Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 580 Jin Shenghuan Pushes Anqing

Entering and occupying Anqing, the southern capital is in sight. This is indeed a huge temptation, but it also comes with risks.

Because of this great victory, the officials in the hall have greatly increased their confidence, and they all believe that they should carry on the momentum of the great victory, make persistent efforts, and continue to use troops.

No one objected to this point, and a consensus has been reached, but there are differences in the direction of sending troops.

Some people, led by Huang Renlong, who participated in politics from the right, were bold and bold, suggesting to go east along the river to recover Jinling, while Huang Keyuan intended to persuade the Jiangxi Ming army to go west and break the siege of Wuchang first.

Wanji listened for a while, and saw that Jiang Riguang thought it would be safer to attack Wuchang first, so he immediately calmed down. According to the intelligence, the Jiangnan Hong bandits still had at least 5 horses to guard against the King of Lu. Jinling, first, I don’t know if it can be captured, and second, I don’t care about Hubei, it definitely won’t work.

Wanji was thinking about it, but Huang Renlong said: "Jiang Ge's department, what Keyuan is worried about is the siege of Wuchang. Our army is going east. How can Duoduo not withdraw the siege?" He cupped his hands like Wanji and said, "Master Supervisor , the army going east, not only can take Jinling, but also immediately break the siege of Wuchang."

When he said this, everyone nodded, even Wanji was a little moved, but Huang Keyuan said: "Huang Shenzheng made a mistake, the army is going east, and the siege of Wuchang may not be resolved. If Duoduo sees that Wuchang City will be destroyed soon, don't you?" Withdraw from the siege and intensify the onslaught. If Wuchang is broken, Xiangyang will also be in danger. At this time, Duoduo will divide his troops and enter Jiangxi all the way, and help Jinling all the way, but our army cannot attack Jinling. Wouldn't the situation be completely destroyed? Besides, even if Duoduo Withdrawing from the siege, there are 10 troops, and we only need to leave [-] to defend the area, and lead [-] troops back to the east, so our army will not be pinched by the Jinling Qing army and Duoduo."

Huang Renlong was taken aback when he heard this. He actually didn't know anything about military affairs. After a while, he refused to accept it and said, "There are more than [-] soldiers in Chu, and their strength far surpasses that of Jiangxi. How do you know that Governor He can't defend Wuchang? How do you know that we can't?" Conquer Jinling before Duoduo returns to his teacher?"

This is a bit unreasonable. Most of the people in the hall are civil servants who are good at political affairs, but it is clear that successful people think about failure before winning.

After the two debated like this, everyone's ambitions, which had flourished because of a big victory, cooled down.

Huang Keyuan was not angry when he heard the doubts, but said patiently: "Huang participated in politics and marched into Jinling. Although he may make great achievements, the Hong bandits are not incompetent. Once they fail, all previous efforts will be wasted. If the siege of Wuchang is to be solved in the west, that is not the case. Under the pincer attack of the local army and the Wuchang defenders, there is at least [-]% chance of defeating Doduo. Once we can consume more than half of the troops in Doduo's hands, the Qing court will suffer heavy losses and cannot recover in a short time. What will we do if we take Jiangnan again? Disaster?"

Hearing this, Wan Wanji already knew it, but Huang Keyuan was an outsider after all, so he had to take Huang Renlong into consideration, so he stood up with a smile and said, "Everyone, I've been discussing this matter of using troops, but I didn't ask the commander." I think it's better to put aside the general's opinion for the time being, and then discuss with Jin Duzhen after asking, what do you guys think?"

Everyone knew Wanji's intention in their hearts, so they all took their seats.

At this time, Jiang Yueguang said: "We have won this battle. There is no threat for us in Jiangxi. Now, should we immediately organize the evacuated people to return to their hometowns, seize the time to plant seedlings, and resume production."

Wan Wanji nodded, deeply agreeing, "What Jiang Ge said is true. Now that the war is over, people in Jiangxi will be at peace. The officials of the third department don't have to follow the governor. Everyone performs their duties and arranges for the people to rush to plant. In addition, the mines in Fuzhou and the cikilns in Jingdezhen must be restored as soon as possible. This is the main source of taxation in Jiangxi, and you must not neglect it."

"Your Majesty obeys!" All the officials stood up and bowed in unison.

Immediately Wanji left Jiang Yueguang to preside over government affairs, then left Jinxian County quickly and went east to supervise the division.

On the Yuzhang Plain, the finishing work after the war is still going on.

The 5 Qing army entered Jiangxi, and after a great battle, it disappeared.Except for many cavalry who escaped, most of the green battalion soldiers were surrounded and wiped out, but there were exceptions.

The cavalry come and go like the wind, and if they win, they will wave their troops to cover up the kill, and if they lose, they will flee hundreds of miles in an instant. It is indeed more difficult to deal with.

The Eight Banners soldiers only cared about running for their lives, and the fate of the Green Battalion soldiers became miserable. Most of them were driven into Poyang Lake, but a small number also managed to escape eastward. It was just that the Eight Banners master ran away on horseback, but they could not run away from the pursuing Ming army.

When these green battalion soldiers saw the Ming army chasing them, they could only flee into the city one after another and defend the city.

In the territory of Raozhou Prefecture, these remnant Qing soldiers guarded three or four counties, or villages and towns, intending to resist stubbornly, but as Li Yuanyin carried Man Dahai's head with a gun, they slipped around the city, and most of the Qing soldiers left the city surrender.

This was the second shell head captured by the Ming army after Luck Dehun was killed by Wang Yanpeng. The head picked up by the spear will cheer endlessly wherever it appears.

Jin Shenghuan supervised nearly 10 troops to pull out the strongholds of the remnants of the Qing army in Raozhou Prefecture one by one, and marched all the way. When they reached Fuliang County, Tu Guobao, the governor of Susong of the Qing Dynasty, led more than 2000 remnants of the army, but they did not surrender.

If this old boy was able to run, he ran to Fuliang only to be met by the cavalry. He fled into the city in a hurry, but the Ming army cavalry shouted for him to surrender, but he refused.

Li Yuanyin took Man Dahai's head and walked around outside the city, but his tried and tested trick didn't work.

Tu Guobao was the governor of the Qing court, Su Song, who fought many battles with the Taihu rebels. When Wu Shengzhao took the Songjiang Mansion to fight against the Qing Dynasty, Tu Guobao ordered the arrest of those who participated. He had to kill more than a hundred people a day, and it took half a month. After that, he participated in the siege of Taihu Lake In the village, the rebels were massacred, and there was a hardcore traitor.

On the assassination list released by Tiandihui, Hong Chengchou ranked first, and he was also in the top ten in the Jiangnan area.Perhaps because he felt that he had sinned deeply, and for the safety of his family in Jiangnan, he decided to follow the Qing court to the dark.

Jin Shenghuan's army marched to Fuliang, and after joining up with the cavalry, he knew that the Tu national treasure would not surrender.

At this time, Li Yuanyin asked for orders again, and led a group of miners to dig a hole in the city, fill it with explosives, and then seal it. With a bang, a big gap was blown into the old city wall of Fuliang County.

Wang Yan bombed Zhangzhou, but the technology was not good enough, and the effect was not great, but Li Bu has learned such a new skill in the past few months of his career as a miner.

Fuliang is a small county town with thin walls, which is simpler than mine blasting.

The Ming army swarmed in through the gap, and none of the [-] green battalion soldiers were left behind. They were all killed.He ordered someone to find a big clay pot, cut off the limbs, put them in the pot, and only the head leaked out.

(Thank you Hao for the 999 reward, and thank you for coming to give me a smile.)
