Half a month later, Zhang Qiang returned to Jinhua Mansion with 2 field brigades and 1 guards brigade.

At this time, Wei Wuji had stabilized the situation around Jinling Mansion, Zhang Qiang sent the 1st Brigade of the Guards Brigade and 1 **** to Xianju County to garrison important factories and industrial bases, and the other two regiments and brigade directly subordinate troops were stationed in Jinhua Mansion, and Xiao Fei's Third Brigade, which had been stationed in Jinhua Mansion, was sent to Jinhua Mansion to support Wei Wuji.

Transferred back to the 17th Field Brigade and 16th Brigade, the remaining 15th Field Brigade with not very large losses was stationed on the front line of Jinling Mansion, and the 14th Field Brigade that had just been replenished was sent to the front line, one of the three field brigades was stationed in Jinling Mansion, and one was stationed in the surrounding provinces to guard Jinling Mansion, plus Ma Sanli's 6th Field Brigade stationed in Ningguo Mansion, Bai Wenxuan's 18th Field Brigade in Huizhou Prefecture, and two cavalry brigades.

After Hong Chengchou retired and returned to Yangzhou Mansion, he washed his face with tears all day long, lamented and lamented, and was uneasy, not knowing how the Qing court would deal with him this time, 600,000 troops, which is a complete victory for the 400,000 troops of Yongli Nanming and nearly 600,000 righteous troops and anyway army troops, maybe if so many troops could be concentrated to fight Yongli, the southwest would have been pacified, and now 600,000 troops have defeated 400,000, annihilated and fled and did not return, and there are still 40,000 or 50,000 soldiers and horses missing, that is to say, the entire 450,000 soldiers and horses are gone.

After a month of gathering, reorganization, and replenishment, the Qing army had just recovered its 150,000 troops.

But the elite inside has long been lost, the main force of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Jurchen Tartar army is less than 5,000 soldiers and horses, the Mongolian cavalry fled back only 8,000 soldiers and horses, the Han army flag is only 30,000 soldiers and horses, the green battalion soldiers and horses are only 50,000, the remaining soldiers and horses in Yangzhou Mansion are 5,000 people, the Manchurian Jurchen Tartars stationed 1,000 people, 10,000 Manchurian flag soldiers were urgently transferred from Jingzhou, and the rest are the strong men who were captured in 6 consecutive years.

The troops of Mang Gurtai and Prince Zilharang of nearly 70,000 people are still on the road and have not yet reached Yangzhou.

Hong Chengchou paid close attention to the dynamics of Jinling Mansion, as well as the dynamics of the Zheng army on Chongming Island, which was already in turmoil, but fortunately, with the suppression of Shi Lang and Huang Wu and others, the Zheng army, which had suffered heavy losses before, did not attack the coast again.

Bad news came one after another, Li Chengdong invaded Yuezhou Mansion, Jin Shenghuan appeared in Hunan, and joined forces with He Tengjiao's department, Li Guobu stirred up Hunan.

Hao Ge came out of Sichuan, and Sun Kewang attacked Yunnan, Guangxi's Li Dingguo Department hurriedly returned to Yunnan, Feng Shuangli's Department was also in Guangxi and Kong Youde's fight was inseparable, the strength of the Kong Youde Department was helpless for a while, and the same Feng Shuangli Department could not defeat Kong Youde's Department, Ma Degong's Department retreated to Guangdong, and the remnants of the Yongli remnants of Guangdong were once again mingled, and the Yongli Emperor who got the news sent Hao Shaoqi and other Dashun troops out of Sichuan to attack Yungui.

The southwest has become a pot of porridge, this has been ten years of Shunzhi, and the remnants of the Ming Dynasty have not been pacified, but the soldiers have been lost, which makes him feel a little discouraged.

"Report to your lordship, Mr. Tian asks to see you," the servant came in and said to Hong Chengchou.

"Quick." Hong Chengchou hurriedly said.

For Tian Bin, he is a little grateful, this person rescued himself several times and was in trouble, if it were not for him, he would have been killed by the cavalry of the Huaxia Army, the cavalry of the Huaxia Army was flexible, attacking with arquebuses from a distance, shooting with bows and arrows at close range, or shooting with short firearms, and then pulling out his saber and fiercely rushing into the Qing army that had been routed, as if it was a fierce god, the Qing army could not resist at all.

This reminded him of the Battle of Songshan that year, and remembered that when he was in Liaodong to defend Liaodong for the Ming Dynasty, the Jurchen cavalry at that time was so brave, and the Mongols were so flexible.

The current situation is very similar to when I felt Liaodong.

This Tian Bin is not afraid of death, seeing such a cavalry still rushing up, in order to escape for himself, he did not hesitate to fight for his own generals, family Ding, he knows that it is very expensive to raise a family general, and it is also very expensive to raise a few hundred henchmen, and this Tian Bin can raise two hundred family members, more than a dozen family generals, must have drunk a lot of soldier blood, others have three thousand soldiers and horses, he only raises five hundred, and the others are empty, temporarily pull some strong men to fill the number, and they are all old and weak, and the discerning person can see it at a glance.

It's still elite, if there are no five hundred elites, it is estimated that it will be difficult for him to escape, he is a civil official, and his own capital standards are definitely not as good as other military generals, so when he escaped, almost all of them escaped, and only dozens of henchmen escorted him to escape, and he almost didn't run away.

"Wen Bin, come, don't bow down, you are the old man's savior, how dare the old man bow down to you, come to the seat to speak, come to sit down, serve tea." Hong Chengchou changed the arrogant appearance of a high-ranking literati official in the past, smiled and helped Tian Bin, who knelt down, and sent him to the brocade bench brought by the servants.

Tian Bin looked flattered, and after a few excuses, he sat down on his buttocks, and said with sincere fear: "My lord, there is news from Yanjing, you have been deposed of the crown prince and the prince, the honorary title of Shaobao, deprived of all official positions in the court, fined Yulu for two years, and added to the governor of Lianghuai." Two Huai salt transporters. ”

"Oh," Hong Chengchou breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't kill his head, he could say anything, so he disposed of himself, it seems that the imperial court still reuses his own, and he is not disappointed in himself, although he sent two princes to take charge of the army, but his honor is not much less, and he is still the governor of real power, the official of the feudal territory, which is much better than the previous Beijing officials.

"Where is the army of the two princes?" Hong Chengchou asked.

Tian Bin said: "Report to the Governor, Mang Gul Taibeile has arrived in Huai'an Mansion, Prince Jierharang has arrived in Fengyang Mansion, the two armies march hand in hand, all the way to collect some local villagers, all the way to the south, it is estimated that there will be three more days to reach Yangzhou Mansion." ”

"Okay, Wen Bin, how are the soldiers you recruited going?" Wen Bin is the word given by Hong Chengchou for Tian Bin, Tian Bin originally had no words, only a name, and was born in a poor family, and everyone knows that the ancients, especially the civil officials who loved and favored the generals or the generals always liked to give people a word, put their own brand, and accept them as the doormen.

Tian Bin arched his hand and said: "Report to your lordship, you have recruited 4,000 soldiers, all of whom are innocent villagers in the vicinity, and another 2,000 soldiers have been collected. ”

"Okay, Wen Bin, the old man's future safety will be handed over to you, these troops are not enough, you recruit more, and then let's follow the example of the Huaxia Army, the old man will also train an army that can fight like the Huaxia Army, and such a powerful soldier who can use firearms."

Tian Bin chuckled in his heart, this old horseman, who has changed his temperament, suddenly woke up after being beaten by the Huaxia Army, and also wants to train an army like the Huaxia Army?

"What, you have a question about the old man?" Hong Chengchou squinted at him and asked.

Tian Bin hurriedly got up, "Don't dare to be humble." ”

"I know, you want to say to the old man that this is against the Qing army, afraid that others will impeach the old man, haha, don't be afraid, the sky is falling and the old man is on top, you go to recruit, especially to take care of the prisoners of the Chinese army that we caught, eat and drink well, there can be no mistakes, our road to a strong army depends on them, and after a period of time, the troops are reorganized, starting from your army, let those prisoners train soldiers for us, and we will send officers."

Tian Bin was so surprised that he didn't know what to say, so he could only wait anxiously in his heart for Hong Chengchou to summon him, and then pass the information back to the Huaxia Army.
