There is a way is a disaster is not a single line, blessing is incomparable, just when Lu Jianguo entered the Yangtze River, which made the south of the Yangtze River earthquake, and the people were panicked, the Qing soldiers in Jiangxi were defeated and returned, and only more than 5,000 cavalry of 50,000 horses fled back one after another.

The Qing army not only lost its commander Mandahai, but also lost Anqing, an important town in the upper reaches of Jiangning, which shocked Hong Chengchou.

Hong Chengchou immediately realized that Duoduo was also in danger, and he sent a report to Beijing to ask for Manchurian troops to support, and on the other hand, he prepared to raise troops to recapture Anqing and open up the grain route.

King Kelu's men and horses, like a stinky skin plaster, have already withdrawn from the Yangtze River, but I don't know why? Returning to Chongming Island, hundreds of large ships cruised on the river, and soldiers landed on the shore to harass them, causing peace in Suzhou, Songjiang, and Yangzhou, and the Qing court was paralyzed by fear.

There was a great chaos in the county of Shanghai, there were people wearing Hanfu and scarves, afraid of drinking the government, forcing the Qing court to open the city to meet the king, arrogant, Hong Chengchou had to send the 20,000 soldiers and horses that were ready to be used to recover Anqing to Shanghai and other places, and threatened to slaughter the city, so as to stabilize the situation.

At this time, the army of Lu Jianguo, seeing that the main force of the Qing army was stationed at the mouth of the Yangtze River, immediately returned to the sea, but did not retreat, but used the sandbar near Chongming as a base to reclaim the land and cultivate, and looked like it was patient and did not leave.

Before, Zhang Mingzhen had a small fight in Chongming, but now there are nearly 20,000 Lu soldiers stationed at the mouth of the Yangtze River, how can Hong Chengchou endure it. He immediately ordered the sailors to attack, but the mouth of the Yangtze River was no better than ordinary rivers, the waters were wide, and the wind and waves were high.

The Lu army did not retreat this time, as if he was determined to plant rice here and settle down at the mouth of the Yangtze River.

The two sides fought a big battle near Chongming Island, and more than 50 Qing ships were sunk and hurriedly retreated into the Yangtze River.

In mid-August, before the problem of Lu Jianguo was resolved, the news of Duoduo's side came that the battle of Chu and Jiangxi was a complete failure.

Duoduo retreated to Xinyang, and the army had already eaten up the grain and grass, so he could only rob a few county towns in the area controlled by the Qing court, replenish them on the spot, and urge Hong Chengchou to hurry up and raise food.

In mid-September, another piece of news came that Wang Yan had led nearly 100,000 horses out of Sichuan and had arrived in Wuchang, bringing the regular Ming army in Chu and Jiangxi to more than 220,000.

If you count some chaotic rebel armies, there are even more, and they have seriously threatened Jiangnan.

Various signs, as well as secret reports from the Qing court, showed that all kinds of supplies from the Ming Dynasty were gathering in Chu and Jiangxi, which made Hong Chengchou feel a huge sense of threat.

Fortunately, at this time, Duoduo's soldiers and horses had reached the north bank of the Yangtze River, so that the troops in the south of the Yangtze River were full, but the offensive and defensive transposition was already very obvious.

To the south of Yangzhou, Guazhou crossed, Hong Chengchou rushed to meet Duoduo.

Yangzhou City was burned down by Wang Yan, and now it has been four years, and Yangzhou has been rebuilt from a ruin at this moment.

Although Yangzhou at this time is no longer as prosperous as it used to be, because it is located on the main water and land routes, where the throat of the Grand Canal is located, it has gradually recovered some popularity, and the market has begun to prosper.

This was originally the base camp of the two Huai salt merchants, but now it is the world of rich merchants in Shanxi, Yangzhou can recover so quickly, in addition to the Qing court capital Beijing, hundreds of thousands of parasites need to restart the Cao Yun to feed, Yangzhou is in the Cao Yun artery, the eight imperial merchants injected a large amount of silver, is also indispensable.

At this time, in the city of Yangzhou, restaurants, brothels and other industries were mostly owned by Shanxi merchants.

Hong Chengchou entered Yangzhou City, did not go to the palace, and went straight to a large mansion in the east of the city, which was the property of Fan Yongdou, one of the imperial merchants, and Duoduo stayed in his mansion.

In this Chu-Jiangxi war, the Qing army did not complete the strategic goal, and spent countless materials, but returned in vain.

Hong Chengchou was waiting for him in Jiangning, but now he can only come to Yangzhou.

Duoduo rested in Yangzhou for a few days, and the weather became cooler in autumn, his complexion improved, and his body gradually recovered.

At this time, Duoduo was walking around the courtyard in a single robe, when a guard stepped forward, called a thousand children, and reported: "Lord Wang, Governor Hong has arrived. ”

"Oh, take him to the lobby and wait, and the king will come later." As soon as Duoduo waved his hand, the two little maidservants immediately stepped forward and helped him to walk back.

Hong Chengchou sat in the lobby, the tables and chairs are made of fine yellow rosewood, the average person can have a string of yellow pear Buddha beads to play, it is very good, this whole set of furniture, doors and windows are yellow rosewood, which shows the heroism of the owner.

The servant served refreshments, but Hong Chengchou did not move, he waited for a while, and Duoduo was helped out of it.

His illness is a bit difficult to talk about, first, he is angry in his heart, and second, he does not pay attention to hygiene, he has dysentery, and his legs are weak.

Hong Chengchou saw that his face was pale, and he was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, this is~"

Duoduo waved his hand, not wanting to listen to Hong Chengchou's guidance on his physical condition, he interrupted him, sat down and said directly: "This king is in good health. I heard that Wang Yan went out of Sichuan, and more than 100,000 people arrived in Wuchang, is the news reliable? ”

Seeing this, Hong Chengchou stood respectfully and nodded, "I was about to explain this matter to the prince." After Wang Yan left Sichuan, the main force of the Ming army was concentrated in the land of Chu and Jiangxi, and the next step must be to go east and take Jiangnan directly, we can't help but guard against it! ”

These words made Duoduo feel like a dream, the first two years were the Qing Dynasty chasing the Ming Dynasty, although the luck in the past two years has been bad, but it has not reached the point of complete reversal.

Duoduo didn't believe it in his heart, although the Qing army's attack on Chu and Jiangxi failed this time, and Jiangnan lost a total of more than 80,000 people, but Jiangnan still had 130,000 soldiers, plus Zhejiang, half of Fujian, more than 180,000 troops.

If the Ming army wants to attack Jiangnan, it must send at least 300,000 troops, he does not believe that the Ming Dynasty can mobilize so many large troops, and the Ming army will attack Jiangnan, and the Qing troops in Lianghuai and Beijing can go south to support.

Hearing this, Duoduo was silent for a while, "Is the situation so bad?" The Ming army was able to attack Jiangnan so quickly? ”

Hong Chengchou saw that Duoduo didn't believe it, and threw out another big thing, "Lord Wang, the sticky pole has recently discovered that there are some changes in the Jiangnan gentry, and even Shandong, Shanxi, and Beijing have Han members involved, it seems that they are planning a big event!" ”

"What?" Duoduo raised his eyebrows and said, "Governor Hong is saying that someone wants to be unfavorable to my Great Qing Dynasty?" ”

"Lord Wang, the other party is more secretive, and the sticky rod has not been found for the time being." Hong Chengchou paused, and then said: "However, judging from some clues, these people seem to be planning to help the Ming Dynasty seek Jiangnan. ”

Duoduo straightened up, frowned and asked, "What do you say?" Do they have that ability? ”

"Lord, in August, Haikou Lu rebelled, led the boat division into the Yangtze River, and then withdrew from the mouth of the Yangtze River, but for some reason, he turned back and stationed the people and horses on Chongming and other sandbanks, fighting without fighting, retreating and not retreating, the big ship wandered at the mouth of the river, there must be a secret clue from the mainland traitors, and there are plots."

"Governor Hong, what do you think they're going to do?" Dodor became serious.

"The prince doesn't believe that the Ming army will attack Jiangnan on a large scale, but if the Ming army blocks the Yangtze River with a naval division first, Jiangnan will definitely be in chaos, and when the Ming army comes along the river, I am afraid that the states and counties along the way will rebel."
