Jiujiang is an important town in Jiangxi, and Poyang Lake, the Yangtze River is close to, is the most important military town in Jiangxi, coupled with the Chi Road to reach here, Jiangxi only one Chi Road to build a city, now the business here has been steadily overwhelmed by Nanchang Mansion, just two years of effort, this Jiangxi second largest government has a faint tendency to dominate. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

However, at these times, the atmosphere suddenly became tense, the new army and 340,000 or 50,000 military horses from all over the country were stationed, and the guards began to be tightened, even the nearby county towns also had heavy military handles, and there were swims and scouts scattered outside the city.

Strange things to teach people, not only did this kind of thing not happen, but this Jiujiang City was much more lively than before.

Things have changed, and the war that used to make people feel hateful also has a lot of benefits, such as tens of thousands of troops hoarding together, although there is a supply of food and forage from the imperial court, but after all, the imperial court still has a place that cannot be taken care of, plus the war is imminent, the reward of the imperial court has been distributed, not to mention the new army, not to mention the reward, just by salary, these people in the eyes of the merchants, it has become fragrant.

To the disappointment of the merchants, the richest new army did not make much money, and after the new army arrived in Jiujiang, they were not allowed to leave the camp, and every day was a practice, from morning to night, and it was almost unprofitable except for the quartermaster of the large battalion to buy a few cows, dozens of pigs, and some bits and pieces of food every day.

Fortunately, not all the officers and soldiers are like the new army, and the other battalions and horses are not as strict as the military discipline, from the wine shops on the street to the green buildings and casinos, the officers and soldiers are overcrowded, these people are shouting five and drinking six, although they are very domineering, but they will obediently pay the silver, not that these lawless soldiers have changed their surnames, but it is said that a few days ago, the Beizhen Fusi ordered the local Jinyi Wei and the Investigation Bureau to go to the streets, but anyone who dared to bully the merchants was immediately brought to justice.

It was Liu Chengfeng of the military affairs of Liangjiang, the governor, who gave the order, and it is said that last night, this Lian Guogong had arrived in Jiujiang, but he did not show his head, he was very low-key, and the officers and soldiers on the street just had no Wang Fa, and they did not dare to be presumptuous.

In the eyes of outsiders, after Lian Guogong arrived in Jiujiang, he seemed to be out of the car lightly, and he did not have the prestige of supervising military affairs at all, but in the ears of some insiders, he knew that this guy who could cause trouble anywhere was not simple.

First, all military information must be sent to Lian Guogong's line as soon as possible, and there must be no mistakes.

Second, the three armies are on alert, and the sailors on the other side of Poyang Lake must also be on standby.

The third way is to reprimand the commanders of the battalions and thousands of households, and order them to restrain their subordinates and practice at night.

This first one is easy to understand, after all, this Lord Qincha is here to take charge of military affairs, and the average commander, first of all, must be well-informed so that he can react at any time. The second article is also the duty of the Qin cha who oversees the war. But the third one, this is a bit of a curse, let everyone restrain the subordinates, doesn't it mean that in the past, everyone connived at the people under them to run amok and let them practice all night, do everyone have to learn from the new army?

The military attachés in the army are not the same as the people outside, these people are the emperors of the soil in the locality, don't look down on the civil officials, but in the military household, they have the life and death of countless people in their hands, so these people are not only greedy, but the surname is also the most popular, they will not provoke others, but someone will point fingers in front of them, and they will never be ambiguous.

Liu Chengfeng's third order is simply scolding, you are a good messenger, you are strategizing, how can you lead the troops and you still have to take care of it, this hand is too long?

Therefore, as soon as Liu Chengfeng arrived, there was a lot of resentment in this army.

Although King Ning made a fuss near Nanchang Mansion, but Jiujiang is still peaceful, except for the occasional thief haunt in Poyang Lake, there are usually no thieves appearing, to the third day, the latest military information was transmitted to Jiujiang, and then, in Liu Chengfeng's line, the generals from all walks of life began to gather, and the first military meeting of Jiujiang Mansion was opened.

The person who came was at least a military attache at the command level, of course, there was also the newly appointed governor of Jiangxi by the imperial court, the former governor of Jiangxi had been martyred, Nanchang and other places also fell into the hands of King Ning, and the imperial court still occupied a part of Jiangxi, in fact, even if the entire Jiangxi fell, this governor was also to be established, but Nanchang did not want to go, so he had to be temporarily resettled in Jiujiang Mansion.

This governor's name is Zhu Shimao, it is said that he is also a person from Jiangxi, and a few months ago he was still a bachelor in the Hanlin Academy.

The governor is the highest official in charge of military affairs in the locality, so to speak, everyone has to look up to him, for example, the commanders of the military households, who now seem to be temporarily under the control of Liu Chengfeng, but once the unrest is quelled, the governor has the right to intervene with them.

Zhu Shimao came to serve as the official of this feudal territory, it is said that it was jointly recommended by the cabinet, and this Zhu Futai also arrived in Jiujiang almost at the same time as Liu Chengfeng, but Liu Chengfeng and him were on the road of civil and martial arts, and the two sides did not have any dealings.

The flower hall in Xingyuan is relatively simple, there are already more than a dozen people sitting in it, Zhu Shimao naturally sat on the lower side of the left hand, Liu Chengfeng is Qincha, he is also half Qincha, Liu Chengfeng is naturally the main general, and no one has any objections to his second-in-command.

It's just that what is indignant is that Qian Fang, the commander of the new army, actually sits in the first place on the right, this position is usually the third-in-command, what is he Qian Fang, he is not more than Erer when he was in Xuanfu, this position, how can it not be his turn to be in seniority.

However, Qian Fang is said to be the earliest person to come, his butt has fallen off the chair, and no one can go up to quarrel with him, and the other commanders are displeased, but they can only sit in the lower position.

Although everyone has their own concerns, everyone wants to see what kind of character this Lian Guogong is and what kind of demeanor he has.

Everyone waited anxiously for a moment, and then saw a man in a python robe come in with his hands in his hands, this person was very young, with a beautiful demeanor, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a high nose bridge, but his face was very bad, although he was handsome, but he always had a very cold temperament, which was intimidating.

Liu Chengfeng walked in step by step, without squinting, and sat on the top without hesitation, before he could speak, Qian Fang was the first to leave his seat and salute, and said, "I have seen an adult." ”

The rest of the commanders were also shocked that Liu Chengfeng was so young, and when they saw Qian Fang's actions, they all stood up reluctantly, clasped their hands and saluted: "I've seen an adult." ”

Only Zhu Shimao, the governor of Jiangxi, sat firmly on the chair, just nodded at Liu Chengfeng, which was regarded as a greeting.

After all, the identity of the governor is different, and this Zhu Futai is from Hanlin, he has never seen anything in the world, and he is a dignified second-class feudal official, and there is no reason to salute a military attaché.

Liu Chengfeng just nodded lightly, then his eyes sank, and he said in a heavy tone: "Everyone is meeting for the first time, my name is Liu Chengfeng, I think everyone has heard of it, everyone knows me, now the military affairs are urgent, and the official will not say anything off-topic to you, it is better to be straightforward." ”

His sentence is straightforward, which makes people feel that this Qincha doesn't seem to be interested in mingling with everyone at all, which can't help but make people a little angry, although you are the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and you are the grandfather of the country, and you are in a high position, but now that the court is quelling the rebellion, don't you have to rely on everyone? You don't even want to lower your posture at all, so arrogant, which makes everyone's face go anywhere.

Although I want to think about it, but this incident has to be over, everyone laughed together: "The adults are dedicated to the public, which is really admirable." ”

Liu Chengfeng smiled lightly, I don't know if I ate the flattery, but after all, I still gave everyone a good face, but this good face was very stingy, and it only existed for a moment, and then it became serious again, Liu Chengfeng's eyes glanced at everyone, and said in a heavy tone: "Only then did the latest military information send, the thief army marched eastward, just yesterday it was said that Raozhou was broken, it is said that it is in the city of Raozhou, there is the internal response of the thief army, and the city gate was opened at night, and the thief army was allowed to enter the city, and the official army was defeated, and there was no one in ten, Except for a few defeated soldiers who had to retreat to Anqing, the rest of the people waited, and the dead surrendered, all in all, the thief army won the first battle. ”

This is the latest news, in the hearts of many people, after all, King Ning gathered a rabble, and the number of people is only 100,000 at most, and the official army is several times that of him, this King Ning will be defeated sooner or later, but who would have thought that this is just the beginning, people will take Raozhou with a thunderous momentum, Raozhou is also close to Poyang Lake, if it goes north, it is Anqing Mansion, once the thief army takes the opportunity to take Anqing, even if the gateway to Nanjing is completely opened, the war will not only burn to the south of the Yangtze River, and even the north of the Yangtze River will be affected.

Therefore, when the news came out, there was a buzzing discussion in the hall, and many people's faces showed surprise and looked a little panicked.

Raozhou Mansion has hoarded thirty or forty thousand troops, and Jiujiang, like Jiujiang, is a military town besieging Nanchang, it is only a few days of hard work, it is over, and more importantly, once Raozhou is occupied by the thief army, then the strategic value of Jiujiang will be completely lost, because whether it is the Northern Expedition or take Nanjing, there are only two ways to go, one is to Jiujiang, the other is to bypass Jiujiang, first take Raozhou, and then go north along Poyang Lake, now Raozhou is gone, people can bypass Jiujiang at all, What's the use of you having so many soldiers here?
