"Each family sweeps the snow in front of the door, and no one cares about the frost on the tiles of others."

For the Ming Dynasty, the provincial border is more sacred than the national border, the Ming army in Huguang will never enter Jiangxi, and the Ming army in Jiangxi will never enter Fujian, even if Jiangxi is occupied by the Qing army, He Tengjiao and others have always seen death and did not save it, and the Qing army has long been accustomed to this.

In addition, there is a big mountain barrier between the northern part of Jiangxi and Huguang, in the eyes of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, this is already a safe rear, the army is very empty, the Gongyi battalion suddenly entered Jiangxi, as if into no one's land.

After resting for a few days in Wuning, the Gongyi battalion set out again, advancing by land and water, and killing Jianchang County in the lower reaches of the Xiushui River.

In this article, there are not only the signatures of many gentlemen and heroes in Ningzhou and Wuning counties, but Fan Wenqin also claims to be the martial artist of Daming Town, who wants to "strive for the courage of the army, recruit heroes, and support the emperor's ......", as if he was the leader of the righteous teachers who erected the banner to resist the Qing Dynasty.

Since he is the leader of the righteous division, of course, he has to go out with the army, Fan Wenqin and his family said goodbye with tears, bearing the title of Zhenwubo, and under the banner of the majestic Zhenwubo, he "led" the Gongyi battalion to kill Jianchang County.

Jianchang County surrendered without a fight.

Jianchang County (now Yongxiu, Jiangxi) is located in the hinterland of Jiangxi, in addition to the three classes of government service, there is no soldier, the county order heard that Wuning's "anti-thief" is coming, while asking for help from Nanchang Mansion, while piecing together hundreds of young people to prepare to defend the city, but these young men suddenly counterattacked, opened the city gate and put the Gongyi battalion into the county seat.

Nanchang Mansion quickly sent reinforcements, 3,000 elite green battalions, and the general who led the troops was a general, Jin Shenghuan's cousin Jin Shengjie, but after he arrived in Jianchang County, all he saw was an empty city.

The thief is gone!

Jin Shengjie sent scouts to investigate everywhere. There was no news of the anti-thieves, so he left 1,000 men and horses to garrison Jianchang County, and led the other 2,000 green battalions to attack the bandits' nest Wuning.

Wuning County surrendered without a fight.

The gentry and merchants in the county "revolted" and surrendered the city, but only the anti-thief Fan Wenqin and his family absconded in fear of crime and fled to Ningzhou. At this time, Jin Shengjie knew the truth of the matter, this was not an ordinary anti-thief rebellion at all, but the regular army of the Ming Dynasty called, at least seven or eight thousand people. Some people say it's tens of thousands of troops!

Hurry!

He immediately sent a messenger to Nanchang Mansion and the front line of Ganzhou to report the emergency, Jin Shenghuan was attacking Ganzhou with all his might, and the hinterland of Jiangxi was empty, and such a large Ming army suddenly appeared. is also fanning the flames everywhere, and if it is not good, it will be a prairie fire. Irremediable.

After sending the messenger. He was about to go to exterminate the thieves in Ningzhou, when suddenly the news of Ruichang's emergency came.

Ruichang, located in the north of Jiangxi Province, is only 100 miles away from the important town of Jiujiang Prefecture!

This is no joke, Jiujiang Mansion is not only an important city in the north of Jiangxi, but also stuck in the throat position of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. If occupied by the Ming army, the entire waterway of the Yangtze River will be paralyzed, the Qing army in the provinces south of the Yangtze River will lose contact, and Luckdhun, who is holding on to Wuchang Province, will also lose supply support. Alone.

It's so cunning!

Jin Shengjie finally understood that this Huguang Ming army was going to sneak into Jiangxi...... Their target is actually Jiujiang! It's Luckdehun of Wuchang Mansion!

He immediately gathered troops and horses, turned around and went north, and received an urgent order from Jin Shenghuan on the way, ordering him to go to support Jiujiang Mansion immediately, while Jin Shenghuan himself left the front line in Ganzhou and personally led 20,000 troops to come along the Ganjiang River by boat. (The Ganjiang River below is the largest river in Jiangxi Province, not Ganjiang City.) ）

Rescue soldiers like fighting fire, Jin Shengjie's troops marched all the way, and rushed to the territory of Ruichang in the evening of the next day.

Scouts to explore the Malay newspaper, the Ming army camped in the southwest and north directions outside the city, forming a semi-encirclement of Ruichang, but the city still waved the green flag of the Qing army.

"As I expected!"

Jin Shengjie nodded, there are five thousand green battalion defenders in Jiujiang Mansion, and they will definitely divide their troops to defend Ruichang, no matter how powerful the Ming army is, it is impossible to break the city within two days.

Looking at the tactics of the Ming army, it is still the old trick of encircling three queyi, but it seems a bit dogmatic here. Ruichang is backed by Jiujiang Mansion, it is not an isolated city, and it is waiting for reinforcements from Nanchang Mansion, although the Ming army deliberately vacated the east gate, it will not run away easily.

Count as you go!

Since the east gate was vacant, Jin Shengjie decided to enter the city from the east gate, and his troops ran around for two whole days, which was when people were sleepy and tired, so they first entered the city to rest for one night and then fought with the Ming army.

Outside the east gate of Ruichang is the Huanjiang River (now Longkai River), there are more than a dozen small lakes and ponds by the riverside, dotted all over the place, the terrain is narrow, Jin Shengjie is old in the use of soldiers, knows the risks well, and sends several waves of scouts to check left and right, to confirm that there is no Ming army ambush before carefully advancing.

Safe.

There were no accidents along the way, and he came to Ruichang City with three thousand green battalion soldiers.

"Boom!"

Suddenly a cannon rang out in the city, and all the green flags in the city were put down and replaced with the flags of the Ming army!

Jin Shengjie was shocked, and his subordinates were all panicked, and at this moment, there was a shouting sound like a tsunami mountain behind him, and a black and oppressive spear array gushed out!

Hit the trick!

Jin Shengjie only hesitated slightly, turned around and ran with the green battalion soldiers, and rushed towards the lake and pond. There is no way forward, there is an ambush behind, and there is a river next to it to block the road, this is a dead land, only by rushing through that lake and pond, there is a glimmer of life.

On the way to escape, he was covered up by the Ming army, and he would definitely suffer heavy casualties, but he couldn't care about it, he just wanted to run as fast as possible and escape as many people as possible.

Escape!

Throwing away knives, guns and weapons, the green battalion soldiers lost their armor and unloaded their armor, and now they are comparing speed, not only with the Ming army, but also with their companions. Passing through more than a dozen lakes and ponds, the three thousand green battalion soldiers were separated into groups like sheep, but the Ming army behind them was like driving sheep, biting behind the green battalion soldiers unhurriedly, always maintaining a basic formation.

Jin Shengjie took the lead, and finally rushed through this small lake and pond, followed by only a few dozen horseback soldiers, he was trying to gather the team, and retreat while resisting, but suddenly heard a cannon sound, and a cavalry of the Ming army was killed in front!

1,600 Xiliang cavalry, like tigers entering the flock, slaughtered into the chaotic Qing army......

……

Three days later, Jin Shengjie wrapped himself in bandages and followed Jin Shenghuan's army back to Ruichang, and saw a huge gap in the city wall of the West Gate, only to understand how Ruichang was lost, but this gap was so huge, like a thunderbolt exploding, it made him stunned and puzzled.
