Marching into Jiangxi, in Chen Wen's view, from a military point of view, this is clearly a good plan that cannot be better, occupy Jiangxi, train sailors in Poyang Lake, enter the Yangtze River, and go all the way down to Nanjing. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info Then, using the financial endowment of the south of the Yangtze River to vigorously expand the army and connect the upper and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, even if it is just a few years of Manchu Qing Dynasty, it is absolutely unbearable.

Strategy, tactics, Chen Wen felt that he explained everything he could say clearly in the letter, but why did the final result still be like this?

Although these people have their own aspirations, but after thinking about it, Chen Wen can't figure it out, or there is no way to bring it into Li Dingguo's thoughts and situation. But if he knew that the reason for all this was still very related to Sun Kewang, who sent someone to give him a marquis hat a few months ago, it is estimated that Chen Wen would have the heart to eat this infighting dog raw without vinegar or soy sauce.

In any case, Li Dingguo has already determined that he will not come, and Zheng Chenggong's side is estimated to have no time to care about it now, even if he has a strong heart, he will attack Wenzhou at most, and it will not help much in the overall battle situation.

As for Zhang Zisheng, after several letters exchanges, Chen Wen felt that this military general was likely to be a kind person like Yu Guowang, even if he was not as good as him, he would not be an infighting dog, and he should be an ally who could be wooed. It's just that this ally is too weak, and the duel between Tyrannosaurus Rex-level players like Chen Wen and Hong Chengchou, the cats can only cheer in their hearts, even if they just stand on the sidelines, it will be too dangerous.

There are no reinforcements outside, this can already be determined, but just after a lot of killing, it is estimated that no one inside will dare to jump out and make trouble. It's just that the opponent this time is no longer Chen Jin, who destroyed the anti-Qing movement in Zhejiang, but Hong Chengchou, who finally ended the Yongli court, but it still makes Chen Wen feel the pressure increased dramatically.

According to the intelligence officer who managed to rush back to Jinhua ahead of schedule through Zhang Zisheng's channels, the banners of the Qing army that appeared between Nanchang and Guangxin Mansion were Jingbiaozuozhen, Henan Fubiao, and Hong Chengchou's guards.

Jingbiaozuo Town is said to be the admiral's surname is Li, the northern accent of the full camp, because the incubation time is too short, he has not yet set up any intelligence network, so he can only collect so much for a while, but once you think of the identity of the admiral, at least there must be 3,000 people in his hands. Henan Fubiao is not mentioned, as the name suggests, Chen Wen's memory seems to be that the Fubiao camp is generally an establishment of 2,000 people. And Hong Chengchou's guards, which are said to have more than 1,000 people, are divided into two battalions and led by two Ouchi guards.

In addition, judging from the previous intelligence, there should be Jiangxi Tibiao, Jiujiang Green Camp and Huizhou Green Camp participating in the attack this time. If nothing else, Wang Zhigang of Fujian will also be involved. Within two days, Chen Wen also received a report from the intelligence officers sent to northern Fujian, saying that the banners of Fujian and the general military standard battalion on the right road appeared in the area of Xianxia Pass.

The 5,000-strong army in Jiangxi, the 5,000-strong Jiujiang Green Battalion, and the 3,000-strong troops in the other departments showed that Chen Wen had based on the reports of anti-Qing people from all walks of life in recent years and the intelligence he had sent people to collect. If you count some local green battalions in Guangxin Mansion and Jianning Mansion, the Qing army that will gather in Quzhou will not be less than 30,000 soldiers, and as for the auxiliary soldiers, it cannot be counted.

However, Chen Wen only had seven war battalions and 14,000 troops in his hands, and the rest were garrisons stationed in various places. Even among these seven battalions, the Pujiang battalion is on the side of the fortress in Anhua Town, the Dongyang battalion is in Jinhua Fucheng, the Lishui battalion is in the capital city of Chuzhou, and the Yiwu battalion is in Quzhou Fucheng.

Moreover, since Hong Chengchou is presiding over the suppression plan as a strategyman, and he is in a hurry to mobilize the army at this moment, it is obvious that there will not be only these 30,000 troops. With the increase of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty and the disappearance of the Dinghai General Battalion, the Qing army in the direction of Hangzhou will definitely increase, and it is obviously not idle on the side of the state, even if the Qing army only contains one or two thousand Ming troops there, it is a business that only makes money and does not lose money for the main battlefield.

In this regard, Chen Wen had to order the counties to strengthen the city defenses, and as for those counties that did not even have city walls, he had to order reinforcements such as Jinhua, Quzhou, Chuzhou, and those counties with city walls in the vicinity under appropriate circumstances, so as to better hold back the Qing army in that direction.

It is the state capital, which will not be the focus of the contention between the two armies of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and Chen Wen has been handed over to Wu Dengke for full disposal. In the Jinqu Basin, the occupied area of the Ming army, from the two fortresses of Anhua Town-Hulu Town on the northern line to Quzhou Mansion, Chen Wen decided to lead the army to respond in the center of Jinhua Mansion, ready to take advantage of the advantage of internal operations to defeat all the way. In this way, another crucial point is that Li Ruixin is the only one in charge of Quzhou, which has less than two barracks and a garrison of 800 people.

Quzhou is a strong city defense, and later generations are also known as Quzhou, but the defense is not only military defense, other aspects are also extremely important, Quzhou is a capital city, but the population in the city has more than 100,000 people, by no means like the fortress of Anhua Town that is purely for the garrison can be compared. It's just that at the moment, Chen Wen has no choice to assist Li Ruixin in organizing the defense of Quzhou.

"Furen, I'd better go."

Sun Yu, he has always been Chen Wen's staunchest political ally and friend, and Chen Wen's previous expeditions were also personally responsible for the collection and transfer of logistics supplies, and he never let Chen Wen worry about these things. And Chen Wen never thought that he would assist Li Ruixin in guarding Quzhou, not only because of the positioning of Sun Yu's authority, but also because it was far more dangerous than Jinhua.

"This matter must not be done, if you leave Jinhua, what will happen to the supply of the army?"

Hearing this, Sun Yu smiled, and then said: "There has long been a rule for logistics supplies, and the yamen of each prefecture and county are responsible for collecting it, and then handing it over to the Quartermaster Department to cooperate and supervise the transfer. With me and without me, it's all like this, one more me, one less me, what's the problem? ”

Chen Wen is not ignorant of these things, and things in the system are indeed like this, but Sun Yu has always been in charge of the back road, and Sun Yu is the only friend of Chen Wen who can be regarded as a confidant in the past few years, except for the secrets of the traverser, Chen Wen is willing to talk to him about many things. If he went to Quzhou this time and faced Hong Chengchou, Chen Wen always felt uneasy.

Perhaps, in the eyes of those rotten women in later generations, this is the kind of relationship between men and men. But for Chen Wen, suddenly coming to this strange era, everything that had been completely severed, and the huge pressure on his shoulders all made him yearn for an emotion from the bottom of his heart to maintain his pity for this era, and not to become a murderous monster.

The friendship between him and Sun Yu has been many years, the tacit understanding in official affairs and the firm political position, coupled with the relationship at the foot of Dalan Mountain, the status of the Sun family in Chen Wen's heart is far better than others. And he also knew that for the Sun family, he was not.

It's just that after many years of interaction, Sun Yu can understand Chen Wen's thoughts to some extent. "Furen, it is no longer Chen Jin who is presiding over the plan this time, Hong Cheng Chengchou has a poor character, but his ability is something that has only been seen in the past ten years. As you said, we are now alone, and we can only rely on ourselves. And Quzhou just went through the destruction of Chen Jin's house last year, and the people's livelihood has not fully recovered, and the confidence of the businessmen in my Zhejiang Wang Shi is far less than that of Jinhua.
