The governor of Yunyang has changed again, and his name is Wang Aoyong.

This product is a second minister in history, first arrested by Li Zicheng to torture him, and then Ma Yu defected to Dolgon, and directly became a household servant and a ministry waiter - was killed by Li Zicheng's subordinates.

The first two governors of Yunyang were very good at fighting.

But they had a conflict with Yang Sichang, so Chongzhen thought that they would not fight. Now that Wang Aoyong has been brought to the front line, the situation in Hubei has taken a sharp turn for the worse!

Wang Aoyong was played by Zhang Xianzhong, and he was tired of running for his life, and suffered several defeats in succession.

In the end, he didn't dare to move, Wang Ao shrank in Yunyang, and the rest of the generals shrank in Xiangyang.

Zhang Xianzhong took the initiative to lure him, but the officers and soldiers could not hold out.

"Eight kings, spies report, Jingmen is empty, and Lu'an is also empty!"

Zhang Xianzhong occupied the city of De'an Mansion at this moment and sent spies to inquire everywhere, but his troops on both sides were empty.

Where to go?

The previous governor of Anlu was Shi Kefa, who governed Anqing, Luzhou, Taiping, Chizhou and other places.

Shi Kefa was lucky, only two months after Ding Wei returned home, Fei Ruhe went to fight peace.

Zheng Eryang, the new governor of Anlu, in order to resist Fei Ruhe, transferred all the elite troops in Jiangbei to Taiping Mansion and Wuhu to defend the city.

This is also the reason why Fei Ruhe has been delayed for a long time and has not been able to beat the Taiping Mansion.

What Fei Ruhe faced in Taiping Mansion was the Jiangbei New Army trained by Shi Kefa, and there were also effective governors and prefects guarding the city.

At the same time, the governor of Huguang was also replaced, and the new governor was called Xu Renlong.

The former governor Fang Kongzhi, who trained as a sailor in Dongting Lake, was dismissed and imprisoned just after practicing his achievements.

When Xu Renlong heard that the Jiangxi thieves had attacked the Dongting Lake Prefectures, he immediately transferred the troops along the Hubei River and led the sailors to a decisive battle around the Dongting Lake.

So Zhang Xianzhong was confused, the officers and soldiers of Xunyang were beaten by him and did not dare to come out, and the soldiers of Hubei and Jiangbei all went south to fight Zhao Han. The rest of the officers and soldiers all went to Henan to fight Li Zicheng, and no one took care of him for a while.

Happiness came too suddenly, which made Zhang Xianzhong, who had been surrounded and intercepted for a long time, feel a little uncomfortable.

According to the administrative division of later generations, the entire central and northern parts of Anhui, as well as the central and southern parts of Hubei, Zhang Xianzhong can fight wherever he wants!

"The king, if you don't take it, you will be blamed for it," Liao Zhifang said, "In the current situation, Li Zicheng is in Henan, and Zhao Han is south of the Yangtze River." Jiangbei can't fight, otherwise it is likely to be attacked by the imperial court and Zhao Han in the north and south in the future. Take Jingmen first, take Jingmen as the foundation of your life, and go south to the Yangtze River. ”

Zhang Xianzhong nodded and asked, "And then?" ”

Due to too much change in the world line, Zhang Xianzhong's military division has changed, and a person Liao Zhifang has appeared out of nowhere.

Liao Zhifang pointed to the map and said: "After occupying Jingmen and Jingzhou, send the division all the way east to Huangmei County, and rule the river with Zhao Han. Then to the north, take De'an Mansion, then only Yunyang and Xiangyang are left. No matter what method is used, if the officers and men in these two places are eliminated, they can enter Sichuan without worry. ”

"Zhao thief, the other side of the river is called Hunan, then our side is called Hubei. The king took Hubei as his foundation, and then took the country of Tianfu in Sichuan. In this way, Zhao Han can be rejected in the south, Shanxi in the north, and Jiangbei in the east. While training troops, we should govern the people, recuperate, and wait for changes in the world. ”

"Great idea!" Zhang Xianzhong clapped his hands and said, "Mr. is really my Zhuge Liang." ”

Liao Zhifang said: "It is advisable to dispatch troops quickly, and the opportunity must not be lost. The king, those who plot against the world must not kill innocents indiscriminately, and must rectify military discipline. ”

Zhang Xianzhong nodded and said, "I know that I will not kill indiscriminately in the future." ”

Xu Renlong, the governor of Huguang, ordered the governor of Yunyang to contain Zhang Xianzhong before transferring troops south.

Where to think of it, Governor Xunyang shrank directly.

Zhang Xianzhong's soldiers were divided into two ways, as if entering a no-man's land.

All the way to attack Hanyang, first send the inner Ying into the city, and then the inside and the outside should be combined, and easily take Hanyang.

Zhang Xianzhong's main force made a surprise attack on Yingcheng, and then attacked Jingshan and Chengtianfu.

The officers and soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River are rotten, how much better can the north be?

As long as the imperial army is not there, those cities will be papier-mâché. Historically, even the important town of Xiangyang, Zhang Xianzhong relied on surprise attacks to take it, and the city was also full of materials mobilized by Yang Sichang.

Zhang Xianzhong captured the city while expanding his troops, and in a blink of an eye, his troops exceeded 150,000.

As for the combat effectiveness of those recruits, it's hard to say.

Zhang Xianzhong's four godsons all became heroes of one side, each commanding 20,000 troops, and began to attack in all directions.

Seeing that the thieves were getting bigger and bigger, the officers and soldiers of Yunyang and Xiangyang did not dare to move. They were dragging out time, waiting for Yang Sichang to clean up Li Zicheng, and then all the officers and soldiers came together to encircle and suppress Zhang Xianzhong.

After taking the capital city of Jingzhou, Zhang Xianzhong watched a water battle.

The Jiangxi Water Division, the Dongting Lake Water Division, fought on the surface of the Yangtze River.

Zhang Xianzhong did not have a clairvoyant mirror, so he could only stand at the head of the city and watch the battle with the naked eye.

"It's spectacular." Zhang Xianzhong said.

The surface of the river was densely packed with warships and sails, adding up to three or four hundred boats.

The officers and sailors were all converted from merchant ships, and although there were more of them, there were relatively few large ships. Take an upstream position.

Jiangxi Sailors, there are more large ships, and the overall number is less. Gain the upper hand.

The two sides stood in a cruising formation, and the Jiangxi naval division used artillery bombardment from time to time, all of which were less powerful Franc machine guns.

Zhang Xianzhong observed for a while and asked, "Which side does the military advisor think can win?" ”

Liao Zhifang said: "Jiangxi Sailor won. ”

Zhang Xianzhong nodded and said: "I also think that the Jiangxi Navy Division can win, although the number of warships is less, but the formation is very neat." This didn't go around a few times, and it had already messed up the officers and soldiers of the water division, not to mention that the Jiangxi water division still had artillery. ”

Above the Yangtze River.

Li Hui, the deputy commander of the Jiangxi Navy Division, received the flag order from Gu Jianshan and immediately ordered: "Thunderbolt!" ”

One by one, the paper bags were smashed out by trebuchets and did not hit the enemy ships, and all of them fell on the water.

Just when Zhang Xianzhong was confused, there were bursts of explosions on the river. Those paper packets, which were not ignited, automatically exploded on the surface of the water, not only with the thick smoke formed by wet gunpowder, but also with a lot of dust mixed with lime, chili flour and other substances.

More than 100 paper bags exploded one after another.

Then the catapult was loaded and launched again, and more than 100 paper bags exploded.

Three successive rounds of projectile explosions, blown from the southeast, quickly obscured the battlefield with all kinds of smoke and dust, enveloping the officers and men in the downwind direction.

Zhang Xianzhong couldn't understand it at all, and said dumbfounded: "What kind of demon method is this?" ”

"Quarry Rock Water Battle!" Liao Zhifang exclaimed suddenly.

Zhang Xianzhong asked: "What quarry rock water battle?" ”

Liao Zhifang explained: "King, during the Song Dynasty, the army of 600,000 Jin soldiers went south. At that time, the Jin soldiers had hundreds of warships, and the Song soldiers won with thunderbolts. The bullets fired by the thunderbolts can explode on the water, and the sulfur mixed with lime covers the sky and the sun, just like the situation at hand. ”

"Mr. is really knowledgeable," Zhang Xianzhong sighed with emotion, and then asked, "But why did those things explode when they fell into the water?" ”

"This ...... I don't know. "Liao Zhifang doesn't know how to be tricky.

The Jiangxi sailors had already lowered their sails and rowed far away.

When the local disgust dissipated, and the sail was set again, everyone was covered with gauze, even blindfolded.

"Ahem, ahem......"

The formation of the officers and soldiers of the sailors was completely disorganized, and the sailors were coughing violently, of course, some of the lucky ones were not affected.

"Kill!"

The Jiangxi sailors rushed over and used the hook to hook the local warship.

"Bang bang bang!"

Before he could start jumping, a volley of muskets was fired.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the melee sailors jumped one after another, raised their waist knives and began to charge. The firecrackers also put down their firearms, drew their swords, and jumped over to seize the ship.

Gu Jianshan and Li Hui, the two commanders, naturally could not fight in person, they constantly issued flag orders and commanded Jiangxi warships to surround the enemy ships. Although there are many officers and soldiers and warships, in local battlefields, often one official ship is besieged by two or three Jiangxi ships.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem!"

Xu Renlong, the governor of Huguang, is also a man who can fight.

But at this moment, he was no longer able to command the battle, and the smoke was so thick that he could not see the situation ahead.

"Rush through the smoke, don't retreat, our army is downwind...... Ahem, ahem! ”

The governor rushed forward on the ship, but the flag order issued by the ship could not be effectively conveyed. As a result, the officers and men of the ships, some rushed forward, some retreated, and even collided with each other in pairs.

The smoke was finally blown away by the wind, but Xu Renlong fell into despair.

More than thirty of his warships had been captured, and the rest were all fighting on their own, and some had simply fled two or three miles.

"Dangdang, dang!"

Two Jiangxi warships surrounded him, fixed them with hooks, and attacked Xu Renlong's ship left and right.

"Kill the thief with me!"

Xu Renlong rushed forward with his sword, some sailors followed, some sailors knelt down and surrendered, and some escaped by jumping into the river.

Zhang Xianzhong watched the battle throughout the whole process and was shocked beyond measure. He said: "Command the whole army, give preferential treatment to craftsmen, whoever can make such things, reward him with a thousand taels of silver, and reward him as a great official!" ”

Liao Zhifang sighed: "Zhao Han has such a sharp weapon, and no one on the Yangtze River is invincible. In the future, it will be a water war, and we must also observe the wind direction, and do not be in the downwind direction of the Jiangxi Navy. ”

"yes, you can't fight downwind, it's the same way." Zhang Xianzhong had palpitations.

The officers and soldiers of the Navy Division also thought so, they felt that Zhao Thief knew how to demons, and he had lost his heart to resist because of fear.

Xu Renlong, the governor of Huguang, although he has a strategic belly, is already seventy-eight years old.

He raised his sword and led the crowd forward, his beard was white, and the Datong soldiers couldn't bear to kill. Kick down, then hold down, and give the governor to life.

The flagship of the officers and soldiers was taken, the flag of the governor was lowered, and the rest of the officers and soldiers gave up resistance one after another.

"Haha, this thing made by Song Zhangsi (Song Yingxing) is really useful!" Gu Jianshan shouted excitedly.

It's amazing that the city of Nanjing was frightened by six warships, and the city surrendered directly.

In Taiping Mansion, in the face of Fei Ruhe's army, the officers and soldiers were still defending the city.

On Huguang's side, the governor even took the initiative to lead the sailors to fight, and the defenders of Yuezhou Mansion also resisted fiercely.

Nanjing, the strongest, is the easiest to fight.
