Chongzhen Undergraduates

"Dorgon, the dog day, really knows how to choose the time." Zhu Youjian cursed involuntarily.

The wild boar skin was for hunting. Like a hound on the African grassland, it followed Zhu Youjian and took a bite.

"Your Majesty, do you want to let Huai Si go out first, and we will only guard Jiang Fang for the time being?" Zuo Maodi also had a headache.The area around Huaisi couldn't withstand the attack of a million troops at all. There was a plain, which was completely favorable terrain for Houjin's field battle.

The only few cities are also located alone on the plain, relying on the height of the city wall to resist the attack of heavy troops, no one has any idea.

"No, absolutely not. To guard the river, we must guard the Huai River! We can't just hand over Huai Si to others for nothing." Zhu Youjian shook his head. He has been planning for more than two years and has been strengthening the defense of Huai Si.

It was originally planned to be able to withstand the attack of 50 people. Who knows that history will change two years later, and the strength of Hou Jin is stronger than in history.

Now it's an attack of 100 million people, Zhu Youjian doesn't know if the Huaisi defense system he planned can withstand this wave of attacks.

However, no matter whether he can do it or not, Zhu Youjian must carry it.

Daming was once again facing a crisis in the capital.And the emperor of Ming Dynasty was helpless during the first capital crisis.But this time, he decided to fight on the battlefield himself, Zhu Youjian didn't want to hide behind and watch the building collapse.

This is the emperor of Ming Dynasty guarding the gate of the country, not the "king dies in the country" when things are defeated and he hangs himself.

"Zuo Aiqing, you stay in Sichuan to help coordinate Sichuan affairs. I will go to Huaisi. In this battle, I will fight the enemy myself."

"Your majesty, this is not acceptable! You are the king of a country, and Ming needs you." Zuo Maodi understood the current situation in Huaisi too well.

"I have already made a decision. Just now the military situation came from Hubei, and Li Chengdong is treasonous. Daming is at the point of life and death again, can I, the emperor, still sit still?"

"Your Majesty, if you must go, then take an army with you. Although Sichuan needs training now, one more army and one less army will not have much impact."

"Then bring the Thirteenth Army with you."

Chapter 357: Bing major general is widowed in Nanjing City

The No.13 Army has not many troops, and it is a guerrilla warfare method, so it really doesn't make much sense to stay in Sichuan.

When the Thirteenth Army was transferred to Sichuan, it was because of insufficient troops, and Dazhou needed defense as a last resort.

According to Zhu Youjian's vision, the entire Sichuan army was reorganized and expanded into eighteen regular armies, three legions, and two navy armies.The total force is 60.

Zeng Ying was the commander of the First Army, Dang Shousu was the chief of staff; Deng Zhirong was the commander of the Second Army, Yang Zhan was the chief of staff; Li Dingguo was the commander of the Third Army, and Yuan Zongdi was the chief of staff.Yu Dahai's navy will not be expanded for the time being, and will be responsible for the dispatch of Chuanzhong.

A large number of outstanding young officers of the former Black Banner Army remained as commanders of battalions and regiments. A large number of old-fashioned and old officers were sent to the chieftain area to take charge of maintaining law and order and arresting robbers.Even Mu Tianbo was appointed by Zhu Youjian as the commander of an army under Li Dingguo.

Li Dingguo led a part of the army to assist Yunnan and Guizhou in reforming the land, Zeng Ying was responsible for the defense of northern Sichuan, and Deng Zhirong was mainly responsible for the training of troops.Chen Zilong stayed in Chongqing as the governor of the Southwest, and Zuo Maodi assisted him in coordinating military affairs.

At the same time, military production in Chongqing has started ahead of schedule.The busiest one was Minsheng Company, which had been exhausted for more than half a year. After Zhu Youjian and the Thirteenth Army came out of Sichuan, they could take a rest.

……

Li Chengdong never thought that Duoduo said that taking him first was purely to scare him, and Hou Jin's strategy did not attack Hubei at all.

In view of the lessons learned from the failure of the last multi-pronged attack, the post-golden leaders in the capital decided to concentrate all their forces and only attack Jianghuai in one direction.To use the troops to saturation state, Hou Jin will have to fight a saturation attack against Daming.

The north of Macheng is not suitable for large troops to march, and if the Jin soldiers go south to Hubei, the Ming army can contain at least 20 troops in Hubei. Conversely, if the Jin soldiers only choose to defend in Nanyang, they only need 8 to [-] troops That's it.

The total strength of the north and south of Houjin did exceed 100 million, and they attacked in three ways.Hauge on the north road continued to step up the siege and suppression of Li Yan; on the central road, Duoduo personally led troops to march towards Xuzhou;

"Commander Huang, come to Fuyang to send a report. The Jin soldiers have already set off, and the forward has arrived fifty miles west of Fuyang; the rear army is so dense that you can't see the end. There are more than [-] four-wheeled carriages dispatched alone."

"Twenty thousand vehicles?" Huang Degong trembled in his heart. He knew exactly what scale it was.

The four-wheeled carriage brought by Zhu Youjian initially helped the Ming army defeat the Duoduo army, but it also indirectly helped the transportation and mobility of the Houjin army.Now Houjin can complete the deployment of materials and personnel without the need to recruit a large number of people.

"Yes. The [-] vehicles are just a convoy accompanying the army. According to intelligence from the north, more carriages are heading south. After the autumn flood, three pontoon bridges were erected on the Houjinzhong River, and there was an endless stream of people and horses throughout the night."

"My God!" one of Huang Degong's generals yelled out.

"Tell Shouzhou to bring all the workers and machines in the coal mines to Taiping Mansion. In addition, gather food and supplies to the four cities of Xuzhou, Suzhou, Fengyang, and Hezhou. Report all the matters to Yangzhou. Please ask Mr. Shi for the next matters. decide."

In the whole of Jiangbei, Shi Kefa is now in charge.This is not the difficult situation in history anymore. Shi Kefa's power in Jiangbei is much greater.Of course, the pressure is much greater.

"Commander, but we have less than 30 people in the entire Jianghuai Military Region, but we still have to guard so many places. How can we guard it?" the subordinate said.

"How to keep it? You ask me who I ask. I only know one word: boil!"

"The emperor didn't send any reinforcements here, how can we survive this? Suzhou and Hezhou don't even have a general defending the army..."

Although Huang Degong said it would be tough, not many people in Jiangnan would believe that Daming could pass the current test.They have been frightened by the number of millions of troops and lost their minds.

And now Nanjing is not only short of troops, but also has few generals who can fight.Now Huang Degong can't even gather the generals to defend the city.

"There will be." Huang Degong stood on the city wall and looked out of the city, and said to himself.

Nanjing does have some soldiers, that is Liu Liangzuo's cavalry.In addition, there are [-] black flag troops in Jiangjunshan, but they are all recruits aged [-] or [-]. Those who have no combat effectiveness belong to the nature of the young officer corps.

But Zhu Youjian didn't issue orders. These people were the army defending Nanjing City in everyone's eyes, and no one had the right to mobilize them.

The current situation means that the whole Jiangbei is on Huang Degong alone. Before Zhu Youjian returns to Nanjing, Huang Degong needs to face it alone.

Yangzhou City.

Shi Kefa is bickering with Ma Shiying.

"Ma Shiying, let me tell you, I am the supervisor of Jiangbei now. I have the final say on things here, and I will go to Suzhou, and it is not your turn."

Shi Kefa has already publicly called Ma Shiying by name, and both of them have lost their etiquette, so they almost rolled up their sleeves and cursed the street.

"Shi Kefa, are you familiar with the things in Suzhou? I have been in Suzhou for more than a year, and I know the names of every family on the street. What about you? You don't know anything."

"You're gone, what about Nanjing? I'm going to Suzhou, and you stay in Nanjing to be the head of the house. That's the best way."

"Your prince and son-in-law happen to be in Nanjing to supervise the country, so it is most suitable for you to stay."

In this way, the two enemies, Shi Kefa and Ma Shiying, quarreled for a long time, and finally Shi Kefa compromised, and Ma Shiying planned to go to guard Suzhou in person.

In fact, Xuzhou is what everyone is most worried about, especially Yan Yingyuan, who everyone has no idea about, but this person is Zhu Youjian's own soldier.

The two most important cabinet members can naturally think of the difficulties of Jiangbei's defense line. The way they both thought of was to fill in their old lives.

On the contrary, Qian Qianyi, another cabinet minister, decided to stay in Nanjing to raise money and food.

"Brother Yaocao, you must come back alive. If Suzhou can't hold on anymore, then retreat to Xuzhou." Shi Kefa sent Ma Shiying off outside Yangzhou City, and saluted Ma Shiying respectfully.

"Don't worry! I will definitely come back and fight with you for a few more rounds." Ma Shiying raised his head chicly, and he found himself feeling very comfortable now, and he was no longer as nervous as when he met Shi Kefa before. .

Suzhou is different from Xuzhou. Due to the limitations of production conditions and raw materials, compared with Xuzhou's defensive raids, Suzhou's defense raid is like tofu.Some cement was barely distributed, but it was far from enough to build a city like Xuzhou.

Shi Kefa asked Ma Shiying to retreat to Xuzhou when the situation was wrong. It was sincere.
