Chapter 228: Make good use of people, attack and change(2/2)
, the soldiers pointed north, Emperor Gengshen fled back to Mobei, this is the result of what has been done.
The grand strategy of the "Three Catalans" that Qian Qianyi called was undoubtedly of considerable strategic vision at the time. If Zheng Chenggong, Zhang Huangyan's southeastern forces, Sun Kewang's southwest divisions, and thirteen more were
Being in a favorable position in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River, we can work together to attack from the east and west and capture the south of the Yangtze River. Then we will use the south of the Yangtze River as the foundation, with sufficient money and food, to launch the northern expedition, which will also turn the world upside down.
It is a pity that momentum is rare and easy to lose, and ZTE's grand plan was eventually put to waste due to the internal strife of the Southern Ming generals. Qian Qianyi was so sad that he wrote a poem and sighed: "The slope of the sea cliffs and mountains will never be the same from now on."
It belongs to China. There is no place to die in the belly of a fish, how can there be ambergris flooding the sea? Looking across the river is not a Han flag, and blowing the sun and moon are like Hujia. Chang'e has no place to go, she relies on the silver wheel and cries the sweet-scented osmanthus."
The current situation is very similar to the plan of Qian Qianyi and others. The army to destroy Shuo points to the south of the Yangtze River, and the army to defeat Shuo threatens Jingxiang. There are navy and marines based in Zhoushan and Chongming on the southeast coast, and there are troops in the south.
The Xishuo army and the Zhengshuo army are watching with eager eyes, attacking from the east and west, and the north and south are responding to each other.
Striking while the iron is hot, the Ming army's offensive did not stop, and the Mieshuo army, which was the most powerful, still played the leading role.
On August 16, most of the reinforcements from the Qing court had not yet arrived in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. More than 20,000 Shuo-killing troops set off by boat from Xiapu Port. Under the fire cover of the fleet led by Deng Yao, they landed at Nangang, Cangnan County, in the Hengyang Branch River Basin in southern Zhejiang.
, after successfully attacking Fenshui Pass in Fuding. Another fleet led by Yang Yandi was cruising off the coast of Wenzhou, restraining the Wenzhou Qing army from going south for reinforcements.
On August 18, the Ming army attacked from both sides and broke through the Fenshui Pass in Fuding, opening the passage from Fujian to Zhejiang. This was both a feint attack and a diversion. With the Fenshui Pass occupied by the Ming army, they could attack Jiangsu and Zhejiang at any time.
Situation. If the danger is within grasp, a small number of troops can hold on to it, freeing up the main force's hands and feet to make other plans.
Jiangsu and Zhejiang were in urgent need. General Tula of Zhejiang quickly dispatched Jiangxi Qing troops to Quzhou to strengthen the defense of another pass, Xianxia Pass. He then personally led the troops south from Hangzhou and took up command in Lijiang. Wenzhou, Lishui and Quzhou formed a second line of defense.
Line of defense.
After the Mie Shuo Army captured Fenshui Pass, they did not go deep into Zhejiang. They only sent a small number of troops to move south of the Qing army's defense line, seemingly to test the strength of the Qing army. Another force was stationed in Yanping (now Nanping) in northwest Fujian.
, Shaowu (still named today) gathered to make preparations for entering Gan Province from the west.
What the Qing army didn't expect was that the commander-in-chief of the Zhengshuo Army, which was originally stationed in Shaoguan and threatening Ganzhou, led 5,000 troops and horses to Shaowu secretly. In Shaowu, Li Sixing was reorganizing his troops and accumulating supplies.
Just waiting for the opportunity to come, he would march into Jiangxi and show off his talents.
In other words, there are now two troops in Fujian Province: the Zhengshuo Army and the Destroying Shuo Army. There are only more than 10,000 Ming troops guarding the Great and Small Meiling, and they have been assigned to the Xishuo Army commanded by Gong Ma Weixing of Syria.
The mobilization of troops and horses and the relocation of generals successfully eluded the eyes and ears of the Qing army. The change of the main attack direction was even more unexpected by the Qing army. They did not attack places heavily defended by the enemy, such as Ganzhou, and even Zhejiang was in Cai
The Land of Endowment is also temporarily put on hold, but the enemy is weak. This thinking mode is actually not new. It is almost the same as besieging a fortified city and sweeping the surrounding areas first.
