Vow to die at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 275 The Second Eastern Expedition ([-])
On May 11, 28th year of Huaxing, the 30 troops of the security regiment finally drew their swords out of their sheaths, and the soldiers pointed directly at Zhejiang.Along with the 30 army are as many as 60 civilian workers. Fortunately, most of these 60 civilian workers are from the border, and there are special personnel to transport supplies when they are in the territory, otherwise the number of civilian workers would have to be doubled.

For this expedition, the security regiment was divided into two divisions.In order to prevent the battalion commanders from monopolizing power, the Military and Political Department transferred the columns under its command from the four battalions, and then organized a new force.This time the Guards Battalion mobilized five columns. As the Guards Battalion, although the most valiant fighters from each unit were selected for the Guards Battalion, the knives would become blunt if they were not sharpened for a long time.Therefore, taking advantage of this war, Qiu Tianxing must train his troops well, and this will also be a tradition. The Guards Battalion must often participate in the war.In order not to make it like the Beijing camp in the late Ming Dynasty,
The other three battalions took out the remaining ten columns. Among them, the seven battalions in the north had to leave troops to defend against their own people under the banner of the security regiment, so only two columns were sent out this time.The defense areas of the third and fifth battalions also had to stay for defense to prevent the reactionary forces from resurging, so they both left two columns.

In this way, the composition of the army this time is nearly one column, nearly two columns, nearly three columns, nearly four columns, nearly five columns, three one columns, three two columns, three three columns, and three zero columns (the third battalion is directly under the column) , the May [-]st Column, the [-]nd Column, the [-]rd Column, the [-]th Column (a column directly under the [-]th Battalion), the [-]st Column and the [-]nd Column.

This time Qiu Tianxing set up two front armies. The commander of the first front army was Zhang Chengwu, the commander of the third battalion. The troops under his command included the 12st Column, 18nd Column, [-]rd Column, [-]th Column, [-]st Column and [-]nd Column. column.A total of six columns, with a strength of [-].The commander of the Second Front Army is Zhang Liansheng, and under his command are the May [-]st Column, the [-]nd Column, the [-]rd Column, the [-]th Column, and the Nearly First Column, Nearly Second Column, Nearly Third Column, Nearly Fourth Column, and Nearly Fifth Column of the Guards Battalion. .A total of nine columns, with a strength of [-].

The position of army commander was only temporarily established, but Zhang Chengwu and Zhang Liansheng were also very happy, which meant that the two of them surpassed the rest of the battalion commanders in terms of status.

On the one hand, the army sent troops from Suzhou Mansion to the south, passing through Jiaxing Mansion to attack Hangzhou Mansion.The Second Front Army sent troops from Ningguo Mansion and Huizhou Mansion to attack the Tartars' Hangzhou Mansion and Yanzhou Mansion.For a time, Zhejiang was violently turbulent.

At the same time, the whole court of the Lu Dynasty panicked. When Jin Li and others defected to them, they were elated, thinking that the revival of the country was just around the corner.But now that the 30 troops of the security regiment are about to march eastward, these people seem to have fallen into the doomsday again.

Huang Zongxi, who received strict orders from the King of Lu almost every day, was devastated. Although he wanted to find Qiu Tianxing, it was simply impossible.It is difficult for Huang Zongxi to see Qiu Tianxing on weekdays, let alone now.Even though Huang Zongxi went up and down every day to find someone, he couldn't find a relationship.Seeing the war approaching day by day, Huang Zongxi was helpless, his hair was turning gray in a hurry.

Because there was really no other way, Huang Zongxi found Tan Hong, the envoy of Xinshun, and planned to go to Wen Anzhi, Gu Chaojian, Wu Sanmei and others, and hoped that all the envoys could jointly ask to see Qiu Tianxing.

The envoys who were in Jinling City at the beginning, because of the tense relationship between the Great West Army and the security regiment, Yang Weizhi had already been called back.Currently still in Jinling are Huang Zongxi, envoy of King Lu, Wen Anzhi, envoy of Yongli, Gu Chaojian, envoy of Zhu Chenggong, Tan Hong, envoy of Xinshun, and Wu Sanmei, envoy of Wu Sangui.

Under Huang Zongxi's running around and Wen Anzhi's support, several envoys actually sat together.

Although Wen Anzhi hated Lu Wang's behavior of setting up a separate central government, he still knew the reason why his lips were cold and his teeth were cold.After Emperor Hongguang was murdered, the imperial court was able to unite with Li Chuang's remnants, let alone today?The security team showed their wolfish ambitions and wanted to seize the artifact. At this critical moment of life and death, they can no longer be obsessed with who is orthodox.So when he asked to see Wen An, Huang Zongxi didn't scold him, which made Huang Zongxi heave a sigh of relief.

With Wen Anzhi's support, Gu Chaojian and Wu Sanmei also pulled over, and the five of them asked to see Qiu Tianxing together.But now is not the end of the Tartar dynasty, when a mere minister of a country can control the political situation in China.In addition, Qiu Tianxing is determined to launch the Zhejiang campaign, so the efforts of these people are bound to fail.

"The security team showed their wolfish ambitions. After seizing Zhejiang, they must not be satisfied. There will be difficulties in the future." Wen Anzhi sighed.

After hearing Wen Anzhi's words, Tan Hong and Wu Sanmei's faces turned ugly.Now that the security group has chosen to go east, it will not go north, so its expansion direction is south and west.In the south it will enter Jiangxi and Fujian, and in the west it will reach Hubei.In this way, Xinshun and Zhou Wang Wu Sangui's forces will inevitably have friction with it.Whether it is Xinshun or Zhou Wang, no one wants to collide with the security team prematurely, and wants others to consume the security team.

It’s just that the wish is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. Everyone wants others to consume the enemy, but in the end, the companions die and the enemy grows stronger. In the end, only oneself is left alone.

But people are lazy, and they don't want to stand up until the last moment, so although Tan Hong and Wu Sanmei looked ugly, they didn't say anything.Besides, the two of them are just emissaries and have no strategic decision-making power.

Wen Anzhi was very disappointed to see that he had no results in testing Tan Hong and Wu Sanmei.He felt as if he had returned to the past. When facing the Tartars, various forces were intriguing and intriguing, and now they were facing the security forces, and they couldn't twist the ropes.In the end, Wen Anzhi stopped talking.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Huang Zongxi felt chilled.He was exhausted because he just wanted to put pressure on the security team and let the security team take back the army.But all this is doomed to be in vain.

Although Huang Zongxi is an outstanding thinker, he is not a good diplomat.Finally, on the fifth day after the broadcast of the army of the security regiment, King Lu recalled the mission, and the relationship between the two parties was shattered.

There is actually no way for Qiu Tianxing to have this happen.Now that the Tartars are temporarily returning to the north, if the south is not integrated again, and when Sun Zhi, Li Taiping and others are wiped out, the south will inevitably face the offensive of the Tartars again.So at this moment, Qiu Tianxing is already racing against time.

Of course, when attacking Jinli, Qiu Tianxing also wanted to stabilize the other forces.However, the security regiment did not have excellent diplomatic talents, and the princes in the south had long been afraid of the security regiment.This time Qiu Tianxing only sent 30 troops to make a small test, and it caused a huge commotion. Even the three kings who were entrusted by the Tartars were turned against each other. All this made Qiu Tianxing smile wryly.
