Mo Qian led the civil and military officials of Yuanzhou to Nanchang City on the 24th day of the first lunar month.

When passing by Fengcheng County, the squires and people of Fengcheng County saw that King Mo was coming, and they didn't dare to open the door and surrender directly.

Fengcheng Zhixian and Fengcheng County were killed by the soldiers sent by Mo Qian to attack as early as the Battle of Qingjiang, and the hot you who killed them were Gong Chengkang, who had just joined the army.

Since the death of the magistrate and the county, it didn't take long for the imperial court to send another magistrate to take office.

However, after inquiring about the situation in Jiangxi, the alternate official immediately excused himself from being sick and could not go to his post, hoping that the imperial court would let him recuperate.

The officials didn't pay much attention to this kind of small city Qipinzhi County, so they didn't urge him anymore.

As a result, I didn't expect this guy to pretend to be sick at home for more than half a year, and when Lu Zhao took down Nanchang City, he had not yet taken office.

At this time, Fengcheng County directly fell into the situation of no parent officials for more than half a year, and the people of Fengcheng did not come to the city officials one by one when they had something, but ran to Zhangshu Town, which they did not want to do, to find the righteous army to help.

When Mo Qian led his troops from Fengcheng, Ding Liang, the chief secretary of Fengcheng, couldn't stand it anymore, so he took the initiative to go out of the city and surrender directly with a group of officials.

In this way, Mo Qian took another city without waste, he picked a Xiucai with outstanding political achievements among the many mayors, wrote a letter of appointment, and asked people to send the letter of appointment to the Xiucai, appointing him as the magistrate of Fengcheng.

After arranging the affairs of Fengcheng, Mo Qian did not stop, and quickly took a boat to the north, and arrived outside Nanchang on the same day.

He entered the city through the Guangrun Gate in the southwest corner, and at the gate of the city, Lu Zhao led the surrendered Nanchang officials to hold a warm welcome ceremony.

At the welcome ceremony, Mo Qian met an old man he hadn't seen for a long time.

He went straight to the old man, bowed deeply, and shouted, "Teacher, the student is polite!" ”

Although Meng Yanqing already knew the facts in his heart, when he saw Mo Qian standing in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a little shocked in his heart.

He said: "The teacher already knew about your rebellion, but I didn't expect my student to be so powerful, it's only been a year and a half, and you are already the king of Jiangxi!" ”

Mo Qian said modestly: "Teacher, the student rebellion was also forced, you were on the scene at the beginning, but now the wood has been completed, the raw rice has been cooked into cooked rice, and it is impossible to go back to the past."

I wonder what the teacher has plans for the future? ”

Meng Yanqing was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Plans?" What can I do, I've become your prisoner now, you want to kill or chop at will! ”

"The teacher laughed, how could the student do such an act of bullying the teacher and destroying the ancestors, the student just hopes that the teacher will also join my camp and do his part to create a new world!"

"You're going to let me rebel with you?" Meng Yanqing said with some surprise.

Mo Qian smiled faintly: "What is the teacher talking about, now there are wars in the world, and I don't know how many people are rebelling, even if the students don't rebel, I'm afraid that other anti-kings will rise up as usual."

Do you know why? ”

"Listen to the teacher!"

"Teacher, today's imperial court has reached the time of terminal illness, let alone Chongzhen, even if any emperor of the Ming Dynasty comes, there is no way to turn the tide, unless there is another heroic figure like Taizu, otherwise the Ming Dynasty will die.

The students have already seen through it, the fall of the Ming Dynasty was only a matter of seven or eight years, and now don't talk about Jiangxi, even if it is Guangdong, Guangxi, Huguang, and Fujian in the south of us.

There are also Shaanxi, Shandong, Nanzhili, Henan, and Shanxi in the Central Plains, and there are several provinces that have not had civil unrest.

These civil riots, as few as a thousand, as many as tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people, think of Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng in the Central Plains, as well as Gao Yingshen, who proclaimed himself the king, which subordinate does not have tens of thousands of horses.

In order to eliminate them, the imperial court continued to increase taxes to the people, and the people of the Ming Dynasty could no longer afford such heavy taxes.

As far as the students know, the taxes in some places have been received for 90 years, what is the difference between this kind of imperial court and the end of the Yuan Dynasty?

The teacher still remembers that when Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was in his hometown today, how many years had the taxes and taxes of Fengyang Mansion been collected, and what the Ming Dynasty did today was exactly the same as Dayuan, how could such a court not cause civil unrest, and how could it not perish? ”

Meng Yanqing, who said this, was speechless.

He didn't know what to do with his brilliant student.

Meng Yanqing sometimes admires his student in his heart, he is only twenty years old, but he has already made a name for himself in Jiangxi.

Thinking about himself again, this year has passed the year of confusion, but he is still just a lonely and unknown seven-rank promoter.

The official position of this pusher was obtained by him by dragging his relationship.

Push officials and push officials, officials with names and no power.

To put it bluntly, he Meng Yanqing has lived to be forty years old, and he is still just a grassroots judicial official, and his main job is to try cases assigned by his superiors, or cases submitted by the people. Although the magistrate has the right to try the case, he does not have the right to convict and sentence, except for the crime of cane, all other culpabilities are not counted by the magistrate, and they need to be reviewed by the superiors.

It is very difficult for this kind of official, who does not have any rights, to deduct some oil and water in a lawsuit.

Besides, even if it is oil and water, it is necessary for the boss to take the big head first, and the remaining small heads are eligible for a share.

What's more, Meng Yanqing has always been honest and honest, and he will not ask the people for bribes, so he is even more unpopular in the officialdom of Nanchang Mansion.

Meng Yanqing originally wanted to finish his two-year term and resign directly to go home to retire, but he didn't expect that he and the officials of the government were all arrested by the soldiers and horses sent by Lu Zhao.

Now he has directly become a prisoner of his own students.

At this time, after Meng Yanqing listened to Mo Qian's words, he said in his heart that it was false not to be shocked.

He glanced at his former student, but at this time, there was a faint sense of a king on his body.

"Could it be? Is he really the chosen one, the future emperor who sweeps the world? ”

Meng Yanqing felt a little short of breath for a while.

He thought about it, and first prevaricated Mo Qian with a reason, and he said, "Mo Qian, do you know where the master's family is?" ”

"I know, the teacher is from Changshan, Zhejiang!"

"It's good to know, if I am with you, the government will definitely know, and the family members of the teacher will suffer at that time!"

When Mo Qian heard it, he thought it was a big deal, he smiled and said lightly: "Teacher don't worry, the student will immediately send someone to Changshan to greet his wife!" ”

When Meng Yanqing heard this, his tone was immediately sluggish!

......

Liuyang County, the south city gate, the defenders in the city slowly opened the city gate, and Feng Zuwang, the magistrate of the county, slowly walked out of the city by taking off his official hat.

Outside the city, Qian Dayou, who had been waiting for a long time, was immediately happy when he saw the city gate open.

Qian Dayou dismounted and walked, led his horse to the city gate, and said respectfully to Feng Zuwang: "Lord Feng, please get on the horse!" ”

Feng Zuwang didn't expect that Qian Dayou really did the thing about leading the horse and falling as mentioned in the letter, and suddenly had a new view of Qian Dayou.

"I am a subordinate, and An can receive such a great gift from the general!"

Qian Dayou laughed and said: "Bear it, stand it, Lord Feng is an honest official, my family has always admired Qing officials and good officials, don't worry, when I go back this time, I will definitely personally recommend the Lord to the Lord Shuai, and the Lord will be reused." ”

Feng Zuwang was not at all happy when he heard this, he was persuaded by the people and his subordinates to surrender to the thief, which made him have the face to educate the people again in the future, and teach the people to be loyal to the court and the emperor.

Feng Zuwang felt that he had already done something that was sorry for his ancestors and the monarch, and now he had to serve in the anti-thief regime again, which made Feng Zuwang even more resistant.

He made up his mind that no matter how much the thieves persuaded him, he would never give advice to the thieves.

With the surrender of Liuyang County, Mo Qian's battle plan for Qian Dayou in advance achieved a perfect ending.

Some subordinates also wanted to persuade Qian Dayou to send troops to attack Changsha Mansion in the northwest again, but this suggestion was directly rejected by Qian Dayou.

He felt that he was only 7,000 men, but there were 4,000 or 5,000 men in the city of Changshafu.

Changsha Mansion is a vast city in the lake, the city is tall, the population is large, Qian Dayou thinks that he can not take Changsha City with his own 7,000 people.

After canceling the plan to attack Changsha, Qian Dayou began to lead his troops to prepare to return home, and sent his own soldiers to send the good news of the victory to Yuanzhou first.

However, after the personal soldiers who delivered the letter arrived in Yuanzhou, they found that the marshal was not in the city, and after asking, they learned that the marshal had taken people to Nanchang.

The soldiers didn't dare to delay, so they hurriedly rode on their fast horses, and they hurried for a while, and finally came to Nanchang Mansion to see Mo Qian, who was already sitting in the Governor's Yamen.

After Mo Qian received Qian Dayou's letter, he no longer had such great joy in capturing Nanchang in his heart, and he said to Qian Dayou's personal soldiers: "Go back and tell Qian Dayou, let him stay there after returning to Yuanzhou, and I will freely order it to be delivered when I turn back." ”

"Yes!"

The soldiers got up and exited the Governor's Yamen, and when they walked out of the door, they saw that the Governor's Yamen was extremely magnificent, which was many times larger than the previous Yuanzhou Mansion's mansion.

The soldiers rested in Nanchang for one night, and had a meal in the evening with several of their old comrades-in-arms, who were all veterans of the second battalion.

Qian Dayou took away the 7,000 men of the second battalion, and the remaining 3,000 people followed Mo Qian to Nanchang.

At the dinner table, everyone drank a little wine, and the old comrades-in-arms told the soldiers how the first battalion attacked Nanchang.

He secretly wrote down the words of his old comrades-in-arms in his heart, and the next morning he got up early, went to the barracks of the second battalion to change horses, and returned to Liling County non-stop for several days, telling Qian Dayou about Mo Qian's reply.

As soon as Yu Changjie, who was beside Qian Dayou, heard that his soldiers had returned from Nanchang, he immediately asked, "When was Nanchang City conquered?" ”

The soldiers replied: "On the 21st day of the first month, Nanchang was breached!" ”

"On the twenty-first day of the first month, isn't that two days earlier than we captured Liuyang?"

When Qian Dayou heard this time, his heart was instantly not calm.

Yu Changjie, who was beside him, also stood up and asked at this moment: "Nanchang City is high and deep, he Lu Zhao is just like us, only 7,000 people, how can he still defeat Nanchang in three days without breaking three cities in a row?" ”

The soldiers replied: "Sir, I don't know, that General Lu used the thunder thunder given by the marshal, the thunder is huge, and hundreds of people can die when thrown out, the defenders of Nanchang are only 3,000 people, and General Lu only used 30 thunderbolts, so they were stunned!" ”

Qian Dayou was also shocked when he heard this, he knew about the thunder, and the handsome man personally tested it in front of them.

That thing is indeed very powerful, but Qian Dayou is used to the war of cold weapons, and the most used hot weapons are those weapons such as firearms and arquebuses that the firearms battalion is in contact with.

Qian Dayou didn't have much interest in those things, he felt that both the musket and the arquebus were too stupid, and they had to be loaded with ammunition after a shot, and the time to reload ammunition was not short, for such a long time, if there was a team of cavalry in the place, I was afraid that after a round of bullets, the enemy would have rushed to him and waved his saber.

So Qian Dayou has always been uninterested in that thing, but now after hearing the power of the thunder, Qian Dayou couldn't help but start to shake in his heart.

He called his own soldiers and said, "The thunder that the marshal gave us, take one out and try it, and see how powerful this thing is!" ”

Soon the soldiers of the firearms battalion who went out with the army brought a thunderbolt, and after telling Qian Dayou how to use it, Qian Dayou directly asked them to light a thunderbolt to see.

The soldier didn't say much, he carried the thunderbolt directly to an open area, and after walking people within a hundred paces, a soldier took the risk of lighting the fuse, and then quickly ran down a slope.

As soon as the people ran out, there was a loud bang, and the ironclad gravel and other objects in the thunder scattered in all directions.

After the smoke cleared, Qian Dayou came to the center of the explosion and saw large and small debris scattered within thirty paces around.

After Yu Changjie watched the scene, he immediately said to Qian Dayou: "General, we can't delay it any longer, we must take Changsha Mansion immediately!" ”

Qian Dayou immediately ordered: "Order the whole army to enter Changsha!" ”

Qian was in a hurry, and the first battalion of Lu Zhao not only captured the four cities required before, but even took one more Nanchang City.

Qian Dayou, who has been in Jiangxi officialdom for a long time, knows very well in his heart, and the other four cities are added together, which is not as important as a city like Nanchang.

Nanchang is the capital of Jiangxi, not to mention the city, the population is still large, and after capturing Nanchang, the pace of the future marshal to dominate the world will quickly go up a level.

Looking at himself again, he only laid down the two cities of Liling and Liuyang, plus a commercial town, which is compared with Lu Zhao, the chief soldier of the first battalion, which is simply pitiful.

Qian Dayou left 1,000 soldiers and horses to guard the two counties of Liling and Liuyang, and he personally led the remaining 6,000 soldiers and horses from Liling, first crossed Zhuzhou, and then walked 60 miles to the northwest, and the army arrived in Changsha City.
