Chapter 176: The Left Army Mutiny (The third watch, the monthly pass is 400 votes plus a change!) )

Huguang is in turmoil, and the world is shaking.

Yuan Jixian, who was stationed in Jiangxi as the governor of the four provinces, was even more worried.

He sent scouts to investigate the news and learned that a major battle broke out between the Qing army led by Azig and Li Zicheng's Shun army not far from Jiujiang. Li Zicheng's right-hand man Liu Zongmin was captured and killed, and the vitality of the Shun army was greatly damaged.

Li Zicheng then gave up continuing down the river, and instead led his army around Qingpen Mountain and headed for Jiugong Mountain.

What surprised Yuan Jixian was that Zuo Liangyu's army, which led the army to evacuate from Wuchang first, did not enter Jiujiang along the river, but was stationed in Xingguozhou, the capital of Huangzhou, as if he wanted to wait for the Qing army and the Shun army to decide before making plans.

Not long ago, the holy decree was transmitted to Jiujiang, and when today's son reminded Yuan Jixian that he must be careful of He Tengjiao and Zuo Liangyu, he must strictly guard the city and wait for the assistance of the Huang De Power Department.

There are not many troops in Jiujiang City, and Yuan Jixian originally relied on the general Zhang Shixun, who commanded the two thousand armor soldiers of the governor's standard battalion, and was Yuan Jixian's arm.

However, His Majesty the Emperor reminded Yuan Jixian in his holy decree to also beware of this person.

This surprised Yuan Jixian.

If He Tengjiao and Zuo Liangyu colluded with each other to plot misdeeds, the Son of Heaven ordered him to beware of the past.

But Zhang Shixun is Yuan Jixian's henchman, why should he be wary?

What made Yuan Jiji even more incomprehensible was how His Majesty the Emperor could know the name of a small governor general?

There are so many things to deal with that it is impossible to memorize everyone's names. Among the civil officials, the cabinet ministers, the big and small Jiuqing, and the governor-general are worth remembering, and among the military attachés, that is, the general soldiers of each town, are worthy of remembering the name and surname of the Son of Heaven.

When today's son is wise and martial, this Yuan Jixian knows. But no matter how smart a person is, it is impossible to remember everyone's names and surnames. Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor was not at ease with him, so he deliberately investigated his subordinates?

That doesn't make sense!

If this is the case, His Majesty the Emperor should have directly sent the brocade-clothed guards to fetch people, instead of issuing a holy decree telling him to pay attention to his generals......

Yuan Jixian couldn't figure it out.

But since the Son of Heaven reminded him, he naturally had to keep an eye on it. In case that Jang Se-hoon is really a white-eyed wolf, it is always good for him to prepare in advance.

Although Yuan Jixian did not directly deprive Zhang Shixun of his official position, he placed two generals beside him and restrained him.

If Zhang Shixun has any changes, Yuan Jixian will be able to know about it as soon as possible and respond in a timely manner.

After doing all this, Yuan Jixian was still not at ease, and issued a warrant from the governor to mobilize the water division of Poyang Lake to Jiujiang to block the river. This sailor was formed by Yuan Jixian since he became the governor, although the size of the hull of the Poyang Lake sailor is not as good as the Fu Boat and the Guangzhou Boat built by the Longjiang Shipyard. But it is also enough to use on the surface of the Yangtze River. It is not easy for a warship that is too large to play on the Yangtze River.

If Zuo Liangyu's army did not plan to attack Jiujiang but went directly east by boat, Yuan Jixian would also send a sailor to block it.

In any case, he was not prepared to let Zuo Liangyu's troops cross Jiujiang, because once they entered Anqing Mansion, they would directly threaten Nanjing and threaten the Holy Driver.

Zuo Liangyu is under the banner of Qingjun's side, but what he is doing is rebellion.

Yuan Jixian would never allow Zuo Liangyu to threaten the safety of today's son.

If Zuo Liangyu wanted to pass through Jiujiang Mansion, he would have to step over his Yuan Jixian's corpse!

"Father, something is wrong!"

Zuo Mengeng ran to Zuo Liangyu's big tent in a panic, and said eagerly: "Mutiny, the army has mutinied!" ”

When Zuo Liangyu heard the word mutiny, he stood up suddenly, gritted his teeth and said, "Which battalion is it?" ”

Zuo Liangyu commanded a total of 36 battalions, with a total of more than 200,000 people. It is definitely impossible for so many people to mutiny, so Zuo Liangyu would ask like this.

Zuo Menggeng trembled like chaff, and stammered: "It's Ma Jinzhong and Jin Shenghuan's two battalions!" ”

Zuo Liangyu took a deep breath when he heard this.

The two battalions of Ma Jinzhong and Jin Shenghuan are both large battalions, with more than 50,000 people together, and their strength should not be underestimated. The most terrifying thing is that their combat effectiveness is also the strongest in Zuo Liangyu's 36th battalion. Even the pro-military battalion commanded by Zuo Liangyu's henchman Li Guoying is not as fierce as the Qin soldiers under the command of Ma and Jin.

But Zuo Liangyu really couldn't understand why the two of them wanted to encourage the soldiers to rebel. Although they are not Zuo Liangyu's descendants, Zuo Liangyu has not treated them badly, at least they are all flat with a bowl of water.

As for the small actions in private, it is impossible for the two of them to know.

Zuo Liangyu's good mood was swept away, and his face became solemn.

The reason why he did not order a full-speed march after leaving Wuchang, but rested in Xingguozhou, the capital of Huangzhou, was to see the results of the battle between the Qing army and the Shun army, and to see if he could make some money.

For Zuo Liangyu, the best result was that both the Qing army and the Shun army were defeated.

But Li Zicheng was really angry, and was chased and beaten by the Qing army again, forcing him to flee to Jiugong Mountain.

Fortunately, Li Zicheng's hasty escape attracted the pursuing Qing army and made way for the Yangtze River waterway.

Zuo Liangyu didn't dare to delay any longer, and was about to lead the army along Fushui into the Yangtze River to reach Jiujiang, but who knew that there was such a thing as a mutiny.

There are generally two kinds of mutinies, one is organized by soldiers spontaneously, and the other is secretly controlled by generals.

Zuo Liangyu didn't have to think about it, he must be the latter.

Jin Shenghuan and Ma Jinzhong must have wanted to take the opportunity to negotiate terms with him, hmph, they really raised two white-eyed wolves!

Zuo Liangyu hated in his heart, and his fists clenched tightly.

"Hmph, Lao Tzu doesn't believe in this evil!"

After thinking about it, Zuo Liangyu still felt that he couldn't admit it.

He is the commander of the First Army, and now it is an extraordinary period for him to lead his troops to the side of the Qing monarch, and his personal prestige must not be compromised.

Don't care if it's Ma Jinzhong or Jin Shenghuan, don't want him to bow his head.

Seeing Zuo Liangyu's murderous face, Zuo Mengeng's heart was a little fixed.

His father is his backbone, and as long as his father is by his side, he will not panic.

"Father, do you want to discuss this matter with Governor He?"

Zuo Mengeng asked anxiously.

"Hmph, he's just a wallgrass, do you expect him to take a stand?"

I don't expect much from He Tengjiao and Zuo Liangyu. He Tengjiao was extremely hesitant when he raised troops from Wuchang this time, if it weren't for Zuo Liangyu's tough attitude and half-coercion to bring He Tengjiao up, it is difficult to say what choice this person would make.

Besides, the attitude of a governor does not matter at such times.

If Zuo Liangyu wants to suppress the rebellion, the most important thing is to rely on the advantage of troops in his hands, not a word from some bullshit governor.

"Geng'er, serve to put on armor for your father. For the father, I want to see how much of a storm those two little thieves can make. Lao Tzu is not dead yet, the 200,000 troops in Chu Town are still surnamed Zuo! ”
