Chapter 180: Go west along the river
After the list of compensation they demanded was listed, Wang Lifu wanted to scold Fang Guoan when he saw it. It was impossible to agree to such a condition.
Apart from other things, one million catties were required for food alone, which was enough for Fang Guoan and the others to eat for a few months.
In addition to food, he also asked for five hundred thousand military salaries. This was for Fang Guoan to sell his wife and concubine together.
Liu Hansan and the others made prices all over the sky. Fang Guoan sat down to pay back the money after receiving the list. The two sides wrangled with each other several times, and finally settled on 500,000 catties of grain, 10,000 taels of silver and more than 20 beauties.
These were all collected by Fang Guoan in Huzhou, and it was obviously impossible for him to pay for it himself.
With the benefit, Wu Jun retired with joy. Grain is of course used as military rations. Ten thousand taels of silver is not much, and it can be used to improve the life of the army. The generals of Wu Jun dare not embezzle these things, for fear of being punished by Wu Changqing.
Of the twenty-odd beauties, except for the two most beautiful ones who were picked out and sent to Nanjing, the others were taken by those senior generals.
Subsequently, the Wu army retreated to Guangde, leaving a small portion of troops to garrison, and the remaining large troops returned to Tongling to prepare for the next military operation.
Compared with other mountainous areas, Wu Changqing prefers the plains on both sides of the Yangtze River.
These places are flat, with a lot of fertile land, and very rich. Moreover, relying on the Yangtze River, water transportation is developed, which is also convenient for the Wu army to dispatch troops and transport logistics materials.
Therefore, their next task is to fight west along the Yangtze River, targeting Chizhou, Jiujiang, Nanchang and other places.
On April 10, a fleet arrived in Tongling, carrying a large number of soldiers and various military materials.
On the side of Jiujiang is the main force of Luck Dehun, with about 60,000 Eight Banners soldiers, and about 80,000 green camps, with a total force of nearly 150,000 troops.
This number is still quite terrifying. In order to wipe out the last force of the Manchus in the south of the Yangtze River, Wu Changqing drew 30,000 main force to reach Tongling.
With the addition of Tongling's original army of 50,000, the total strength has reached 80,000, which is enough to compete with the Qing army.
Although the number of the 80,000 army is far less than the Qing army, their weapons and equipment are advanced.
Among the 80,000 troops, the flintlock troops alone have reached 15,000. This is all thanks to the expansion of Nanjing Weapon Workshop. Nowadays, the manufacturing speed of flintlocks has been getting faster and faster.
Together, Nanjing and Suzhou produce nearly 7,000 sticks per month. Give them another year, and they will be able to build a 100,000-strong flintlock unit, which will be truly invincible at that time, and it will be impossible to find an opponent in the world.
In addition to the 15,000 flintlock unit, there is also a 15,000 matchlock unit.
There are also five thousand archers, five thousand grenadiers, and sixty artillery pieces.
Excluding 10,000 naval forces and cavalry troops, there are only more than 20,000 infantry soldiers using cold weapons, and the proportion of cold weapons troops is steadily declining.
This joint force is under the nominal command of Li Shaobin, and the specific combat plan is formulated by the General Staff.
Several high-level military experts, such as Dai Zhijun, Tao Dongcheng, An Fugui, and Xiong Rulin, have gathered in the general staff.
After studying at the Military Academy for a period of time, Xiong Rulin also passed the assessment and expressed his willingness to be loyal to Wu Changqing, so he was also placed in the core position of the military and became one of the decision-makers.
As for Qian Sule, he was still struggling in his heart. He just kept studying in the military academy and didn't ask Wu Changqing for a position.
The news that Tongling had assembled a heavy army quickly reached Chizhou, and then to Luck Dehun's ears in Wuchang, making him nervous.
There is only one reason for Tongling to gather heavy troops, that is, the other party is going to attack itself. It is absolutely impossible to attack the mountainous areas of Huangshan, nor is it possible to attack Jiangbei.
Although Luck Dehun had never directly played against Wu Jun before, he had to be jealous because of Wu Jun's terrifying record.
Luck Dehun thought that he and Boluo were both at the same level. Boluo was defeated in the hands of Wu Jun and even lost his life. It is difficult for him to do better.
Although they now know Wu Jun quite well, it is not enough to rely on understanding, and they have to have the corresponding weapons and equipment to deal with the fight.
Unfortunately, they currently do not have such equipment.
It is said that the North Weapon Workshop has cracked the new weapons, has successfully imitated the grenades, and the flintlock guns are almost ready to figure it out.
However, even if the equipment is manufactured, it will be given priority to supply the main force in the north.
And his army can only use those traditional weapons at present.
How to resist their firepower suppression?
Luckder wanted to withdraw all the army back to the north, save his strength first, and wait until he was equipped with new weapons before he came to a decisive battle with Wu Jun.
However, he was reluctant to part with this large fertile area around Nanchang, Jiujiang. These were all he snatched from He Tengjiao's hands, and the fat in his mouth was let out, which was too painful.
Moreover, the court did not order him to retreat. The Qing court also wanted to keep a piece of land south of the Yangtze River, so that when he went south in the future, he would not have to face the natural dangers of the Yangtze River.
If Jiujiang and other places were lost, Manchuria really had to consider a plan to rule the river by dividing the river. Because facing the powerful Wu Jun, it is too difficult to forcibly cross the Yangtze River.
"General, we must take precautions as soon as possible. We must send heavy troops to Jiujiang to guard this bridgehead."
Luck Dehun's subordinate Azali said that at present their main force is concentrated in the Wuchang Yueyang area, and they are chasing He Tengjiao.
But after learning that Wu Jun had assembled his troops, someone immediately hoped to deploy heavy troops to Jiujiang for defense.
As for He Tengjiao here, they are not worried.
After playing for a few months, they all understood He Tengjiao's abilities, and they were just mediocre people. Transferring the main force to Jiujiang, they may not be able to attack He Tengjiao, but the defense is still okay.
"I'm afraid that the heavy troops will not be able to hold it in the past. At that time, it will be difficult to retreat. I think it is better to give up the territory of Jiujiang to Wu Jun, and we will guard the north."
Some generals are already afraid of fighting with Wu Jun and want to shrink back.
Relying on the big battle with Boluo in Nanjing, Wu Changqing's name is now resounding throughout China. Even the Gui Wang Zhu Youlang of Yunnan knows that Wu Changqing can fight very well.
The Qing army had a deeper understanding of Wu Changqing's Wu Jun, and they did not dare to take it lightly.
"What a joke, give Jiujiang and other places to the enemy without fighting. The court asks who will be responsible for the crime? Moreover, even if the Wu army is strong, they are not invincible. As long as we take precautions in advance and build a good defense The fortifications may not be unstoppable. You know, our military strength is tens of thousands more than the enemy's."
Azali is a firm main fighter, and Wu Jun's reputation does not frighten him.
"It's definitely impossible to flee without a fight. You should think about specific combat strategies."
Luck depressed the tone and must play.
As for how to fight specifically, it's up to everyone to work out a solution.
