Chapter 336 Gannan asks for help
At the Yangtze River Wharf in Wuchang Prefecture, Wang Yan withdrew the 60,000 troops who had helped the refugees to the south bank and stationed them in the wilderness by the river.
On the surface of the river, the grain ships transferred from Hunan, as well as the Manda Zhuangbu sailors, are densely spread on the river, there are hundreds of them, and they look like a forest with masts and sails like clouds, and they are magnificent.
After receiving the letters from Wang Yan and He Tengjiao, Du Yinxi sent 600,000 stone of rice and grain from Hunan, which was used by Wang Yan to send troops to Jiangxi and He Tengjiao to help the refugees.
Almost all of the grain from Hunan's summer harvest has been transported, and if you want grain, you can only wait for the autumn harvest.
At this time, it was the middle of August, and Wang Yan really hoped that the heavens would be sunny and sunny, and in this important season when the rice was out of the ears, there would be no natural disasters to destroy Huguang's agriculture, which could not withstand any wind and rain.
On the edge of the Yangtze River, He Tengjiao also led his subordinate officials to worship the dragon god and pray for good weather and rain, which made Wang Yan feel that this person was not exactly a-stirring stick, but also had a good side.
This relief is a rare life experience for Wang Yan, he has not been an official for many days, and he is basically leading troops to fight, and he knows little about government affairs, but this time he has learned a lot and accumulated a lot of experience in dealing with disasters.
Wang Yan is sure that even if he encounters a greater disaster in the future, with his current experience and the fact that some special ideas often pop up in his head, he will definitely be able to deal with it.
In the early morning, on the bank of the Yangtze River, Wang Yan stood on the embankment, staring at the river flowing eastward, looking at the boats on the river, and said to Jiang Yueguang on the side: "600,000 stone grain, this governor divides He Tengjiao 400,000 stone, only uses 200,000 stone, but I don't know if I can solve the Qing soldiers in Jiangxi." ”
"Don't worry about this, Jiangxi also has grain and grass, as long as you build the city, you can get the money and grain looted by the Qing army~" Jiang Yueguang said with a smile: "This time I sent troops to Jiangxi, I thought that Guogong would even be able to get a lot of benefits." ”
"Oh?" Wang Yan was slightly puzzled, then nodded with a smile, "Just like this Wuchang?" ”
The Huguang Battle was divided into two parts, the first part took place in Wuchang and the second part took place in Xiangyang.
Between the two parts, two completely different results were caused, the Ming army in the Battle of Wuchang belonged to the attacking side, and a large number of materials and money and grain were captured, and the Ming army in the Battle of Xiangyang was the defender, not only Fancheng was destroyed, but also triggered a wave of refugees, and the losses were immeasurable.
The difference between this attack and defense also made Wang Yan have a lot of understandings about why nomadism in history caused so much damage to the Central Plains Dynasty.
It's always much easier to destroy than to protect. \u000b At this time, more than a dozen cavalry galloped over, and the cavalry led by turned over and dismounted, then ran up the hillside, and saluted in front of Wang Yan: "Qi Guogong, there is an urgent letter from the Wandu Division of Gannan!" \u000b When Wang Yan and Jiang Yue heard this, they couldn't help but raise their eyebrows, squinted and said, "Quickly bring a messenger to see me!" \u000b A moment later, a messenger was brought up, and he saluted Wang Yan, "Go down to the officer and soldier section to Zhang Jiayu in the matter, see Chu Guogong!" ”
Zhang Jiayu, the word Xuanzi, the number Zhiyuan, a native of Guangdong, is a good chivalrous and righteous, and has a wide range of friends. At the age of nineteen, he was admitted to Xiucai, a member of the Confucian students in Guangzhou, a member of the township examination at the age of twenty-two, and a scholar at the age of twenty-nine.
In the first year of Hongguang, the Qing army broke through Nanjing, Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong was captured, and Jiayu fled to Hangzhou. In leap June, Tang King Zhu Yujian was located in Fuzhou, changed to Longwu, Zhang Jiayu was awarded the Hanlin Academy, and then ordered Zhang Jiayu to be the military department to give the matter, and the governor Yongsheng army entered Jiangxi.
Wang Yan has some impressions of Zhang Jiayu, which stems from Chongzhen's sixteenth year of the Beijing Teacher Examination, his name is Sun Shan, but Zhang Jiayu is a high school class, so Wang Yan has heard of Zhang Jiayu's name, and he has also had a relationship.
Wang Yan looked at Zhang Jiayu, who was in his early thirties, dragged his hand with both hands, and said with a smile: "Jingshi is goodbye, more than three years, Brother Zhiyuan has changed a lot, and there are white silk on his sideburns, which makes me sigh very much~"
There is a saying of the same year in the imperial examination, which is the same as the relationship between teachers and students, the same relationship between the same door, is one of the important links in the officialdom, and the people on the same list often support each other after embarking on their official careers.
Zhang Jiayu and Wang Yan did not have much intersection, and later Wang Yan rose, and he remembered that he had a relationship at the beginning, so he didn't dare to make a friendship directly just now, but did business, but Wang Yan's attitude made him sigh.
The students who rushed to take the exam in Beijing in the sixteenth year of Chongzhen have experienced the turmoil of Jiashen, the change of the Forbidden City in the year of Yiyou, and the changes in Yuhang, how sad it is to meet again.
"For three years, the situation changed, from Beijing to Nanjing, and then fled to Hangzhou, and then transferred to Fujian, and finally led troops into Jiangxi, trekking thousands of miles, experiencing many ups and downs, witnessing the mountains and rivers changing color, the country was ruined, and the wind and rain were hard. Zhang Jiayu couldn't help but shake hands with Wang Yan with some excitement, "At that time, Brother Shiheng was still a handsome and talented man who was famous in Beijing, and now he has more scars on his face, a thick calloon on his hands, and iron armor on his body, becoming the pillar of the Optimus of the Dynasty, which also makes me sigh~"
Wang Yan and Zhang Jiayu looked at each other and smiled, then pulled him to his side, introduced Jiang Yueguang and others to him, and then asked with concern: "How is the situation in Gannan?" How could Master Wan send Brother Zhiyuan here? ”
"The situation is not good, at the end of July, Wan'an fell, lost more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, even the old Yangge committed suicide, the governor Kuangzhao was captured, unyielding was killed, more than 20 large and small officials committed suicide, and the vitality of southern Gan was greatly injured." Zhang Jiayu replied sadly: "Now Luck Dehun is urging the army to besiege Ganzhou and drive the people to transport soil to fill the moat, the situation in Ganzhou is already critical, and the Wan Governor has no other way, so he sent me to implore the Guogong to rescue Gannan!" \u000b After Zhang Jiayu finished speaking, he handed over a letter to Wang Yan, Wang Yan opened the letter, it was the note of his brother Wang Fuzhi, Chen said the danger of southern Jiangnan, he read the letter, and then forwarded the letter to Jiang Yueguang and others for a look, and then said to Zhang Jiayu: "I heard that Your Majesty is going to move, so I have long had the intention of sending troops to Jiangxi to take over, even if Brother Zhiyuan does not come, I will send troops to attack Jiangxi in these days." Since I have received an urgent letter from Gannan today, I will immediately send troops, and tomorrow morning, I will advance by land and water to kill Jiujiang. ”
"It's really good to be like this~" When Zhang Jiayu set off from southern Jiangnan, he thought that Huguang was still fighting with the Qing soldiers and couldn't draw troops, and when he entered Wuchang, he heard that Wang Yan and He Tengjiao had defeated the Qing army, and he was immediately overjoyed, but soon heard that Huguang had a refugee wave and a food crisis, and he was reminded again. Now that he received Wang Yan's reply that he had sent troops, he immediately became happy in his heart.
Seeing this, Wang Yan immediately said: "Although our army is far away from southern Jiangxi, Fu Shangrui, the governor of Hubei, has already sent 20,000 horses to meet him, and it is long overdue to arrive in southern Jiangxi now. ”
"In terms of the Yingjia Army, Inspector Wan also sent people to contact, but when I left Gannan, I never got the news back, and I don't know if I left Hunan~"
Wang Yan couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard this, when he went north to Xiangyang, the Yingjia army had already left Yueyang, how could there be no news, which made him raise a trace of vigilance, and felt a panic, so he immediately ordered: "Order the army to pack up the camp tent and prepare to go!" ”
He turned back to one of his own soldiers and said, "Go and summon General Man and General Li to meet me!" \u000b A quarter of an hour later, Man Dazhuang, who had just arrived and had been promoted to the commander-in-chief of the Huguang Water Division, and Li Guo, a loyal soldier, walked quickly to Wang Yan's side, and they knelt down on one knee and saluted, "See Guogong!" "\u000b" Two generals, please! Wang Yan ordered them to get up, and directly ordered to the point: "Your Majesty will move to Huguang, and Ganzhou will definitely not be lost." Today, the governor of Jiangxi ordered the military department to ask Lord Zhang for help in the matter, and the governor has decided to send troops immediately. The two of you, General Li can be the vanguard, General Man is the deputy general, and Mr. Lao Yan and Mr. are the military divisions, leading 30,000 horses to capture Jiujiang and open the passage to Jiangxi for the rear army~"
