The news of the Ming army's breakthrough of Raozhou was soon spread throughout Jiangxi, and the Qing army everywhere was like a great enemy, or secretly happy in their hearts, secretly preparing to meet Wang Shi, and the Ming army in Guangxin and Jianchang was even more demoralized, and the good news was passed on to the whole army to boost morale.

Also excited is a group of rebels, a group of anti-Qing rebels entrenched in Guixi County, Guangxin Prefecture.

The leaders of this anti-Qing rebel army were Jie Chongxi and Dingnan Hou Cao Dahao, who were once appointed by Emperor Yongli as the secretary of the military department and the right deputy capital envoy and the governor of Jiangxi, and Zhang Zisheng, the uncle of Pingjiang, and Fu Dingquan, the right attendant of the military department and the bachelor of Hanlin.

After the defeat of Jin Li anyway, they led the defeated people to Jianghushan Town in Guixi County, set up a fortress in the mountains, set up camp, and prepared to bring ploughing cattle and seeds to the fields for a long-term plan.

It is worth mentioning that although the Dingnan Marquis Cao Dahao is not much famous in history, his official title is very long, he is "the commander of Zhejiang, Zhijiang, Fujian, the control of the 36th battalion of civil and military, audit the merits of the generals, contact the officials and soldiers, give the python jade Shang Fang sword and manage the food and salary cheap, act and the military department Shangshu, hang the Pinghai General Yin General Commander, the Zhongjun Governor's Mansion, the Shao Bao and the Prince Taibao, and the Dingnan Hou Cao Dahao".

Let's just say, is it long?

Even Su Yan's official position is not as long as his, Su Yan is now just "the governor of Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Fujian and the four provinces of local governor military affairs, concurrently in charge of food and salary and governor's affairs, the secretary of the military department, the secretary of the ministry, the prince and the prince, and the king of Nan'an County", although the number of words is not as much as him, but in terms of real power, Su Yan is naturally superior.

Moreover, there are two governors and feudal officials in this small mountainous area at the same time, and I don't know whether to say that this place hides dragons and crouching tigers, or that the official positions and rewards of the Southern Ming Dynasty are chaotic.

mentioned that this group of rebels is not to compare the number of official titles with Su Yan with some of them, this group of rebels was overjoyed after hearing that Raozhou was recovered, and Cao Dahao immediately wanted to prepare the army and go out of the mountains to attack the Qing.

However, Jiezhongxi, the secretary of the military department, dissuaded him in time, and said to him and the other two officials: "Now that the imperial court soldiers and horses are still in Raozhou, and the Qing army is heavily armed in Guangxin Mansion and Jianchang Mansion, our army's strength is not good, and a rash attack will only lose the soldiers in vain, why don't you wait for the imperial court soldiers and horses to enter Guangxin Mansion before going out of the mountain to respond?"

Jie Chongxi's words were agreed by the other three, but Cao Dahao still decided to order someone to go to Raozhou Mansion to contact the Ming army and find the assistance of the imperial court's soldiers and horses.

Therefore, early the next morning after receiving the news, Jie Chongxi took two guards down the mountain and embarked on the difficult journey to Raozhou Mansion.

……

On the fifth day of the first month of August, after the Ming army conquered Raozhou Mansion, it did not continue to go south, Zhang Mingyang personally wrote a piece of text and sent it to all counties in Raozhou, asking all counties to abandon the darkness and return to the rule of the imperial court.

Perhaps because of the Ming army's successive victories in the southeast coast and the recovery of Nanjing, or perhaps because of the frequent good news after the Ming army entered Jiangxi, the counties rose up one after another, expelled the Qing Dynasty officials, and held high the banner of the Ming Dynasty.

In just a few days, the whole territory of Raozhou except Anren County was recovered, and Anren County was sandwiched between Dongxiang County of Fuzhou and Guixi County of Guangxin, and the soldiers and horses of the two counties could threaten Anren County at any time, so the county did not dare to act rashly.

At the same time, Zhang Mingyang also convened two generals of the first and second targets to discuss the next battle plan with them.

Now there are two roads in front of the Qinglong Right Brigade, the first is to bypass Poyang Lake and take the provincial capital Nanchang Mansion, but Nanchang must be heavily guarded, which is more difficult; The second is to go south to Guangxin and jointly capture Guangxin Mansion with Pingyang Bosu Dingyuan.

After Zhang Mingyang gave these two paths, Zhao Dequan, the first standard staff general, and Wu Enfei, the second standard staff general, both gave their own ideas.

Zhao Dequan said: "Under the standard, it is believed that it is unrealistic to take Nanchang directly, Raozhou has been conquered, and the Qing army will definitely take strict precautions, if it is impossible to quickly capture Nanchang, when the Qing army Yang Jiebu comes back to help, our army will fall into the dilemma of being attacked by the enemy on its back."

"Agree with Zhao Dequan's idea." Wu Enfei echoed: "Our army is equipped with firearms, and we need to act more prudently, and it is best to fight steadily and steadily."

Zhang Mingyang nodded, although he was a little interested in taking Nanchang directly, but also

Knowing that this operation was full of adventures, if it was Su Yan, he would most likely take Nanchang directly, because he was very confident about the strength of the system army under his command, but Zhang Mingyang was different, so he still chose to fight steadily.

So, Zhang Mingyang made a decision.

In order to prevent Xia Yiju, the governor of Jiangxi in Nanchang, from bypassing Poyang Lake and threatening Raozhou, Zhang Mingyang transferred two battalions from Erbiao to stay in Yugan County, and led the army south.

Because the Ming army did not deliberately conceal its whereabouts, the Guangxin Qing army soon received this information, and the Guangxin deputy general Li Shiyuan was greatly frightened, and did not care about the Ming army occupying Yushan County, so he hurriedly led the army to withdraw to the city of Guangxin Fucheng, and fortified the clear field, and sent an envoy to Yang Jie for help.

"Drive—drive—"

In Guixi County, on an official road, a cavalryman wearing a felt hat of the Qing army galloped on his horse, and the whip in his hand whipped the horse's buttocks from time to time, making a violent sound of pop-pop.

At this moment, in the bushes more than ten meters away from him, two figures swayed, one of them looked at the galloping fast horse, nodded with his companions, and then raised the bow and crossbow in his hand, and aimed it at the knight on the fast horse.

In the next second, when the knight entered within ten meters, he heard a soft crack, and the crossbow shot out instantly, hitting the knight's chest accurately, and the knight was caught off guard, and before he could let out a scream, the whole person fell from the horse.

Seeing that the knight had been shot, two of them who were hiding in the bushes jumped up and came to the official road, and one of them quickly grabbed the reins of the horse to prevent it from running away, while the other stepped forward and drew his dagger and made a sharp cut in the throat of the knight who was still breathing, thus ending his life once and for all.

Then, ignoring the look of disbelief in the knight's eyes and the fading light of life, he reached out and groped for the warm corpse, and soon he found an envelope encased in a bamboo tube and a few ingots of broken silver.

"Ah Guang, this should be the messenger of ***, let's go back to the cottage and report to the overseer." The man shouted to his companion who was still calming the horses.

"Let's go."

The latter answered, turned on his horse, rode his horse to his companion, and stretched out his hand to him, who took his hand and leaped up, sat down on the horse's back, and then drove the horse together into the mountains.

After more than an hour, the two finally went back to the cottage and handed the envelope to Cao Dahao with the bamboo tube in it.

That's right, this letter was a letter of request for help sent from Guangxin Fucheng to the Qing army camp outside Jianchang City, but after being ambushed by Cao Dahao's men halfway, this letter for help was destined to not be delivered to Yang Jie.
