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

Chapter 300 Hubei

Long Paopao ran away again as usual.

But this time I really don't blame him. Yongzheng deprived him of his power as governor of six provinces.Except for the [-] direct Eight Banners troops, he now has difficulty mobilizing even a single soldier in the entire Lianghu Company.

Longkodo could understand Yongzheng, after all, he had almost never won a battle since he went south.

Although the other Manchu generals, Zhang Wenhuan, also lost, they finally defeated the remnants of the Bagua Cult in Huaibei.

Jueluo Manbao was also fighting fires in Henan and Shandong, so he didn't win a game.

The newly appointed governor of the five provinces, Yue Zhongqi, has made even more outstanding military achievements.

Yongzheng had every reason to get rid of him. The court was not the emperor's dictum. Longkodo kept losing battles, and even the Manchu princes would have opinions.

But understanding is understanding, and you still have to resent when you should, especially when Jingzhou lost such a childish thing.

Longkodo will definitely not rebel, and it is even impossible for him to vote for Zhu Yijiong.But it is okay to sit back and watch the emperor's wise and powerful decision, which led to the ruin of the two lakes.

Zheng Dingrui captured Jingzhou Mansion, and then continued up the river, taking Jingzhou General Alu with him to call for help.

Even Jingzhou Prefecture was lost, and Alu, the Jingzhou general, persuaded him to surrender.

The three counties of Songzi, Zhijiang, and Yidu along the river behind had no burden at all, and they immediately changed their flags and asked for surrender.

Speaking of which, Zhijiang County in this era and Zhijiang City in later generations were actually not in the same place.

The Zhijiang River in the Manchu Qing Dynasty was just below Yidu and south of the Yangtze River. The Zhijiang River in later generations was on the other side of Bailizhou, above Songzi and north of the Yangtze River.

Just after Yidu and further upstream, you will find the famous "Jingmen Huya Fortress" on the west side of Chu.

That is, Jingmen Mountain and Huya Mountain are located on both sides of the Yangtze River respectively, controlling the Yangtze River waterway. In ancient times, Jingmen City was built on Jingmen Mountain.

In history, the Yiling War broke out here, that was the great defeat in which Liu Zhibing, known as Liu Zhibing in the Jianghu, was burned for [-] miles.

Zheng Dingrui certainly knows this allusion. After all, the Manchus in the Qing Dynasty used "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" as their military manual (there are still some opinions). It is normal for the generals in the Ming Dynasty to also buy a few copies of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to read.

After a while, Zheng Dingrui realized that he was wrong.

Not to mention that Jingmen and Huya Mountains are heavily guarded, they don't even have a basic iron cable across the Yangtze River.

The Ming warships did not encounter any obstacles and broke through the legendary Xise fortress without any effort.

After passing Jingmen Huya, it takes less than half a day to walk by water, and then we reach Yichang Prefecture.

Yichang Prefecture didn't even react at first, but saw a large number of ships approaching from a distance on the river.

When the warship approached and saw the sun and moon flags hung uniformly on it, they were shocked to realize that the Ming army was coming.

From docking to landing, the Ming warships did not encounter any Qing soldiers, and not even a single shot was fired from Yichang City's river defense artillery.

Zheng Dingrui said: "Take this dog Tatar to persuade him to surrender!"

The Ming army soldiers responsible for the escort were familiar with the road and brought Jingzhou General Alu to the gate of Yichang City.

This Aru successively persuaded several counties to surrender, and they have already gone from being half-moved to half-settled at the beginning, and now they are broken.

"I am Alu, the general of Jingzhou. Outside the city are the heavenly soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. Why don't you open the door and surrender quickly and submit to the king's heavenly soldiers. If not, it will be too late for you to regret it when the city is broken!"

Hearing the calls outside the city to persuade them to surrender, the Qing soldiers at the top of Yichang City were shocked at first, and then quickly ran to report to the Yichang Magistrate and the officials in the city.

Yichang government office.

The prefect of Yichang, regardless of his status and occasion, shouted loudly: "That idiot and common man Alu actually lost the city of Jingzhou like this."

The magistrate of Donghu County looked anxious: "Master Futai, now the puppet Ming thief army has arrived at the city. Even Jingzhou has been captured by them. What should we do?"

However, upon hearing his words, the prefect of Yichang suddenly scolded him: "It's unreasonable. Since Lord Ming has proclaimed himself emperor and adheres to the orthodoxy of our Han family, how can he be insulted by his army?"

"..."

The magistrate of Donghu County was rebuked for no reason. Not only was he not upset, but his eyes lit up and he said: "Yes, yes, yes, what you said is absolutely true. The emperor of tomorrow obeyed the orders of heaven and inherited the orthodoxy of my Han family. How could he rebel against the traitor?" Humiliate him." On the side, another Yichang official also said: "If you are not a rebel, you are the emperor. Those who come from outside the city are all the king's heavenly soldiers. The king's heavenly soldiers came to regain the territory of the Han family. We, Yichang Mansion, We should obey the destiny and open the city to welcome the king's army."

"This statement makes sense. I have long heard that the Ming Lord of Nanjing is the true emperor, and he takes the title of Jianwu. This is to imitate the glory and military power of the Han Dynasty in the past and revive our Han family!"

"..."

Times have indeed changed. In the past, when these local Manchu officials faced the Ming army, anyone with any official rank would have to commit suicide.

Unlike now, every word you say to me is enough to turn Emperor Zhu of Nanjing into an ancient sage.

The weight of Aru, the Jingzhou general, is indeed large enough. Regardless of whether he is successful in persuading him to surrender, bluffing is a real bluff.

Less than half an hour after the Ming army persuaded them to surrender, the prefect of Yichang led Yichang officials, big and small, and surrendered from Kaicheng with the official seal and gold book.

Yichang Mansion was captured by the Ming army without any effort, which was even easier than capturing Jingzhou Mansion previously.

The Ming army captured Yichang, and after leaving a force behind, the main force continued to march towards Shinan (Enshi) Mansion.

Shi Nanfu already borders Sichuan and Chongqing, but Yue Zhongqi has to be busy taking care of Yunnan and Guizhou, as well as guarding against Qinghai and Tibet.

Moreover, he did not expect that the Ming army would advance so fast, so naturally he did not deploy any heavy troops in Shi Nan Mansion. Even the news that the Ming army was preparing to send troops to Hubei should not have been sent to Chengdu until now.

Without any twists and turns, Shi Nanfu surrendered!

……

The Ming troops in Anlu and De'an were also not idle.

When the Ming army from the middle of Anlu Prefecture came out of Jingmen, Jingmen Prefecture was just a Zhili Prefecture, and they immediately surrendered.

The North Route Ming Army of De'an Prefecture also marched westward along Suizhou and attacked Xiangyang (Xiangfan) Prefecture.

Xiangyang leads to Qin and Shu in the west, connects to Ruluo in the north, covers Huguang in the south, and overlooks Wu and Yue in the east. In terms of the world, Xiangyang is the most important.

Although in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Xiangyang became less and less important and was gradually replaced by Wuchang.

But Xiangyang is still an important town in the south. Whether it is the southern government's Northern Expedition or a corner of peace, Xiangyang is a must-visit place.

For such a strategically important place, how could Jin Yiwei not dispatch detailed operations.In particular, Longkodo was dismissed from office, and the entire Lianghu area had already been infiltrated into a sieve by the Jinyiwei.

It is even more thorough than a sieve. Except for the remote three prefectures of Shinan, Yichang, and Yunyang (Yunxian County), the meticulous work of Jinyiwei can be seen almost everywhere in Hubei.

Xiangyang Prefecture was unprepared, and was under the cooperation of the Ming Army on the North Road and Xizuo Liyingwai.It didn't play any role as a major city in the world, and it was broken after only holding on for half a day.

Even important military towns such as Xiangyang were defeated, and the three counties of Gucheng, Guanghua, and Junzhou were immediately defeated.

Xiangyang Prefecture, an ancient important town, was captured by the Northern Route Army so easily.

Speaking of which, this is where Wudang Mountain is located.

After taking Xiangyang, we can reach Yunyang further west.

Yunyang was a state of Mi in ancient times and a vassal of the state of Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period. There are many mountains in the land.

During the Zhizheng period of the Yuan Dynasty, bandits caused chaos, but in the end the Yuan Dynasty generation could not control it.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Lao Zhu ordered Deng Yu to destroy them with large troops, empty the land, and prohibit refugees from entering.

However, there is a lot of open land in the three provinces of Huguang, Henan, and Shaanxi.The valley is blocked and densely forested, with vegetation in it that can be harvested and eaten.

Once a major disaster occurs in Xiangyang or Jingzhou, refugees will flock to Yunyang, and then they will gather in larger numbers and eventually rebel.

Therefore, even if Lao Zhu plowed Yunyang again, the entire Yunyang Mansion was still experiencing rebellions one after another in the Ming Dynasty.

The overall situation in Hubei has been decided, and Yunyang Mansion naturally cannot be a mantis and decisively surrender.

At this point, the entire territory of Hubei is covered.
