[Thank you for the book friend 'wq007_007'588 tip]

In late April, two major events occurred in China.

First of all, under the command and dispatch of Li Yongsheng, the Fu Han army in Jiujiang counterattacked by land and water, and in one fell swoop defeated the surface fleet of the Qing army that had descended from the upper reaches and the Qing army that had landed on the ground of Jiujiang, the south bank of the Yangtze River. Admiral Arya Jiang of Qinghu Guang died in Chengzi Town, and nearly 100 officers above the general level were captivated.

Of the six or seven hundred surface 'warships' of the Qing army, less than 200 fled back to Hubei, and more than 10,000 Huguanglu battalions on the south bank fled to Xingguo Prefecture.

On April 26, the Qing army was unable to support the Shahe defense line and was forced to retreat to the line of Xihua and Shangshui, and Chen Huizu moved his camp to Zhoujiakou Town. The Qing army suffered 10,000 casualties and had to abandon the Shahe joint venture, which had been operating for many days.

After two victories, the momentum of the Fu Han army was more powerful in the Central Plains and along the Yangtze River. But what even Chen Ming himself could not have imagined was that at the end of April, an even more sensational event overshadowed the two local decisive victories of the Han army.

-- The Mixed Yuan Sect picked up the Yellow River embankment in Xuzhou!

Entering the second half of April, the situation in the whole world does not lie in Jiangnan, not in Anqing, nor in the battle in Jiujiang and the battle in Yuncheng, but in Xuzhou.

The Mixed Yuan Sectarian Army came to the edge of the Yellow River, with a strong city blocking the road in front and chasing soldiers in the back, and it was already in trouble. And if the Qing army can annihilate the 50,000-strong mixed Yuan Sect army on the side of the Yellow River in one fell swoop, the morale of the officers and soldiers will inevitably be great. The Qing court will have the effect of a booster shot.

As a result, all the plans were wiped out in the surging waters.

Although the Yellow River had not yet entered the flood period at this time, the Mixed Yuan Sect had picked up the embankment of the Yellow River, and suddenly turned the north bank of the Yellow River in Xuzhou Prefecture into a swampy ocean. They themselves set up camp on the hilltop high ground on the west side of Xuzhou City early.

The horse team of the Qing army cruising on the edge of Xuzhou City directly fell into bad luck, and the large army deployed in Xiao County [southwest of Xuzhou City] took a cold shower under the surging flood, and the direct casualties of the water were not much, but the loss of weapons and baggage was great. The artillery they had painstakingly dragged here from the front, and the gunpowder without which guns were inferior to burning sticks, were all lost. It must be clear that the current proportion of the Qing army's weaponization is not less than 50 percent, and the combat effectiveness of the Qing army in Xiao County has suddenly dropped to the valley.

If it weren't for the great water, it would also block the path of the Mixed Yuan Sect Army, so that they could only 'take materials nearby' to eat the horse team that struggled in the waist-deep muddy water for a night, Liu Song and they are now waving their troops to rush towards the large army of the Qing army, and the large army of the Qing army stopped at the bottom of Xiao County would also be unlucky.

And that's not the point. The point is that the Mixed Yuan Sect does everything it takes. They dared to defy the condemnation of the world and directly opened the embankment of the Yellow River, how many lives will be miserable in this move? Chinese subconsciously talk about retribution, and the mixed yuan sect has done a great evil now. Under the heavy water, whether it is the grain to be harvested in the summer, or the houses of the people of Xuzhou -- the houses at this time are not the reinforced concrete houses of the 21st century, or even brick houses, but adobe houses and adobe houses, and most of the houses in the countryside are like this. Even some small landlords' houses are only two or three feet of green bricks at the bottom, and adobe bricks at the top. Soaked in water, the house collapsed.

The Mixed Yuan Sect is really doing a lot of evil at this moment.

"What a boldness!" Chen Ming had to give Liu Song, Yang Ji and Fan Mingde a thumbs up, and said 'admiration', these three are really powerful, Chen Ming would not dare to do such a thing of being poked in the backbone anyway.

However, the Mixed Yuan Sect's 'daring to risk the world's disapproval' suddenly opened a way for them to survive, and even caused the Qing court enough trouble.

Just when the Mixed Yuan Sect Army broke through the Yellow River with thousands of rafts and entered the north bank of the Yellow River -- the number of Shandong Green Battalions on the opposite bank was not too large, and when the Mixed Yuan Sect Army broke through the Yellow River defense line, they could not get the support of the Qing army on the other side or the Xuzhou defenders on the other bank, and they could not bear it at once.

However, the morale of the mixed yuan doctrine army was boiling and the fighting spirit was high. The Qing defenders on the other side of the Yellow River fled without a fight, allowing the Mixed Yuan Sect Army, which claimed to be 50,000 people, to escape the Jedi in one fell swoop. And the day after they set foot on the north bank of the Yellow River, it began to rain in the sky, and it was still torrential rain. This made matters worse for the Qing army in Xuzhou and Xiao County, but it was hyped up by Liu Song as 'the boundless magic of the childless old mother', and the Manchu Qing Dynasty was disgusted, and the morale of the mixed Yuan Doctrine Army was even more boiling, and it also had a great impact on the people.

Of course, when this 'influence' reached Chen Ming's ears, it was going to pass in early May.

Yang Shijin led the main force of the naval division battalion to cover the infantry of the Fu Han Army with two battalions of the Fu Han Army had arrived at Ruihong Town along Poyang Lake, where it was in the east of Nanchang City, and put on a posture of attacking Nanchang. But Wu Shaoshi, the incompetent governor of Jiangxi, was taken aback.

The sailor battalion moved south along the south of Poyang Lake, sweeping all the large and small wharves of Poyang Lake, towing away or sinking the boats. The purpose of their move south is not really to take Nanchang, but to create panic, and to be clear about the threat on the water in the short term.

This time I returned from Nanchang, and the sailor battalion was about to leave Jiangnan.

Chen Ming wants to fight Jiangyin. Because he believed that at this time, the Qing soldiers of Fujian and Zhejiang who were stationed in Jiangyin would not have too strong fighting spirit and fighting spirit. Because the relationship between Wu Bida and Duan Xiulin and the local government in Liangjiang was not very pleasant, in April, Duan Xiulin even tore his face with Su Erde, the political envoy of Jiangsu, because of a man named Chen Ziling, and directly beat the steward to Beijing.

Chen Ming felt that at this time, if he attacked Jiangyin in the overall situation, the army of Fujian and Zhejiang waterways would definitely retreat happily. Anyway, this Jiangyin is not the territory of Fujian and Zhejiang. Wu Bida and Duan Xiulin fought a lawsuit with the Liangjiang government on the one hand, and fought desperately for Liangjiang on the other hand, if this was really the case, their discipline would be too noble.

"Send the news to Jiangyin, let Chen Jigong and He Huazhang see the opportunity to act."

Chen Ming played a 'foreshadowing' for the next battle of Jiangyin in Nanjing. He Huazhang and Chen Jigong in Jiangyin City are the few people with the highest secrets in the secret camp, and the two of them are now famous, especially Chen Jigong, who can see opportunities in the crisis, and can not be greedy and modest, keep calm, and withdraw in time, and are regarded as talented and handsome by those Jiangnan businessmen who have been pitted into Wuhan and Jiangnan businessmen who have made a lot of money. Now he and He Huazhang can use the offensive of the Fu Han Army for the second time to create a greater reputation for themselves and make themselves recognized as a 'good vision' by the world. What's more, they had to retreat before the Fu Han army launched an attack, and avoided Songjiang and Suzhou and Hangzhou with their 'belongings and manpower'.

Well, after that, the activity area of the two of them was separated, and they were no longer together. One is in Songjiang and the other is in Suzhou.

……

In Jiangyin City, the market is cold and quiet, like the rain falling outside, cool, and you can't feel a trace of the prosperity of the past.

Early this morning, the sound of tinkling began in the Fuxing. Second Master Tong is also moving. This is not unusual, the Fuxing decided to move two days ago. Tong Erye could not believe in the Fujian and Zhejiang armies outside Jiangyin City, and two days ago he specially invited a familiar local gentry and wealthy businessmen to feast guests in the best restaurant in Jiangyin, Xingcheng Building. He and his cousins announced at the banquet that they were going to 'leave'.

Why? Wu Bida and Duan Xiulin are angry with Suzhou City, and there are many contradictions on both sides, and there is no way to reconcile. If the Fu Han army in Nanjing Zhenjiang came over at this time, Tong Erye and Uncle He did not believe that the land and water army of Fujian and Zhejiang would fight desperately and bloodily to protect Jiangyin City. So Second Master Tong and his cousin, both of them are leaving. They also sincerely invited the people at the banquet to avoid with them, and it was difficult to keep this Jiangyin City.

Yesterday, someone kicked out, after the water and land army of Fujian and Zhejiang had a dirty affair with Suzhou, Tong Erye and Uncle He invited the gentry in the city to donate money and food to reward the water and land army of Fujian and Zhejiang. As a result, there were few applicants, and the two were disheartened. So people believed: Second Master Tong and Uncle He really felt that Jiangyin had no hope, so they decided to leave.

As soon as this matter was exposed, the departure of Chen Jigong and He Huazhang seemed reasonable and unobtrusive. It has even won the favor of many Jiangyin locals.

Since the Fu Han army entered Nanjing, the local regimental training in Jiangyin County has been formed, with more than 2,000 people. All the people are powerful, but they are only willing to nest in Jiangyin, an acre of three-point land, and ignore the situation outside Jiangyin County. When Duan Xiulin and Wu Bida counterattacked Zhenjiang, they both invited the Jiangyin militia to act together, but they were categorically rejected by the principal of the militia group.

The Jiangyin militia only maintains the township, and the affairs outside of it have nothing to do with them. That's weird enough.

Chen Jigong stood on the second floor, looking at the street that was wet by the rain, he had lived in this property under his feet for several months, and he still had some feelings. Now that I want to leave it, I still have two reluctances in my heart.

From Jiangyin to Songjiang, a new environment, a new situation, a new journey.

Now Chen Jigong is reluctant to give up this property, or is he reluctant to accept the environment that he has adapted to a lot, or is he avoiding and fearing new challenges and new society? He couldn't even say it himself. After these months of training, the anachronistic things in Chen Jigong's head have been dispelled a lot.

This errand is really exciting, and it makes people feel like dancing on a knife. If Chen Jiyi had understood the danger and horror of the dark camp earlier, he might not have chosen to enter the dark camp last year, and now he can't retreat.

He must walk to the end of the mission as a 'child force'.

At this time, in Jiangyin City, more than one person sighed for the departure of Chen Jigong and He Huazhang. Even Wu Bida and Duan Xiulin, speaking of Chen Jigong and He Huazhanglai, also praised 'good vision'. At the beginning, Chen Jigong and He Huazhang failed to raise much money from the locals in Jiangyin, so they gave 1,000 taels of silver, and prepared dozens of fat pigs, buffaloes, hundreds of big fish, and 200 jars of good wine to the camp of the Qing soldiers on land and water. Wu Bida and Duan Xiulin appreciate the capital.

I really feel that these two are not unfounded. If the Fu Han army kills Zhenjiang with great fanfare at this time, the two of them will definitely leave. Otherwise, it will be a fight, and the team will not be able to raise the fighting spirit.

"These two are talents. Engaging in businessmen and copper smells really buried them. "Duan Xiulin has been thinking about the 'one thousand taels of silver' all the time. At that time, he had a very unpleasant quarrel with Suzhou, and Chen Jigong and He Huazhang's 'one thousand taels of silver', although the amount was not large, it was like a warm current that warmed his body and mind.

Wu Bida smiled, the 'one thousand taels of silver' sent by Chen Jigong and He Huazhang, the big head was Duan Xiulin's army, and the small head was his sailor. His own function is to drink some broth, but as the saying goes, 'send goose feathers for thousands of miles, and the courtesy is light', Wu Bida himself also appreciates it. But for Chen Jigong and He Huazhang's 'awesomeness', I only think that these two people are quite discerning, and they don't really think of them very highly.

"I'm waiting for a general, and this kind of beautiful thing is not something we can do...... "Raising an official is something that can only be done by a feudal official." (To be continued.) )
