At the beginning of the night, people have fallen asleep. In the silence and peace, a large number of people gathered at the mouth of the Madao shore had boarded the boats and slowly sailed away from the dock. The river washes over the embankment, the sound of the water waves is so clear, the riverside is silent, as if the crowd like the long dragon just now is illusory.

The silvery moonlight sprinkled on the ground, and there was the low chirping of insects everywhere.

The army had already set out, and Chen Ming on the shore looked at the long dragon connected by a bright light in Jiang's heart, and clenched his fists tightly. A surprise attack on Anqing City was much more dangerous than a sneak attack on Jiujiang City, and he was less than fifty percent sure that the troops would take Anqing.

The defenders of Anqing are not very good, Feng Xuan's troops are weak and tight, but there are as many as sixteen forts in Anqing City, even if some cannons were dragged to Henan by Chen Huizu early, the remaining firepower is much stronger than Jiujiang. In addition, Anqing City is also equipped with six gunpowder pharmacies and sixteen nest shops, as well as more than 200 military rooms in the city wall, and Feng Zhan has recently built many gun muzzles around the battlement wall of the city, and the defense of Anqing City is very high.

Chen Ming took Gao Pingshan as the commander-in-chief of the eastward troops, Huang Jie did not fight well on the shore of Poyang Lake before, Chen Yongsheng dragged him in Wuhan again, and several times the battalion officers at hand, Gao Pingshan had the highest trust value and worthiness to cultivate. Although this guy made a mistake in the sweeping part of the Battle of Jingzhou, when the Fu Han army attacked the Arya River, he shrank a little when he pursued, so that Arya River himself escaped and was given a bad review by Chen Ming in the small notebook. But now that Chen Yongsheng is not there, Huang Jie has to dry it again, and Gao Pingshan is Liao Hua as a pioneer. In this raid on Anqing City, Chen Ming mobilized five armoured battalions and a musket battalion, with artillery and transport troops, with a total strength of nearly 4,000. After deducting the team in Chen Yongsheng's hands, these six battalion heads plus artillery teams already accounted for one-third of Chen Ming's strength.

The transfer of these troops will definitely have an impact on the situation in Jiujiang. With this team, Chen Ming dared to say that the Qing soldiers and civilians in Jiujiang were completely annihilated. And now, he can only be like Hukou Peng Ze, and defeat the Qing soldiers.

Back at his residence, Chen Ming didn't feel sleepy at all. He got up and walked to the 'Great Qing Land Map' hanging on the wall, which he had seized in Wuchang. The red arrow represents the Fu Han army, and the black arrow represents the Qing army. The black arrows represent a group of Qing soldiers, from the three eastern provinces, Mongolia, Northwest, Zhili, Shandong and other provinces, like sharp arrows, piercing the Fuhan General's Mansion located in the Central Plains relying on the Dabie Mountain.

At the same time, in the south, Liangguang and Fujian and Zhejiang both had troops to the north, and Sichuan also divided its troops into Hubei.

In the paradise land south of the Yangtze River, the news from the dark camp all revealed that the data of Ding Zhuang Minyong convened by the local government had been soaring, except for the outer sea division battalions in Fujian and Zhejiang, which were also gathering in Songhu.

Don't look at Chen Ming's first breakthrough in Jingzhou and then in Wuchang, and now he is capturing the mouth of the lake and attacking Jiujiang, and his arrogance is unstoppable. Judging from the situation in the whole country, the form of the Fu Han army is still very bad.

Chen Ming remembered that the second rebellion of the Great and Small Jinchuan was not until the thirty-sixth year of Qianlong, and he never sent anyone to contact the Great and Small Jinchuan, and he did not know if his appearance would make the Great and Small Jinchuan break out earlier. The pressure on the General's Mansion is really heavy.

The green battalion in Gansu will be able to reach Henan, Mongolia and the northeast in March at the latest, and the horse teams going south from the northeast will enter Zhangjiakou and Cangzhou.

Looking at the Qing soldiers who were shot like arrows, Chen Ming was really worried that Chen Hui had messed up Ruzhou and Nanyang. Fortunately, now Hubei has been stirred up by him, and together with the Hunan Green Camp, the vitality is greatly damaged, and the Green Camp in Sichuan has also chased all the way to Wuchang, and he can't take care of Nanyang.

Chen Yongsheng couldn't stay in Wuchang for a few days, and when Chen Ming completely took Jiujiang Mansion, the upstream team should also go down the river. At that time, whether Anqing City could succeed had already been decided.

Of course, Chen Ming hoped that Gao Pingshan could take Anqing City, in that case, he would properly attack Jiangnan. But if Gao Pingshan attacked Anqing City in a hurry, Chen Ming would have to guard at the mouth of Jiujiang Lake and grind with the Qing soldiers for a while.

The whole country is a big game of chess, the fog of war is shrouded, and the real master may be able to be confident in danger, pointing out the country and scolding Fang Xuan. But Chen Ming's chess skills are very poor, not to mention that one step is ten moves, he can't do it even if he takes one step and sees three steps, at most he takes one step and sees one step.

He fought Huguang and Jiangnan, not because of his clever strategic vision, but because of the insights of the later traversers - Jiangnan was the money bag of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Manchu Dynasty's fortune. Conquering Jiangnan and disrupting Jiangnan was the heaviest blow to the Manchu government.

Judging from the current situation, the Fu Han army advanced into the south of the Yangtze River, and the future is uncertain, but it definitely has the strength to fight.

……

Just when Chen Ming was sitting in front of the map in the middle of the night and pondering, the distant battlefield of Henan, the Tiehulu Hutong in the east of Chenzhou Mansion.

Chen Youhe was smoking a cigarette stick, a long cigarette stick with a silver jade mouth, and a silk bag under the smoke pot that was extinguished. Chen Youhe took a deep breath, and the smoke from his mouth enveloped his entire face. Just as the impact of the war has enveloped the entire Chenzhou Mansion, this rich place has become a base for the Qing army to attack the general's mansion in the east because of its proximity to Yuncheng and Xuzhou. Therefore, the collection of money and food, the collection of people and goods, the entire livelihood of the people of Chenzhou Mansion is uneasy.

Chen Youhe's family is the big proprietor of Chen Yihe's firm, and the catastrophe when the Fu Han army captured Zhoujiakou was passed through safely and steadily because of the relationship between Chen Yihe and the shopkeeper of SF Express's firm, Lu. In the next few transactions, Chen Yihe made a lot of profits.

But with the harsh environment and more and more donations, Chen Youhe is already considering whether to close the business. As a time-honored merchant in Chenzhou Mansion, Chen Yihe will not close his doors for a day, and whether the government is raising donations or not, he will not forget his Chen family.

Chen Yihe is a century-old brand, and Chen Youhe is reluctant to use this brand. But compared with the gains and losses of the entire Chen family, the business name that has made little profit now is not so important. At most, after the war, he set up the business again.

Although at that time, Chen Yihe and the shopkeepers and men of the various branches may not be able to come back. After all, the semicolon shopkeeper and his buddies are not the Chen family with a rich family, and the more chaotic the war and the soaring food prices, the less likely they are to be idle. Besides, who's to say how long it will take for this commotion to subside? At that time, Chen Yihe will not be the current Chen Yihe.

The big guys are 'brave and loyal' to the court, and when they really talk about their hearts, they all feel that the Qing Dynasty can't be down.

But the people of Lushan are making too much trouble, and that Chen Ming has already entered Jiangnan. Breaking Jingzhou, tens of thousands of Eight Banners were wantonly ravaged, that was Eight Banners. The nation is born with an iron crop.

Then he broke Wuchang again, and the governor of Huguang was forced to death by him. Dingchang's death is too unfortunate, no matter how you look at his death, it makes people feel that it is inseparable from the approaching Fu Han army. And a feudal official like the governor of Huguang is too far away and unattainable for ordinary merchants and landlords. This also made them more in awe of the General's Mansion in their hearts.

If last year's Fuhan General's Mansion was only imprinted in the hearts of the common people and gentry and businessmen, even if they took Nanyang Mansion, it would not mean anything. Then the current Fu Han General's Mansion is a monument in the hearts of the common people and gentry and merchants. In the face of the majestic mountain-like body of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, a monument seems very small, but for the common people and gentry and merchants, a monument-like general's mansion has made them awe-inspiring.

Chen Youhe has a good relationship with SF Firm. He wants to close Chen Yihe's firm, not only considering the government, which will cry poor in front of the prefect in the future, but also taking into account the feelings of SF Firm.

The two sides deal with each other in different ways, but Chen Youhe's 'heart' is the same, they must serve well, and they must not be offended.

Just like those medicinal herb merchants in Fang Tinglan in Yuzhou, they didn't dare to offend He Xuan's order openly, but they could contact the sitting tiger in Yuzhou to collect the Yuan Sect and let the Yuan Sect go to the top of the pot.

Chen Youhe's current 'heart' is similar to Fang Tinglan.

Chen Youhe stayed awake all night, and the thought that lingered in his heart determined the fate and future of the Chen family......

……

Arigon had no trouble sleeping that night. As the minister of military aircraft who came to Henan to supervise the war, and the representative of Emperor Qianlong, Aligon's mission and power in his hands are far better than He Xuan, Wu Dashan, etc.

The third-grade general, the second-rank deputy general, the fourth-grade prefect, and the third-grade Daotai, he said that he could be killed. The sheer size of this power is simply astonishing.

And with great power comes great responsibility. The power in Aligon's hands allowed him to go straight to the pinnacle of his life, and the responsibility he shouldered made him risk ruined and dead.

- He wants to suppress the General's Mansion and pacify Henan as soon as possible. But how easy is that?

The current Aligon is not the Aligon who came out of Beijing, and during his time in Zhengzhou, Arigon has clearly realized how difficult the Fu Han army and the general's palace are.

They built fortifications on the outer perimeter of their own territory to guard traffic points or terrain points.

It is simply impossible for the Qing army to drive straight into the heart of the thieves, and the Qing army from all walks of life can only gnaw hard at one fortress and one position. Look at the people from all walks of life on the battlefield in Henan now, which one has not knocked out two teeth by the tough defense of the rebels?

What kept Aligon awake tonight was Wu Dashan's military report. The Shaanxi Green Battalion finally gnawed down on Pengpo Town, but repeated the previous mistakes in the process of attacking Linru. Attack after attack, failure after failure, soldiers' morale is low, and military discipline is even more corrupt.

Today's military report is not the first failure of the Shaanxi Green Battalion's attack on Linru, this is the third formation.

The brave name of Shaanxi Green Camp is to be lost in Henan.

As far as Aligon knows, the two thieves who defeated the Shaanxi Green Camp again and again in Pengpo Town: Yang Ping and Feng Shaohua, are just two early mountain bandit leaders in Ruzhou, which really makes people laugh off their big teeth. The leaders of the two mountain bandits made the elite officers and soldiers of Shaanxi at a loss, ridiculous, ridiculous!

Now the garrison of Peng Po Town has retreated to Linru, which has more troops and stronger garrisons. The news of Wu Dashan's defeat came again and again, and Ali Gon was going to despair of the Shaanxi soldiers.

"The matter of pacifying thieves is difficult, and it is ...... to be loyal to the country" (to be continued.) )
