Lord of Ming Dynasty

The Third Guards Brigade was transferred to Hangzhou Prefecture.

These adjustments will take some time. At present, Zhang Qiang can only reorganize the garrison regiment of Nanchang Mansion, recall the retired veterans in the militia, issue them matchlock guns, and form a new field brigade, No. 20 Fourth Field Brigade, The brigade commander of the field brigade was still promoted from his own bodyguards, and the captain of a bodyguard team named Qin Mo became the brigade commander of the field brigade, and was appointed as a general.

Move with your own guard brigade, they are mainly infantry units, half of the cold weapon units, four thousand arquebus units, and one thousand cavalry units.

Temporarily stationed in Jiujiang Mansion, wait for the No.20 Third Field Brigade to arrive, and then go to the front line.

At the same time, another cavalry brigade was drawn from the front line defense of the Nanming Army in Guangzhou Mansion to strengthen the guards of Changsha Mansion.

When Xiao Fei explained the battle during the day to Zhang Qiang, Zhang Qiang had already considered all these, and issued an order, ordering to go on the road for about a week, and the troops would have to go on the road for three days to more than half a month. One month, after all, the distance is long and the territory is large.

While Zhang Qiang was nervously dispatching, Obai was also frowning in the county seat. Although he had expected the strength of the Huaxia Army, he did not expect that after the [-] to [-] cannon fodder troops were exhausted, he could not find a large army of the Qing Army headquarters. With the slightest chance to complete the final blow, it severely damaged the Huaxia Army.

The six to one, or even seven to one exchange of troops made Oboi's flesh hurt, even if it was cannon fodder, he also felt flesh pain. This is the reliance of his troops. Without this shell, how much will the strength of his banner be lost? He is not fighting with a faction group of the Huaxia Army, he also has to take into account that if his own strength is too much lost, his status in the Qing Dynasty, even if Shunzhi is in power, if he does not have an army, then his status will be very low. It's about to hit rock bottom.

This is the case in the Qing Dynasty, where strength is the most important thing.

If I hadn't run fast today, the more than 1 Huaxia Army cavalry behind me would in turn tear up my own Qing Army troops.

He also felt a little embarrassed about being wiped out by the Huaxia Army of Hong Chengchou's new army that he had seconded. If Hong Chengchou doesn't deal with him, I'm afraid he will play him in the book, which is not easy to deal with.

"My lord, my lord," just when Oboi was annoyed, worried, and at a loss what to do, a soldier ran in, looking flustered and embarrassed.

"Why are you making so much noise, come on, drag it down and whip me until I lose my temper." Oboi was furious, slapped the table, kicked away the spittoon beside him, and shouted loudly.

"My lord, my lord, the slave has been wronged, Guilin, Guilin Mansion urgently reports."

"What urgent report from the Guilin Mansion?" It has been a long time since I received any news from the Guilin Mansion. The people he sent were unable to break through the defense lines of the Huaxia Army and the Nanming Army, and were repeatedly defeated. None of the people he sent before has returned. , did they come back?

"Let him go, let him in." Aobai changed his mind.

"My lord, the Guilin mansion was occupied by the Nanming army, Kong Youde's family committed suicide, Mangguertai was captured, Jierhalang committed suicide and died for the country, our army was wiped out, the Yongli Ming army returned with a great victory, Li Dingguo's troops withdrew to Yunnan Prefecture, Our Qing Dynasty lost Guangxi Prefecture, and Nanming State occupied most of Guangxi Prefecture and half of Guangdong Prefecture. The Nanming Army marched into Yunnan-Guizhou and occupied seven or eight counties. Most of Yunnan-Guizhou was occupied by Li Dingguo, and most of our army retreated to Sishan Prefecture and Shaanxi-Gansu Prefecture , the southwest fell into the hands of Daming."

Aobai fell down on the grand teacher's chair and was speechless for a long time. Although Huguang still has half of it now, it depends on the situation that the Huaxia Army is strong, and he can't fight here. What should I do?

"My lord, it's better to retreat. The slaves think that the Huaxia Army is backed by the Guangxi Prefecture of the Southern Ming Kingdom, and behind it is the territory on the south bank of the Yangtze River in Anhui Prefecture, and the entire Jiangxi Prefecture. It can be said that the south has been completely owned by the remnants of the Ming Dynasty. I have insufficient troops in the Qing Dynasty. Back to the side of the Yangtze River, wait until the next day to gather troops and then plot the south. It is not a bad idea to rule across the river from the remnants of the Ming Dynasty. The north has always conquered the rich south, and the southerners are weak. After a few years of development, they will exile themselves. At that time, the soldiers will be strong and the horses will be strong, and we will go south to destroy Nanming in one fell swoop." A staff member who seemed to have a bit of a sense of demeanor spoke cautiously to Oboi.

Ao Bai said with some lack of confidence: "I still have more than 4 warriors from the headquarters. During the rest time, I will regroup the more than 1 remnants. In the next day, there will be another [-] troops. I will ask the court for more troops from the rear. Maybe it will be okay." A battle."

The staff said eagerly: "My lord, you can't, you can't, Mangur Taigu Shan Ezhen and Dingnan King Kong Youde have learned from the past. They are powerful, but in the end they were maimed by the firearms troops of the Nanming Army, and then retreated to the isolated city. There is nothing left, but Li Dingguo first swept the surrounding areas, and then besieged the isolated city with heavy troops. How similar our current situation is to that time, be careful that the back road will be cut off, and our army will not be able to retreat to Hubei Province, that would be bad."

Hearing what he said, Aobai stood up abruptly, glanced at him, walked around the hall a few times, and shouted: "Come here, retreat overnight."

Obai left more than 1 remnants and wounded overnight, and set off to retreat to Hubei Province.

The scout cavalry of the Huaxia Army monitoring them quickly reported back the news. Brother Zhu discussed with Mei Linyu, and while urgently reporting to Xiao Fei in Changsha Mansion, they sent troops to surround the county town and attack the city overnight.

At the same time, more than 1 cavalry from two super field brigades were sent to pursue overnight.

By the time Xiao Fei got the news, it was already dawn.

Back on the battlefield, the county seat occupied by the Qing army has been conquered. At the last moment, the green battalion and civilian husbands, the young and strong remaining Han soldiers opened the city gate anyway, allowing the Huaxia army to conquer the county seat a few hours earlier.

After capturing 1000 remnants and more than [-] wounded, the militiamen and a battalion of soldiers were left on guard. Xiao Fei led a large group of troops and set out to pursue them. It was already the afternoon of the next day.

Knowing the news, Zhang Qiang immediately led the remaining cavalry and musketeers from the First Guards Brigade, along with the Artillery Brigade, and two thousand militiamen quickly pursued Xiao Fei's troops.

You can't let Aobai escape.

The Seventh Field Brigade also went on the road, bringing militia troops and a large pile of luggage, ammunition, artillery, and quickly pursued them. At the same time, they also left a battalion of soldiers and horses to protect the Huaxia Army officials sent from Nanchang Mansion to take over the place. Considering the enemy's counterattack, they did not send officials to take up their duties. The officials prepared for Huguang stayed in Nanchang Mansion and waited for the end of the war. This time Zhang Qiang asked them to follow the Seventh Field Brigade to clean up the broken Huguang. From now on, this will be the Huaxia Army of the site.

It is truly occupied here.

Chapter 457 Meeting Obai 9

The Huaxia army pursued, and Oboi fled. Zhang Qiang followed closely behind with the first guard brigade.

He also got a more detailed report from the Guilin Mansion. He had expected Kong Youde’s suicide. He did this in history. Li Dingguo was his nemesis. What kind of Gege in the play, I don’t know if she will be as beautiful as the one written in the book in history, if she can be caught.

Forget it, Zhang Qiang shook his head, so what?

I am not born with women, and I don’t deal with women. The other traversers have a large harem, either high-end watches, high-end courtesans, or those beautiful emperor’s harems and daughters of ministers in history, and I am lucky to have come into contact with one , but he had conflicts with himself. Although he was old and not young, he was really a kid who came out of kindergarten and knew nothing about women.

Finding a woman is a big trouble for a hegemony.

Oboi's escape was also a big trouble for Hong Chengchou, but Oboi rushed five hundred miles, and on the fifth day he ran away and killed more than a dozen horses. When the news was sent to Hong Chengchou, Hong Chengchou was so scared that he couldn't speak for a long time. Come.

The 10,000+ army is gone again, why is the Huaxia army so evil.

What is even more painful is that the news of Guilin Mansion also arrived at Yangzhou Mansion with Oboi's messenger. Hong Chengchou's pain, if he had known earlier, he should not have sent so many soldiers to Guilin Mansion. Oboi should not be allowed to go to Huguang. I am guarding the defense line of the Yangtze River. After all, it is an army of millions. Deploy troops and generals in the rear, and use the heap of human lives to attack the powerless Huaxia army.

Maybe the Qing army can join the Huaxia army and the Nanming army to rule the river. Now there are only 23 Qing troops in hand, and Hong Chengchou, who has 10,000+ Qing troops, is dumbfounded. Today's troops need not attack the Huaxia army, but defend the Huaxia army. Disaster.

The Huaxia Army has 23 field brigades. According to his continuous investigation, one field brigade originally had [-] troops, and the cavalry brigade had [-] troops, but there were only three cavalry brigades.

On his side, there are 1 Qing troops in a town. There were originally 26 towns. Now one is transferred here, two are transferred there, and four are transferred from the capital. It is getting longer and longer, the equipment is getting better and better, the training is getting better and better, and the combat effectiveness is improving rapidly. In addition, there are still 10,000+ Qing troops, and there are hundreds of thousands of green battalions in succession. Having a mobile force can support other places, allowing you to plan to attack the Huaxia Army.

But now he realizes that he has unknowingly weakened his own strength. Judging from the several battles he personally participated in with the Huaxia Army, even if the Qing Army has these towns, it cannot guarantee victory against the Huaxia Army. He still relies on the 10,000+ elite Qing army. Now, the 10,000+ elite Qing army has been dismantled and sent to various places. In the end, even the [-] Qing army plus Obai's [-] Qing army were sent away. The Huaxia Army no longer has the confidence to fight another battle.

He was hesitating, and Feng Quan, who had rushed back, also looked dead. He didn't know how to win this war, how to explain to the court, and the line of defense that had been operating for a year and a half seemed to be in jeopardy.

After a while, Feng Quan raised his head, his eyes were sharp, and he cupped his hands and said, "Your Excellency, don't worry, think about how the Huaxia Army guarded us under the city of Raozhou Prefecture, so we will guard against the Huaxia Army. Judging from several battles of the army, they are not good at using cannon fodder troops to attack the enemy. They must go to battle in person. Their army is generally smaller than ours. We can have countless soldiers for them to kill and capture. They have nothing to do with us."

"so what?"

Hong Chengchou asked coldly, staring at Feng Quan and said: "As the Qing Dynasty gradually cleared away the remnants of the Ming Dynasty, there are fewer and fewer survivors of the Ming Dynasty. Now the north is stable and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Many people are rushing to take the imperial examinations of the Qing Dynasty. Recognizing the Qing Dynasty as the country, the possibility of us sending cannon fodder to battle in the future is getting smaller and smaller. The court will also worry about the safety of the people and its own reputation. There are millions of people, and the rest are all Han Chinese who became Manchus after raising the flag. If they don’t care about their own reputation, there will soon be an endless stream of rebels on the large land north of the Yangtze River. By then, the Qing Dynasty will not be destroyed Far."

Speaking of this, he put his hands behind his back and sighed, "We have surrendered to the Manchus for too long, and have long been regarded as traitors by the Han people. Do you think it is possible for us to get off the boat of the Manchus and join the imperial court established by the Hans?" ? It would be nice if they didn't take our heads to pay homage to our ancestors."

"Then what to do, it seems that the Huaxia Army can at least achieve the goal of drawing the river and ruling the Qing Dynasty. They captured Huzhou and Guangzhou, so we have exposed a loophole on the Yangtze River. Huguang hit Hubei directly, and our backs were exposed, and it was impossible to send troops, and our troops here are not enough."

Hong Chengchou lamented, "Let's do everything according to the destiny, Huguang is not so easy to win, where we have already established some foundation, send people to incite those officials who are loyal to the Qing Dynasty, to make trouble, to fight , Let the Huaxia Army fall into the vast ocean of the people of our Qing Dynasty, hasn't Guangxi Prefecture been managed by Kong Youde for a long time?

Also send someone to contact them to avenge Kong Youde and serve the Qing Dynasty. Nanming Kingdom, as an ally supported by the Huaxia Army, cannot make them feel better. This can restrain a lot of energy of the Huaxia Army. The places occupied by the army organized regiment training and village bravery, and sent some soldiers of the Han army banner to lead the army, let them fight city by city, and Oboi, let him take his soldiers and horses to entangle with the Huaxia army in Huguang , How much can delay some time, give us more time to deploy troops to guard against the Huaxia Army. "

Feng Quan laughed, "My lord, you have not forgotten. What I want to remind you just now is that the Huaxia Army's plan to restrain our army's hundreds of thousands of troops under the Raozhou Mansion, now we can also do it according to the law. Maybe the effect is not as good as that of the Huaxia Army, but in this way, the Huaxia Army will also have a headache, and it will not be enough to fight one city after another in this way, even if you give him another ten years."

Hong Chengchou slapped his head, "That's right, this is also the original intention of the old man to establish the Yangtze River defense line the year before last. Why did you forget this? Mr. Feng reminded you right, we run Anhui, Suzhou, and Hubei like iron barrels, and the Huaxia Army arrived Here, a city is definitely needed. Although the loss of a city must be huge, the Huaxia Army is not strong, it does not have unlimited ammunition and troops, and their strength is not even 50. The next place needs to be defended , There will not be so many troops in the next place, and when the time comes, the more we fight, the less we will definitely not have the advantage of our army..."

"Yes, let's do it like this. Although the method is a bit stupid, it is also a good way."

Chapter 58 Meeting Obai 10

Hong Chengchou and Feng Quan, who were going to use the Qing army's Maginot line to contain the Huaxia army, were still discussing fiercely, and the more they discussed, the more excited they became.

Although Aobai is a relative of the Qing army, he is only a general of one side, unlike Hong Chengchou, who strategizes and directs the battle, he came to the front line in person, and now he is still desperately fleeing for his life.

I thought they had escaped the battle of the Huaxia Army. They fled fifty miles on the first day and seventy miles on the second day, but the Huaxia Army found them in the middle of the night, and the scouts chased them. Knowing that they had really escaped in the morning, they started discussing and started chasing them in the afternoon. This is not the infantry that is chasing, the infantry is behind.
