"Pass the generalissimo's order, Liao Yongan, the governor of Jiangnan, and Chang Yuchun, the governor of Pingjiang, immediately go to the boat on Taihu Lake to meet the generalissimo!"

Chen Da, the commander of the Marshal of the Qingfeng Army, straddled the Changmiao knife and took two entouragemen, walked straight into the yamen of the Jiangnan General Administration, and ordered loudly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The situation in Jiangnan has already begun to deteriorate.

The Yuan army in Hangzhou, since the peace with the Qingfeng army, gathered a large number of troops, wrapped in Fang Guozhen's army, all the way to the west, will go south from the mountains of Shezhou to the east into Zhu Chongba's army, and fight the fart. Zhu Chongba originally wanted to take advantage of the bloody battle between the Qingfeng army and the Yuan army in Huzhou, fishing in troubled waters, his army was like an open fist, all the way east to fight Hangzhou, all the way west to fight for the Dongting Lake Plain with the Tianwan regime, Zhu Chongba's defeat in Hangzhou, as if breaking an arm, this is a good thing for Hao Ren, who was going to dominate the south of the Yangtze River.

However, Yang Wanzhi defeated Zhu Chongba, and the current military strength has grown to 200,000 people, and now Dazhi Timuer conspired with Yang Wanzhi, taking advantage of the absence of Hao Ren, the generalissimo of the Qingfeng army, to attack the city of Jiading, which is prominent on the south side of Taihu Lake.

Jiading was defended by Guo Zixing's subordinate general Shao Rong, who faced the enemy's powerful attack and sent three urgent documents in succession, asking for help from Liao Yongan, the governor of Jiangnan.

Hao Ren's soldiers and horses left in Jiangnan were very heavy, although they were controlled by Liao Yongan, but they were all scattered and stationed in various places, Pingjiang only had an army of Chang Yuchun, and if the scattered army was to be assembled, the number of soldiers and horses and the range of firearms would not be advantageous, and Yang Tongguan had many troops, and it was very likely that he would divide his troops to attack the rear of Qingfeng's army in Jiangnan.

Liao Yongan and Chang Yuchun were in front of the map, anxiously arguing about the counterattack plan, and the two had a big difference, they were arguing with red faces, and suddenly received the password brought by the marshal's guard, the two couldn't help but be overjoyed, as if seeing the light in the dark, the burden on their shoulders immediately felt much lighter, and hurriedly followed Chen Da to Taihu Lake to meet Hao Ren.

On the Taihu Lake, Hao Ren's flagship Shouzhou, was guarded by the naval army of the Qingfeng Army and the warships of the Jiangfang Army.

On the right hand side of Hao Ren, the first one is Liu Bowen, who joined the army, and Yu Tongyuan, Yao Guangxiao, and Yeli Kewen Ma Tie are in the back position.

The generals are on the left side of Hao Ren, and Liao Yongan, who is guarding Pingjiang, and Chang Yuchun are in the first and second positions.

Deng Yu and Yang informed the two generals that the soldiers and horses would stay in Guangde, west of Taihu Lake, and the two generals crossed Taihu Lake and came to see the meeting.

Yu Tonghai, the head of the navy, joined Wu Liuqi of the Jiangfang Army who stayed in Taihu Lake, and the generals of the Second Naval Army had also taken their seats.

Chen Yexian came from Wuxi to meet the infantry, Li Zongke came from Zhenjiang with all the soldiers and horses, and the two generals were also seated.

Jiao Lu, the chief of the firearms battalion, Yu Tongyuan, the chief of the Luzhou army, and Zhao Jizu, the chief of the Haozhou army, came together with Hao Ren, and the three chiefs also attended the meeting.

The original former army of 10,000 households guarded Jiankang, the left army of 10,000 households Fu Youde guarded Yangzhou, the guard Wu Liujiu guarded Mengcheng, the Chinese army 10,000 households Zhang Poyu guarded Anqing, the navy 10,000 households Hu Boyan all handsome four sea ships and the Shen family fleet went to sea, Shao Rong, the head of the Jiading army, was besieged in Jiading, these six leading commanders, for some reason could not participate, and the rest of the important army managers all attended the meeting.

There are also 8,000 cavalry of Hu Dahai, Geng Zaicheng, Tu Danhu, and Yu Tonghe, who are not yet on the way to come.

"The generalissimo came at the right time, Hangzhou's Dazhi Timu reneged on the covenant, and the commanders attacked Jiading, which was ceded to us earlier, Shao Rong has sent three letters for help, asking the generalissimo to send rescue troops as soon as possible!" As soon as Liao Yongan sat down, he had already said the thorny question and waited for the generalissimo to give an order.

"I came here this time because I had a covenant with Da Zhi Ti Er, and I was worried that I couldn't find a reasonable reason to eliminate him, and now, he reneged on the covenant first, this is Da Zhi Ti Mu Er and Yang Tongguan are killing themselves!" Hao Ren said coldly.

Liao Yongan left the table and hugged his fists and said: "Now that Yang Tongguan's soldiers and horses have grown to 200,000 people, and the number of enemy firearms is increasing day by day, I am afraid that Yang Tongguan will be difficult to defeat for a while. ”

The road to hegemony is a race with the enemy, if you don't develop, your enemy is developing, Hao Ren didn't expect that this time he returned to Jiangbei, but in half a year, Hangzhou's military strength actually soared by 50,000 to 200,000.

And Hao Ren's northward advance this time, in addition to helping Liu Futong stabilize the war situation in the north, his own directly governed troops only advanced from Shouzhou to the north to Daomengcheng, so that his subordinate army stood out from the front, Yang Zhengtai occupied Caizhou, Guo Tianxu occupied Suzhou, and his own forces developed very little, basically standing still.

However, while the Qingfeng army left the enemy with opportunities for development, it made rapid progress in science and technology.

In terms of infrastructure construction, the high-mobility road to get rich has been tested and completed, and more than 20 miles have been built before departure, and the follow-up work has been handed over to Mu Youcai and Shen Wang to follow up.

In the development of military science and technology, artillery has developed from three-pounder guns to six-pounder guns, with increased power and increased firing range by two-thirds, solving the dilemma of fighting against the enemy and having a slightly comparable range of artillery. Moreover, the craftsmen presented a ten-round Qingfeng repeater, which greatly increased the rate of fire and strengthened the cavalry's striking ability.

In terms of science and technology, kerosene for lighting was extracted from the waste oil used in road construction, and craftsmen improved horse-drawn carriages and invented four-wheeled horse-drawn carriages.

In terms of strategy, Hu Boyan's four sea ships followed the Shen family's fleet to the South Seas to open up overseas careers for Hao Ren and be a pioneer.

In terms of talents, it has set up schools and opened imperial examinations, accommodating 120 talents for imperial examinations.

Although Hao Ren's territory has not been opened up much, these are the achievements of Qingfengjun in half a year, and if you need some work reports, these should all be listed.

"The last general is willing to be a pioneer and go to the rescue of Shao Rongbu, who is besieged in the north of Jiading, please ask the generalissimo for permission!" Zhao Jizu has always had a good relationship with Shao Rong, and the two of them are as good as one person, but now when he heard that Shao Rong was in trouble, he volunteered to support Shao Rong.

Hao Ren didn't speak, but raised his hand to stop Zhao Jizu from continuing, and he muttered for a long time: "Is Jiading important, or Huzhou important?" ”

"From a strategic point of view, Huzhou is the gateway to Hangzhou, of course, Huzhou is important, but Lord Shao and the last general are brothers in life and death, and the last general can't see his brother fall into danger and not come to the rescue!" Zhao Jizu persuaded hard.

"Lord Liao Yongan, you have been staying in Jiangnan for a long time, how long do you think Shao Rong can support at least!" Hao Ren has already made up his mind to fight Huzhou and then break Hangzhou, he can't delay his major event of pacifying Jiangnan because of a city in Jiading.

After all, there are too many princes competing with Hao Ren, it is like sailing against the current, and if the Qingfeng army does not develop rapidly, it will be occupied by the enemy, at this time, time is life.

Liao Yongan is a fine person, from Hao Ren's words, he has heard that Hao Ren wants to give up aiding Jiading, and concentrate his troops to fight Huzhou, he pinched his fingers and calculated, Shao Rong's grain can be supported for at least three months, he said: "Judging from Jiading's grain stockpile, it should not be a problem for General Shao to defend two, if our army can break Huzhou within two months, the enemy soldiers in Jiading will inevitably return to Hangzhou, and the siege of Jiading will not be solved!" ”

"Tell Shao Rong to defend Jiading, and I will be able to conquer Huzhou and coerce Hangzhou in a few days!" Hao Ren hammered his fist on the desk and said firmly. (To be continued.) )
