"Jin Shenghuan is stupid! Even more stupid than I thought! Pang Yue put down the information in his hand and shook his head incessantly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

He returned to Chenzhou at the end of March, and since then he has been constantly receiving reports on the situation in Jiangxi. Nothing has deviated from the original trajectory, and it is even worse than the original history.

Pang Yue originally thought that with the extra factor of Hao Yongzhong in Ganzhou, Jin Shenghuan would be able to make more famous. But who knows that the performance of this duke is still as stable as ever, first putting the cart before the horse, doing his best to attack Ji'an, and now he cares about the head and tail, and transfers all the heavy troops in northern Jiangxi to the south. When you hesitate when you are decisive, and when you are flexible, you are persistent, and if you can succeed in doing this, it can only be that God is blind.

"Okay, I know, the Intelligence Department will continue to strengthen the monitoring of the situation in Jiangxi, and we must not let go of any disturbances." Pang Yue instructed Ma Yuancheng.

Ma Yuancheng has always said little, nodded and promised, and then retired.

Subsequently, Pang Yue sent people to invite Tian Shizun and Chen Ying to come.

Before the two staff members arrived, he stood alone indoors, looking out the window at the courtyard.

In this late spring, the courtyard is full of flowers, thousands of purples and thousands of reds, but he has no leisure to appreciate the beauty. All I can think about is where the situation will go next and what I can do to deal with it.

A large-scale counterattack by the Qing army was inevitable, and a violent storm was about to come south.

First of all, in the Jingzhou War last year, Shang Kexi, Shen Zhixiang and many other important figures were awarded, and more than 20,000 Qing troops were wiped out. This year, it is Jin and Wang anyway, and most of Jiangxi is anti-Qing and Ming. Such a series of changes was definitely a heavy blow to the Qing court. And the Manchu high-level leaders, who were determined to steal from the Central Plains, would never let the situation continue to develop like this and shake the foundation of their rule. It is to be expected that this upcoming comeback will be unprecedentedly fierce, even more violent than in the original history.

With a big war just around the corner, think about the comparison of the strengths of the enemy and the enemy.

Let's look at the Manchu side first, although it is a barbaric and brutal outside the Guan, but after all, it is a whole, the center is strong, and the order is prohibited, not to mention that most of the land population of China today has fallen into its hands, so its threat and destructive power are more than those of wild boar skin and Hong Tai when they were in charge.

On the other hand, what about Daming's side? In just a few years, they lost most of their land and people and retreated to the southern corner, not to mention for the time being, even in such a field, there is still infighting, and all forces are fighting against each other.

Take Huguang's soldiers and horses as an example, in addition to him Pang Yue, there are also Wugang Liu Chengyin, Changde Ma Jinzhong, Youxian Huang Chaoxuan and Changsha He Tengjiao under the control of several towns of soldiers and horses. Although there are a lot of soldiers and horses, they are not subordinate to each other, and it is difficult to form a joint force. Moreover, many other towns have selfish intentions, and they are too busy fighting for power and profit, so they want to fight for the country? It's too strong.

It can be expected that even if Emperor Longwu issued an edict to send troops to Jiangxi, he would be willing to go to the battlefield and use only one soldier and horse in Huguang Town.

Even this is not the most headache, what is even more headache is that once Huguang Town sends its main force to the battlefield in the future, how to ensure that some young people are not in the rear?

A heavy burden is on his shoulders, and a thousand trivialities surround his heart. Pang Yue looked out the window and pondered for a long time, and unconsciously let out a light sigh: "It's difficult!"

"Hahaha, when this is a good season of spring in the South Park and the crowd is beautiful, why is it difficult for the handsome to speak?"

The laughter came from behind, and Pang Yue turned around to see that it was Tian Shizun and Chen Ying who had already arrived. Who is it that is not Chen Ying who made a hearty laugh?

"Xiusheng (Chen Yingzi) has always been a leader in opportunities, why don't you tell me where my difficulties are today, how about it?" Pang Yue smiled as he beckoned the two to take their seats.

"If you don't guess wrong, the worry of the handsome is not only in Jiangxi, but also not in Jiangxi."

"Xiusheng might as well say it clearly."

"Haha, a certain idler, just don't miss the handsome's business first. It's better to talk to Zi Jing in detail first, if the worries are still there at that time, it's not too late to say goodbye to the big handsome. Chen Ying shook the folding fan in his hand, not in a hurry to speak, but first snorted haha.

Tian Shizun and Chen Ying are the two masterminds under Pang Yue's account, but the division of labor between the two is different. Tian Shizun is good at internal politics, and has been actually presiding over the affairs of the Huguang Command Mission, such as the recruitment of soldiers, the convening of grain and grass, the reclamation of various guard posts, and the production of armor and weapons in the General Manufacturing Bureau.

Chen Ying is inferior to Tian Shizun in terms of internal politics and management, and is not as good as Zhang Yunli in terms of specific camp management, but he also has his own distinct advantages. His strength lies in his excellent overall view and profound planning and layout ability, which is far inferior to Tian Shizun and Zhang Yunli, and sometimes even Pang Yue can only bow to the wind. In addition, he is also good at reading books, writing strong memorization, and writing beautiful articles.

As for the daily division of labor, he is not as clear as Tian Shizun. Sometimes I go to assist Tian Shizun in handling official business, sometimes I go to help Zhang Yunli think of a way, and sometimes I take care of the copywriting by Pang Yue's side, which belongs to the state of doing everything. As for what he himself said about "an idler", it is obviously a joke.

Pang Yue knew his temperament, so he could only laugh and start the conversation with Tian Shizun first.

In a few months there will be another big war. There is a saying that "before the soldiers and horses move, the grain and grass go first", and the soldiers, grain and grass, and weapons should be prepared in advance, so that they can be prepared only in time of war.

And these are all taken care of by Tian Shizun. Pang Yue came to him today to find out the latest progress of these works. What has been completed? How can you finish on time if you don't finish it? What additional measures need to be taken? All kinds of laws and regulations need to be well understood.

After some detailed discussions and inquiries, Pang Yue was indeed not disappointed.

Up to all kinds of general directions, down to the small details of the details, Tian Shizun is eloquent, such as a number of treasures, and he also carries a book with him for explanation. Therefore, although there are a lot of clues, Pang Yue listens to it in a clear manner, and the more he listens, the more he understands.

At present, in the military, the two major tasks of Huguang Town are to train the new army and reorganize the battalion, and the other is to expand the military supply and prepare for a major war. And these two major tasks require nothing more than soldiers, food, and equipment.

According to Tian Shizun's report, the soldiers and weapons are basically in place. But this grain...... If only the output of the guards under the Huguang Metropolitan Division had more than enough food and grass for the war, it would be at least after the autumn harvest. But will the situation in Jiangxi in the future allow Huguang Town to calmly prepare until after the autumn harvest? Apparently impossible.

In that case, we have to think of a way from somewhere else. Later, Pang Yue had an in-depth discussion with Tian Shizun on this matter.

However, on the whole, the preparations for the war are still going well.

After Pang Yue and Tian Shizun talked, Chen Ying smiled and said, "Dare to ask the marshal, is the previous worry still there at this time?"

"Mr. Xiusheng might as well guess again?" Pang Yue was not in a hurry to answer, and joked with a smile.

"Forgive me for my courage, it's still there."

"Where?"

"Where it was before."

"Hahaha, those who know me, Xiusheng also!" Pang Yue said with a smile. But after laughing heartily, his expression returned to solemnity.

Yes, how can you be worry-free?

Although Fang Cai Tian Shizun's report gave Pang Yue a reassurance, it was far from reaching the point of completely relieving his worries.

The situation in the future will be so complex and changeable that I am afraid that it will be beyond people's imagination.

How many routes will the Qing army go south? In addition to the west of the river, how many places will there be?

After Huguang Town sent troops, how could the friendly and neighboring troops be willing to fight together?

When the main force is exhausted, how to ensure the internal stability of Huguang? If there are ill-intentioned young people who cause chaos in the rear, or even collude with foreign enemies from the north to cause chaos, how should they deal with it?

……

With so many unknowns and uncertainties ahead, so much of the burden on my shoulders. If you were a psychologically fragile person, I am afraid that the sorrow in your heart would have been "just like a river flowing eastward".

Fortunately, Pang Yue has a vision and insight beyond today's people, and although the prospect is unpredictable, he will not be confused. The experience of being in charge of the army over the years has also given him an unusual decision. Therefore, in the face of the above possible situations, he actually thought of some countermeasures in his heart. It's just that this is a family after all, and it is not known whether it is feasible, and it needs to be carefully discussed with someone.

And this is also the original intention of him to come to Chen Ying today.

"That's right, I'm still worried, so I don't know how Xiusheng taught me?" Pang Yue handed the information sent by Ma Yuancheng to Chen Ying.

Chen Ying took the information, just took a cursory glance, and handed it to Tian Shizun casually, as if everything was in his expectation, there was nothing to see.

"Don't hide it, in recent days, I have also had worries in my heart. In addition to worrying, think about it repeatedly. Occasionally, it is written on this fan, and I hope that the handsome and Zijing will not laugh. After Chen Ying finished speaking, he opened the folding fan that had been closed in his hand and handed it over.

Pang Yue noticed the words on both sides of the folding fan, thinking that it was just a poem on an ordinary fan, but it was Chen Ying's heart, and he couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "Xiusheng acts, it is really eclectic!"

After taking the fan and looking at two or three lines, Pang Yue's eyebrows couldn't help but rise.

I saw that the words on this fan were neat and rhyming, just like a long poem.

As for the content......

"With Mr. this, I am worried about most of it!" After reading the "long poem" on the folding fan in detail twice, Pang Yue was in a good mood and breathed a sigh of relief.

…………

Day after day, spring goes to summer.

The situation in Jiangxi can be said to be changing three times a day, and Huguang Town's preparations for war are also proceeding in an orderly manner.

In early April, the personnel and equipment of the two newly attached battalions in Yuezhou and Yongding were all in place. Like other main battalions of the Marine Army, each battalion was fully equipped with more than 4,000 men, and they continued to drill day after day.

In mid-April, the reorganization of the two major sailor battalions of Fubo and Yangwei was also completely completed. In this adaptation, the members of the Yuezhou Water Division and the Dongting Water Pirates of the former Qing Army in the Yangwei Battalion were comprehensively screened. Those who do not have obvious bad deeds and strive for progress will be left behind, and those who do not change their bad habits and do not want to make progress will be eliminated without leaving one. They also broke down the original barriers, and broke up the soldiers and grassroots officers of the two battalions, reorganized them, and reassigned them to the two battalions. In addition, a new batch of recruits was recruited to fill the vacancies. The total strength was expanded, reaching more than 4,000 per battalion. The battalion officers of the two battalions are still He Guoyuan and Xu Sanbao, and the deputy battalion officers of the two battalions, Chen Shangtu and Yi Liankui, are transferred.

At the beginning of leap April, the newly formed 1st Garrison Battalion left for Yuezhou to take over the defense of the trapped camp. The trapped camp returned to Chenzhou.

In the middle of the year, Huguang Town entered a state of full combat readiness. All battalions of the armed forces have canceled their vacations, strengthened drills, and are on standby at any time.

……

On the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifth month, Pang Yue, as usual, was busy in the front office of the commander of the capital until late at night.

After processing the last official document of the day, he breathed a long sigh of relief. Today's things are quite small, if it were a few days ago, it would be normal to be busy until the early morning of the next day.

It was at this moment that he finally had some time to catch his breath and remembered that he hadn't been back to the backyard for several days.

Now, Liu Bing'er is more than seven months pregnant, has difficulty walking, and rarely leaves the hospital again. As long as Pang Yue is busy, it is not uncommon for the husband and wife not to see each other for a few days.

As soon as he thought of this, Pang Yue couldn't help feeling guilty, as a husband, he often didn't see anyone for a few days at such a critical moment, which was really a dereliction of responsibility.

Tonight, I'm going to have to go back anyway!

Pang Yue made up his mind in his heart, washed his face with cold water, called the soldiers outside the house to pick up the lights in front of him, and rushed towards the backyard like an arrow.

At this time, he was already thinking about what he would say in his first sentence after seeing his wife.

The lady is angry, and she deserves death for her husband's crimes? Haha, it's not good, it's not good, it's too cheesy! Then ......

"Boom Boom......" The cloudy night sky suddenly exploded with a thunderbolt, interrupting Pang Yue's train of thought. He was about to scold the thief, but he vaguely heard footsteps coming from behind him.

Looking back, a personal soldier who was on duty at night in the front office had already rushed to stand not far away and saluted: "Greeting, Master Sima is here, saying that if there is something important, you must immediately present the commander!"

Pang Yue suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, paused for a moment, looked in the direction of the backyard, and turned to return the way he came.

After returning to the front office, after seeing Ma Yuancheng, he withdrew from the personal soldiers beside him and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Qiyu Dashuai, Jiangxi just sent an urgent report, Jiujiang is broken!"

Pang Yue was stunned for a moment, subconsciously glanced at the night sky in the east, and saw a flash of lightning suddenly passing through it. (To be continued.) )
