"Division Commander Jiang, you have two missions, Zhenzhou and Ningdu Prefecture are both the tasks of your first division. If one qiē is smooth enough, it is nothing to take down Nan'an Mansion in the west of Zhenzhou. Geng Jingzhong began to assign tasks.

"Yes! Mission completion guaranteed! Jiang Yuanxun immediately stood up and assured loudly.

"The second division belongs, Fang Dahong, Wu Anbang!"

"The subordinates are here!" The two brigade commanders of the Second Division replied loudly.

"You have only one task, that is, to take Jianchang Mansion, and then stick to Jianchang Mansion, and you must not lose! There is no confidence to do it! Geng Jingzhong asked in a deep voice.

Fang Dahong and Wu Anbang were overjoyed, this Jianchang Mansion is an extremely critical part of the overall plan, and the Jianchang Mansion is a little further west to Fuzhou, but the imperial court has more than 10,000 troops in Fuzhou, and it can't defend the Jianchang Mansion, and the plans behind it are all in vain. "Guaranteed to complete the mission!" The two of them held their chests high, and the happy looks were all on their faces.

"The most important city in Jianchang Mansion is Nancheng County, which is the only way for Fuzhou to enter Jianchang, so you must be as firmly as a nail to buy time for the army to take down the other prefectures and finally assemble. So your task is still very heavy! Well, there is also a Guangxin Mansion at the end! ”

"Governor, our cavalry division hasn't been arranged yet! The last general will take the initiative to ask Ying to take Guangxin Mansion! Bai Xianzhong listened to the arrangements of the first and second divisions, and they had not moved, so he interjected anxiously.

"Huh. General White. As the commander of an army. You have to keep your head level at all times! Isn't that up to you? Geng Jingzhong said with a smile, then put away his smile again, and ordered in a deep voice: "The cavalry division listens to the order." ”

"The last general!" The commander of the cavalry division, Bai Xianzhong, and the two brigade commanders immediately stood up and prepared to receive the order!

Geng Jingzhong also stood up at this time, walked to the map of Guangxi behind him and said: "The task of the cavalry division is not to attack the city, and there are not many plains in Guangxi and the four prefectures bordering our Fujian for large-scale cavalry to gallop. Therefore, the task of the cavalry division is to make full use of your strengths and rush thousands of miles to attack Ji'an and Fuzhou in the interior of Jiangxi with high mobility. As I said earlier, I don't want you to attack the city. But it is necessary to make a siege posture. You have 6,000 men, just two brigades, each responsible for a target, and they will surprise them outside the city and feign a siege, so that they will think that the target of our Mawei army is them, so that they will not dare to act rashly. ”

"Yes! Mission completion guaranteed! With that, the three of them sat down again. But Bai Xianzhong then asked out loud: "Governor, if the defenders of Ji'an Mansion and Fuzhou Mansion go out of the city to fight, what should it do!" ”

"Well, this is a good question, these two prefectures have placed more than 10,000 soldiers and horses. Strength. But after all, they are overwhelmingly infantry, and they are too slow. And there weren't many fast enough cavalry, they didn't have many. Therefore, under normal circumstances, they do not dare to fight, if they do go out of the city, then it depends on your ability! Of course, if the whole army is dispatched to attack Jianchang Mansion after receiving the news that Jianchang Mansion has been taken by us, you will not be stalked, although the cavalry is sharp, it cannot be hostile to more than 10,000 infantry in the mountains! The cavalry division is a treasure that I have finally set up, and I have to keep you to deal with the real Manchu iron cavalry! ”

"Yes!" Bai Xianzhong responded confidently.

"I was disrupted by you just now, and in the end, there is a very important Guangxin Mansion, no need to look at it, it is the task of your artillery division. The artillery division has been restructured, and although there are not as many artillery pieces as when it was first formed, its mobility has surpassed that of the two infantry divisions, and its overall combat strength has become stronger. This time, Guangxin Mansion does not need all the artillery divisions to be on it, the first half of the four battalions should be fine, Yang Jian, you will be in charge of taking Guangxin Mansion! ”

"Obey the orders of the Grand Governor!" Yang Jian also stood up, raised his head and said confidently.

"The combat experience of Guangdong tells us that when attacking a city, the most powerful weapon is artillery. I left four battalions of the artillery division behind, and these four battalions were used to assist other troops in the siege of the city. But half of these four hard ones will be allocated for the defense of the second division after taking Jianchang Mansion, I am not worried about any problems with taking Jianchang Mansion, and the Fuzhou side may not necessarily be dispatched by the whole army, but we can't take this risk and allocate two artillery battalions just in case! Geng Jingzhong pointed to the location of Nancheng County on the map and said.

"The remaining two battalions are still assisting the first division, and the first division wants to take Zhenzhou and Ningdu Prefecture at once, although it can be done if the troops are divided, it is better to concentrate on crushing them strongly. First go down to Ningdu Prefecture, and then go straight west to take the northern part of Zhenzhou, cutting off the connection between Zhenzhou and Ji'an Province. As for the southern part of Zhenzhou, hehe, it is all under the siege of our Fujian and Guangdong, so it is difficult for the defenders to fly! Maybe they don't need to fight at all, they will take the initiative to surrender! ”

"Everyone understands the order of the Grand Governor, if there is no problem, they will disperse and prepare to go, and they will officially set off in three days!" At the last moment, Li Guangdi gave the order to prepare their own preparations, and the generals immediately set off to go back to work.

Going out on an expedition is never a simple matter, it is not a simple gathering of soldiers, and it is necessary to bring a large amount of military supplies. At the same time, they sent people to the Finance Department of the General Logistics Department to collect money and food, to the Ordnance Department to prepare weapons tents, to the Ministry of Health to receive medicine for wounds, and to the Ministry of Transportation to arrange carriages.

Compared to all the preparations that had to be made, assembling soldiers was the easiest one. The soldiers are easy to assemble, as long as they give an order, all the soldiers can immediately gather in one place, such as the large school field, outside the city gate, and so on. But these things need to be carried by the soldiers, sorted out, and so on. Fortunately, the various units were already familiar with doing these things, and the commanders of the various units immediately issued various orders in an orderly manner after returning to the camp, and the soldiers of the various units also became busy in an orderly manner

Nanchang, Jiangxi, as the capital of Jiangxi, is indeed much more prosperous than other prefectures and counties. For Nanchang, Geng Jingzhong's impression is very limited, but he remembers one, there was a king of Ning in the Ming Dynasty who was in Nanchang, and the story of the rebellion of Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, was widely spread in later generations, and the most famous is "Tang Bohu points autumn fragrance"! Although there was no King Ning in Nanchang 150 years ago, the capital of Nanchang is still very prosperous.

There is almost no influence of Wu Sangui's rebellion here, the people in the city are still living their lives happily, and those who can be worried are those officials and generals in the upper echelons, and the others are too lazy to worry about this! Because Wu Sangui strongly attacked Hunan and stepped up the capture of Sichuan, the Qing army deployed defenses along the Yangtze River under the leadership of Yue Le, and strategically retreated, fighting and retreating, preparing to fight with Wu Sangui on the Yangtze River. And Jiangxi was handed over to his cousin, Prince Jane, who was not a gentleman, but he was not talented. But as a child of the royal family, he is the most trusted by the imperial court at this time, and it is natural for him to command the army.

Rabu's deputy, Dingnan General Hilgen, was a ruthless character, and Hilgen led the army to fight in the east and west when Huang Taiji had just established the Great Qing Dynasty, that is, in the first year of Chongde, and his position was completely obtained in exchange for military merits. Of the 30,000 Qing troops who entered Jiangxi, except for 10,000 under the command of Rabu himself, the remaining 20,000 were under the command of Hilgen, but they still needed to obey the orders of the horn. Hilgen did not want to clash with Rabu, so he took the initiative to lead a large army to garrison Fuzhou in case Geng Jingzhong in Fujian.

Originally, according to his meaning, he wanted to lead a large army to attack Geng Jingzhong in Fujian, but now they know that Geng Jingzhong has an army of 50,000, half of which is a naval army, not to mention, the remaining more than 20,000 army and tens of thousands of people in Guangdong, that is to say, Fujian has less than 20,000 infantry troops at this time, and their 30,000 troops have entered Fujian. The reason why he thinks this way is actually supported by his habitual thinking. More than ten years ago, he did not fail to see the armies of King Jingnan and King Pingnan, and in his eyes, those armies were as vulnerable as chickens and dogs.

Although he repeatedly asked for help, Yue Le still did not agree. Yue Le's consideration of the problem was more far-reaching than what he was, the 20,000 people of the Fujian army were able to completely take over the entire Guangdong in just one month, and its combat effectiveness was really not to be underestimated. The main purpose of sending these 30,000 people was not to eliminate Geng Jingzhong, but to intervene in the middle to prevent Wu Sangui from uniting with Geng Jingzhong, which he could predict. When the 30,000 army is attacking Geng Jingzhong with all its might, Wu Sangui behind him will definitely take the opportunity to insert a knife, and when the time comes, it is not to steal chickens or to lose a handful of rice!

What's more, Fujian is not so easy to fight, the Fujian army has good combat strength, and there are a lot of people, and it is necessary to defend a few dangerous passes, even if you let Hilgen lead a large army to attack, you will not be able to take it for a while. As long as the imperial army engages Wu Sangui, they will immediately rush into Hunan from Jiangxi, disturb the rear of the Wu army and cut off Wu Sangui's retreat, and then the Wu army will inevitably be in turmoil. As for Fujian in the east, they swallowed Guangdong, and it will take a while just to digest this place, plus they have to stay behind to fight with Sun Yanling in Guangxi, to guard against invasion and defend the place, and their own troops are already insufficient, and it is impossible to raise troops to invade Jiangxi. (To be continued......)
