Wuchang was very famous in later generations, and a large part of it was because of Daye's existence.

In the late Qing Dynasty, after Zhang Zhidong served as the governor of Huguang, he founded the Hanyang Iron Works at the foot of Guishan Mountain, which can be said to be the precedent of the Qing government, and the iron used in the Hanyang Iron Works came from Daye. It is the so-called "100 miles of golden land, Jiangnan cornucopia." "It's Daye, and today's Daye County is not just about iron ore, but also about gold mines.

Today's Daye County is located under the jurisdiction of Wuchang Mansion, and it is not far from Wuchang, after the Ning family took Wuchang City, the most wanted target was Daye County, but after Man Pi and Xiande and others escaped from Wuchang City, they attached great importance to Daye, and temporarily mobilized the green battalion soldiers of Xingguo Prefecture to garrison here.

There were about 3,000 of these green battalion soldiers from Xingguo, so the Ning family could not directly occupy Daye after taking Wuchang. However, all the Qing troops in Wuchang Mansion have already gathered in Daye, and if Daye is defeated, the entire Wuchang Mansion will be able to hold the entire Wuchang Mansion in the palm of his hand.

In view of this situation, Ning Yu has also been patient, and waited until the early September, when the potential of the Ning family began to be brought into play, and the strength of the army rapidly expanded to 10,000 people, Ning Yu began to pay attention to Daye, especially this time, he not only wanted to simply fight Daye's idea, but also wanted to pocket a piece of Huangzhou Mansion.

This is also to allow Man Pi to pull out one of Man Pi's teeth before gathering heavy troops, and he will have a better chance of winning the battle. Only by taking the initiative can the attention of the Qing army in the entire Hubei and Hunan be attracted from Wuchang City, and the Ning family can have more time to prepare. And Huangzhou Mansion, as a sharp knife on the waist of Wuchang, should not be underestimated, if you don't take Huangzhou first, when the Qing army from De'an Mansion, Anlu Mansion and Xiangyang Mansion in the west comes, under the attack on both sides, the Ning family is too dangerous.

If Daye and even Huangzhou are taken, then in a short period of time, Ningyu does not have to worry about the threat from the east———— and then to the east are Jiangxi and Anhui provinces. As for the imperial court sending officials to coordinate the multi-provincial joint suppression, there is no need to worry about it in a short time, after all, Kangxi can't afford to lose such a person.

In early September, Ning Yu set off with the first division of the Fu Han Army, which had just been formed, with a total of 5,000 people, which is one-third of the current strength of the Ning family, and it is also the hope of the Ning family. Although these 5,000 people have undergone a short period of training, in fact they are still mainly recruits, and this time the battle against Daye is also based on fighting as a substitute for training, and only on the battlefield can the troops be trained as quickly as possible.

The commander of the first division of the newly formed Fuhan Army is served by Ning Yu himself, and the chief of staff of the division is Cheng Zhien, a son of the Cheng family.

The first division was highly valued by Ning Yu, and the two combat regiments under it were all top-notch, the commander of the first regiment was Dong Ce, who was brought out by himself, and the commander of the second regiment was Deng Fang of the original Hanyang battalion, all of whom belonged to the good seedlings in the army with experience and strength.

Because Ning Yu's trip was originally a surprise to the Qing army, there was no pre-war mobilization meeting, but Ning Zhongyuan, as the governor of the capital, came to say goodbye to his son, but in Ning Zhongyuan's heart, he really realized the sadness of being a father, and he couldn't wait to replace him with his body, but the governor of the capital should sit firmly in the camp account, which is also reasonable.

"This time to fight Daye and even Huangzhou Mansion, it is of great significance, I won't tell you more, you know better in your own heart."

"I'll just say one thing, you have to hurry!"

Ning Zhongyuan told his son with all his heart, lest his son have half a fork.

Ning Yu also understood in his heart, so he didn't say anything immediately, and took the first division of the Fu Han Army and marched towards Daye.

At this time, Daye County was not in chaos, and the general of the green battalion stationed there, Xu Mingyuan, was the garrison of the original Xingguo battalion, and the 3,000 people under his command plus the general of a green battalion that was originally stationed in Daye were almost 4,000 people, and the total number of people was almost 4,000 people, squeezing a small Daye county town into a crowd.

Xu Mingyuan did not have any backers in the court, and he was able to get to this position, but he actually relied on his own ability———— because he performed well before, and was valued by the former governor Zhang Liandeng, so he was promoted to the position of green camp garrison, but after Zhang Liandeng left office, he was left out in the cold.

"Here, and here, why are there so few people? Bring in some more people and plug this place. "Xu Mingyuan, accompanied by his own soldiers, arranged the entire Daye County in a solid manner, he thought that he was not a genius, so he would make adequate preparations before every battle.

For Ning Zhongyuan, who calls himself the governor of the capital, Xu Mingyuan is not familiar or very unfamiliar, he has seen it in Zhang Liandeng's mansion before, and both of them have followed Zhang Liandeng, so on the other hand, Xu Mingyuan still attaches great importance to Ning Zhongyuan, and he must not be an ordinary person to make such a big noise. And the two of them can be regarded as being in the same place, so they are also very sympathetic to Ning Zhongyuan in their hearts.

But no matter what, Xu Mingyuan will not go to Ning Zhongyuan, because he will never doubt the strength of the entire imperial court, no matter how much the Ning family tosses, at most it will be tossed and tossed in Hubei Province, Huguang Water and Land Governor Wang Wenhuan has already begun to mobilize troops and horses, once he meets with the Manpi of Xiangyang Mansion, he will immediately join forces to attack Wuchang, and no matter how the Ning family can toss, it will be pressed to death, but all this needs to see the determination of Man Pi.

Even if the Ning family occupies the so-called advantage of guns, they will be exterminated after all. However, during this period, he Xu Mingyuan and Xingguoying will not mix these things casually, after all, judging from the current combat power exposed by the Ning family, he Xingguoying is definitely not one, after all, even Fubiao and Dubiao have been folded in. With these 3,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people in his hands, what kind of battle can he fight? As long as you keep it, it will be a great achievement.

But just when Xu Mingyuan didn't expect it, Ning Yu's first division was already approaching Daye County. Of course, such a large army of soldiers and horses naturally couldn't hide from the eyes of the defenders, so Xu Mingyuan soon knew the news, looking at the Fuhan army in Wuyang and Wuyang under the city, he clenched his fists lightly and gasped.

It's not easy to fight! The people below look like they are all elite, and there are at least 5,000 people, and they are only in their early 3,000s, so even if they defend the city, they can't take advantage of it.

Xu Mingyuan took advantage of the fact that the Fu Han army had not yet completely encircled, scattered a few spies, and set off towards Huangzhou Mansion, as long as he waited for the reinforcements of Huangzhou Mansion, not only the siege of the city could be solved, but the Fu Han army under the city would also suffer a big defeat! And before that, all you have to do is stick to it.

At this time, the Fu Han army and others also saw the messenger that was scattered, and immediately Cheng Zhien suggested that Ning Yu send scouts to intercept and kill the messenger, so that the fighting spirit of everyone in the city would collapse, and it would naturally be effortless to go down to the city.

Ning Yu shook his head lightly, if he just wanted to conquer this Daye City, he could naturally do so. But Ning Yu has even greater greed, he wants to catch a bigger fish. And this fish is the Qing army from Huangzhou Mansion.
