Chapter 350 Wind Man Lou

Beijing was undercurrents, and on the Henan battlefield, Longkodo was even more angry.

Now, Longkodo's army is attacking Runan. The city of Runan, which has been held for half a year, is now in the near future. As long as Runan is broken, the rebels will have no place to gain a foothold in Henan. At that time, whether it is Zhu Jiancai or Wang Zhiqing, their only way is to travel south to Hubei.

Longkodo was prepared for this and had already deployed heavy troops near Henan. On the one hand, it was to deal with the Gaojin troops in Hubei, and on the other hand, it was to intercept the rebels who fled south in Henan.

Everything seemed so smooth. After a year of fighting in Henan, it was finally time to harvest the fruits of victory. But at this moment, news suddenly came from Jiangxi that Jiujiang was lost, which made Longkodo stunned.

After the Ming army took Anqing, they were tempting westwards, and then Wangjiang and Pengze. Longkodo knew about this, and he knew that it was impossible for Jiujiang's defenders to block the Ming army's attack on Jiangxi. However, Longkodo was considering the overall situation and first solved the Henan rebel army, and then transferred troops to rescue Jiangxi. This was the strategy he formulated, and from the previous perspective, this strategy was not improper from the overall situation.

The war was not out of the past, and it was unlikely to attack the city in such weather. If the atmosphere improved today, Longkodo was sure to break Runan in the shortest time. Judging from the actions of Zhu Jiancai and Wang Zhiqing in Runan, the other party also understood that Runan could no longer defend and was preparing to flee south.

At that time, the entire Henan territory will be recovered. Longkodo will lead his troops to follow the enemy straight into Hubei. The troops he had long been in Hubei could encircle and annihilate these two rebels.

If everything goes well, it will be at most one month. After Zhu Jiancai and Wang Zhiqing are completely dealt with, what is placed in front of him will be Gao Jin's troops further south and the Ming army in the east. Gao Jin's troops can be temporarily put on the situation. With the Qing army in Hubei's current equal strength, Gao Jin's troops are not troubled. And the Ming army, after the great victory, Longkodo can directly lead troops from Hubei to Jiangxi and then resolve the siege of Jiujiang.

This is Longkodo's overall plan. In his opinion, there is another town of troops in the city of Jiujiang, so he can defend it for more than a month, but he didn't expect that things were not as he had planned. Before he took Runan, Jiujiang lost the first, and the reason for the loss was that he himself gave up Jiujiang.

"Zhou Zhongliang! Bao Jian!" Longkodo gritted his teeth and wished he could eat these two people alive. The thief was a thief. Even if he betrayed the former leader and surrendered to the court, he was still a thief! These two bastards who were greedy and afraid of death should be cut into pieces!

"Master, how to deal with it now? Please make clear what you want to do."

Several generals were shocked when they learned about the Jiangxi Incident. Losing Jiujiang was undoubtedly fatal to the Qing army. The previous plan seemed to be unable to continue. Everyone looked at each other and couldn't help asking.

Longkodo took a few deep breaths and finally suppressed the anger in his heart. Then he ordered the army to launch a fierce attack on Runan without hesitation. At this time, it was unnecessary to think about anything else. He had to solve the Henan problem first, start to eliminate Zhu Jiancai and Wang Zhiqing's troops, and then turn around and deal with the war in Jiangxi after they were solved.

"Ode to the Lord!" the generals responded in unison and hurriedly went out to prepare. After these people left the camp, Longkodo touched his forehead and sat down slowly.

"Master, use some ginseng tea." A voice sounded in my ears. When I looked up, I saw that it was my confidant Fuying. Fuying was the Tong Jia family, and he was considered a member of Longkodo. Although he had no fame, he could write and calculate and was cautious in his work. He was trusted by Longkodo, so Longkodo kept him by his side to deal with military Chinese documents and other matters.

After taking the teacup handed over by Fuying, Longkodo did not pick it up and drink it. Instead, he pondered for a moment and asked, "Fuying!"

"The slave is here."

"You said, can the rebels in the world be wiped out?"

"Of course, Runan is in danger now, and the master can enter the city soon. At that time, whether it is Zhu Jiancai or Wang Zhiqing..."

Before Fuying finished speaking, Longkodo waved his hand and interrupted, "Zhu Jiancai, Wang Zhiqing is just a mere gangster, and it is not difficult to defeat them. After conquering Runan, his troops would inevitably go south, and our army attacked the north and south of the commander in Hubei, and destroying them even more. But what I asked was not these, but the rebels in the world, especially in Nanjing..."

"This..." Longkodo mentioned the Ming Dynasty in Nanjing. Fuying didn't know how to answer for a while. If it were someone else, of course he would flatter Longkodo as he said something, but Fuying was different. He was deeply trusted by Longkodo, and it would be extremely difficult to ask him to say something against his will.

Seeing that Fuying hesitated for a long time and did not speak, Longkodo couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that you are not sure at all. Indeed! Now the pseudo-Ming has become a big shot and its momentum is at its peak. Moreover, since the rebels in the army, Zhu Yicheng has been working step by step. He is not only good at internal affairs and military affairs, but also uses the rebels from all over the country to expand their power when the court is fighting, and the situation is still today."

Shaking his head, Longkodo said: "If the eldest prince had only released one in Jiangnan when he was in Jiangnan, and his elite troops took Ningbo and destroyed Zhu Yicheng first, how could the situation today be there? Unfortunately, one step is wrong, one step is wrong, and a great opportunity is missed, and even today!"

"Master, don't worry. After destroying Zhu first, Wang's two tribes will use their master's talents to fight against the thieves. My Qing still occupies most of the world. Although the pseudo-Ming is strong, I think I have not had the power to directly compete with my Qing."

"I hope this is the case." Longkodo nodded slightly. In fact, he thought of this point half a year ago. The reason for the chaos in the world was not Yuan Qi at the time, nor Zhu Jiancai or Wang Zhiqing now, nor Gao Jin in Hubei, but Zhu Yicheng in Nanjing.

Now, as long as Zhu Yicheng is present, it will be useless to wipe out more rebels. Only by completely defeating the Ming army and recapturing Nanjing can the Qing Dynasty truly make it appear in the quagmire.

Now, the loss of Jiujiang has also made Longkodo more determined, so he decided to directly command Jiangxi after resolving the Henan war and compete with the Ming army.

"How is Beijing now?" Longkodo asked.

"A few days ago, the old master sent a message saying that it is not peaceful in the capital now. Please, Master, you are good at leading troops outside and do not interfere in the capital." Fuying did not talk about the capital, but instead advised.

Longkodo knew about this and understood why his father passed this message to him. Since Kangxi made the eighth prince the crown prince, several parties in the court have begun to fight for it. As the emperor, Kangxi seemed to have some signs of losing his imperial power because of this matter.

But Longkodo knew Kangxi very well. This old man who had been an emperor for fifty years was not an ordinary person. How could he be so easily knocked down? The more he retreated now, the stronger the revenge he would come at that time. This is also the reason why Tong Guowei sent someone to pass the message.

The storm was about to come and the building was filled with wind. Longkodo vaguely felt that a storm was about to start in the capital, but the Qing Dynasty is now shaking. Can it withstand this storm?
