The southern Jiangxi region connects several provinces, and it is also a military important place for heavy garrisons to assist in the defense of various provinces. The capital city of Ganzhou is the heart of the southern Jiangxi region, just like Guangzhou is to Guangdong and Fuzhou is to Fujian.

A series of offensives earlier by the Ming army, from the east and south directions to the Ganzhou Mansion City, the peripheral Tingzhou Mansion, Nanxiong Mansion, Nan'an Mansion have all fallen into the control of the Ming army, and now the Ganzhou Mansion is under the city, and only one Chenzhou Mansion is still in the hands of the Qing court in the entire Southern Jiangxi region, nothing more.

The strategic significance there is far lower than Nanchang, and Chen Kai did not have the obsessive-compulsive disorder shown by Liu Wenxiu in the Battle of Baoning, once he took the capital city of Ganzhou, the next goal was naturally to choose between Nanchang and Hong Chengchou.

"What if, I want both?"

Late at night, the capital city of Ganzhou has been settled, the Ming army has completed the work of clearing the remnants of the Qing army in the city, while the officials fled, the local officials did not hesitate to change the court, and did the work of Zhang Bang Anmin with all their might, lest they would displease Chen Kai and ask those soldiers to cut them into pieces.

Out of fear of power, they no longer have the brain capacity to think about whether they are worthy of the Iron Man's sword, but looking at their current hard work, no one will laugh at them with this, just as they will not put this worry into words.

After the success of the First World War, the Ming army in Ganzhou was already a general trend. Among them, there is no lack of Ganzhou Tiandihui's upper and lower operations, so that the Ming army westward, northward two groups of more than 20,000 soldiers, plus a large number of auxiliary soldiers for grain and grass needs, even if it is necessary to cross the mountains of western Fujian, need to face the Qing army to interfere with the shipping of northern Guangdong, need to feed thousands of miles of multiple difficulties, with the mutual aid of the storage can also achieve effective supplements, rather than falling into the embarrassment of "soldiers can not eat again a day".

"The grain, grass, and people provided by the mutual aid association will be subsidized in the future in terms of tax reduction and exemption and forced labor, and the official will not let the righteous people suffer."

"The instructions of the gentleman should be conveyed by the students, so that the gentry and the people of Ganzhou know which side is really trustworthy and trustworthy."

The members of the Heaven and Earth Society are still busy with the logistics of the war in various counties, and Tao Qian Chen Kai, who accompanied the army, had already seen it when he returned to the front line in Ganzhou. Of course, the existence of the Heaven and Earth Society, Chen Kai still planned to interview Zheng Chenggong after the war was over, because there were many things in it that were difficult to explain clearly based on the words of the letters.

is still playing an official tone, but Huangshan also knows that Chen Kai trained a group of Jiangxi gentry to return to their hometown to lurk and accumulate strength, Tao Qian is one of them. And these people are also developing other like-minded figures, and this war has produced great benefits.

After talking about this, Chen Kai talked about some other matters. It is no longer the same as before, the Ganzhou government has been recovered, and this is no longer the control area of the Qing court, and after the latent work is completed, the next stage of work will be changed to assist the local government to restore people's livelihood and accumulate greater strength. These jobs are safer than latent and eruptive, but busyness is even better.

"Those righteous people, the official will arrange it at his discretion after meeting with the national surname."

Fengguan made a wish, and Huangshan had already done it earlier. However, the other gentry are okay, and most of the members of the Heaven and Earth Society are actually not very concerned about this, because these Chen Kai have hinted earlier, implying that after recovering the lost land, they need to take on greater responsibilities for the country and the people. The Heaven and Earth Society itself has an organization, and also has some basic beliefs, such as opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, coupled with Chen Kai's own prestige, especially after this battle, the great feats of killing thousands of Manchurian Eight Banners, the members of the Heaven and Earth Society are naturally more determined to develop within this organization, and under the east wind that the organization will become stronger and stronger, while achieving the phased goals of the society, some personal visions will be realized.

Chen Kai has always believed that selfishness is not terrible, as long as it is well guided, it can be beneficial to the country and the nation, and it can also be beneficial to the organization and individuals. After all, when the water is clear, there are no fish, and when people are observed, there are no disciples, and everyone cannot be expected to be Yue Fei, Wen Tianxiang, Hai Rui, and Qi Jiguang.

After pacifying the personnel of the Ganzhou Heaven and Earth Society, Chen Kai was able to stabilize the hearts of the people in this area. With a stable rear, the war can be carried on next. At least, he didn't intend to end this war so easily, especially at the moment when Li Dingguo escorted him into Yunnan, he was bound to take on greater responsibility.

Chen Kai decided to use the commander of Huangshan to the right commander of the left and right towns, to aid the middle town, to aid the front town, to aid the left town, to aid the right town, to the Xiaoqi town, and the nine towns of Houjin Town and Tieqi Town, which originally belonged to the Beishang Group, and to go north through Ji'an Mansion to Nanchang Mansion. At the same time, Ke Chenshu led the soldiers and horses of the three towns of Zuo Commander Zuo Town and Houchong Town, and joined the troops of Yingde County to protect Zuo Town, Zhongquan Town, Hussar Town, Guangdong Fubiao, Ma Bao and Wang Han to the south to fight a decisive battle with Hong Chengchou.

In this way, the Beishang group was strengthened in terms of troops, and took advantage of the victory to strive to sweep Jiangxi Province. Although there are few troops going south, Hong Chengchou's specimen is to go deep into the hinterland of the Ming army, and Ke Chenshu can not only join the troops of Yingde County, but also Guangzhou, Sanshui, and Qingyuan to help suppress Houzhen, Defend Zhongzhen and Qianchong Town. Even if it is only to merge the troops of Yingde County, it can also achieve an advantage in strength for Hong Chengchou. What's more, Chen Kai even rebuilt the Iron Man Army named Guangdong Fubiao's Battalion B, just to let Hong Chengchou drink this pot of liquor that poured Suke Saha into the point that he almost vomited two taels of blood.

From the capture of Tingzhou Mansion and Nanxiong Mansion to the joint attack on Ganzhou, the Ming army basically did not stop. After a great battle, fatigue was inevitable, so it was inevitable that the two armies would have to have some time to recuperate before they left for their respective battlefields. Otherwise, the soldiers will be resentful, and it will be detrimental to the war.

During this period, Chen Kai had already made a work plan to appease and motivate, and at the same time, he was also trying to block the news in Guangdong in the south, so as not to prevent Hong Chengchou from getting the news in advance, causing Ke Chenshu to pounce, which would not be beautiful.

At the same time, the two armies are exhausted, and Chen Kai will also lead the guards of the front town and the right town of Ganzhou after the army sets out, thinking that the two armies will be the link and reinforcement. took over Yi Yonggui's Nanjiang Governor Yamen, Chen Kai sat in it, prepared all the plans, and discussed them with the generals, and the chilling eyes were thrown in the north and south directions at the same time.

………………

Ji'an Mansion, which is adjacent to the capital city of Ganzhou, where tens of thousands of troops were gathered by the Ming and Qing dynasties, has a deeper atmosphere of war here than in other parts of Jiangxi.

The warehousing of the prefecture and county yamen was constantly on the front line of shipment, especially with the southward reinforcement of the army led by the Eight Banners of Manchuria, and the transportation task here was even busier. The county has invited Zou Nan many times, hoping that the mutual aid association can provide more manpower and material resources. In this regard, Zou Nan had already discussed with other members of the Ji'an Tiandi Association, but this time he suggested that the magistrate should hurry up and scavenge the grain and grass from those ordinary people. As for the reason, it is very simple, lest those people flee the famine, and the bamboo basket will be empty.

Of course, mutual aid associations are impossible to pull out a dime. After all, after the operation of the Ganzhou Tiandi Society, there was already news from there, saying that the mutual aid club over there showed signs of turning to support the Ming army. The war is chaotic and the time is still short, and the news is not yet clear. In this way, it is also to dispel the suspicions of some local officials.

They were still making the final preparations, and soon, the news reached Jishui County, saying that the reinforcements led by Suke Saha and Hu Yousheng's defenders went out of the city to fight together, but they were defeated by the Ming army in a battle, and they fled out of Ganzhou in embarrassment.

"God bless Daming, God bless Daming!"

The friend from Nanchang was still waiting for news here, and when he heard about this, even if he cheered, if it wasn't for Zou Nan forcibly covering his mouth, he would have known all over the hospital if he couldn't get this throat.

In this regard, Zou Nan was also as excited as he was. However, compared to his friend, he is not young after all, he has experienced more things, he naturally has more experience, and his psychological tolerance will be stronger. Therefore, the members of the Heaven and Earth Society on the side of Ji'an Mansion have always been headed by him, and even the Nanchang side is faintly looking at him. Hearing such good news here, he was excited at first, but his second reaction suddenly fell silent, and his friend was immediately confused.

"Brother Zou?"

"This doesn't seem to be the right way to go."

Frowning, I couldn't help but think about it. The abnormal taste gradually systematized as the train of thought unfolded, and after a long time, the friend finally got an idea that sounded very reasonable.

"I think that back then, Jin Shenghuan's defeat in Ganzhou was directly withdrawn to Nanchang. Now the Tartar soldiers have lost all Ganzhou, but they have only withdrawn to Fucheng, they are so fearless, it is definitely not right! ”

These two, in fact, can not be compared similarly - Jin Shenghuan's lair is Nanchang, the Qing army was killed from Jiujiang, and the troops did not advance in Nangan, and of course they had to go back to defend if there was a danger in the fundamental place. This time, Chen Kai came from Guangdong and seized the city of Ganzhou, and whether the Qing army retreated to Ji'an or Nanchang is not inevitable. However, Zou Nan couldn't think of a suitable comparison for a while, and he thought of this from the beginning, and when he said it here, he felt that it was a matter of course.

However, such a statement also caused a friend to think deeply, Zou Nan remembered that Chen Kai mentioned in the lecture that he should not act recklessly as soon as his mind is hot, which is very unfavorable to latent work. Calm, calm, and calm, it was easy to suppress this excitement, Zou Nan decided to go to Ji'an Mansion City in person, and use his own eyes to see what kind of situation there was.

He did what he said, and the next morning he set off for Ji'an Fucheng. There, compared to Jishui County, which has Fucheng as a barrier to the south, it has always been more tense, and the investigation along the way is quite strict, and Rao is Zou Nan's status as a lifter did not let him get too much preferential treatment.

It was easy to rush to Fucheng, where it was already a sea of rout. The market is chaotic, full of routs who have lost their blades and armor, don't look at their embarrassment, but it is still quite unreasonable to snatch the people's things. It was a severe beating at every turn, and the local officials and green battalions also turned a blind eye to this, as for the generals and officials who had withdrawn, and the local green battalions and officials in Ji'an Prefecture were also very busy, so naturally they didn't have much effort to pay attention to these necessary vents.

Zou Nan followed his memory and found an old friend who lived in the city. This person had a deep relationship with the Qing court officials in Ji'an Prefecture, and his temperament was quite weak, so he did not dare to participate in the anti-Qing movement in the first place, so he did not rashly absorb him. In the meantime, finding this person, Zou Nan came under the banner of visiting friends, and asked some about the rout of the Qing army.

"The loss of soldiers in Jiangxi and Jiujiang Town is not too much, but there are also a lot, and the main loss is still the local green camp towns in Nanjiang, and many battalion leaders are now only left in a name. In addition, more than half of the Eight Banners of Manchuria were damaged and were routed by an ironclad infantry. Wow, sir, that's really ruthless. After the excitement, Zou Nan suddenly found that his earlier question had not been answered at all, but he was even more incomprehensible.

"It's been beaten into such a miserable appearance, and you still have to defend the city of Ji'an, what is this Suke Saha thinking?"

………………

The members of the Heaven and Earth Society in Ji'an Mansion were still waiting for the results of Zou Nan's investigation, and even waiting for Chen Kai's order, the situation was very good, and the anxiety in their hearts was inevitable.

Equally anxious is the heavy army group with the Ming army in the middle, located in the hinterland of northern Guangdong, and the southwest meridian standard is nothing more than taking advantage of the Ming army's large-scale northward march, and the emptiness of troops in northern Guangdong can realize the current threat. However, going deep into the hinterland is going deep into the hinterland after all, and now it is also in a state of confrontation with the Ming army in Yingde County, and in Qingyuan County, which has been harassed to the south, the military general named Zhou Quanbin seems to have seen their intentions early on, and he will strictly defend it there, leaving no chance at all, which is really hateful.

In the middle of the night, the Chinese army's tent at the main camp of the Qing army south of Huangshui was still brightly lit. Hong Chengchou is old, and his sleep is much less than when he was young, but at this hour, he is still standing in front of the table that has laid out the map, bending over, squinting his eyes, and thinking about the current battle situation over and over again in the light of the lights.

In the final analysis, this war was the reshuffling of the forces in Guangxi, Guangdong, and the southern Jiangxi region after Li Dingguo's westward advance, and the Qing army wanted to take advantage of the weakness to enter, and Chen Kai wanted to take the opportunity to gnaw the hard bones of Southern Jiangxi.

These were all in Hong Chengchou's mind from the beginning of the incident, and the forces of the two sides were intertwined in this vast area, and there were tens of thousands of troops attacking between the advance and retreat. At present, Wuzhou is a clear attack and defense, while Ganzhou is the opposite, but this Yingde County is the pattern of confrontation between the two sides.

In a state of confrontation, Hong Chengchou's purpose was naturally to contain Chen Kai, so as to achieve the advantage of the other two battlefields, no matter how this advantage was realized, it was worth his risk. But today is different from usual, even after nightfall, looking at this map, the sense of smell accumulated over the years has made Hong Chengchou's confidence in the past weakly shaken, so that he can't even afford to sleep this night.
