With the large-scale counteroffensive of the Fujian army on the battlefield in Jiangxi, the various units of the Jiangxi Anti-Qing Righteous Army led by Shangshu Jie Chongxi of the Jiangxi Governor's Military Department suffered devastating blows in the previous year or so. At the beginning of this year, Zhang Zisheng, the only remaining Pingjiang Bo Zhang Zisheng among the "Four Great Heroes of Jiangxi", was forced to retreat to Dajueyan, Luxi County, Jianchang Prefecture, Jiangxi, but was soon surrounded by the encirclement and suppression of the Qing army in Fujian and Jiangxi provinces.

On May 18, the sixth year of Yongli, behind the last barrier of the old camp of Dajueyan, Zhang Zisheng, as the coach, sat on a stone and drank the gruel in the bowl, but his eyes were still looking at the dilapidated barrier.

The porridge was not far away, and the living beings brought it from the old camp with the people, and he could almost show the figure of a person, but he still drank very happily. When the Qing army entered Jiangxi, the large-scale anti-Qing movement never stopped, and a large number of scholars joined it, and the Zhusheng who was distributing porridge for the soldiers in the distance was one of them.

There was not much food in the old camp anymore, and when the living beings handed him the bowl just now, they clearly heard a cooing sound coming from the man's stomach. In fact, if it weren't for the civilian officials and non-commissioned men in the old camp who brought the people to save food and ensure that the soldiers could have something to eat, it is estimated that they would have run out of food long ago, and it would not have been possible to survive until now.

It's a really good feeling to be in the same boat. Compared with what he heard about the endless infighting in Huguang from the superintendent and the scholar below, several large-scale counteroffences finally failed because of infighting, but the Qing army got cheap pickled things much stronger. At least for now, he can devote all his energy to fending off the Qing army's attack, rather than keeping an eye on guarding against his own people.

It's just that there are no more than a few days left in such a comfortable day, and the Qing army has been besieging it for several months since the first month of the new year. Today. The few small villages that were horns of each other had all been captured by the Qing army, and only this fortress was left in the fortifications, and the equipment to defend the city had been exhausted. Once this place was captured, the old camp was completely exposed to the Qing army, and by that time, perhaps as he had heard before. Leaving no name until death is the best option, at least not to affect the families who are still in the Qing army-occupied areas.

I hope that the dogs and traitors who are fighting for the tiger under the mountain do not know the gentry and people in the old camp, I hope so. As for Zhang Zisheng, who has already accepted the title of Huangming, he can only kill as many Tartars as possible before dying in battle, maybe this can avenge the souls who died under the Qing saber in vain, and maybe he can contribute to the cause of killing these dogs and Tartars in later generations!

Just when Zhang Zisheng began to think crankily with the bowl, a general guarding the wall of the barrier hurriedly ran down and bowed down in front of Zhang Zisheng.

"Sir, the Tartars are attacking again!"

Hear the general's report. Zhang Zisheng hurriedly drank the gruel in the bowl, slammed the porcelain bowl on the ground, lifted the usual big knife, stood up, and shouted to the Ming soldiers around him: "Sons, go to the wall, kill the Tartars!" ”

"Kill the Tartars!"

As Zhang Zisheng walked towards the wooden staircase, the soldiers of the Ming army drank the remaining gruel one after another. Even the soldiers who had not yet had time to receive this lunch did not care about what might be the last meal, and walked towards the only remaining fortifications. Answering the call of the manager.

At this moment, I saw that the beings who brought the gruel also climbed the wall, and under the surprised gaze of everyone, he laboriously lifted a spare waist knife, held his hands in front of his chest, and then said: "It's also a student!" ”

In the distance, the Qing army, which could not see the edge, began to march here again. Although the road in front of the barrier guarded by the Jiangxi Ming army is narrow, it is still too much for them who are crumbling to the point of crumbling and the equipment defending the city has been exhausted, so they can only fight the Qing army in person

At this moment. Whether it is the Qing army, or the only remaining Jiangxi Ming army, no one knows, on this day in history, the Qing army that encircled and suppressed this place captured Dajueyan, and tens of thousands of people in the old camp were killed by the Qing army, and only Zhang Zisheng led more than 1,000 people to break through the siege.

Zhang Zisheng, who broke through the siege, led the rest of the troops to Xiaoyuan, the thirteen capitals, and prepared to use this as a base to continue to resist the Qing Dynasty. As a result, he was defeated by the Qing army in Fujian again, and finally half a year later he was killed by the Qing army in Shaowu, Fujian because he refused to surrender to the Qing and several civilian officials and military advisers in the camp.

At this point, the influential large-scale anti-Qing movement in Jiangxi Province was completely suppressed by the Qing army, although in the history of later generations, although there was not no rebel army to resist the Qing, but there was no "Jiangxi Four Kou" when it was still enough to shake the strength and influence of the Manchu rule in Jiangxi, and this land was completely conquered by the Manchu Qing.

………………

A few hours later, the old camp of Dajueyan unexpectedly did not turn into a sea of fire or ruins, it was still as dilapidated as before, and even the wounded and sick room continued to hear the sound of pain as before. It's just that this wail doesn't seem to come from the injury center where the injury is located, it seems that the old camp school yard is more loud and louder.

In the afternoon battle, the Qing army of the brigade came with a variety of siege equipment, but in the moment of stalemate, it was attacked by a wave of counterattack personally commanded by Zhang Zisheng, and it was directly routed for thousands of miles, and even the large array of encircling and suppressing the Qing army was also broken by the rout, and the two small villages that were previously captured by the Qing army were recovered. After winning the battle, Zhang Zisheng did not dare to fight, and hurriedly gathered the army and returned to the old camp. As for the wails on the school ground, part of it came from the wounded soldiers of the Qing army, and the other part was from the officers of the Jiangxi Green Battalion who were being interrogated and tortured.

In today's battle, Zhang Zisheng was surprised to find that the Qing army only had the banner of the Jiangxi Green Battalion, and the previous standard battalion under the command of Wang Zhigang, the general soldier of the left road in Fujian, who had continuously broken the Jiangxi Ming Army, was gone.

Historically, the anti-Qing movement in Jiangxi began since the Qing army moved south, but it was quickly suppressed by Jin Shengheng and Wang Deren, and even the leading figure in the rebel army, Jie Chongxi, was once exiled elsewhere. However, when Jin Shengheng and Wang Deren were anyway, the Jiangxi Anti-Qing Movement was in full swing again, even after being suppressed anyway, these rebels became more powerful due to the joining of the two surviving generals, and once threatened the Manchu rule in Jiangxi.

The reason why the Qing army in Jiangxi was weak in combat had a lot to do with the fact that Jin Shengheng and Wang Deren, who originally captured this place, and the Qing army that suppressed them also quickly moved south and was forced to stay in Guangdong. After all, without elite troops in charge, it is not easy to fight with those rebels whose combat effectiveness has been strengthened, and it is not easy to lose too much land in the process of being hung up and fighting, so that the rebels have a chance to regularize.

However, with the Fujian Governor Yang Minggao and the Fujian Left Road General Wang Zhigang led the headquarters to gallop to aid Jiangxi, the Jiangxi Ming Army was defeated in almost every battle in front of the elite of the two Fujian Qing Army, and in just over a year, the Jiangxi Ming Army, which was originally "camped for hundreds of miles and moved hundreds of thousands", began to collapse, and now only Zhang Zisheng is left with more than 10,000 people, and there are many old and weak women and children.

Historically, the Qing army in Jiangxi encircled and suppressed the local anti-Qing forces, and often needed the help of the Qing army in other places. The Fujian Qing Army, which assisted in the suppression of the "Four Great Heroes of Jiangxi", the Zhejiang and Fujian Qing Army, which assisted in the suppression of the Jiuxianshan Righteous Army, and the Eight Banners Army when they assisted in the suppression of the Yunxiao Mountain Righteous Army, and so on, these "foreign aids" not only effectively supported the Jiangxi Qing Army in suppressing the local anti-Qing forces, but also exposed the Jiangxi Green Battalion's own combat capability.

For the only remaining Jiangxi Ming army, whether the Fujian Qing army was present or not was of great importance. Anxiously waiting for the result, Zhang Zisheng walked around in the big tent of the Chinese army, and his military advisor Gong Jirong was already a little impatient.

"Pingjiangbo, please be calm and don't be impatient, anyway, the Tartars have temporarily withdrawn from the army, if you can't ask, send someone down the mountain to make an unannounced visit, there will always be a result."

Zhang Zisheng knew very well that what Gong Jirong said was right, but this Dajueyan cottage was close to running out of food, and he didn't want to find a way to starve himself to death on the mountain if he didn't need the Qing army to attack, so how could he "be at ease".

wanted to relieve his tension by chatting with Gong Jirong, but before he could speak, he saw that the officer in charge of interrogation had already walked towards the big tent in three steps and two steps.

sat down again, only to hear the officer say: "Tell the lord, those Tartars have recruited: last year, a marshal surnamed Chen of the Zhejiang Wang Division captured Jinhua Mansion, and last month he even entered Quzhou and defeated the local Qing army in one fell swoop. Yesterday, Wang Zhigang's dog thief had already rushed back to relieve the siege of the Tartar Governor, and now it is estimated that he is almost to Guangxin Mansion, and now only the local green camp in Jiangxi is left! ”

When Chen Wen captured Jinhua, Zhang Zisheng was busy retreating here under the advance of the Qing army, so he didn't know that such a big event had happened in Jinhua, which was separated by two prefectures, and he didn't even know about the Battle of Zhoushan. But now he is benefiting from this incident, and for a while, Zhang Zisheng sat there, as if he was stupid.

In fact, if it weren't for Zheng Chenggong's siege of Zhangzhou in history, Yang Minggao was forced to return to help but was beaten by Zheng Chenggong, and Zhang Zisheng would not have had a chance to hold out until May. And now, with Chen Wen's large-scale attack on Quzhou, encircling Chen Jin, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, in the capital of Quzhou, the new governor of Jiangxi, Cai Shiying, who had just arrived last month, directly sent the general of the left road of Fujian to Quzhou. The reason why this is so is not only that he does not know much about the details of the combat effectiveness of the Jiangxi Green Battalion when he first arrives, but also because he firmly grasps the great work of completely exterminating the "Four Great Bandits of Jiangxi" in the hands of Jiangxi's civil and military forces, and does not have to share too much profit with Fujian.

At this moment, Chen Wen's series of bloody battles in western Zhejiang not only made Zheng Chenggong's siege of Zhangzhou on the Fujian battlefield more smooth, but also affected the survival of the only remaining Ming army in Jiangxi.

After recovering from the surprise, Zhang Zisheng, who even called for the blessing of the Ming Dynasty, immediately decided to send someone to Zhejiang to contact Chen Wen to discuss the cooperation between the two armies, and at the same time took out all the remaining grain and grass in the inventory, preparing to send troops to fight a decisive battle with the encirclement and suppression of the Qing army after a few days of rest!
