As the sun set, the shouting and gunfire outside Gangneung City stopped. The battle, which had begun in the morning, had come to an end.

For Chen Ming, this is a perfect end. The Hunan Green Camp West Route Army was directly disabled by him, and now it has fled all the way west along the Fuzhang River. Can there be half of the rest of the 10,000 Green Camp? And how many of the remaining people can escape the pursuit of the Fu Han army?

The defenders of Gangneung, who were forced to attack twice, were also killed and wounded everywhere, and there were 2,000 corpses of the green battalion and flag soldiers alone.

Of course, the Fu Han army is also very tired.

The total strength of the Qing army was only 20,000 when it was fully fought. If it is a frontal battle, such a force is not enough to form a threefold advantage over the Fu Han army, and the chances of victory for the Fu Han army are naturally very great. And after the battle, there will not be as tired as now, this is completely determined by the position of the Han army itself, which is sandwiched between the two Qing armies, fighting on two fronts, and it is no wonder that they are not tired.

……

Inside the city of Jingzhou.

In the past, all the restaurants in the prosperous market were closed, and even if they were not closed, not a single customer could be seen. Jingzhou Mancheng, located in the east of the city, is even more deadly silent, and the people of Seoul on the west side can hear the cry from the east.

I heard that the 2,000 banner soldiers who went out to fight today broke three or four hundred outside, that is, three or four hundred households. If it is related to the tragic losses in the Battle of Rolling River, Chen Ming will definitely become the most hated enemy of the 20,000 or 30,000 banner people in Jingzhou.

The people of Seoul are also worried that it is difficult to imagine what their fate will be if the war disaster strikes. However, the families of the gentry who were most afraid of the Han army and the big merchants who donated silver for the great cause of suppressing bandits in the 'Qing Dynasty' were far less worried than the banner people in the city.

The Fu Han Army was a team flying the banner of opposing the Qing Dynasty and the Fu Han Army, and they were inherently in opposition to the banner people. If Jiangling is lost, will the Fu Han army, which dominates the families of the 20,000 or 30,000 bannermen in the city, raise their noble hands and let them go? That's!

The whole city of Gangneung was dead silent, as if the city was wrapped in sorrow ......, no, the whole city was immersed in a sea of sorrow.

But that's only the most superficial phenomenon, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are grievances. In Jiangling City, a city controlled by the banner people, there are not too many Han people who secretly hate and hate the banner people of Jingzhou.

Yes, banner people cannot work and do business. According to the rules established by the Manchu Qing Dynasty when the country was founded, the banner people were soldiers and officials, and they were Han Chinese. But which of the banner people with a foundation lives on their income?

They themselves can't do business, but their subordinates can do business. The city of Beijing is full of Eight Banners magnates participating in shares or buying them in the background, and those who come forward are their servants, who have signed the documents of sale, or have nothing to do with it on the surface, but who of the Han people who hold the money of the Eight Banners magnates dares to really defile the money of these masters?

Gangneung City is not as good as Sijiu City, but the market is the same. The nobles of the banners here are not as noble as the eight banners of the Jingshi, and the nobles only have that identity, not a greedy appetite.

Therefore, the Manchu and Han contradictions in Jiangling City have always existed, and if it were not for Chen Ming's crossing, this situation would have continued until after the fall of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. With the changes of the times, the boundary wall that ran through the north and south of Jiangling City was demolished, and the Manchu and Han gradually merged. In the end, the general trend is that the Manchu people have even sinicized their surnames.

Therefore, in Seoul, west of Gangneung Fortress, there are people who hate the Manchurians, both rich and poor. It is really because the rich will be robbed of business by the banner people, the poor will be bullied and oppressed by the banner people at will, and the middle-class families who are neither rich nor poor will also be extorted by those idle flag people.

The Manchu Eight Banner soldiers all had a fixed number, but it was impossible for each banner family to keep only one man at all times. It has been 20 years since the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, and those banner men who could not afford to make up for the shortage of soldiers and hardcore crops could not go to business, work, or farming, so they could only be idle, rampant in the market, and extortion.

Now that the Fu Han army is coming, the soldiers and horses defending the city are beaten and crying for their mothers, and the rescue reinforcements are being killed.

With the spread of these gossip and rumors, those rumors that were deeply buried in the hearts of the Jiangling City Banner people and Han people also 'flooded with dregs', and they could not be suppressed in the hearts of an individual.

After the Fu Han army broke the city, it never burned, killed and looted, let alone humiliated women and children;

After the Han army broke the city, it would only find trouble for those wealthy merchants and corrupt officials, as well as those families [families] who were determined to serve the Manchu government;

It seems that the Han people with ordinary families do not need to worry about the destruction of the Han army at all, even if those large merchant families who pay food and silver for the government, as long as they have a good reputation, they will not incur the disaster of annihilation. This behavior of the Fu Han army distinguishes them from the thieves and rogues in the history books.

Even if the Manchus were rogues against them in every way, pouring basins of sewage on them, none of this could change the facts.

Besides, the General's Mansion also has its own secret camp. Some things can't be turned into by what the government wants to say. Just like the great heavens and dynasties of later generations, isn't it true that many people do not believe what their own government says, but take the statements made by the media or government of hostile countries abroad as the truth?

Some people may think that it is because the rabbits are unpopular. So, is the Manchu Qing Dynasty really prosperous in this era, and hundreds of millions of people support and love it? The Manchus, the Manchus, the color of foreign domination in them will never be erased.

……

As night fell, in the camp of the Fu Han army, Chen Ming received the latest report from the pursuing troops.

Zhang Rui fled west along the Fuzhang River with the remnants for a while, and was caught up by the pursuing soldiers in Libu Town, and suffered another severe blow, and the remnants of the Hunan army were completely scattered. Some fled to the north, some crossed the Fuzhang River by boat, and on the other side of the Fuzhang River, there were boats from Hunan Luying crossing the Yangtze River, which stayed by the river. There was also the surrender of the equipment, and the team captured more than a thousand prisoners on the banks of the Fuzhang River.

Chen Ming still can't figure out a definite result, but he believes that Zhang Rui lost this battle very badly. Even if you can regroup, it is not a threat if you don't collect the defeated troops in ten days and half a month. As for how their Hunan soldiers will rectify their morale, it will be a matter of time. Didn't you look at the remnants of the nest in Xinyang City, and still don't want to move the nest.

In the following time, Chen Ming had enough 'patience' to deal with Jiangling City. Because of the strength of Xiangyang and the Eastern Route Army of Hunan Green Battalion, they did not have the ability to fly to save Jiangling City in a short time. Even Chen Ming would suppress his attack power, fishing, and let the soldiers and horses of Xiangyang, Wuchang, Sichuan, and even Anhui pounce on Jingzhou as much as possible.

Even if Qianlong could see through his plans? Does this arrogant 'old man' dare not save Jingzhou?

……

Of course, don't forget the fighting in southwest Henan. Luoyang, Pengpo Town.

The camps of the Shaanxi Green Camp were one after another, filling the eyes of the defenders. At this moment, the Qing army responded to the one at the back of the camp, and the terrible screams kept washing the hearts of the night soldiers in the camp. These are the wounded soldiers who have just been sent back from the front today.

"Peng Po Town, Peng Po Town of the Hammer. I've never seen such a hard mother-in-law again......"
