After a short but fierce battle, the Eight Banners Army in Jiujiang City was completely annihilated, and Xu Yuxian, the general of the Green Battalion who defended the city, abandoned the city and fled as early as when the city was broken, and the entire Jiujiang City was in the hands of Hao Shaoqi's Shun army.

Jiujiang is an important town in Jiangxi, the intersection of rivers and lakes makes it have an excellent geographical location, Poyang Lake is the land of fish and rice in the Ming Dynasty, Jiujiang's wealth is second to none in the whole Jiangxi Province, and even the provincial capital Nanchang can not be compared.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the land of fish and rice has long been transferred from the shore of Susong Changtai Lake to the west, for the sake of economic interests, Suzhou Songjiang area widely planted mulberry cotton, less grain, the southeast every year of grain can not be self-sufficient, need to be transported from outside, and the source of grain is Huguang and Jiangxi.

The grain of the whole Jiangxi needs to go north from the waterway, through Poyang Lake to Jiujiang, and then from Jiujiang into the Yangtze River to transport to various places. As a transit place for grain and tea, the wealth of Jiujiang can be seen.

Unlike Wuchang, which was ravaged by the war and was ravaged by Zuo Liangyu's troops and the Shun army, because Zuo Mengeng surrendered without a fight, Jiujiang basically did not experience much war. The buildings in the city have not been damaged, a large amount of material remains, and now it is all cheap.

The Qing army attacked Wuhu in the east, and Jiujiang was used as its rear base, storing a large amount of grain and materials, and the grain collected from all over the places occupied by the Qing army had to be collected in Jiujiang, and then transported to the Wuhu front line by water.

Originally, such an important place needed to be garrisoned by heavy troops, but Azig was too conceited, thinking that the Shun army had been defeated and no army could threaten Jiujiang, so the whole division attacked Nanjing, leaving only one leader in Jiujiang to lead the 508 banners and more than 10,000 green battalions to garrison.

Taking Jiujiang lightly, the huge capture made Hao Shaoqile crooked, the storage of more than 100,000 stones was enough for the army to eat for more than three months, and the rich materials in the warehouses in the city made him make a lot of money. And Wuchang, which occupies Jiujiang and the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, the two important towns on the Yangtze River are in their own hands, and they can rely on them to bargain with the Ming court and strive for a good Zhao'an condition.

In the yamen of the Jiujiang prefect, Liu Nengzheng was working hard to write. After the capture of Jiujiang, it was equivalent to cutting off the retreat route of the Qing army's rear and its grain route. Of course, for the Qing army, which has always been accustomed to eating the enemy, the more than 100,000 stone grain in Jiujiang City is nothing.

However, when it was shocked to hear that Jiujiang had fallen, hundreds of thousands of Shun troops suddenly appeared in the rear, and the shock caused to the Qing army was obvious. Next, as long as Hao Shaoqi is urged to continue to march and occupy Anqing, Chizhou, Tongling and other cities along the river in the rear of the Qing army, he will definitely be able to cause great deterrence to the Qing army, so as to help Hou Ye completely defeat the Qing army.

What Liu Neng has to do now is to write a good news and report the matter of persuading Hao Shaoqi to send troops to capture Jiujiang to Chen Yue in Wuhu.

After writing the paperwork, Liu Neng called his confidants and ordered him to be sent to Wuhu as soon as possible, and then went to find Hao Shaoqi.

In the official hall, Gu Junen was trying his best to persuade Hao Shaoqi, but Hao Shaoqi couldn't stop shaking his head.

Seeing Liu Neng come in, Hao Shaoqi was relieved.

"Haha, Brother Liu Neng is here, you and Mr. Gu will talk for a while, and I'll deal with military affairs." After speaking, Hao Shaoqi fled and left.

Regarding Gu Junen's idea of letting himself obey Empress Gao's dispatch and join the rest of the Shun army to attack Huguang and Jiangxi based on Wuchang Jiujiang, Hao Shaoqi instinctively chose to refuse.

Looking at Hao Shaoqi's back, Gu Junen sighed helplessly, people are selfish, Hao Shaoqi is now holding 80,000 troops, and has actually become the largest force in the Shun army, and it is too difficult to convince him to obey orders.

"Mr. Gu, why are you sighing, the battle went so smoothly, it was all because of your plan, you should be happy." Liu Neng said with a smile.

In these days in Hao Shaoqi's army, Liu Neng also knew the situation of the Dashun army very well, and this Gu Junen was a famous planner in the Shun army, which made Liu Neng very interested in it.

Perhaps, you can introduce him to Hou Ye to help Hou Ye achieve great things! Liu Neng suddenly had such an idea in his heart. For a long time, there has been a shortage of talents around Chen Yue who can give advice, and there are only a few people such as Wang Yin, Qian Fenglin, and Shan Minglei, and the small number of staff members does not match his status at all. But who made Chen Yue offend the vast majority of scholars in the Ming Dynasty, as he confiscated the nobles and salt merchants, he harmed the interests of too many people in Shilin, and was also discredited so that no one was willing to work for him.

"Pleased, maybe." Gu Junen smiled reluctantly, capturing Jiujiang could only help the Ming Dynasty defeat the Manchu Tartars who invaded the south, and it would not help the situation of the Shun army at all. If Hao Shaoqi was told by the people in front of him to surrender Daming, it would be even worse for Dashun, which made Gu Junen happy.

"The Great Shun army has been defeated continuously, the emperor has died, and although there are still more than 100,000 remnants of the Shun army, they are confined to the Pingjiang River, and they have lost all their territory and are panicked like a dog hurting their family, and it is easy to understand that Mr. Gu is unhappy." Liu Neng said with a smile.

Since he had the intention to introduce Gu Junen to Chen Yue, Liu Neng knew that he had to dispel his obsession with Dashun and make him despair of Shunjun.

"Humph!" Sure enough, hearing Liu Neng say this, Gu Junen was suddenly unhappy, "What is a lost dog?" Isn't General Hao's headquarters a Shun army? In Yulin, Yan'an, Gansu, Xining, Li Guo, Gao Yigong and other tens of thousands of people, who have already traveled south through Sichuan, will join most of them in the near future. My Dashun army still has something to do! ”

"Huh, huh? If this is the case, why did he lose again and again, losing all the territory in the north, and even the emperor was injured? Liu Neng asked with a smile.

"You!" Gu Junen pointed at Liu Neng, and suddenly became angry.

"Obviously, the Shun army has been defeated imminently, even Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance and others have surrendered to the Manchu Qing, no matter how hard Mr. Gu is, it is difficult to change this outcome, for today's plan, only by choosing to cooperate with the imperial court and return to the imperial court, will the remaining Shun army soldiers find a way out.

At present, the Ming Dynasty is also very worried, in order to recover the lost territory and expel the Manchu Tartars as soon as possible, the imperial court will definitely appease the Shun army and will not kill them all. As for Mr. Gu, you are willing to speak well for you in front of Pingnanhou, and you don't need to worry about the future. At least in the Pingnan Hou Army, there are enough positions to place you. ”

Liu Neng patted his chest and reassured, his words were full of sincerity.

Listening to Liu Neng's words, Gu Junen was slightly moved, and then sneered again, "Hehehe, Chen Yue himself is difficult to protect, and he still resettles me, isn't it a big joke!" When the Mantar was defeated, it was the day when the birds were all hidden, the rabbits were dead and the dogs were cooked, and I, Gu Junen, would rather return to the fields and forests than stand under the dangerous walls, and wanted to persuade me to surrender to Chen Yue, or save it! ”
