"Jianghushan Town? The last general heard that it is an important market town comparable to Yingtan and Shangqing in Guixi County, as if it is more than 80 miles away from the county seat. ”

"That place seems to be where the four great Kou of Jiangxi were once stationed."

Outside Guixi County, in the military camp of Fubiao, Fujian, two Qing army officers were reporting to Tong Guoqi the news they had inquired about in the big tent of the Chinese army.

Yesterday, Guixi County received news that the Ming army had entered the territory of Guangxin Mansion and began to build a large camp in Jianghushan Town. It was a Ming army under the banner of camping, and the scale was not large, about one or two hundred people. According to intelligence, judging from the weapons, it should have nothing to do with the superintendent under Chen Kai's direct jurisdiction, with some spears, rattan waist knives and firearms.

These two officers were both from the Fujian Green Battalion, and they also had some knowledge of the establishment of the Ming army. According to their earlier explanation to Tong Guoqi, the word "Fangsu" comes from the 28 constellations, and the Southeast Ming Army is subordinate to the five commanders and towns of the general camp, as well as the five towns and two associations of the superintendent, there are also 28 star camps. These battalions have always been used as a supplement and supplement to the army. For example, when Zheng Chenggong swept through Fujian, Chen Kai, who was based in Fuzhou, sent these troops to help in the battle on various fronts, and also sent them to garrison the recovered county seats. It can probably be regarded as a second-line unit in the head of the field battalion.

It is now November 23, and the Ming army and the Qing army have been fighting fiercely on the front line of Jianchang Mansion and Fuzhou Mansion for half a month. Chen Kai's earlier military intelligence from Zheng Chenggong for help was sent from Fuzhou to Quzhou, and from Quzhou to the front of the army. If it weren't for Ji Du still remembering that Tong Guoqi wanted to make meritorious contributions, it is estimated that even if this information passes through the two hands of Guangxin Mansion and Guixi County, it may not be his turn.

A large number of Fujian Ming troops entered Jiangxi from the shirt pass, and Chen Kai had the confidence to fight a war of attrition with Dasu. At the same time, due to the increasing strength of the Ming army in Jianchang Mansion, the Qing army in Guangxin Mansion also became more and more uneasy. As a result, the investigation of the mountainous areas in the southwest has also become more and more careful. As a result, it is not clear whether it was good luck or bad luck, and this thing really happened to them.

"Whether it is to outflank Ji'an Mansion or seize Guangxin Mansion, it is a good place for Chen Wei to break the deadlock. He now has a lot of troops in his hands, and he has to attack in many ways, even if he is lucky. ”

"What the old man of the Fu army said is extremely true, and after thinking about it, the last general also thinks so."

"That's what the Admiral thinks, too."

At this moment, the two officers standing in front of Tong Guoqi were not from the group of green battalion soldiers he brought out of Jianchang Mansion earlier, but they were transferred to Ji Du Xingwen a few days ago.

These two guys, one is the deputy general of the promotion, and when the army was defeated, he escaped with his own soldiers and family members; The other is the guerrilla of the Green Battalion of the former Yanping Mansion, who took his troops and horses around a big circle after he abandoned the city and fled, and even went around Guixi County one step earlier than him. The former has dozens of elite soldiers and family members in his hands, and the latter has nearly 400 troops under his command.

As for why Tong Guoqi chose to protect them from Jidu at this time, it was not because of the more than 500 green battalion soldiers with a complete structure, but because of the rank of a deputy general and a guerrilla general of the two of them. Because, among the two thousand green battalion soldiers he brought back, none of them were originally officers above the general level, and even if he was promoted all the way, he would be promoted to the garrison at most.

A patrol battalion is normally commanded by an adjutant general, and a series of officers such as guerrillas, garrisons, thousands, and generals are formed to form a chain of command from top to bottom. This is the imperial court system, the Qing court is like this, and the Ming court is also like this, or the Qing court has learned from the Ming court in this hand. In this way, the absence of senior officers is likely to face the possibility of being mixed with sand. This is not only very unfavorable to his next plan, but more importantly, from Jianchang Mansion, Tong Guoqi germinated the idea of mastering an army, just like Chen Kai's supervision......

The two guys in front of him, one abandoned the army and fled, and the other abandoned the city and fled, but in line with the principle of using it without merit, Tong Guoqi guaranteed them to Jidu for their meritorious service. After these two people landed a little in their hanging hearts, they have been helping Tong Guoqi train soldiers and rectify military discipline these days, which can be regarded as conscientious.

Now, the Ming army has appeared in the territory of Guangxin Mansion, and in terms of intelligence, Tong Guoqi has already taken the lead in those Jiangxi civil and military forces. Not only did they have a better understanding of the establishment of the Ming Army in the southeast, but the analysis of the military situation based on this was also more effective.

"The last general heard that the Guixi County Ya seems to have found a storyteller to question."

The county government, its main responsibility is administration and litigation, some local small-scale civil unrest or clan fighting, they can intervene, but this time it was the Ming army. This kind of thing should still be handed over to the green camp to deal with, and the county government is responsible for some logistics work, but after all, it happened in this county, and it is not even a hundred miles away from the county seat. As long as they don't really design a Ten Thousand Immortal Array according to "Romance of the Gods", it will be harmless.

Of course, the Ming army of this scale is obviously not something that the green battalion of this county can deal with. As a result, the chief military officer of Guangxin Mansion personally led the team with a thousand green battalions, infantry, cavalry, and artillery, and planned to play a lion fight rabbit, so as to completely defeat Chen Kai's bad intentions against Guangxin Mansion.

After arriving in Guixi County, I don't know whether it was deliberate, or because the camp of Fujian Fubiao happened to be not far from the official road, these Jiangxi green camps swaggered through the city in front of the camp gate of the Fujian green camp.

In the big tent of the Chinese army in the distance, Tong Guoqi looked at all this with an expressionless face. It wasn't until the green camp of Guangxin Mansion gradually disappeared from their sight that he sneered: "A group of things that don't know whether they are dead or alive" and turned back to the big tent of the Chinese army. Subsequently, he actually made the generals under his command ready to go to the battle.

As Tong Guoqi expected, in less than three days, there was only a group of remnants left in this green battalion. However, after all, the general army of Guangxin Mansion was not as dead-minded as the governor of Fujian, and once the army was defeated, he turned around and fled almost without hesitation. It's just that it doesn't matter if he runs like this, the Ming army, who didn't catch this big fish, looked angry and simply rushed out of the mountains in the south of Guixi County. Look at that momentum, it seems that Guixi County is also going to be ended!

"How many soldiers and horses are there in the thief?!"

If it weren't for the fact that it didn't seem to be very formal, Tong Guoqi would have already grabbed the collar of the general soldier of Guangxin Mansion. But even so, the angry eyes still startled the general, who had just recovered from his state of shock.

The first general soldier was pulled by the collar like this, especially in front of the officers of the Fujian Green Battalion, the local magistrate, and the subordinates of the Green Battalion of the prefecture, and he was absolutely unable to get over his face. However, Tong Guoqi is the governor, the banner man, or the uncle of the country, and which identity is not comparable to him as a Han general. What's more, the Ming army pursued the victory, and the mobile forces of Guangxin Mansion had been lost by him, and what he could count on now was the defeat of these remnants of Fujian, at least many of them were not on their backs.

"Don't hide it from Tong Fujun, the previous information is wrong, there are not only one or two hundred thieves, but five or six hundred, a full battalion leader!"

1,000 people fought 5 or 600 people, and twice the strength of the army returned with a big defeat, of course, there is no such reason. Fortunately, he was able to be the chief soldier, and his knowledge was still much stronger than ordinary people: "This battle is indeed careless and fell into the ambush of thieves." However, the thieves deliberately hid the general's flag earlier, and this time the general can be regarded as seeing it clearly. Someone is coming, but it's Lin Dexiao, the brother of the famous thief Lin Dezhong! ”

Lin Dexiao, this name really surprised everyone here. Speaking of which, this Ming army general did not show his face in the previous major counteroffensives of the Ming army, and now he is just a guerrilla general, which can be described as a very appropriate word for an unknown person. But the problem is that this unknown man has a very famous brother, after all, he is the commander of the Ming Army who has shook the Eight Banners Army, the elder brother is so capable of fighting, and he is definitely not a guy to mess with when he is a younger brother.

Hearing this name, Tong Guoqi's anger disappeared without a trace in an instant. The right hand holding the collar opened lightly, his eyebrows were locked, and he paused for a moment before speaking again: "Lin Dexiao is Chen Hui's cronies, since Chen Wei asked him to come to Guangxin Mansion to supervise the construction of the camp, it is obvious that he wants to use Jianghushan Town as a breakthrough to attack Guangxin Mansion. And as the vanguard of the army, the combat power of that camp is not much lower than that of those thieves. ”

Tong Guoqi calmly analyzed the current situation, and when the general soldier heard this, he was even more amnesty, and even claimed that Tong Guoqi's judgment was yes. So, when Tong Guoqi said that he needed to report these judgments to Prince Zheng Jidu, the general soldier who was so moved that he was about to shed tears hurriedly expressed his willingness to countersign the report.

Soon, Tong Guoqi's emergency report was hastily written, and the chief soldier read it carefully and determined that the former did not secretly lay any nails, and he was even more relieved. However, the detective horse detective knew that the Ming army had already killed out of the southern mountains and was coming towards Guixi County. This is what is really imminent than the punishment that may come. After all, the defeat of the army is already defeated, if he loses the county seat again, the crime is added to the crime, how can he, a Han general, bear it?

"The forest thief is so bold, there must be a thief behind him. The last general dared to love Tong Fujun to lead Fujian Pao Ze into the city, and guarded this Guixi county town with the soldiers and horses of the headquarters. ”

Although I don't know who Tong Guoqi pulled him in front of, since people are willing to help, he naturally has to repay him. Of course, it's more of an attitude. After all, this Guixi county is located on the north bank of the Xinjiang River, and if the Ming army wants to attack, they must first cross the Xinjiang River.

However, Tong Guoqi did not agree with this suggestion, but just shook his head and continued to think. Seeing this, the general soldier gritted his teeth: "The thieves are powerful, and the last general dares to love Tong Fujun to lead Fujian Pao Ze into the city and defend this city together." During the defense of the city, the last general is willing to obey the order, and there is no other word! ”

From guarding together to obeying orders, the general army can be said to have made a bloody investment. This is not only a change of command, but also involves the division of work after defending the city in the future. At this moment, the chief soldier saw that Tong Guoqi pulled him, and pinched his nose to pull this relationship. However, Tong Guoqi's courage is far from what he can imagine.

"The headquarters has no intention of competing with Zeng Shuai for the command of the city guard. Now the thieves are menacing, if our troops defend the city, the south of the Xinjiang River will no longer be owned by the imperial court. Chen was scheming, fearing that his conspiracy would succeed, and the headquarters decided to lead Fujian Fubiao south to meet the thieves. ”

These words fell in his ears, and the general soldiers still didn't understand, this Tong Guoqi was clearly the great merit of monopolizing the repelling of the Ming army, and he was not given it to him at all!

Comparing his heart to his heart, Tong Guoqi first lost Fujian, and then lost Xincheng County, and the culpability is enough to go to the guillotine. Seeing that there is an opportunity to make meritorious contributions here, it is natural that it will be like a maggot that can see stinky shit, and he can't wait to pounce on it. However, he has just been defeated, so why doesn't he need to make meritorious contributions?

was indignant in his heart, but once he thought of Tong Guoqi's identity, the confidence to compete with him was as if the balloon had leaked, and it wilted down in an instant. So far, I can only comfort myself, at least Tong Guoqi had endorsed it just now, and probably the face of the unknown mysterious power is so much.

As if he saw what the general soldier thought, Tong Guoqi immediately said loudly: "Zeng Shuai led his troops to defend the city, and the headquarters will report to His Royal Highness Prince Zheng, which was arranged by this official." If the headquarters can break the enemy, Zeng Shuai should have the merit of guarding the back road for the official; If the headquarters fails to do so, please also ask Zeng Shuai to defend the city, so as not to threaten the flank of the Quzhou army. ”

After that, Tong Guoqi, who is the uncle of the country, actually bowed to the general soldier, the Han general, and then strode away with the general of the Fujian Green Battalion. It's just that the righteousness without hesitation really made the chief soldier stunned for a long time, and even in the end, he pinched his arm hard to make sure that everything just now was not his dream.
