With a vague understanding of history, Chen Wen caught a glimpse of some inevitable threats. The military order was issued www.biquge.info the pen, and in just a few days, the Ming army of the brigade boarded the warship and sailed in the direction pointed by the commander Jianfeng. It's just that it was in the past few days that Hong Chengchou also waited for the news he wanted to wait.

In the battle of the fork in the road, the Ming army suffered a crushing defeat due to the incompetence of the commander, but the Qing army that took advantage of the situation to seize Baoqing Mansion was not good, and the loss of troops was far greater than the Hengyang victory that only killed a prince and a first-class uncle and the cavalry they pursued.

If it were the historical Jin, or Mongol, or other barbarians, these losses would not be enough to stop them, and they would definitely do their best to continue the attack. However, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was different, there were only 40,000 or 50,000 Zhenyi men, and the army that went out this time was already the largest Eight Banners force they could mobilize, and the other Eight Banners Army had to stay in Beijing and important places such as Xi'an, Jiangning, and Hangzhou to deter the Mongolian League Banner in the north and the green battalion soldiers in the north and southeast. Although the battle of the fork in the road was indeed a victory with such a scale of losses, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was injured, but it entered a stage of stalemate with the Ming army in the southwest, and was even at a certain disadvantage.

Historically, in order to deal with the threat of the Ming army in the southwest, the Manchu Qing specially transferred Hong Chengchou to Changsha to serve as the governor of the five southwestern provinces, and this person used his keen observation of the situation and outstanding talent to finally resist the offensive of the Ming army in the southwest in the following years through the formation of a huge Changsha shogunate and the standard battalion of the economic strategy and a series of measures, and survived the Manchu Qing until the day of the internal strife of the three kings.

But now, due to the momentum of Chen Wen in the southeastern battlefield and the great threat posed by the two southeastern Ming armies, Zheng Chenggong, who had thus gained better development, the Qing court had appointed Hong Chengchou as the governor of the four southeastern provinces as early as a few months in history, and his opponents had changed from Sun Kewang to Chen Wen and Zheng Chenggong.

Since both the southwest and southeast battlefields began to be unfavorable to the Qing army last year, and the priority of the southwest was also higher than that of the southeast, Hong Chengchou, who had already sent some reinforcements to Jiangxi, naturally needed to wait until Tunqi, who was eager to make meritorious contributions, could not launch the next stage of heavy encirclement and suppression in the southeast battlefield after taking over the details and results of the next battle after taking over Yongzhou, which Li Dingguo had abandoned.

Now, the news of the battle at the fork in the road has arrived, and at the same time, Hong Chengchou has also received another news. So, he set off on the day he got the news and traveled to Guangxin Mansion day and night.

On March 25 of the seventh year of Yongli, after several days of tiring travel, Hong Chengchou, who was already 60 years old, finally arrived at the temporary departure of Guangxin Mansion last night, and early this morning, all the generals who had sent people to inform him in advance had already arrived, and he did not care about his physical fatigue, so Hong Chengchou immediately began this military discussion concerning the situation in the southeast.

In the big tent of the line, the four southeastern provinces sit on the top of the four provinces through Hong Chengchou, after beating the drum and gathering the generals, the generals have arrived, and they dare to sit down successively after bowing respectfully to Hong Chengchou.

In the big tent, in addition to Hong Chengchou, who sat at the top, the head was the governor of Jiangxi, Cai Shiying, who was a famous minister of the Shunzhi Dynasty, who served as the governor of Caoyun twice after the governor of Jiangxi left office, and held the lifeblood of the Manchu Qing Dynasty for many years, and was very trusted, and his son Cai Yurong was an important general to quell the rebellion of the three feudatories, and his family was one of the eight major families of the Han military banner.

Below Cai Shiying, the first is Li Benshen, Liu Guangbi and Yang Minggao.

Li Benshen is the nephew of Gaojie, one of the four towns in Jiangbei, Xingpingbo, after Gao Jie's death, it was this person who took charge of Gao Jie's army as a commander, and was soon awarded the title of third-class Jingniqi Hafan after the Qing Dynasty, which was equal to Liu Zeqing in the four towns of Jiangbei at that time. This time, Hong Chengchou served as the southeast economic strategy, so he asked Shunzhi for this person and his subordinates, and used him as the governor of the left town of the strategy.

Compared with Li Benshen's third-class viscount, Jiangxi Governor Liu Guangbi and Fujian Governor Yang Minggao have low titles, but these two are actually Han generals who have begun to fight for the Manchus in Liaodong, one is inlaid with a yellow flag in the Han army, and the other is inlaid with a blue flag in the Han army, and now they are also the highest military generals in a province, compared to Chen Wen who once wanted to fight with him in Siming Mountain, and other Han generals who were approved to enter the banner after a few years, are much more trustworthy to the Manchus.

Below the three commanders are Yang Jie, the chief soldier of Jiujiang in Jiangxi, Hu Maozhen, the general soldier of Huizhou in Jiangnan, Wang Zhigang, the chief soldier of the left road of Fujian, and the general soldier Ma Degong of the right road of Fujian.

Jiangxi Jiujiang Commander-in-Chief Yang Jie is the Jiangnan Jiangxi Governor Ma Guozhu in Shanxi when he served as the favorite general, his army of 5,000 troops, including 3,000 Shanxi soldiers from Xuanhua and Datong, the combat effectiveness is quite strong, his people are later one of the important generals to quell the rebellion of the three feudatories, and also defeated Zheng Jing many times; Hu Laijing, the general soldier of Huizhou in Jiangnan, was a fierce general under Gao Jie, and often thought of him as a pioneer; And the two general soldiers on the left and right sides of Fujian, Wang Zhigang was the culprit of Shao Wuzhi's slaughter and the executioner of the suppression of the Jiangxi Anti-Qing Rebellion, while Ma Degong was the rebel general who used Hongguang Tianzi as a surrender to the Qing Dynasty with Tian Xiong after Huang Degong's death.

These generals all sat at the front of the big tent, while some of the generals they brought with them, as well as landlords such as the generals of Guangxin Prefecture and a group of soldiers and horses from Henan, could only sit farther away.

However, it was not them who were closest to Hong Chengchou, nor Cai Shiying, but the two pro-soldier leaders who were in charge of commanding the pro-soldiers of Jinglue Mansion who were standing beside Hong Chengchou, one was called Zhang Dayuan, and the other was called ******.

Zhang Dayuan was born as a guard, standing on Hong Chengchou's left hand, looking quite arrogant; And although ****** was also sent by the Ouchi guards from Shunzhi to Hong Chengchou's side, his life experience is much more complicated.

In his early years, he was born in a rogue, nicknamed Huo Lu Bu, and later because he killed his brother-in-law because of gambling and threw himself into Jiang Bin's army. During the encirclement and suppression of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he often rushed to kill in the chaotic army, brave and unmatched, the Manchu Eight Banners "did not have the one who picked up its edge", until Jiang Zhi was defeated, his people surrendered to the Qing again, and the British Prince Azig loved his martial arts and bravely included it in the Xin Zhiku as a slave, and later Shunzhi was appointed as a first-class guard in front of the emperor. However, after that, the two ends of this person's rat head in the rebellion of the three feudatories once gave Shunzhi's son Kangxi a headache.

In the big tent, most of the people present were the leaders of the Han generals in the southeast of the Manchu Dynasty, but they only dared to sit down half of their butts in front of Hong Chengchou, and the lowest-ranking generals could only get on the side of the horse.

This is the rule gradually formed after the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty overwhelmed the military generals, kneeling, handing over the book or something is common, and this sitting naturally has rules. It's just that among the generals present, there are many Han army bannermen, and they all have their own ranks among the eight banners.

However, in front of Hong Chengchou, a third-class Adhahafan who only obtained the hereditary fourth generation when he was born eight years later, they did not dare to have the slightest presumptuousness, not only because of this official position of Jinglu, or the reliance of Shunzhi, but also because of the deep awe of this bloody suppression of the Liukou and the anti-Qing rebels, even when facing Huang Taiji in Jinzhou, he was not timid.

After the three-way drum, all the generals in the big tent had already arrived, Hong Chengchou glanced at it, so that everyone in the tent could feel that he was still full of sharp twilight, and then said to the generals: "This time, the old man called the gentlemen to come, in order to put down Chen Wen, who has been a rebel in Zhejiang all these years!"
