Jiangxi Hukou

Jiang Zhongyuan led three thousand Chu Yong from Wuchang down the river and went straight to Hukou County, intending to enter Fanyang Lake from Hukou and Nanchang City by water.

Lin Qirong, the defender of Jiujiang, also felt that Hukou was the vanguard of the attack on Nanchang, and had long arranged for troops to be ready for battle, and he also used warships to block the interface between the Yangtze River and Fanyang Lake.

Liu Changyou saw that Shorthair seemed to be on guard, and suggested to Jiang Zhongyuan: "My lord, Shorthair is heavily guarded here, and the ship we are on is not equipped with cannons, if we fight on the river, I'm afraid we won't have room for thousands of Chu Yong!" ”

Wu Enze, the commander of the branch standing on the side, also persuaded: "Yes, we are all landlubbers, it is better to abandon the ship and land, and rush to Nanchang in the starry night, so the loss will be smaller!" ”

Jiang Zhongyuan couldn't understand why Shorthair had arranged this line of defense in such a short period of time! Thinking about it, I fell into a trance, and when I heard the words of the two of them, I understood!

Jiang Zhongyuan patted on the guardrail of the boat and said, "Think about it, it only took us a total of one day and one night to get from Wuchang to Hukou, even if Shorthair arrived in Jiujiang before us to report the military situation, it would be impossible for them to arrange this defense line in such a short time." ”

Liu Changyou exclaimed: "My lord is saying that the short-haired guards here have been blocking Fanyang Lake!" What do they want to do? Do you want to fight Nanchang! But I haven't heard of the recent war in Nanchang? ”

Wu Enze has no master of the six gods, and he is very afraid that their movements will be predicted by Shorthair, so he can't help but ask a bunch of questions, "Could it be that there is no place for Shorthair's soldiers?" What do you do with the blockade of Fanyang Lake for no reason? Prevent us from supporting Jiangxi? I had long expected that we would be passing through here by boat. ”

Jiang Zhongyuan shook his head, "We have been fighting against Long Hair, and we don't know much about Short Hair's style of acting, so it is useless to speculate here, since we can't take the waterway, we will go ashore and march." ”

Wu Enze rubbed his hands excitedly, "I have long heard that the short-haired are good at fighting, and the green battalions and eight banners that have been fought all over the country have collapsed, and the 100,000-strong army of Xiangrong has been wiped out overnight, I don't believe that the short-haired can beat Chu Yong, if the adult and the short-haired battle achieve a great victory, it will definitely be able to shake the world, and the emperor will not be entrusted with a heavy task!" ”

Everyone laughed when they thought of the bright prospects, yes, they had no doubt that they could win the battle, and they had been fighting against the rebel army since they Chu Yong became an army.

Liu Changyou seemed to see his bright future, and couldn't help boasting, "Our Chu Yong's most famous battle is the victory of Lingyidu, when Changmao attacked Guilin and slaughtered Quanzhou angrily!" The adults predicted that Changmao would cross the river into Hunan, but Sai Shang'a, Xiang Rong and others did not believe it at all and turned a deaf ear. We rushed to Lingyidu overnight to ambush, sure enough, the long-haired day dawn arrived, this battle killed the puppet king Feng Yunshan, killed more than 10,000 long-haired, the adult was promoted to four levels, if the short-haired out of Jiangxi this time, the position of the governor of these two rivers will definitely not be able to run. ”

Jiang Zhongyuan led the army to land on the south bank of the Yangtze River, took out the map, looked at it, frowned for a while, and said: "We get off the boat in Jiujiang, and we have to go south through Jiujiang County, De'an County, and Yongxiu County before we can enter Nanchang City, but Jiujiang is guarded by Lin Qirong, a short-haired general, if we stay here and wait for the reinforcements sent by the teacher, we may incur a short-haired expedition!" ”

Wu Enze didn't want to stay here and spend time with Shorthair, so he proposed: "We don't have more to gain by staying here, so it's better to go to Nanchang City first and let the reinforcements come to join on their own." ”

"Yes, I also agree with this, lest the shorthair of Jingdezhen capture Nanchang one step ahead of us, then we will not be able to redeem our blame." Liu Changyou always seems to prefer a cautious and prudent approach.

"Report ...... Ladies and gentlemen, Shorthair came from the direction of Jiujiang to the garrison of our army. ”

Liu Changyou asked, "How many people are coming from Shorthair?" ”

"Less than two thousand people!" The scouts had already estimated the number of people.

Jiang Zhongyuan said with a smile: "This short-haired man must have never heard of our Chu Yong's name, and he dared to use less than two thousand people to beat us!" Ladies and gentlemen, do you think we will fight this battle or not? ”

Wu Enze didn't want to think: "Fight!" And play beautifully! We can't let those grandsons in Jiangxi underestimate us, adults take up the new governor of Jiangxi, of course, we have to get off to a good start! ”

Jiang Zhongyuan looked at Wu Enze approvingly, "Yes, Wu Fentong said well, not only to fight, but also to fight beautifully!" ”

Wu Enze touched his head and laughed, as if he was happier to hear the praise of his boss than to win the battle.

Cheng Xueqi, whose name is Fangzhong, is 22 years old and is from Tongcheng, Anhui Province. His family has been farming for generations, lost his mother at an early age, and was raised by the mother of the clansman Cheng Weidong. When the Han army broke through Tongcheng, he participated in the Han army with his brother Ding Ruchang, and was incorporated into the 14th Division of the Seventh Army, the division commander Lin Qirong saw that he was proficient in martial arts and the art of war, so he was promoted to be the battalion commander and stationed in Jiujiang County, Cheng Xueqi was not at ease after arriving in Jiujiang, and attacked the Qing army everywhere, even Zhang Fu, the governor of Nanchang, often heard of his name.

At noon today, Cheng Xueqi heard that a group of officers and soldiers had come to the territory, all of them were short in stature, with dark faces, wearing green cloth shirts and cloth shoes, and they looked like sturdy countrymen. I really want to take this group of rustic villagers for my own use.

Ding Ruchang understood Cheng Xueqi's thoughts, but he didn't know what to do, but he felt frightened, and persuaded again: "Fang Zhong, I think we should go back to Jiujiang County to defend the city, if the division commander knows that we will leave the city with troops without permission, we will definitely be unhappy." ”

Cheng Xueqi didn't care and said, "What are you afraid of!" Do we do less of this kind of thing? That time the division commander didn't verbally criticize a few words, you still take it seriously, think about it, if our battalion can recover the gang of villagers in front, its strength will immediately increase greatly, maybe it can be expanded into a regiment, and I am the regiment commander! Six-grade officials! Brother, we were still troublemakers in the countryside a year ago, and if I returned to my hometown with Liupinding, how lively it would be! ”

Ding Ruchang saw that he was full of confidence and became more and more worried, and privately sent his own soldiers to Fucheng to inform Lin Qirong and ask for support.

When things are done, everyone is happy; If it's messed up, it's good to have a response.

Looking at the high-spirited Cheng Xueqi, Ding Ruchang secretly thought: I hope Fang Zhong doesn't blame me for being troublesome.

Jiang Zhongyuan and Cheng Xueqi wanted to fight, the other wanted to appease, as if they were attracted to each other, they walked in the direction of each other, and in less than an hour, the distance between the two armies was less than a kilometer, and they could clearly look at each other's shadows.

Ding Ruchang rode to Chu Yong's 200 meters and shouted, "My general, please come out and answer the leader, there is something important to discuss!" Now give you a quarter of an hour to think about it. ”

Liu Changyou looked at Ding Ruchang who was returning in wonder, and asked: "What the hell is this short-haired man doing, the two armies have to meet each other, and they have to discuss things, do you want us to let them go?" ”

Jiang Zhongyuan guessed: "They want to surrender in battle?" It seems that he is afraid of us! I'm going to go and see what they want. ”

He does have such self-confidence, in the past two years, he has led thousands of Chu Yong to fight thousands of miles, hundreds of battles, fighting with the same number of enemies, and he has never suffered a loss, just the more than 1,000 people on the other side, they haven't taken it seriously.

Cheng Xueqi looked at the strong man in his thirties in front of him and asked, "You are the leader of this gang of villagers?" ”

Jiang Zhongyuan said: "Not bad! It's the official! ”

Cheng Xueqi said with a smile: "I see that you are poor and can't even afford to wear decent clothes, why don't you take refuge in our Han army, not to mention anything else, soldiers are paid four taels a month, and those who are officials are counted separately!" This is the salary of our Han regular army, what do you think, brother! ”

"Haha......" Jiang Zhongyuan said in his heart that he was originally persuaded to surrender, and when he heard the conditions offered by the enemy general, he couldn't help but laugh loudly.

Cheng Xueqi saw the general opposite smiling, and thought that the matter was done, and said happily: "Brother smiled!" Just agree? You can rest assured that I Cheng Xueqi will never treat you badly, I am now the battalion commander, you will be my ...... first Deputy battalion commander, wait for the division commander's ruling! ”

Jiang Zhongyuan adjusted his mood, put on the governor's shelf, and said kindly: "Your name is Cheng Xueqi?" If you can persuade Jiujiang Shou General Lin Qirong to surrender to me, I will promote you as a staff general and Lin Qirong as a deputy general, what do you think? ”
