Zhu Youdong saw Peng Zhenxi looking at him, and he also felt that Peng Zhenxi would not be bored and just say something useless, so he immediately lowered his head and thought about it. But Zhu Youdong never thought of any connection between this and Zhenzhou Division, and Tan Shuanghua on the side suddenly said: "You don't want Miao people to do this, do you?" Peng Zhenxi said: "Why can't it? In the past, I still thought about going to contact the Miao people after the Zhenzhou Division, but now the Zhenzhou Division will send it directly to the door, which is much easier. ”

Zhu Youdong said: "Can the Miao people do this?" But many of them have already surrendered to the Qing court and are now willing to help us? Peng Zhenxi said: "We weren't sure before, but now it's easy to do things with the Zhenzhou Division, and the Zhenzhou Division is also mostly Miao." As long as we persuade the Miao people of the Zhenzhou Division to agree, the Miao people in this world are very united, even if they are not the Miao people in one place, everyone will be able to do it. ”

Tan Shuanghua said: "This is a method, but it is estimated that there will not be much certainty." Zhu Youdong said: "This is not in a hurry in advance, wait until we get Sichuan here." Peng Zhenxi put forward his opinion, whether Zhu Youdong did it or not was his own business, seeing that Zhu Youdong told him to let it go first, he had to stop talking about it first, and said: "Master Hou, what should Zhai Chang do," After Peng Zhenxi asked this, he lowered his head and didn't speak, and then waited quietly for Zhu Youdong to arrange.

Zhu Youdong thought for a while and said, "Tomorrow, I will execute him and Liang Jiaqi in the city, and you will be executed." After the execution, you should write an article for these two people, describe the sins of these two people in detail, and then compile them into the Chongqing Prefecture Chronicle, so that future generations will know the ugly faces of these two people. ”

Peng Zhenxi was originally just afraid that after Zhu Youdong left, someone would release Zhai Chang, in that case, his Chongqing prefect might not be able to sit firmly, so he came to ask. Who knew that Zhu Youdong was so ruthless, he directly wanted to write an article to these two people, and then write to the local government to leave. This will make these two people stink for 10,000 years. Peng Zhenxi didn't dare to speak anymore, and immediately left to do something.

Zhu Youdong looked at Peng Zhenxi, who was leaving, and couldn't help sighing: "It's only been a few days, and the entire Restoration Army has not yet opened up the situation in Sichuan, just seeing some signs, they began to fight for power and profit." "But where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and this is something to avoid ignoring.

Ten days later, He Zhen and Hao Yongzhong have received good news, He Zhen has invaded Banzhou, and fought a battle with the Qing army that rushed back to support Chongqing in Sanyuanba, the Qing army did not expect the Ming Army to capture Chongqing so quickly, so he was unsuspecting and was thrown away by He Zhen with the conquest guard. He Zhen is leading the army to catch up, hoping to take Loushan Pass in one go.

Hao Yongzhong's troops invaded Luzhou, because of Luzhou, the defenders of Xuzhou were transferred by Li Guoying, now there are no defenders in the two prefectures, seeing the army of the Restoration of the Ming Army coming, they surrendered directly, there is no major resistance at all, now Hao Yongzhong is marching to Xuzhou, with the Restoration Army singing military discipline songs all the way, the people around the country are also warmly welcome to the Restoration Army, after all, the Qing Army that has just left is basically the implementation of the three-light policy on the locality. Now that the Ming army is coming, can you not look forward to it for a long time?

Seeing this, Zhu Youdong also prepared to go to Tongchuan Mansion to Chengdu Mansion. After all, Bishan's Sanwei army has already been pulled out to Chengdu Mansion. Li Youshi, who stayed in Chongqing, also began to recruit fishermen in Chongqing to expand the sailor division with the permission of Zhu Youdong, Zhu Youdong was ready to form a 10,000 army of sailors first, and there were 3,000 troops before that, Zhu Youdong transferred 1,000 soldiers who knew how to water into the sailor division in the Restoration Army, so that more than 6,000 people had to be recruited to reach it, and there were not enough warships, so Zhu Youdong had to requisition relatively large fishing boats to change them into sailor warships, so that the soldiers could practice first.

After these were done, before Zhu Youdong walked out of Chongqing, Gou Xingwang sent a war report. Because the Restoration Army cut off the food route and return route of Du Xue and others from behind, Du Xue and others saw that the army could not support it, so they directly led 20,000 troops to Gou Xingwang to surrender. Wu Guoyong, who was unwilling to surrender, was directly killed in the barracks by Yang Guoming, and the others had no opinion when they saw this. Gou Xingwang didn't want to drag on in the south all the time, so he agreed to the surrender of Du Xue and others. Now report to Zhu Youdong and ask Zhu Youdong to send someone to reorganize the army.

Seeing this, Zhu Youdong directly asked Gou Xingwang to base on the Broken Guard, and asked Chen Fuyi to use the surrendered troops to form another guard force, and combine the two guards to form the First Town Field Army of the Restoration Army, called the First Army, Gou Xingwang served as the commander of the First Army, and Ma Rong took over the general army of the Broken Guard. After the formation, Gou Xingwang directly led the army to support Qinglinkou, defeated Zuo Xun and others, and then recovered Long'an Mansion and garrisoned the front line of Long'an.

Then the remaining troops were surrendered by Cheng Deyi and Liu Yingnan, and then formed two guards and horses respectively, and formed the second army and the third army with their direct original strength, Cheng Deyi served as the commander of the second army, and Cheng Deyi served as the commander of the third army. Then the combined army attacked Chengdu Mansion, and after conquering Chengdu Mansion, Cheng Deyi led the army south to capture Qiongzhou, Meizhou and other places. Originally, the Fourth Army was formed by the Destruction Guards in the south and the Fuming Guards who invaded Tongchuan Province, and went north to defend the passes of Baoning.

Song Gaoju sent troops from Hezhou to capture Guang'an Prefecture and Yuechi, and then gathered and surrendered troops to form a guard and horse, and combined troops to form the Fifth Army. Then he sent troops to Linshui, attacked the Dianjiang River, and joined the Kuidong army to capture Shizhouwei. Chongqing's Jingyuwei gathered the troops from various cities in Chongqing Prefecture to form a guard, and combined forces to form the Sixth Army, which is currently trying to stabilize Chongqing Prefecture and be ready to support He Zhen to defend Banzhou at any time.

The two guards who went north to attack Chengdu combined to form the Seventh Army, with Jiang Chao as the commander. After Zhu Youdong made some arrangements, he directly sent people to various places, and now the entire Sichuan Qing army is basically empty, Zhu Youdong must seize the time to occupy all parts of Sichuan, and let all places reply as soon as possible.

After making these arrangements, Zhu Youdong couldn't help but think of Peng Zhenxi's plan again, Zhu Youdong had been a little hesitant before, but now with the surrender of Du Xue and others, Zhu Youdong's current available troops are obviously sufficient. So Zhu Youdong was a little moved by the plan Peng Zhenxi said, but he couldn't make up his mind, and he was very irritable for a while.

As a last resort, Zhu Youdong had no choice but to take Tan Shuanghua and Peng Changbao to Fotu Pass, since the capture of Fotu Pass, Ta Tianbao's Fu Mingwei has been resting in Fotu Pass due to heavy casualties. Now seeing Zhu Youdong coming, Ta Tianbao smiled and said, "How can Master Hou have time to come and see us wounded?" ”

Zhu Youdong said: "What wounded, aren't they all members of the Restoration Army?" At this time, Zhu Youdong saw Yang Jiafu and said: "You fought the Qing Army and the Navy Division very smoothly." Yang Jiafu said: "That is, I don't look at who is out of the horse, those soldiers of the water division are all soft eggs one by one, and many of them have surrendered as soon as we charged." ”

Ta Tianbao said: "Look at what you can, if it weren't for the sneak attack, you would be so powerful?" Zhu Youdong ignored the jokes of the two of them and said: "Yang Jiafu, let me ask you something, among the soldiers in Sichuan, are there any people who are very good at walking mountain roads?" ”

Yang Jiafu said: "We people are very good at walking mountain roads, where can Sichuan people still not be able to walk mountain roads." Zhu Youdong said: "I don't mean to take the usual kind of road, it is to shuttle between the mountains, cliffs, climbing mountains and wading waters. Yang Jiafu muttered: "This is a little difficult, if you want to say that it is powerful, the white pole soldiers of Shizhu are powerful, they are from the Tujia family, and the others are estimated to be those Miao people in the mountains." ”

Zhu Youdong said: "Just like the Miao people, does Sichuan really only have white pole soldiers with stone pillars?" Are there any others? Yang Jiafu said: "That's all I know, we people can walk if we want to go, but we are not as skilled and fast as them." ”

Zhu Youdong said: "What if someone leads the way? Can you go? Yang Jiafu saw that Zhu Youdong seemed to care very much, so he said: "If Hou Ye wants us to go, it is just a bitter point, the only thing we are not afraid of is suffering, as long as Hou Ye gives an order, we will climb and climb over." ”

When Zhu Youdong saw Yang Jiafu say this, he knew that he was looking forward to it, so he replied like this. Zhu Youdong said: "It's good that you have this heart, let me think about it again." At this time, Ta Tianbao said: "Master Hou, if you really want to do something, I think it's better to hurry up, otherwise when the Qing soldiers react, we won't have a chance." ”

Zhu Youdong was shocked: "Yes, now that I can develop, it is basically because the Qing army did not take care of itself, and the Qing court did not pay attention to itself." Now Zheng Chenggong has been beaten away, and Yongli has run abroad. The only thing left in the country is his own most dazzling, and he will usher in the comprehensive encirclement and suppression of the Qing court, and he is still hesitating. ”

After Zhu Youdong thought of this, he immediately decided: "Okay, you guys are ready tonight, we will leave tomorrow, I have to go back and prepare." On the way back, Tan Shuanghua said: "When will you give me the army, won't you let me follow you like this every day, so that I will not be in the army at all." ”

Zhu Youdong said: "Actually, you shouldn't have joined the army in the first place, it's just right that you're annoyed, I'll ask Yuan Zongdi and them to send someone to send you back." Tan Shuanghua said: "It turns out that you just hit this idea, I won't go back, you should want to go to Duyun this time, right?" I'll go with you. ”

Zhu Youdong said: "What are you going to do there, it is very dangerous to go to Duyun this time, and you may not be able to come back at all, so you don't want to go." Tan Shuanghua said: "If you don't give me the army, I will go, don't worry that I won't trouble you." Zhu Youdong said: "If you cause trouble, you are the biggest trouble." ”

Tan Shuanghua said: "Why do you say I'm troublesome? What's wrong with me? Zhu Youdong turned his head and looked at Tan Shuanghua presumptuously, and said a few times with a "tsk" in his mouth: "Look at it, where is your whole body not troublesome, our soldiers are all men, and you still say that it is not troublesome." Tan Shuanghua's face turned red and said: "I am the leader of the troops, and I am not a soldier who wants to squeeze together with other soldiers, so it is inconvenient." After speaking, he ignored Zhu Youdong with some anger, Zhu Youdong kept thinking about how to complete this action, and he didn't care.

The next day, Ta Tianbao handed over the defense of Fotu Pass to Yuan Zongdi, and then set off with Zhu Youdong with Fu Mingwei. Zhu Youdong confessed that he couldn't tell Yuan Zongdi and others, not because he didn't believe Yuan Zongdi, but because he didn't know if there were any spies from the Qing army in Chongqing, so for the sake of secrecy, Zhu Youdong didn't say anything.

Because yesterday Zhu Youdong said that Tan Shuanghua should not join the army, and he had no intention of letting her lead the army. As a result, when it was time to set off, he didn't find where Tan Shuanghua went, so Zhu Youdong asked a guard next to him, "Do you know?" The guards around Zhu Youdong were all Zhao Shichao's subordinates, that is, the secret Jinyi guard, and the guard said: "Miss Tan took a boat from the south gate and went east to the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Our people have followed. Zhu Youdong said: "Go east to the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, that is the way back to Wanxian, if she wants to go back, let her go, as long as her safety is guaranteed." The guard said, "Okay, I'll just let them just send Miss Tan back to Wanxian." ”

Zhu Youdong nodded, and then took Fu Mingwei to Nanchuan, ready to go directly to Zhenzhou Division. Two days later, when Zhu Youdong appeared in Nanchuan with the army, Lin Asan, a small official who had just been promoted to the magistrate of Nanchuan, looked at the army in front of him, his legs trembled, and he was still supported by the catcher to meet Zhu Youdong, Zhu Youdong looked at Lin Asan's appearance, and said with some dissatisfaction: "This is the magistrate of Nanchuan?" If the Qing army arrives, I'm afraid they shouldn't be expected to defend the city. After speaking, he glanced at Lin Asan with some disdain and ignored him. Directly led the army into Nanchuan County.

The next day, Zhu Youdong took Fu Mingwei out of Nanchuan City and went straight to Zhenzhou Division, but not long after leaving Nanchuan, he heard someone shouting behind him: "Stop." Zhu Youdong asked Ta Tianbao to continue to advance with the army, and he waited for those people to come behind. When a few people got closer, it was Lin Asan from Nanchuan.

Yesterday outside the county seat, Lin Asan's performance Zhu Youdong was not optimistic, so now seeing that he was chasing after him, he suddenly looked down on him and said: "My army is marching, what are you shouting nonsense in Nanchuan County?" If you can't say that you are ugly, I will directly deal with you for disturbing the morale of the army. ”

Although Lin Asan was still a little scared, he still said: "Is it right that the general is going to Zhenzhou Division with a large army?" Zhu Youdong frowned and said, "What are you doing to inquire about this?" Lin Asan said: "It seems that I guessed correctly, general, you can't go directly with the army." ”

Zhu Youdong said: "Joke, where is my army going, and you still want to tell me?" Lin Asan said: "No, general, if you go like this, you will definitely not be able to find anyone." Zhu Youdong became strange when he heard this, and said, "These people are there, why can't I find them?" Can they still go to heaven and earth? ”

Lin Asan said: "They don't know this, but the general will definitely not see them when he goes with the army, and it will cause misunderstanding." ”
