The army went south, and cooperated with Li Dingguo and Zheng Chenggong to annihilate Shang and Geng Erfan, Chen Wen did not think about it, but the current Zhejiang Ming army was powerless after being fed, and it was really more than enough to move south. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In March of this year, Sun Kewang killed Yongli Dynasty Chen, who was plotting to lure Li Dingguo into the guard, and created the prison of Mr. Eighteen. As soon as this incident came out, Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu, these three guys became a time bomb, and the infighting between the three kings as in history may break out at any time, which is inevitable.

In this way, there are two fewer allies at once, Zheng Chenggong's side is not very reliable, plus the Manchu reinforcements must already be on the way, and now if the threat is not lifted as soon as possible, with the current strength of the Ming army in Zhejiang, it is impossible to continue to defend the territory by dispersing it to such a large area to deal with strong enemies from all sides. Coupled with the presence of those potential opponents, once the occupied areas begin to be lost, the next chain reaction will be difficult for Chen Wen to bear.

Being excessively trapped in the battlefields of Guangdong and Fujian was by no means in line with the fundamental interests of the Ming army in Zhejiang. In this case, rebellion has become the most practical method. As for these two butchers whose hands were stained with the blood of the Han Chinese, there will be ways to toss them in the future.

There is a saying that if you are poor, you will put aside the controversy, and if you are good, you will be good since ancient times!

Now, Geng Jimao, who was forced to be helpless, has been intimidated by Chen Wen, and the threat from the Fujian direction is about to be lifted. Although the rest of Shang Kexi was fighting alone, and facing Li Dingguo's troops, he was still sitting and watching the change in the direction of the wind, holding the currency and watching.

Chen Wen didn't have that time to continue to consume with him, and after a long time, it seemed that the Zhejiang Ming army was weak and powerless, and even Geng Jimao would have a different kind of mind at that time - in the jungle, the weak will always be the meal of other hunters!

With the help of the victory and rebellion, the Ming army in Zhejiang completed the initial rule of the new occupation, although no explicit order was issued, but the people in central and northern Jiangxi still spontaneously cut off their braids and began to tie their hair, restoring the customs before the Qing army invaded this land.

The recruitment work continued, but as the garrisons that had arrived earlier had been stationed in various counties, some of the war battalions were freed from them, except for the provincial capital Nanchang, Jiujiang, which guarded the gateway to Poyang Lake, Yuanzhou Mansion in the west, Guangxin and Jianchang Prefectures bordering Fujian, and Raozhou Prefectures bordering Huizhou and Chizhou, Chen Wen drew out the three battalions of Nantang, Shentang and the Guards, as well as half of the Iron Cavalry Battalion and the guards of the Xiuguo Mansion.

These troops will travel up the Gan River, passing through Ji'an Province and heading straight to Southern Gan. And the chicken he used to police the monkey in his mouth was the strong city of Nangan!

The so-called Southern Jiangxi refers to the southernmost Ganzhou Mansion and Nan'an Mansion in Jiangxi, collectively known as Southern Jiangxi. However, the jurisdiction of the governor of Southern Jiangxi was not limited to Ganzhou and Nan'an, Shaozhou and Nanxiong in Guangdong, Chenzhou in Huguang, and Tingzhou in Fujian, all of which were under the jurisdiction of the governor of Southern Jiangxi.

Historically, Nanjiang was a battleground for soldiers. When the Qing army went south, the scholar Yang Tinglin and the supervisor Wan Yuan Ji guarded the southern Jiangxi, which was broken by the Qing army, and since then it has fallen into the hands of the Manchu Qing.

In the second year of Yongli, Jin Shengheng, the governor of Jiangxi, went south, and the Qing army was unfavorable in the field, and retreated to Ganzhou Jiancheng. At that time, Nan'an and Nanxiong, which were close to the left of Ganzhou, successively surrendered to Jin Shengheng, but Liu Wuyuan, the governor of Nangan at the time, and Hu Yousheng, the general of Nangan, held on to the death for nearly two months, and the Ming army was never able to capture. Next, the Manchu general Tan Tai led Heluohui, Liu Guangbi, Yang Jie and other generals to the south, and Jin Shengheng was forced to return to Nanchang after a long time of attack, and his assistant Wang Deren was injured. After holding on for half a year, Nanchang fell, and Jin Shengheng and Wang Deren died.

Jin Shengheng was besieged in Nanchang, which coincided with the Guangdong Governor Li Chengdong anyway, and the army carried 100 Hongyi cannons to the north to try to relieve Jin Shengheng.

Southern Jiangxi is the only way, the first sortie, the army "more than dozens of battalions, artillery fire, ring attack all night", as a result, in the early morning of the next day, the Qing army out of the city attack, Li Chengdong was unstable, caught off guard, was rushed into the camp by the Qing army, the soldiers were frightened and defeated, trampled on each other, the situation was chaotic, the loss of soldiers and equipment was a lot, and the army was forced to withdraw.

In the second time, Li Chengdong changed his method, planning to first collect the cities near Nanjiang, and then besiege Ganzhou. As a result, he didn't know that Nanchang had been captured by Tan Tai in the first month, and the main force of the Qing army went south to attack Xinfeng County, where Li Chengdong was stationed, and the Ming army was defeated, and Li Chengdong fell into the water and died while crossing the river.

Jin Shengheng and Li Chengdong successively fell into the situation of defeat and death due to the failure of the attack on Southern Jiangxi, and also achieved the prestige of Southern Jiangxi Jiancheng and Hu Yousheng, the military generals who are famous for their good defense in the green camp.

The Ming army set out from Nanchang, joined the Shentang camp that had left Fuzhou Prefecture on the way, and went south along the Ganjiang River, and soon arrived at Ji'an Mansion in the north of Ganzhou.

Last year, Daniel Zhang and Liu Guangbi captured the city of Ji'an, which was occupied by the Yunxiao Mountain anti-Qing rebel army, but the massacre had just been carried out for a day before Chen Wence hurriedly left because he rebelled against Ma Xin and Hu Laiji and recovered the second Taiwen Mansion. After Cai Shiying took over, he arranged a green battalion of 600 people to be stationed, but it was just to restore the structure, and this year he sent the deputy general of the Fubiao battalion to assist the local green battalion to attack the remnants of the anti-Qing rebel army in Yunxiao Mountain.

The vanguard of the army approached, but the civil and military and gentry of Ji'an Mansion had already gone out of the city for ten miles to greet them, claiming that they were guilty of death. Chen Wen took advantage of the situation to regain Ji'an, and the army continued to move south the next day, leaving only a few hundred garrisons to defend the city, while taking care of the grain route. Chen Wen led the army, plus the green battalion soldiers who surrendered in Ji'an and the rebels who came down from Yunxiao Mountain, went south together.

On the road, Liu Jing, the leader of the Yunxiao Mountain Anti-Qing Righteous Army, hinted that Chen Wen, Ganzhou Jiancheng, Hu Yousheng was good at guarding, and he should be careful. However, Chen Wen didn't care, he still marched like he did on weekdays, scouting the horses in all directions, and the army steadily moved south, and he didn't care too much.

There was Jin Shengheng in the front, and Li Chengdong in the back, two of them seized a province for the Manchu Qing Dynasty with their own strength, and then the Qing army generals of a province anyway were defeated under the fortified city of Ganzhou, although Liu Jing said that he came from the alliance, especially he had heard that Zhang Zisheng was mixed well with the Ming army in Zhejiang, and he also had the heart to join, but he lacked confidence in attacking Ganzhou.

There is not enough confidence here, but the Qing army in Ganzhou City is full of confidence. Although they didn't dare to face the Zhejiang Ming army, which was not even an opponent of the Jingbiao Battalion and the Eight Banners garrisoned in Hangzhou, when it came to defending the city, the fate of Jin and Li was enough to explain, and Hu Yousheng, with the full support of Yi Yonggui, rewarded the whole army with good wine and meat, and even sent people south to ask Shang Kexi for help, waiting for Chen Wen to come and repeat the mistakes of the past.

"This one surnamed Chen is a hooligan, and this king sees that their Chen family is also an unscrupulous profiteer who is used to buying and selling in Tianjin!"

Shang Kexi, who has been a traitor all his life, scolded Chen Wen for not having the spirit of fair trade at all after receiving Hu Yousheng's report for help.

After complaining, Shang Kexi had no choice but to move to the city of Guangzhou to assist Hu Yousheng in defending Ganzhou - this is no longer their own business in Southern Jiangxi, Chen Wen's intention is obvious, seven words, the drunkard's intention is not to drink. Who let Li Dingguo, the devil, have already entered Guangdong, these two guys are the Ming army, and they have carved up his territory in Guangdong, and they are justified!

As for the reinforcements, the old problem is that China has a vast territory, and the number of the Eight Banners Army, the core force of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, is pitifully small, and there are no trains, planes, and freighters.

"Lord Wang, we can't fight hard with the Ming army, no matter whether we win or lose, the old foundation of the Pingnan Mansion is gone, and the prince won't get anything."

"Mr. Jin's words are very good, and this king has this intention."

Shang Kexi's army went north, and according to calculations, if nothing else, it should arrive the next day after the Ming army approached the city of Ganzhou.

"After a day's work, with Hu Yousheng's ability, he couldn't hold on for a day, and that was when the sun came out of the west."

On August 20 of the eighth year of Yongli, the sun rose from the east as usual, and with the morning glow, the Ming army appeared under the city of Ganzhou, which had long closed its gates.

Ganzhou is located at the intersection of Zhangshui and Gongshui in the upper reaches of the Ganjiang River, surrounded by water on three sides, the city is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it can be described as a strong city in the fortified city. At the same time, the vanguard of Shang Kexi's army has also appeared in Xinfeng County, south of Ganzhou City, and it is only a day's journey from Ganzhou.

Now that the camp has been secured, it is still easy to besiege the city and send reinforcements. However, the General Staff Department of the army did not favor this prudent tactic, but instigated Chen Wen to attack the city as soon as possible, and Chen Wen seemed to have this intention, and Liu Jing, who looked directly, was dumbfounded.

"The proud army will be defeated."

He didn't dare to say it, but he secretly regretted that he had to come with him to see the combat effectiveness of the Ming army this time. However, the commander is Chen Wen, and the person in charge of planning is Chen Wen's staff department of the army, and he is a new leader of the rebel army who does not dare to say much.

After the army finished the battle under the city, there was no response to the persuasion to surrender, and looking at this fortified city that ended the anti-Qing upsurge in the second year of Yongli, Chen Wen only lightly spit out a dream that was by no means a command term.

"Now, cannons are invited to speak!"

………………

On August 20 of the eighth year of Yongli, Chen Wen led 7,000 Ming troops to the city of Ganzhou, but failed to persuade them to surrender, so the Ming army launched an artillery bombardment of Ganzhou City with the mortar cannons they carried with the Hongyi cannons.

In the afternoon, the city wall was blasted out of several huge gaps, the Qing army could not repair, the Ming army of the brigade entered, the defenders had no will to fight under the shelling in this morning, in the face of the Ming army that entered the city in formation, Ganzhou soon announced that it changed hands.

The next day, as the only strange man in the world whose sun rose in the west, Shang Kexi, the king of Pingnan, fled back to Guangzhou without looking back after learning the news of Ganzhou's one-day departure, leaving only a messenger and a peace document with almost no unreasonable terms cut down and sent it to Chen Wen's army.

Shang Kexi fled back to the lair, trembling in the lair, and after capturing Ganzhou, the Ming army did not stop. After confirming Shang Kexi's withdrawal, Chen Wen hurriedly returned to Nanchang with the cavalry of the guards, while the grenadiers embarked on a boat to the Yuanzhou Mansion in western Jiangxi.

After Chen Wen left, the Ming army's Shentang, Guards and half of the Iron Cavalry Battalion were under the command of the Nantang Battalion Hou Guoyuan to continue southward, while An Youfu led the Shentang Battalion east into Ruijin County in the east of Ganzhou, and after expelling the defenders, he continued to go eastward and captured the Tingzhou capital city only a few dozen miles away from Ruijin County, becoming the first Zhejiang Ming army general to enter Fujian.

The day after An Youfu recovered Tingzhou, he had just received an order, but Zhang Zisheng, the uncle of Pingjiang, who was still unwilling to live behind, also led the Yushan battalion to attack Shaowu Mansion in Fujian from Jianchang Mansion. Wang Zhigang, the chief soldier of the left road of Fujian stationed here, saw that it was the banner of the Ming army in Zhejiang, and immediately led the army into Yanping Mansion, but was attacked by unknown armed forces in Shaxian County. It was a battle, and Wang Zhigang's department was defeated, and his people were nowhere to be found.

At the same time, Zheng Chenggong, who got the news, also took advantage of the situation to recover the three counties of Longyan, Zhangping, and Ningyang in the north of Zhangzhou Prefecture, and completely incorporated the entire territory of Zhangzhou Mansion into his palm.

Theoretically, the Zhejiang Ming Army and the Fujian Ming Army were united, although they did not reach the intention of joint operations, but the psychological pressure caused to the Fujian Qing Army was indescribable, especially the disappearance of Wang Zhigang left a huge shadow on the entire land of Fujian.

While the Manchu Fujian Wenwu Dynasty was in danger and seeking various ways out, two caravans were engaged in an ulterior bargain in an abandoned village outside Datian County, Yanping Prefecture.

These two caravans, one from the south and the other from the north, are almost the same in number, but they are both strong men with swords and swords, which are said to be caravans, but in the eyes of discerning people, they are more like a group of bandits who do business without capital.

The leader on both sides, from the south, was a rich man with dough, and judging by his demeanor, he was a first-class person who was the housekeeper of a high-ranking official and eunuch; The one who came from the north was a young man, full of shrewdness, but like the rest of the fellows, his waist was straight like a spear.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, my lord has prepared the goods that your boss wants. I don't know ......."

The young man was very dissatisfied with the butler's desire to speak, and said to him with a frown: "Check the goods first, if the goods are not right, it is useless to say anything." ”

"That's what you say, that's what you say."

The housekeeper knew that the proprietor behind the young man was not easy to mess with, and he also knew that the matter was very important, and he didn't care about wiping the sweat on his head, so he hurriedly waved his hand, and the guy behind him carried two large boxes over. After arranging, he personally took out the key and opened the box.

Inside the box, it was not gold, silver and silk, but two large living people. If it were two little ladies with soft skin and delicate skin, it would be fine, but they were two men who were tied up like twisted flowers. As soon as the box was opened, the smell of sweat and urine inside hit his face, so much so that the young man covered his mouth and nose with a frown.

"Inspection!"

As soon as the words fell, a few men walked out behind the young man, and checked them in the whining of the two boxes. After a few moments, after checking and making sure it was correct, the young man nodded to the butler. And while the housekeeper nodded his head, he also subconsciously wiped the sweat on his forehead.

The box was resealed and locked, and the young man then asked the butler to retreat from the side, and said, "Whisper, ask: Which one is stronger in the Great Qing Dynasty." Answer: Li Hefei, Kang Nanhai. Do you remember clearly? ”

The butler silently recited it twice, and although he did not understand the meaning, he still memorized it by rote. "Write it down, write it down, the villain will send someone to the country, no, send it to your owner."

"It's your business, since it has nothing to do with me, then I'll go."

With that, the young man left the village with his men and horses, and there were only two more chests than when he came.

After leaving the village, the caravan quickly divided into two groups, each carrying a box and heading in the north and south directions. The one that went north was not mentioned, but the one who went south was led by the young man himself, and it was not until the Zhangguo Mansion in the left thousand households of Yongning Weizhong stopped there.

"Captain Zhang is here, but what do you have to say?"

Zheng Chenggong's tone was not good, but Zhang Jun also knew what it was for, and even he was not happy to come over, but Chen Wen had an order, so he had to do so.

"If you return to the country, you will come here to give a gift to the prince on behalf of my family."

"Oh?"

As the two spoke, Zhang Jun's entourage also moved the box in, opened the box, and the gift was naturally presented. The smell in the box was worse than before, but Zheng Chenggong did not cover his mouth and nose like Zhang Jun, his brows were upside down, and his anger was released.

"Shi Lang!" (To be continued.) )
