Before the Qingliu Pass, the Northern Expeditionary Army braved the rain to enter the Qingliu Pass and occupied this Xiongguan in advance, so as not to return the Qing soldiers.

The lush number of mountains has turned into ashes, and the endless sins and corpses have dissipated with the green smoke.

The past has been hurt several times in the world, but what has not changed is that the mountain shape is still the same, changing from green to gray and black. By the third day of the fire, the smoke column was thousands of meters high, and even the Northern Expeditionary Army under the mountain had to retreat to avoid the smoke.

Under the heavy rain, the bluestone pavement was muddy, and Hou Xuanyan walked to the stairs, his boots already dyed black. Thanks to this overcast rainstorm, the ashes alone would have been enough to make the place impassable.

The ashes all over the mountains were washed into the clear river flowing in the mountains by the rain, and this is called the Chuzhou mother river that is called "the blue cloud belt flowing slightly, and the green peach and red herons fly", and the river water has completely turned black for several months, and it has been called the Heishui River since then.

"The Jianghuai watershed, the mountains at the southeast foothills. After this mountain, out of the Jianghuai, the scenery of the old country has not been seen for a long time, the last time I got to the north, it was still the time of Chongzhen. Although Zhu Dadian's hometown is Changshan Village in Jinhua, Zhejiang, the most beautiful time of his eunuch life is in the north. In the forty-fourth year of Wanli, he served as the magistrate of Zhangqiu, and climbed to the high position of the right attendant of the military department in less than three years. The mud legs that came out of this mountain village are practiced in human affection, and they are really perfect.

Hou Xuanyan looked at the black Qingliu Pass, where the fire lasted for seven days and burned how many corpses were burned. A wisp of green smoke drifting away with the wind may be the pillar of a family, and Ye Niang's wife is looking forward to the return of her lover day and night.

Groups of Northern Expeditionary Army walked through the mountains and walked along the Qingliu Pass. Because they didn't know the movements of the Qing soldiers, all the generals were careful. Since the crossing of the river, there have been several battles, each more tragic than the other, and each time in the raid and the raided encounter, caught in a fight. These veterans should not be vigilant on the march.

Hou Xuanyan found a stone, rubbed off the black mud on his feet that had affected his walking, and muttered: "There are two roads after Qingliu Pass, one is to go north to Fengyang, fight a decisive battle with Jierharang, and beat the water dogs. The second is to march east into Huai'an, and Li Haoxian's Huozi battalion flanked the Huai'an Qing soldiers, and the troops came to Shandong. Your Excellency, I think that is the easiest way to go. ”

"Fight Fengyang, although Fengyang is big, there is no big city with high walls, and it reaches the Central Plains with a flat river."

"Fight Huai'an, take Huai'an and pass through Shandong is Jifu, and if you recover Shenjing, the Northern Expedition will be completed!"

"I think it's good to fight Fengyang, the loyal battalion and the puppet Qing four feudal kings are fighting in the Central Plains, if we can hit the Central Plains, the north can look at Shaanxi and Gansu, and the west can map Hanzhong to Sichuan and Shu, and the whole situation is alive."

"Huai'an has won, we have countless baggage that can be transported on the salt road, and wherever we play, it is the home field. The situation in the Central Plains is complicated, and I am afraid that it will be difficult. ”

The generals talked about you and me fiercely. Only Yan Yingyuan was silent on the side, Hou Xuanyan glanced at him in surprise, and asked aloud, "What does Liheng think?" ”

Yan Yingyuan frowned and sighed: "When I was in Jiangpu, I heard Zhang Mingzhen say that Zheng Zhilong's sailors showed off their might along the Huaiyang coast, and countless grains, firearms, and gunpowder were transported by him from the water to Wakda in Huai'an, and Manchuria Jiannu was like a tiger with wings. I'm just afraid... The fire word camp is difficult to support alone. ”

The Zheng family in Fujian is too rich, and the accumulation of so many years plus the control of the Southeast Passage has given them a strong capital. The land in Fujian is barren, but Zheng Zhilong can buy a large amount of grain from the people in Nanyang, and the price he pays is only to allow them to take the southeast shipping route. The Zheng family sailors entrenched in the Penghu area have actually surpassed the strength of the Netherlands and Francois in this area, and they are well-deserved hegemons at sea.

Originally, Wakda in Huai'an was an important pawn of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to obtain strategic resources in the south of the Yangtze River, but after Hou Xuanyan sent people to purge merchants in Yangzhou, Wakda lost its source. But Zheng Zhilong's sudden alliance with them allowed him to regain a new path. The Zheng family's financial resources are comparable to all the merchants in Yangzhou combined.

Hou Xuanyan was full of anger in his heart, Zheng Zhilong has always been a thorn in his side, but he didn't expect that once he was harmed, he would be at the level of a national thief. This giant who has controlled the southeast coast for thirty years does not seem to be as easy to deal with as he imagined.

After Yan Yingyuan finished speaking, Hou Xuanyan did not express his position, and the generals below fell into an argument after a short period of silence.

Jiang Jianxun cleared his throat and prepared to make a speech, but others were discussing it hotly, and he couldn't interject. He originally thought that he coughed twice, and everyone was civilized and his own people, so he would definitely give him three points of thin noodles and stop to listen to him. Who knew that others didn't even look at him, Jiang Jianxun had no choice but to rivet his strength and shouted: "Everyone, please listen to me." ”

All the generals on the mountainside, including Hou Xuanyan, were taken aback by him and looked sideways.

Jiang Jianxun cleared his throat with satisfaction, and said to Hou Xuanyan: "The lower officials think that it is better to go to Huai'an than to go north to Fengyang and fight in the Central Plains, even if the loyal battalion in the Central Plains is defeated, we still have Jingxiang, Huguang, and Sichuan and Guizhou as buffers. Layer by layer, our forces are continuous and powerful, and we will not be killed by a single punch. But Yangzhou is different, with Zheng Zhilong's sailors, the Manchu Qing can even transport elite troops across the south of the Yangtze River and land in the hinterland of Zhejiang. Our heartlands, Suzhou, Songjiang, and Jinling, were all exposed to the enemy's attack. ”

After listening to this, Hou Xuanyan was shocked by the cold sweat on his forehead, and said: "The Houtu Camp stayed to guard the Qingliu Pass, and the Shuizi Camp went to Huai'an with me. ”

Yan Yingyuan nodded, clenched his fists and said, "The lower officials must guard this pass." ”

Qingliu Pass is the gateway to Jianghuai, as long as this place is held, the Qing soldiers will not be able to go south from Yingtianfu. In the Huaiyang area, there will be no Manchu reinforcements. Unless it was Dolgon who was willing to let the main force of the two yellow flags and two white flags guarding in Kifu go south to support Huai'an.

The Northern Expeditionary Army, which had lost its Houtu camp, marched along the Lai'an River to Huai'an. The Lai'an River and the Qingliu River form the shape of a bowl, which flows into the Qingliu River at the mouth of the small river at the Qingliu Pass, and converges into a single river.

A month later, the army came to Hengyang, and the people here had not seen the Ming army for a long time under the obscenity of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

In a small town outside Hengyang City, the local gentry recommended Xie Yuanwai and brought the grain that everyone had gathered to pay for the grain of the territory. Dozens of shaved people, hiding their braids in their quad hats, knelt on the side of the road and waited for the Northern Expeditionary Army.

The passing Northern Expeditionary Army did not know why, and looked at this strange group of people suspiciously, but no one expelled them, after all, they were no threat to themselves.

Hou Xuanyan was riding on a horse, and when he saw this strange scene, he stepped forward and asked in surprise: "Uncle, what does this mean?" ”

Xie Yuanwai didn't dare to raise his head, and buried his head and said: "All the military masters have worked hard, this is the heart of the town, I hope you will remember our filial piety and spare the lives of the villagers in this town." ”

Qin He attached himself to his side and gave Hou Xuan a speech to explain that there was a rule in the place occupied by the Manchus. In the past Qing army march, these towns along the way must pay for the protection of the territory, otherwise they will slaughter the people in the town. The people here didn't know the identity of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and thought that it was another Qing soldier crossing the border, so they knelt on the side of the road and waited to pay grain to ensure safety. This is the food that each family has put together, and many of them are the last life-saving food of the small people.

Hou Xuanyan pulled out his sword and picked his hat open, which frightened Old Man Xie and trembled, just thinking that he was going to commit murder on the street.

Hou Xuanyan cut lightly, and the fastidious sword cut off his money rattail braid, and then inserted the sword back into his waist.

"Uncle, remember, we Han people will never shave their hair, and they are helpless to force you, but where my Hou Xuan has played, the identity of the Han people is your biggest life charm, and you don't need any food to protect the territory."
