Chapter 152： Expansion site

On March 15, Wu Jun, who had been resting for half a month, embarked on a journey of expansion.

At present, Wu Changqing only occupies the area of ​​Nanjing, Changzhou, Suzhou, and Shanghai. Among the many forces, his land is actually the smallest.

Even Zhu Yihai occupies most of Zhejiang, more than four times that of Wu Changqing in terms of site area.

And Emperor Longwu needless to say that his current nominal site is at least dozens of times that of Wu Changqing.

Even the Daxi regime under Zhang Xianzhong to the west was much larger than Wu Changqing.

Of course, the geographical location of those people's sites is far worse than Wu Changqing's.

During this period, the most prosperous area in the country was the Nanjing and Suzhou area.

In Zhu Yihai's site, except for the affluent areas in Hangzhou, other places are continuous mountainous areas. Although the area is four times that of Wu Changqing, the total economic output may not even be a quarter of Wu Changqing's.

In order to expand the sphere of influence, Wu Changqing formulated a strategy of going west and going south after he took Nanjing.

The early goal is to win Wuhu, Tongling, Xuancheng and other places.

These places are some plains south of the Yangtze River, with well-developed transportation, and they are currently in the hands of the Qing army.

Before the development of the navy, it was troublesome to attack north of the Yangtze River, logistics and transportation was a problem, and defense after the occupation was also a problem.

Therefore, occupying the area south of the Yangtze River is the most suitable plan for him.

Currently stationed in Wuhu are the Li Chengdong Department and Zhang Yingyuan Department. They were prepared to support Nanjing, but Nanjing fell halfway there, and they had to retreat.

The main force of the Eight Banners of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties in Nanjing couldn't beat Wu Jun by relying on the city wall. They didn't have the guts to challenge Wu Jun's military might.

The combined forces of Li Chengdong and Zhang Yingyuan are about 60,000, but they are all green soldiers and their combat effectiveness is relatively weak.

Wu Changqing sent the 3rd Division and 11th Brigade of the Second Division. The 11th Brigade was the first brigade in the First Division. With some other auxiliary arms, the total strength reached 30,000.

This time, Wu Changqing did not go to the party, and let Liu Hansan be the commander-in-chief.

At the same time, Wu Changqing also took this opportunity to set up a staff unit.

The tactical level of some officers is actually better than that of Liu Hansan, Wang Dayong and others. However, it cannot be said that it is unfair to Liu Hansan and other veterans to make them more senior officials because they are more capable.

And let these more capable people not need to continue to let Liu Hansan command, it is undoubtedly a waste of talents, and may even lead to defeat in the battle.

The way to solve this problem is to set up a staff department. The specific combat plan will be discussed by people in the staff department, and Liu Hansan is just the last person to make the final decision.

This not only guarantees the power of Liu Hansan and other veterans, but also gives full play to the capabilities of the talents in the staff, and gives those capable officers an opportunity to display their abilities.

In fact, the General Staff is a bit similar to military advisers, except that they have more numbers, more power, and more specific matters.

An advanced staff is still very helpful to the battle.

After all, every battle is a very complex system, and there are many aspects that need to be involved. The formulation of tactics, the support of logistics, the collection of intelligence...

Relying on the personal abilities of a certain general is simply impossible, and must rely on a well-functioning staff.

On the 18th, Wu Jun arrived in Wuhu.

In the city of Wuhu, when Li Chengdong learned that Wu Jun had arrived, he almost couldn't hold the teacup in his hand.

Today is different. Last year, he learned for the first time that Wu Changqing had captured Jiading County, and he didn't take it too seriously at all.

Although Wu Jun defeated his subordinates with fewer victories and more at that time, Wu Jun had only a few hundred people in total, and he couldn't make any waves. But who could have imagined that in more than six months, this army of several hundred people has grown to more than 100,000 people.

If there were only a few hundred thousand people, Li Chengdong wouldn't panic, and he might not be able to defend a hundred thousand people against the city wall.

The Manchu force now has nearly one million troops, which is completely worthwhile in terms of numbers.

What made him flustered was Wu Jun's record. Although he had not personally played against Wu Jun, from the previous record of Wu Jun, he could feel the horror of Wu Jun.

With 60,000 against 120,000, defeated the main force of Qing cavalry in the wild. Within five days, they captured Nanjing where 50,000 troops were stationed.

No matter which battle case was, it was so incredible, comparable to the battle of Guandu, the battle of Chibi, and the battle of Fei Shui.

Facing a prestigious army, Li Chengdong really has no confidence. If he had such a strong self-confidence, he would never surrender before, and he would be Manchu Qing.

The city wall of Wuhu City is not too big, only more than four meters, and it does not have any advantage in front of Wu Jun's firearms.

"Brother Li, I don't think Wuhu can hold it anymore."

Zhang Yingyuan's thinking is the same as Li Chengdong's. After all, he also received those battle reports, felt the power of Wu Jun from the battle reports, and learned about Wu Jun's weird advanced weapons.

"If you can't hold it, you have to hold it. We can't bear the charge of running without a fight. Moreover, we are the barrier of Lucid Humbele, and he is about to defeat He Tengjiao now.

If we flee without a fight and put Wu Jun in the area of ​​Jiujiang to attack the rear of General Luck Dehun, then he still slashes our heads? "

Li Chengdong said helplessly, this is the helplessness of serving as a soldier, and sometimes he has to fight if he knows he can't fight.

Shouyishou might have a way to survive, and Daqing would not be polite with them if they flee without a fight. As for the surrender, their family members were already under the control of the Qing army at this time.

"Relocate your troops stationed in Xuancheng here as well. Anyway, there is no need to garrison there."

Zhang Yingyuan now has no good way to deal with Wu Jun, so he can only increase his own troops as much as possible. A little more people can play some role after all.

As for Xuancheng, it doesn't matter if it is given to Fang Guoan, as long as they hold the city along the Yangtze River, they can guarantee the safety of Luc Dehun's rear.

At present, there are fierce battles in many battlefields across the country. Not only the Wu army is attacking, but Fang Guoan in the Lu regime is also sending troops while Wu Changqing is in Nanjing. He has already occupied Huzhou and Guangde, and is trying to attack Xuancheng.

In Jiangxi, Hunan and other places, Leke Dehun was still chasing He Tengjiao. The Eight Banners soldiers were still quite mighty when facing troops other than the Wu army.

"The situation is difficult, who can think that the situation will change so quickly."

Li Chengdong sighed. Both he and Zhang Yingyuan were surrenders, and the reason for their surrender was almost the same. They believed that the Qing army was very powerful and invincible.

They were all optimistic that the Qing army would replace the Ming Dynasty to unify China, so they chose to take refuge.

At the beginning, their choice seemed to be correct. Until Wu Changqing was born, he continued to defeat the Manchu army, even defeated the main force of the Manchu, captured Hong Chengchou and Azige alive, and killed Aixinjue Luoboluo.

Even Man Dahai, who was Baylor, surrendered to Wu Jun.

This kind of thing was changed half a year ago, and they dare not even think about it.

But now, these things happened so real that they all began to doubt whether their decision to surrender was correct.

If you don't surrender, you can take refuge when Wu Changqing rises, you can not only hold your thighs, but also leave a good reputation.

Unlike now, it is not worthwhile not only to face a crisis, but also to bear infamy.
