The Manchu three-way army totaled 230,000 men and horses, and invaded Chu and Jiangxi on a large scale, which was the largest military operation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty since the Qing army entered the customs at the beginning of the three-way southward march of Duoduo, Azig, and Zhunta.

The land of Chu and Jiangxi, thousands of miles of fertile fields, the granary of the world, who doesn't want it? The Qing army went out in three ways, Mandahai invaded Jiangxi, the king of Liangshun besieged Xiangfan, Duoduo broke through Guangji, Huangshi, Qizhou, Qishui and other places, and the army went up along the Yangtze River.

It's just that the Qihuang area is mountainous and watery, and the river network is dense, and although the Qihuang Righteous Army was defeated, it was not wiped out.

Huanggang City is located in the lower reaches of Wuchang, and the Ming general Chen Youlong led 7,000 men and horses to garrison here. He was originally Liu Chengyin's general, but after being seconded by Wang Yan, he made great contributions and was promoted to the chief military officer of Huangzhou.

At this time, the city was full of banners, and from the outside of the city, it seemed that the soldiers and horses were very strong, but the soldiers on the city wall were very sparse, and the troops were obviously insufficient.

Liu Chengyin fled without a fight, which greatly damaged the morale of the army and the people, and the people of eastern Hubei heard that the Qing soldiers had entered the Kou, and they fled to the west with their families, and most of the gentry and people in Huanggang City also fled.

Chen Youlong's 7,000 men naturally couldn't stop Duoduo's 100,000 horses, but he had to hold on to Huanggang for a while to defend Wuchang and He Tengjiao to buy time for him to return to his division.

In the Huanggang Mansion, Chen Youlong was discussing the defense strategy with the general Yang Wenyi and others, and the defense of Huanggang City was a little weak with 7,000 men, so some people suggested retreating to the Sanjiangkou and holding the danger.

A few people in the hall were arguing fiercely, and there was a commotion outside, and the generals didn't care, but Chen Youlong was irritable for a while, and his face changed.

The Qing army was pressing, and the situation was very unfavorable to the Ming army, Chen Youlong felt pressure, but as the chief general, he couldn't show it in front of his subordinates.

He immediately placed the pole on the sand table and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

A personal soldier came forward and accused: "Sun Qianhu wanted to see the military gate, and he was obstructed by his humble position, so he was disturbed. ”

Chen Youlong waved his hand, didn't blame him, and said loudly: "I'll talk about it later, Ben is discussing a defensive plan." ”

Sun Qianhu outside the hall seemed to be in a hurry, as if the Qing soldiers had hit him, he walked forward to the door, and hurriedly said: "General, someone from Nanjing is here." ”

Chen Youlong was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had heard it wrong, and asked, "What did you say?" Nanking? ”

"Back to Dashuai, it is indeed Nanjing." Sun Qianhu replied with great certainty.

Hey, it's weird, could it be that the Hong thief wants to recruit him, but he doesn't have many people, and secondly, he is not a famous general, how could the Manchus think of him?

Chen Youlong glanced at the generals in the hall, and when he saw their eyes looking at him in unison, his heart sank, and he asked openly, "Whose person?" Is the surname Han or the surname Hu? ”

Chen Youlong has no connections in Jiangnan, and he is afraid that most of the people who came from Nanjing were sent by Hong thieves.

Who knew that Sun Qianhu was embarrassed when he heard this question, "General, it's a matter of confidentiality, in short, it's not a Manchu person." ”

If you don't have the surname Hu, that is the surname Han, it is impossible for the person who rides the wall to find him, but he came from Nanjing, and it is a matter of confidentiality, so who is it?

At the east gate of Huanggang City, a group of people called Hua came from the east, about seven or eight people, all ragged and unkempt.

During the war, it was not uncommon for people to be displaced and reduced to beggars, but although these people were dressed in tatters and looked very poor, they were all strong and strong, with straight backs, and they were obviously not ordinary people.

The Qing army entered the Kou, and Huanggang had become the front line, and the Ming army naturally strengthened the search and arrest, and strictly investigated and meticulously worked.

As soon as they entered the city, they were noticed by the defenders and surrounded for interrogation, but when they saw the heavily armed Ming army, they were not afraid, and they were all stunned and pestleed there, and even claimed to see the guard Chen Youlong.

At this time, Chen Youlong listened to Sun Qianhu's words, and led a group of people out of the lobby, all the way to the east gate, and several people named Huajian hurriedly came forward.

When Chen Youlong saw this group of people, his eyes swept over them, his face was smeared with sludge and he couldn't recognize his original appearance, and his body still exuded a foul smell, and he looked quite professional, but his momentum really didn't look like a beggar.

Of course, this may be because they felt that there was no need to hide in front of the Ming army, so they put away their disguises, but in any case, this group of people came from Nanjing and pretended to be like this, and they would definitely not be from the Qing court.

At this time, the group called Huazhong, and the first person stepped forward to hug his fists and said: "Mr. Chen!" ”

Chen Youlong looked him up and down from head to toe, but he couldn't see whether he recognized him or not, and wondered: "Who is a strong man?" ”

"Earthquake Nangang, a group of streams and mountains through the ages." The beggar solemnly clenched his fists and said: "Drive the Han Dynasty and restore the rivers and mountains." ”

Chen Zilong had already listened to what Sun Qianhu had said, and now that he came to see it in person, he was basically sure that he was a member of the Heaven and Earth Society.

Jiangnan Tiandihui was at its peak, but since the Qing court entered Jiangnan, it has been hit. Not long ago, the Taihu Lake Water Village was broken by the Qing soldiers, and the Taihu Rebel Army broke through to the sea, and the Tiandihui, which has always been the rudder of the Tiandihui, also suffered a heavy blow.

It was inconvenient to talk at the city gate, so Chen Zilong hurriedly asked the guards to take the group back to the palace, took everyone to clean it first, and asked the soldiers to prepare some food.

After Chen Youlong took the generals to inspect the city, when he returned to the palace, the soldiers reported that several righteous soldiers had been cleaned, so he went straight to the door, and the soldiers pushed open the door, only to see a few people in the house, some standing, some squatting, and some sitting, but almost everyone grabbed the cake with one hand and the meat with the other, and even took a bite of the soup.

Chen Youlong and his generals glanced at each other, and said in their hearts that they hadn't eaten for a few days?

When several righteous soldiers from the Heaven and Earth Society saw Chen Youlong coming in, only the leader immediately stopped eating, stood up and hugged his fists and said: "Heaven and Earth Society, Hu Weizong, let President Chen smile." The fire in Jindu Town burned well, and the brothers came all the way, but in order to avoid the Qing soldiers, they did not find anything to eat. ”

Several other people also stopped at this time, put down the food in their hands, wiped their mouths, and clenched their fists to introduce themselves.

When Chen Youlong heard this, he was greatly surprised, not to mention Hu Weizong, the chief helmsman of the Heaven and Earth Society, and several other people were also important members of the Heaven and Earth Society who were famous in the south of the Yangtze River, and all of them were important criminals who were arrested by the Qing court with a reward.

These people don't stir up trouble in Jiangnan, what are they doing in Huguang?

Hu Weizong saw Chen Youlong's puzzled expression, so he immediately took out the chief helmsman token from his chest, and took out the seal letter given to him by Wang Yan for his identification.

Chen Youlong and the generals studied for a moment, confirmed without a doubt, and a solemn look leaked from his face, he returned the token seal letter to Hu Weizong, and saluted with a fist, "I don't know if it's the chief helmsman, Chen Mou is rude." ”
