The sails of the large and small ships on the river are blowing.

Outside Nanjing, on the river near the Wuma Ferry, several large ships, puffed up their sails, and headed towards the upper reaches of the Yangtze River against the west wind. On the riverside, dozens of people who came to see them off looked at these boats that were struggling to move forward in the wind, and they couldn't help but feel a feeling.

"Chaozong was originally a good son of the turbid world, and he was pretentious with poetry and wine. I don't want to subvert the way of the world and the way of the saint is about to overturn, so I resolutely threw myself up, which shows that my way is not alone! ”

"Exactly! The saint has preached for thousands of years, and the dynasty has raised scholars for more than 200 years. But how can anyone who has a heart and heart endure to see the saint crying in Jiuquan and sit idly by? ”

"Zhongda bullies orphans and the same, how can he care for a long time. Do you know whether you know whether you change the seal between the Yao seals, and the Bante Fujiang self-transformed dragon. "Someone chanted Zeng Ji's "Five Horse Crossing" in the Song Dynasty. Wumadu is located at the northern foot of the Shogunate Mountain, the Shogunate Mountain has enjoyed the common scenery of the rivers and mountains since ancient times, the reputation of the auspicious land of the six dynasties, among the forty-eight views of Jinling in the Ming and Qing dynasties, only the surrounding of the Shogunate Mountain occupies six views (Shogunate Ascending, Dharma Ancient Cave, Yongji River, Hualong Lidi, Jiashan Wenjing, Yanji Sunset), among which the "Dragon Lidi" refers to the place where "the five horses float into a dragon". In the first year of Yongjia in the Western Jin Dynasty, that is, in 307 AD, the five kings of the Sima clan crossed the Yangtze River in the area from Shangyuanmen to Yanziji, and were said to be the five kings of Langya, Pengcheng, Xiyang, Runan, and Nanton. Later, there was a ballad called "Five Horses Floating Crossing **** Turned into Dragons". Ten years later, in 317 AD, Sima Rui, the king of Langya, proclaimed himself emperor and established the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Therefore, it was later called "Wumadu".

Zeng Ji's meaning in the poem "Five Horse Crossing", at this time, this scene is very compatible.

At the meeting of Jiming Temple, the Fushe and the Jiangnan Group raised millions of taels of silver, hundreds of thousands of stones, grains and grass, and handed them over to Hou Fangyu to trace the river, and asked Zuo Liangyu to send an army from Jiujiang to Nanjing to persuade Li Shouhan, the Duke of Liang, and Ma Shiying, Ma Shoufu, to temporarily stop the exchange of silver money that harmed the people and change to new money.

Hou Fangyu in the cabin was also analyzing the success or failure of this trip in his mind. In the worship box he carried, in addition to the worship posts of the Jiangnan celebrities and gentry, there was also a letter of help signed by hundreds of people. Of course, in addition to these thick letters, what is more convincing and can make Zuo Liangyu feel indignant and enthusiastic after reading it is the thick stack of silver stamps and food stamps. and a variety of treasures and gifts that accompany you in the cabin. Of course, in the bottom warehouse, it is necessary to carry some gunpowder, knives and guns and the like as ballast.

What is ridiculous is that the Fushe and the people in Jiangnan wanted to invite Zuo Liangyu to deal with Li Shouhan and Ma Shiying's new policy, but the military salaries they raised were bills with a face value of 511 silver dollars issued by Youlong Shengxing!

(Hehe, on the one hand, you have to oppose other people's financial policies, and in order to secure your own property, you even do not hesitate to raise money to find mercenaries.) Don't shoot bricks, Zuo Liangyu's army, saying that he is a mercenary is promoting him. After all, the mercenary has collected the employer's money, and he will definitely get things done. However, an army like Zuo Liangyu may not be able to do it even if it collects money and food. On the contrary, it will make the employer almost harmful. However, the money you take, or the silver ticket, is issued by someone else. Is it possible to win this kind of battle? In addition, while you say that other people's financial policies are harmful to the people, you are also holding other people's payment tools, because they are convenient, fast and have good reputation. Isn't this the same as the kind of community where there can be no base station, because the base station has radiation, but the mobile phone and signal network must be full, and the network speed must be as fast as lightning! ）

In addition to the letters of these celebrities and gentry and the military salaries raised, there were also more than a dozen representatives of the Jiangnan gentry who went west to Jiujiang with Hou Fangyu to "follow the cry of Bao Xu and Qin Ting". Everyone has already discussed, if Zuo Liangyu refuses to send troops to Jiangnan to save millions of lives, they will cry together in his hall of travel. is ready to use these rogue means to force this Ningnan Marquis to dispatch the legendary army of hundreds of thousands of Pixiu.

However, unlike the representatives of the Jiangnan gentry who were talking in the cabin, Hou Fangyu had a Lao Tzu who had been a supervisor, and he knew much more about the situation in the army than them. "I'm afraid that my uncle has long been looking forward to us begging him to send the troops of Jiujiang to Jiangnan!" Hou Fangyu sneered, folded the letter in his hand, and put it on the brazier to let the flames turn the few pieces of paper into ashes.

On the wall of the cabin, there was a map hanging on it, which attracted Hou Fangyu's attention.

With a nervous expression that is difficult for others to detect, he searched the map for the names of Xiangfan, Luoyang, De'an, Jingzhou, Chengtian, Hanjiang, Xiaogushan, Kaifeng, Qixian, Shangqiu and other places in Henan and Huguang. A letter written by the family members left behind in Shangqiu's hometown clearly told him that Li Zicheng's army had begun to slowly move south and assemble westward. Not only did they break away from contact with the Nanyue army, but they also started a journey with the Qing army for at least two or three days.

"The thief is going to retreat to the old nest in the mountainous area of western Henan, backed by Huguang Xiangyang, Wuchang and other places, relying on the mountain-shaped terrain, backed by Huguang's land of fish and rice, and stubbornly resisted!"

Hou Fangyu knew that since he withdrew from Beijing, Li Zicheng sent Luo Hu, a famous warrior under his command, to lead a group of elite thieves from the Zhenshan Battalion to De'an Sifu to firmly control this land of money and grain in the land of fish and rice in the Han River Valley. Moreover, Luo Hu also stared at Zuo Liangyu on the ground of Jiujiang across the Yangtze River.

"My uncle, in the north, there is Luo Hu, a thief who once beat him and fled, and in the east, there is a small lonely mountain master camp of southern thieves, and in the south, it is the southern thief's southern Gannan land. Three shocks a day were not enough to describe the horror and fear in his heart. I'm afraid that he wants more than anyone else to have a reason to get out of the dangerous city of Jiujiang in a grand manner! ”

Hou Fangyu let out a sneer in his heart.

As the eldest son of Hou Xianhou's Grand Governor, he naturally knows his father's articles well.

"The plague has accumulated for fifteen years and has become big, and it is not possible to plan it all at once. From Qin to Yu, he defeated Wang Qiaonian and Fu Zonglong, and all the strong soldiers and horses in the world were thieves. The thieves rode tens of thousands of horses, drifting like wind and rain, passing through the fortified city, because of the soldiers. The officers and soldiers only asked what they wanted, and they were hungry. Even with the spirit of the sword, it is impossible to make the county order of the closed city go out and see it, transport a bunch of swords, and give a bunch of rice. This is why it is often frustrated. Now the thief atmosphere is pressing, Quanyu has fallen into seven or eight, and the vassal king is rescued, and he is hopeful. However, according to his words, the Central Plains is the heart of the world; From this day onwards, it is the ear of the broken. Since the vassal king said, the city is solid; Since the safety of the world is in danger, Weicheng should not be in a hurry to socialize. The minister is the commander of all the ways, and he is a thief, how can he say that he will not help? But the seven towns under the command of the minister are only tens of thousands of soldiers, and the four towns have not yet arrived. Feng He went forward, no matter whether it was light or not the righteousness of the eldest son, it also made the thieves look forward to measuring their reality and playing easy for the imperial court. …… Therefore, for today's plan, Gou has a definite opinion, and it is better to use Henan to commission it. ordered Baoding Fuchen Yang Jin and Shandong Fuchen Wang Yongji to moat the north; Fengyang Fuchen Ma Shiying, Huaixu Fuchen Shi Kefa South to curb thieves and chong; and to Qin Governor Sun Chuanting Saitong Pass; The minister led Zuo Liangyu to solidify Jingxiang. Therefore, the road of its escape is also cut off. The people who came from the thieves in the countryside all said that there were millions, and now there are 500,000 people and 100,000 horses, and the eclipse of people is one liter, and the eclipse of horses is three liters, which is 8,000 bells of millet a day wherever they go. The Central Plains is thousands of miles away, and it is uninhabited. The current soldier is not stronger. Liangyu is the old minister, and every pair of ministers weeps and has the heart of retribution. When they passed through the ministers three times, they all kowtowed to their fathers, and they did not dare to disturb the grass and trees. If selfish favors are like this, how can they be willing to lose the country? However, in the past, he supervised and controlled the obedient side, and the soldiers were too many to eat, so it was difficult to dispatch. ”

The thieves who claim to be millions want to eat food and feed the horses. Similarly, Zuo Liangyu's Pingthief Town, during this time, forced strong people everywhere, coerced good people, and scattered in Huguang, northern Jiangxi, and western Jiangxi, small groups of Ming troops scattered in Huguang, northern Jiangxi, and western Jiangxi, and local regimental training by the peasant army, mountain bandits, poles, and horse thieves everywhere were thrown into Zuo Dashuai's command like ants. In just over a year, the town has expanded to the point of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses!

With such a huge army, people eat horses and chew horses, and all kinds of expenses in the army, the generals naturally have to loot in order to maintain their luxurious and corrupt life. However, in the mere Jiujiang Mansion, how much oil and water can be squandered by these people?

"Zuo Kunshan, your father-in-law not only sent you money and food, but also sent you a key to get out of trouble!" Hou Fangyu sneered in his heart.

As the eldest son of Hou Sui, who has the grace of helping Zuo Liangyu, Hou Fangyu naturally regards Zuo Liangyu, who was born in the wine army, as a servant in his heart, although Zuo Liangyu is their lifesaver at the moment, but, in his mind, Zuo Liangyu is still a lowly slave!

However, even if Zuo Liangyu and these hundreds of thousands of horses go down the east of the river, what impact and variables can they bring to the situation? The entire strategic situation will still be within the analysis and planning of Wu Xing's "Pingqing Policy"! His actions are just a small variation in the whole symphony!

At the same time that Li Shouhan saw Wu Xing's Ping Qingce, Lu Mahong also received a copy from Wu Xing's fast horse. After she read it, she ordered someone to copy a copy and send it to the staff office, so that the staff staff could study it carefully.

She herself watched it again, but looking at it, she felt a little sleepy, and she fell asleep in a daze. But it's no wonder that these days, she is under the pain of losing her husband and the pressure of drastic changes in the war situation, even if Li Shouhan, who has been through a hundred battles, vomits blood, not to mention that she is a young woman from the Dongfan tribe?

I don't know how long I slept, but I suddenly heard someone call her to get up, and when she opened her eyes dimly, it turned out that it was the female soldier next to her who told her to get up, because the staff office had drawn up a battle plan and asked her to review it.

Dragging her tired body, Lu Ma Hong came to the office room of the staff office. Lu Ma Hong is located in the mansion of a local gentry, which was requisitioned by the Southern Yue Army. The five flower halls were opened up, and after a simple transformation, they became the office of the staff office.

The furnishings in the room are very simple, with a large sand table in the middle, a map hanging on the wall, and a circle of tables and chairs around the sand table. Seeing that Lu Ma Hong had arrived, Fan Xiaozeng and all the members of the staff office stood up and saluted Lu Ma Hong.

Lu Mahong smiled and greeted everyone, and after some politeness, Fan Xiaozeng said: "Mrs. Li, the Ping Qingce you sent yesterday helped us a lot. Through this article, the General Staff Office has basically unified its opinion, that is, we must make preparations with both hands, not only to prepare for victory in the short term, but also to prepare for a protracted war. Therefore, the General Staff Office preliminarily decided that you, Mrs. Li, would lead the hussars, Zuo Wuwei's artillery team, and the Dongfan Infantry Regiment to Yimeng Mountain to meet with the envoy of Wuxing Town, and welcome Liao Dongzhi's troops to the north. The members of our staff office led the rest of the troops to Dengzhou to meet with Brigadier Xu Yuansong. As long as Dengzhou and other Granges and Haikou are in our hands, Shandong will sooner or later remain in the hands of our Nanyue Army! I wonder what you think, ma'am? ”

Lu Mahong shook her head and said, "I understand the kindness of Staff Officer Fan, but the route to Yimeng Mountain only has a small number of rebellious officials and gentry and people, and it is relatively safe, even if I only bring a small number of guards, I can easily reach it." Instead, he went to Dengzhou, with Cao Zhenyan's men chasing after him, and Zhang Linghu and Wu Fengxian's traitors in front of him intercepting him. And Dengzhou's news is cut off, once Dengzhou has fallen, there are no elite soldiers, how can you fight your way out of the encirclement? So I have no objection to Staff Officer Fan going to Dengzhou, but Zuo Wuwei's artillery and Dongfan infantry regiment will be taken away by you. I have Tuha'ekui to escort me, enough to arrive safely in Linyi with supplies and the rest of the personnel. ”

Fan Xiaozeng saw that Lu Mahong disagreed, and directly put forward his own opinion: "Madam, let's be honest, now the situation in Shandong is chaotic, anti-water traitors are swarming, and states and counties are rebelling. The staff office is really not sure about a quick victory, so it is a foolproof strategy to let more people go to Yimeng Mountain to persist for a long time. As for Denglai, the difference between more people and fewer people is not very big, anyway, as long as Dengzhou is held, it is nothing more than to recruit the Tuntian soldiers in the various granges, hold Dengzhou, Weihaiwei and other key points, grasp Haikou, and wait for reinforcements from the sea. Even if we don't go alone, Brigadier Xu Yuansong and Xu can also complete the task. Therefore, I hope that Madame will bring more people to Yimeng Mountain. ”

Seeing that Fan Xiaozeng made his position clear, Lu Mahong also showed his opinion: "Staff Officer Fan, I also told the truth, my husband's hatred, I can report it one day earlier, and I won't report it one day later." Although it is difficult to win quickly, we cannot stop fighting for it because it is difficult. I can't help much in the war, and I don't have a problem with letting me go to Yimeng Mountain. However, I will not give up the policy of going to Dengzhou to prepare to regroup and fight again. If Staff Officer Fan doesn't agree, then you can remove my command here. ”

Speaking of this, Fan Xiaozeng could only nod helplessly, this is not the first time he has compromised, and I believe it will not be the last. What else could he say? is the so-called not a family does not enter the door, Li Huayu Lu Mahong and his wife, husband and wife, are all the way, although one is arrogant and extraordinary, the other is stubborn, but in the final analysis, they just don't listen to persuasion.

Fan Xiaozeng was just a staff officer, and he could only make battle plans according to the requirements of their husband and wife, not by him. In the end, Fan Xiaozeng discussed with the people in the staff office and decided to carry out Lu Mahong's order and let Tuha escort Lu Mahong and the miscellaneous troops to Linyi, but Fan Xiaozeng insisted on taking most of the supplies of the whole army with Lu Mahong. The reason is that in addition to the needs of the war, some materials are also needed to buy the hearts of the people. For this, Lu Mahong didn't insist anymore, so the battle plan was determined, and Fan Xiaozeng took over the command of the elite troops such as the artillery regiment of the Dongfan Infantry Regiment, target: Dengzhou!

However, another problem is in front of Fan Xiaozeng, this time is different from the past, the road to Dengzhou is no longer a smooth road, but guarded by the elite troops of Zhang Linghu and Wu Fengxian, and it will take time to break through. This time needs a heroic and tenacious force to fight for it. However, everyone knows that this matter is life-threatening, and no matter who is sent, it will make it very difficult for the General Staff Office. It's not that I'm afraid that anyone will disobey the order, but the troops at hand now are all elite in a hundred battles, and everyone will feel distressed if they are damaged.

In the end, Fan Xiaozeng decided to convene an enlarged meeting of commanders, at which the commanders had a fierce dispute, and no one wanted to make others think that they were greedy for life and afraid of death at this critical moment. However, in the end, Fan Xiaozeng still decided to hand over this task to the Taiwan Infantry Regiment, because this unit was outstanding in battle, brave and tenacious, and most importantly, it had rich experience in fighting Cao Zhenyan, and had defeated Cao Zhenyan several times, and the Qing army was afraid of it.

After Fan Xiaozeng's appointment, he announced that other troops would transfer men and horses to supplement Taiwan's First Infantry Corps, and that weapons and gunpowder would also be as sufficient as possible. A few days later, Fan Xiaozeng inspected the defense line of the Taiwan Infantry Regiment. In just a few days, the entrenchment chest wall had begun to take shape, all kinds of artillery were distributed in an orderly manner, and the musketeers were also seizing the time to train. Everywhere Fan Xiaozeng went, the soldiers would stand and salute, as if the next exercise was just an ordinary exercise. Fan Xiaozeng inspected and was satisfied and ready to leave, but just as he was about to say goodbye and leave, he suddenly heard bursts of singing from the position.

"You know that Formosa is not my real name. I've been away from you for too long, Mother. But they took away my body, and I still keep my soul. Thousands of years of separation and blood connection, we are the descendants of Zhuge Wanling Marquis Yuanyuan. Mother, Mother, I have returned, Mother, Mother. ”

This song, which has been sung since the time of the Eastern Fan soldiers, is regarded as the regimental song of the Taiwan infantry regiment, and it is also one of the symbols of the Taiwanese infantry like the white cloth Baotou and the bayonet assault. It's not the first time Fan Xiaozeng has heard this song, but this time, I don't know why the wind and sand are so big. Fan Xiaozeng tried to stop his tears several times, but in the end he couldn't do so. In the end, he could only say to the soldiers of the First Infantry Corps with tears in his eyes: Brothers, you can't give up until the end, I, Fan Xiaozeng, will definitely send other brothers to support you. ”
