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

Chapter 237
The second year of Jianwu and the first year of Yongzheng.

March.

The Dayue King Lin Jun of Guilin City formally called off his troops and stopped fighting. While following Su Wenze's advice, he gathered the refugees and licked his wounds, and at the same time sent people to spread the word to Guangxi.

However, Lin Jun just did it, and the result was completely unsatisfactory.

Later generations often said that Guangdong and Guangxi are one family. The two sides were the same place since the Han Dynasty and were not separated until the Tang and Song Dynasties.

The name Guangdong and Guangxi also comes from Guangnan East Road and Guangnan West Road in the Song Dynasty (the word Guang originated from Guangxin County in the Han Dynasty, namely Guangbu Enxin).

But in fact, apart from the fact that later generations both speak Cantonese (the majority), the two countries are completely different in terms of living habits and customs.

Guangxi is different from Guangdong. Not only is it all mountainous, the Hundred Thousand Mountains that are rich in monsters and ghosts in fantasy novels are in Guangxi.

It is said that an official has ten thousand soldiers, but I have ten thousand mountains.

Guangxi's soldiers are even more famous throughout the world.

King Lin and Prime Minister Su who accompanied the army thought that even the capital of Guilin had been destroyed, and the governor of Guangxi and a group of high-level officials in Guangxi had also been wiped out. It would be a very simple matter to spread the message to the rest of Guangxi.

But the reality is exactly the opposite. Prime Minister Su personally polished the speech, and the powerful and powerful statement was not only ineffective, but also made the rest of Guangxi share the same hatred.

All right!This is purely Lin Jun's own problem.

Guangdong and Guangxi are Guangdong and Guangxi after all. Do you really think Guangxi doesn’t know about the bad things he did in Guangdong?

Lin Jun, including his country of Dai Viet, has long had a bad reputation for military discipline.

These remaining Qing officials in Guangxi did not dare to surrender, especially to the King of Dayue who was like a bandit, burning, killing and looting.

However, Lin Jun was not too angry about this.This person is different after all. While I envy the man named Zhu, I can only gather troops to prepare for war.

Now that Guilin has been conquered, it is impossible to give up in the middle.

The war between Guangdong and Guangxi has just subsided, and a war will break out soon, and there is a high probability that it will still be a tug-of-war.

Well, it's just a tug-of-war. The whole of Guangxi can't stop Lin Jun, and the remaining half of Guangxi is naturally even less able to stop him.

It's just that Guangxi's unique geographical advantages also determine that unless he takes the initiative to surrender, Lin Jun can only bite hard.

Don't even think about eating this hard bone without losing a few teeth.

Guangxi has never been easy to fight.

……

War broke out again in Guangxi, and Longkoduo of Wuchang Prefecture also officially went to war.

This time, Longkodo sent a total of 20 troops, known to the outside world as a [-]-strong army. They boarded ships from Wuchang and marched eastward along the Yangtze River.

After the previous lesson of "losing Anqing carelessly", Longkodo realized that he could not really go out in full force.

As an important military town in the rear area, Wuchang must retain enough garrison troops to prevent counterfeiters from building plank roads overtly or secretly attacking Chencang.

Moreover, if a hundred thousand troops marched eastward, not to mention the food, grass and baggage that would be lost, Longkodo did not have a sufficient number of ships to transport these troops.

Furthermore, the emperor was talking about a three-pronged advance of troops, but their three armies were all far apart, and there was no way to make real-time contact.Moreover, there are still rebels all the way in Guangdong, and I don’t know if they can send troops on time.

In this case, it is better to be cautious and send half of the troops first to see the situation.

Longkodo also learned to be smart.

Yongzheng wanted to use him as a test brick, but he was not the real brick after all.

Jiangxi, Nanchang.

Fifty thousand Qing troops marched eastward to attack Wuchang. Naturally, it was impossible to hide such a large-scale military mobilization from the Ming army.

"Huang Er...general, Nalong old dog can't help it anymore and is going to launch troops." Li Yong looked excited and almost called Huang Er Ge.

Huang Dian has repeatedly issued orders to call him a general in the foreign army, but he cannot be called a brother.

This is not for show, this is to implement the rules, the military regulations approved by His Majesty.

Huang Dian was not a fool, and he could naturally see what the increasingly superior Nanjing boss, the former boss, and the current emperor wanted to do.

If these old brothers of the former Emperor in his latter days had continued as before, perhaps the Emperor would not kill them because of his old feelings, but would instead favor them, but that was it.

Huang Dian saw it, and Zheng Dingrui naturally saw it too.

Li Yong didn't see it, so he could only be the deputy general.

There are also many old brothers who rebelled. Whether they see it or not, most of them are struggling in the Ming army system.

They are already considered lucky.

Huang Dian carefully looked at the map of Jiangxi on the desk that had been redrawn by Privy Council professionals. He stretched out his hand silently and pointed to Chengzi Town (where Chihu Lake is, it is still a swamp), then to Jiujiang, and then to Poyang Lake, all the way Go south and reach Nanchang.

No, it could also go down the river... It's possible.

Huang Dian looked at the map and shook his head without saying a word.

Li Yong was impatient and said, "General, when will we send out troops?"

Huang Dian looked confused: "Send troops, why send troops?"

Li Yong said without thinking: "Of course we will send troops to fight! We have been hoarding military supplies and supplies everywhere these days. Aren't we just waiting for Qing Gou to come to our door?"

Huang Dian paused for a moment, nodded and said: "Well, that's right. He has made progress, and he actually knows how to pay attention to military supplies." Li Yong said proudly: "That's natural."

Huang Dian was afraid of pouring cold water: "But you guessed wrong, we will not send troops this time."

Li Yong was stunned: "Not sending troops!?"

Huang Dian said: "Yes, not only will we not send troops, we will also defend Jiangxi. We must not let the Qing dogs capture one of our cities."

Upon hearing this, not only will they not send troops, but they may also have to defend the city, or defend it to death. The hoarded military rations are most likely for this purpose.

Li Yong's face fell instantly, feeling quite unwilling and resentful.

He came to Jiangxi with him, obviously to fight.As a result, most of Jiangxi has been covered without fighting. Now, after finally waiting for [-] Qing troops to come to fight, they actually have to defend the city again, and they still hold on.

This guy is worthy of being called a "reckless man". He completely didn't realize that the [-] Qing troops alone were enough to crush them almost twice as much.

Just like that, I can still think of taking the initiative to go over and meet people.

"Come on!"

Huang Dianli didn't pay attention, and he casually recruited a soldier, quickly wrote an urgent military report, and ordered it to be sent to Nanjing quickly.

The content of this military report is very simple. It reports that [-] Qing troops have arrived in Wuchang and asks Nanjing what to do.
Ask superficially, but actually ask for help.

As for taking the initiative to fight, it is also possible to follow Yang Gong's example and build a plank road in secret to seize Chen Cang and launch a surprise attack on Wuchang.

Even if his head is squeezed by the door.

Yang Gong dared to do that, not only because of his military thinking, but also because the First Army did have the confidence.

The entire First Army, even now, can almost be regarded as the ace unit of the Ming Army.

This has nothing to do with training level. It is purely because Lien Zhan and Lianjie have established the confidence that "I am invincible" for the First Army. Only in this way can Yang Gong be supported to engage in so many unconstrained strategies.

Otherwise, if it were an ordinary army, just by going deep behind enemy lines alone, the morale of this unit would first drop by at least half, then its supplies would be cut off, and then half of it would drop again. Then there would be no need to fight.

Therefore, Yang Gong can take risks and play the trick of secretly building a plank road to assassinate Chencang. Even if his soldiers know that this is outrageous, they dare to take risks with him.

But Huang Dian couldn't do it. Although the Fourth Army under his command had been established for a long time, it never lacked daily training.But the only thing is that there is a serious lack of actual combat experience. Last year, when fighting from the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Corridor into Jiangxi, we basically waited for the wind to fall, and occasionally there were a few waves that went with the wind.

Strictly speaking, the Fourth Army in his hands is still considered a "new recruit" until now.

How could he dare to go head-to-head with [-] Qing troops?
Being shy is Huang Dian's tactic.

Defending Jiangxi and preventing Qing dogs from chewing up a city is victory.

……

Jiujiang.

In the past, this important town on the Yangtze River was not taken seriously by the Qing government and was almost completely undefended.

Now it has become an important frontline town for the Ming army. A large number of grain and grass supplies and reinforcements from Nanchang are constantly stationed in Jiujiang City.

Along with them, there are military orders to defend Jiujiang.

Now that we know that [-] Qing troops are coming to attack, we naturally need to be as prepared as possible.

Well... Li Yong originally wanted to come to defend Jiujiang, but Huang Dian rejected it.

After all, Jiujiang is an important town on the Yangtze River. Once it is lost, the consequences will be disastrous.

However, although some troops were dispatched to Jiujiang to assist in defense, the actual number of Ming troops stationed in Jiujiang City was still less than [-].

There is no way, the Ming army currently has only so many troops.

The new army of the Ming Dynasty only had ten armies in total, with a total strength of 30, but this was only a paper establishment.

The Ninth Army has just been formed, and its training level cannot be said to be bad at all, but it can only be said to be vulnerable.However, in order to deal with emergencies, the acting military commander has already decided on the candidate.

There is also the Tenth Army, which is still gathering dust in the Privy Council's plan report. It is not yet known when the number of troops will be replenished.

Therefore, the current Ming army actually only has the Eighth Route Army of the New Army.

The Third Army Xu Jin has been stationed in southern Fujian for a long time.

Qiongzhou and Taiwan Prefecture each have an independent New Army establishment in the town, which is not included in the Eighth Route of the New Army and is a completely independent system.

The Seventh Army was stationed in Zhunyang in Kecheng.

The First Army Yang Gong was stationed in Shouzhou, and the two together built the Ming Army's Huaihe River defense line.

The Second Army Zheng Dingrui is stationed in Wannan and is the prime minister of Huainan local defense.

Zhou Haizhong of the Fifth Army was stationed in Nanjing, and he and the Second Army were ready to support the quasi-water defense line in the north.

He Xiangming of the Sixth Army was stationed in Zhejiang.

Lu Feng of the Eighth Army is stationed in Nangan and is currently cooperating with the governor of Nangan to slowly clean up the area in Nangan.

This is the current military deployment of the Ming Dynasty. It can be said that the military strength is quite stretched.It's no wonder that the Privy Council is eager to expand its army, and at least two armies will be expanded.

Not only was the Qing army about to launch a large-scale attack, but it was also because the Ming army had too few troops.

The establishment of these two expanded armies is approximately equal to the new force.
