Chapter 253: Sent to the door to surrender
The northern front of the army was finally changed. As the number of new soldiers was sent, the transformed old subordinates of the Sanfan tribes were quickly adjusted to the north. Li Dingguo, Mu Jianming and Li Xiao had three northern generals in Kunming, Sichuan, Yunnan, Guangxi, Guangdong, Fujian and Guizhou. In addition to the 100,000 veterans, there were 30,000 old subordinates of the Sanfan tribes who were sent to Haidu for training and 20,000 new recruits. If they wanted to launch an offensive against the 300,000 Green Camp, they still had a great chance of winning. At least three generals were very confident.
The three of them first received the imperial edict from the governor's office, and then returned to Mu Jianming's general army office and began to discuss the situation. Li Dingguo's opinion was to gather superior forces to attack Shaanxi first. Shaanxi's strategic position was not important for the Battle of Jiangnan. However, Li Dingguo believed that Wang Fuchen in Shaanxi was an old general of Wu Sangui, and his subordinates were mostly old subordinates of the Three Feudatories and were not very loyal to the Qing Dynasty. Wang Fuchen was a cautious person. Li Dingguo once sent an envoy to persuade him to surrender. Although he did not make him turn against him, he secretly kept a move and was extremely polite to the envoy. He also secretly gave it to Shaanxi, and did not report the matter to the Qing court. From this, it can be seen that Wang Fuchen was still hesitating and did not dare to surrender to Nanming, but also leaving a way out for himself.
Unwilling to offend the Southern Ming Dynasty. Li Dingguo's meaning was very clear. Since Wang Fuchen hesitated, he would launch superior forces to fight in Shaanxi to force the northwest horse Yaozi to change the flag and change the banner. In this way, the power of the Southern Ming Dynasty was added to the point. On the contrary, the power of the Qing Dynasty was also weakened. Once Shaanxi was obtained, Wang Fuchen's army threatened Hubei, Henan, Shanxi, and especially Shanxi, which was the most important way for the Southern Ming to enter Beijing. The fall of Shaanxi would be another huge shock to the Qing court. More troops would be transferred to Shanxi and other provinces. At that time, the troops would be concentrated to fight on the Jiangnan line. In this way, the Qing army would be unable to go south to support, and even had to draw the green camp on the front line of the Yangtze River to assist Shanxi to prevent accidents.
Li Dingguo's strategy was extremely cautious, and this method of fighting against the west was very stable. However, the two young generals, Mu Jianming and Li Xiao, put forward different opinions. This time the emperor launched the Jiangnan Battle, aiming to occupy Liangjiang, Huguang and other provinces in Jiangnan. Therefore, it is better to occupy Hunan first and then fight to the decisive battle.
Mu Jianming and Li Xiao were both impatient and wanted to start a decisive battle immediately. They were not willing to delay the delay and wasting time with Wang Fuchen. After a while, the guards at the door came to report. Someone asked to see General Mu Jianming. Mu Jianming shook his head. This meeting was extremely important, so no one would disturb him. He waved: "I am very busy, so I will ask that person to come again next time."
The school hesitated for a moment and said, "Sir General, this person is said to be a confidant of the General of the Hunan Green Camp of the Qing Dynasty."
The three generals couldn't help but change their faces. It was really said that Cao Cao and Cao Cao had arrived. Just as they were discussing to march into Hunan, the Hunan generals came. Now, due to the withdrawal of the Eight Banners of the Yangtze River, the admirals of the provinces also led the elite Eight Banners to Liaodong, and the military power fell into the hands of the Green Camp General. But the problem is that although the Green Camp consists of Han people, all senior officers are Manchus. The general of the Hunan Green Camp is named Kohado, a Manchu of the Zhengbai Banner. What did he ask people to do?
Li Dingguo stroked his beard and did not make a sound. The reason was very sufficient. It was just that the Manchus surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, and he did not dare to make random decisions.
Seeing that Li Dingguo did not answer, Li Xiong continued to say disrespectfully: "What does sir mean? Can you give me a correct letter? The villain can also go back and report to Lord Kohado."
Li Ding Guodao: "You can rest for two days here first, and I will talk about other things later."
Li Xiong nodded: "This is a big deal. The three generals should discuss it carefully, so Li will say goodbye first."
After Li Xiong withdrew, Li Dingguo asked Mu Jianming and the others, "Look, how credible is this person's words?"
Mu Jianming said: "What this person said is not completely unreasonable, it should be five points."
Li Xiao nodded: "Father, according to my opinion, it is better to call the people from the Northern Fushi Department to ask."
Li Dingguo thought for a while and said, "This is the reason." So he called a personal soldier and asked him to invite Qianhu, the Fushishi, who was stationed in Kunming, to come over.
Nowadays, there are many sub-districts in the north and north. They are divided into various provinces, and the occupied areas are even more active. Qianhu, a Qianhu of the Nanfusi, was originally from the Tiandihui Society. Now he has followed the chief Chen to establish the Nanfusi. Now he has mastered the intelligence power of Yunnan Province. When he heard the summoning of Li Dingguo, he did not dare to neglect it. He was anxious and felt that the General Army Office was in charge. After reporting to him, he found a seat to sit down.
Li Dingguo asked him: "Can Kohado, the general of the Hunan Green Camp, have his information?"
Qianhu replied: "Yes, this person has the military and political affairs of Hunan Province. There are detailed information on the North and South Towns and Fushi. If the prince has any questions, he can ask about it. In the end, he will not dare to deceive him."
Then Qianhu told the information of Kohado one by one. Kohado was an important target of spying, so there was no need to check the files. Qianhu also remembered clearly. Li Dingguo and the other three listened carefully and repeatedly confirmed the information given by Qianhu to Li Xiong's conversation. Li Xiong did not lie. Kohadona was a member of the Zhengbai Banner. Because he was involved in the dispute between Huangbai Banner, the farm outside the pass was stolen by a Niulu of the Yellow Banner, and several slaves were injured. This person was Suksaha's nephew. After Suksaha was convicted, the whole family was exiled to Ningguta, and some relatives also had many relatives.
After some trouble, Kohado escaped for some reason. Later, Oboi was in charge of the Southern Military and led 30,000 cavalry battalions to station in Xiangtan. He was also embarrassed by the general of the Green Camp of Zhengbai Banner. Fortunately, Nanming threatened Hunan, Oboi had to retreat to Jiangxi, which allowed Kohado to escape again. Judging from his experience, it is not impossible to surrender to Nanming. After all, it is difficult to live a difficult life if he is oppressed and bullied. If he can defect to Nanming and become a marquis like Zhao Fu, it is better to live a peaceful life than to live a frightened life.
Mu Jianming showed joy on his face: "Since he is willing to surrender, we have no reason not to accept it. Once Hunan is restored, we will save a lot of time. If we launch a surprise attack on the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, there will be more chances of winning in this battle."
Li Dingguo’s father and son nodded, but Li Dingguo still could not determine whether this person was a real or a fake surrender. It would be better if he was a real surrender. Once he was a fake surrender, it would be difficult to deal with it. He knew the truth that one step was wrong and he would lose everything in the market.
