"My father is so happy! My father is so happy..."
Early in the morning, when Wu Sangui was eating Suzhou-style Yunnan rice noodles cooked by Chen Yuanyuan himself in his presidential palace, his son Wu Yingxiong's voice full of surprise came from outside.
President Wu, who was sipping soup, quickly put down his spoon when he heard his son's cry, stood up and strode out. When he arrived in the hall outside, he saw Wu Yingxiong standing there with a flushed face, holding a few pieces in his hand. I am panting for breath!
Wu Sangui couldn't wait for his son to finish breathing, and immediately asked: "Ying Xiong, is it that Xuan Ye doesn't dare to drive and conquer in person?"
Wu Sangui's clamoring for "stud" meant that he was "cheating" Kangxi. Kangxi didn't dare to follow up, but sent a useless Wang Dai to die. Then Wu Sangui has already won!
"No, it's not." Wu Yingxiong took a few breaths and said, "The imperial edict has been clearly issued, saying that the emperor will personally come to Hubei to conquer... and also asked Leerjin to renovate the palace in Xiangyang."
"That's it." The joy on Wu Sangui's face suddenly disappeared, and his brows knitted together, "The imperial camp is in Xiangyang... What's so great about that?"
"Father," Wu Yingxiong handed several invitations in his hand to Wu Sangui, "Look at the top one. It is the good news sent by Prime Minister Xia... He recently sent Wu Guogui to lead eight hundred elite troops. When we crossed the river at Lizhou, we originally planned to pull out a Qing soldier's stronghold in the north of the river and capture some prisoners. But we didn't expect that the Qing soldiers' strongholds on the other side of Bailizhou were all empty!"
"Really?" Wu Sangui muttered, "This is good news."
"There's more!" Wu Yingxiong's face almost turned bright. "After Wu Guogui discovered that several Qing army strongholds on the north bank of Jingjiang River were unguarded, he led his people to advance eastward along the river embankment. Guess he Where was it pushed?"
"Where are you?" Wu Sangui asked with a smile, "You're not at Guyue Embankment in Shashi, are you?"
Shashi is located in the southeast of Jingzhou. It has been a large commercial port in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River since the Tang Dynasty. There is a "Ten Mile Jin Tower Embankment", and this "levee" is the embankment that protects the city of Jingzhou. It is called "Golden Embankment" or "Cunjin Embankment". ". In the Ming Dynasty, Jingzhou's city protection embankment system was further improved, and an Ancient Moon Embankment was built outside Cunjin Embankment.
And this Ancient Moon Embankment is now the lifeblood of Jingzhou City!
Once Guyue Embankment is controlled by Wu Sangui, Jingzhou City will be in Wu Sangui's pocket. If we can first occupy Guyue Embankment, then surround Jingzhou City, wait until the reinforcements sent by Emperor Kangxi arrive outside Jingzhou City, then use sugar to blow up the embankment, flooding the Seventh Army. President Wu is so happy just thinking about it!
"No more!" Wu Yingxiong said with a smile, "Father, Wu Guogui did want to touch Guyue Dike at first. But when he was passing from the south of Jingzhou City, he was stopped by a group of elders from Jingzhou City... Please come into town!"
"What? Are you invited to enter Jingzhou City?" Wu Sangui couldn't believe it, "Naler Jin..."
"Run away!" Wu Yingxiong said, "I didn't expect that the descendants of Daishan would be so useless. He heard the news that we were going to cross the river and ran away with his Eight Banners soldiers and Green Camp soldiers. When Wu Guogui entered Jingzhou, he ran away It’s been three or four days.”
"Where have you gone?" Wu Sangui's expression suddenly became serious.
"Run to Anlu, Jingmen and Xiangyang." At this time, Wu Yingxiong also noticed that his father Wu Sangui's face was wrong, "Father, handsome, you are..."
"Lerjin is not running away, he is leading us into a trap! Anlu, Jingmen, and Xiangyang are all on the edge of the Han River. Hanyang to the south of Anlu is in Tuhai's hands, plus Wuchang, Huangzhou, and Jieshu Jiujiang in his hands and Anqing, Jiangning and other places controlled by Yue Le. Starting from Xiangyang in the west and ending at Susong in the east, they are connected into one!"
Zhuo Butai is indeed a veteran of the same level as Wu Sangui. He just slightly adjusted the layout of the Qing army and immediately turned the "long worm" into a "long dragon".
Originally, as long as Wu Sangui held onto Jingzhou's destiny, the Qing army would have to send reinforcements. They would either abandon their ships and go ashore by land, or they could march westward from Hanyang or Wuchang and go upstream.
No matter which style of play, Wu Sangui has great advantages.
But now, the Qing army relies on the Yangtze River and the Han River to connect... There are also Xiangyang, Jingmen, Hanyang, and Zhongxiang in the Jianghan area that are difficult to break fortresses that can be retreated.
No matter where Wu Sangui launched his troops to attack, the various Qing troops stationed along the Yangtze River and Han River could come to the rescue by boat and waterway.
Wu Sangui paced the hall with his hands behind his back: "I didn't expect this kid to have such knowledge... No, he can't decide to give up Jingzhou. It must be because Xuan Ye has an expert around him!"
Hearing Wu Sangui mention "master", Wu Yingxiong seemed to remember something, and hurriedly took out one from a stack of invitations and sent it to Wu Sangui.
"Father, look at this."
"This is..." Wu Sangui took a look at the invitation and found that it was sent by Liu Jinzhong through Xue Zhang.
Three things are mentioned above.
First, Emperor Kangxi had already issued an edict, announcing that he would personally conquer the imperial army, and he also chose Xiangyang as the garrison location for the imperial camp.
Second, Kangxi appointed Ao Bai's second brother Zhuo Butai, and made Zhuo Butai a bachelor of Wuyingdian, minister of political affairs, commander of the Xianghuang Banner, and minister of the Banyi Banner Army of the Ministry of Internal Affairs... He also made Ao Bai The first-class super warrior was awarded to Zhuo Butai.
Third, Emperor Kangxi issued an edict, ordering the kings, Baylors, Beizi, and the eight banners' respective yamen to recruit strong soldiers and hand them over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs' banner army! In addition, a quota of 30,000 coats and banner men was released to the green camp soldiers and generals... to recruit elite soldiers and officers from the green camp to join the banner.
"Zhuo Butai!" Wu Sangui yelled, "It turns out it's this old guy Zhuo Butai...Kangxi killed two of his brothers, and he still works hard for Kangxi like this. He is really a good slave!"
"Father..." Wu Yingxiong looked at Wu Sangui's furious look and knew something was wrong.
It seems that he was happy too early!
The Qing Dynasty has not closed down so easily!
"Quickly, send someone to summon the generals and military advisors here in Changsha. I'm going to hold a military meeting! Since Xuan Ye wants to lead the expedition in person, I'm going to cross the Yangtze River!"
Wu Sangui was silent for a while, and when he spoke again, his tone had returned to calmness. He smiled and said to Wu Yingxiong: "Yingxiong, although this battle is easy to win, our chances of winning are still huge. Because we have in our hands And a big card!”
"Big name?" Wu Yingxiong asked, "Are you talking about Zhu Heji?"
"It's not him," Wu Sangui sneered, "it's Geng Jingzhong!"
.......
"Haha, this is a big door for slaves! These Tatars have such a good plan. They think that if the world's heroes don't want to be upright men, they have to line up to be their slaves? Really? The most ridiculous thing in the world!"
In Changsha, in the presidential palace, Wu Sangui was commenting with disdain on Emperor Kangxi's "Slave New Deal." The advisors and generals below were a little worried when the military meeting began, but after hearing Wu Sangui's words, they all smiled, and some even echoed loudly.
"That's right, now the world is divided into three parts. Good ministers will serve as masters. There are many places for heroes in the world to go. Who wants to be the slave of the Manchu people?"
"It's not a slave, it's a coated slave...worse than a slave!"
"Haha, there are people who are worse than the coated slaves! The green battalion soldiers are lower than the coated flag soldiers, they are really worse than dogs!"
"Isn't that right? The coated slaves are still treated as treasures and are reluctant to give them away, so they give the Green Camp 30,000 places. What do those Green Camp soldiers who can't even be coated slaves do?"
"What do you want? Vote for the president and become a founding hero!"
"President, lead us across the river!"
"We're not afraid of those slaves and the green camp bitches who can't be slaves!"
"Yes, cross the river and let Xuan Ye know what a Chinese man is!"
Wu Sangui listened to the heroic words of these subordinates, and the smile on his old face was so full that there was no room for it. He immediately waved his hands and said: "Everyone, I want to tell you some good news... The Qing Dynasty's The King of Jingnan, Geng Zhongzhong, has the ambition to restore China. He has already made an agreement with me, and will fight back when I face Xuan Ye!
We have won the decisive battle in Jiangbei! "
