Night shrouded the land, and Jing Fu, who had just taken up his new post as a student in Jiangsu, was writing a letter to his family in the capital.

Jingfu Zi Jiezi, who was born with a white flag, served in Shanxi before coming to Jiangsu to take up his new position, and his official voice ability is very good. But at this time, Jingfu had a sad face: "............ The people's affairs here are particularly difficult. …… Rumors of Chen rebellion are rampant in the city, and the gentry are talking about it, and there are those who are surprised, and there are those who are surprised, and there are many joys and few worries.

There are especially many people who are watching and laughing, and there is no one in a hundred who is worried about the country! The hearts of the people of the dynasty have been lost, and they are so bad!

…… The weather has been wet and cold for days, and it is very bitter; Fortunately, the official work is barely able to be careful, and there is no backlog recently......"

Jing Fu, who put down the pen, was still worried, he thought of the discussion he heard in the restaurant during his private visit to Weifu today, one of the two involved the war in Henan, and the people of Jiangyin were overjoyed, and they showed joy on their faces.

How can this give him peace of mind?

It has been two Jiazi since the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, and the people of Jiangyin have not yet been able to look forward to the former enemy. If the Henan bandit rebellion can be extinguished in time, it will be fine, and if the rebel bandit army grows bigger, the prestige of the imperial court in Jiangnan will plummet.

Gyeongbok looked at the moon peeking out of the clouds in the dark sky, and the cold moonlight shone on his worries.

And Chen Jigong in the bedroom is also looking at the moon, Jiangnan in late autumn is different from what he imagined, the wet and cold climate makes him very uncomfortable as a Henan person, and the wind and snow on the way to Jiangnan have all been dispelled. But Chen Jigong's heart is also full of fighting spirit, the situation in Jiangyin is very unusual, they secretly camp as the Monkey King who got into the belly of the iron fan princess, and there is a lot to do.

Because of the Jiangyin people's sense of resistance to the Qing court, because of Jiangyin's important geographical location.

Although he is not close to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, there is a Xicheng Canal passing through it. The Xicheng Canal is the canal connecting the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal (Wuxi) and the Yangtze River (Jiangyin), which was dug in the Song Dynasty. From Wuxi Gaoqiao by the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal branch, north through Qingyang, Yuecheng, South Gate, Chengjiang Town west across the Jiangyin Lock, to Huangtian Port into the Yangtze River, a total length of more than 70 miles, communication of the Yangtze River and Jiangnan Canal two arteries, convenient for Wuxi ships to enter and exit the Yangtze River, for the Suzhou, Xi waterway out of the important channel. You must know that Wuxi is one of the four major rice markets in China.

The Xicheng Canal has been known as the Cao Canal since ancient times. The boat sails out of the river from the Xicheng Canal to Guazhou, which is the main road of Cao Yun connecting the north and south of the river.

Chen Jigong knew very well what his cousin was planning, after Chen Jiajun entered Yunyang, the army would soon enter the Yangtze River along the Han River, sweep the three towns of Wuhan, and then go straight down the river.

If Chen Jiajun wants to live, he must fight out. It is necessary to involve the Qing court soldiers and horses on one side of the north and south, so that the pressure on the old nest will be sharply reduced, and it is possible to withstand the heavy attack of the Manchu army that follows.

As for the two strategic areas of the north and south, Chen Ming and even many of the upper echelons of the general's mansion coincidentally chose the south.

The latter is where the world's money and grain wealth lies, and the waterways in the south of the Yangtze River are vertical and horizontal, no more than the north of the Yangtze River is a large plain with a horse and a flat river, the Manchu court can completely mobilize horse teams from Mongolia and the northwest to move south, Chen Jiajun in the case of gunpowder can not guarantee the supply, it is difficult to believe that they can defeat the Qing army and horse team on the flat land again and again.

Of course, no one would think that Jiangnan can be swept away so easily. It's just that the two powers harm each other, and no matter how dangerous Jiangnan is, it can't be as dangerous as the team in Jiangbei. Chen Jigong's secret camp has entered Jiangnan in a big way, striving to establish a carrier pigeon receiving platform and intelligence contact point as quickly as possible.

Chen Jigong, who is similar in age to Gao Yanming, did not enter the government departments under the General's Mansion like Gao Yanming, and he was not willing to let Chen Jigong, who had a little jump in personality, let him bury himself in government affairs all day long. In comparison, the secret camp, a 'spy' hidden in the dark, can give him sensory stimulation and spiritual satisfaction.

Of course, his choice also has the influence of his father, and Chen Cong is as responsible as ever. What should be done or what not to do is clearly distinguished. Many times, his actions made Chen Hui and Chen Ming feel too 'raw', and there was no need to be so harsh.

Chen Jigong's eldest brother Chen Jiqing was recently renamed Ruyang, and Ruyang, the city of Runing, was supposed to be Runan. Chen Cong himself has always stayed in the General's Mansion, he can only be regarded as a big accountant, and one of his two sons is a county clerk and the other is a spy, both of them start from the basics, which is really a wife's rules.

Even the young Chen Jigong can clearly see his father's 'rules', Chen Hui and Chen Ming should also be glad that they have a brother and second uncle who are well-informed and interesting, as well as two nephews and cousins who are not bastard.

Chen Jigong didn't know that on the way he came to Jiangnan from western Henan, Chen Ming had already led the team from Nanyang to break Xinye and fight to Junzhou, but he firmly believed that what his cousin said would never be broken.

Chen Jiajun has long had a strategy for setting the tone of the Jiangnan raiders, and the role of the hidden camp in it is very important and important. Chen Jigong wants to organize a small-scale fleet in the next three months. When necessary, he also had to make sure that he could control the fleet to pull it to the middle of the Yangtze River.

You must know that the Qing court has a certain strength of inland water divisions on the Yangtze River. The Hanyang Association in Hubei, the Yueyang Camp in Hunan, the Hukou Camp in Jiangxi, the Wuhu Camp and the Anqing Camp in Anhui, as well as the Taihu Association and Jiangyin Camp under the command of the Jiangnan Admiral. Although it is not as large as the Yangtze River Naval Division, which was rebuilt and established on the basis of the Hunan Army Naval Division after the Taiping Rebellion, there are many people and boats, but these battalion heads are also a big trouble. If Chen Ming wants to 'cholera' Jiangnan, he can't leave the Yangtze River waterway, and he can't do without boats.

Looking at it this way, Chen Jigong's task is still very heavy. Not to mention that he also shouldered the task of transporting sulfur and saltpeter to the border of Hubei. Of course, Chen Jigong is just a pawn in this big plan, and there are other people who have the same task as him.

……

On the Lushan mines, after Chen Jiajun took control of the Ruzhou region, these mines had already been made public.

Every month, a large amount of grain is transported into the mountains, and then a large number of pieces of iron, strips of iron, and even guns and artillery armor are transported out of the mountains.

Although it is public, the guards here are still tight, even though more and more people are being sent here.

Hundreds of prisoners of war, underage children, both men and women; dumb and deaf, both men and women; and some literati who took the initiative to cut off their braids and took the initiative to enter the government affairs school opened by the Fu Han General's Mansion.

So far, there has not been a single person in the latter group, but the number of Xiucai is increasing. These talents are old and young, and some of them have even lost their hair......
