Kangxi, your Qing Dynasty is dead

Chapter 199 Who else is as fierce as Oboi? (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)

In the middle of February in the 12th year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, although Wu, Li, and Qing did not have a decisive battle in Huguang.But the plate of the Qing Dynasty in Huguang was brought to the brink of collapse by a stud played by the gambling king Eza!

Originally, although the situation of the Qing Dynasty in Huguang was precarious, there was still a considerable number of reserve teams in Jingzhou Fucheng.

They didn't move, Wu Yingxiong and Li Zicheng didn't dare to make big moves.

Otherwise, once Wu Yingxiong's army encounters some setbacks in Yunyang and Xiangyang, or even if there is a slight delay, Eza can lead at least [-] troops to help.

At least 1 of the [-] troops are the most elite Eight Banners new army of the Qing Dynasty!
It has been a year and a half since Yue Le was defeated in southern Sichuan, and the [-] and Eight Banners new troops stationed in Jingzhou are not idle—they are training there every day!

After all, it is the reign of Kangxi, not the reign of Guangxu. It is still useful for those Eight Banners to practice.

And in accordance with Kangxi's will, Ezha also opened the slave door to the slaves of the Eight Banners New Army in Jingzhou, added a group of slaves to the new army, and gave them the status of bannermen or coatmen.

Of course, you will be more motivated when you just become a servant with a well-organized organization!
At the same time, Ezha also sent a group of old and weak Eight Banners soldiers back to Beijing by order.

Another batch of Eight Banners children were transferred to serve in the Green Camp New Army to strengthen the control of the Green Camp New Army in the town under the jurisdiction of Changsha Daying.

After some adjustments, although the situation in Huguang is not good, it can still be maintained.

So Li Zicheng also didn't dare to rush east to Yuezhou. Yuezhou is also a strong city!
Even if there were only a few thousand defenders, Li Zicheng did not dare to try easily.

Because he only has an army of more than 1 people, and he has been in the army for a relatively short period of time, and his quality is also uneven. Some are too old and some are too young.Once Yuezhou could not be conquered soon and Eza's reinforcements arrived, Li Zicheng would not be sure of winning.

This is probably a kind of delicate balance of "the enemy does not move, I do not move"?
But Ezha's reckless move allowed Wu Yingxiong, who was tricked out, and Li Zicheng, who was good at seizing the opportunity, to find an opportunity to make a big move!

Yunyang, Xiangyang, Yuezhou and other places immediately "exploded" one after another!

It was Yun County, the city of Yunyang Prefecture, that exploded first.

February [-], night.

The shouting and gunfire that lasted for a day and a night finally stopped completely.

The area around the Admiral's Yamen in Yunyang has been battered with holes.

Outside the gate of the admiral's yamen, the fiercest battle had taken place, and there were corpses everywhere.There are Qing soldiers with braided heads and cloth face armor, and there are red scarf Wu soldiers with their braids cut off and a red cloth wrapped around their helmets.

The battle was very fierce, and some soldiers from both sides, even if they died in battle, their bodies were still wrestling together!
Some white-armed soldiers of the Ma family from Shizhu still maintained the last posture of sprinting with their guns raised. The spears had already pierced the enemy's body, and they themselves were shot and shot to death, but their eyes were still wide open.

It seems that the people of Shizhu Ma's family have had enough of the Qing court's bird spirit, and they are very active in helping Wu Yingxiong fight this time!

There are also some Fujian rattan soldiers from Yang Laijia's tribe, who are also extremely brave. When they fell down, they were shot in many places, but they still maintained their charging posture.Needless to say, these Fujian soldiers knew that they hated the Qing Dynasty deeply!
What kind of treatment did they get with the "big brother" back then?What kind of treatment did you get after following the Qing Dynasty?Moreover, the boss is so good (a boss who is willing to give a lot of money to the subordinates is a good boss), and it hurts Kang Mazi. And this Kang Mazi is still doing his best to harm their hometown in Fujian!
The gate of the admiral's yamen is the main direction of Wu Bing's attack. Wu Shifan commanded his fusiliers under the cover of Yang Laijia's rattan soldiers to form a dense formation here to shoot against Tong Guoyao's pro-bidding soldiers.

The dense rain of bullets hit the wall near the gate full of bullet holes!

Tong Guoyao's shotgun soldiers almost lost all their casualties in this battle. He found that the Wu soldiers' firepower was too fierce, and Tong Guoyao, who knew that the situation was over, was still unwilling to fail.

These strong men are not on the account of Tong Guoyao's bidding, but the young men Tong Guogang and Tong Guowei helped him find from the Tong family's slaves.

The Tong family had originally been the founding ministers of Manchuria, and they had been relatives of the emperor for several generations, and now they were the natal family of Kangxi's biological mother.Naturally, he is extremely dignified, and the servants in the family are also stronger and braver than other families.

The two brothers were also anxious about Kangxi's concern. Knowing that Emperor Mazi was worried that Yunyang's defense line would not be able to hold up, he dispatched 300 people from his own house and village and gave them to Tong Guoyao.

And Kangxi was also "generous" and gave them all the status of dressing in the three flags!

This is the mighty grace of the emperor!

When Wu Shifan, Ma Wanshan of Shizhu Ma's family, and Yang Laijia, the general soldier of Xiangyang, rushed into Yunxian County under the support of Yunyang Deputy General Hong Fu, three hundred "minion soldiers" who were not on the account came out to help Tong Guoyao. It saved the admiral's office in Yunxian from falling in the first place.

Since the admiral's office was not conquered immediately, the Yunyang soldiers who had been scattered all over Yunxian County also had a backbone and moved closer to the admiral's office.This allowed Tong Guoyao to gather a team of 800 people, who could rely on the sturdy building of Yunyang Admiral's Yamen to carry it to death for a day and a night.

But Wu Shifan, Yang Laijia, Ma Wanshan and Hong Fu have five thousand soldiers under their command, which is a huge advantage in numbers!In addition, Wu Shifan's musketeer team could fire very dense firepower, so Tong Guoyao was still defeated until the night of February [-]th.

However, this Manchurian national uncle still behaved quite stubbornly, leading his coated men to break through three times in a row.The last time he even rushed to Wu Shifan's front!The face of this young man who was on the battlefield for the first time was so frightened that his flintlock soldiers almost collapsed, and some people began to throw their flintlock guns and flee for their lives!
Fortunately, Yang Laijia's Fujian rattan soldiers and Ma Wanshan's Shizhu white soldiers played steadily and rushed forward to fight hand-to-hand in time, which prevented Tong Guoyao's coated men.

The two sides fought to death outside the gate of the admiral's yamen. After fighting for nearly half an hour, Tong Guoyao's troops were finally wiped out!
But Tong Guoyao himself categorically rejected Wu Shifan's surrender, and finally committed suicide!

Although winning this battle was more difficult than imagined, with the death of Tong Guoyao, Yun County, the core of the Yunyang defense line of the Qing Dynasty, was still completely controlled by Wu Bing!

And two days after Yun County was captured by Wu Shifan, another group of Wu soldiers under the command of Wu Yingxiong finally, after a fierce battle, completely took down the last stronghold of the Yunyang defense line of the Qing Dynasty, the city of Xiangyang, known as the iron strike!

The Qing army guarding Xiangyang was Yang Maoxun, Fuzhi of Yunyang. He was the commander of the Han army in Xiangbaiqi and the son of Yang Linxiang, who had been a general of Pingnan. Yes, of course it is stubborn.

Although he was caught off guard by Wu Yingxiong who was carrying the banner of Wu Sangui with only [-] bidding bids, and lost some, he still led the rest of the [-] people to retreat to the most dangerous fortress "Madam City" in the northwest corner of Xiangyang City. .

The Lady City is bordered by the Han River in the north, part of the unusually wide Xiangyang City Moat in the south, the Xiangyang City Wall in the east, and the Hanshui Wharf in the west.The terrain is very dangerous, and the city walls are tall and thick.Wu Yingxiong, who did not carry heavy artillery, had no choice but to order his men to attack Madame City along the city wall of Xiangyang. After fighting for two days and two nights, he finally pulled out the nail.

Like Tong Guoyao, Yang Maoxun was also stubborn to the end, and in the end he jumped off a building to die for his country—Ezha, who had lost his stud, hadn’t committed suicide yet, but his two subordinates went down to find Lord Shunzhi and cried and complained, but they didn’t know Can you find it?

Once Yun County and Xiangyang were lost, Kangxi's painstakingly managed Yunyang defense line was completely blown away!
Although there are still many troops on the front line, all the defensive hubs in the back have been captured by the enemy, and the defenders in the front line strongholds have all become solitary troops, and will face the double attack of Wu Sangui and Wu Yingxiong. The entire army is wiped out. time issue.

But the bigger thunder still exploded in Yuezhou City!

Because the Huguang battlefield was divided into several areas by the Yangtze River, Dongting Lake, and other large rivers, the real hub of the Qing army in this area was not Jingzhou in the north of the river, but Yuezhou at the confluence of the Yangtze River and Dongting Lake.

So in the past few months, Eza has been setting up thousands of generals in Yuezhou, and he is also running at both ends of Jingzhou and Yuezhou.

And Yuezhou was blocked in the east, Jingzhou was blocked in the north, and Yichang was blocked in the northwest. Li Zicheng was contained.Although he can still go south, but Wu Guogui and Zu Zeqing are coming from the south, and Li Zicheng is going south, so they bump into each other head-on?

However, Ezha's stud removed more than half of the troops guarding Yuezhou, leaving only 2000 people.It is difficult for people to guard Yuezhou City for a while. For those strongholds guarding the Yangtze River and Dongting Lake near Yuezhou City, they can only put on a few people to pretend.

However, Li Zicheng, who didn't have many sailors and ships, snatched dozens of large wooden boats for the bridge after Li Laishun and Hu Yiqiang demolished the Shashikou pontoon bridge!
Now Li Zicheng finally has a Yangtze River navy consisting of dozens of ships!
So he led his army to board the ship at Shishou in the southeast of Jingzhou. More than 1 people marched eastward along the Yangtze River to the east of Yuezhou, guarding Chenglingji at the intersection of Dongting Lake and the Yangtze River.

Chenglingji didn't have many defenders at all, so it fell immediately, so Li Zicheng's gate to Wuchang was opened!
The Qing army guarding Yuezhou didn't know what happened. They found that Li Zicheng's army was rushing towards them from the north, and they thought that the powerful Eza had been wiped out!Naturally, he didn't dare to defend Yuezhou anymore, so he surrendered in Kaesong under Huang Zhisheng's persuasion.

Therefore, Li Zicheng took down the hub of the Qing army on the Huguang battlefield without bloodshed, and also snatched a large amount of supplies hoarded by Eza in Yuezhou and the artillery used by the Qing army to block the waterway along the Dongting Lake (they thought Li Zicheng and Wu Guogui could only came from Dongting Lake), and also got a large number of ships blocked on the river east of Chenglingji.

Now Li Zicheng's door to Wuchang is not only open, but also has enough ships, artillery, and food to carry out this task that can change the pattern of the world.

And that Ezha, who was proficient in the "Stud Way", actually took back what he thought was the bargaining chip from the "gambling table" after realizing that something was wrong. He took the troops and supplies from Yiling Town and returned to Jingzhou City.

When I went out to gamble, I had [-] yuan, and now I bring [-] yuan home. Is this not a win or a loss?
With a bang, a table was overturned on the ground of Xi'an Xingzai's South study.

Then came the roar of Emperor Kangxi: "Ezha. Damn it!"

"Emperor calm down!"

"Your Majesty, although Ezha is at fault, the main force of Huguang's army is still there"

Some of the University Scholars and Hanlin Scholars kneeling at the bottom had a good relationship with Ezha and wanted to explain for him, but they were met with Kangxi's "death stare" and trembled for a while, daring not to say anything.

"Your Majesty, Jingzhou is already a lonely city, and it is useless to guard it. The slaves suggest to abandon Jingzhou immediately and transfer troops to Wuchang and Hanyang! Wuchang and Hanyang are the gateways guarding the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, so there must be no loss!"

Finally someone understood why Ezha deserved to die!

Although he didn't pay much for the stud he brought out, the three important strongholds on the Huguang battlefield, Yunyang, Xiangyang, and Yuezhou, were all pulled out!
And Yuezhou is the gateway to Wuchang!
And there are not many defenders in Wuchang City. Once Li Zicheng's army goes down the river and hits Wuchang, Wuchang will not be able to defend it at all.

Now Wu Yingxiong is already in Xiangyang "Xiong Zhen Central Plains", if Li Zicheng takes Wuchang again, he will overwhelm the southeast!

Moreover, Li Zicheng was originally blocked in the south of Jingjiang River and west of Dongting, and the only room for development was to go south, and sooner or later he would conflict with Wu Guogui.

Now Li Zicheng can transfer to Wuchang. Although Wuchang is the leader of Huguang, it is located on the corner of Huguang. Wu Guogui can completely ignore Li Zicheng and attack the Central Plains together with Wu Yingxiong.

If Wu Yingxiong and Wu Guogui attacked the Central Plains together, what would Kangxi do?
Kangxi looked at the person who gave him advice, it turned out to be Suo'etu, a great scholar.

He sighed and asked, "Suo'etu, do you think Eza can enter Wuchang before Li Zicheng does?"

"This"

Suo'etu couldn't answer.

Kangxi shook his head: "He can't! If he could, he should lead Jingzhou's army to Wuchang now!
But he just stayed in Jingzhou and didn't move. He didn't act when he should act, and acted randomly when he shouldn't act!Can I still count on him? "

Another scholar made a suggestion to Kana: "The emperor. The servant suggested that Ezha should be removed from the post."

"Who can go to Jingzhou to replace Eza?" Kangxi asked.

"Qishan Daying President Yue Le can go to Jingzhou to stabilize the situation." University scholar Jin Batai suggested.

Yue Le's Prince An has been taken away, but Kangxi has no one to use, so instead of sending Yue Le back to Beijing to eat old rice, he was appointed as the president of Qishan Camp, responsible for the defense of Ganlong .

"Yue Le can indeed." Kangxi nodded, "It is definitely too late for Jingzhou's soldiers to go to Wuchang now, if they move rashly, they might leave Maicheng. Why don't they be crucified in Jingzhou City!

Jingzhou City has sufficient reserves, the city is solid, and there is still a large area of ​​land around it that can be operated. If Yue Le works hard, he should be able to restrain Wu Yingxiong and Wu Guogui from going northward with all their strength.

But once Yue Le leaves, who will Gansu hand over to?Le Erjin doesn't seem to work, does it? "

Several grand scholars shook their heads together.

Le Erjin definitely can't do it!

He is similar to Ezha, and asking him to guard Qishan is simply to give him Xia Houmao's script.

"Your Majesty, the old minister knows that one person can go out of Gansu." Du Lide, a scholar of the Baohe Palace, proposed someone to Kangxi at this time, "Murudu, the Mongolian capital of Zhengbai Banner. Laita is a veteran in the army. The king of Tongjun conquered east and west, and made great achievements in battle, and he was awarded Baya La Jia La Zhang Jing in the reign of Tian Cong."

Baya Lajia Lazhangjing is the guardian of the army. If it was left in the Kangxi year, he would be the gatekeeper of the imperial city.

But the guards who participated in the leadership of the Tiancong years, and the guards of the Zhengbai Banner with Duoduo as the banner owner... that's amazing!
The Zhengbai flag back then was a flag that macho men walked everywhere!

To be the leader of the most elite Zhengbai Banner White Armored Soldiers, he must be a super hunk who rolls out of a crowd of hunk men, curly and fierce!
Later, this Laita followed Duoduo to fight everywhere, defeated Li Chuang, and destroyed Nanming. In terms of military exploits, he did not lose to Oboi.

If it weren't for the three brothers of the "old family" who died so badly later, and bad things happened, this Laita would have been the minister of the guards long ago.

But even if the "old family" died, he was not idle. He still made contributions to the Qing Dynasty in killing the enemy. He defeated Zheng Chenggong and resisted Li Dingguo. .

It can be said that there is no service and no contact, and he must come to every battle. He was not cast idle until after the battle of Maolu Mountain... If he is not allowed to idle anymore, he will be "successful"!

"Your Majesty, this slave also thinks that Laita is the only way to defend Gansu!" Suo Etu also thought that this Laita was fine, and he also understood Kangxi's thoughts, so he added, "This Laita is as fierce as Oboi...or else I can't get into the eyes of Dorgon and Duoduo!"

As fierce as Oboi!

Now Kangxi also knows that Oboi is good...and this "Oboi" is the talent that Dorgon and Duoduo fancy.

Can Duo Ergun and Duo Duo's favorite people be worse?
"It's good to be as fierce as Oboi!" Kangxi nodded, "I just want such a hero! How many veteran generals like this are there in the court? Think about it carefully and recommend them all to me! I will use them again!"

Now Kangxi finally knows that those young princes of the clan who can play with him are unreliable!
You have to fight like a veteran of Oboi!

He paused and said: "Let Yue Le guard the Jingzhou Mansion... Return Prince An to him! This time I don't have any demands on him, just keep Jingzhou City.

Without losing Jingzhou, Wu Yingxiong and Wu Guogui would not be able to concentrate on going north.

But what about Li Zicheng, the scourge?If he wins Wuchang, he should go to Jiangnan next, right?Jiangnan... who can guard it for me? "
