Losing You Shilu is equivalent to losing the foundation of the You family's army.

The money, food, and army that You Shilu used as a warlord all disappeared at the moment of You Shilu's death.

When the generals learned that the commander was dead, they scattered one after another.

They completely disobeyed You Gongji's orders and ransacked Pengze, Jiande, Dongliu, Anqing and other areas.

The most outrageous thing is that the guards of Anqing and the Ming army who came to support Anqing actually followed and ransacked the surrounding areas, and then were charged with the head of You Jiajun.

The unorganized and undisciplined You Jiajun met the organized and undisciplined southern soldier Huang Binqing's troops in Tongling and was defeated by Huang Binqing.

Huang Binqing found the documents of collusion between Qian Qianyi and You Shilu in a pile of documents, and was so frightened that he hurriedly burned them.

Because Tongling is very close to Chizhou, Fang Guoan, who guards Chizhou, is now Ma Shiying's person.

The general soldiers of the You family army were so unscrupulous that one person was angry.

It was Hui Dengsang who was angry.

But he didn't get mixed up because the general soldiers of all walks of life didn't listen to orders, but because he had been protecting You Gongji and falling behind.

Whitden was furious: "Since the moment of the rebellion, Lao Tzu has never lived as well as he does today, and he can't even mix leftovers with leftovers after him." In a fit of anger, he took his troops to break away from You Gongji.

You Gongji became a loner, with only thousands of soldiers around him.

You Shilu looted everywhere, using the looted materials to entrap and corrupt his subordinates.

The people who have been cultivated are all mercenary, how can they read You Shilu's good.

You Gongji couldn't control the Chinese army, there were only thousands of soldiers and horses left, and it was impossible to go east, so he had to lead the army to retreat.

Fang Guoan, who was guarding Chizhou, looked confused, he was ready to defend to the death.

I didn't expect You Jiajun to retreat so easily, and hurriedly sent someone to investigate.

After investigating, I learned about You Shilu's death and You Gongji's inability to control the Chinese army.

Fang Guoan hurriedly passed the news to the Hongguang regime.

Emperor Hongguang and Ma Shiying celebrated each other, and the great scourge finally died.

Then, they got a bombshell news, and Yang Chengying was dispatched.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, on the same day that You Gongji arrived in Chizhou Mansion, Yang Chengying led his army to the south.

In order to complete the important task of pacifying the south of the Yangtze River, Yang Cheng should dispatch the cavalry of the Mongolian tribes to the south when he was resting in the north of the Yangtze River.

The Tumut, Chahar, Wengniut, Karaqin and other divisions totaled 132 auxiliary leaders and 50,000 cavalry.

In other words, Jiangbei not only had 60,000 troops from Wu Sangui and Yue, but also 50,000 cavalry.

plus Yang Chengying's mountain division and Li Dingguo, who was preparing to land on Guangzhou from the south, a total of 130,000.

This is just a soldier, and there are corresponding auxiliaries, which is not too much to describe with the words "soldiers pressing the realm".

Yang Yufan, who had been squeezed by Yue Zhi to the area south of Huai'an Mansion, bore the brunt of the attack by Yue Zhi and was completely annihilated.

To the west, Wu Sangui led his army south to capture Xuyi and surrounded Zhu Xianzheng, who came to the rescue.

Yang Chengying heard that Zhu Xianzheng resisted to the death and refused to surrender, so he admired it and sent someone to surrender him again, but he still refused. Look at the book

"It's interesting, who did Zhu Xianzheng mix with before, so tough."

Yang Chengying listened to the messenger's return and appreciated it more and more.

"It is rumored that he was a subordinate of Gao Jie, who was also from the peasant army before, and was later assigned to Gao Jie's command by Sun Chuanting."

Bahana introduced: "He was supposed to run with Li Chengdong, but he didn't expect to go and return halfway and be caught by our army."

"Oh." Yang Chengying nodded.

Zu Kefa on the side said: "Your Highness, Zhu Xianzheng has just this bit of soldiers and horses, we don't have to be afraid at all, we will wipe out his entire army in an instant."

He thought that Yang Chengying was hesitant to continue to recruit Zhu Xianzheng.

But Yang Chengying thought that it had nothing to do with this matter, Yang Chengying said: "Zhu Xianzheng suddenly returned, it should be received by someone

This person is really capable."

"Whoever brought him back, the moth made up the fire." Bahana said, "Your Highness, let's make up your mind."

Yang Chengying touched his forehead and said helplessly, "Okay, you can only destroy it on the spot."

"Ordered." Zukefa got up and took his leave.

Yang Chengying asked Bahana again, "Where did Li Chengdong and Li Benshen flee?"

"Li Chengdong is in Guazhou, and Li Benshen is in Taizhou." Bahana replied.

Yang Chengying listened, got up and went to the map, thinking about the problem while looking at the map.

The generals waited quietly.

A moment later, Yang Chengying ordered all the armies: "Order Yue Cheng to lead the army to attack Taizhou, be sure to kill Li Benshen, and our army will attack Yangzhou Mansion to the south." In addition, he ordered Shi Lang to lead the navy across the Yangtze River to defeat the naval division to the south."

With the issuance of his order, the entire Liaodong Army quickly became operational.

After eliminating Zhu Xianzheng, the army continued south along the Grand Canal and went straight to Yangzhou.

Yue Xuan was also sweeping the remnants of Yang Yufan, and at the same time marched towards Taizhou.

What is Hongguang doing in such a critical time?

He's in a beauty pageant.

Emperor Hongguang drafted in the Yuanhui Palace, and it was Qian Qianyi who presided over the beauty pageant.

Qian Qianyi brought the emperor 17 Nanjing ladies and 50 Zhejiang maids, and Emperor Hongguang selected two.

That's why Ma Shiying hates Qian Qianyi so much, but he can't kill him, because Emperor Hongguang needs him.

On the 17th, the Gao Jie troops who fled from Jiangbei gathered in Guazhou and grabbed the boat with the family members of the Gao Jie Department who stayed in Guazhou.

The fleet formed by 4,000 southern soldiers and 6,000 Fujian soldiers from Fujian received orders from Emperor Hongguang and Ma Shiying to blockade the river defense and not allow the troops to cross the river.

Because they were worried that the rout would be mixed with the soldiers of the Liaodong Army, and they would lurk in the south and play a role at a critical time.

The general soldiers of the Navy Division are not good at fighting, and they bully the people one by one. Indiscriminately, he ordered all civilian ships at the Kuazhou Ferry to be sunk by artillery fire.

A large number of soldiers and their families, as well as refugees who fled to Kuazhou, died in the middle of the river.

But this is obviously Emperor Hongguang thinking too much.

On the 18th, Shi Lang led ships suitable for inland river operations to the Yangtze River, and attacked the naval camp in the north and south of the Yangtze River.

Under the naval blockade, Jiangbei and Jiangnan were cut off.

Why did the rest of Gao Jie's troops cross the river, instead of staying in Jiangbei and relying on the rich Yangzhou Mansion to resist?

This is a retribution and a retribution, and the retribution is unpleasant.

In order to intimidate the people of Yangzhou, Gao Jie not only ransacked the local countryside, but also dragged women around the city to humiliate them.

As soon as the people of Yangzhou heard that the rest of Gao Jie's troops were stationed outside Yangzhou, they all sternly refused.

The local gentry who were brutally murdered would rather let Yang Chengying enter the city to divide the land, rather than let the rest of Gao Jie's troops enter the city.

Yang Chengying only dealt with the big landlords, and adopted a policy of redemption for the land of the middle landlords, while the rest of Gao Jie was to eat and shovel the pot, leaving no grain.

The refusal of Yangzhou City to take them in, coupled with the shelling incident, directly led to Yang Chengzu, one of the six general soldiers of Gao Jie's remaining army, begging the Liaodong Army to surrender on the 19th.
