Chapter 33 Don't Lose

And only if Ajige doesn't enter Zhejiang, can Liu Yongxi have a 30% chance of winning, but the more shocking the waves are, Liu Yongxi wants to take a try!

After all, he still has the last killer move in his hand. He told Mrs. Xing: "When you go to see the Empress with me later, whether you can turn defeat into victory in the city of Huzhou depends on how we are talking to the Empress!"

Mrs. Xing knew that Empress Zhang was actually a member of the Liu family like her. She even slept with her in the same bed some time ago. But now when she heard Liu Yongxi say so seriously, she knew that what Liu Yongxi talked with Empress Zhang must be about the real important matter of the country: "Okay, no matter what your husband wants to do, I will fully support you. I believe that Empress Zhang also fully supports you!"

Although there are stormy waves ahead, Mrs. Xing feels that it is a very happy thing to be able to walk with Liu Yongxi.

For Xing Shengping, this was the first time he had taken on such an important responsibility, and the integration of more than a dozen rebels under the city of Hangzhou made him anxious.

Among them are Gao Jie's old subordinates whom he commanded, Liu Yongxi's old subordinates from Jingkou Town and Linhuai Town, Wang Zhiren, Yang Longyou, and Zhang Mingzhen, who transformed from the regular army of the Hongguang Dynasty, and new rebels like Xiong Rulin. More than a dozen people have their own origins. Just a supply issue is enough to make Xing Shengping worried.

Not to mention that the rebels from all over the country still have historical grudges. Recently, Yang Longyou and Ma Shiying's thousands of regular troops participated in the war, which made Xing Shengping breathe a sigh of relief while also having to deal with endless controversy. Many people asked Xing Shengping to "take over" Yang Longyou and Ma Shiying's thousands of soldiers.

Xing Shengping knew what the so-called "received" meant. Although he had never experienced a big scene, he immediately rejected the proposal that might cause chaos: "Everything else can be discussed, but the most important thing now is to unite against Jianlu. As long as he is willing to join forces with me to fight against Jianlu, he is all his own people!"

Fortunately, Xing Shengping was still quite sober in this matter, so the 30,000 rebels outside Hangzhou City did not collapse, but maintaining the situation of besieging Hangzhou was already the upper limit of Xing Shengping's ability. Now Xing Shengping's most worried issue is that there will be big problems after time is delayed. Therefore, he specifically asked Zhang Guowei, the former Minister of War, who came to supervise the war: "Zhang Xiangguo, how do you think Hangzhou should break the city?"

Zhang Guowei was another Minister of War who was just a quick-witted minister of the Ministry of War in the Chongzhen Dynasty. Although he was a clever wife, he was indeed a little lacking in ability and was also suspected of letting the enemy go out of seclusion. However, he had finally had a minister of War and had seen a big scene: "General Xing, has Duke Yue written a letter in Huzhou?"

In fact, Mrs. Xing and Liu Yongxi were already ready to write a letter to Xing Shengping, but at the last moment, Liu Yongxi gave up the idea of ​​playing chess. Xing Shengping naturally said truthfully: "My sister and brother-in-law sent me to spread the good news to me, but did not formally write a letter!"

Zhang Guowei said confidently: "That's right, that means Empress Zhang and Duke Yue have full trust and delegated power to General Xing, and entrust all the battle situation in Hangzhou to General Xing and General Xing. Don't let the love between Empress Zhang and Duke Yue!"

Although Xing Shengping had more courage, he still expressed his thoughts: "Zhang Xiangguo, it should be fine if I command thousands of troops, but now there are 30,000 troops outside Hangzhou City, including people like Ma Shiying. I think the dispatch cannot be moved!"

Zhang Guowei continued to cheer Xing Shengping: "The Empress of the Supervisor and the Duke of Yue entrusted the entire Hangzhou to General Xing. Anyone who dares to have any objections will be dealt with by military law. General Xing, although you do not kill Ma Shiying, this does not mean that you do not have the power to kill the general. The Empress of the Supervisor has agreed that as long as we reach an agreement, no matter what kind of civil and military officials, you can take action first and then report it!"

Liu Yongxi and Empress Zhang were far away in Huzhou, so they naturally had no control over the battle situation in Hangzhou, so they specifically stated this in the edicts of Zhang Guowei and Xing Shengping. Xing Shengping was brave enough to say this by Zhang Guowei: "Will Zhang be prepared to kill the general when he was in the prime minister?"

"No!" Zhang Guowei said confidently: "I'm telling all the generals that you and I have the power to kill the generals. Let them be more awake first, and then let them fight with Jianlu to clear the Jianlu's peripheral stronghold in Hangzhou. If you can't deal with Boluo, there is no problem with dealing with 180 new affiliated troops. If they dare not do their best, don't blame us for taking action first and then reporting!"

Although Xing Shengping was quite confident in the rest of Gao Jie's subordinates he personally took, he didn't have much confidence in Wang Zhiren and Zhang Mingzhen's subordinates. As for Yang Longyou, Xiong Rulin's subordinates were really hard to say. When he heard Zhang Guowei say this, he frowned: "Is this possible?"

However, Zhang Guowei said confidently: "It is feasible, absolutely feasible. Now we must fight a war and drag Jianlu into the water!"

This really woke up the dreamer. Xing Shengping nodded repeatedly: "Yes, the only strategy to fight now is to disrupt wars and completely drag Jianlu into the water!"

Although the Ming army sieges the city have an advantage in terms of military strength, Boluo has more than 30 red-clothed cannons under his command. Under normal circumstances, the Ming army cannot break through Hangzhou City. And as Xing Shengping was worried, more than a dozen Ming army outside the city was in chaos, and he really started a field battle with dignity, and was definitely not the opponent of the Qing army in the city.

In this situation, it is the most feasible strategy to completely disrupt the rhythm of the Qing army around several strongholds outside the city. Zhang Guowei said confidently: "Now the national fortune is in Hangzhou, Jiaxing and Huzhou. As long as our army can win a complete victory on one battlefield, it will completely change the luck of the world. Therefore, the key is not to lose, and we will drag it down!"

Zhang Guowei was very clear that the 30,000 people under Xing Shengping's command would not be able to annihilate the 20,000 Qing troops under Commander Boluo. So as long as you drag it on, everything will have hope!

For the Regent Dorgon, for the first time, he discovered that the shaving order caused such a big problem. Even the 40,000 Qing troops, commander Boluo, suffered setbacks. He sat on the dragon throne and shouted loudly:

"It seems that the hair shaving order is a good thing. It forced all the remnants of the remnants of the Ming Dynasty. If it weren't for the hair shaving order, I really wouldn't have known that so many people were dissatisfied with my Qing Dynasty's benevolent government!"

However, the envoy sent by Duoduo below actually explained the actual situation in Jiangnan: "The problem now is that Boluo Beile was careless for a moment, which caused hundreds of soldiers of the Eight Banners to lose, and the damage of the Han soldiers was even greater. Now tens of thousands of Jinhua thieves are now attacking Hangzhou, and Boluo Beile has sent people to ask for help from Nanjing!"
