Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Warm winds blow from south to north.

The jungle of Datong is still gray, and the south of the Yangtze River has long been fragrant with birds and flowers.

In the spring ploughing season, people everywhere are busy in the fields.

The impact of war on people's lives is clear. Jiangnan experienced a short period of war, and the poison of the Qing Dynasty for more than half a year passed quickly, but General Pingyu recruited a large number of people in the west.

The warships went up the river, and the river was sometimes gentle, sometimes turbulent.

Zhai Zhe stood at the bow of the boat, and Liu Suifeng and Yao Qisheng and other staff members stood behind him. On this expedition, he brought ten civilian staff, five of whom were from eastern Zhejiang.

After seizing the south of the Yangtze River, the Pingyu General's Mansion gradually formed three major forces, the first northerners to follow him south, the Zhedong Group and the Songjiang Group. At present, the northerners still have an overwhelming advantage, but most of the newly promoted soldiers in the army are from eastern Zhejiang, and the famous literati who have defected to him are Chen Zilong.

Yao Qisheng reminded: "The front is to the boundary of Chizhou!" "He is the chief manager of supervising the transportation of grain and grass, and with his excellent performance in the first battle, he finally entered Zhai Zhe's eyes. General Pingyu's Mansion is now short of talents, and capable people are not afraid of not having a chance to get ahead.

He is very young, and he also likes to express his sense of expression in front of Zhai Zhe. People like Liu Suifeng who have experienced the destruction of their families and have been coerced by homeless people, of course, will not compete with him for the limelight.

After the recovery of Jiangnan, the generals under the command of General Pingyu occupied the fields and married the concubines.

Only Liu Suifeng is still clear, and his ideals are far from being as narrow as those rude martial artists. Zhai Zhe is like a delicate handicraft in his hands, and his wish is to push him to the highest position. This is the horror of the literati, I have seen more from the book, and the **** will be unimaginably inflated.

The water surface of Chizhou is gentle, the north of the river is Anqing Mansion, and the south of the Yangtze River is the Chizhou Mansion.

Flags were waved on the banks of the river, the ranks of the soldiers were neat, and the dull sound of drums was faintly heard.

"How could Fang Guoan have the heart to make these rituals!" Zhai Zhe was very unhappy. Seven days ago, he quickly ordered Fang Guoan to attack Anqing, but until he arrived here, he had never heard of a war here. He and Zheng Zhilong's army marched towards Jiangxi at about the same time.

Zheng Zhilong attacked Ji'an, and he advanced to Jiujiang. Jiujiang Relations: The road for Jin Shenghuan to retreat to Jiangbei is also the east gate to enter Huguang. But if you want to take Jiujiang, you must first take Anqing, which is his first siege war......

The warship docked, and Fang Guoan and his son Fang Yuanke greeted them on the shore.

"General!"

Fang Guoan used to call Zhai Zhe General Pingyu, but now he finally changed his words.

"How's the military going?"

"Zhang Tianlu insists on Anqing!"

"You are in Jiangnan, how do you know that Zhang Tianlu will stick to Anqing?" Zhai Zhe muttered in his heart, but did not say it. He knocked on a cold face and said: "The military situation is urgent, cross the river tomorrow and enter Anqing Mansion!" ”

Fang Guo sighed with peace of mind, and replied: "Obey!" ”

The 60,000 troops disembarked in batches and camped on the south bank of the river, and Zhai Zhe used a clairvoyant mirror to see that someone in the north of the river was secretly peeping.

Anqing Mansion has 13,000 people guarded by Zhang Tianlu, if it was ten days ago, it would be impregnable. Because the soldiers and horses of the Qing court in Huguang and Yangzhou Mansion may come to the rescue, but now, Zhai Zhe is giving the Qing court a problem. Is it to attack Shanxi first, or to rescue Anqing first?

If the Qing court transferred the soldiers and horses of Yangzhou Prefecture, he would not hesitate to order Fengqin to attack Yangzhou from Zhenjiang.

There was no military discussion, Zhai Zhe directly ordered Fang Guoan and Li Zhian to send 10,000 soldiers and horses to cross the river at the border of Anqing.

Fang Guoan was reluctant to return to Fuzhong, he was assigned from Zhejiang to the border of Chizhou and Wuhu, far away from Jiangnan, and he always had a thorn in his heart. His face is not good, and everyone in the house is very careful not to touch his moldy head.

"Expedition to the West! Expedition to the West! He Tengjiao's 200,000 army was also defeated in Huguang, just with these 60,000 people? Aren't you going to kill yourself? ”

He was complaining, and his son Fang Yuan Kexing rushed home.

"Dad, do you count the soldiers and horses? Which battalion will cross the river tomorrow? ”

Fang Guoan's anger did not subside, and he scolded: "Cross the river, cross the river, why don't you have a snack!" It is not easy for our family to accumulate these soldiers and horses, so don't destroy them all in your hands. His anger because he couldn't disobey Zhai Zhe's order was all vented. Ma Shiying's appointment as an assistant did not bring him any benefits.

Fang Yuanke looked puzzled and asked, "Dad, what's wrong with you?" ”

"The general wants to use this to consume our soldiers and horses, can't you see it? My family has been from Hangzhou for generations, and now I have made great contributions to the imperial court, but I can't go back to my home. ”

Fang Guoan had never said such a thing to his son, and he didn't hold it back today.

"Daddy!" Fang Yuanke didn't know how to persuade him.

"Go, now it's a man-made sword, and I'm a fish, so what?"

Zhai Zhe knew that Fang Guoan was beginning to cherish his own dignity, but he didn't know that Fang Guoan's feelings had become so anxious.

When Jiangnan was not recovered last year, Fang Guoan was satisfied with only a Huizhou Mansion as a place to stay. Now it occupies the land of Chizhou and Wuhu, and they are both relatively rich places, but they are not satisfied.

This is the normal condition of human beings, not to suffer from widowhood but to suffer from inequality. The wealth of Jiangnan is eye-catching.

In the early morning of the next day, the sailor first went to the opposite side of Anqing Mansion to clean up the river, and Zhang Tianlu's sailor did not form an army and had already taken refuge in Yezi Lake. With the assistance of Zheng's sailors to stay in Zhenjiang, Zhai Zhe brought the most elite warships over this time. There are small-caliber iron cannons on the side of the ship, which can bombard up to two miles away.

Zhang Tianlu did not risk coming out to block the attack, and let the Ming army ascend 6.

After the Ming army went ashore, he immediately arranged a defensive queue, Li Zhi'an used his soldiers to be old, and Zhai Zhe let him enter Jiangbei, which was mainly for stability. Fang Guoan and Li Zhi'an's soldiers and horses lined up outside the south gate of Anqing City, forming horns with each other.

Zhai Zhe was not in a hurry to give the order to attack the city, and waited for the two soldiers and horses to successfully block Zhang Tianlu in the city. He ordered Yuan Qizhou to capture Huaining County in the north of Anqing City and block Zhang Tianlu's retreat.

For three days, the Ming army under the city of Anqing was cutting down trees and making siege equipment. Yuan Qizhou led the Ming army to capture Zongyang, Qianshan and other counties for 6 years, but the Qing court did not react.

The warships transporting iron cannons arrived at the south of the Yangtze River, and the people recruited by Yuan Qizhou dug up the artillery positions. The iron cannons in the south of the Yangtze River were captured by the Ming army under the city of Hangzhou, and half of them were not placed back on the wall, just in time to come in handy during the western expedition.

When everything was ready, Zhai Zhe led Yang Shouzhuang to Anqing City.

Yang Shouzhuang used to be Zhang Tianlu's subordinate general, and he was very familiar with many defenders in the city.

The soldiers shouted: "General Ming Pingyu asks Zhang Tianlu to answer!" ”

Zhang Tianlu showed his head at the head of the city.

"You were originally the chief soldier of the Ming Dynasty, because the situation was unfavorable to take refuge in the Qing Dynasty, today the Ming Dynasty gave you a chance to surrender anyway, if you lead the army to surrender, you can continue to serve the imperial court. Your subordinate Yang Shouzhuang is already the deputy general of the Ming Dynasty. All Han people who are anyway, the Ming will open their arms. ”

Zhang Tianlu stood at the head of the city and did not speak.

Yang Shouzhuang stood majestically under the city.

Nanchang Province.

This is the center of Jiangxi, and urgent reports from all over the country are coming like snowflakes.

A middle-aged military general with a Chinese face stood up and walked two steps for a while, and then sat down again.
