Under the city of Nanchang, the Ming army finally made a posture of attacking the city.

The iron cannons placed on the eastern hill began to bombard the city.

What you do, everyone sees. Zheng Zhilong's inaction and He Tengjiao's malaise made Zhai Zhe the core of several major factions in the Southern Ming Dynasty. Prestige may bring a threat, but Zhai Zhe is like a boat sailing against the current at the moment, and if he doesn't advance, he will retreat. From the moment he recovered Jiangnan and captured Duoduo, everything was doomed.

Zhai Zhe left Nanchang with his front foot, and Jin Shenghuan's envoy arrived at the foot of Jiujiang City.

The Ming army in the south of the Yangtze River regarded the Jiujiang defenders as nothing, and was pursuing the Qing troops in Ruichang through Jiujiang City.

The envoy was extremely humble here, and when he saw Zhai Zhe, he immediately knelt on the ground: "General Jin is willing to serve the general, and I beg to meet the general." ”

Zhai Zhe was even more surprised, Jin Shenghuan wanted to see him. To descend or not to descend, what does it have to do with seeing him? She is not a stunning beauty, can she still make Jin Shenghuan fall in love at first sight?

As long as he captures Jiujiang and leaves Zheng Zhilong to besiege Nanchang, Jin Shenghuan's failure to surrender will have no impact on the overall situation of Huguang. Zheng Zhilong will not be able to get the Gannan and Guangdong he wants if he does not capture Nanchang, he has mastered the government, so he has the initiative.

Of course, if Jin Shenghuan retreats to Huguang with the Qing soldiers, it will still be a big trouble. But then Jin Shenghuan will also lose his own territory. Zhai Zhe is also a military general himself, and he knows what the general's greatest expectation is. He limited his power to the generals in the Ming Dynasty, Fang Guoan still got Wuhu and Chizhou, and Wang Zhiren ate in the wealthy Wusong. The Qing court had Jurchens or civilian officials in various places to monitor military generals, which was worse than in the Southern Ming Dynasty. The Qing court did not trust them, the Ming army who had just surrendered, but valued Han Chinese such as Kong Youde and Geng Jingzhong, who had already joined the Eight Banners.

He pondered for a moment and agreed, "Okay, where can I see General Jin?" ”

"I would like to see you in Meiling"

Meiling is in the north of Nanchang City, with a radius of nearly 100 miles and is full of mountains and forests.

Zhai Zhe nodded slightly and said, "Okay"

The messenger was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly agreed: "Two days later, General Jin and the adults will each lead two hundred cavalry to meet in Wanli Town at the foot of Meiling."

"I will let King Yanping suspend the siege for a few days."

Zhai Zhe's every word was not said casually, and his order was showing his identity as a general of the Ming Dynasty

Zheng Zhilong has no interest in the center of the Ming Dynasty, which saves him a lot of trouble. After Huang Daozhou was driven out of the center, the influence of the Min people in the imperial court gradually declined, such as Zhang Kentang, the secretary of the ministry, and several others were like fire and water with Zheng Zhilong. Zheng Zhilong wanted the position of governor of Fujian and Guangdong, and he had to rely on his support.

"Thank you, General"

The messenger and the messenger departed at about the same time.

Zheng Zhilong unknowingly became the best footnote to set off Zhai Zhe's prestige.

The reason why Zhai Zhe chose to cooperate with Zheng Zhilong and divided the ripe peaches with Zheng Zhilong many times was precisely because Zheng had never expressed interest in the center. Up to now, what Zheng Zhilong wants is still only the governor of Fujian and Guangdong, not to repel Jin Shenghuan and occupy Jiangxi.

This man will not be his opponent.

Although the Zheng clan is as powerful as a lion tiger, the Zheng clan does not have the determination to become the king of the Ming Dynasty.

The scout battalion marched towards Meiling to check the terrain and movements around Wanli Town. Ten years ago, Zhai Zhe could enter the Naturalization City alone, and ten years later, as the general of the Ming Dynasty, he would not take such a senseless risk again. He is no longer young, and in another year, he will be the age when Lu Gong died.

"Thirty-nine years old, Yue Fei and Lu Xiangsheng both died this year."

Thinking of this, Zhai Zhe had a strange idea for no reason, and he attached great importance to his own safety. He can't imagine that Yue Fei and Lu Xiangsheng died in vain like back then, so he had to do his best to solve the crisis in the court.

Zheng Zhilong was unwilling to storm Nanchang City, and immediately stopped after receiving Zhai Zhe's letter.

Nanchang City and Jiujiang City were quiet for two days, and the Ming army set up artillery outside Ruichang City to attack the city. There is a water army to control the Yangtze River waterway, and Zhai Zhe is not afraid that the defenders of Jiujiang City will go out of the city to cut off the grain route.

Two days passed in a flash, and Zhai Zhe led two hundred cavalry to Meiling.

Between Nanchang and Meiling are plains, since the Ming army in Jiujiang Deng6, most of the people here fled into the mountains of Meiling, leaving only some old and weak to guard their homes. Along the way, there were elite scouts to receive the report, and Bao Guang led 3,000 personal guards to follow and respond thirty miles away.

Wanli Town is backed by the foot of Meiling Mountain, a sparse forest obscures the view from the outside, and beyond is a misty plain.

There were already scouts who investigated Wanli Town first, and Zhai Zhe and the others stopped more than ten miles away from Wanli Town.

After a while, a column of cavalry came out of it, and at the end of the team was a banner with the word "gold".

The two columns of cavalry stopped at a distance of one mile from each other, and Zhai Zhe saw a knight on the opposite side coming up, and he also urged his horse up.

The war horse walked very slowly, and the two of them approached almost in the turtle, both secretly guarded.

Thirty paces apart, Jin Shenghuan dismounted and bowed: "General"

Zhai Zheneng really came here to see him, which gave him confidence. Zhai Zhe can value him and is willing to surrender him.

"Mr. Kim"

Zhai Zhe dismounted, he was half a head taller than Jin Shenghuan.

"Please"

Jin Shenghuan looked at Zhai Zhe carefully, the general of the imperial court was heroic, although he came to meet him, he did not show his special enthusiasm.

"Wanli Town, let's not enter" Zhai Zheli remained where he was, "I have long admired the name of General Jin Bing, I know that General Jin is also a man, so I can give a word, whether to continue to be a slave to the Qing Dynasty, or to return to the Ming Dynasty." ”

Zhai Zhe's tone was leisurely, "Jiang Ting, Wang Yongqiang and others have all raised troops in the north, Zhang Tianlu and Yang Shouzhuang have also gone anyway, this world is still the world of the Han people after all." ”

"I'm willing to shave anyway, it's just ......" Jin Shenghuan is waiting for the price to sell.

He was so cold to Luck Dehun in Jiujiang, in fact, he had cut off his retreat.

"The world is so big, is General Jin still afraid that he will not be able to be rewarded for his meritorious service?"

Zhai Zhe cut off his words, his attitude was very clear, if Jin Shenghuan had the heart of self-reliance, he would rather let Zheng Zhilong besiege Nanchang for a long time, if he could bow down under his command, of course he could be under the tent. There is no evidence, and the army is used as proof that this place in Nanchang is to be handed over to Wan Yuanji, which is his agreement with the Zheng family. Jiujiang belongs to him, Gannan belongs to Zheng, and Nanchang is in the center as a buffer.

"General,......" Jin Shenghuan didn't know how to make a bid.

Zhai Zhe didn't make a clear promise, but he still gave a hint and said: "General Jin raised troops to follow me to defeat Luckedhun, are you still afraid of the day when you will not be crowned a prince?" ”

Both of them are people who understand.

The Water Margin said that Yang Zhi wanted to go to Liangshan and kill someone first to vote for his name, and Jin Shenghuan cut his braids and changed his banner and wanted to continue to entrench in Jiangxi, there was no possibility.

"Plotting against Luckedhun"

Jin Shenghuan had a flash of inspiration in his mind.

Zhai Zhe looked at him with blazing eyes.

"The last general is willing to lead the troops and horses of the headquarters to the north"

Jin Shenghuan finally bowed his head.

Zhai Zhe's failure to dismantle his soldiers and horses is his final bottom line. No matter which side he is, he is the only general soldier who can lead this army, and in comparison, he can get more by serving the Ming Dynasty.

Nanchang City was not in a hurry to cut the braids and change banners, and Jin Shenghuan personally led 10,000 soldiers and horses to the north.

When Zhai Zhe returned to the camp in Jiujiang City, Zuo Ruo came to say: "Luck Dehun withdrew from Ruichang City this afternoon and retreated to Wuchang Mansion. ”

There are countless eyes and ears of Qing soldiers in Nanchang City, He Yanzhi has eyeliner in the General Soldier's Mansion, and after hearing that Jin Shenghuan went out of the city to meet Zhai Zhe, Lucke Hun retreated to Wuchang like a frightened rabbit.

Jin Shenghuan returned to Nanchang, ordered to cut the braids and change the banner, and led the army to withdraw from Nanchang City. Zheng Zhilong and Wan Yuan Ji led the army into Nanchang, and this credit was deserved by the Zheng family.

The squires of Jiangxi cut off their braids, and here, Zhai Zhe did not continue to investigate the responsibility of the squires of the Qing Dynasty. Jin Shenghuan handed over Jiujiang City to Zhai Zhe and led 40,000 soldiers and horses to march to Wuchang Mansion.

The Ming army's recovery of Jiangxi was as smooth as imagined, and Zhai Zhe ordered Zuo Ruo to be the vanguard, and the governor Fang Guoan and Zhang Tianlu and Jin Shenghuan walked together.

After the defeat of the Qing army and the naval division, Jin Shenghuan was anyway, it had become a situation of encircling Jiujiang Mansion from Jiujiang, Changsha and Nanchang on three sides, and it was useless for Luck Dehun to stay in Jiangnan again, so he led the army to abandon Wuchang Mansion and cross the river into Chengtianfu and return to Jiangbei.

Wuchang, Jingzhou and Xiangyang are like the triangle of Huguang, such as Wuchang in Jiangbei, which can still be guarded. After the loss of Jiangxi, Wuchang was like Nanjing City in the south of the Yangtze River that day, and lost the value of guarding. Jingzhou and Xiangyang were both important towns in Huguang, and the strong walls there would be the largest barrier for the Qing army.

The Ming army finally entered the Huguang territory, and it was not only Hong Chengchou and Le Kedehun, the governors of Huguang in the Qing court, who were troubled, but also He Tengjiao, the governor of Huguang in the Ming Dynasty.

After recovering Wuchang, Yao Qisheng urged the Jiangnan Governor's Mansion to transport grain, grass and ammunition to prepare to cross the river to fight.

Zhai Zhe has been in Nanchang Mansion for a few days, and at this moment he finally has the leisure to exchange cups with Zheng Zhilong and Wan Yuan Ji. The Jiangnan shape has been decided, the Huguang Battle has begun, and his cooperation with the Zheng clan has come to an end. The Zheng clan needs time to run Guangdong, and there are 10,000 soldiers from Guangdong in Nanchang City who will become Zheng Zhilong's pawns.

Yang Tinglin came to meet Zhai Zhe, he was an old man next to Lu Xiangsheng, who had a high prestige among the scholars, and was a good friend of Huang Daozhou.

Zhai Zhe claimed to be a student of Lu Xiangsheng, so he gave Yang Tinglin a flat salute.

Yang Tinglin was famous for his direct advice when he was in Beijing, and he met unceremoniously and asked: "Does General Zhai really want to inherit Duke Lu's last wish?" ”

Zhai Zhe's answer has a profound meaning, "It is our responsibility to drive away the Tartars and recover the northern border." ”

"Then General Zhai shouldn't sit in the position of a general, this is the way to find trouble." Yang Tinglinji, "After General Zhai recovered Huguang, he should resign as a general." ”

Zhai Zhe smiled silently.

Yang Tinglin still has the same temper as before, cute and hateful. What he used to do to Yang Sichang, how he will treat Zhai Zhe today.

Have you ever seen a hungry tiger spit out fat in its mouth?

In the near future, he will go to the opposite side of these friends. The scholars expressed their expressions intentionally or unintentionally, making him more and more sure of his next plan. The battle of the Northern Expedition must be poured into the south of the Yangtze River, if he can't ensure that the back road is worry-free, how dare he go out.
