The process of Wen Anzhi sending people to track down the whereabouts of the rest of the Shun army was not easy.
After getting a large sum of silver, there are too many places that this Shun army can choose to transfer, Baoqing Mansion, Hengzhou Mansion, and even Yuanzhou Mansion in Jiangxi can be chosen.
All Wen Anzhi could do was to scatter the scout riders in order to get some clues.
While waiting, Chinese An Zhi also wrote to Yuan Jixian, asking him to also mobilize men to search for the traces of the remnants of the Shun army in Jiangxi.
Who knows that there is no intention to insert willows and willows.
Not long after, Yuan Jixian wrote back to Wen Anzhi.
In his reply, Yuan Jixian wrote that he had indeed found a Shun army of tens of thousands in Yuanzhou's capital and had surrendered his troops. It's just that this Shun army is not led by generals such as Yuan Zongdi and Liu Fangliang, but by the general Hao Shaoqi.
But it's also a reward.
Wen Anzhi should play this good news to the Son of Heaven.
There is no trace of Yuan Zongdi, Liu Fangliang and others in Jiangxi. Then these people are likely to go south to Hengzhou Capital. Compared with Wuchang, Xiangyang, Chengtian, Jingzhou and other prefectures in the north of Huguang, Hengzhou and Yongzhou prefectures in the south do not have many troops stationed at all, and they are inferior to Changsha Prefecture.
This Shun army is really a dragon entering the sea, begging for water.
The most terrible thing is that if this Shun army continues to move south into Guangdong or Guangxi and resists stubbornly, the current strength of the imperial court will not be enough to divide the troops and destroy it. If it is allowed to recuperate in Liangguang and form a separation, it will be extremely unfavorable to the imperial court's grand plan for prosperity.
The climate in Guangdong and Guangxi is much warmer than that of the northern provinces, and even in winter, you will not feel much chill. It won't take long for this Shun army to recover, and by then it will have the capital to compete with the imperial court.
So time is the most critical factor.
Wen Anzhi immediately asked the Son of Heaven to order the military department to send a report to Guangdong and Guangxi, and asked the two Guangxi sides to be ready to report immediately if they found the traces of the rest of the Shun army.

......
"Queen, crossing Huayin Mountain is the boundary of Lianzhou."
Liu Fangliang is obviously in a good mood. Compared to a month ago, their situation has improved dramatically. Although the future is still uncertain, it is not in a dead situation.
"Now the governor of Liangguang set up by the Ming court is Shen Youlong, if we are stationed in Guangdong, we will inevitably have to deal with him. This person doesn't know what kind of temperament he is. ”
Gao Guiying held the reins with one hand and said lightly.
"Whatever, even if he is the king of heaven, Lao Tzu has to make way for us. Otherwise, we will set fire to his Guangzhou city. ”
Liu Tichun laughed loudly and said: "Queen, we heard that Guangdong is rich and not inferior to Jiangnan, why don't we directly take it down and use it as a basis to recruit troops?" It won't be long before we can pull up more than 100,000 troops. ”
"Hey, today is no better than before, let's keep a low profile."
Gao Guiying has just experienced the pain of losing her husband, where is she in the mood to talk about Wang Tu's hegemony. All she could do now was to bring the army to life so that the old brothers of yesteryear could have a way to live. By doing this, she will be worthy of the deceased Li Zicheng.
"If you want me to say, why don't we test this Shen Youlong's bottom line first, maybe he still wants to raise his own respect."
Yuan Zongdi paused and said: "As long as our tens of thousands of people have been in Guangdong, the Ming Court will inevitably be a problem for his henchmen." Shen Youlong, the governor of Liangguang, was able to get a steady stream of military salaries for his recruitment and training. I think he would be happy to see this kind of good thing. ”
"Haha, what Lao Yuan said is reasonable."
Liu Tichun exclaimed: "Let's just cooperate with Shen Youlong to play a play, we won't really beat him, so we will send people to pretend to be outside the county every once in a while, and give Shen Youlong a chance to play." ”
For the rest of the Shun army, what they need most now is time. Just give them a little respite, and they can make a comeback.
"But what if Shen Yulong doesn't care about us?"
Tian Jianxiu, who had been silent, poured a basin of cold water on everyone.
"I said Yufeng, why don't you say something that is uninteresting. This Shen Youlong has such a good opportunity to knock on the bamboo pole of the imperial court, he doesn't use it, is it a fool? ”
Liu Tichun swallowed and spitted at the mouth: "What kind of virtue the officials of the Ming Court are, others don't know, don't you Yufeng know?" If you pull ten and cut them all, you may be wronged, but if you cut one by one, you will definitely miss the net. ”
Liu Tichun hated the corrupt officials of the Ming Court.
If it weren't for these corrupt officials, his family would not have starved to death.
"I heard that this Shen Youlong is a rare good official."
Tian Jianxiu didn't give Liu Tichun face at all, and said in a deep voice: "I think you have to be disappointed Lao Liu." ”
"Yufeng, you, are you going to raise the bar with us!"
Liu Tichun gritted his teeth and shook his horsewhip and said: "Why don't we make a bet, if you lose, give me your saber, I lose, and the black unicorn under my crotch is yours." ”
"Okay, then Lao Liu, you're doomed."
Tian Jianxiu narrowed his eyes and said with interest.
"Whether it's a corrupt official or a clean official. As long as you are human, you have to know the current affairs. Even if Shen Youlong is really a good official and doesn't want to cheat the imperial court's military salary, he can't help us. ”
Gao Guiying saw that it was almost time, so she stood up and played a round.
"In any case, we have made up our minds to settle down in Guangdong, so we will not care about those vain things."
"The queen is right, what we have to do is to respond to all changes with the same!"
Tian Jianxiu said quietly.

"Shen Junmen, this is the Tang newspaper just sent by the Ministry of War!"
In the yamen of the governor of Guangzhou, Shen Youlong, the governor of Liangguang, took the Tang newspaper from the hands of his guards and took a closer look.
At first, he looked as usual, but the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became, and finally there were beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.
"How can this be ......"
Shen Youlong put down the Tang Bao and said in a daze: "Will the thief actually come to Liangguang......
In Shen Youlong's view, Liangguang is the absolute rear, that is, the world is in chaos, and Liangguang should also be as stable as Mount Tai.
But that doesn't seem to be the case today.
According to the report in the newspaper of the military department, the remnants of the Shun army, who suffered a crushing defeat at Jiugong Mountain, fled all the way south, and they stayed in Changsha Mansion for a while before continuing southward, and it was time to go in the direction of Hengzhou Mansion.
According to this statement, the possibility of the remnants of the Shun army coming to Liangguang is really not small.
Especially in Guangdong, if you go further south from Hengzhou Mansion, you can enter the boundaries of Guangdong.
Shen Youlong is very good at handling government affairs, and under his governance, Guangdong is no less prosperous than Jiangnan.
But he didn't know much about military affairs.
In addition to the Guangdong Naval Division, the only people in the entire Guangdong can fight are the two or three thousand people in the Governor's Standard Battalion.
If the remnants of the Shun army really rushed south to Guangdong, it would be enough to give Shen Youlong a headache.
At worst, what would he do now? Is it too late to recruit Xiangyong training?
