"Don't rejoice too soon." Wu Zheng shook his hand and said, "The musket is still being manufactured, it is estimated that it will take two or three months, and before taking over the new weapon, the Wind and Thunder Rider will have to go through the training first...... Elite divisions are never trained, but fought on the battlefield. ”

"Then ask the general to give the order." Qian Qiaogong said with a serious expression.

Wu Zheng turned around, returned to his case, pointed to the map spread out on the case, and said: "Give you a month, you lead the wind and thunder to ride, just in the name of training, in batches, to the north by different routes, and then complete the assembly in Yancheng, the final goal is ...... In this. ”

"Cloud Ladder Pass?" Qian Qiaogong was surprised, "Haizhou to the north of it, there are five or six thousand people from Jiang Quanyi stationed there...... Is the general going to attack Qingzhou? ”

Wu Zheng straightened up, shook his head and said, "No, with the strength of the Wind and Thunder Cavalry, it is not enough to raid Qingzhou. My intention is to let the wind and thunder ride to help Jiang Quanyi assist in the defense of Haizhou. ”

Qian Qiaogong asked puzzledly, "Do you want to start a war with the Qing court?" No, we have made a temporary truce with the Qing court, and you also said that the new dynasty needs to recuperate. Moreover, Haizhou faces the sea to the east, and there is no enemy except the north...... You mean, the Qing army will attack Haizhou? No, it can't be...... After being swept away by the Northern Expeditionary Army, now that the Qing court is weak and shrinking its forces, how can they take the initiative to attack Haizhou? Aren't you afraid that the Northern Expeditionary Army will take this opportunity to cross the Yellow River? ”

Wu Zheng thought about it, and didn't answer Qian Qiaogong directly, but said, "Do your own thing, and ...... You don't have to worry about it. ”

Qian Qiaogong was stunned for a moment, and then responded: "Yes." ”

"All the ammunition, food and grass supplies, I will order the sailor to transport them to Yancheng, where you can complete the reloading."

"Yes."

"Go ahead."

Qian Qiao saluted respectfully, and then said, "Can I go to see my father and princess?" ”

Wu Zheng nodded and said, "Of course you can...... However, no one is to divulge what is said today. ”

"Yes."

When Qian Qiaogong was about to arrive at the door, Wu Zheng suddenly said: "Remember, this is an experience for the wind and thunder ride, just an experience, not a decisive battle." ”

"Yes."

……。

In the days that followed, the clouds of war began to gather in Jiangbei.

The troops and horses of the three parties, no, the four sides began to move.

In addition to the Qing Army's Azig Division, Dolbo Division, and Li Guosuo's Division, which has been designated as a "rebel army", the fourth party is naturally the Northern Expeditionary Army.

After the left battalion of the First Army led by Sun Jiaji crossed the river, he quickly stationed in Huai'an Mansion, while the right battalion led by Chi Erhan quietly stationed in Jiangdu.

Regarding the changes in the Northern Expeditionary Army, the General's Office responded to the Qing court as follows, "In view of the occupation of Dingyuan by the rebel Li Guosuo's troops, in order to prevent it from invading Jiangdu to the east or Huai'an to the northwest, our army is on strict guard, which is also the meaning of the title...... Yunyun. ”

With the Azig Division, an endless stream of southward from Gyeonggi, coupled with the 3,000 people of the Yellow Banner and the 10,000 people of the Zhenglan Banner under the command of Dolbo, there were more than 100,000 troops gathered in Fengyang Mansion and its surroundings for a time.

There was a lot of rumors in the streets, and the people began to flee again six years ago, and the powerful and rich in the mansions began to think and judge, this time, how to stand in line?

During this time, a strange phenomenon arose.

That is, most of the poor proletarians fled to Chuzhou and Hezhou in the south.

The wealthy families, or those who have invested in the Qing Dynasty once, are looking to Xuzhou and Yanzhou to move.

The difference is that with the Hamming Bank, the transfer of wealth no longer needs to be pulled by carts, of course, the land and the house cannot be taken away, and the rich do not plan to sell it, because the war is approaching, and it cannot be sold at a high price.

As long as you pack a few boxes of house deeds and title deeds to take away, it is enough.

In their opinion, the outcome of this war has been very clear, Prince Ying and Prince Rui, three or four times the strength of Guangxinwei, which is equivalent to two five big and three rough men completely abusing a child.

What's the suspense?

The people have this kind of thinking, accounting for the majority, but the root cause of this strange phenomenon is that the south side is their own people, the more poor and helpless, the more they seek spiritual and spiritual solace, and the richer they are, the more they feel that there is no danger that silver cannot solve, and if there is, then double the silver.

It is said that it is okay to spend money to buy peace, six years ago, then it is okay now.

Among the four gates every day, the north and south city gates are the most crowded.

Fengyang Province, which has a population of more than 200,000, has plummeted by half in just half a month.

What is dizzying is that time has passed day by day, and the forwards of the two armies have also confronted each other on both sides of the river.

But if you don't fight, you can't fight.

What is speechless is that the two sides confronted each other according to the river, and the daily water could even see each other's whiskers, and when a wooden barrel floated down the upper stream, the other party picked it up and sent it back...... Tsk, this is called confrontation, it's clearly team building.

Countless people couldn't figure it out, and some even doubted whether Li Guo and Guangxinwei would change their banners and lower the Qing court.

This kind of argument is very marketable among the people, so the indignant local people gathered the people who fled from the north, and from time to time went to Li Guo's temporary headquarters to "advise" them, wanting to talk to Li Guo about what it means, loyalty!

There are even students who put up "big-character posters" in the city, doing things of exhortation on the one hand, and jointly writing folds on the other side, sending people to Ying Tianfu for impeachment, and even going all the way to Hangzhou for impeachment.

Han people, since ancient times, no matter when, they want to reason with others, especially those who read.

They also don't want to think about it, if Li Guo really wants to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, what is the use of impeaching the imperial court and the general's mansion?

If impeachment works, what does the military want to do?

Such days lasted for nearly a month, needless to say that the people were annoyed, the new imperial court was annoyed, and even the Qing court officials who were far away in Shuntian Mansion were also annoyed.

They couldn't figure out what the hell Azig was doing, they knew that he didn't want to fight, so they just persuaded him to surrender, so why send Qian Qianyi to Fengyang Mansion and act as a villain in vain?

If this is a long time, revealing the stuffing, and letting Azig discover Qian Qianyi's purpose, then the big thing will not be good, Azig is known for his recklessness, if Dolgon still knows how to be a little restrained, then Azig will not lead a large army to counterattack Gyeonggi after he knows it, no one can guarantee.

Also, the movement of more than 10,000 troops under Dolbo's command also made Fulin uneasy, what did Dolbo want to do, take advantage of the fire to rob?

Thinking like this, Hong and Fan began to think about recalling Qian Qianyi.

But if you think about it again, it's not right, for such a long time, the second battalion of the left and right of Jianxin Chao has not moved much along the river, which is unreasonable.
