Chapter 203 The so-called counterattack
The dead are like this, never leaving the day and night.
The expected military counterattack of the Ming court was probably a bit ridiculous.
Emperor Chongzhen issued an order to use Hou Xun, Yang Wenyue's troops and Huang Degong's troops in Fengyang to advance troops in three directions to attack Ying Yi.
Among them, the seven towns of Baoding, governed by Hou Xun, were the most troops, with more than 70,000 people. With the troops of Yang Wenyue and Huang Degong, the total number exceeded 150,000. If the tactical cooperation is appropriate, it may not cause some trouble to Ying Yi.
But in the actual operation, the three soldiers and horses had their own plans and their own thoughts. Hou Xun, the commander of the seven towns in Baoding, only clamored on the other side of the river north of Kaifeng, and there was no sign of crossing the river to advance. Yang Wenyue was even more miserable. He probably had long legs and walked fast. Among the three soldiers, he was the first to send troops, but he was also the first to fail.
Just after sending troops from Huguang to Nanyang, Yu Xinye encountered two elite troops led by Zheng Wushu. Zheng Wu defeated the majority and died in the chaos.
The defeat of Yang Wenyue shocked Huguang. Fortunately, Zheng Wu's troops did not take advantage of the situation to go south, and Huguang was a little relieved after being frightened.
For Ying Yi, even if the army that Huguang has no resistance, for the time being, he will not enter Huguang. Before Henan's basic structure has stabilized, no matter how large the territory it is, it will be a castle in the air.
Countless people are hungry and waiting for farming thousands of miles to the ground. Moreover, the situation between Huguang and Henan is different. Huguang has suffered much less poison than Henan. Many stubborn forces are mixed and need to take a lot of effort to clean it up.
It’s not too late to wait until the basic market stabilizes and take action when it’s time to clean up.
After Hou Xun and Yang Wenyue, Huang Degong was the last one. Compared with Hou Xun's fearlessness and Yang Wenyue's greed for progress, Huang Degong neither shook nor advanced nor made progress, but he lost the opportunity.
Huang Degong was the general of Fengyang and sent troops from Fengyang Prefecture. He either went east, like Zhang Xianzhong, crossed the Dabie Mountains to attack Runing Prefecture, or went north to Bozhou, attacked Guide Prefecture and entered Kaifeng Prefecture.
Huang Degong chose Bozhou.
But he sent troops half a month late. When Huang Degong's army passed by Bozhou, Zhu Bingkun had already captured the Tongguan Guard and left a group of troops. Then he returned to the east, attacked Guide Prefecture, and occupied Shangqiu.
Later, he defeated Huang Degong in Luyi and drove Huang Degong back to Fengyang Mansion.
In this way, the so-called counterattack of the Ming court would dissolve.
As for the governor of the canal and Shi Kefa, who governed the provinces along the canal, I'm sorry, they are still waiting for the emperor's imperial edict.
"Yang Wenyue died, Huang De defeated, Hou Xun shrank, but Shi Kefa was undecided, and the Ming court's counterattack probably ended here." Ying Yi put down the battle report: "The Ming court has no spare strength. Since the beginning of this year, many large armies have been deployed to wipe out their vitality, not to mention that the Tartars in Liaodong are still cutting off their flesh on the Ming court. Zhu Bingkun and Zheng Wu were ordered to guard the key points, mainly defending the Ming court, and mainly cooperating with the law enforcement department to suppress bandits. Before the end of the year, I will see a peaceful and peaceful Henan."
After waving the messenger back, Ying Yi smiled and said to a thin old man with gray hair next to him: "What do you think Sun Gong?"
But it turned out to be Sun Chuanting.
Earlier, Sun Chuanting was defeated and rescued by Ying Yi, and was sent to Xiangcheng at that time. Later, before entering Kaifeng, he was sent to Crescent Valley and was still in there.
I was just trapped in the house for a long time, like an ostrich, and rarely showed up.
Just a few months ago, Sun Chuanting seemed to be twenty years old and his spirit was extremely depressed.
Listening to Ying Yi's inquiries like a show-off, Sun Chuanting opened his hair and shouted, "Yang Wenyue is a fool, Huang Degong is not good at seizing the opportunity, and he will be defeated. However, 70,000 troops in the seven towns of Baoding are not easy! Hou Xun is an idiot. When you see you, a traitor, embrace Kaifeng, the emperor will definitely change people. Then you, the thief, will be uncomfortable!"
Ying Yi did not think it was offended and laughed and said, "Then Mr. Sun, please count it. If you go to Hou Xun, which one should I change? It's not that I, Ying Yi, underestimated the Ming court, but the country's generals were destroyed. There were no good ministers or good generals. If Lu Xiangsheng was here, I would still be afraid of one or two. If Cao Wenzhao was here, I would also be afraid of one or two. However, all these two were destroyed. Sun was here, and the rest were fools. Why not be afraid of it? Don't say that the army of 70,000 is 700,000, it would be in vain."
"Oh, by the way. There is another old general, I admire it very much." Ying Yi suddenly remembered and said, "The Qin Liangyu, the old general of Sichuan, has outstanding military strength and is rare in history. I respect it deeply. If this old general comes, I will also find it difficult. However, it is not that the old general is invincible, but that I do not want to fight against this old general."
Speaking of this, he sighed: "This is not a crime of war, but a country's decay and inability to recover. Even if Qi Jiguang and Grandpa Qi are resurrected, they are not able to turn the tide."
Sun Chuanting was silent.
After a long time, he said, "How did you deal with me? Could it be that you were so house arrested until death?"
Ying Yi heard this and said, "Mr. Sun is willing to use it for me?"
Sun Chuanting was stunned for a while: "I have no more energy to do."
Ying Yi nodded: "Since that's the case, Mr. Sun will take a break here. When I capture the capital, I will bring Sun Gong's family back. It would be nice to be a rich man."
Sun Chuanting sighed, stood up and bowed, and left tremblingly.
His back is like the Ming court in the mountains, with weakness and decay in the middle.
He walked to the door and suddenly stopped: "It's good, it's good. After all, as long as it's not a thief who wins the world, or a Tartar who wins the world, I'll be satisfied."
Finally, I said: "Hebei is easy to fight, but Jiangnan is not easy. You still have a long way to go."
Ying Yi stood up and bowed: "You can leave with Mr. Sun."
After sitting alone for a while, Ying Yi suddenly laughed. He felt a little emotional. He was actually due to the environment. A brilliant dynasty was about to fall, and what would happen in the future if he replaced it?
There is no need to think too much, Ying Yi is still confident.
Over the past period of time, two of the three components in the production line involved in smelting gold-yuan alloys have been completed. The third shaping component has also begun to be manufactured.
Today, I was also here to report from all over the country, so I took the time to relax.
In fact, for Ying Yi, the report was probably a formality. All the changes were reflected in the humanitarian list and were clearly visible at a glance.
The skyrocketing data shows everything.
Ying Yi
Physical: 14
Soul: 10
True Spirit:3
Root nature: No
True Spirit Number: 80000
Humanitarian number: 200,000
Humanitarian List Quota: 33000/100000
Among them, the number of humanitarian energy and the number of places involved in the humanitarian list can fully reflect the current high-spirited situation under Ying Yi's rule.
When Kaifeng was captured, the human energy increased to 100,000, and now it has doubled in less than a month. It can be seen that both military and political affairs have achieved great achievements.
The number of true spirits has increased from 50,000 to 80,000, which can also show how the army's achievements have been during this period.
