Chapter 200 Who can stop Li Zicheng? Only Wu Sangui! (Please subscribe, please vote)

Who can defend Jiangnan and fight against Li Chuang?

Hearing this question, the few bachelors, Hanlin bachelors and ministers present couldn't help but sigh.

Because the Qing Dynasty once had too many people who could defend Jiangnan, and Li Chuang was defeated!

Duduo, Haoge, Azige, Obai, Tan Tai, He Luohui, Mulima, and Wu Sangui!

But now, these famous kings and generals who can resist Li Zicheng are fighting to the death, rebelling, and rebelling. No one in the huge Qing Dynasty can resist Li Zicheng!

There was a dead silence in the south study room, and the atmosphere was so oppressive that it made people breathless. I don’t know how long it took before I heard the voice of Hanlin scholar Chen Tingjing: "Your Majesty, I know someone who can definitely stop Li Zicheng from the Qing Dynasty for me.

Jiangnan!”

"Who is this person?" Kangxi quickly looked at his Confucian teacher.

Chen Tingjing took a breath, and then said a name that surprised everyone: "Wu Sangui!"

"What?" Kangxi was shocked, "Master Chen, what did you say?"

"Your Majesty, I am saying that in today's world, only Wu Sangui can help me in the Qing Dynasty to prevent Li Zicheng from going to Jiangnan."

Kangxi stared at his teacher with burning eyes. This Chen Tingjing looked quite normal. He should, perhaps, not be crazy, right?

Chen Tingjing said word for word: "In the past, Emperor Hongwu conquered Jiangnan first and then the world! But today's Jiangnan, in terms of population, taxation, and output, is probably more important than it was in the late Yuan Dynasty.

. If Li Zicheng could go east along the river and establish the southern capital, Liangjiang and three provinces plus Wuchang, Hanyang, Huangzhou and other prefectures, although the territory would not account for one-third of the world, the population and wealth in his hands would probably be greatly exceeded.

Half of the world, right? If Li Chuang could own half of the world's population and goods, learn from the lessons of the Jiashen year, and work hard for several years, he might not be able to dominate the world.

Your Majesty, think about it, if Li Chuang unified the world, wouldn't Wu Sangui's work be in vain? Will Wu Sangui's profession still have a chance to survive?"

"Definitely not!" Kangxi gritted his teeth and said, "If Wu Sangui hadn't been so angry that he opened the Shanhaiguan Pass to lure Dorgon's army in and caught Li Zicheng by surprise, Li Zicheng might have been emperor for more than twenty years.

Oh! How could Li Zicheng not avenge this?"

Having said this, Kangxi suddenly felt his eyes light up!

There should be a good fight between Wu Sangui and Li Zicheng. The Three Kingdoms War would be interesting!

Thinking of the "Three Kingdoms", he smiled coldly and said: "It seems that the one who is most afraid of Li Zicheng taking Jiangnan now is not us, but Wu Sangui! Speaking of which, Wu Sangui will really tie down Li Zicheng, a veteran rebel, for us!"

"Your Majesty," Chen Tingjing said, "Although Wu Sangui will trip up Li Zicheng for us, we can't just wait for Wu Sangui to take action. After all, Wu Sangui is far away in Hanzhong now. If he fails to take action, Jiangnan has fallen into Li Zicheng's hands, and there will be big trouble.

Already."

"Yes, yes" Kangxi said, "I still have to send generals who can fight and dare to fight against Li Zicheng! Master Chen, what suggestions do you have in this regard?"

"Your Majesty," Chen Tingjing said, "I don't know who has the ability to defend Jiangdong. But I know that the imperial court should not waste its troops on territory that it will inevitably be unable to defend and there is no need to defend it! The imperial court's military strength now

It’s not enough, we can’t waste it anymore.”

"You mean" Kangxi frowned, "I want to give up Wuchang?"

"The Wuchang Prefecture must give up!" Chen Tingjing said, "According to the report from Zhang Chaozhen, the governor of Hubei who just returned to Wuchang, there are only one thousand of his pacesetters and 1,500 of the Hubei admiral's overseers left in Wuchang City. There are only two thousand and five hundred in total.

Hundreds of people, and the people are in panic, they will have no fighting spirit, and the soldiers will have no fighting spirit. Once Li Zicheng's army arrives, I am afraid that it will collapse immediately. It is better to let Zhang Chaozhen take these 2,500 people to withdraw to Jiujiang Prefecture, and Wuchang, Huangzhou,

All three palaces in Hanyang were given to Li Zicheng. Only if Li Zicheng gets these three palaces would Wu Sangui feel in danger!"

Kangxi nodded slightly and seemed to agree with Chen Tingjing's suggestion. Wuchang, Huangzhou, and Hanyang could not be defended by two to three thousand troops. But he still did not let go.

Three mansions!

Do you just give up when you say you give up?

Chen Tingjing continued: "In addition, I feel that there is no need to defend Changsha anymore."

"Aren't you going to defend Changsha as well?" Kangxi frowned, "There are still Shi Huashan's tens of thousands of new troops in Changsha, and there are thousands of Hunan Green Camp troops, so why should we give up?"

"Your Majesty, the more than 10,000 new Green Battalion troops that Prince Consort Shi E had in Changsha were only surrounded and annihilated by Wu Guogui. It would be better for him and Governor Lu Zhen to lead the new Green Battalion troops and the Hunan Green Battalion that retreated to Changsha and then take a step back.

, withdrew to Jiangxi. With the troops withdrawn from Hunan and Hubei, Jiangxi can be defended. As long as Jiangxi, Jiangnan, and Jiangbei can be defended, they will naturally be safe.

Moreover, if Wu Guogui doesn't capture Changsha, he can't go north to Yuezhou to hold back Li Zicheng! If we hold Jingzhou in the north and can't evacuate, and hold Changsha in the south and are reluctant to evacuate, doesn't it mean that we are using our troops to cover it?

Did Li Zicheng go to Jiangnan?"

It seems to make sense!

Kangxi thought about it carefully, but still couldn't bear it.

Kangxi asked again: "If Jiangxi relies on Shi Huashan and Zhang Chaozhen, can Lu Zhen bring less than 20,000 people, plus the local green camp troops, be able to hold it? Who can command the overall situation in the southeast?"

"Your Majesty," University Scholar Suo'etu took the question and said, "I think it is difficult to protect Jiangxi with the help of Prince Consort Shi, Zhang Chaozhen, and Lu Zhen. After all, Jiangxi's gains and losses are not in the city, but in the Yangtze River.

.And water battles along the river require water battles, and water battles rely on the navy. Most of the 20,000 people are from the land army. Therefore, the slaves suggested that the elite naval forces from the two rivers and three provinces be mobilized to form the Yangtze River Navy, and Shi Lang, the former Fujian Navy Admiral, be appointed as the Yangtze River Navy.

Admiral."

"You're right," Kangxi nodded, "To protect Jiangdong, we must rely on the navy. I sent Shi Lang to Beijing just because I wanted him to lead the Yangtze River navy. But in the past two years, the Dajuan Island has been quiet.

Just forgot about it.”

Of course, Zheng Jing on Damuan Island has stopped. Through Chen Yonghua and Zhu Tiangui, his business can extend from Guangdong to the Korean Peninsula. Why not make a little more money in a few years to make a comeback?

Kangxi said: "Just recruit Shi Lang. I will appoint him as the admiral of the Yangtze River Navy in person!"

Suo'etu let out a breath, and now he could finally explain to Shi Lang that Shi Lang had joined King Yu Fuquan after arriving in Beijing, and got very close to Yang Qilong. He made a lot of money from the sea trade at Tianjin Pass, so he

I have paid a large amount of tribute to Suo Etu, and I want to buy a navy admiral to work for him!

Suo'etu then added: "As for the general manager of the two rivers and three provinces in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, I recommend Prince Kang Jieshu."

Jieshu was another young prince who was close to Kangxi!

If before the three princes Yue Le, Leerjin, and Ezha did bad things, Kangxi would definitely agree to this candidate without hesitation. But now, it seems that there is no better candidate.

Thinking of this, Kangxi sighed: "Then let's deploy a few more battle-hardened veterans to assist Jieshu. It doesn't matter even if they are part of Obai's party, since Jieshu is in charge of the military anyway!"

"Your Majesty," University Scholar Jin Batai said, "This slave recommends Mu Zhan, deputy commander of the Manchuria of Zhenghuang Banner, and Axixi, the former governor of Shaanxi, to assist Prince Kang."

Kangxi nodded: "Okay, let them assist Jieshu!"

After Emperor Kangxi had finished speaking, it was naturally time to draw up the decree, but the two Hanlin bachelors did not move and were still lying there.

"Master Chen, Xiong Cilu, you guys, do you have anything else to ask?" Kangxi looked at the two Hanlin officials and asked.

"Your Majesty," Chen Jingting asked in a low voice, "are you going to give up Wuchang and Changsha?"

"Your Majesty," Xiong Cilu added, "there are also territories such as Huangzhou Prefecture, Hanyang Prefecture, De'an Prefecture, Anlu Prefecture, Jingmen Prefecture, Hengzhou Prefecture, Chenzhou, and Guiyang Prefecture."

A lot of territory has to be given up!

Kangxi sighed: "Hanyang County and Jiangxia County can be given up first. Hubei's governor's Yamen, admiral's Yamen, chief envoy's Yamen, press envoy's Si'yamen, Xuedao's Yamen, etc., can be evacuated to Huangzhou first, and then make decisions based on the situation."

.As for the territory of Hanyang Prefecture except Hanyang County, Anlu Prefecture and Jingmen Prefecture, it will be decided by Jingzhou Camp.

As for Hunan’s territory, those yamen in Hunan Province will go to Chenzhou first!

Then give the order to Wang Fuchen and Shang Zhixin that any territory in Hunan that they can recover and defend will be under their control!

Let them stop fighting in Guangdong and come to Hunan to help me defeat Wu Sangui!

In addition, I also gave an order to Geng Jingzhong and Fan Chengmo, telling them to immediately mobilize and recruit 10,000 Fujian soldiers and send them to Jiangxi to follow Jieshu's command!"

On the tenth day of March in the 28th year of Dashun Yongchang, on the Wuchang section of the Yangtze River, a fleet of countless "temporary warships" almost covered the entire river surface, all of which had sails with the word "Fengtian" written on them.

, mighty and mighty, taking advantage of the southwest wind that just blew yesterday, sailing towards the hopeful city of Wuchang!

Riding on these sailing ships were not only the "Fifth Battalion of Soldiers" under Li Zicheng, but how many people did his "Fifth Battalion of Soldiers" have? Even after Ezha's defeat, another wave of troops was expanded, but the total strength was only 23,000.

If you are in your early 1000s, you won’t be able to use so many boats.

And this time, the number of people who followed Li Zicheng from Lizhou, Changde, and Jingnan was as high as 70,000 to 80,000! In addition to the camp soldiers, there were also the family members of the camp soldiers—these camp soldiers and family members were all in Lizhou, Changde, and Jingnan.

When the land was divided in the south, the rent was only collected once and then it had to be transferred.

Fortunately, the Fengtian Army is in a good situation right now. It can capture Wuchang and Hanyang Prefecture in a blink of an eye. It also has the Yuezhou Prefecture and does not need to give it up for the time being. There is plenty of land that can be distributed. Therefore, no one in the Fengtian Army is unwilling. In fact, everyone also

They don’t care much about the land in Wuchang and Hanyang. What everyone really wants is the land around Beijing!

Li Zichen himself was sitting on a large boat with a total of two thousand materials. He was still wearing the iconic white hat and green robe and a red cloak. There was a big man standing behind him, holding a hand with an embroidered "

Red flag with the word "Chuang".

This banner with the word "Chuang" has disappeared for more than 20 years, and today it can finally see the light of day again!

And its appearance also means that Li Zicheng has "come ashore". Just yesterday, Li Laishun and Liu Yihu, who marched overland, sent people to report back. The Qing troops in Jiangxia and Hanyang had fled, and the two big cities were still

The gentry and common people in the nearby Hanyang town are now learning to sing "Welcome the King of Chuang"!

Li Zicheng was extremely emotional when he thought that he would soon be able to return to Wuchang City, where he was loyal to King Chuang!

More than 20 years ago, when he ran away from Wuchang City, it was as embarrassing as it was, and as miserable as it was. At that time, everyone in the Dashun Army was pessimistic and desperate, and no one could accept the great disaster.

The reality that Shun Chao fell from the clouds in such a short period of time.

And he, Li Zicheng, was completely desperate for his future at that time. He even lost the confidence to continue fighting under the banner of Chuangwang. All he thought about all day long was to find a place to hide. He didn't expect that he would hide for more than 20 years.
