[The last chapter before the fruit run, ask for a collection]

Junzhou is the Danjiangkou City of later generations. It is located in the middle and upper reaches of the Hanjiang River and the junction of Hubei and Henan provinces, bordering the important town of Xiangyang in Hubei Province in the east, Yunyang in the west, Qianlifang County in the south, Nanyang in the west of Henan Province in the north, and the famous Wudang Mountain is also located in this state.

After the construction of the Danjiangkou Dam, the thousand-year-old Gujunzhou has been submerged at the bottom of the Danjiangkou Reservoir in the 21st century. Future generations can only learn about this ancient city from old photographs and thick written materials.

However, in the autumn of the 32nd year of Qianlong, the city was still a very important place in Hubei, a hub between Xiangyang and Yunyang, and it had special significance for both Yunyang Town and Xiangyang Mansion.

You must know that the garrison of the green battalion in Yunyang Mansion is as large as one town, and such a large number of troops is undoubtedly a great burden on the local people's livelihood, and the already barren Yunyang Mansion is simply unable to supply the consumption of thousands of soldiers in the green battalion of one town, especially when there is a war, the food dispatched by the army cannot be raised by Yunyang Mansion itself.

In this case, the wealthy Xiangyang Mansion became the best supply place for Yunyang Town. It's not that the money and grain of Xiangyang Mansion are directly supplied to Yunyang Town, Xiangyang itself also has a lot of garrisons, and Xiangyang Mansion alone can't afford to support nearly 10,000 horses and horses of the two together. Instead, the government issued an order from the Xiangyang Mansion Treasury to directly allocate money and grain to Yunyang, and this batch of money and grain itself was also handed over to the top by Xiangyang Prefecture, and now there is no need to dump it, and it was directly assigned to Yunyang Town by the above. Moreover, Yunyang Mansion will buy a large number of grain, rice and cloth from Xiangyang every year, regardless of whether these grain, rice and cloth are produced by Xiangyang Mansion itself, without the platform of Xiangyang, Yunyang Mansion is afraid that it will soon be chaotic.

Since the Chen Jiajun raised the army, the military rations collected in Hubei many times have affected the stability of Yunyang Mansion, and after the Chen Jiajun entered Xiangyang Mansion, the non-governmental trade between Yunyang and Xiangyang has been completely cut off, and the grain price in Yunyang Mansion is now high every day.

As the westernmost town of Xiangyang Prefecture, Junzhou, here is faintly in addition to the prosperity of trade: Yunyang Prefecture's fist products are wood and paper, followed by medicinal materials, although it can not be compared with Yuzhou, which has a long history, but Yunyang Mansion is densely forested, and there are many wild medicinal materials.

Another is that Yunyang is rich in gold and silver, Yunxian, Zhushan and along the Han River, gold and silver reserves are abundant, and there are many golden sands in the Hanjiang River basin, and the weight of the annual panning can reach hundreds of taels; There are also large reserves of high-quality turquoise, and Chen Ming even knows about the Yindonggou Silver Mine in Zhushan County, which was one of the eight major gold and silver mines in China in his previous life. It's just that at this time, Yindonggou is just a local rich man making a small fuss, and outsiders don't know that the dark camp has been staring at it for a long time.

As the westernmost point of Xiangyang Prefecture, Junzhou is a node for trade with Yunyang, and it is also a strategic reserve. In the past, a large number of money, grain and materials arrived here from Xiangyang City every month, and then transferred Yunyang from here. But all this changed after Ma Wenjie led the army east to the north. Especially after the start of the expulsion of the four provinces, Yunyang Town and Yunyang Mansion seem to have been forgotten.

Yunyang is located at the junction of Sichuan, Shaanxi, Chu and Henan provinces, surrounded by endless mountains, since ancient times it has been a serious banditry, especially in the early years of Kangxi, when the world of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was not yet stable, and the use of troops was more frequent. At that time, Junzhou was probably strengthened as a direct supply place for Yunyang Town, and Junzhou City not only set up important yamen such as the General Office, the Garrison Office, the Political Division, the Inspection Division, and the Central Division, but also set up the Guangjicang Ambassador's Office, the Junzhou Ship Administration, the Jieshan Racecourse Administration, the Ordnance Bureau, the Gunpowder Bureau, the Armory and many other departments.

It's just that now the world has been peaceful for a long time (in the mainland), the Junzhou battalion has become the Junguang battalion, and the level has long been lowered from the level of the general to the level of the capital division, and the shipyard, horse farm, and martial arts hall have been abolished for a long time, but the facilities such as the Guangji warehouse, the ordnance bureau, the gunpowder bureau, and the armory are still ......

For Chen Jiajun, the grain in the Guangcu warehouse in Junzhou was just enough, but the things (people) in the Armaments Bureau, the Gunpowder Bureau and the Armory were what Chen Ming desperately desired. So this place is something he must take.

Outside the west city of Junzhou.

The position of the Chen Jiajun was set up around a small hill that was not too high, with a fence made of logs and earth and stones below, a half-human high stone wall made of earth and stone blocks at half waist, and 100 tents stood compactly behind it. Further up is Chen Ming's command tent, the crimson flag is waving in the wind, and there are more than 20 military tents on all sides.

At the top of the mountain, the gentle slope down was raised by stones, and the six guns pointed straight at the city of Junzhou, and the swarthy barrels emitted a cold light in the sunlight. Different from the small cannons below, these six five-catty cannons can directly threaten the city wall of Junzhou.

Facing each other across the moat, the east of Junzhou city is adjacent to the Han River, the city wall is all made of 30 catties of blue bricks, the southwest and north sides are each chiseled with a zhang and five wide moats, the six city gates are equipped with wooden flood gates, and the stone threshold of 10,000 catties, the three zhang high city wall surrounds the city for eight miles, although Junzhou is not big, but the soldiers and bandits can not commit.

At this time, the thirty or forty people were lying unevenly against the earthen wall behind these cannons, lazily basking in the sun.

"Qin Tou, you said that if this thing is really loaded with iron bullets and gunpowder, can it be beaten?" A man lying on his back slammed the gun carriage in front of him with his foot and asked Qin Xiuguang.

"If you don't try it, you'll know, you can open your eyes and let our brothers open their eyes." Qin Xiuguang grinned at the subordinate and quipped: "If something happens, the army will give you a pension, and our brother will also give you a piece of money to settle down." ”

The large army of the Chen family army had quietly rushed to Yunyang at night, leaving a part of the men and horses to guard here, as if to contain the Qing soldiers in Junzhou City. Because Zhu Bangdao, the deputy general of the Yunyang Zhushan Association, personally led 2,000 people to support Junzhou, then the number of people left behind in Yunyang at this time was enough. The Chen family army outside the city laid a seemingly good defensive line outside the west city gate.

"No, I haven't gotten a daughter-in-law yet? If you want to die, you have to wait for a seed to die again. The man quickly shook his head. Although it is not the artillery of the artillery team, who does not know the power of the artillery. If you really use the guy in front of you to 'fire', there is a chance that you will go to Hades for tea. As he spoke, he stretched to make his body more comfortable.

The Governor's method is still very effective. They are only four teams of armored musketeers, with two teams of baggage soldiers, and their team is a baggage soldier, which frightened the Qing soldiers in Junzhou City.

The time had turned to the afternoon, and the Qing soldiers on the opposite side had not moved at all, and it seemed that they were frightened by the six cannons on the side. Before, these six cannons went to Junzhou City fiercely, and last night they deliberately made a noise and excitement all night, covering the signs of the transfer of large troops, and the Qing soldiers in the city were afraid that they would think that the Chen Jiajun had 'magically' transported the six cannons to the top of the high ground.

In fact, they were six wooden barrels, all covered with a layer of iron sheets inside and out. The green-skinned dog and the local militia were frightened, and it was just right that they had a good rest as a small soldier.

Seriously, from Henan to Hubei, from Xiangyang to Junzhou, this heart somehow became lazy......
