Chapter 84 All-Stars

With the help of a vague understanding of history, Chen Wen watched some threats that would inevitably come. Military orders were issued, and in just a few days, the Ming army of the brigade boarded the warship and drove in the direction pointed by the head coach Jianfeng. However, it was just in these few days that Hong Chengchou also waited for the news he wanted to wait for.

At the battle between the forks of the road, the Ming army suffered a crushing defeat due to the incompetence of the commander, but it was not easy to seize the Qing army in Baoqing Prefecture. The loss of troops was far greater than the Hengyang victory in which only one prince, a first-class man and a cavalry that followed them to pursue.

If it were the Jin people, Mongols, or other barbarians in history, such losses were not enough to stop them, and they would definitely do their best to continue to launch an attack. However, the Qing Dynasty was different. There were only 40,000 to 50,000. The army that fought this time was already the largest Eight Banners brigade they could call out. The other Eight Banners Army had to stay in Beijing and important places such as Xi'an, Jiangning, Hangzhou to shock the Mongolian Alliance Banners in the north and the Green Camp soldiers in the north and southeast. Although the number of soldiers and generals at such a scale was indeed won, the Qing Dynasty was damaged and instead entered a stalemate with the Ming army in the southwest, and was even at a certain disadvantage.

Historically, in order to deal with the threat of the Ming army in the southwest, the Qing Dynasty specially transferred Hong Chengchou to Changsha as the governor of the five southwest provinces. This man used his keen observation of the situation and outstanding talents to finally resist the offensive of the Ming army in the southwest in the following years, and endured the day when the three kings were in conflict.

However, now, due to Chen Wen's momentum in the southeast battlefield and the huge threat posed by Zheng Chenggong, the two Southeast Ming armies, who had achieved better development, the Qing court had appointed Hong Chengchou as the governor of the four Southeast provinces a few months ago, and his opponents have also changed from Sun Kewang to Chen Wen and Zheng Chenggong.

Since the southwest battlefield and the southeast battlefield were both detrimental to the Qing army last year, and the priority of the southwest was higher than that of the southeast, Hong Chengchou, who had already drawn some reinforcements into Jiangxi, had to wait until Tunqi, who was eager to make meritorious contributions, took over the details and results of the next battle in Yongzhou that Li Dingguo gave up, before launching the next stage of heavy army encirclement in the southeast battlefield.

Now, the news of the battle at the fork in the road has come, and at the same time, Hong Chengchou also received another news. So he set off on the day he received the news and headed to Guangxin Mansion day and night.

On March 25, 2018, after several days of hard work, Hong Chengchou, who was already 60 years old, finally arrived at the temporary headquarters of Guangxin Mansion last night. Early this morning, all the generals who sent people to inform him had arrived. Without caring about their fatigue, Hong Chengchou immediately began this military discussion that was related to the war situation in the southeast.

In the big tent of the steward, Hong Chengchou, the governor of the four southeastern provinces, sat upright on the top. After beating the drums and gathering the generals, the generals arrived one after another. After respectfully celebrating Hong Chengchou, they dared to sit down one after another.

In the big tent, in addition to Hong Chengchou, who was sitting in the upper head, the head was Jiangxi Governor Cai Shiying. He was a famous civil official in the Shunzhi Dynasty. After the Jiangxi Governor stepped down, he served as the governor of the grain transportation twice. He controlled the lifeline of the Qing Dynasty for many years and was highly trusted. His son Cai Yurong was an important general in quelling the Three Feudal Rebellion, and his family was one of the eight major families of the Han army banner.

The first of all three admirals, Li Benshen, Liu Guangbi and Yang Minggao.

Li Benshen was the nephew of Gao Jie, one of the four towns in Jiangbei. After Gao Jie died, he took charge of Gao Jie's army as an admiral. After surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, he was soon awarded the title of third-class Jinnichihafan. At that time, he was equal to Liu Zeqing among the four towns in Jiangbei. This time, Hong Chengchou took office as the Southeast Prime Minister and asked Shunzhi for this person and his subordinates, and used him as the admiral of Zuo Town.

Compared with Li Benshen's third-class viscount, although the titles of Jiangxi Admiral Liu Guangbi and Fujian Admiral Yang Minggao were lower, they were actually Han generals who had already started fighting for the Qing Dynasty in Liaodong. One was inlaid with the yellow flag in the Han army, and the other was inlaid with the blue flag in the Han army. Now they are the highest military generals in the province. Compared with the Han generals who had wanted to fight with him in Siming Mountain, who had to be approved to enter the banner a few years later, the Han generals who had been approved to enter the banner in the Han army.

The following three admirals are Yang Jie, the general of Jiujiang, Jiangxi, Hu Maozhen, the general of Huizhou, Jiangnan, Wang Zhigang, the general of left side of Fujian, and Ma Hegong, the general of right side of Fujian.

Yang Jie, the general of Jiujiang, Jiangxi, was the favorite general of Ma Guozhu, the governor of Jiangnan, when he was the governor of Shanxi. His 5,000 troops were from Xuanhua and Datong. He had a strong combat power. Later, he was one of the important military generals to quell the Three Feudal Rebellion and defeated Zheng Jing many times; Hu Laijin, the general of Huizhou, Jiangnan, was a fierce general under Gao Jie and was often regarded as a vanguard; and the two generals on the left and right land of Fujian, Wang Zhigang was the culprit of Shaowu's massacre and the executioner who suppressed the rebel army of Jiangxi's anti-Qing. Ma Degong was the rebel general who used Emperor Hongguang as a controversial example after Huang Degong's death.

All these generals sat in front of the tent, while some of the generals they brought, as well as landlords such as General Guangxin Prefecture and a troop from Henan, could only sit farther away.

However, it was not them closest to Hong Chengchou, nor Cai Shiying, but two personal soldiers standing beside Hong Chengchou, who were responsible for commanding the personal soldiers of the General Administration, one was Zhang Dayuan and the other was *******.

Zhang Dayuan was born as a great guard. Standing on Hong Chengchou's left hand, he looked quite arrogant. Although **** was also sent by the great guard from Shunzhi to Hong Chengchou, his life experience was much more complicated.

******* was a bandit in his early years, nicknamed Lu Bu. Later, he killed his brother-in-law because he liked to bet and killed his brother-in-law. After Jiang Xiang surrendered and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he often rushed among the chaos army during the Qing Dynasty encirclement and suppression. He was extremely brave. The Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty "no one can defeat him." When Jiang Xiang was defeated, the man surrendered to the Qing Dynasty again. Prince Ying Ajige loved him and bravely brought him into Xinzheku as a slave. Later, Shunzhi was appointed as the first-class guard in the imperial front. However, after that, the rat heads of this person in the Three Feudal Rebellion once gave Shunzhi's son Kangxi a headache.

In the big tent, most of the people present were the Han generals of the Qing Dynasty in the southeast, but they only dared to sit half of their butt in front of Hong Chengchou, and the few generals with the lowest level could only touch the horses.

This is a rule gradually formed by the Ming Dynasty civil officials after overwhelmed military generals. Kneeling and handing over books are common, and there are naturally rules for this seat. However, there are many Han military bannermen among the generals, and they all have their own ranks among the Eight Banners. According to the rules, the official titles within the Qing Dynasty should be ceremonialized.

However, in front of Hong Chengchou, the third-class Adahaha who won the fourth hereditary birth eight years later, they did not dare to be at all presumptuous, not only because of the official position of this strategy or the reliance of Shunzhi, but also because of the deep awe of the old governor who was bloody suppressing bandits and the rebels against the Qing Dynasty, even when facing Huang Taiji in Jinzhou, they did not show any timidity.
