Chapter 370 Hong Chengchou

Wu Sangui thought about the pros and cons carefully and felt that he had to give up Wuchang. Giving up Wuchang is the wisest choice. If you stick to Wuchang Mansion, you may be surrounded on all sides.

Wuchang Mansion is on the edge of the Yangtze River and is also in the middle of China. If he is Wu Sangui, he will put all his experience on Wuchang. Once the Pingbei army in Guizhou, Yunnan, Jiangsu and other places surrounds him, he will always run out of food one day.

It's better to leave first than to defend Wuchang. There is no need for others to talk about the current situation in the world. Wu Sangui can also see it clearly. Wu Sangui knows very well who Li Dingguo is. He knew the news that Li Dingguo had submitted to Liu Xia a long time ago. In this way, he will soon face the siege of Liu Xia's four legions.

The world is unified by Liu Xia, which is just a matter of time, but Wu Sangui does not want to surrender, because even if he surrenders to Liu Xia, the final ending will definitely die.

So Wu Sangui began a large-scale forced conscription in Wuchang City, and soon an army of 200,000 people came out. Because it is a strong conscription, the combat effectiveness of this army can be imagined. After the conscription, Wu Sangui soon asked people to protect the precious things in the Wuchang Palace, as well as his concubines and the families of the civil and military ministers, and prepared to move south.

At the same time, he also shouted out the title of having 200,000 soldiers and horses, that is, to tell Ma Peng, who is not far away, to tell Ma Peng not to mess with him.

Liu Xia from Luoyang soon got the feedback from Ma Peng, and at the same time, the Northwest Capital Division also began to be in a hurry. The Jungar Khanate, together with other Tatar tribes, took the lead in attacking the capital in the northwest. Ethnic minorities in northern Shaanxi and Qinghai and southwest Shaanxi also began to rebel. The 40,000 people in the northwest are now not enough.

Then the news returned from the northeast Lushun. Dorgan's 50,000 reinforcements attacked Jinzhou. His White Tiger Army has been dead for several days and has killed and injured a lot. Due to the disparity in troops, if there are no reinforcements, I'm afraid Jinzhou will be lost. Although Liu Xia has photographed the soldiers and horses of a brigade before, it is not enough at all.

Li Gu from Yunnan also received news that some of their troops were attacked by the Burmese military, so they fought with Myanmar. He also asked Liu Xia to send troops to help.

The original good form seems to be gone all of a sudden.

Only the flamboyant Fire and Phoenix Legion has not been sent back at this moment.

Liu Xia immediately ordered the Military Department to coordinate with the Logistics Department and supplement the strength of each legion. The eight regiments of the Kui Wolf Legion, the Beast Legion, the Rosefinch Legion, the White Tiger Legion, the Green Dragon Legion, the Xuanwu Legion, the Iron Lion Legion and the Griffin Legion were all added to 50,000. That is to say, the number of each legion has more than doubled. Fortunately, the reserve recruits and local garrison stored in Liu Xia's new barracks are enough to directly pull the recruits to the battlefield.

The strong men selected from the local garrison of each house will soon be replenished. Of course, it will take some time for these soldiers to reach their respective armies.

Beijing

After a period of pursuit, the 5,000 people sent by Li Wen caught up with some officials who fled with Dorcon. Because there are too many people, the speed of their escape is not the same, and the furthest distance between them is hundreds of miles.

Finally, I learned that among the dozens of officials arrested, there were many Han officials. One of the biggest officials is the famous traitor Hong Chengchou. Hong Chengchou began to be an official in the Ming Dynasty, but after the defeat of Songshan, he surrendered to the tazi and began his own traitor life. Historically, he helped Dorgom calm down the world and became the founding minister of the Taran.

But what is funny is that during the Qianlong period, he was recognized as the minister of Qianlong. The reason is that Qianlong thought that he betrayed the people who surrendered the Ming Dynasty and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, so he was included in the History of the Qing Dynasty.

Li Wen, Wang Shitou and Zhang Liang both know Hong Chengchou. The reason why they know him is that Hong Chengchou's reputation is really good. Among the traitors written by Liu Xia, he is definitely in the top five. Now it ranks second only to Fan Wencheng in the Qing court.

Li Wenwang, Stone and Zhang Liang couldn't hide their happiness when they caught such a big man.

"Should we kill him now and send his head to Luoyang, or escort him directly to Luoyang?"

Wang Shitou still thought that it would be better to cut off his head directly and kill him quickly.

But Li Wen has other considerations. Hong Chengchou is the person Liu Xia has explained, and he can't deal with it at will. If it's okay for Hong Chengchou to die in the war, it doesn't matter how he splits his body. But now Hong Chengchou is fine, so he can't make his own decisions. Otherwise, it is easy to be regarded as contempt for Liu Xia's authority.

Li Wen said, "General, we'd better escort him to Luoyang. After all, this man has been explained by the prince before. Maybe the prince has his own considerations. We can't make a decision without authorization.

Zhang Liang also said, "The military division is reasonable. It's better to leave this man's extraordinary traitor and lackey to the prince.

Although Wang Shitou wanted to cut himself with a knife, when he heard the words of the two, he had to swallow that thought back into his stomach and said, "In this case, send him to Luoyang. I won't cut him down."

Soon the soldiers put the shawls in tattered official uniforms, and Hong Chengchou, who threw the hat on his head, was handcuffed with bracelets and anklets, and escorted them to the torture car. At the same time, there were fifteen other traitor officials with him. They went to Luoyang under the protection of a battalion of soldiers. The reason for using a battalion's strength is, of course, to consider the safety of these people along the way. You can't let them have an accident before they arrive in Luoyang.

Hong Chengchou is now an old man, 61 years old, with layers of wrinkles on his forehead. The hair has been gray for a long time. The turbid eyes are full of endless regret. At this point, he regretted a little. He always wanted to live the rest of his life safely, but he knew that he was doomed to be unable to live safely until the day of old age.

"General, the news from Luoyang Military Division, the Military Division asked us to add the strength to 50,000. Here is the specific plan." With that, Zhang Liang handed over a thick document to Wang Stone, which was actually shown to Li Wen. Because Wang Shitou can't read.

The Military Division has arranged arrangements for them on the document, and the position of each soldier is well arranged. They are not allowed to have more than one person, nor can they be less than one person.

Wang Shishi nodded and said, "Just get ready. I'll go to practice martial arts." Wang Shi usually doesn't care about this kind of thing. Before, when he was the commander of the Rosefinch Legion, he was a deputy manager. Now he has become the commander of the Northwest Capital Division, and has also handed over these matters to the deputy Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang then went out and began his work.

Besides, the navy now has basically nothing to do except the materials and personnel escorting to Liaodong. So they began to develop North Korea again. At the same time, a small number of sailors were sent into Japanese waters and landed on some islands around Japan for exploration.

The North Korean base has been built at this moment, and more than 5,000 troops have been sent there. And 5,000 people were also recruited locally. Now Yu Mingjun is responsible for the war in Liaodong, so the person who manages North Korean affairs has become a white dream tiger.

Bai Menghu collected some ships and let 500 sailors and 2,000 convened Korean soldiers land on Kyushu Island, Japan.

Kyushu Island is a large island in Japan, and there are a lot of people on it. However, it is still desolate compared with Honshu Island.

When 2,500 people landed on Kyushu Island, the Japanese warriors on Kyushu Island besieged one after another. There were more than 300 warriors. They didn't care about the small number at all, so they picked up the samurai sword and rushed up. It doesn't matter whether it's an enemy or a friend.

Responsible for the landing was the battalion commander of Yang Wu School of the Water Army. He was angry and ordered the soldiers to start a counterattack. Those North Korean soldiers were killed and injured due to insufficient training. Soon morale was vented, and more than 2,000 people were chased and killed by more than 300 people. This made the battalion commander really unbearable, so he ordered the navy to rush up.
