Chapter 4 Fight against the backwater

Zhang Guowei and Zhu Dadian both felt that Liu Yongxi seemed too careless, but Empress Zhang had already handed over the position of "Major Marshal of the World" to Liu Yongxi. Moreover, Chengyi Bo Mansion has a certain foundation for operating in Zhejiang for hundreds of years. Zhang Huangyan has a battalion of veterans around him. If he could combine it with the chess pieces set up by Chengyi Bo Mansion, he would definitely achieve unexpected results.

No matter how high Xie Sanbin is, he is just a powerful gentry. Judging from Liu Yongxi's confidence, he knows that he should have made arrangements: "It is naturally a good thing to be able to pacify Ningbo Prefecture, but now you are more cautious when dividing troops from multiple routes!"

Although Liu Yongxi was preparing to send troops to the river to annihilate the Qing army southward, he, the great marshal of the world, made the decision to divide the troops. The troops alone followed Wang Sun Fan to Fujiang had as many as 2,000 troops. Although there were many newly recruited troops, there were at least 1,000 veteran backbones.

In addition to the first battalion led by Zhang Huangyan and the fifth battalion led by Zhang Sunfan, Liu Yongxi sent several troops to support Huzhou, Jiaxing and Yanzhou Yishi even prepared to attack Nanzhili in multiple ways.

These troops range from one battalion to three battalion or even five battalion. In addition to the minimum remaining troops in Jinhua, Chuzhou and Quzhou, Liu Yongxi personally led the army of only 10,000, which was only a slight advantage compared to the Qing army in the south. If you consider that Boluo may cross the Qiantang River in large numbers at any time, he is at an absolute disadvantage.

This is the most worrying issue between Zhang Guowei and Zhu Dadian at the moment, but Liu Yongxi said very clearly: "Although the Yishi Division is known as the elite, its total strength is only 20,000, and Boluo still has 40,000 to 50,000. The Jianlu under the command of Duoduo in Nanjing has as many as 100,000. Moreover, there are 100,000 Jianlu in the upper reaches. If you want to turn the situation around and recover Hangzhou, you must rely on the power of various Yishi Divisions!"

What Liu Yongxi said was the truth that Zhu Dadian and Zhang Guowei knew. The biggest problem in Jinhua now is that Empress Zhang and Princess Kunxing, who were supervising the country, were both female-like people, but that the actual control of the prefectures and counties was less than 30. Even if the mobilized new recruits were counted, there were only more than 20,000 soldiers available. Under such circumstances, we must rely on the power of friendly forces.

Zhang Guowei served as the Minister of War. Although he had defeated countless times during this position as the Minister of War, he did experience it: "How likely is the Duke of Yue to win this battle on the Jiangshang?"

Liu Yongxi said very clearly: "Without a 70% chance of winning, how dare I send troops to the river?"

Speaking of this, Liu Yongxi laughed: "Now I have to be responsible not only for myself, but also for my family!"

Zhang Guowei and Zhu Dadian both thought that Liu Yongxi was talking about Princess Kunxing, Mrs. Xing and Li Xiangjun, and immediately laughed: "That's good. It seems that Jinhua's gentle nest does not exorcise the fighting spirit of Duke Mo Yue!"

But they didn't know that the "family" that Liu Yongxi mentioned also included Queen Zhang. He even felt that the person he was most sorry for was Queen Zhang, so he had to return safely.

For the Qing Dynasty general Tian Xiong, Liu Yongxi's strategy of using troops almost made him laugh: "Bolo Beile gave thousands of instructions, but he didn't expect that this Duke Yue was just a squat in using troops!"

I heard that the Duke of Yue is only seventeen or eighteen years old this year, just a child who is still young. His military strategy is similar to that of an eight or nine-year-old baby. If Liu Yongxiu gathers all his strength to launch an offensive before Boluo's support crosses the river, Tian Xiong's five thousand troops might be in a great crisis.

However, Liu Yongxi divided his troops in large numbers before launching the offensive. According to the information that Tian Xiong had obtained, it might have been divided into nearly ten troops, ranging from three to five hundred people, and at most more than a thousand. Although the offensive seemed like a tide, in the eyes of veterans like Tian Xiong, there were many flaws and even the same as self-destruction.

Although Liu Yongxi's subordinates were all Gao Jie's subordinates, Tian Xiong's subordinates not only had Huang Degong's subordinates, but also had the real Eight Banners Power. Bolobeile's 40,000 troops could cross the Qiantang River to support them at any time. Not to mention one Liu Yongxi or ten Liu Yongxi, they would be wiped out.

When Tian Xiong thought of this, he felt that he should cross the river early. However, Jiamazhang Jinghaning, who was really responsible for this southern expedition, felt that he should be more cautious: "This Ming thief is the most sinister than other roads. You must be careful that they have some tricks!"

Tian Xiong could not control his excitement. After all, he had sold Emperor Hongguang and Huang Degong and had no way back. Now he was thinking about how to make achievements under Boluo's command.

The limit of the military man in the Ming Dynasty is nothing more than military generals like Huang Degong and Gao Jie. However, the generals of the Qing Dynasty not only have the opportunity to be the governor of a province, but also have the opportunity to be the real governor and governor. It depends on whether the contributions he has made are enough: "Mr. Zhang Jing, what you really need to be guarded against now is not to scare the Ming thief away. If the Ming thief back to Jinhua Mansion, it will be troublesome!"

This is the most worrying issue that Tian Xiong is now. It is okay to deal with Liu Yongxi with 5,000 elite soldiers. However, scaring Liu Yongxi back to Jinhua Mansion is the real big problem. After all, Jinhua Mansion is Liu Yongxi's real home court, and Liu Yongxi seems to have a lot of troops left in Jinhua, so it will be even more difficult to deal with after the merger.

Jiamazhang Jinghaning has experienced many battles. When Tian Xiong said this, he immediately came over: "Then how can we keep these Ming thieves?"

Tian Xiong had extraordinary confidence in the Eight Banners elite soldiers: "It's naturally a fight against the enemy!"

But Haning didn't understand what "fighting with the back" means. Tian Xiong took a long time to make it clear, and this Jiama Zhang Jing thought it was a good idea: "Then we will rely on the Qiantang River to wait for the Ming thieves to attack!"

Although he knew that Tian Xiong must have deliberately revealed flaws, Tian Xiongzhen's attitude of fighting against the river still scared Liu Yongxi. However, since Tian Xiong took the initiative, Liu Yongxi sent troops to Zhuji without hesitation. Although Shaoxing Prefecture and Shanyin County have surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, they did not hesitate to see Liu Yongxi's army advancing northward. However, although Shaoxing Prefecture has changed its banner again, it still has a wait-and-see attitude.

Not only Shaoxing Prefecture has a wait-and-see attitude, but the whole of Zhejiang also has a wait-and-see attitude, but a bolt from the blue suddenly came from Nanjing and Hangzhou!
