In the first two cities, Zilharang had already lost nearly 60,000 troops, which in addition to making him a little nervous, seemed to make him a lot older. But he still had to hold on, and the annoying forms of the battlefield and the sudden good news forced him to move towards an easier territory to conquer - Ji'an.

So what's the good news? At the same time that Jierharang had stumbled down Changsha City, Tan Tai had just captured Nanchang.

In fact, the siege of Nanchang was the first to start, but in the face of Jierharang's heavy troops in Huguang, Tianlang was no longer able to send reinforcements like the first siege of Nanchang.

The Qing army around Nanchang has been harassed by Tan Tai, resulting in the failure to harvest the autumn grain in time, which was taken away by Tan Tai, and even the grain and grass dispatched by Tianlang from southern Gan were hijacked by Tan Tai several times.

So after only a month of siege, Nanchang City ran out of food, killing people and eating.

After Tan Tai launched a fierce attack, the defenders of Nanchang have been resolutely defending, Jin Shenghuan lost tens of thousands of people, and the intensity of the offensive and defensive battles almost approached Yuezhou and even Changsha.

Jin Shenghuan surrendered and rebelled, in the face of Tan Tai's siege he had no way out, seeing that the city was broken, Jin Shenghuan made a decision that the people of Nanchang have been praised by later generations, he opened the gate of Fuzhou in the east of the city, and let the people in the city flee to forage for food.

And Tan Tai's department also seems to have reached some kind of tacit agreement with Jin Shenghuan, and did not stop or kill and loot the fleeing people, and there was nothing to rob.

However, what is rare is that the Qing army opened a gap to the besieged people, allowing the people of Nanchang to escape.

When Jin Shenghuan's subordinates saw this scene, they also mixed into the ranks of the fleeing people, rushing to flee, perhaps this is Tan Tai's clever point, and Jin Shenghuan knew that the general trend was gone, and he did not prohibit his soldiers from trying to survive.

When the Qing army invaded the city, he killed his wife and daughter and set fire to his marshal's mansion.

But at this time, the Qing army had already attacked and killed him, and the Qing army shot him with arrows, Jin Shenghuan was hit by two arrows, and then committed suicide by throwing himself into the lotus pond in the back garden of the Shuai Mansion with Jiang Yueguang, a bachelor of the Hongguang Dynasty and the crown prince.

It's a pity that Jiang Yueguang, when Chongzhen Dynasty, he was the official to the prince Zhan Shi, in charge of Nanjing Hanlin Academy, Hongguang Dynasty can be with Shi Kefa, Gao Hongtu and called 'Nanzhong Three Sages', because of the repeated impeachment of the traitor Ma Shiying, Hongguang Emperor and his grandfather Wanli are the same drunkard, do not pay attention to the government at all, Jiang Yueguang impeachment failed, and was hated by Ma Shiying like an enemy, he retired from illness.

And when Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren returned to the Ming Dynasty anyway, they didn't even know who the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was, and they felt that they couldn't convince the public at all, so they invited Jiang Yueguang to revolt together.

What Jin Shenghuan didn't know was that Jiang Yueguang was planning a big game of chess and planning the uprisings in Shandong and Henan. When he received Jin Shenghuan's invitation, he immediately agreed, and promised to contact the rebel armies in Zheng Chenggong, Ji'an, Ganzhou and other places in Fujian and the Yongli Emperor in Liuzhou for Jin Shenghuan.

Tianlang was able to get Jin Shenghuan's attachment and send reinforcements to rescue him during the first battle of Jiangxi, because Jiang Yueguang was the medium of the two.

After Jin Shenghuan's uprising, Jiang Yueguang was elected as the leader of the nominal Shandong, Henan, and Jiangxi provinces, Nanchang was besieged, there were no reinforcements outside, and there was no grain and grass inside, Jiang Yueguang had sold his concubines and servants to raise food for the righteous army, sold all his family property to give porridge to the hungry people in Nanchang, and committed suicide with Jin Shenghuan when he committed suicide by throwing himself into the water, at the age of 66.

When the door of Fuzhou was opened, Jin Shenghuan also persuaded him to take advantage of the chaos to run with his family, and Jiang Yueguang said: I don't die today, what else to do!

It is also said that Jiang Yueguang hanged himself in the imperial court in Nanchang City under the four-character archway of the late Hanlin Guo Siyan's 'heart of the minister'.

However, there is no doubt that Jiang Yueguang and his family of 32 were martyred when they broke in Nanchang City.

When Jin Shenghuan descended to the Qing Dynasty, he also took the lead in capturing the entire Jiangxi for the Qing army, and also single-handedly created the Ganzhou massacre, but at the end of the siege of Nanchang, he let go of the people of Nanchang and the soldiers who did not want to die.

After Jin Shenghuan was martyred, Tianlang posthumously presented him as the king of Yulin, loyal and martyr; Jiang Yueguang was posthumously presented to the virtuous uncle, Zhen Wenzhong; Previously, when Wang Deren was martyred, Tianlang also posthumously presented him as the founding father, loyal and strong.

Knowing that Tan Tai had captured Nanchang, Jierharang was relieved of the great losses suffered by He Tengjiao in the battle of Changsha.

What is the strategic significance of Changsha and Nanchang returning to the hands of Zilharang? It is the core city of Huguang and Jiangxi, and the inter-provincial transportation hub is back in his hands.

After that, the army under his command could launch any attack on the remaining strategic points of the two provinces, and it could even be said that Guangdong was already within reach, and the Ming emperor was in Guangdong.

At this time, Jierharang remembered that a person named Gu Yi came from Ji'an City to discuss surrender on behalf of the king, and Jierharang probably only remembered so much, and he didn't care about it at that time.

But now it's different, it doesn't mean that the army's city defense in Huguang is like an iron wall, but his own army really fought all the way to Guilin and even Liuzhou according to the resistance strength of the Ming army, not to mention the loss of troops, the results will not be too big, after all, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is not there.

If you turn the direction at this moment, enter Jiangxi, and Wang Hecai should cooperate with the outside, seize Ji'an, and then take Ganzhou, Guangdong will be at your fingertips, even if you can't catch the Ming Dynasty emperor, he can recapture Jiangxi and Guangdong provinces in a battle, and achieve most of Huguang, such a result is enough to say that it is a big victory.

It's just that these henchmen are definitely not enough to communicate with outsiders, and since it has been decided, he finally told Nikan and Luckedhun and others what he thought.

"This king will tell you the reason why I must go to Jiangxi, the losses of our army in this southern expedition must be minimized, so that we can continue to fight, otherwise once we need to replenish the source of troops, the entire army will have to return to the customs from the new to rest and make up, so it will take more than a year to consume."

Nikan and Luck Dehun agreed after hearing this, it was this reason, this reason was enough to convince them, and they could see clearly that the Qing army had not spent a year's capital with the Ming Dynasty.

The combat effectiveness of the Ming army is growing day by day, how many more years can he destroy this infant enemy? All these practical conditions convinced that if he chose to start from the direction of Ji'an and then attack Guangdong in the south, it was the only way to reduce the losses and defeat the Ming army.
