Is this someone calling for a warning?
Liu Xuanchu also suspected that there was something wrong with his ears, so he hurriedly turned his head to look at Wu Guogui, only to realize that Wu Guogui had already walked out of the house quickly.Now that he knew something was wrong, he quickly followed him out.
Wu Guogui's residence is located near the north gate of Zhuxian Town, and the gate tower of the north gate of Zhuxian Town is particularly tall, which is the commanding height of the whole town.The alarm gong sounded from the gate tower of the North Gate!
Father and son Wu Yingqi and Wu Shicong also came over. Both of them were neatly dressed and brought along their own soldiers. They were obviously patrolling the camp and rushed over when they heard the sound of the gong.
Wu Yingqi, father and son, Wu Guogui, and Liu Xuanchu didn't greet each other after they met, they just waited for the north gate tower of Zhuxian Town together.
After going upstairs, the four of them raised their eyes and were shocked by the scene in front of them.
I only saw in the night in the north, countless torches appeared at some point. These torches covered a large plain and were still slowly moving south. It seemed that tens of thousands of troops were approaching Zhu in the night. Fairy town!
Liu Xuanchu took a breath, "I'm afraid there are tens of thousands of people!"
"It's 10,000+ people!" Wu Yingqi corrected, "There are also people in the east and west...there are also people in the south!"
Only then did Liu Xuanchu look left and right, and then turned around to look back.
Sure enough, countless torches appeared in all four directions!
"Wang Fuchen, it's Wang Fuchen who tricked us!" Wang Shirong's voice also rang out, and he also went up to the gate tower at some point, jumping and scolding Wang Fuchen!
But Wu Yingqi was quite calm. After watching for a while, he turned his head and said to his son Wu Shicong, "I'm tired of my father, I'm going to rest... You are young, so you have to bear it for the first half of the night, and let your third uncle take care of you in the second half of the night. "
Then he said to Wu Guogui: "Third brother, you should hurry up and rest... I will take over Shicong again at Zishi."
"Second brother," Wu Guogui hesitated, "How about Ma Sanbao (Ma Bao) and I lead the cavalry to fight out, and charge forward a few times to defeat the spirit of the Qing prisoners!"
Wu Yingqi yawned, and then snorted: "What vigor do they have? But we're all exhausted, and now the most important thing is to recharge our energy... How to deal with these prisoners, we'll talk about it tomorrow morning!"
……
"Will the one surnamed Wu attack?"
At this moment, on the great plain north of Zhuxian Town, Tu Hai, who was ordered to act as Yue Le's deputy in the battle of Zhuxian Town, is staring at the flickering flames on the top of Zhuxian Town in the distance, talking to himself ask questions.
"Who knows?" Yue Le shook his head and said with a smile, "but I bet he won't! He's a little tired now, but he doesn't have a lot of food and grass, and there's still Zhuxian Town to rely on, so he's not in a hurry. Why? Want to risk a decisive battle at night? Wouldn't it be better to wait for a few days and wait for the soldiers to restore the strength of their horses?
And he can't guess that we will use the trick of surrounding him to deal with him, let alone that we can use shield vehicles, sacks, ditches, and repelling horses...in one night, we will take four vehicles to trap him Array! "
It turned out that Yue Le's way of dealing with Wu Yingqi was to lure the enemy into a deep encirclement with chariots, and then to encircle without fighting, and finally force Wu Yingqi to take the initiative to attack the Qing army's chariots...
Tu Hai is still a bit unconfident - he has already jumped the river twice, and his confidence has long since disappeared!
So he frowned and said to Yue Le: "Even if there are four car formations surrounding Wu Yingqi, he might not be able to stop him, right? He only needs to break one of the car formations to retreat back to Xuzhou."
Yue Le laughed loudly: "Wu Yingqi's withdrawal to Xuzhou means that the Northern Expedition was frustrated, and his Northern Expedition was frustrated... Can't we make peace with Wu Sangui?
And if we negotiated a peace with Wu Sangui, wouldn't it be possible to achieve a third of the power in the world?And what my Qing Dynasty occupies is the land of Cao Wei in the past!Moreover, the land of my Qing Dynasty is even wider than that of Cao Wei in the past... My Qing Dynasty has thousands of miles of fertile fields in the northeast and Mongolia. As long as we work hard and work hard for 20 years, are we afraid that we will not be able to swallow Wu and destroy Zhu? "
"Tall!" Tuhai provoked Thumbs up, "My lord, you are so tall! You are indeed my Qing Dynasty's white jade pillar and purple golden beam!"
……
Ningbo, Zhenhai, Zhaobaoshan.
On the newly established Zhaobaoshan Military Port Wharf of the Daming Dongyang Navy, this night, the security is heavily guarded.In the light from the torches and lanterns, neat soldiers of the Ming army were boarding the ship silently.
The number of these Ming troops does not seem to be large, that is, three to four thousand people, and what they are going to board is not the Great Eastern class that specializes in going to the sea, but a large sea sand ship that sails along the coast, and the number is not many , there are only thirty of them, all of which are all made of sea sand, with solid hulls and cannons installed on the bow.The stern of each big sand drags a tugboat.
Most of the soldiers of the Ming army had already boarded the ship, but there were still some "Zhan Renru" who looked particularly mighty and tall, carrying long swords and empty hammers, and were following behind two burly men in yellow clothes and yellow scarves.
These two big men in yellow were pacing along the pier, talking softly as they walked.
Needless to say, these two are, of course, the Ming King Zhu Heqi and the Heavenly King Zhu Cijiong of the Great Ming Dynasty. The title of the King Ming sounds a bit like the head of the Red Scarf Army at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and the King of Heaven sounds a bit like the second son of the imperial family. .
However, Zhu Heqi felt that these two honorary titles were quite distinctive, so he asked the council to persuade him to call himself King Ming. After Zhu Heyi accepted the honorary title of King Ming, he respected his father Zhu Cijiong as the Supreme Heavenly King.
Now the new Daming can be regarded as a double king!
Chapter 444 Opening up the second battlefield against the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty!
"Daddy, I, my son, should have gone north to start a new battlefield this time. But there are too many and complicated things in the south. I really can't leave. I can only trouble you, old man..."
"Old man? I'm not old for my father. My father is only over 40. How old is he? But I know that I can't manage your mess. Now you have to manage the court and military training and war at the same time. You have to devote your energy to studying, but you have to manage the imperial merchants, oh, and you have to weave and embroider..."
"Father!" Zhu Heqi heard the old man say that he can embroider, so he glanced at the joking father angrily, "How can I have embroidery? My son is printing, printing on white cloth!"
He recently got some water-soluble sulfur black, so he tried to print a flower on white cloth to see if this sulfur black would work?This sulfur dye is not easy to obtain, and it is not his old business in his previous life, so it will take trial and error.
And when the news of "Prince Ming Printing" reached Tianwang Mansion, somehow it became "Prince Ming Embroidery"...
Zhu Tianwang smiled faintly: "Printing and embroidery are all the same, as long as the country can be governed well and the soldiers trained well, you can play however you like... Third, Wu Sangui's Northern Expedition is probably for real! One hundred thousand troops! If Let him win Beijing, and our family's situation will be gone!"
There were originally two elder brothers above Zhu Heqi who had died young, so Zhu Tianwang sometimes called him "Lao San" or "San Lang".
"Wu Sangui probably won't be able to win Beijing... If he can personally lead the soldiers, he may be able to win, but now Wu Yingqi is leading the soldiers, I think it's pretty good.
After all, some people in Wu Zhou Kingdom didn't want Wu Yingqi to get this great achievement of rebuilding the world!Moreover, Wu Zhou's national strength and military strength are still weak compared to Qing Yao.In the beginning, the weak bullied the strong, and there were brothers fighting against each other in the middle school, and Wu Sangui was old. "
"Wu Sangui's successor is indeed a problem...then Wu Yingxiong might as well die in Beijing!"
"It's useless to die!" Zhu Heqi sneered, "This Wu Sangui has no successor...Wu Yingqi's intelligence is also limited, and Wu Shicong is a little stronger, but he is a grandson, so it is impossible to skip Wu Yingqi and ascend the throne.
Moreover, Wu Sangui himself is not a hero against the sky, but a hero with limited vision. "
Zhu Heqi paused, and said to Zhu Tianwang, who also had limited vision and limited intelligence: "Father, Yang Qilong spent a lot of money on Chahar's Burni... Maybe he can steal the city of Beijing." !
If Burni succeeds in Beijing, then you should go to Tianjin to land, play the banner of the third prince Zhu, and then negotiate with Burni, even if you make him a Mongolian Khan and give him a million years old gift last year, you will find a way to get Beijing Get it.
If Burni loses his hand in Beijing, then you will go to Lushunkou in Liaodong and land... We will open up a second battlefield against the Qing and Ming Dynasty, and then slowly fight from Liaodong to Liaoxi, and then to Shanhaiguan! "
This idea of opening up the second battlefield in Liaodong against the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty is actually quite in line with the national conditions of the new Ming Dynasty.
The new Ming Dynasty has a powerful navy but weak cavalry!
The navy of the new Ming Dynasty is "invincible in riding and shooting", and it is already the world's leading existence!Even if the HMS Sovereign of the British Royal Navy came to the coast of China and encountered a bunch of outriders, it would not end well.
But Xin Daming's cavalry is really weak, and the number of cavalry is three thousand... The reason for this is because Zhu and Qi don't have enough big mares in their hands!
The war horses in his hands are mainly captured, and the captured war horses are either geldings or stallions, and there are almost no mares.
Without a mare, of course there is no way to give birth to a foal...Zhu and Qi don't have the golden finger to let the stallion give birth!
Although it is not difficult to get some short-footed mares from Yunnan on his site, anyone who has raised horses knows that it is very dangerous for a small marre to mate with a big stallion, and if not done, it will be pregnant with a big one. Fetal horse, so it is easy to dystocia.
Therefore, when horses are matched with breeds, they generally have to try their best to choose big mares.
Therefore, it is impossible for Zhu and Qi to build a strong cavalry in the south of the Yangtze River... He can buy some high-quality stallions, and in fact he has some Lusitano stallions in his hands.
But he didn't have a sufficient number of large mares, so he couldn't expand the thoroughbred herd quickly.
And opening up the second battlefield in Liaodong is a good way to get Malaysia!
"Qingyao built a Dalinghe ranch near Jinzhou in western Liaoning," Zhu Heqi said to Zhu Tianwang again, "If possible, go and steal one... If you can't steal it, spend money to buy it, and buy a big one mare!"
"I know, I know," Zhu Tianwang smiled, "to steal! To rob! To cheat! To smuggle... It's all for my father's old job! I am better than you in doing these things!
Lushun in Liaodong, Dagu in Tianjin, and the coast of Shandong, who can steal, rob, or cheat, your father and king will never let it go!Your father and I will definitely make Kang Mazi's scalp tingle when he hears the name of Third Prince Zhu! "
Holding the sword, Zhu Heqian looked at Zhu Tianwang, and finally looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Okay, father, from now on, we will be in the south and the north, and together we will kill Kang Mazi's Qing demon court!"
……
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...it's done, it's done!"
The Kaifeng Mansion is in the South Study Room. Kang Mazi, who was immersed in reading the memorial, suddenly heard Tu Hai's voice. He immediately put down the memorial in his hand, looked up at the gate of the South Study Room, and saw that he was wearing a blue mandarin jacket, full of dust. Tu Hai was already standing outside the door.
"Come in, come in and talk!"
Kangxi knew that Tu Hai came directly from the battlefield in Zhuxian Town, so he quickly greeted him into the South Study Room.
After Tu Hai came in, he plopped and knelt down to Emperor Kang Mazi, "Your Majesty, it's finished...the four major chariot formations that besieged Zhuxian Town have been completed, and Wu Ni's [-] army has now been surrounded by Prince An's army." Already!"
"Bless the ancestors!" Emperor Kangxi wept with joy when he heard Tu Hai's words, but he then asked, "Can Wu Yingqi be surrounded by four chariots?"
The formation of four cars is not four bastions, it is possible for Wu Yingqi to break them.
Tu Hai shook his head, "I can't be surrounded... But as long as Wu Yingqi doesn't break all four car formations, but thinks about withdrawing to Xuzhou, then we can win a big victory! Prince An still has a few Ten thousand cavalry are enough to crush Wu Yingqi's one hundred thousand army!"
It has to be said that the advantages of the Qing army's cavalry are still very useful on the Central Plains battlefield!
The reason why Yue Le's 15 troops can hide near Zhuxian Town is because his cavalry is strong and can block the scout cavalry sent by Wu Yingqi.
And once Wu Yingqi breaks through the siege, Yue Le's cavalry will be able to chase all the way, making Wu Yingqi unable to keep going!
Kangxi nodded: "Even if I am exhausted from breaking the four-seater car array and unable to go north, I will win..." As he spoke, he patted a memorial on the table, "Prince Gong's book said that Burni's 10,000 The army has already entered the customs! Erdeni, the king of Horqin County, has also summoned tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry and is heading to Shanhaiguan. As long as these two armies arrive in Henan, our army will reach [-]+, enough to force Wu Yingqi back The army forced Wu Sangui to negotiate a peace.
As long as the alliance between Wu and Zhu can be reached, the Qing Dynasty will win! "
It has to be said that Emperor Kangxi's strategy is still very clever. He has now given up the idea of defeating Wu Sangui and Zhu Heqi at the same time, and instead seeks to unite Wu to destroy Zhu.
In his opinion, Wu Sangui and his son, who are slumbering, are not his opponents after all, and Wu Zhou's future is quite limited... This country is just a group of "two, three, four, five, six ministers" who jumped back and forth between the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Yes, it's just an unreliable community of interests.
Maybe once Wu Sangui dies, it will turn from prosperity to decline.
The new Daming founded by Zhu Heqi is different. Although the new Daming still uses the name of Daming, this country and Daming actually have new things, and they also package the matter of conquering the world and seizing the country very sacredly. It hurts to look at it!
Chapter 445 The enemy is in the Forbidden City!
"General, we seem to be...surrounded!"
On the north gate tower of Zhuxian Town, Meimei fell asleep, and Wu Yingqi, who didn't wake up until noon on the [-]th, suddenly got a very bad news - he was surrounded!
Yesterday was fine, the whole journey was like a broken bamboo, and I got [-] people in Zhuxian Town who seemed to be quite strong, and I saw that King Yan of the Great Zhou Dynasty was about to become King... When I was dreaming just now, it seemed that it was difficult to raise an army !Why was he surrounded when he woke up from the dream?
How did this happen?
"General," said Liu Xuanchu. He had been standing on the tower for a long time, observing the enemy's situation. "It seems that the Qing captives want to surround us without fighting! They used carts and soil The sacks have formed four car cities on all sides of us, and we are still digging long trenches, arranging refusal horses... busy all night!"
"General," Wu Zhou's cavalry chief general, Ma Bao, took over the topic, "The Qing captives wanted to force us to attack their chariots... Last night, they were so negligent that they actually gave them a night to build fortifications and dig trenches! Although the trench has not been completed yet, the car ramparts have been completed!"
"It's not that we were negligent," Wu Guogui shook his head with a stern expression, "It's that our cavalry team is not as large as that of clearing captives after all, and the terrain in Henan is also conducive to cavalry.
General, look at the rear of the car formation, one or two miles away, there are all cavalry in that area!There are no less than [-] riders outside the north gate alone, and the same is true outside the other three gates.This time, Qinglu used at least [-] cavalry and even more infantry to surround us... It's not easy to fight! "
Wu Yingqi frowned, he also knew something bad happened!
If it was just the four chariot bases, or if there were only tens of thousands of cavalry, he would be sure to win.Even if the infantry and cavalry of the Qing army lined up to fight together, Wu Yingqi is sure to use 10 people to defeat them.
But the problem now is the car base plus cavalry... The car base is much stronger than the ordinary infantry formation!Moreover, the car base can prevent guns and guns, so it is not easy to chew it off.
And cavalry can move quickly, so they can concentrate quickly.Don't look at the cavalry of the Qing army scattered around Zhuxian Town, but as long as Wu Yingqi concentrates his forces to attack the car forts in one direction, the [-] cavalry can gather for support-these cavalry can dismount from horses and enter the car forts to participate in the battle. Defensive warfare can also be carried out in the formation, and it can also be pursued when the Wu army breaks through the siege.
In other words, if Wu Yingqi could not break through all the four chariot formations outside Zhuxian Town and repel the Qing army, it would be difficult for him to break out and return to Xuzhou!
And even if he broke all the chariot formations... because his cavalry is still smaller than the opponent's, and the infantry will be exhausted from the continuous attack, it is very difficult for him to wipe out the defeated Qing army in one fell swoop, and it is even very difficult. It is difficult to wipe out most of them.
This allowed the Qing army to still have the ability to fight again... At least they could continue to use scorched earth tactics and attack Wu's supply line to deal with Wu Yingqi.
However, Wu Yingqi had to retreat south to get the rations after winning the victory... This back and forth, not to mention the time delay, will also wear down the vigor of the army, and will also make the peace faction inside Wu Zhou stand up!
Thinking of this, Wu Yingqi snorted, and said to the left and right: "The Qing captives came just in time! Let's wipe them all out in Zhuxian Town! As long as we wipe them all out, the world will be ours!
Pass down the order to build shield chariots during the day, then select strong men from the common people, organize them into teams, and let them push the carts at night... The brothers who are not on duty tell them to rest well, have a good dinner, and wait After dark, fight the Qing captives at night! "
Although Wu Yingqi's strategy is not very good, his tactical level is still online.It is obviously the best way to use the shield car to hit the base, and it is also the most beneficial to choose to fight at night.Wu Zhou's army is a victorious soldier with high morale, and there are many veterans. They are more active on the battlefield, and their night fighting ability must be very strong.
Following Wu Yingqi, the generals of the Wu and Zhou Army listened to the commander's order, and immediately regained their spirits, answered loudly, and then turned and left one after another. They went back to their respective troops to prepare for tonight's night battle!
……
Also on this day, a change is brewing around Beijing City!
This is really a rainy day!
In a village called Panggezhuang near the city of Beijing, there was a sudden sound of barking dogs.Along with the dog barking, I saw two people wearing long robes, melon skin hats, carrying swords, and carrying burdens, hurriedly flashing into Zhuangzi.
The two arrived in front of a very old but still very dignified mansion in the center of Zhuangzi, and gently knocked on the door.
After a while, a woman's questioning voice sounded from inside: "Who is it?"
One of the two people outside the door replied: "Mr. Yang asked us to come!"
The door opened with a creak, and a beautiful girl of seventeen or eighteen opened the gate of the yard, looking at the two people outside nervously.
The two men outside the door didn't expect such a beautiful woman to open the door, they were also taken aback, and one of them asked: "Isn't this Widow Pang's house?"
At this moment, Yang Qilong's voice came from inside the door: "Ziyun, don't invite the guests in yet."
It turned out that this woman was Yang Qilong's younger sister, named Yang Ziyun.She and Yang Qilong's parents have long since disappeared, so she was led by Yang Qilong since she was a child.Before Yang Qilong went south, he entrusted her to his old friend, Widow Pang.
"Two, please come inside!"
