Chapter 64: Repeating the Old Trick (9)

It's just a moment. After leaving Guangchang County, the guerrilla general led his army north with the adjutant. The only difference is that when they come, they are going upstream, but this time they are going downstream, even if the ship needs to carry more "goods", I don't know how much, and the speed is not the same.

The rapid withdrawal of the troops also spread panic rapidly. The first to suffer was Guangchang County, when the Fujian Green Camp was withdrawn, the gentry and wealthy families in the city also moved their families out of the city to take refuge.

As the saying goes, small chaos goes to the city, big chaos goes to the countryside. If it is an ordinary thief, with the city wall as a barrier, the defender as a support, and a complete administrative system as a support, Fuxian City is naturally the safest place. Thieves, at most, are just making trouble in the countryside and towns, and they can't make much of a storm, and they are harmless in the overall situation of the officials. However, the Ming army is not an ordinary thief, and even the Fujian Green Battalion of more than 2,000 people is just "retreating after a miserable victory".

The troubled times have lasted for so many years, even if they don't understand the reason, but by habit, there are also a large number of gentry and rich families flocking out. Even with them, the ordinary people in the city also went out of the city one after another, those who had relatives joined their relatives, and those who had friends relied on friends. Even, even the guards guarding the city gate have many desertions, how can they control others?

Listening to those loyal subordinates reciprocating the current situation with expectant eyes, the garrison and the magistrate glanced at each other, and saw the same desolation in each other's eyes, as if they were looking in a mirror.

From ancient times to the present, the city has fallen, and the vassals have an unshirkable responsibility. They were not as rich as Fujian Wenwu, and they could spend millions of taels of silver to bribe those Eight Banner relatives and nobles who could not be easily provoked by the emperor in the early Qing Dynasty. Recall that after the last time the Ming army invaded Southern Jiangxi, wasn't that unlucky Yi Yonggui thrown to Ningguta by the Qing court for the crime of defeat and loss of land to be enslaved by the armored people. That's still a governor's feudal official, and he is also a banner man, with a noble master above, and a colleague who is also a slave to help speak, and there is no less fishing in the governor's position, and it is enough to slip up and down, they are a group of small characters, and the more they think about it, the more they are a dead end.

When surrender or death became a question, they became even less concerned about the people who fled the city. Such a situation in Guangchang County, along with the northward return of Fujian Green Camp, quickly spread along the Jianchang River. For a time, Guangchang County, Nanfeng County, and even Jianchang Mansion City were in the air!

The entire Jianchang Mansion quickly became a mess, or Ming Zhe to protect himself, or stubbornly resisted to the end, or avoided the countryside, or sat in the city of sorrow, all kinds of thoughts fell into the clear spring like a boulder, and everything buried deep under the calm turned out.

In the midst of chaos, the Qing army that returned north consistently carried out the plan consistently. Regarding the fear of the local government and the green battalion along the way, they also had only one caliber from beginning to end, that is, the Ming army was powerful, and there was no army of 30,000 or 40,000, but also 20,000 or 30,000 horses, and Chen Kai personally commanded the army. In this way, they will naturally be "outnumbered", and for the sake of the overall situation, it is inevitable to take advantage of the victory and turn in.

Yes, for the sake of the big picture, for the big picture, for the big picture, it's not too much to say something important thirty times!

The request for assistance in defense was constantly sent to the deputy general in Nanfeng County, in Jianchang Fucheng, and along the way, and the benefits were even rising with the panic caused by the attack of the Ming army.

However, the deputy general was a commander who was brave and loyal to him, and he was completely unmoved by these coercion and temptations, and quickly rushed back to Xincheng County with his own troops and horses. The only thing that seems to be kind is that since Baishui Town, there has been no large-scale robbery of ships along the way, and it is nothing more than a sporadic "supplement" in the countryside town, and the left side of the county is a little more regular. They even hinted that the ships were faster than their legs when they ran away......

Such thoughtfulness really made the officials and generals along the way even more frightened. But the problem is that the adjutant general really lacks self-knowledge, who doesn't know what kind of things the green battalion soldiers are, and there are such kind-hearted ones, how can they all reveal some weird colors. As a result, many of the officials and generals along the way were suspicious in addition to panic and fear, and there was always such a thought - the Ming army was coming, would it be a farce directed and acted by these Fujian green battalions.

Kindness is treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, and the deputy generals have no way of knowing. They hurried back to Xincheng County, handed over the work of resettlement troops to their officers, and the adjutant generals and guerrillas rushed to the governor's yamen in the county seat without stopping. There, Fujian Admiral Yang Minggao and the general soldier of Yanping Mansion had already received the news, and together with Tong Guoqi, Zhou Lianggong and other high-level officials, they were anxiously waiting for the real situation.

"You mean, you didn't see Chen Kai's handsome flag?"

"If you return to the old man of the Fu Army, you really didn't see Chen Kai's handsome banner. However, the flags of Lin Dezhong and Wang Han's generals can be seen clearly when the last general does not collect them at night. ”

After a questioning, these old oilmen who have been immersed in officialdom for many years still smelled something suspicious. During this period, the guerrilla generals replied categorically, but it made them have some doubts -- after all, fighting for merit is the most indispensable thing in ancient and modern Chinese and foreign officialdom. Since they have retreated, they must find a reasonable explanation. Only by changing the nature of fleeing from the battle into taking advantage of victory can it be possible to escape responsibility.

Sure enough, after re-understanding some of the details through questioning, Tong Guoqi, Yang Minggao and others strengthened their opinions. It's just that the original intention of their disposal is still for the sake of their group. Once I thought that if I really lost troops and generals in Guangchang County, although it was true that I had served the imperial court, there was never a shortage of people in the court who were worried about the country and the people who looked at their group of "people who lost their teachers and lost their land", and no one was willing to face the inevitable blame.

"When Chen Wei's army is coming, it must be to attack the Ji'an official army from Jianchang Mansion. Deng Guerrilla dealt with it decisively, especially the fire set in Baishui Town, which effectively delayed the speed of the bandits' advance. Subsequently, after receiving the news, Vice General Wang set up an ambush in the south of Guangchang County to repel the arrogant thieves, and he was also quite a general. This official will jointly play the imperial court, and ask for credit for the two of you and all the soldiers at the same time. ”

Tong Guoqi set the tone, and this matter can be regarded as qualitative. They have always been a community of interests, so naturally they want to share the same spirit. His cronies can do this, and they, as officials, are indispensable to protect their calves. In other words, they are grasshoppers on a rope, and no one who is unlucky will fall well!

In front of them, Tong Guoqi and Yang Minggao quickly drafted an emergency report. Some were sent to the Yamen of the Governor of Nanchang, Jiangxi, some were sent to the Yamen of Huguang and Changsha in the southwest of the country, and some were reported to their direct superiors, Prince Zheng Jidu Dayying stationed in Quzhou, Zhejiang. In addition, they are all located in the feudal territory, even if they are defeated, but the phoenix is a phoenix after all, and there is still the right to fold the work, and it is necessary for an urgent report of 800 miles to be directly sent to the Qing court. As for the masters behind each other, it is even more right, great changes are coming, and they must be prepared before they can turn the crisis into safety.

Of course, notices and performances are to be done, but from the standpoint of all parties, verbal battles are inevitable. Those such as how to deal with the battle of the mouth after winning the war, and how to deal with the battle of the mouth if the war is lost, these major events related to the rise and fall of the country are no longer qualified for military generals of their level to observe.

Leaving the Admiral's Yamen, the big stone in the hearts of the two of them can be regarded as falling to the ground. After a long breath of air, Vice General Wang couldn't help but glance at this Deng Guerrilla.

He has always boasted of his martial bravery, and he fought hard in every battle before he climbed to his current high position step by step. However, this time the Ming army is attacking in a big way, and with such a little soldier under his command who has no fighting spirit, even if he is brave, Guan Zhang is afraid that it will be more than lucky. Not to mention, he really didn't deserve to be compared to those ancient brave generals.

This is already a certain death, and he also has the heart to die. However, at this moment, the original death situation was reversed by this person. If you think about it carefully, it seems to be thrilling, but it is clearly a thorough calculation of the minds of these officials and colleagues, which is really breathtaking.

In the old days, he would only have despised such slippery guys. But for many years, I have enjoyed a lot of wealth and glory, and it is inevitable that I will not give up when I die. Now, not only can he better serve the court and serve the marshal, but he can also turn the crisis into safety, which is really a double win, public and private, so how can he not have a good impression of this Deng guerrilla Dasheng. With such a fateful friendship, along the way, the two talked happily, and after a meal, they were even more like brothers of a sibling.

According to the experience and analysis of Tong Guoqi, Yang Minggao and others, the first time the news spreads, the first reaction of the yamen everywhere should be shock, and then the merit is to take credit. By the time they reacted and were ready to fight, the Ming army was estimated to have begun to string sugar gourds along the Jianchang River. At that time, a war of words was inevitable, and the Qing court would not make a decision until the war was over. The verdict is based on the achievements of all parties in this war. As for the real merits and demerits, they are not important in officialdom.

"There are only 200 green battalions in Guangchang County, and the city was repaired once after the fall of Nangan that year, but it was only a little repair of the damaged places. There is no female wall, watchtower, and fort, and the guards are still the old things when the four major Kou in Jiangxi were cleared, and they have been piled up in the warehouse for almost ten years, and they are all about to be buried in the dust. ”

With that contempt, it was determined that Guangchang County could not hold on to the implication of words. If it weren't for the fact that the person who said this was wearing an official uniform of the Qing Dynasty, I was afraid that I would have thought that the Ming army was wishing victory.

Since ancient times, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent has been invincible. The situation of the Ming army's attack was best known to the Qing court in Jiangxi. Moreover, along the way of the withdrawal, they misled those friendly troops in Jiangxi to a certain extent, and widened the gap between them. At this moment, the main force of the army has also retreated to the rear, and there is the green battalion of Jianchang Mansion as cannon fodder in front, which can be described as waiting for work. In addition, on the ground of Jianchang Mansion, the strength of the Jiangxi Green Battalion is far inferior to their guest army, and now the Ming army marshal Huangshan is fighting with the Qing army on the front line of Ji'an, and the city of Jianchang Mansion must not be lost, and they are naturally able to rely on it in a short time.

The innate advantage is huge, Tong Guoqi and Yang Minggao are naturally sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai platform, just waiting for the great work to fall into their hands like a pie!

Of course, looking up at the sky and stretching out your arms is not enough. Tong Guoqi and Zhou Lianggong are both veterans of military affairs, and Yang Minggao is a battle-hardened general, on the one hand, they are looking forward to victory, and on the other hand, they also know that victory will not come in vain. Therefore, while they were dispatching meticulous work and horse scouting in batches, and even officials to obtain information in the direction of Jianchang Fucheng, they did not forget to hoard grain and grass, train soldiers, and prepare to use the ability to take care of the house to carry out this trick of the yellow sparrow.

With the hope of being promoted to an official position and making a fortune, the Fujian Green Battalion was full of spirits, and the combat effectiveness of the army was also restored to a certain extent after a meal of chickens and dogs. And Wang Xiuqi on the other side of Wuyi Mountain, their main opponent in recent years, seems to have died down out of cooperation with Zheng Chenggong's offensive in Zhejiang, and there is even news that the soldiers and horses of two of the towns have even been transferred to Zhejiang.

Wang Xiuqi was unable to attack, so they could face Chen Kai without distraction. Everything seems to be going well, but after some time, the news of the fall of Guangchang County has not been delayed, which is really worrying.

However, when they finally got the news, it turned out that the defenders of Guangchang County claimed to have fought desperately and bloodily for several days and nights, relying on the plans of the Holy Lord Hongfu, officials at all levels, and the lives of the soldiers, and had already thwarted the first round of the Ming army's offensive. Now, the Ming army has stopped under the city and cannot advance an inch!
