A sudden rainstorm disrupted Zhu Youlang's overall plan.

Originally, the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army had already implemented Zhu Youlang's plan very well, which made the Qing army in chaos.

When he saw a "fire dragon" spreading in the Qing army's array, Zhu Youlang felt that everything was stable. Who would have thought that there would be a sudden rainstorm?

Hot air balloons can't fly in a rainstorm, so it's too dangerous and you can fall at any time.

In addition, the effectiveness of grenades and incendiary bombs will be greatly reduced.

So Zhu Youlang did not blame these warriors, they made the most appropriate decision.

It's just that this rain is obviously much heavier than Zhu Youlang imagined.

The rain does not stop for a while.

Zhu Youlang stood by the tent, watching the rain slide down the edge of the tent, clattering on some muddy ground, and his mood was very complicated.

Weather was indeed the most important factor in the constraints of ancient warfare.

Even in the period of alternating hot and cold weapons, this is no exception.

Although it is said that arquebuses and cardinal cannons are more afraid of rainy days, it does not mean that flintlock pistols and Prussian field guns are not afraid.

The heavy rains have had an incalculable impact on both sides.

The rain had turned the land into mud, and the soldiers were walking in a swamp, with each step requiring great physical strength.

As for the conditions in the trenches, it became extremely bad.

The rain poured in mercilessly, filling the tunnel.

The soldiers soaked in the muddy trenches, and their skin began to become cystic.

In the long run, if the soldiers don't get sick, then there will be ghosts.

In desperation, Zhu Youlang could only order the soldiers to leave the trenches first and return to the camp tent to rest.

To say that this ghost weather is really grinding, you can't even light a campfire to warm up under the pouring rain.

The soldiers could only report to the regiment for warmth, snuggling together to resist the cold.

In order to avoid mass illness, Zhu Youlang ordered the medical soldiers to boil a lot of ginger soup for the soldiers.

Ginger is something that Ming Jun has always carried with him. It's not because it can cure cold disease, but it's very easy to use when burying the pot to make rice, and it can be eaten with some rice porridge casually.

I never thought it would come in handy today.

"Your Majesty, you can also drink a bowl of ginger soup to warm up."

There were not many attendants in the army, so Han Miao personally served Zhu Youlang's daily life.

Seeing the Son of Heaven drenched in the rain for so long, his heart hung in his throat.

"Hmm."

Zhu Youlang did feel a little uncomfortable.

Although he has insisted on boxing and exercising since he came to Daming, perhaps the original owner of his body is too weak, and he will have some minor illnesses from time to time.

Now that the confrontation between the Ming army and the Qing army has reached a critical time, this battle is directly related to the situation in Jiangxi, and Zhu Youlang must not be sick at this time and drag the whole army back.

For Zhu Youlang, he doesn't need to take the lead in charging into battle, as long as he stands in front of the army to boost morale.

A healthy Ming Emperor is a great boost to the morale of the army.

On the contrary, if the emperor has become a sick man, half-dead and weak, how can he expect the soldiers to work hard?

"Your Majesty, count the days, His Royal Highness King Zhong and several princes and princes should also take Jiujiang, right?"

Although Han Miao rarely has camellia state affairs on weekdays, he saw that the Son of Heaven was not in a good mood today, so he deliberately said something that made Zhu Youlang happy.

"Well, I think it's supposed to be eight or nine."

The reason why Zhu Youlang arranged for Kuidong Thirteen and Zheng Chenggong to attack Jiujiang on two ways was to ensure that nothing went wrong.

As for the most difficult bones, he and Li Dingguo personally gnawed them.

In Zhu Youlang's plan, Zheng Chenggong and they only need to take Jiujiang and control the Yangtze River route.

As for whether they will continue to go south to cooperate with Zhu Youlang and Li Dingguo to take Nanchang, Zhu Youlang does not force it.

"It's not the right time for this rain. Originally, I could have broken through the position. ”

Zhu Youlang was still worried about the heavy rain, and Han Miao had to throw out the news he had just gotten when he saw this.

"Your Majesty, news from Shuzhong, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince led the Chengdu army and people to defeat the invading captives and beheaded more than 700 people."

"Oh?"

Zhu Youlang was indeed surprised at this time.

"Could it be that Li Guoying, a thief, led his troops to commit it?"

Li Guoying, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, has always coveted Sichuan. When the main force of the Ming army was stationed in Sichuan, he could only look at it and drool. But after Zhu Youlang led the main force out of Sichuan and into Huguang, Li Guoying must have moved his mind.

Seeing that the main force of the Ming army has reached as far as Jiangxi, has this guy finally made a move?

"Your Majesty is really like a god, and the slave admires it."

Han Miao slapped his ass without a trace and said, "It's just that how can this thief have the majesty of His Royal Highness the Prince, and he was beaten and fled." It is estimated that he will not dare to fight Sichuan again in a short period of time. ”

Zhu Youlang couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

This Han Miao is really good at coaxing herself to be happy.

The prince is only twelve or thirteen years old, no matter how smart he is, where can he go?

Isn't this the result of the concerted efforts of Feng Shuangli, Bai Wenxuan, Mu Tianbo, Wen Anzhi and other military generals?

To be honest, although the troops he left for Sichuan are not too many, they are definitely not small.

As far as Li Guoying's shrimp soldiers and crab generals are concerned, the idea of fighting Sichuan is really not qualified.

Guanzhong is no longer the Guanzhong of the Tang Dynasty, and today's Guanzhong is barren and has very few people.

Li Guoying's own army can't fill the stomach, so he wants to fight Sichuan's idea, which is really funny.

However, this also gave Zhu Youlang a wake-up call.

Li Guoying in Hanzhong and Guanzhong is not worried, but Wu Sangui in Yunnan is a hidden danger.

Wu Sangui's forbearance in the city government is above Shang Kexi, Geng Jimao and the like.

He lived in Guizhou for many days, and as soon as Aobai left with his front foot, he led his troops to Yunnan with his back foot, and caught Feng Shuangli and Mu Tianbo off guard.

Although Yunnan itself is very poor, it is already the best choice for Wu Sangui to settle down.

When the opportunity appeared in front of him, Wu Sangui did not hesitate at all, this decision was simply a little terrifying.

Compared with Yunnan, Shuzhong can be described as prosperous.

What if Wu Sangui has the idea of Sichuan?

Can Feng Shuangli and Bai Wenxuan really hold it?

In any case, Sichuan is the foundation of Nanming's beginning.

Although now that Daming has Huguang and will even take Jiangxi, Zhu Youlang still doesn't want Sichuan to fall into the hands of Wu Sangui.

It's just that at the moment, Zhu Youlang really can't transfer extra manpower to Sichuan.

Wait until the recruits trained in Huguang can go into battle, and draw some to transfer to Sichuan.

In general, everything is still developing according to Zhu Youlang's script.

As long as the Ming army can control the Yangtze River, it can completely cut off the connection between the north and the south of the Qing army.

If the Qing army wanted to get in touch with Liangguang and Fujian, it could only rely on the sea route.

And Zhu Youlang, who has Zheng Chenggong's invincible sailor, can rest assured that he can block the sea lane and drag the Manchus to death.

Once there is no food supply and the tax commission of the two Guangzhous, the combat effectiveness of the Manchu Qing will drop sharply!
