), apart from refreshing Emperor Zhu at first, that's all he did now.

If you put it back, it will be of no more use.The Ming army's strategy achieved a complete victory and successfully pushed the front to Hanyang.

Longkodo retreated to Jingzhou (Jiangling) with only [-] Eight Banners infantry troops, barely surviving.

This is also where Jingzhou General and the Eight Banners are stationed throughout the city.

This is the case in Hubei, and the situation in Hunan is even more messy.

There were rebellions everywhere in southern and western Hunan, and the Ming army in Southern Jiangxi only controlled half of eastern Hunan.

The two lakes, the world's granary, half of Yongzheng's life was over.

By now, the situation in the South has become clear.

……

Northern battlefield.

The Qing army was defeated, and Zhang Wenhuan's nearly [-] elite troops from the northwest were almost all lost in the Huai River.

Yang Gong's First Army and Yu Kecheng's Seventh Army crossed the river and marched north one after another.

Sizhou, Suzhou, Mengcheng, and Yingzhou in Huaibei all changed their policies, and Haizhou and Suqian in Jiangbei also showed no resistance.

When the Ming army arrived at Luoma Lake, Xuzhou Prefecture directly became the front line against the Ming Dynasty.

It's not that the Ming army didn't want to go further north, but that the entire Jiangbei area had been plowed back and forth several times by the Bagua Sect and the Qing army.

Not to mention that the land was completely white, but there were also rogue bandits everywhere.Just to suppress and eliminate these bandits, restore local people's livelihood, and provide relief to the victims will cost a lot of money and food.

Further north, Shandong is not much better.

The current Northern Expedition is not only insufficient in troops, but also purely a loss-making business.

……

Yongzheng finally gave up his plan to go south to attack the Ming Dynasty. The nearly [-] northwest frontier troops could not defeat the [-] Ming army.

Now [-] Ming troops crossed the river and marched north, leaving only [-] Zhili troops, plus [-] Sauron soldiers from Zhang Wenhuan in Xuzhou and miscellaneous troops from the four provinces of Shanhe.

You're going to hit him on the head!

The north and south routes were severely defeated, and the two lakes areas were on the verge of collapse.

The Qing Dynasty has reached a moment of life and death.

Zhang Tingyu finally stopped protecting himself and gave advice: "Negotiate peace!"

As soon as these two words were spoken, Yongzheng was not angry, and even Ma Qi and other ministers did not object fiercely.

This negotiation is not the other's negotiation.

Zhang Tingyu's talk of peace could not naturally be with Emperor Zhu of Nanjing.

As early as before the war, Yongzheng had sent Zhang Tingyu and several people under the name of Zhao Fu, but they went there once to discuss peace, and then parted on bad terms.

Now that we have suffered a defeat, we are even more unlikely to succeed.

Just when Yongzheng launched an encirclement offensive against the Ming army, the current Khan of Junggar, Cewang Alabutan, the number one enemy of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, had just sent an envoy to deliver a peace request to Nian Gengyao, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu.

This Cewang Alabutan was actually the nephew of Ge Erdan. After Ge Erdan was beaten to death by Kangxi, he took over his duties and became the new Great Khan of Junggar.

His specific achievements can basically be summed up as follows: This guy is the master of the resurgence of Junggar.

The fire gun cavalry that roamed Central Asia in Junggar was trained by Cewang Alabutan.

In addition, the Heshuote Khanate entrenched in Tibet was also wiped out by Cewang Alabtan in a surprise attack across Qiangtang, a thousand-mile uninhabited land.

Until the Yongzheng period, Cewang Alabutan even reversed the offensive and defensive momentum of the two armies on the northwest battlefield.

Qianlong was indeed lucky. The number one enemy of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the leader of the Junggar ZTE died before Yongzheng.

According to historical records, he died violently, but according to the fine traditions of the Mongols... haha.

Now, Zhang Tingyu proposed to negotiate peace, which is almost self-evident.

This year, the Yongzheng Dynasty was in turmoil.
