Chapter 175: The war starts again
After establishing his authority, it was naturally time to set fire. The new official took office for three fires. The first one was to take Yunnan first, and he could not achieve results. Qiqihar was not sorry for his brother-in-law's recommendation, and he was not good at face.
On the second day, Qiqihar summoned the soldiers and began to inspect. There were 5,000 soldiers from the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners in Sichuan, and there were 30,000 green camps. Although the number was not large, it was not small. Qiqihar began to plan military affairs. He summoned all the generals, laid a map in the government office, and guided the country under the crowd of all the generals.
"Now there are 35,000 people in Sichuan, 30,000 troops in Guangxi, and there are nearly 20,000 troops in Guizhou. In addition, the 20,000 troops of the Admiral of Hunan are coming. Our army has a total of 100,000 troops. With such a large force, a small Yunnan, the governor wants to take it, but he can only take things out of his bags." Qiqihar analyzed the advantages of the Qing army with confidence, and met the direction of Kunming City with his fingertips: "We divide our troops into three groups, and attack Kunming City directly. Then the Admiral of Hunan will lead the troops to cut off the passage between Kunming and Myanmar. Let's catch turtles in a jar, and try to catch them all in one place."
"I have already decided on the date of sending troops. Well, I will immediately inform the admirals of Guizhou and Jiangxi Provinces. Ten days later, the three provinces will send troops together. If anyone delays the fighter jet, I will punish him for colluding with the enemy. Do you understand?"
The generals couldn't help but look at each other. Ten days later, it seemed to be too hasty. Not to mention that many of the equipment to go to the expedition were not ready, even the food and grass were not in the military. They really thought that fighting was a house, but everyone had seen Qiqihar's power, and no one dared to object at this time.
"Governor General, the army is about to go on a war. Are the food, grass and weapons ready? Our army knows nothing about the pseudo-Ming army in Yunnan. The spy who went to inquire did not come back so soon. He sent troops in hasty without military food and equipment, nor did he know how many thieves are. He sent troops without authorization and would only take down his own defeat. He also asked the Governor General to take back his life." The speaker was Solotu. A few days ago, he was beaten with twenty military sticks and was very tough. He still continued to be the same as usual every day. Occasionally, he would have some collisions with the Governor General, but both
Fang was considering each other and did not turn against each other in public. After all, Solotu knew that Qiqihar was Oboi's man, and he had to wait for the opportunity to take revenge. Qiqihar was afraid that he was a yellow belt and really dared not bully him too much. At that time, the dog was desperate and he was going to make trouble. Even his brother-in-law might not be able to protect him. After all, the country was still from the Aisin Jueluo family. He was a foreigner bullied the royal family and others could protect him. If something happened to the royal family, wouldn't he be seeking death?
When Solotu was recruited to discuss military affairs, he saw Qiqihar's confident appearance and knew that this guy was purely a pampered bag and was not a material for the commander. When he heard that Qiqihar was about to enter Yunnan in ten days, he was shocked. According to this guy's random fighting style, 100,000 people filled in Yunnan, he might all be powerful. You are an unknown person and you will be beaten and you will be killed. No one will stop him. But the army of the three provinces of Yungui can't accompany you to die. Solotu is the admiral of Sichuan. If you don't persuade him, it would be unreasonable. Otherwise, even if you escape from death in the future, the court will hold him accountable.
"If Lord Suo dares not go, please stay in Sichuan. Hehe, I am in the middle of the dispatch, so there is no need to bother Lord Suo." It would be fine if Solotu didn't say it, but after saying this, Qiqihar felt that he could not hold on to his face and said sarcastically.
Solotu raised his eyebrows and a resentful look flashed in his eyes. After a while, he paused a little and said, "The attack on the pseudo-Ming is the duty of the last general, and everything is sent by the Governor."
Qiqihar Jiansolotu surrendered, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Since that's the case, I will let you take charge of the rear army and supply food and grass to the army."
After Qiqihar finished speaking, he ignored Solotu and knocked on the table on the map and said, "Our army bullies the weak with the strong and attacks the weak with the masses. If we are defeated, we will be sorry to the little master in the capital, Aozhongtang, and the lower ones will be sorry to the soldiers. We are really shameless to see people. Everyone must use their lives to set an example for the soldiers. It is now in the day. In the merit book, our governor will never be greedy for merit and conceal the reports. You can kill the enemy with peace of mind and be willing to listen to the commander." The generals and assistants all had objections.
Yunnan, Kunming.
A line of Jinyiwei was sent to the Jinyiwei Office in Kunming City. The local Jinyiwei Qianhu responded quickly. On the desks of Mu Tianbo and Li Dingguo, a secret report was placed in the center. Before the Ministry of Personnel appointed Yunnan governors, inspectors, and commanding officials of the Three Divisions, the military and political affairs of Yunnan still had to be tacitly understood by Mu Tianbo and Li Dingguo, and Mu Tianbo specifically appeased the local government and handled government affairs. Li Dingguo was responsible for restraining the soldiers, training troops, and allocating defense. As long as the two encountered major events, they would meet and negotiate.
Now, this secret report has brought them together. The content of the secret report is very simple, but it is also very terrifying. Sichuan, Guizhou and Guangxi provinces have divided their troops into three groups, with a total of 100,000 people, including 20,000 elite Manchu and Mongolian cavalry, and hundreds of artillery generals are rushing towards Kunming, covering the clouds and sun.
"Your Highness, what do you think? Is Kunming still defending?" After the two of them circulated the secret reports, Mu Tianbo, who was slightly nervous, asked Li Dingguo on the other side worriedly, because he didn't know much about military affairs.
"Mr. Mu, don't worry." Li Dingguo comforted Mu Tianbo, then narrowed his eyes and thought. Mu Tianbo did not interrupt him, but just looked at his gloomy face and looked at him with anticipation.
Li Dingguo suddenly stood up, as if he quickly went to get the map in the corner to open and check it out, and finally stomped his feet: "Who is the commander of the Qing army?"
Mu Tianbo was slightly stunned and then said, "The secret report said that he was a land man named Qiqihar."
"Qiqihar?" Li Dingguo said in a low voice, then smiled and said, "The Qing people had perished themselves, and they actually let an unknown figure lead the army. This person didn't even understand the basic method of marching. Haha, it really is God blessed the Ming Dynasty."
"How about this?" Mu Tianbo cheered up and a bright light flashed in his eyes.
"Mr. Mu comes here to see." Li Dingguo waved and asked Mu Tianbo to approach the map. He pointed to the distance between the capital and Sichuan: "Beijing and Sichuan are thousands of miles apart. It took Qiqihar to go from Beijing to Sichuan to rush to rush the horse. Now it is only two months before our army captures Kunming. The Qing army is so quick this time that it is definitely not prepared. The commander of the Qing army is probably a young man who does not know how to march and fight."
Mu Tianbo nodded: "Your Highness is right. According to Your Highness, how should we resist the enemy? The enemy divided the troops into three groups, and our army only has 15,000 people in Yunnan. If it is divided, there will inevitably be changes. If there are problems along the way, the Qing army will be at the city, and Kunming will be in danger.
"There is no need to divide the troops to resist the enemy." Li Dingguo waved his hand and said, "We have few soldiers and must not divide the troops to resist the enemy. We should gather into fists and attack the army. As long as the Sichuan army collapses, the Qing Ri from Guangxi and Guizhou will lead 10,000 troops north to fight against the Sichuan Qing army. Mr. Mu will lead 5,000 people to guard Kunming. After I defeat the Sichuan Qing army, we will return to the army to rescue."
Li Dingguo pointed to Yungui again and said, "As long as we dragged most of the Qing army, the reinforcements from Haidu arrived, they could immediately turn to Sigui, Guangxi and other places, and recover a corner of the southwest." Li Dingguo's eyes became hot: "Mr. Mu, this is a great opportunity. We dragged the Qing army, and the emperor then moved from Haidu to the back of the Qing army, and attacked the southwest provinces. The Qing people's rear was empty, so we could definitely go down in one go."
Mu Tianbo also became interested, nodded constantly, his eyes drippingly at the map, and he was stunned: "It is precisely this reason that their light army is advancing rapidly. Can't we use this gap to surround Wei and save Zhao? Your Highness, Mu has another idea, and I would like to ask Your Highness to make an idea and see if it is feasible."
Mu Tianbo licked his mouth and continued, "Your Highness leads an army of 10,000 to attack the Qing army along the Sichuan route. If it is victorious, don't pay attention to Kunming City anymore. Your Highness leads his army to lead the army north, and take advantage of the emptiness of Sichuan to take straight to Chengdu?"
Li Dingguo was silent for a moment and said, "Mr. Mu, there are only five thousand soldiers and horses in Kunming City. If I don't lead the army back to the rescue, the Qing soldiers from Guizhou and Guangxi can march straight into the city. The troops are at the foot of Kunming City. Although the city is wide, how can we defend against the enemy if there are too few soldiers and horses?"
Mu Tianbo said with confidence: "Don't worry, your highness, although Mu does not understand that the army is in Yunnan and collects 20,000 indigenous people to help defend the city, there are still 5,000 Ming troops and hundreds of artillery in Kunming City, which is enough to last for a few months. As long as your highness can break into Sichuan and capture Chengdu, the Qing army under Kunming City will naturally be defeated without any attack."
Li Dingguo's face flushed and he slammed excitedly: "Since Mr. Mu is confident that he can hold on, I will talk to you here. Li promises to defeat the enemy coming from Sichuan and break into Sichuan to capture Chengdu. Then the emperor's reinforcements will attack Guangxi again. Let's have a flower on all sides so that the Qing army cannot defend itself."
"Mr. Mu." Li Dingguo's tone became heavier: "If this battle is defeated, it will not only cause the Ming Dynasty to lose Yunnan, but also yours and I will also be in different places. If you win, then my Ming Dynasty can at least conquer Sichuan and Guangxi, which is a thousand miles of fertile land. We are the same palace as our ministers, and we rarely get together on weekdays. Li has always admired Mr. Mu. It would be better if he did this. Today, Li set up a table of wine and drink a few drinks. Tomorrow, we will divide our troops and go our separate ways to go our future. Even if we die, we will lose a regret."
