(ps: This month began to change three thousand words a day, because it was spring, Xiaosheng was too busy with work, yesterday the leader arranged for me to go to land acquisition and demolition, and at the same time, because of the Spring Festival, the manuscripts were consumed, these dozens of chapters are now typed and issued, six thousand words a day really can't stand it, see if you can double change next month!) )

In early December, the Qing soldiers were guided to the city walls, and the local militia continued to resist in street fighting. At dawn, a large number of troops drove in, and the city of Ganzhou was finally defeated. 10,000 yuan and the city coexisted and died. Prior to this, women were forbidden to go out of the city gates. His family secretly took his concubine off the city wall and tried to escape, but Yuanji sent people to chase him back on horseback and beat the family, so no one in the city dared to flee. When the city fell, Wan Yuan Ji's subordinates would escort him outside the city, and Wan Yuan Ji sighed and said, "Say sorry to the people of Ganzhou for me!" I am the one who has brought the whole city to misery, how can I live alone? So he committed suicide by throwing himself into the water, and died at the age of forty-four.

At the same time that Wan Yuan Ji committed suicide by throwing himself into the water, Zhang Jiayu, who was hundreds of miles away, had no idea that Ganzhou had been broken. At the same time, the Qing army general Le Ke Dehun, who occupied Ganzhou, slaughtered Ganzhou and severed its ties with the surrounding prefectures and counties. In this way, even Nan'an Mansion, which is close to Nanxiong Mansion, did not get any news.

And Zhang Jiayu of Nanxiong thought that Ganzhou Mansion was still in the hands of the Ming army, so he received an order from Zhu Hongsan in February to immediately lead all the troops north to aid Ganzhou.

Ganzhou is the hinterland of the Pearl River Delta and the southeast Fujian triangle, an important passage from the mainland to the southeast coast, and also the main gateway of Guangdong to the mainland. Ganzhou is in the upper reaches of the Ganjiang River, the Ganjiang River is the largest tributary of the Yangtze River, in the Ming Dynasty, the water potential of the Ganjiang River is very large, and the sea ship can go directly to Ganzhou. Through the Gan River, you can enter the Poyang Lake water system, and thus the Yangtze River. Therefore, Ganzhou is an important part of Zhu Hongsan's Northern Expedition strategy, if he does not occupy Ganzhou, he will enter Huguang and Jiangxi, and he will have to go to Hengyang and Chenzhou in Huguang, this place is full of mountains, and Zhu Hongsan took this road when he went south. At that time, it was still more than half a year without any baggage, and if the manpower and material resources needed to counterattack Huguang from here would be multiplied, so Ganzhou became a place that Zhu Hongsan had to take.

Zhang Jiayu led an army of 10,000 to set out on February 15 and came to the outside of Nan'an Province through the Meiling Ancient Road on February 21. Now Nan'an Mansion is still in the hands of the Ming army, and at this time, Nan'an Mansion has successively fled to Nan'an from Ganzhou, bringing some news from Ganzhou.

Zhang Jiayu came to Nan'an Mansion as soon as he met with Huang Jin, the prefect of Nan'an Mansion, Huang Jin is a jinshi in the second year of the Apocalypse, as long as he is alive, he is basically a ministerial-level senior official, but Huang Jin is still hanging around here in Sipin, one reason is that he did not study well back then, and he was the last in the top three. Another point is that this person is too pedantic, so pedantic that there is no room for maneuver at all.

Huang Jin had long known that his neighbor Nanxiong Mansion had come to a young Sipin prefect, and he heard that he was a close confidant of the King of Chu in Guangdong. But in Huang Jin's eyes, Zhu Hongsan, the king of Chu, can be compared with Zhu Youlang, the bloodline of Wanli, so when the edict of King Gui of Guangxi first arrived in Nan'an, Huang Jin swore allegiance. In addition, I heard that the Zhang Jiayu in front of him had a bad reputation, and he even surrendered to the thief in Beijing, so that the person is the broken clan like Zhu Hongsan, who likes to use it.

After Huang Jin heard Zhang Jiayu's request to see him, he was embarrassed to see him, so he reluctantly saw him.

Zhang Jiayu has developed the kind of character that has one thing to say in Guangdong, and when he entered the house, he went straight to the topic and asked: "Lord Huang, how is the situation in Ganzhou?" ”

Huang Jin raised his eyelids and looked at Zhang Jiayu and said, "What does it have to do with you Cantonese guys?" Could it be that Lord Zhang still wants to surrender to the Manchus? ”

Huang Jin's words didn't scare Zhang Jiayu to death, and Zhang Jiayu also knew that he really didn't do well in Beijing, but it was really hateful for this old guy in front of him to expose his scars as soon as they met. But for the sake of His Majesty the Emperor's great cause, Zhang Jiayu can only endure.

"Lord Huang, I was sent by His Majesty the Emperor to rescue Ganzhou, why did Lord Huang do this to me?"

Hearing Zhang Jiayu talk about the emperor, Huang Jin was stunned and asked, "Which emperor?" But the Emperor of Yongli? ”

"No, it's the Shenwu Emperor of Guangzhou, my King Chu has been enthroned on the first day of this year, and he has changed his name to Shenwu!"

When Huang Jin heard this, he stood up angrily, and pointed at Zhang Jiayu and scolded: "You rebellious ministers and thieves, can you be the emperor even if you settle down in Huguangpo?" He has royal noble blood, he didn't pick up the clan waist card on the road! ”

Hearing Huang Jin say this, Zhang Jiayu was furious, he respected Zhu Hongsan very much, because only Zhu Hongsan didn't care about his stain when outsiders disliked him, took him in and reused him, and now promoted him to a party leader, so Zhang Jiayu is really angry now.

"Lord Huang, it's okay for you to insult, but please don't insult my father-in-law!"

"Hmph, why do you still want to beat me? You monarchs and ministers are really a perfect match, the broken clan and the three surnamed slaves! ”

Hearing that this Zhang Jiayu couldn't bear it, he went up and gave Huang Jin a punch, then Huang Jin didn't look old enough to be out of Zhang Jiayu, but he was also experienced in a hundred battles in the court, and when he saw Zhang Jiayu make a move, he dodged it and shouted: "Okay, you are a slave with three surnames who want to do it, you think the official is afraid of you!" As he spoke, he waved Wang Ba Fist and rushed towards Zhang Jiayu.

Zhang Jiayu is young after all, plus he has practiced in the army in the past half a year, his body is flexible, he dodged Huang Jin's Wang Baquan in one flash, stretched out his leg to sweep the hall, and ran towards Huang Jin's next three roads.

Huang Jin used to fight with civil officials with his fists, but he didn't expect Zhang Jiayu to play yin, and he came down three ways, and one was kicked down without paying attention. Zhang Jiayu didn't let people do it, and rode on Huang Jin to give him an old fist.

This is the second hall of the Yamen of the Governor of Nan'an Prefecture, and the outside is the office of the six departments. It was found that two red-robed fourth-rank officers were rolling on the ground and scuffling together in disregard of the official's bearing.

Other people have low status, how dare they care about the affairs of these two people, that is, they are quite qualified to know each other. The Tongzhi shouted on the side: "Two adults, stop!" Stop! "But the rise of the two fights does not care about the rest. In the end, Tongzhi had no choice but to go outside to find two strong officials and separate the two.

The low-level petty officials in the prefect's yamen can be regarded as an eye-opener, they have heard before that the adults in the court will start fighting when they disagree, but they didn't expect that they will really open their eyes today.

That fellow knew that he had seen civil officials fight, and when he was in Nanjing in the past, those scholars and servants were all happy to fight, which was much more enjoyable than this. Na Tongzhi stepped forward and persuaded: "The two adults, both of whom are scholars, are they not afraid of insulting Sven like this?" ”

Because of his age, Huang Jin was pressed under Zhang Jiayu just now and beaten for a long time, but now his eyes are blue, and the official uniform on his body has become a flower suit. And Zhang Jiayu on the other side had a broken nose and a lot of blood, which was pitiful to look at.

Huang Jin shouted: "The three surnamed slaves, if you fight, you fight, why attack the old man and go down the three ways, you are too shameless!" ”

Zhang Jiayu was not to be outdone, and scolded: "You old man, aren't you different, why do you use monkeys to steal peaches?" ”

The more Tongzhi listened, the more wrong it became, and the two of them were still embarrassed, so they hurriedly stepped forward to stop them, and said: "Two adults, let's do it today, go down to rest, and it's good to fight again tomorrow with enough spirits!" ”

Huang Jin and Zhang Jiayu saw some small officials in the outer hall shrinking their heads at this time, don't look at these stinky old nine who are very shameless in fighting by themselves, but they still have to pretend to be sanctimonious in front of outsiders.

Zhang Jiayu saw that he couldn't find out the news of Ganzhou today, so he angrily flicked his sleeves and went out to go back to the military camp outside the city.

When I returned to the barracks, I saw Ma Liang and Ma Rufeng patrolling at the gate of the barracks.

Ma Liang saw Zhang Jiayu go out for a trip, why was he so embarrassed, was he robbed in the city?

"Master Zhang, what's wrong with you? But in the city came across a robbery? Damn, our people dare to move, don't worry, Lord Zhang, I'll take 200 people into the city to vent for Lord Zhang! ”

Zhang Jiayu dared to say that it was a fight, so he hurriedly stopped Ma Liang and said: "I understand the kindness of Commander Ma, I don't have anything, everything is safe in the city, I accidentally fell and bumped." After Zhang Jiayu finished speaking, he quickly fled back to his tent to freshen up.

Ma Liang looked at Zhang Jiayu who was walking away, and asked Ma Rufeng beside him, "Rufeng, isn't this obviously a collision, why didn't Master Zhang say it?" ”

Although Ma Rufeng is not a scholar, his father Ma Jiyuan is a serious jinshi, and he still heard that these stinky old nine like to use their hands and not keep their mouths dirty.

"Commander, haven't you heard the story of the old cabinet fight in Guangzhou?"

This Ma Liang had really heard of it, but he had heard it as a joke before, after all, he really couldn't imagine that those old men with eyes on the top of their heads could fight like ruffians.

"Is that rumor true?"

Seeing Ma Rufeng nodding, Ma Liang opened his mouth and said, "Obediently, it seems that these Jinshi masters are also ordinary people!" ”

Ma Rufeng smiled, in fact, there are more filthy things Ma Liang hasn't seen yet, these literati are better dressed and eaten better than hooligan ruffians, and the others are the same as hooligan ruffians, drinking, fighting, visiting brothels and fighting for jealousy, which one is not less?

After Zhang Jiayu entered the house, he changed his clothes, and after grooming, he became that kind of dignified appearance again. came out to find Ma Liang and Ma Rufeng, ready to discuss what to do next.

"Two regiment heads, now the situation in Ganzhou is unknown, what do you say should be done?"

"What else can I do! Drive directly over, what Manchurian Eight Banners, a meal of artillery all lie down! ”

Ma Rufeng pondered for a moment and said, "Master Zhang, I think Commander Ma is right, we now have 10,000 people, and we are not afraid of anyone in the field, as long as we are careful, there is no problem at all." ”

Zhang Jiayu had never experienced the Battle of Nanzhili and did not understand the combat effectiveness of the new army. He knew that this was the first time he had led troops independently, and if he failed, he would be ashamed of the trust placed in His Majesty the Emperor.

Zhang Jiayu thought for a while and said, "It's good for the two of you to look at this!" Let's send more scouts, march no more than 20 miles a day, camp at dawn, camp at dark, and move steadily step by step? ”

Ma Liang was too careful when he heard this, but there was no way, Zhu Hongsan's military order clearly understood, how to inquire about Ma Liang, and decide when to listen to Zhang Jiayu, Ma Liang had no choice but to nod and agree. Ma Rufeng thought for a while and felt that there was nothing wrong with being careful, and nodded in agreement.

Seeing that the two generals agreed, Zhang Jiayu ordered to go down, rest in Nan'an Mansion tonight, and set out after breakfast tomorrow morning and rush to Ganzhou Mansion.
