Hong Chengchou felt that he had a bit of the taste of a tinker.

If there is a problem here, make up for it, and fix it there.

In short, he was busy all the time.

Shang Kexi has just been done, and there is another problem on Geng Jimao's side.

King Jingnan suddenly fell ill.

Whether he is really sick or pretending to be sick, Hong Chengchou still has to visit in person to show his concern.

It's just that if there is a problem at the juncture of the Ming army's pressure on the border, it is not a good thing to look at it.

However, it was said that Hong Chengchou came to King Jingnan's mansion in Nanchang City with a retinue, but he was closed.

When I asked, I found out that King Jingnan had smallpox.

This really scared Hong Chengchou.

You must know that smallpox can be described as very terrifying in this era, although it is not ironclad, but ninety percent of the serious illness will go to see Hades.

Geng Jimao got smallpox?

That's unlucky, isn't it?

In this way, Hong Chengchou really didn't dare to forcibly visit.

Geng Jimao is in his prime, and he may survive it.

Hong Chengchou, if this old bone is infected with smallpox, he will definitely not survive.

Even if he doesn't think about himself and the emperor for the Qing Dynasty, Hong Chengchou can't fall at this time.

The Qing Dynasty needs him, and he must fight all the time!

Hong Chengchou thought about it and ordered Lang Zhong, the best in Nanchang City, to go and diagnose King Jingnan, but he ran back to the governor's yamen in a gloomy manner.

As soon as he entered the back office, Zhang Chaoxuan's people hurriedly came to him and said, "Lord Jinglu, Lord Governor is invited." ”

Hong Chengchou is full of suspicions, what is Zhang Chaoxuan doing at this time?

Although he was very puzzled, Hong Chengchou still went.

As soon as he entered the house, he smelled a strong smell of medicinal soup.

Hong Chengchou suddenly had a bad thought in his heart.

Wouldn't this Zhang Chaoxuan also be sick?

He walked around the screen, but when he looked out, sure enough, Zhang Chaoxuan was lying on the bed!

What are you afraid of!

Hong Chengchou was very helpless, and took a step forward and said, "Governor Zhang, what's wrong?" ”

Zhang Chaoxuan said in a hurry: "Xia Guan has been unwell these days, maybe he fell ill after a recent illness. ”

Hong Chengchou hurriedly asked, "Can you please see it?" ”

"Lang Zhong has already seen it, saying that the lower official is weak and needs to recuperate, and he has already taken the medicine according to the prescription."

Hong Chengchou said in his heart, this is good, the only one who can be discussed, and now he is also sick.

Shang Kexi has an orphan mentality, Geng Jimao got smallpox, and Zhang Chaoxuan fell ill again.

Are you going to join forces to anger the old man?

Even if the old man is not angry, he will probably be exhausted to death.

Hong Chengchou was upset.

He is so old, and he still has to fight the situation and preside over the overall situation.

What about the young people of the Qing Dynasty? Where did they all die?

I have to say that Hong Chengchou is very tired.

Now that he wants to come to Aobai, although he is domineering, he does not hesitate when it is time for him to stand up and take responsibility.

Compared with Aobai, Shang Kexi, Geng Jimao, Zhang Chaoxuan and others don't know where they are going.

It's a pity that Ao Bai died in a daze, otherwise the situation would not be so critical.

Hong Chengchou appeased Zhang Chaoxuan again, and then left the house impatiently.

He needs to calm down now, and then think about how to fight the Nanchang battle.

...

...

Throughout his life, Hong Chengchou has never experienced such a stretching period of time.

Even if he was defeated and captured in Liaodong, he had shown momentum and style before.

But now? Completely suppressed by the Ming army, follow the rhythm of the Ming army.

Hong Chengchou thought about it carefully and found that the problem was still with Zhu Youlang.

Zhu Youlang has always given people the impression of being cowardly, incompetent, and timid as a mouse.

Every time the Qing army attacked nearby, Zhu Youlang was definitely the first to run away.

In this way, the Ming army naturally lost his heart. The emperor has run away, and he still expects the soldiers to serve the dead?

So every time the Qing army attacked in a big way, it could win in the end.

Even Li Dingguo could not resist the overall advance of the Qing army.

The root cause is that the upper beam is not right, and it is so bad.

But since two years ago, Zhu Youlang suddenly became extremely brave.

Not only is the enemy no longer running away, but even eating and sheltering are in the army with the soldiers.

In all the major wars, the capture of Chongqing, the conquest of Huguang and Zhu Youlang were basically there.

In this case, the potential of the soldiers has been fully stimulated, and it is as difficult as if they were beaten with chicken blood, but it is difficult to lose.

Then there are the new firearms of the Ming army.

From the information revealed by Lu Guisheng, it can be seen that the new firearms of the Ming army are extremely powerful, and it is also an important reason why the Ming army has won many battles all the way to the city.

The combination of these two reasons has led to the recent strong momentum of the Ming army.

What can Hong Chengchou do now?

It seems that it can only be dragged out.

By dragging on to gain time, the Qing army also imitated similar firearms.

Although Lu Guisheng did not have detailed drawings of these firearms, he was still able to give a rough explanation.

Hong Chengchou has already ordered someone to imitate it, but I am afraid it will be difficult to make it in a short time.

In addition, the size of the Qing court was still much larger than that of the Ming Dynasty.

It was not false for the Qing court to fight a war of attrition.

Of course, this is premised on the fact that the Ming army can no longer expand.

If the Ming army takes Jiangxi and even the entire territory of Nanzhili and Zhejiang, the advantages accumulated by the Qing army for more than ten years will disappear in an instant!

This is also the reason why Hong Chengchou set the main battlefield in Jiangxi.

But it's hard to delay.

Hong Chengchou gradually felt that his strength was not enough.

If these two new reinforcements are the same as him, it would be fine.

But these two have to think carefully about themselves.

Hong Chengchou is both a father and a mother, and it is too difficult to operate here alone.

Return to the battlefield in Jiangxi.

Jiujiang and Nanchang are undoubtedly the two most critical points.

The former is an important stronghold of the Yangtze River, and the latter is the heart of Jiangxi.

The former is not discussed, but the latter Hong Chengchou believes that he cannot be trapped in the city, and he must dare to take the initiative.

Hong Chengchou sketched on the map, and finally made up his mind to move the small flag representing the army outside the city.

Would it be better to take the initiative to seek a decisive battle with the Ming army outside the city?

After all, the Ming army's siege means were too rich.

No matter how you look at it, there is a feeling of waiting for death when you are stationed in the city.

In fact, Hong Chengchou himself doesn't like to blindly stick to it.

If he was twenty years younger, he would definitely have led his troops out to fight a decisive battle with the Ming army by now.

It's just that when I get older, I like to think about problems a lot, and gradually I look ahead and look backwards.

If you think about it, it's a good choice to take the initiative.

Because the Ming army would not have thought of this.

In this way, the Qing army took the lead.

In terms of absolute strength, the Qing army even had an advantage.

The only problem is that Hong Chengchou must arrange the battlefield in advance, so that the battlefield is absolutely beneficial to the Qing army, and the Ming army rushing in is like rushing into an encirclement, as if falling into a quagmire, feeling uncomfortable everywhere.
