The ninth chapter Zhejiang and Fujian fight for glory
This was originally Haning's favorite scene. Every time he encountered such a situation, he could always create miracles and kill the Ming army with one defeat and a hundred kills. After all, this situation could exert the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners Army to its limit.
But the situation is completely opposite. Although the situation is extremely chaotic and the commanders of both sides cannot control the troops below, all the advantages of the Eight Banners Army were gone in chaos. Although Haning is Jialaezhen, there are only more than a dozen Eight Banners soldiers around him. Moreover, the retreating Qing army quickly dispersed Haning and these Eight Banners soldiers.
There were tides of remnants like defeated soldiers everywhere. Several Qing troops who had been through many battles were directly driven down from the Qiantang River by pursuers. The Eight Banners Niulu, which had a history of more than ten years, disappeared without a trace in the crowd and fire tide. Haning only felt pain!
If the battle was in a dignified manner, even if it failed in the end, it would have severely damaged the Ming army in front of him. However, the situation is completely opposite. Whether it is the elite Eight Banners or Tian Xiong's servants, their personal soldiers collapsed in the Ming army's tide offensive. I am afraid that all the casualties of the Duoduo Southern Expedition will not be as good as today's battle.
Now he had only one thought: "Come with me, we have to find a way to get General Tian to cross the river!"
Although this battle against the water will inevitably end with the complete failure of the Qing army, Haning realized that letting Tian Xiong escape from the Qiantang River is more important than anything else.
His status as Jia Lae is obviously higher than that of a Han general like Tian Xiong, but Tian Xiong not only betrayed the former master Huang Degong, but also sold Emperor Hongguang to the Qing Dynasty. Haning determined that there was a fact: Tian Xiong must survive!
Even if the entire Qing army was gone, as long as Tian Xiong was alive, the Qing Dynasty would not lose everything in this battle!
But he did not realize that the Qing army, which was once invincible in the world, now only had such a small goal!
For the generals of the Ming army, this battle of back-to-scenes was a complete victory for the Ming army from any angle. Even if a few of the five thousand Qing troops collapsed, there were very few people breaking through the siege or crossing the river, at most one or two hundred people.
Now there is a situation of corpses and blood on the banks of Qiantang River. Each camp has become a ruin. The bodies of Qing army on many battlefields, horse corpses and seriously injured Qing army members are piled up, making people have nowhere to gain a foothold, and even the Qiantang River water has changed color.
This is the first time since Dodo and Ajige launched a large-scale southern expedition to experience such a large number of casualties. According to some Qing army prisoners, "The casualties of our Prince Dudo have not been so many of them in the combined total!"
Although he escaped Tian Xiong, the surrendered general who killed the Lord, several Qing army prisoners pointed out the bodies of Jialaezhenhanin and many Eight Banners officers at the first time, making everyone understand that the opponents that were annihilated in this battle last night were not only Huang Degong's old subordinates and Han army, but also thousands of Eight Banners true captives. This is the first time in the history of the national dynasty!
This hellish scene is like heaven for the Ming Dynasty. Yu Huang's face is now proud: "The Duke of Yue reported the victory on the river, and the Empress and the Princess will definitely receive a great reward!"
Liu Yongxi is now the Duke of Yue and the Grand Marshal of the World. Everyone knows that after the regaining of Hangzhou and Nanjing, the Grand Marshal Liu Yongxi will sooner or later become Princess Kunxing's son-in-law, so there will naturally be no reward. The reason why Yu Huang specifically mentioned "reward" is naturally that he would reward him with the army for his contributions.
The Dinghai General Wang Zhiren, who was next to him, was also very interested in the term "reward": "Since Jianlu launched a war with the seven major hatreds, the country has always had such victory, so the Empress and Your Highness will naturally have a reward!"
Although he came the latest, he was better than to come early than to come by chance. He happened to catch up with several Ming troops from Ningbo Prefecture to catch up with this unprecedented victory, so he had special expectations for a heavy reward.
After all, Liu Yongxi was already the Duke of Yue and the Grand Marshal of the World. Next, he would definitely be the prince consort of the state. It would not be an exaggeration to fight for the position of Duke and Majesty.
Liu Yongxi and Empress Zhang had a long consensus on this issue: "Everyone is a founding hero. If you want to speak directly, I will definitely fight for the court, but if you want Duke and Marquis Wandae, you must bring Hangzhou back with me."
This battle on the river can be said to have changed the pattern of the governor of Jinhua. Originally, the three prefectures and twenty-three counties in central Zhejiang were not enough to establish a country. Now, Ningbo, Wenzhou and Taizhou are here to invest, and Shaoxing Prefecture has been recovered except for the north of Qiantang River. In addition, Wang Sunfan has managed Guangxin Prefecture, and now it has formed a situation of confrontation with Boluo across the Qiantang River, which is completely enough to establish a country.
However, the richest prefectures and counties in Zhejiang are almost all located in the north of Qiantang River, and Hangzhou is the capital of Zhejiang Province. If you want to achieve the ZTE cause, you must first recover Hangzhou.
Wang Zhiren felt that Liu Yongxi was very saying: "Duke of Yue, when will the king cross the river and move north to recover Hangzhou?"
Liu Yongxi turned around and asked Zhang Huangyan: "Huangyan, when do you think it is the most appropriate time to cross the river?"
The fifth camp rebels under Zhang Huangyan also caught up with the most glorious decisive moment: "Duke Yueguo, I think the earlier the river crossing the river, the more appropriate it is. If the time delays too long, the Jiangbei Yishi might have some accidents."
Although the fifth battalion under Zhang Huangyan gained a lot in this battle on the Yangtze River, he still exposed countless problems in actual combat, making him realize that his five battalions are not only not opponents of the Eight Banners soldiers, but also no match for green camp soldiers like Tian Xiong.
But among the various rebel armies, Zhang Huangyan's five battalions were already the elite among the elite. In fact, the newly formed rebel army was not the opponent of the Qing army. We must cross the river and advance north to form a joint force with various rebel troops before Boluo and Duoduo reacted.
Liu Yongxi also said very clearly: "The heroes have similar views. My views are exactly the same as Huang Yan. Moreover, the Empress is preparing to lead the emperor to personally expedition. Can't we really let the Empress cross the river first?"
This was the first time that the Ming civil and military officials present heard that Empress Zhang was preparing to lead the imperial expedition. Even though many of them looked down on the females, they had to admit that Empress Zhang was preparing to cross the river to personally expedition.
Compared to Emperor Hongguang, who had never dared to command the imperial army in person, who had escaped directly when he heard that the Qing army crossed the river, Empress Zhang was indeed a virtuous and saint queen. Everyone was relieved to be the one who could take charge of the country.
Wang Zhiren was originally planning to support a royal family member to respond to Wanquan. After hearing the news that Empress Zhang was preparing to lead the imperial army in person, he gave up the idea: "Since the Empress wants to lead the imperial army in person, then we will not be able to cross the river today. Only by regaining Hangzhou City can we truly command the world."
Although Wang Zhiren said it in a lot, everyone understood what he wanted to express.
