[Thanks to 'Lu Yifeng' 588 for the reward, there will be a third chapter in 5 minutes]

Chen Ming attacked Anqing City in a hurry, Huang Zhenggang failed to rescue Anqing, and the counterattack on Anqing was frustrated, and then he was defeated by the Anqing Fuhan Army supported by reinforcements, and had to retreat to Tongcheng. After Chen Ming had Anqing as a base, he assured that he boldly attacked southern Anhui, and planned to attack Nanjing and attack Jiangnan. The moves triggered by this series of battles are all-encompassing.

For example, the green camp in Shandong has partially changed the itinerary of Kaifeng in the south, and has gone down to Huai'an in the Qing Dynasty. And the reinforcements from Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangdong are also desperately advancing towards the south of the Yangtze River. The soldiers and horses of Jiangnan itself will not mobilize a single soldier to run to Henan.

When Chen Ming broke Jingzhou and Wuchang, the threat of the Han army was still like the floating clouds in the sky, 'in sight but not imminent'. But now the Fu Han army really came to the edge of the south of the Yangtze River, and the troops swept through southern Anhui and pointed directly at Jiangning City.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty was unlucky, and the braid-cutting case that occurred in Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Shandong after a month of fermentation became more and more intense. It's not that many people have really had their braids cut off by 'ghosts', but that an influence has penetrated into the hearts of millions of people through rumors. Just like the rumors of the pigtail cutting case, it has long changed from the initial wealth and death to 'the heavens will be, and the Manchu Qing should die'. This has dealt a great blow to the public opinion of the people in Jiangnan.

In the case of braiding in the original historical time and space, in the absence of Chen Ming and the Fu Han army, when the Manchu Qing Dynasty ruled the country, it could spread in half a year, from the south of the Yangtze River to Henan, Shandong, Jiangsu, Anhui, and Jiangxi, and the scope of the impact was staggering. And now at this time, Chen Ming and his Fu Han army, as well as the Fu Han General's Mansion behind them, who doesn't know who doesn't know? This is 'providence'. God made the Manchus unlucky.

Nowadays, the south of the Yangtze River is in turmoil, and the people's hearts are in turmoil. The gentry and landlord class were still loyal to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and as Chen Ming led his troops eastward, the governor of Liangjiang and General Jiangning repeatedly signaled the rich gentry underground to take the initiative to donate money and grain. Nowadays, there is no one in the entire Jiangnan who does not know that Chen Ming's team is guilty of donating to the gentry and landlords.

However, the salt merchants of Yangzhou and the merchants of Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Songjiang still raised six or seven million taels of silver and more than 300,000 quintals of grain and rice for the Manchu Qing Dynasty one after another. These people are really rich. For example, in the Huizhou Mansion, the Fu Han army filtered it through, and Chen Ming put the conditions very loosely, and still squeezed out a huge amount of silver comparable to the amount of gold and silver obtained by the three towns of Wuhan.

It's really Jinshan Yinhai Huizhou. If the Fu Han army swept the entire Jiangnan, how much silver would it get? It's fascinating to think about.

The 100 million taels of silver mark doesn't seem to be very difficult.

"The Qing court has millions of soldiers, can he all pile up in front of us at once? How many people are there in Liangjiang alone? ”

"The Governor of Liangjiang has jurisdiction over the second battalion of the governor, the third governor, the first admiral, and the ninth general soldier, and also has jurisdiction over the first association of Jiangning City Guard, Yangzhou, and the second battalion of Yanyu. The three governors of Jiangxi, Anhui and Jiangsu have two battalions of Fubiao each, and the governor of Jiangnan has five battalions of upgrading. A total of 80,000 people are not enough, and half of them were beaten by us and threw away their armor and ran away. "The Manchu Green Battalion reached the middle of Qianlong, and the shortage was already quite large. Of course, the empty salary at this time cannot be compared with the late Qing Dynasty, but it is not uncommon for 10,000 people to be less than two or three percent, saying that it is 70,000 or 80,000 people, and it is thank God that there can really be 60,000. As for those who can pull it out and see the battle, there will only be fewer.

"What are the flag soldiers in Jiangning City and Jingkou, we have also seen the capital in Chizhou, waste wood and snacks.

There are also the Caoyun Governor's Yamen in Huai'an, the Caoyun Governor has three battalions under the jurisdiction of Qi, Green and Caobiao, and Huai'an City Guard, Haizhou Battalion, Yancheng Water Division Battalion, East China Sea Division Battalion, as well as Caoliangwei and Caoliangwei all over Shandong, Henan, Suzhou, Hui, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Hubei and Hunan provinces. The total number of troops can be as high as 20,000. But how many can there be specific to the boundary between the two rivers? How many of these people can really fight? ”

The Caoyun Governor's Caoding combat power is not even as good as the ordinary green battalion. On the transportation artery that is related to the stability of people's livelihood, it can be covered with oil and water that can be stuck when you roll. Who's still desperate?

The Fu Han army has drawn the two provinces of Anhui and Jiangxi, and the green battalion led by Huang Zhenggang is the most capable group of people in Jiangsu, and now it has been defeated twice, retreated to Tongcheng, and contained it in Anhui, and Gao Jin and Rong Bao have stuffed the remaining men and horses into the south of the Yangtze River.

On the seventh day of the first month of March, Chen Ming conquered Taiping Mansion and occupied Jiangning Town the next day. On the ninth day of March, Chen Ming's troops arrived outside the garrison outside the Jubaomen Gate in Jiangning. The surrounding Qing troops were like rats that had been stepped on by their tails, and they frantically pounced on Jiang Ning. Chen Ming has already destroyed a Mancheng in Jingzhou, not mentioning the special historical and political significance of Jiangning, let's just say that the Mancheng in the southeast of Jiangning City will be defeated by Chen Ming again, hehe, the Qing court will really lose face.

A foreign dynasty that has lost its prestige is the most dangerous dynasty. The shaking that Jiangning City Break can cause will far exceed Jingzhou, Wuchang and Anqing, and it is difficult to imagine what subsequent impact events will be triggered throughout the country.

Outside the Jubao Gate, at the foot of Zhongshan Yuhuatai, Chen Ming did not immediately launch an offensive against Jiangning City, but sent a cavalry battalion to attack Jingkou [Zhenjiang], and then Huang Jie as the commander to attack Yangzhou with four battalions of troops. Chen Ming swept the surrounding area again, and did not rush to break Jiangning City.

Before the arrival of the Fu Han army, Gao Jin scattered a lot of silver and recruited tens of thousands of brave soldiers into the city, plus the defenders transferred from all over the place, as well as the garrison flag soldiers and the 3,000 Han troops reconvened before, the strength of Jiangning to defend the city reached 30,000. This is a very terrifying number, but with such a strong Qing army, the Gao family and Rong Bao did not dare to launch a small tentative attack on the Fu Han army outside the Jubao Gate when Chen Ming divided his troops to attack the city and conquer the north and south of the river.

They are like cowards with sharp blades, looking at the robbers who have broken into their homes in front of them and are eating and drinking unscrupulously, and they do not dare to take a step forward easily, lest they attract the attention of the robbers and let themselves suffer a catastrophe. The sharp blade in his hand did not give him any sense of security.

One part of Jiujiang, one part of Anqing, and then divided into Yangzhou and Jingkou, the remaining main battle team under Chen Ming was less than 10,000 people. Of course, the logistics force has expanded to 15,600 people, and the army has swept Hubei, Anhui, and Jiangxi, and more or less people from all provinces, prefectures and counties have defected to the Fu Han army, but the combat strength of these people is very worrying, and in Chen Ming's eyes, they are just material for labor. With an army of less than 10,000 people under his command, he couldn't surround the huge city of Nanjing, and Chen Ming didn't need to completely surround Jiangning City.

Outside the Jubao Gate, at the foot of Zhongshan Mountain, this is the main village of the Fu Han Army. Yifeng Gate, Guanyin Gate in the north of the city, as well as Yanziji, three sub-villages set up by the Fu Han Army, among which Yanzi Rock is located on the riverside, and it is the gathering place of the surface ships of the Fu Han Army.

The eyes of the whole country are focused on Jiangning, and the war in Henan seems to have stopped a little. The one on the dragon chair in Beijing City was no longer angry at Mingrui's death, but held back his anger and let Yunnan negotiate peace with Burma. It's not that the Manchus are wilting, but that there is a fire in the rear of Burma, they have beaten most of Siam before, and now the resistance of Siam is getting heavier and heavier, and Burma has no heart to win a battle with the Manchus five and six.

Emperor Qianlong personally came to Mingrui Mansion to drink wine, and he was very fruitful. The Qing-Burma War was over. The execution of the former counselor Minister Eledeng Ling Chi became the only special opportunity in the Qianlong Dynasty to be the only official above the second rank of Ling Chi, and Qianlong wanted to kill his entire family at the beginning. However, in view of the special circumstances of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, this article was waived. This guy is a counsellor. Teasing mistakes, breaking up and perverse, losing the opportunity, and being willing to lead thieves are no different from rebellion. The Minister of Military Aircraft in Beijing and the Criminal Department concluded that his father was imprisoned for life, and his uncles, brothers and nephews were sent to Ili to be enslaved by the Erut soldiers. Tan Wuge, the former governor of Yunnan, was beheaded, and his relatives were all filled. It can be regarded as a very unsatisfactory end to this Qing-Burma war.

It's just that Qianlong really can't take care of Myanmar. Jiangnan is going to be ruined, and the money bags of the Qing Dynasty are going to be gone.

The time has entered March, the horse team from Jilin and Heilongjiang to the south has arrived in Kaifeng Prefecture, and the horse team that is fighting the Mongolian south has also entered Henan Province, and the pressure on the north and east of the Fu Han army has increased sharply. At this time, Chen Ming's troops entered Jiangning, and the news of the sweep of Jiangnan was transmitted to the general's mansion, Chen Hui hurriedly ordered someone to announce the place, and the newspapers also interpreted this change one after another. In a general sentence, that is, the Manchu money bags are about to run out, their grain bags are finished, there is no money and grain, and the Manchu court is about to be finished.

These words also fooled the common people, but it was really a shot in the arm for the Fu Han army that was under pressure sharply.

In addition, although the southward movement of the horse team greatly increased the combat effectiveness of the Qing army, it also made the burden of the Qing army heavier. Now that March is not yet halfway through, the food supply of the Qing army on the front line in Henan can still be guaranteed, but as the time enters April, Anhui and Henan are short of grain and rice, and the Qing army is smiling.

There are tens of millions of people in northern Anhui and eastern Henan. Being oppressed and exploited by the government and the Qing soldiers, it is really hard to imagine how they will survive the difficult April.

In the mixed yuan sect with its headquarters in Luyi, a newly formed militia group has been established at the junction of Guyang Town and Henan and Anhui.

Its leader, Yang Ji. He is a famous doctor in Luyi, and he is a wise doctor in the entire Chenzhou Mansion, who is kind and generous. In the past few decades, he has traveled all over eastern Henan and northern Anhui, and his reputation is very good and very high. Therefore, in less than half a month, the number of people in this militia city surged to thousands of people. Many of them are men from northern Anhui. The deputy is Fan Mingde, who is also a well-known local Langzhong.

At the same time, the militia that erected the pole also included Liu Song, Liu Song was ostensibly a large landlord in Luyi, just like Zheng Zhilun in Yuzhou, and Liu Song also used this to cover his identity. As a large squire, Liu Song recruited people to establish a militia group, which was more logical. And the number soon reached five hundred.

When the eyes of the whole world were on Jiangning, the eyes of Liu Song, Yang Ji, and Fan Mingde were also staring at Jiangnan. When the Fu Han army broke Anqing, they felt that the Fu Han army could enter the south of the Yangtze River, who knew that this scene would come so quickly.

How long? It's only half a month. Chen Ming led the Fu Han army into Jiangnan, but it seemed that the government in the Jiangnan region did not have any extra troops to resist their siege in the short term. Now the Chen family has made a lot of money!

"The General's Mansion wants us to cut off our braids when we get into trouble, and wants us to publicize and publicize braiding when we call on the congregation, and spread more rumors about braiding before and after the uprising." Liu Song's voice was a little heavy, and what he was holding in his hand was a letter from Liu Zhixie. "As long as we do this, the General's Mansion will support us with 200 sets of iron armor and 1,000 knives and guns." Liu Song could remember clearly before that Chen Hui swore to himself about the armor, and they couldn't do anything, so they only gave 100,000 taels of silver, half of which they couldn't get until they officially started the incident.

"I said how could this braided thing spread so widely and so quickly, it turned out that they were in it." Yang Ji and Fan Mingde suddenly realized. (To be continued.) )
