Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 698
Luoyang.

Zhu Yihai quickly made adjustments after receiving Wu Sangui's downgrade.

He personally led a town to sit in Luoyang, sent Jin Gongyu to lead a town in Shanzhou, and Zhang Quan a town in Ruzhou.Take the three towns of Yingzhou, Zhu Zhongyi is stationed in Zhumadian, Zheng Zunqian is stationed in Xinyang, and Liu Mu is stationed in Xuzhou.

The emperor's deployment in the west and south of Henan was to set up two lines of defense. The first line was based on the Funiu Mountains and the Dabie Mountains, and the latter line was bounded by the Shanluo Yellow River.

The purpose of the two lines of defense is clear, which is to completely block the east and north of Jingxiang Nanyang, forcing them to go to Guanzhong.

"Wu Sangui thinks about beauty. He wants to sit in Guanzhong, sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. How can there be such a good thing in the world?"

Zhu Yihai saw through Wu Sangui's thoughts at a glance.

Still thinking about supporting the troops and self-respect, neither wanting to follow the Tartars anymore, but unwilling to contribute, and even wanting to separate the regime.Relying on the fact that there are still 5 horses in hand, this idea is really good.

"Wu Sangui is not sincere, he didn't even send a son, how can he show sincerity?"

Wu Sangui only sent a guerrilla over to deliver the surrender form, and then sent four full women.

These four Manchu women were the four Manchu aristocratic women who were rewarded to him by Dorgon after he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. No matter whether he was guarding Liaodong or marching outside, he always followed him every step of the way.

It is said to be a concubine's room for reward, but it is more like a few eyes and ears arranged by the Qing court around him.Naturally, Wu Sangui also knew that Zhu Yihai was sent here with all his brains.

It's a bit of sincerity, but in Zhu Yihai's opinion, it's not enough.

If you want to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and even want to support your own troops and separate yourself from one side, how is it possible.

Zhu Yihai adjusted his deployment and took the initiative to withdraw the surrounding soldiers outside Nanyang. After setting up two lines of defense, he withdrew his fists instead and was not in a hurry to fight.

But it's not that Zhu Yihai won't fight, it's just that he won't fight on the northern line.

"Pass an order to Yu Dafu, governor of Shanxi and Gansu in Hanzhong, to let them undo the siege of Li Guohan in Baocheng Town, and at the same time unblock the siege of Oboi."

Zhu Yihai looked at the map.

Li Guohan was surrounded by mountains and rivers, and he was already surrounded to death. The number one warrior in Manchuria, Oboi, was isolated in the Qinling Mountains, and he was also precarious.

Now Zhu Yihai asked to undo the siege and let them return to Guanzhong by Baoxie Road.

"Your Majesty wants to drive away tigers and wolves?" Chen Qianfu, governor of Huanghuai, asked.

"Since Wu Sangui said to change his past and return to the Ming Dynasty anyway, he must show some performance. Do I care about four full girls?"

"That's right, Wu Sangui really wants to show his sincerity, so if he sends his eldest son Wu Yingxiong, even if he sends a concubine, he should also send Chen Yuanyuan, right?" Jiangbei governor Qian Sule said with a smile.

Zhu Yihai waved his hand, "I'm not the kind of person who snatches wives and concubines. Back then, Wu Sangui betrayed his country and surrendered to captives, but he insisted on using Chen Yuanyuan's abduction by Liu Zongmin as an excuse to say that he became a concubine in anger. It's ridiculous."

Qian Sule also put away the joke, "Your Majesty, Li Guohan was almost besieged to death in Baocheng Town. Now that he is released, do you want to let the tiger go back to the mountain?"

"And that Oboi, known as the number one warrior of the Two Yellow Banners."

"In Hanzhong, although Li Guohan has been trapped for a long time, he still has the strength to fight. It will take a lot of money to continue the siege. If there is a strong attack, there will be more casualties. It is better to let them go to Guanzhong." Running dogs, after clearing the siege, they will definitely leave in a hurry, and then they will pass through Wu Sangui's territory.

Wu Sangui may not let them leave easily.

In other words, even if Wu Sangui lets them go, they are willing to leave directly, which is not all a bad thing.

Li Guohan and others evacuated through Guanzhong, how much trust can Wu Sangui have?The two sides are suspicious of each other, and it is easy to misfire, not to mention that now that Nikan is about to fight back to Guanzhong, it is very likely that Li Guohan and others will follow in the crusade against Wu Sangui.

Even if Wu Sangui really had the ability to appease these people and give them a way to leave, it would not be a bad thing for Zhu Yihai.

"Step by step, you can chew as much as you can."

The sudden death of Qin Liangyu was also a huge loss for the court, especially in the Sichuan-Shanxi area.

Now that Qi Biaojia was the governor of Sichuan and Yu Dafu was the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu last time, Zhu Yihai needs to rectify Sichuan and Shaanxi.

Hanzhong and Xing'an still belong to Shaanxi, and Jiezhou belongs to Gansu.

Yun and Xiang still belong to Hubei.

Letting Li Guohan and Aobai go back to Guanzhong caused Wu Sangui a headache. The Ming army could garrison the Qinling Pass with a small number of soldiers and horses, freeing up their hands to continue to reorganize the troops of Shaanxi, Gansu, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan, and rectify local officials.

"People from the towns of Zhu Dapeng and Zhu Dingguo went down the Han River to join Gao Bizheng, He Zhen and others to attack Yunyang and deter Xiangyang downstream."

"Zhang Shipeng, Ma Wannian, Qin Yiming and others withdrew to Sichuan, dispatched a group of soldiers and horses to go down the Yangtze River, joined Yiling Li Chixin, and Yuan Zongdi and others to encircle Jingzhou and deter Wuchang."

"Tell them, don't worry, gather elites in each town, spread more banners, and make the momentum bigger, but don't march too fast. Try to drive them away instead of encircling them, and try not to attack them."

The lower reaches of Jiangxi and Jiangdong also sent some soldiers up the river to block the Yangtze River to prevent the Huguang Tartars from jumping over the wall and going down the river. "

The emperor draws circles on the map.

The strategic intention is very obvious, to drive away the Qing army that was surrounded by Huguang, Nanyang and other places.

It was finally surrounded, why did you let it go.

Guanzhong!

Wu Sangui's attachment, and his performance after the attachment, made Zhu Yihai very distrustful of Wu Sangui, so this time the main target of using troops was not Nikan, but Wu Sangui.

It is best to drive Wu Sangui and Nikan to fight if they can drive away tigers and wolves.

If Wu Sangui dared to lend a way to the Qing army, Zhu Yihai would just enter Guanzhong in the name of chasing the Qing army.

If Wu Sangui dared to retreat and refuse to accept, then Zhu Yihai could use the prestige of newly regaining Huguang, mobilize the elites from all towns, enter the Guanzhong in one fell swoop, and directly overthrow Wu Sangui completely.

Zhu Yihai didn't pay much attention to Nikan and other impoverished soldiers in Huguang and Shaanxi. As long as they were willing to leave honestly, it would be very cost-effective for Zhu Yihai to go to Huguang and Nanyang without a fight.

Otherwise, if he fights the Tartars here, he will completely annihilate the surrounded Qing army, and he will suffer a lot of casualties, and even consume a lot of money, food and supplies. , there is also the possibility of being attacked behind the back by Wu Sangui, a bastard.

This kind of person can do anything.

Of course, the best result is that Nikan and others give up Huguang, Nanyang and other places, kill and rush to Guanzhong, and then bite Wu Sangui, and the fight will hurt both sides. , Reorganized his soldiers and horses, called him into the court and confessed him first.

However, this possibility is unlikely.

Zhu Yihai was prepared for the worst.

"I have a suggestion." After Chen Qianfu understood what the emperor meant, he made a bad idea. "It's better to pick a few cavalry, change into Wu Sangui's uniform, raise his banner, and then attack the Tartar soldiers,"

"Wu Sangui obviously doesn't want to fight the Tartars, so let's find a way to make them fight!"

Zhu Yihai knew that although Chen Qianfu was also a scholar, he was not an ordinary scholar. He was courageous and knowledgeable. He had been in charge of intelligence for him for several years and had a lot of tricks.

"That's a good idea. Specifically, Chen Qing will come up with a detailed plan."

Qian Sule also suggested that we should make a big publicity about Wu Sangui's attachment to the imperial court. He gave four full wives to the emperor, and he should also make a good publicity. He could even declare to the outside world that he sent his son to the imperial court as a bodyguard.

"Gao Bizheng and Liu Tichun of Xing'an Prefecture and Yunyang Prefecture can also send troops pretending to be Wu Sangui's troops from Shangluo to attack Wang Guangen in Yunyang. Our troops in Shanzhou can pretend to be Wu Sangui's troops from Tongguan to attack Nanyang or the past The Yellow River attacked the Qing army in Shanxi, and it could also directly harass Nanyang and Xiangyang, just muddy the water as much as possible."

"False and real, how will these Tartars figure it out? Even if Wu Sangui has a hundred mouths, he probably won't be able to tell."

Zhu Yihai also summoned the accompanying prime ministers and cabinet scholars, and began to discuss how to send officials, garrison troops, and relief after Huguang was recovered as soon as possible.

Wen An's suggestion is that the Ministry of Officials should start to select all the officials needed in Huguang, including Nanyang area. Arrive soonest.

Hubei Province will set up ten prefectures, Wuchang, Hanyang, Huangzhou, Jingzhou, De'an, Anlu, Xiangyang, Yichang, Shizhou, and Yunyang, which will be divided into three roads, Jianghan Road, Xiangyang Road, and Jingnan Road.

Compared with the military, Zhu Yihai is more worried about the problems after Hubei's recovery at this time.

There have been wars here for several years, and the blood has been completely sucked dry by the Tartars. Countless people have gone bankrupt, and the population has been lost in large numbers.

Many fields are barren.

There are all kinds of problems.

After recovery, a massive blood transfusion is required.

Fortunately, the upper and lower reaches of Hubei are now controlled by the Ming army, especially the Liangjiang area in the lower reaches is now a stable granary, and there is also the golden waterway of the Yangtze River.

In the past few years, the imperial government has purchased grain uniformly, established grain stations and granaries in various places, and set up large transshipment warehouses at transportation hubs, with a lot of grain in hand.

"Mr. Wen is right. To govern a region, one must first select good officials, and send them to the surrounding counties in advance to get used to it. This will not only assist local officials in the logistics of the war, but also be able to take office as soon as they are recovered. I still have This suggestion can allow the prefectures and counties around Hubei to become sisters with Hubei first, and then provide counterpart support to strive for the fastest stabilization of Hubei."

"Officials are selected first, and they are sent to nearby prefectures and counties to be on standby at any time."

"Then there are supplies, food, salt, and cloth, all of which must be mobilized."

The officials of the Shaotian Dynasty are quite experienced in these things, they have experience in everything and have detailed plans.

When Huguang was in the late Ming Dynasty, it had already become the granary of the world.

The former Taihu Lake granary had to rely on external grain imports because of the development of industry and commerce. Huguang's grain has become a commodity grain that is convenient to transport and low cost.

Over the past few years, Huguang has been ravaged by Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and other Tartars in turn, and it is basically abolished, and everything must be restored and developed again.

"Everyone has accumulated a lot of relevant experience over the years. My only request is to be fast this time. Officials, officials, money, grain, salt, as well as the army, cattle, seeds, etc., must be prepared in advance and recovered. One place must be restored immediately.

Restoring stability is the first priority. After releasing food to save the lives of the people, it is necessary to recruit the hungry people and rogues, and then to clear the fields, restore the industrial and commercial markets, etc., and so on.

Although it is still summer, winter will come soon. "

After Hubei is recovered, the entire south can develop with peace of mind and become the rear area.In particular, the provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Hunan, Chu, Jiangxi, and Huaihe were able to let go of their hands and feet, deepen reforms, reorganize their troops, and rectify the administration of officials without any worries.
