Chapter Eighty-Eight: No Regrets (3)
The member's worries also directly affected the mood of Zou Nan and others as he had to rush back to Jishui County again.
A snake can't be without a head, it's a simple truth. They had never heard of a snake with two heads alive, and of course they hadn't really seen a two-headed snake, but it was precisely because even the well-informed of them had never seen a creature that they probably wouldn't have survived, as they thought.
The same is true of the serpent, and the same is true of the army, both of which make sense in principle. The Ming army marched this time, westward and northward were two armies, and there were originally two admirals in military affairs who were responsible for their respective armies, and then Chen Kai was responsible for unified command, and the two armies could be twisted into a rope. And they also firmly believe that Chen Kai must have such ability, because Chen Kai's performance on the battlefields of Guangdong and Fujian over the years is one proof after another.
Chen Kai's outstanding performance in Guangdong and Fujian has greatly benefited the Tiandi Association in Jiangxi Province in developing members and consolidating the organization. After all, an excellent and well-known boss still has a certain degree of bonus to the employees' confidence in the company.
Chen Kai is not in Ganzhou, the Ming army is likely to have a situation of multiple politics, especially in the case of the status, qualifications, and even the size of the army in the hands of Huangshan and Ke Chenshu, each is basically very polite, if it is to fight for the command and make some unpleasantness, so that the two sides can not cooperate in battle, then the Qing army will face two weak opponents twice as weak as them, rather than a roughly equal opponent.
This was undoubtedly very unfavorable to the Ming army, and the members who hurried back hurriedly asked about the situation of the Qing army. According to him, if the Qing army was a few days late, Chen Kai would have more time to rush back. It's a pity that when he asked this, he saw Zou Nan's pale face, and everything was conceivable.
………………
At the same time that the member of the Nanchang Tiandi Association went south to report to Zou Nan, a Qing army under the banner of the Eight Banners Army had already entered Nanchang City.
Jiangxi Governor Lang Tingzuo is a man of the Han Army with a yellow flag, and now he is a feudal territory, and the Eight Banners officers who lead the team are not from this banner, but the Eight Banners system, he did not dare to hold it up at all, and hurriedly led a group of officials to bow down on the side of the road to welcome the arrival of Suke Saha, the commander of the Manchurian White Flag Protector Army.
Standing on top of the war horse, the former commander of the protector army has now become a hot new generation of famous generals in the Qing court because of the Battle of Changde. At this moment, the Eight Banners of the brigade followed closely, and Suke Saha looked sideways, and saw Lang Tingzuo prostrate on the side of the war horse, and there were those respectful words in his ears, and there was no trace of waves on his face, he just raised the horsewhip lightly, and the latter quickly stood up, bowed and followed the side of the war horse, and followed the pace of Suke Saha entering the city.
The gentry and people in the city have been organized by Lang Tingzuo to welcome the Eight Banners Army into the city, compared with a few years ago, it has recovered some vitality under the stimulation of Cai Shiying's resumption of production, but compared with before the Nanchang Massacre that year, it is much worse, to the extent that it is difficult to recover without decades.
The Eight Banners Army swaggered into Nanchang City, and the gentry and people in the city showed fear. This is exactly what Lang Tingzuo wants to see, because soon Nanchang will become an "empty city" with only a small number of soldiers and horses garrisoned, and only by deterring people's hearts can we feel a little more at ease.
There seems to be some instability in the area, and the exact situation is still unknown. Lang Tingzuo was cautious and safe, but Suke Saha, who was riding on a horse, didn't care about it at all, but after a few steps, he asked Lang Tingzuo directly: "How long has it been since Jiangxi raised the standard?" ”
Sukh Saha had arrived via Jiujiang, where the chief military officer, Qi Sheng, had already set sail by boat. The standard was stationed in Nanchang all the year round, and Sukh Saha's earlier order was for Liu Guangbi to lead his troops and horses to the south immediately, and rush to Ji'an Mansion to ensure the stability there. As the governor, Lang Tingzuo hurriedly said that Liu Guangbi set off overnight in accordance with Suke Saha's general order, and did not delay a little effort.
In this regard, Suke Saha did not make any statement, and immediately asked about logistics matters such as military supplies and grass, and civilian ships, and Lang Tingzuo, who had been preparing for the war against the Qing army in the Southern Jiangxi region, immediately made a statement and decided not to delay Suke Saha's conquest.
Speaking of which, Sukh Saha finally gave Lang Tingzuo an affirmative attitude and nodded, that's all, but it was enough for Lang Tingzo. At the very least, he was dutiful. However, Sukh Saha was not at all interested in the exhortation to rest and recuperate in Nanchang, saying that the Eight Banners army he led would pass through the city, board a ship from the south bank of the city and continue to march towards the capital of Ganzhou.
"Master?"
The prestige of the Eight Banners Army was a needle-like role for the Qing court, and the center was like this, and once the local people encountered a difficult bone to eat, there were many requests to the Qing court to help the war with "real Manchuria". Lang Tingzuo needed the Eight Banners Army to show more in Nanchang, so he invited Suke Saha with a thousand thanks, but Suke Saha did not plan to stay here for even one more hour, which made the gentry and people of Nanchang feel the danger of the Nanjiang region even more.
Suke Saha can come, Lang Tingzuo absolutely doesn't believe that he is giving him face, at least as a minion, he doesn't think he can have such a big face. However, when Sukh Saha came, he made a move that was exactly the opposite of his purpose, which made him have to persuade him hard, and he was directly choked back by Sukh Saha.
"The Red Yi Artillery Team of the Rebel Chen Kai ......"
At this point, there is no need to explain further. Lang Tingzuo is not a person who does not know the priorities, once he remembers that the Hongyi artillery bombarded the city wall and the Ming army swarmed in, even if he let Suke Sahado drink a glass of water now, he is afraid that it will become a crime of beheading in the future.
While secretly scolding Shang Geng and the two feudal clans for misleading the country, he was afraid that he would really say what was in his heart. So, the next thing I saw was that Lang Tingzuo hurriedly mobilized all the relevant officials, and tried his best to ensure that Sukh Saha's army would not delay even the slightest effort when it went south, and supported those officials like dogs that had been chased, until Sukh Saha passed through the city and went to the south of the city to finally relax.
"Jiujiang Town is almost here, all the affairs are ready, go quickly!"
The disparity of forces on the battlefield in Ganzhou gave the Qing court a sense of urgency, and the Qing army oppressed by this sense of urgency and seized all the time to help. Liu Guangbi's Jiangxi Banner was the first to arrive at Ji'an Prefecture, where it would be the meeting point of this support army, followed by Suke Saha, and finally Jiujiang Town.
When the Qing army in Jiujiang Town passed through Jishui County, north of Ji'an Prefecture, Zou Nan and others received the news as soon as possible. Since the member who had gone south to report the news had not yet returned, their fears continued to expand as the Qing army increased. As a result, it was easy to wait for the return, but at the same time what was obtained was the lack of unified command of the Ming army besieging Ganzhou.
"Next, do your best and let God do."
For them, there is nothing they can do, and it can be said that they have done everything they can, and then they can only watch the Qing army continue to go upstream.
After the city of Ji'an, continue to the south is Taihe, Wan'an County. The county seats of these two counties are on the banks of the Gan River, and the Qing army can easily obtain more supplies and people from the two counties. Out of Wan'an County is the Ganzhou Mansion, and even directly into the Ganzhou Prefecture attached to the boundary of Ganxian County.
The capital city of Ganzhou is located at the confluence of Zhangshui and Gongshui, surrounded by rivers on the north, east and west, so that the Ming army had to assemble in the southeast direction near the Kongtong mountain area after the confluence, so as to launch an attack on the capital city of Ganzhou from the south.
For the north, it was difficult for the Ming army to achieve effective control of the Ganjiang River without inland warships, and they never intended to surround the city, so the north was always undefended. This time, the Qing army came to aid in a big way, and the Ming army was not crazy enough to bypass the city to intercept the reinforcements, but simply remained in place, waiting for the Qing army to converge before confronting it.
rushed to the capital city of Ganzhou, and Suke Saha immediately took over the command here. Now it is only the tenth year of Yongli, and the Xianli calendar converted to the Qing court is the thirteenth year of Shunzhi, and this Nala clan here is not the only one of the four auxiliary ministers of the Kangxi Dynasty who has not two yellow flags, but only by virtue of his status as a senior officer of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, those green battalion generals, even the Han army bannermen, will never dare to have the slightest doubt in front of him.
The topography of Ganzhou is something that Suke Saha has learned in detail before he comes, and he has a more tangible feeling when he stands on the top of the city and looks at it. Next, he asked about the information that Hu Yousheng had recently collected, so that he could know himself and his opponent.
"Back to the master's words, the slave has been sending people to investigate the situation of the thieves recently, and now I know that the thieves are headed by Huangshan in Fujian and Ke Chenshu in Guangdong, and the Fujian thieves have dispatched 13,000 soldiers in the seven towns of the right commander, the right commander, the right town, the middle town, the left town, the right town, the front town and the Xiaoqi town; The Guangdong thieves dispatched the left commander and the left town, the left commander and the right town, the back chong town, the back strength town, the front town of the guard, the right town of the guard, and the iron cavalry town, which were also 13,000 soldiers from seven towns. ”
The Ming army had 26,000 soldiers, which was already very impressive. Now the Qing army in the capital city of Ganzhou consists of its headquarters Eight Banner Army, Jiangxi Banner, Jiujiang Town Standard, Southern Jiangxi Standard, Ganzhou Town Standard, Nan'an Standard, South Jiangxi Fubiao and a large number of city defense troops, totaling more than 30,000 troops.
Compared with the Ming army, it seems to be better, but in fact, most of the city garrison troops here are new pawns who lack sufficient combat experience, and the ones that can really come in handy are nothing more than the Eight Banners Army and those troops who raise the standard and town standard, which is about 20,000 or more, which may be slightly inferior to the Ming army.
Speaking of this, Hu Yousheng hurriedly mentioned a new trend, that is, the two Ming armies of Guangdong Fubiao and Hussar Town, which had originally appeared in Nanxiong Mansion and Nan'an Mansion, and even appeared in Ganzhou Mansion, suddenly disappeared, and even Chen Kai's banner disappeared together. As the commander of the Ming army in the southern Jiangxi region, Chen Kai's disappearance is definitely the most noteworthy.
Hu Yousheng narrated the results of his investigation and analysis, and Su Ke Saha just listened at first, but when he got to the back, he simply used the sentence "Hong Jingluo has led the traitor Chen Kai back to Guangdong", and ended the relevant discussion.
Over the years, Chen Kai's cunning has been well-known on the side of the Qing court, and with the demise of his opponents one by one, the officials in the Southern Jiangxi region, the Green Battalion, have also experienced these more personally in the past two years - as if it is the ability to predict the unpredictable prophet, the strange methods, and the strategic and tactical level cultivated over the years, all of which have given the Southern Jiangxi Qing army a suffocating pressure.
However, this time, such a terrifying character was unexpectedly played by Hong Chengchou and easily transferred away from the most important battlefield. The high level of ability of both sides has undoubtedly given the Ganzhou generals a shot in the arm.
In addition, according to Sukh Saha, Chen Kai's attack on the Southern Jiangxi region was too rapid, and Hong Chengchou had already managed to get more reinforcements. Moreover, the importance of Southern Jiangxi is well known to the world, and the current governor of Jiangnan and Jiangxi, Ma Mingpei, has also determined that he will transfer the Eight Banners Army and Green Battalion soldiers from Jiangnan into Jiangxi.
However, those Eight Banners and Green Battalions in the south of the Yangtze River could not arrive for a while, so they could only follow one after another. When they arrive, the Qing army will indeed have an advantage in strength, but the problem is that Chen Kai is not in the Ganzhou battlefield to coordinate the command of the fighters is likely to miss because of this, not to mention, what is more terrible is that the Hongyi artillery team in the hands of the Ming army is too great a threat to the Ganzhou capital.
Under the extension of the outer defense circle designed by Hu Yousheng, the steady Ming army spent a lot of time to realize the division. Next, the army converged, ensuring the stability of the various points, and then directly engaged in the Hongyi artillery team.
Since the Hongyi artillery team was captured by Chen Kai, it can be said that it has made many achievements. The southern city wall of Ganzhou has been blasted out of many cracks in the past few days, and this is the result of the original strength of the city wall, and the day and night repair of the Qing army defending the city. If nothing else, I am afraid that in a few days, the city wall will have to collapse devastatingly, and then it will not only be as simple as the city wall, but also the morale of the army assembled in the city will fall to the bottom.
"Chen Kai is not here, the traitor Huangshan and the traitor Ke Chenshu have the same status in Haikou, and they will become a constraint. Now is the best time to send troops to defeat the thieves! ”
