Han’s Son is Not a Slave: Chapter 249 help

After the Qing army entered the customs, the Nanming army has been suppressed and beaten by the Qing army. The tragic situation of defeat can no longer be described as losing ground and losing divisions. It is almost a situation of complete collapse. In the Qing Dynasty, several great victories were achieved in Hunan and Guangxi in succession. I am afraid that the small court of Yongli in Anlongfu had already declared its demise. However, since the main forces of the Ming and Qing Dynasties were at a stalemate in Hunan, and after Li Dingguo failed to attack Guangdong twice, the Ming army was obviously weak in succession, and it was no longer the same as when it first came out of Yunnan to fight against the Qing Dynasty two years ago. In the territory of Guangdong where the two kings of the Qing court and the Han army were under the command, General Ling Hai Chen Qice felt the pain of the current situation.

Without territory, there is no source of food and pay, and without food pay and a solid rear support, no army can continue to fight for a long time. As the main force of the Ming army, the original Daxi Army was supported by Yunnan and Guizhou. Therefore, Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo were able to fight repeatedly with the Qing army, but Chen Qice, who had no territory, could only lead thousands of subordinates to live on small overseas islands. support.

Shang and Xiachuan Island is very small, and there are no residents on the island. On weekdays, only fishermen occasionally rest here. How can such a barren land support thousands of people under Chen Qice? , first to regain lost ground, and secondly to support his subordinates.

However, after a few years, Chen Qice still can only look at Lu Xingtan. It is not that he did not try to seize the towns on the shore as a base, but several times he went ashore and was defeated by the Qing army stationed there, and he had no choice but to return to Shangxiachuan Island. Wait for the situation to change. This time, he insisted on leading his troops into Tanjiang to rescue the Xinhui. In addition to knowing the strategic importance of the Xinhui to the Ming army, why didn't he take this opportunity to seize several cities of the Qing army and find a safe haven for the navy. land plan.

However, after going ashore, the fight between his subordinates and the Qing army dispelled Chen Qice's idea. Although the Qing army was generally defeated, the Han army's bannermen, who were the main force, were defeated but not chaotic, and they were even able to defeat the chasing navy on the way to defeat. Let Chen Qice understand that with his existing strength alone, he cannot defeat the Qing army and regain lost territory.

On the way into the city, the old general had already made plans. As long as the spoils were divided, he would lead his troops along the river to attack some places where the Qing army was weak. After obtaining food and grass supplements from these places, they were withdrawn to Shang and Xiachuan Island. Only a small number of general Zheng Chengkui's troops were left in Xinhui to cooperate with the Taiping army, and they were also responsible for controlling the Xinhui section of Tanjiang to the river side of the sea.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Shixiang made a suggestion that Chen Qice couldn't believe. He actually wanted to give up Xinhui City!

Because of being too excited, Chen Qice's beard trembled, and Wu Yuan and the others stared at Zhou Shixiang with wide eyes.

"Xinhui was seized by Brother Zhou and his subordinates in a **** battle, and it was held for several months under the siege of the Qing army. It is such a strong city. Brother Zhou is really willing to give it to this old man? Where to rest?"

Chen Qice was very puzzled. According to Qi Hao, the Taiping army led by Zhou Shixiang was Xinhui City, which was captured by the Qing army all the way from Luo Ding. Apart from Xinhui City, the Taiping army had no other territory. Now the Taiping Army not only won the Xinhui, but also held the Xinhui. The Qing army was newly defeated, and there is no possibility of returning in the short term. Zhou Shixiang did not take this opportunity to repair his troops. To raise food and grass to supplement strength, but to give up the site, what are you planning to do?

This question is not only puzzled by Chen Qice, but even more puzzled by Wu Yuan and other generals of the Chen Department. The concept of traditional territory makes them not understand Zhou Shixiang's move to give up the city at all. These days, only with territory can we have strength, and with strength can we survive. Without territory, especially in a strong city like Xinhui, what the Taiping Army wants to do. What is Zhou Shixiang going to do?

The officers of the Taiping Army who accompanied Qin Zhisheng were also puzzled by Zhou Shixiang's intentions, but they did not ask questions, because they knew that every decision of Qianhu was for the Taiping Army and for them.

Facing the confusion of the crowd. Zhou Shixiang smiled slightly, and he calmly said to Chen Qice: "Why don't you give up? Xinhui City is my Daming land, not my Taiping Army's private land, let alone my Zhou Shixiang's private property, the old general is Ling Hai, who was conferred by the imperial court. General, the general's subordinates have more soldiers and more generals. It is far from what my Taiping Army can match. Therefore, it is far more suitable for the new meeting to be handed over to the old general than to me, Zhou Shixiang. I believe that with the ability of the old general, Xinhui City will definitely be If it is invincible, our Daming army will continue to rush to Guangzhou from Xinhui until the two bastards, Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao, who have betrayed their ancestors, will be driven out of Guangdong!"

He added, "As for the whereabouts of my Taiping army, I will not hide it from the old general. When I led my troops to capture Xinhui a few months ago, I decided to continue southward to the Xiangshan area. Unexpectedly, our army had not had time to move and called the Qing army. The city has been besieged. After defending the city for several months, our army's vitality has been greatly damaged. Today, there are less than four or five soldiers. This weak strength is no longer enough to defend the new club. Therefore, the younger generation wants to send the new member to the old general. Our army After leaving Xinhui, we will advance to the Xiangshan area. The old general can rest assured that our Taiping army has sworn to the Qing court since the establishment of the battalion. Therefore, our army will continue to attack the Qing army after reaching Xiangshan. Yes, in this way, the pressure on the old general's side will also be less. If we can wait until the army of the King of Xining moves east, the recovery of Guangdong Province can be expected." When talking about the army of King Li Dingguo of Xining, Zhou Shixiang's voice was obviously much quieter. .

Hearing Zhou Shixiang's words, Chen Qice was very moved. He didn't think about why Zhou Shixiang finally lowered his voice. He was moved and persuaded: "Xiangshan is right under the eyes of Guangzhou. It's not easy to get there."

Zhou Shixiang said: "Xinhui is also under the eyes of the Qing army, and it is the southwest gate of Guangzhou. It is also not easy for the old general to guard here."

The two looked at each other, laughed, and said no more.

"There is one more thing for the junior, I hope the old general can help."

"You said ~www.mtlnovel.com~ as long as the old man can do it, it will be done for you."

Zhou Shixiang gave up Xinhuicheng, and there was nothing else Chen Qice didn't want to help.

Zhou Shixiang said: "There are many old, weak, women and children in our army, and the younger generation can't lead them to Xiangshan by land, so I asked the old general to be able to transport our soldiers to the other side by boat."

Hearing this, Chen Qice waved his hand indifferently and said, "This is a small matter, don't worry, this old man will transport all of your Taiping Army to the other side."

"Thank you old general!"

Zhou Shixiang bowed deeply, and he was completely relieved about how to cross the river. Otherwise, he really did not know how to bring the thousands of old and weak women and children from the rear camp to Xiangshan. Xinhui is not fake, but it is also a Jedi. If the Taiping army stays here, they will only be nailed to the ground by the Qing army, and they will not move a step. Handing it over to Chen Qice is a move. Unlike the Taiping Army, Chen Qice's team is originally a navy. As long as he controls Tan Jiang, Chen Qice, who has a navy in hand and a strong city to rely on, can play a bigger role than him. much more.

Xinhui City Zhou Shixiang was willing to let him go, and the next thing was much simpler. To be continued.
