The news of the Ming army's victory quickly spread back to Suzhou. Hearing that Wu Changqing had defeated the 40,000 Qing army with 8,000 troops, the people all had an incredible expression.
Killing five thousand and capturing tens of thousands of enemy troops, this kind of victory can be achieved by the Ming army. Is this still the Ming army in everyone's impression?
In the past two years, Daming's army has not fought much victory. You lose against Li Zicheng, and you lose against Manchu Tatar. Everyone who loses is getting used to it.
After the surprise, many smiles appeared on the faces of the people. The Ming army won a big victory, and they had another birthday.
More importantly, Wu Changqing is a Han Chinese and will never force them to keep braids. Moreover, judging from Wu Changqing's performance during this period, he is obviously a general who loves the people like his son.
Some time ago, I would rather take the risk of breaking the city than shoot and kill innocent people.
Living under this kind of authority could not be better for the people.
When news of the Qing army's defeat reached the Tang Mansion and Liu Mansion, Tang Yu and Liu Shizao almost fell off the stool.
It was really surprising, they never expected Liu Liangzuo to be so useless. Originally, they thought Liu Liangzuo would definitely win, but it was just a matter of time.
Unexpectedly, Liu Liangzuo, who has an army of tens of thousands, would be so vulnerable. It's all about not being able to attack the city, and it was actually defeated by Wu Changqing.
In this way, they have no chance to seize the soap business, and can only watch Chen Daolin's success in making money.
Of course, this is not the worst thing. The worst thing is that they have had correspondence with Liu Liangzuo before. In the letter, they all expressed their willingness to support Liu Liangzuo, and expressed their willingness to give some help to the Qing army at the right time.
And now, the camp of the Qing army was breached, and Liu Liangzuo fled in embarrassment. Will these letters fall into Wu Changqing's hands?
In case those letters were not burned, that would be a crime. Wu Changqing could use this as an excuse to kill them and ransack their family.
For a while, both Tang Yu and Liu Shizao were in a state of panic, and there was no longer the chat and laughter of the previous period.
They can't even escape, after all, their family business is in Suzhou and its surroundings.
What to do? What to do? What to do?
Tang Yu anxiously sweated on his forehead.
Or, like Chen Daolin, offer family property and beauties?
If an industry with hundreds of thousands of taels of silver would be able to avoid this disaster, Tang Yu could only grit his teeth. However, he is now unsure whether Wu Changqing has obtained those letters.
If not, wouldn't the family property be given away for nothing?
In the Suzhou government office, Wu Changqing summoned the generals to arrange the next military action.
"Next, we need to occupy two important places. One is Wuxi. If we occupy Wuxi, we can resist the Qing army in Nanjing.
Another place is Jiaxing, where you can guard against Li Chengdong's branch in Hangzhou. Keeping these two points, the entire Wusong area can fall into our control. "
Wu Changqing pointed to a simple map and said that the maps of this era are very freehand. The proportions of mountains, rivers and lakes are completely non-standard, and the terrain is even more unmarked.
Wu Changqing refers to Wu Song, which is the place of Shanghai and Jiaxing in Suzhou.
In this era, Songjiang's development is still very backward, just a small county, but Suzhou and Jiaxing are developing well.
This is all because of the ban on seas issued by Zhu Yuanzhang. The Ming Dynasty clearly did not allow business with foreign fleets and could only smuggle privately.
Under this kind of policy, Songjiang's geographical advantages cannot be brought into play, and naturally it has not been well developed.
Only Wu Changqing understands how good the geographical location of Songjiang is, and it has always been the most economically developed city in China in later generations, the Pearl of the Orient.
Now that the West has started large-scale maritime trade, as long as he agrees to those western countries coming to Songjiang to do business, then this place can quickly become prosperous.
What are the benefits of being prosperous, it is naturally a tax. The very important thing in fighting is money. If you don't have money, everything will go away. With the continuous expansion of the army, Wu Changqing is now under increasing financial pressure.
If the payment cannot be paid in the future, I am afraid it is his turn to be betrayed by his subordinates.
The best way to make money is naturally to create taxes.
Songjiang, a barren land that others look down upon, is a treasure in Wu Changqing's eyes.
Therefore, he desperately wants to control this place and make it his own base camp.
"At the end I will be willing to attack Wuxi."
Liu Hansan took the lead, and the morale of Liu Liangzuo's tribe is now low, and it is a good time to bully them to take credit.
Other people who were slow to respond also followed suit when they saw it. Some are willing to fight Wuxi, while others are willing to take Jiaxing.
"Yes, you can take the 3,000 people in your headquarters, and then let Wang Dafu support your 500 flintlock unit, and take Wuxi as soon as possible. As for Jiaxing, General Dai and General Li are responsible together. General Wang and General Dong are sent by General Dai and General Li. A small number of troops went to capture Songjiang and the surrounding areas. Remember, my troops do not allow robbery and massacre of the people. Once I find them, they will never be merciless."
Wu Changqing ordered.
The whole army was divided into three parts by him. About 4,000 men were deployed to Wuxi, 6,000 men were deployed to Jiaxing, and the remaining 5,000 men were stationed in Suzhou.
When mobilizing the army, Wu Changqing already felt that the original army establishment was not suitable for the current army.
For example, Liu Hansan went to attack Wuxi, relying solely on his headquarters, the troops were enough, but the arms were too single, there was no firearms, no archers. It is a bit inconvenient to assign part of Wang Dafu's army to him.
It is imperative to reorganize the army, and Wu Changqing plans to change the army into a later generation organization, that is, the organization of divisions, brigades, battalions, and companies.
This kind of system is a system that has been tested in countless wars, and countless battle cases have demonstrated the superiority of this kind of system.
Wu Changqing is not a military genius, and he can't think of a better organization, so he is ready to copy directly.
However, these will have to wait until Wuxi and Jiaxing are taken.
Occupying this part of Wusong, he can finally let go of his hands and feet to start construction.
Although he is only sixteen years old this year, he still has a lifespan of at least sixty to seventy years if there is no accident, but construction work is not overnight.
It took 60 to 70 years for the first industrial revolution in Britain to make a train.
Wu Changqing’s systematic help will certainly not take so long, but it is still very difficult to complete the electrical revolution in his lifetime and even enter the information age.
After having this system, he will want to make those advanced things from time to time. Now, he can't wait any longer.
He still wants to go online again in his lifetime, and he doesn't know if this is a luxury.
