Captain Wang Hongli left a small team of the Luan team of the Hantang Group, and left two teams of the Zheng Jiajun army, so that they could directly take charge of this place.

For those two antagonists, Captain Wang Hongli didn't have the time to deal with them, so he locked them up first, and then waited for the Hantang Group to send administrative personnel to deal with them and solve the parties, so he grasped the main contradiction.

It's that group of people can't be disbanded, let's organize and work, pull the weeds first, and then clean up the house or something, the officials arranged by the Tartars here are Han Chinese, and now I don't know where to run, the whole family runs.

Fortunately, there are still some materials in the warehouse in Xiangtan City, which is enough to toss around.

As long as order is ensured, the people can do whatever they like, and they don't care.

Order is one of the fundamental requirements for human existence.

When Captain Wang Hongli finally arrived at Changsha City with his team, Captain He Ma Xiang personally greeted him.

The two went into Changsha City together to take a look, and Captain Wang Hongli saw a ruined wall, damn, it's really gone!

This is really a devastating disaster, where can you still see the style of Changsha City, one of the original four rice markets and one of the four major tea markets?

Changsha is the birthplace of Chu civilization and Hunan Chu culture, is the only city in the history of the Ming Continent that has experienced 3,000 years and the historical site remains unchanged, really, there are more than 3,000 years of history that can be examined, because of the influence of Qu Yuan and Jia Yi, it is called "the hometown of Qu Jia", also known as "the famous city of Chu and Han".

But now walking on the main street, traces of the fire burned a few years ago can still be seen.

When Captain Homer led the fleet to Changsha, they were also bloodless, and before they could get ashore, the Tartars and their resistance were all gone, and not a single shot was fired, not a single shot was fired.

Captain Wang Hongli and Captain He Maxiang walked along the edge of the Xiangjiang River with the guards.

The place where Changsha City is located is the Xiangjiang River valley area, where there are large sandy beaches, sandbanks, etc., whenever the dry season, these continents and beaches are exposed, showing people a piece of sand, especially the sand grows up, the white sand is like frost and snow, this scene is very eye-catching.

But now the water level is high, and it is clear that it is raining upstream.

The river is a little yellowish, and after a short time, some broken branches have floated over.

The two of them looked at Jiang Jing in a daze with their hands behind their backs, and they still want to hit Chongqing all at once?

Unless it's a triple of troops, or a rumor, it doesn't matter!

Captain Wang Hongli slowly talked about his experience in Xiangtan City, if he hadn't arrived one step earlier, it would have been a tragedy, but who was right and who was wrong?!

What a headache to judge yourself!

Fortunately, I don't plan to go into the Xiangxi area yet, that is the real mountainous area, and 100,000 people are afraid that it will be difficult to find each other.

At this time, the sun was setting, and Captain He Ma took off his hat in this sunset, scratched his scalp, and said: "In this way, tomorrow I will send more sailors to help you straighten out, and then, you give me some soldiers, and I will take Wuchang first!" ”

In fact, they were already three days later than the planned requirements, but because the security department of the Hantang Group was planning the operation to recover Guangzhou City, the action requirements for their two teams were reduced, and it was enough to stabilize the important nodes in eastern and northern Hunan and ensure the stability of the southern part of the Yangtze River in Anhui Province and the entire territory of Jiangxi.

Well, Captain Wang Hongli had to agree to his request.

Chongqing, you wait for me, Wu Sangui, you wait for me.

Of course, they all knew that Wu Sangui was not in the Chongqing area at this time.

The Yangtze River Fleet blocked the mouth of the Yangtze River, and it was not that merchant ships were not allowed to pass through, and trade was still possible, as long as it was inspected.

In this way, the commercial exchanges between the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the Sichuan region remain normal.

When Wu Sangui got the latest issues of the Hantang Times and the Fujian Times, he was speechless.

The Hantang Pirate Group has already taken Yueyang?!

At this time, it was already night, he held the kerosene lamp sold by the Hantang Group, and looked at the map of the Yangtze River like a children's ink painting, God, they can take Chongqing City in one step!

He couldn't wait any longer - he put down the kerosene lamp and took a spin in his study!

We must hurry back to the north, don't think about Guizhou, the south is already impossible!

The king of Pingnan is still happy!

But the master's order did not come, where did he dare to move?!

He immediately waved his hand and called in a confidant, asking him to secretly go to greet the generals secretly, and be ready to return north at any time.

Of course, without the master's order, he didn't want to prepare publicly, lest he be informed, this is an extraordinary time.

At this time, he remembered the governor Li Guoying who openly "opposed" him, and couldn't help but sneer, at such a juncture, no one can take care of anyone.

As mentioned above, in 1648, the Tatars formally established the province of Sichuan, and appointed Li Guoying as the governor of Sichuan to preside over the military and political affairs of Sichuan.

When Governor Li Guoying took office, the situation of the Tatars in Sichuan was not very good.

When Sichuan was pacified for the first time, although the great chief Zhang Xianzhong had been killed in battle, there were still hundreds of thousands of people in his remaining army.

Zhang Xianzhong's remaining subordinates Sun Kewang, Liu Wenxiu, and Wang Mingchen occupied southern Sichuan, and the old generals of the Southern Ming Dynasty, Tan Wen, Tan Hong, Tan Yi, Yang Zhan, Liu Weiming, and others occupied eastern Sichuan, and Li Zicheng's remaining troops Xing Shiwan, Ma Chao, Liu Erhu, Hao Shaoqi, Yuan Zongdi, and Li Laiheng echoed each other from afar, and generally formed a confrontation pattern with the Tartars.

But fortunately, the three forces of their three parties are not united, but they still stab each other in the back and do their own hands.

When Governor Li Guoying took office, in February, Tan Hong led his troops to attack Boryeong, but he was defeated and retreated.

He took advantage of the victory to pursue, captured Shunqing, Tongchuan, Mianzhou and other places, recruited Liu Weiming, pacified Long'an, Mianzhou, and Dazhou, and consolidated the colonial rule of the Tatars in western Sichuan.

In 1649, Governor Li Guoying led the army to capture the two cities of Anxian and Zhangming, captured Qushan Pass at night, and occupied Shiquan County.

In 1650, Governor Li Guoying ordered his troops to lead an army to capture the northern Sichuan region.

In 1652, the main force of the rest of the Great Western Army attacked Baoning under the leadership of Sun Kewang and Liu Wenxiu, and the army was lined up for fifteen miles.

In 1654, he screened the governor, and because of his outstanding military achievements, he also served as the secretary of the military department, and the governor of Li Guoying was in power at this time.

At this time, Sun Kewang led his army to capture Chengdu, Chongqing, Kuizhou, Jiading and other places were under the control of the peasant army and the Ming army, and the Tatars were in a very disadvantageous situation in Sichuan.

Just when Wu Sangui was entrenched in the Hanzhong region and was making his own small calculations, Governor Li Guoying had already written to the Tartar court, asking for permission for Wu Sangui to send troops to Sichuan, and also offered advice to first take the fertile Chengdu and Jiading, and defend it, and then capture Chongqing, choke its throat, and then go down the river to pacify Kuiguan, and finally go to pacify Yungui.

Wu Sangui was anxiously waiting for his master's order, because he judged that the south could not do anything, and everything would be opened again when he returned to the north to play the drum again.

He was often frightened by the information in the Hantang Times, although sometimes he did not understand.

For example, the newspaper said, "In addition to the original equipment, the number of new horsepower added in five years is less than one horsepower per capita."

One horsepower? Almost everyone has a horse there?!

They say that there are more than a million people on that island, the gods, more than a million horses??

But those who come to his Hanzhong to do business, he will never allow anyone to harm them, but treat them fairly.

In this way, although he is far away in the western region, he should get no less news than the master in the capital.

But Governor Li Guoying is not like this, he hates the Han and Tang pirate groups to the core, but all the objects of the so-called Han and Tang pirate groups that appear under his rule, as long as he catches those who dare to sell them, he will be killed, and the same is true for the holders, which is clearly an enemy!

How dare they ambush my army of 200,000!

He also knew that the Han and Tang pirate groups controlled Nanjing, an important town on the Yangtze River, but he thought that the pirate group, after all, would return to the sea sooner or later, and they would come ashore, and now they were powerful, but their foundation was still on the island, and sooner or later they would be driven away by their masters!

Of course, we must also be careful that they go up the Yangtze River, so let Wu Sangui rush from Hanzhong to Sichuan as soon as possible, this is the right way, the key is, where does he have this military power?

Concurrently serving as the secretary of the military department? Hehe, this is just an honor from the master, and it's really over-

Therefore, the matter of mobilizing troops must be ordered by the master.

Governor Li Guoying is now calm and calm, waiting for his master's order with peace of mind.

Sure enough, after hearing that the Han Tang Pirate Group had been making trouble for a while, it was safe again.

He is now sharpening his troops and horses, waiting to cooperate with Wu Sangui, so as to settle down Sichuan as soon as possible, he still has a faint expectation in his heart, when Sichuan is settled, if the Han and Tang pirate groups really dare to boldly go deep alone, when they are far away from the sea, I will wait for an urn to catch turtles, wouldn't it be beautiful?

This is an immortal achievement for the master, and I am afraid that Wu Sangui will rob the merit at that time.

Wu Sangui is calm and ambitious, sad, and he can't do without his help.

Governor Li Guoying deeply understood that there is no such thing as perfection in the world.

He is now breezy and calm, and the king of Pingnan is still happy.

The early summer in the city of Guangzhou is exceptionally beautiful.

Not to mention anything else, just say that the kapok is blooming just right!

Kapok was first seen in Jin Gehong's "Xijing Miscellaneous Records": in the Western Han Dynasty, Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, paid tribute to the Han Emperor Beacon Tree, "one zhang and two feet high, one book and three Ke, to the night scene is about to burn", it is said that this beacon tree is the Kapok tree.

Guangzhou people have a special affection for kapok, because kapok has always benefited Lingnan.

They use kapok as cotton wool, make cotton clothes, quilts, pillow pads, the kapok tree is two or three zhang high, cut like paulownia wood, February and March flowers are both grateful, and the core is cotton.

They weave it as a blanket, white as snow, and extremely warm. Moreover, kapok can also be used as medicine, collected at the end of spring, dried, after sorting out impurities and cleaning up, decoction with water, can clear heat and dampness.

At this time, the kapok trees in Guangzhou were widely planted, among which more than ten trees in front of the Nanhai Temple were the oldest.

Every year in March and April, the kapok is in full bloom, and thousands of people come to watch every day, and the scene is lively!

The kapok tree is a fast-growing, strong positive tree species, the crown is always higher than the surrounding tree groups nearby, in order to strive for sunshine and rain, the spirit of kapok and the bright red flower, is known as the hero tree, hero flower.

The first to call Kapok a "hero" was Wang Shang Kexi of Pingnan, who described Kapok in "Kapok Song": "A good hero with a thick beard and a big face, and a strong and high crown!" ”

In this poem, there is a kind of atmosphere and pride of a military general!

When Shang Kexi, the king of Pingnan, looked at the soldiers he had recruited at the cost of the fields on the outskirts of Guangzhou, and ran past the kapok trees, he had a feeling that the faces of those soldiers were redder than kapok!

Of course, shouting slogans while running is even more tiring, and it is a test of lung capacity.

"Defend the fields, defend Guangzhou! The city is in the people, and the city is dead! ”

Pingnan Wang Shang Kexi watched the soldiers running and exercising with satisfaction, making everyone look at his affirmative smile.

When no one was looking, he quietly turned back and asked his brothers in a low voice, "Are you ready to get out of here?" ”
