After capturing Ganzhou, Li Chengdong sorted out the battlefield, reorganized the prisoners at the same time, and divided the troops into four parts, pulled out all the Qing army strongholds near Ganzhou, and cleared the remnants of the enemy, less than three days, the districts and counties around Ganzhou City have been occupied by the Ming army.

In view of the fact that the southern city of Ganzhou was blown up by gunpowder, the city defense became unprecedentedly weak, and it was difficult to play an effective defensive role for a while.

Li Chengdong immediately dispatched Ding Zhuang from various prefectures and counties in Ganzhou Prefecture to transport soil and pick stones, repair and rectify, fill the gaps, and strengthen the city defense. He has been on the battlefield for a long time, and all the work since the destruction of the city has been arranged in an orderly manner.

At the same time as rectifying internal affairs, Li Chengdong also sent his henchmen Yan Keyi and Zhang Yue, each with 3,000 cavalry to reinforce Luling and Ningdu Prefecture, and instructed them to do their best to delay the pace of the two Tartar armies moving south, so as to gain time for rectifying the interior and repairing the city defense of Ganzhou.

At the same time, Li Chengdong sent an urgent messenger of 800 li to Xingdu for help and asked the Son of Heaven to send troops to reinforce Ganzhou.

After breaking the city, Yu Longbu did not stay in the city for a long time, he still had more important tasks, and left Li Chengdong's troops with 20,000 stones of grain and grass, 50,000 taels of silver and some artillery, and swords, guns and arrows as logistics supplies.

Yu Long took his fleet of 10,000 sailors and hundreds of large and small river boats to continue north along the Ganjiang River to support Nanchang and Jiujiang, carrying 50,000 or 60,000 stone grain, more than 100,000 taels of military salaries, and more than a dozen small and medium-sized Franc machine artillery, all of which were life-saving materials.

Jiangxi is different from Hunan, Yunnan-Guizhou and other places, the territory of the water network is dense, large and small rivers are innumerable, very unfavorable to the gallop of the cavalry, on the contrary, it is the world of sailors and boats.

Yu Long's fleet is currently the only large-scale naval division force in Jiangxi, and when the fleet passed through Ji'an Mansion along the Ganjiang River, the soldiers of the Eight Banners on both sides of the siege of the Fucheng Luling could only watch them show off their might on the river, although they were angry and indignant, but they were helpless!

……

Nanchang, Jiangxi.

Tan Tai, the Manchu chieftain, led an army of 100,000 people, including the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners, to the city of Nanchang, which had been besieged by the Tartars for several months. During this period, the defenders of Nanchang and the people experienced dozens of the most tragic and tragic bloody battles in the world.

During this period, Jin Shenghuan led the Ming army in Nanchang City to fight several times out of the city, intending to break the enemy's encirclement, but the Manmeng Eight Banners were too strong, and the Ming army's siege breaking action not only failed to succeed, but lost a lot of troops in vain.

Similarly, because the Ming army and the gentry and people in the city were very tightly defended, even if the Qing army was dominated by the Eight Banners and the number of troops was considerable, it still failed to reach Tan Tai's original strategic goal, and spent several months under the city, but did not break through the city.

Tan Tai was very angry about this!

Tan Bai is not an ordinary character in history, the Manchurian Tara clan, the Zhengbai Banner people, Qing Tiancong's entourage besieged the Daling River for five years, and Zu Dashou sent more than 100 horsemen to break through. Tan Bai and Niu Lu Zhang Jing Buyantu at that time chased more than 30 people and obtained 24 horses. In the eighth year of Qing Tiancong, he was awarded the title of Niu Lu Zhangjing.

In the following years, Tan Bai made a lot of meritorious contributions, Chongzhen in the last years of the Qing army into the Kouzhong, Tan Bai followed Yue Tuo's command, entered the wall Ziling, attacked Fengrun, and also broke the Ming eunuch Feng Yongsheng's army.

In the following years, Tan Bai led the Baya soldiers to make many meritorious contributions, successively defeating the Ming governors Zhao Guangluan and Fan Zhiwan, and the general soldiers Wu Sangui and Bai Guangen, and entered the third-class Lazhangjing with merit. In the third year of Shunzhi, Tan Bai promoted the military department to Shangshu, from the prince of Su Hao Gexi to ask Zhang Xianzhong, repeatedly broke Zhang Xianzhong's soldiers, Shunzhi four years, and transferred the Ministry of Shangshu, annihilated Zhang Xianzhong.

In the fifth year of Shunzhi, in April, he was personally awarded the seal of the general of the south by the regent Dolgon, and the governor of 100,000 troops went south to fight for thieves.

I never thought that 100,000 soldiers went south, and in a few months, they didn't even capture a single city, and the main force was still dragged under the city of Nanchang, which was a great shame for him, a self-proclaimed smart, civil and military battlefield general!

If this news reaches the ears of the regent Dorgon, he, the general of the expedition to the south, will have to be scolded, and it is estimated that he will not want to bring troops out again for the rest of his life!

Annoyed and angry, Tuntai, on the one hand, sent troops to attack continuously, on the other hand, the wall cleared the wilderness, by the Xiu pontoon bridge, the people of Nanchang City two hundred miles on Monday, regardless of men, women and children, all the people were recruited and served, millions of people first built a seven-mile-wide pontoon bridge, and then built a high platform of more than ten zhang high outside the Yonghe Gate.

The pontoon bridge was repaired, the high platform was repaired, the people were almost dead, and the Qing army received a large amount of food, gold and silver materials from them. What was once a land of prosperity has suddenly become a thousand miles of wasteland.

This method can be described as a double win for the Qing army, both to eat themselves, but also to starve the enemy, without human resources and food aid outside the city, Nanchang soon became a real sense of the lonely city, all around it became a no-man's land, can only sit and eat every day, hunger soon spread throughout the city.

At this time, there was already a serious shortage of grain in the city, and the price of rice in the city suddenly rose from three taels per stone to ten taels, twenty taels, and thirty taels, and as time went by, one stone of grain almost rose to sixty taels of silver. This price greatly exceeded the highest price of grain in the Nanchang market in previous years.

The grain stock in Nanchang City is decreasing at a very fast rate, all the food gives priority to the soldiers and strong men who defend the city, the old and weak people can only fish up the duckweed on the sewage of the pond in the city and eat it to satisfy their hunger, or eat the bark in the city, both the army and the civilian, will remove the doors and windows of the house as fuel, even at this time, the soldiers and civilians of the city are still stubbornly holding on to the city.

The Qing soldiers had already made clear orders; Those who surrender as soon as the soldiers arrive will not kill a single person, resist and kill the whole army in one day, kill half of the people in two days, and leave no chickens and dogs for more than three days.

They have been resisting for months, and they know deep that once the city is broken, they will definitely not be spared, and the millions of men, women and children who die outside the city will be their fate. Rather than being killed by the Tartars at that time, it is better to carry it to the end, and there may be a glimmer of life.

Tan Tai knew that there was no food in the city, so he shouted to the city and gave Jin Shenghuan two stones of grain and rice to relieve his hunger.

Tan Tai originally wanted to disgust Jin Shenghuan, but what he didn't expect was that when he sent someone to send two stones of grain to the city, Jin Shenghuan, who was almost unable to open the pot in the city, still had the ability to give himself fruits and vegetables as a gift in return.

Jin Shenghuan also knew that Chief Man was humiliating him, and after receiving the grain, he quickly sent back a stone of winter bamboo shoots and a stone of kumquat, thinking that he would respond.

And let the accompanying soldiers pass the word: "If you want us to give in, there is no way!" If you kind of you're going to hit in! ”

After hearing this, Tuntai was ashamed and angry for a long time, but he didn't expect that this trick not only did not have the desired effect, but made himself angry!

The battle has dragged on for so long since the war, and so many soldiers have died, even if the city is broken, after returning to Beijing, he may be reprimanded and even punished by the regent and his old man!

What scared Tan Tai even more was that the regent might recall himself to Beijing halfway through to ask for his guilt, in that case, the reputation he had worked hard for half a lifetime would be ruined! Even in the future, it will definitely become the laughing stock of other Manchurian princes and nobles!

The love for his reputation and the fear of the edict of accountability that would come at any time made Tan Tai decide to continue the assault without interruption until he took Nanchang City!
