Chapter forty-six new plans
The two famous kings of Li Dingguo were the closest to the turnaround in history. If Feng Shuangli and Ma Jinzhong were able to complete the encirclement with Li Dingguo, the Qing army's heavy army group would be absolutely unavoidable if the head commander died. If this army consisted of the Eight Banners of Manchuria and the Eight Banners of Mongolia, which were the core of the Qing Dynasty, was at all unbearable for the Qing Dynasty, which had only 40,000 to 50,000 yuan.
By then, the Qing Dynasty was not only unable to fight again, but also could no longer suppress the Green Camp soldiers who depended on them. It is still unknown who belonged to the world.
However, Feng Shuangli had already received Sun Kewang's secret order and had never appeared on the battlefield. Ma Jinzhong did not dare to go there when he saw this. Li Dingguo, who was alone, was powerless and even gave up Hengzhou Prefecture not long after retreating to Hengyang, missing this great opportunity.
As Huang Zongxi said after the relocation of time: "I caught the Li Ding Kingdom Guilin, Hengzhou, and the two were famous kings. The world was shocked. This was something that the world had been prosperous since Wanli. If you succeed, you will lose everything. Can you expect the meat to be enough to eat! Why did Qu Yuan ask the heavens for writing! "
However, this year, the Ming army's Lian Zhan Lianjie on the southwest battlefield did reverse the offensive and defensive momentum here. Even if Li Dingguo evacuated Hengyang, the Ming army was still in the advantage, while the Qing army could only passively defend.
However, the conflict between Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo is about to be ignited, and Chen Wen is very clear about what this means. However, after killing Chen Jin, he no longer has the pessimistic attitude towards the future because of his understanding of history.
After two years of accumulation, he has the ability to change the situation, even if it is just the southeast battlefield, the range is far less than that of Li Dingguo. However, another plan to turn the tables has emerged in his mind. That is, to invite Li Dingguo to enter Jiangxi east, and then join forces with Li Dingguo and Zheng Chenggong to launch a large army from the Yangtze River, Zhejiang and sea routes to sweep the southeast and recover Nanjing!
The basis of this plan was that Li Dingguo could quickly recover Jiangxi, which was not an easy task. The Qing Dynasty had heavy troops in Nanchang, Jiujiang and Nangan in Jiangxi, and the strength of the Eight Banners Army in Aljin should not be underestimated.
In fact, before and after the Hengyang victory, Li Dingguo sent two generals Zhang Sheng and Gao Bigui, the two generals, at the invitation of the Yunxiaoshan Anti-Qing Rebel Army in western Jiangxi, to jointly attack western Ganxi. In history, these people were wiped out by Jiangxi Admiral Liu Guangbi and Nangan General Hu Yousheng in October and November. However, now, Jiangxi Admiral Liu Guangbi and another Jiangxi mobile unit, Jiujiang General Yang Jie, were all trapped in Quzhou by Chen Wen, while Hu Yousheng still had to stay in southern Ganxi to defend Zheng Chenggong in southern Fujian. Not to mention the suppression of the anti-Qing Rebel Army, if you can defend those strategic areas, you have to chant "Amitabha".
The situation in Jiangxi is now in a corruption and Aljin is already a desperate situation. Chen Wen believes that it is easy to recover Jiangxi with Li Dingguo's ability.
This plan can be said to be a smaller version of the "Three Games of the Celestials", but the area involved is smaller and easier to implement. Out of trust in Li Dingguo's ability, Chen Wen had sent a messenger to Huguang long before the Hengyang victory, and strongly invited Li Dingguo to Jiangxi. It seems that he could deliver the letter to him before Li Dingguo decided to go south to Guangdong. The only thing that made Chen Wen feel worried was that he didn't even have a wife now, and he was not as strong as Zheng Chenggong's family. Li Dingguo had no chance to propose marriage to Chen Wen's "daughter" for his son to reach a more stable alliance with each other.
It was early in the twelfth lunar month, and the news of Li Dingguo's killing of Nikan had not yet reached the occupied area of the Ming army in Zhejiang. However, Chen Wen had thought about it. Once the news came, he would immediately publicize it so that the good news could be better fermented in Zhejiang and thus gain the support of more people from the Ming Dynasty.
After half a month of screening, the men who were interested in joining the army from Jinhua, Quzhou and Chuzhou occupied areas and those who came to join the army from the Qing army occupied areas have entered the expanded recruit camp in batches, and waited for the official training to begin. The officials and officers of various prefectures, counties, and garrisons are also conducting intensive training. According to the progress of the report, these quasi-official officials should not be able to return to their hometowns during the Spring Festival this year. State affairs are as good as that, even Chen Wen has to work overtime at any time, let alone them.
He has successively annexed the territory of several counties. Every minute of this period, his Zhejiang Ming army will grow rapidly. Chen Wen believes that everyone knows that when this group of new recruits is completed and the new war barracks are completed, the war will rise again in southwestern Zhejiang.
However, after Chen Jin was besieged, under the command of Ma Guozhu, the Governor of Jiangnan and Jiangxi, the Qing army temporarily stabilized the front line of Quzhou, but the slow response of Chuzhou still gave the Ming army the opportunity to expand rapidly.
At present, the Qing army was indeed unable to fight again, but Chen Wen always felt that the Qing army in the Southeast was a bit too passive. Just looking at Jiangshan County, it seemed that it was less likely to be the free-to-war sign. It was not like the state that the Qing army in the Southeast, which was still in an absolute advantage in the military strength, should show.
But if the vision is extended to the situation across the country, the decision to give priority to the southwest battlefield and stabilize the southeast battlefield will become the only answer. It seems that this is really the case.
No matter what, no matter whether Li Dingguo would be invited or what the Qing army was thinking, just like Zheng Chenggong, Chen Wen firmly believed that only his own strength was strong enough to deal with all changes, just like he had insisted before.
Driven by the whip, the captives of the Qing army had become coolies wearing green camp clothes. In the earlier group, some of the people who performed well were promoted to supervisors of the new coolies. The first order they received was to use their own experience to explain to the new coolies a truth--work hard, and the Ming army will give you a way out in life; as for not following the rules of the Ming army, there is a dead end!
Driven by the Ming army and the strict supervision of the supervisors, these coolies began to build a series of military facilities in Jinhua, Quzhou and Chuzhou. Among them, the castle in Anhua Town was not only to be repaired, but Chen Wen was determined to transform it into a more complex form to deal with the attacks of the Qing army.
The production of military supplies and military equipment is still in progress. In addition to the local production of these three governments, Chen Wen also attracted some merchants from the Longyou Business Group to come and prepare to negotiate with them.
The master's share system has been established, but the effect is not obvious, because the apprentice's residual rate has not yet continued, so it will take some time to significantly increase the production capacity.
Fortunately, Xu Yi's proposal to recruit locksmiths to make flintlock rifles is indeed effective to a certain extent. However, the recruitment of locksmiths and the military industry department's musket craftsmen have the same problem, that is, the craftsmanship must be to a certain extent, and there is another problem, that is, the locksmiths can only make bolts, but the barrel cannot be built. Fortunately, there has been a standardized foundation before, and the military industry department's musket manufacturing speed has indeed been improved, but it is not as large as expected.
In addition, someone has come to collect the reward for hydraulic machinery, and he has indeed received this reward.
However, Chen Wen was not satisfied with this, because the person who received the reward was a British missionary, and to be precise, he was just an assistant without much scientific knowledge base. As for this wrongdoer, Chen Wen was quite dissatisfied with this guy, who took a few books on European machinery and weapons translated by Sun Yuanhua and others, and got the reward.
