Chapter 10 Thunderbolt
In any aspect, the King of Tang is a more suitable candidate than Empress Zhang and Princess Kunxing. He is no matter how he says he is the blood of Emperor Taizu. Unlike Empress Zhang, who is only the queen of the previous dynasty and Princess Kunxing is only the princess. However, since Empress Zhang wants to lead the army in person, she is the most suitable candidate for the country supervision. The civil and military officials present will not raise any objection.
They were founding heroes in Zhejiang, but if they were incorporated by the King of Tang, they would be just idle people. Yu Huang was particularly active in this matter: "Duke Yue, if you don't follow you to restore the entire Shaoxing mansion, how dare I, Yu Huang, leave my hometown in Shaoxing? I will cross the river with Duke Yue today!"
Xiaoshan County in another time and space has always been the territory of Hangzhou, but Xiaoshan County in the Ming and Qing dynasties has long been part of Shaoxing Prefecture. Now the Ming army has only recovered the part south of the Qiantang River in Xiaoshan County, and Xiaoshan County north of the Qianjiang River is still in the hands of the Qing army, so Yu Huang said this.
But more importantly, Yu Huang has decided to put his political future on this Duke Yue. He thinks that the empress and the princess of the State are just a cover. The real person in charge of the state affairs of this dynasty is still the Duke Yue and the Grand Marshal of the World. Liu Yongxi.
Since he understood this truth, Yu Huang felt that he didn't have to go far to Jinhua to meet the queen and princess of the regent. As long as he followed Duke Liu Yongxi closely, he would naturally enjoy endless wealth and glory.
When Liu Yongxi saw the civil and military officials around him, he knew that the morale of the army was available, he immediately made up his mind: "Since everyone is thinking of regaining Hangzhou as soon as possible to restore all Zhejiang, then it is better to cross the river than to not be too late!"
For Boluo in Hangzhou City, the failure on the south bank of Qiantang River made him so angry that he almost vomited blood: "Where is Xie Sanbin? When he catches Xie Sanbin, I will torture him slowly and let him live for a month."
Although I knew that this matter could not be blamed entirely on Xie Sanbin, Boluo had already thought of many extremely vicious means to use it on Xie Sanbin. The loss this time was really too heavy.
Although the Qing army suffered a series of setbacks and losses in Qiantang River, the total number of casualties was only 1,6700 people. In addition, most of the defeats were defeated, the Qing army had more or less troops breaking out, unlike this battle in Jiangnan where the entire army was lost.
This is a total of 5,000 troops. This is the first time that the entire 5,000 troops were gone in the history of the Qing Dynasty. Boluo didn't know how to explain to Dodo and the Regent Dorgon!
This morning, Boluo happened to receive a letter from Duoduo. In the letter, Prince Yu stated that the entire Jiangnan was rebellious because of the order to shave his head, and the Qing army was facing a passive situation of insufficient troops. Therefore, Duoduo hoped that Boluo could send a large army to help quell the rebellion while defending Hangzhou. He even hoped that Boluo could personally lead the army to quell the rebellion.
However, although Prince Yu had high hopes for Boluo, after Tian Xiong and Haning's five thousand troops were completely wiped out, Boluo knew that not only could not send one army and one soldier to support Duoduo, but he might also need Duoduo to send troops to support him.
When Boluo thought of this, he felt particularly depressed. Until now, he didn't understand where he lost. He was obviously making great progress and could win the entire province of Zhejiang at any time, but a shaving order caused chaos in the province.
Normally, he held a 40,000 army in his hand, and he could win no matter how turmoil in the province was. As a result, he encountered a series of setbacks for no reason. Boro finally thought about it and felt that it was Xie Sanbin's fault.
If Xie Sanbin had not had a good idea to send him five thousand elite troops from his precious mobile forces to cross the Qiantang River to fight south, not only would the five thousand armored soldiers be able to escape unscathed, but Boluo could also extinguish the rebellions in Jiangbei as soon as possible.
But now there are rebellions in the north of Qiantang River. The Qing army has achieved many results while also suffering many setbacks. The five thousand troops in the southern expedition were completely wiped out.
Of course, whether it is for the court or Prince Yu Duoduo, Boluo would only make a sound statement that the Southern Expedition Army was severely frustrated and forced to cross the north, and would never admit that the Southern Expedition Army had been completely wiped out.
Even if you can see Jiangnan everywhere in a glance, and the Qiantang River has changed color, Boluo will only say that although Jialazhang Jinghaning died in the battle formation, at least the general Tian Xiong led hundreds of elite troops to break out of the siege and successfully cross the north.
Moreover, everyone has different understandings of "hundreds". Boluo will understand "hundreds" as "nearly a thousand", while the Regent and Prince Yu will understand "hundreds", and the Ming monarchs and ministers will understand "more than a hundred people", but in fact, there are less than a hundred defeated soldiers who followed Tian Xiong to the north. What makes Boluo even more furious is that the hundreds of Eight Banners soldiers under Haning's command can't even find a survivor. Boluo doesn't know how to explain to the higher authorities, so he can only fool him first.
But as long as Tian Xiong is still alive, there is a way. Boluo also knew that Tian Xiong had no way out and transferred all Huang Degong's old subordinates to Tian Xiong to supplement his troops. For this reason, he also specially appeased Tian Xiong: "General Tian, don't worry, although it was a big setback, the death period of Jinhua thieves has arrived, at most it will be a month or two more!"
Although Tian Xiong was covered in wounds, he showed the fierceness of a desperate person at this moment: "When Beile rest assured, our army's major setback was just an accident. There are 40,000 royal troops in Jiangbei. If the Jinhua thieves dare to invade, they will be dead!"
Boluo felt that Tian Xiong was right: "That's right, there are 40,000 troops in Jiangbei. No matter how many thieves come, they can defeat them all. I don't believe that the Jinhua thieves dare to cross the river and advance north!"
Tian Xiong became more and more arrogant after hearing this: "If the Jinhua thieves dare to cross the river and advance north, Tian is willing to be the vanguard of the army and kill these Jinhua thieves without leaving any armor!"
Boluo was also full of confidence: "When it comes to water wars, my Qing soldiers are a little inferior, but the ability to confront land is invincible. I just see if these Jinhua thieves dare to cross the river!"
Just as Tian Xiong was about to say something, he heard an Eight Banners soldier covered in blood running in: "Beile, Beile, something big happened! General Zu was defeated from Huzhou!"
"Huzhou?"
For Boluo, this was another bolt from the blue: "How is it possible? How could a mere Huzhou Qing army cannot be taken down!"
Although the Eight Banners soldiers who came to report the news were sweating profusely, they immediately answered Boluo's question: "Beile, Huzhou is not only guarded by the Ming army, but also with Jinhua thieves!"
When Boluo said the three words "Jinhua Thieves" Boluo knew what was going on, and Tian Xiong next to him even reminded him: "Beyer, be careful that there are changes in the direction of Jiaxing!"
