On the head of Jiangyin City, the pennant representing the banner of the Great Qing Dynasty hung its head weakly, just like the thousands of loyal people in the entire Jiangnan who had not yet woken up from the shock, hanging their heads. The Jiangnan of Layue has a little less aura, but it is also a little more quiet, bright pavilions, dark alleys, and plum fragrance. Small bridges, flowing water, people.

Chen Jigong has been in Jiangyin City for a while, and he has silver in his hand, even if he is younger and has been despised a little, but silver is the first, and the work he has to carry out has made some progress in these days. It has a small foothold in Huangtian Port.

Today is the twentieth day of La.

The boat gang under the Fuxing grain store created by Chen Jigong has long been resting.

Chen Jigong, who was very generous, took out ten taels of silver to let the kitchen have a good meal, and specially invited the two captains and a few boat bosses who were gathered by his subordinates.

In this part of Jiangnan, the boat gang is not something that can be pulled up casually. Chen Ming didn't know much about the situation in Jiangnan, Chen Jigong came to Jiangyin with a mission, and after meeting He Huazhang, he learned exactly about the local situation, and found that whether it was a car and horse shop or a boat gang, Jiangyin needed a solid foundation and contacts to operate.

What Chen Jigong lacks is precisely time.

Of course, nothing is certain, it is difficult to erect a pole to run a boat gang and a carriage and horse shop, not to mention the involvement of the official, but the stumbling of his peers in private can make Chen Jigong fall into the pit and not be able to climb out. But if he made a convoy for his own trading house, then outsiders would not talk about it.

This is like in the 21st century, a company has its own car transport team and only does its own work, which is completely different from the boss starting a logistics or express delivery business and grabbing other people's jobs.

Although Chen Jigong only opened a few stores in this Fuxing, which were spread in Wuxi, Jiangning, Zhenjiang, Yangzhou and Laochao Jiangyin. But this is a very successful pretense, there are men in Jiangyin who make boats, and as long as they give money, there will be people who will sell their lives. So in a very short period of time, Chen Jigong opened the way with silver, bought eleven ships of all sizes, and in addition to five grain stores that made appearances, sixty or seventy people followed him to eat.

……

"The second master is kind, and our men in Jiangyin are not scoundrels. You can rest assured, out of the eighth day of the first lunar month, all the people are in one place. ”

"Second master, relax your mind. Isn't it just running Wuchang, we're not afraid. ”

"Yes, don't worry, the second master, this Jiangshang style can't scare us. The Fu Han army is approaching Wuchang, and the things in Hankou will definitely be as you say. It's a great opportunity to make a fortune......"

Several shipwrecks and boat bosses looked at their own 'unjust bosses' with a new kind of eyes. I see, I see. No wonder this proprietor would hire them at a 'big price' and buy those old ships at a 'big price', it turned out that this lord had such an idea.

"Second master, we only have eleven ships here, how many things can be loaded when they are fully loaded? Hankou is a rich place, if you still have the capital, why don't you find two boat gangs to do it together......"

"Hehe, you don't have to worry about that. I have already said hello to the Dong family and the Zhou family......"

Chen Jigong, who was drinking and his face was flushed, said with a smile, his face was full of pride. This was done on purpose, and the excuse he came up with was really powerful, and it made his movements 'perfect' during this period of time. And he believed that in a few days, this 'news' would spread throughout Jiangyin, and even farther.

At that time, he Tong Litong and the second master will not be a fool and a fool, but a representative of a smart person, a smart man who sees the opportunity to go to Hankou to copy the bottom.

And Chen Jigong believes that his news will definitely attract many ships to gather in the three towns of Wuhan, as for how much the Fu Han army can catch in his hands, it depends on the ability of the metropolitan governor.

Chen Jigong's face was smug and sad after drinking a full glass, "But if Chen thief doesn't give his strength, he won't be able to reach Hankou ......" Some of Chen Ming's words that are very colloquial in the 21st century have been infected. In fact, many of these words are local Chinese dialects, but in the 18th century, when transportation and communication were inconvenient, dialects were always the same language. The most important thing is that these words make the young people represented by Chen Jigong feel very powerful.

"Haha, the second master is too worried." After hearing Chen Jigong's 'worried' words, the head of the boat sitting on the left hand smiled very proudly and happily, "You must have heard the news from the day before yesterday." The imperial court lost Jingzhou City, and tens of thousands of banner people who were born with hardcore crops to eat were held in the palm of the hand by the master. The heavens of Huguang and the earth will fall. If the officers and soldiers of the Huguang government really have a way to deal with that master, how could Jingzhou City be lost? ”

That's what I'm talking about. The imperial court even lost Jingzhou City, and the souls of those fools who dropped their bookbags outside were gone, shouting about disasters and disasters, and now Wuchang has also lost them, I am not surprised. Hankou, the Han army will definitely be able to kill the past ......"

Chen Jigong noticed the words in the words of these two people, it was the master and the Fu Han army, not the Chen thief and the rebel army. There is also contempt for Jiangnan scholars: the fools who dropped their book bags, looking at the joy and excitement expressed in the tone of the two of them, those who don't know still think that they are from the Han Army. Chen Jigong smiled happily. "Yes, yes. It will definitely hit the town of Hankow. Come, let's drink this cup full, on the eighth day of the first month, sail to the west. ”

After taking Jingzhou, the name of the Fu Han Army was really to deter Jiangnan. Everyone realized that this was a real chaos, a big mess that pierced the sky.

It is not comparable to the Miao chaos in Guizhou and Hunan regions.

……

Chen Jigong, who was drunk and dazed, slept until dark, and when he opened his eyes, the entourage beside him said: He Huazhang has been waiting in the flower hall for more than an hour.

When the two met, He Huazhang's first sentence made Chen Jigong smile: "Now, the whole Jiangyin knows that Second Master Tong is smart." "After the New Year, there will definitely be more people who want to make a fortune than Jiangyin, so I don't know how many ships will gather in the three towns of Wuhan.

……

At the same time, the Yamen of the Governor of Wuchang.

Dingchang passed out, and after receiving the news of Aryajiang's defeat, and then seeing the news of why Aryajiang was defeated, he spurted out a mouthful of old blood, and the whole person passed out.

Fan Shishou's forehead kept sweating in winter. begged God that Dingchang could hold on, otherwise the burden of Wuchang and Hubei would naturally overwhelm his Fan Shishou's shoulders. This is not a trick that people will play tricks on the pot.

Outside Jingzhou City, Chen Ming used the bannerman as a shield and directly approached the Qing army's defense line. Although many of these Jingzhou garrison Eight Banners have been in Hubei for 180 years, this does not mean that they have no connection in Beijing.

No matter how crazy Al Yajiang was, he didn't dare to be cruel to these pale hairs. The flag man is not Hermes-Epitek.

The final result was that the Qing army was defeated one after another, and the Arya River set up fifteen camps on the Yangtze River, and eleven were broken by the Han army in one day.

Fortunately, the night gave Arya Jiang a chance to breathe. In the dark of night, he led the remnants of the 5,000 soldiers, who were already insufficient, to flee back to Mayangzhou.

Looking at the battle of this day, the gray old man among the thousand people who came forward at the beginning of the Jingzhou banner was not very important. The meaning of their existence is more to mess up Aryajiang's mind and plant a seed of failure for the Qing soldiers.

What really made the seed of 'failure' take root and grow vigorously was the bravery and courage of the Fu Han army.

Dingchang never woke up after he passed out.

Next.

On the ninth day of the lunar month of the 32nd year of Qianlong, the time of the hour. Governor of Qinghuguang, Manchurian Zhenghuang Banner, Ilgen Jueluo Dingchang, died in office. On the eve of Chen Ming leading his troops towards the three towns of Wuhan......
