Chapter 181： Reactions from all sides

Everyone talked fiercely, and finally set the tone based on water warfare.

On land, their disadvantages are too great. So they hope to defeat Wu Jun on the water. As long as they defeat Wu Jun's navy and rob or destroy Wu Jun's ships, Wu Jun can only stare at Jiujiang.

Jiujiang and Hukou County to the east are separated by the exit of Panyang Lake. The water surface is as wide as five miles, and it is absolutely impossible to pass without a boat.

It is impossible to bypass Panyang Lake and fight Nanchang from the south. A detour will add heavy logistical burdens and risks to Wu Jun. The combat effectiveness of the logistics force is incomparable with the main force. The Qing army can send ships to attack the Wu army's logistics line at any time.

At that time, if the logistics line were to be broken, Wu Jun might collapse because of the lack of food. At that time, the Qing army could really snicker.

In short, fighting in the dense water network along the Yangtze River is absolutely impossible without ships. If the water army is defeated, the Wu army can only retreat.

It is precisely because of Wu Jun's weakness that many generals of the Qing army pin their hopes on the navy.

However, the Manchu navy was actually not very strong, and the main naval forces were almost all green soldiers. Most of the Eight Banners soldiers in the Manchu Qing Dynasty were dry ducks.

In order to strengthen water power, Luc Dehun has ordered the requisition of ships on the river.

At the same time, the army moved south with the fleet and stationed in Jiujiang, a major military town and a water transportation hub.

The movement of the Qing army is so big, naturally, it is not hidden from He Tengjiao of Hunan. He has arranged a lot of spies on Wuchang in Wuhan.

"The Qing army was building ships, and the army was heading southward along the river, suspected to have returned to Jiujiang. What's the situation?"

He Tengjiao asked.

"Could it be Wu Changqing who started attacking him?"

Yan Qihuan said.

In fact, this is not hard to guess. Wu Changqing, who has already occupied Nanjing, will either attack from the west and occupy places such as Anhui, Jiangxi, or cross the river north, all the way to Beijing.

Compared to crossing the river northward, first calming down the south and removing the rear threat is obviously safer and more in line with the way of using troops.

Therefore, Wu Changqing's attack on Luc Dehun is an inevitable event, and it is only a matter of time.

Now Lek Dehun is sending heavy troops to Jiujiang like a big enemy, obviously to guard against Wu Changqing. In addition to guarding Wu Changqing, no one else deserves him to be so cautious.

"Hahaha, that's what he deserves, and now it's his turn to have a headache."

Zhou Daqi laughed and said, in the previous few months, they had been chased and beaten by Luc Dehun all the way.

And now, it was finally the Qing army's turn to catch fire in the backyard, and they could gloat and watch the excitement.

With Wu Changqing's restraint on Luc Dehun, they can finally breathe a sigh of relief and take time to integrate the army.

Before taking Li Zicheng's remaining army in a brainstorming manner, the number of troops has increased sharply, but the combat effectiveness has not been improved. Many of Li Zicheng's army are scrawny refugees who have not received any military training at all, and most of their physical conditions do not meet the requirements.

These people must be eliminated, keeping them useless and wasting military rations.

"I heard that there is a new type of firecrackers in the Wu Jun. The rate of fire is extremely fast and the power is amazing. They rely on this weapon to defeat the main force of Manchu and Qing with a force of 60,000 in Danyang, Nanzhili. terrible."

He Tengjiao said with emotion that if his troops were so capable of fighting, he would have gone to Beijing a long time ago. When he was at his peak, he had nearly 400,000 troops.

It's a pity, it's all rubbish, trash fish.

Now after several battles, his troops have shrunk to 150,000, of which only about 60,000 to 70,000 elite veterans, and the rest are old and weak that need to be eliminated, as well as some timid and slick.

This kind of sloppy fleeing in a fight will not only fail to contribute to the army, but will greatly damage the morale of the army.

Soldiers are more expensive than elites, not more. After accepting Li Zicheng's troops, He Tengjiao deeply understood the essence of this sentence.

"Maybe we can buy him a batch of new firecrackers to imitate and improve the combat effectiveness of our army..."

Yan Qihuan suggested.

However, he was interrupted by Zhou Daqi before he finished speaking: "Don't count on this. Wu Changqing now obeys the king of Lu but is the supervising state of Lu. We obey the Longwu imperial court. We are not a family. It would be nice if they didn't come to beat us , And want him to sell us weapons, how is it possible."

"Aren't King Lu and King Tang both Da Ming? To enhance our strength, we can also help them contain the Qing army in the rear and share their pressure. The big deal is that we will pay more. In short, we still have to try."

Yan Qihuan didn't give up, never forgetting the flintlock gun.

"It's okay to try, it's the best if you can't, and there's nothing to lose if you fail."

He Tengjiao also had a hint of illusion. After all, everyone was of the Han nationality, and they were all fighting against the Qing Dynasty together.

Thinking of King Lu and King Tang, He Tengjiao was upset again. I was here desperately for their old Zhu family and the Qing army, but the descendants of their old Zhu family were fighting for the throne with one heart, which is really **** absurd.

In Shaoxing, Zhu Yihai also learned of Wu Changqing's big moves, and the army was advancing westward.

Before the change, Wu Changqing went to fight the Qing army to regain the homeland, he must be very happy. But now, he knows Wu Changqing's ambitions. He no longer hopes that Wu Changqing will win. He even hopes that Wu Changqing will suffer both defeats with the Qing army, so that they have a chance to rise from the chaos.

Even if their strength is now weak, even Liu Hansan can't handle them, but they can't kill their ambitions, Zhu Yihai still dreams of dominating the world.

In history, he was beaten by the Qing army and fled to the Zhoushan Islands. He still didn't give up. He wanted to rise again on the territory of so many islands and overthrow the Manchu Qing.

Zhu Yujian also had similar thoughts with Zhu Yihai. After learning about Wu Changqing's westward move, he immediately announced that he would personally go to Ji'an to organize a large army northward to seize the territory around Nanchang.

Because of his love, he is not good at attacking Shaoxing and Hangzhou now, so he can only seize the territory from the north of Jiangxi.

If he could grab Jiujiang, it would be very beneficial to him, so that he could ride down the river at any time and wait for an opportunity to occupy Nanjing.

Although he knew it was difficult, there was always a fantasy, in case there was a chance, for example, the Qing army and Wu Changqing were both injured, such as Wu Changqing suddenly died of smallpox, or Wu Changqing was addicted to female **** and died in bed.

In the troubled times, everything can happen, and it is not that Li Zicheng died accidentally.

As long as Wu Changqing dies, then his opportunity will come.

Zheng Zhilong was naturally unhappy that Zhu Yujian wanted to conquer himself, but he had no way to stop it. At most, he could not send his own soldiers to support him.

Zhu Yujian gritted his teeth with hatred, but he couldn't help Zheng Zhilong. He could only rely on the ministers who supported him to gather a force of 15,000 to go to Jiangxi.

Along the way, relying on the name of the emperor, and then recruiting some troops, it will probably be able to gather two to three thousand people by then.

The number is not small, but this kind of improvised army has a big question mark in its combat effectiveness.

In short, anyone who knows a little bit about military affairs is not optimistic about Zhu Yujian's personal campaign.

However, Zhu Yujian insisted on doing this. He wanted to use his military exploits to establish his prestige and majesty.

Continuing to be controlled by the Zheng family as he does now, he sees no hope.

Among the people of the old Zhu family, Zhu Yujian is still a relatively **** person.
