This is the gap in the efficiency of the empire, the news of the death of King Li Zicheng is unknown to the nearest Southern Ming court, and the Jingshi, who is thousands of miles away, has already seen the news.

On the day of Lu Zhong's move, the news had been sent out through the Xixu Railway for thousands of miles, and this issue of the newspaper was still printed in Xuzhou, and 80,000 copies were transported to Jiangnan by water for the first time.

It's just that in terms of military affairs, Shi Kefa is really not a qualified commander, he didn't see the danger signal sent by Mao Jue's move to Jiangnan, he was full of eagerness, he saw that Li Chuang's death had brought about the dragons of Dashun without a leader, and the opportunity to subdue Huguang seemed to have arrived!

Seeing the eunuch walking towards the palace with the newspaper in his hand, Shi Kefa was still full of enthusiasm and eagerness, shouting behind him: "Don't miss the opportunity!" Don't hand it over to Lord Qian!"

It's a pity that Shi Kefa is enthusiastic about serving the country, and as soon as the eunuch turned around, he turned around and threw the newspaper into a ball, and threw it into the Jinshui River, humming disdainfully.

"Outdated bachelor, want to jump too?"

"Watch him, don't let him in!"

The source of information that Shi Kefa finally brought was cut off, as for whether there was any other news that could reach the ears of Qian Qianyi and Gao Hongtu? I'm sorry, but these Donglin people have never disdained to read the barbaric and sloppy Rausch newspapers in the north.

Although the incident happened in Huguang, the news was a big circle, and the military department in Nanjing did not know about the great changes that had taken place in Shunguo, let alone General Zuo Liangyu Zuo in Wuchang.

…………

Li Zicheng built the Shun Palace in Xiangyang, Zuo Liangyu was not idle, it seems that the common disease of people in this era is that if you have money, you must build a house, just like Zheng Zhilong built dozens of miles of the Zheng family's old house in his hometown, Zuo Liangyu also built a house that stretches for more than ten miles in Wuchang, that scene, the courtyard is connected to the courtyard, the house follows the house, and the luxury is about to catch up with the palace.

The world seems to be really peaceful, even the warriors are content to enjoy themselves, this evening, the Zuo family mansion is boiling again, lively and extraordinary, the center of the courtyard set up a stage, more than a dozen confidants of the left army are drinking tea with melon seeds, accompanied by Zuo Dashuai to listen to the song, on the stage, Zuo Liangyu's thirty-seven aunts, thirty-nine aunts, and forty aunts are shaking their long water sleeves, babbling and singing Kunqu opera.

Today's Zuo Liangyu Chu Array can almost be compared to Wei Bo in the middle of the Tang Dynasty and the late Tang Dynasty, Fan Yang and other feudal towns, most of Huguang is the only one who has the final say, not to mention that the taxes are all in the palm of his hand, and he can also get millions of taels of military expenses from the imperial court every year, such a tumor is lying on the body of the Nanming Dynasty and absorbing nutrients, I really don't know where Gao Hongtu's feeling of peace in the world comes from.

Not only Zuo Liangyu's henchmen and generals, but also a lot of famous scribes in Chu land, listening to Qu Yue's subdued singing, many sour literati couldn't help but cheer loudly, shaking their heads and chanting a lot of sour words.

In these years, women are not allowed to show their heads, like this, other men point fingers at their wives, and men's families are actually a very faceless thing, but Zuo Liangyu, who was born recklessly, didn't know it, showing off his little wife and wealth, he shook his head triumphantly.

But at this juncture, suddenly a pro-soldier swaying his clothes and armor, sweating profusely, ran in from outside the garden, lying in Zuo Liangyu's ear and hurriedly recounted a few words, in an instant, Zuo Liangyu's old face that had been fighting for most of his life was already full of wind and frost wrinkles, but he smeared his old face with pink fat instantly turned pale, staggered to stand up, looked left and right, but he turned his head and sat down again, and shook his head to listen to the opera, waiting for a song, this is just a look of going to the toilet, slowly shaking out of the garden.

After entering, several small servants trotted in one by one, and called Zuo Liangyu's son Zuo Mengeng, generals Lu Guangzu, Li Guoying, Jin Shenghuan and others out one by one.

The drums and singing became louder and louder, and after a few more songs, Huang Peng, a famous scholar in Wuchang, stood up violently, patted the fart with a wine glass, and sang loudly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, my Wuchang Mansion sings and dances, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, not by the thieves themselves, and they all rely on the protection of the left marshal! Colleagues in Chudi, the old man suggests that we should respect ......, respect ......, and Zuo Dashuai? ”

Immersed in Kunqu Opera, a group of Chudi scholars turned around suddenly, looking at Zhongzuo Liangyu who had disappeared for I don't know how long.

With an embarrassed face, Huang Peng left the table in a bit of anger amid the shameful laughter of a group of Chudi literati, and swayed out of the garden to look for it.

Wuchang belongs to a typical remnant hill impact plain, there are many small hills in the territory, the big man is naturally good to climb high and look far, Zuo Liangyu's garden is also built on a hill, push open the door, you can overlook the river below, full of embarrassment, Huang Peng pushed the door open, the next second, he was full of horror.

In the eyes, the three towns of Wuhan, which were already dark under the yellow sun, were completely lit up, and the flames were soaring everywhere, even in the city, you could hear the screams and screams of the earth-shattering, carrying luggage, carrying the only bit of belongings and fleeing southward, several main roads were stuffed.

The army that conquered the world is back! The poor and bottomless Huguang poor people wore messy and shabby cloth clothes, but they rushed forward with knives like madmen, killing people when they saw them, and robbing things when they saw them, anyway, they had nothing left and a cheap life! Afraid of what?

There was no effective defense at all, and tens of thousands of left troops collapsed in an instant, and on the main roads, they were the fastest to escape. Ran early!

However, Zuo Liangyu was also helpless, he really couldn't imagine that the army would be so crazy!

In the history of the Southern Dynasty, the strong and prosperous must be based on the two Huai, and if you want to survive, you must have Bashu, just like the Southern Song Dynasty, and the Jin Dynasty for more than 200 years without falling behind, and at the beginning of the Song Dynasty, Song Taizong beat the Southern Tang Dynasty like a little kid, down the river is not a joke.

At this time, the Nanming Dynasty was indeed very bad, Shangshu belonged to Daxi, and Badi returned to Dashun, but Zuo Liangyu's defense focus was still not on the Yangtze River, after all, according to his consistent impression of the peasant army, a group of Loess Plateau killed out, the poor couldn't wear pants and couldn't afford to eat.

And going down the river is also a desperate bet, just like the water war between Chu and Wu in the Spring and Autumn Period, Chu won only a small victory, and the defeated Wu army ran down the river, but the defeat was definitely a big defeat, and the Chu Guolou ship that went up the river had no place to run at all.

Therefore, the defense of Chu Town is still decent, guarding Jingmen, Suizhou and two places, relying on Jingzhou to block the pace of the eastward march of the intruding army.

In fact, Zuo Liangyu was right, the Shun army was indeed not good at water warfare, at this time, the Shun army warships congested between the three towns of Wuhan were like bumper cars, colliding with each other one after another, a group of landlubbers lying on the side of the boat and spitting non-stop, and they couldn't get up if they fell, and they were embarrassed like a group of fools.

But this is the breaking army, which has been conquering the world for more than 20 years, and has been encircled and killed layer by layer, and has long been accustomed to the outlaws who are like gamblers, and the current leader of this army, Liu Zongmin, is an out-and-out outlaw, he doesn't have the heart to think about what will happen after the failure of the raid on Wuhan.

It's a bunch of reckless people! Lunatic! Military idiots!

But this group of reckless men won recklessly!

In the horn of the sky, the intruders didn't even want the boat, and shook the oars behind them, and slammed the bottom of the boat directly into the mudflats full of stones, and the violent collision made the sawdust splash, and one by one the big holes crashed under the deck. Pulling out the knife in an uproar, stepping on these pedals that poured into the water of the Rujiang River, the Dashun army, which was still confused with seasickness, poured into the city like a swarm of locusts, and when Zuo Liangyu got the news, Beiluo City, which was close to the river, had been lost.

Nine years ago, the battle of Zhu Xianzhen made Zuo Liangyu's elite almost wiped out, and even now the siege of the city is also his old subordinates who were absorbed by the breaking army, in front of these people, the rear Chu army that he forcibly enlisted is really vulnerable, coupled with the lack of command, it is even more defeated all the way, Huang Peng did not wait for the embarrassment to escape from the Zuo family's mansion, the vigorous Shun army still surrounded the group, just pushed open the door and took a look, the vast landlord of the lake directly chopped on the shoulder than a knife, Immediately, the crying father and mother in pain knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately.

At the door, under the light of dozens of torches, holding high the blood-drenched blade, Liu Zongmin roared as excitedly as a madman.

"Kill! Burn! cut off Zuo Liangyu's head, which can be regarded as placing a pig's head in front of the eldest brother's spirit first, and then beating Nanjing, killing the dog emperor to comfort the eldest brother's spirit in the sky!"

With this murderous roar, even Zuo Liangyu, who had escaped for a few miles, turned his head back thoughtfully, trembling in his heart.

…………

Just like the ancient city of Pompeii in the disaster, the disaster also befell Chu Zhen overnight, and suddenly went down the river, and the mighty 300,000 Shun troops directly knocked out Zuo Liangyu's command center, and also divided the left army into two, and the hundreds of thousands of left troops guarding in Jingmen Suizhou fell directly into the two-sided attack of Liu Zongmin and Gao Yigong's corps.

After escaping from Wuchang, Zuo Liangyu could only lean towards Xiaogan and rely on the southern foot of Dabie Mountain to organize a new defense line, but he was too ruthless in Huguang, even if he was a soldier, he was unwilling to give him his life, and in a few days, the left army gathered in Huanggang according to the military order was less than 30,000, and the soldiers fled in large numbers.

Looking at the sparse barracks in the sunset, slow is frightened, messy foot soldiers and listless left-character military flags! Zuo Ping, who was similar to Li Zicheng and was also sick with old age, suddenly spit out a mouthful of black and red blood, and slammed his weak fist on the table for a long time, and then he trembled and roared at the door.

"Hurry up to Nanjing!"
