Just when Huguang was in a mess, the people in Guangzhou were panicked, and many people rumored that Chu Rebellious's soldiers had arrived in Ganzhou, which was separated by a line from Guangdong, and they might hit Guangzhou Mansion at some point.

Not only ordinary people are panicking, but some petty officials are also looking around for news, thinking about avoiding the war, not only ordinary people, but when the whole city is in chaos, the Guangzhou General's Yamen is also brightly lit.

Guangzhou General Yamen is very famous in the city of Guangzhou, it is a very grand palace, the reason why it is said to be a palace, is that this place was originally the palace. As early as the seventh year of Shunzhi, Shang Kexi, the king of Pingnan, and Geng Jimao, the king of Jingnan, led the Qing army to invade Guangzhou, and then built a large number of buildings on the original site of the Ming Dynasty Governor's Office.

Until after the rebellion of the three feudatories, Kangxi garrisoned the Eight Banners in Guangzhou and set up the generals of the Eight Banners in Guangdong, which is now the general of Guangzhou, and this Jingnan palace was changed to the general's yamen.

Now forty years have passed, and the entire General's Mansion is still lush with trees and flowers. The current Guangzhou general Guan Yuanzhong was born in the Han army with a yellow flag, and he has been a general of Guangzhou since the 41st year of Kangxi, and it has been a full 20 years now, and his roots in the entire city of Guangzhou are extremely deep.

After getting the news that the Fu Han army was going south, Guan Yuanzhong was a little panicked, he really didn't want to go through such a storm when he was in office in the last few years, and when Yang Lin, the governor of Liangguang, led the army to enter Hunan, he also supported it, and was not willing to grab this hot potato.

But I never expected that this support made Guan Yuan remorseful, that is, the 40,000 taels of the Guangqing army was gone, and the first battle was completely defeated, and even Yang Lin was taken into Beijing, and the most fatal thing was that Chu Shun took advantage of this gap to take Hunan, and now he began to plot Jiangxi, and he Guan Yuanzhong was in the city of Guangzhou, in addition to the 5,000 Eight Banner Army under his command, there were only more than 6,000 green battalion soldiers.

Seeing that Chu Wei took Ganzhou, Guan Yuanzhong not only hated Yang Lin's incompetence, but also felt that Gao Qi's position was too old to even look down on the rebels, so he went directly to Ganzhou.

Guan Yuanzhong had heard of the fate of the Eight Banners in Jingzhou, tens of thousands of people were driven into the mine like cattle and sheep, and countless hard labor every day, if he was allowed to surrender to the Han army, I am afraid it would be even more uncomfortable than killing him.

Of course, he is not the only one who is anxious, there is also Yang Zongren, the governor of Guangzhou, his mood is a little complicated, and some of them are unknown, naturally related to the Huguang battlefield.

When Yang Lin was locked, Yang Zongren was full of hope that he could get the position of the governor of Liangguang, but he was worried that under the pressure of the army, he would be asked to bear the responsibility of defending the territory and resisting the enemy, so as soon as he heard that this Chu rebellion had reached Ganzhou, he came to the general's yamen and wanted to talk about it.

"General Guan, the lower officials have heard that the Chu rebellion that went south is now holding on to Gao Junmen, why did there be another Chu rebellion and occupy Ganzhou Mansion?"

Yang Zongren was also born in the Eight Banners, but he was the white flag of the Han Army, and Guan Yuanzhong did not belong to the same banner, and his background qualifications were also very rich.

At that time, Yang Zongren was young and vigorous, and he ran alone to persuade those rebellious soldiers to surrender, so he was also appreciated by Zhao Shenqiao, and later the official became bigger and bigger, and a few years ago he was promoted from the position of Guangxi according to the envoy to the governor of Guangdong, and he was also an official under Yang Lin.

Guan Yuanzhong naturally knows those little Jiujiu in Yang Zongren's heart, but he doesn't care, no matter who is replaced by the governor of Liangguang, he only has respect for Guan Yuanzhong, but when he heard Yang Zongren's temptation, he was also a little tired in his heart.

"Brother Tianjue, the old man has been a general in Guangzhou for twenty years, what kind of chaos has he never encountered? This Chu rebellion is nothing more than taking advantage of the guns to be able to run rampant. Now that my saint is personally conquest, the imperial army has gathered in Huguang, and it will only take a few months to wipe out Chu Wei in one fell swoop, so there is no need to worry about it! "Tianjue is Yang Zongren's word.

Although he said that, after all, it was just prevarication, Guan Yuanzhong also wanted to see if this powerful Tianjue brother had any clever plans, so he tentatively said: "But at the moment, you and I need to think of a way to deal with the current situation, if you wait until the emperor and his old man calm down Chu Rebellious, and turn his head to find that I am in chaos in Guangzhou, it will be a dereliction of duty for the two of us!" ”

A slight smile appeared on Yang Zongren's face, and then he stopped, looking a little smiling, "Brother Guan, since the imperial court handed over Liangguang to Lord Yang, this kind of matter was not originally commented on by the lower officials, but now that Lord Yang is in prison, he has some thoughts about his humble position." ”

Guan Yuanzhong smiled and waved his hand very calmly: "If Lord Yang has a clever plan, you might as well talk about it, if it is beneficial to the imperial court, Guan Mou should recommend it to the imperial court." ”

Yang Zongren was a little dissatisfied when he saw that Guan Yuanzhong's words were not true or false, but he also knew that it was rare for Guan Yuanzhong to make this statement now, so he no longer sold Guanzi, and said: "Guan Chu is acting against the grain, rampant, every time he goes down, he is close to the land of the squire, and he has long been angry and resentful, and everyone wants to get rid of it quickly." ”

"Now that Huguang has fallen, there are only a handful of squires who have fled from the squire, and everyone scolds them, but there is nothing they can do. And my Liangguang is also placed under the knife edge of Chu Rebellion, in order to protect the township from being harmed by Chu Rebellion, it is better to use people's power. ”

"What is civil power?"

"The Cantonese people are strong and courageous, and they should advocate group training to eliminate bandits."

Yang Zongren's words seemed to be bland, but Guan Yuanzhong was shocked, and now he sees that the green camp is useless, and there are many people who want to train the new army, like Yang Lin, Gao Qiwei and others, but no one has dared to be bold enough to use villagers to run group training, this is testing the determination of the imperial court!

"Brother Tianjue, do you know that the matter of initiating a group training is extraordinary, if it is just the accountability of the imperial court, it will be forgotten, but if the emperor sees it, do you know what a monstrous disaster it is?"

Yang Zongren was silent, of course he understood what Guan Yuanzhong meant, and the problem returned to the original point, then it was the difference between the Manchurian and the Han.

In the Qing Dynasty, no matter how open the court was, it could not be changed in essence, and the Manchu emperor's vigilance against the Han people had never decreased, especially after the rebellion of the three feudatories.

The reason why today's Green Battalion is weak and chaotic in military discipline is not without the reason why the imperial court is behind it, and it is not unforeseeable to deliberately weaken the Green Battalion and even the Han people's armed forces.

In this case, what Yang Zongren said about advocating group training, its real meaning is to let go of the use of Han force, which is intolerable to the Qing Dynasty, and even a scene that is afraid to see.
