044, the strange woman in the canal

Two days later, Mulima led 10,000 XHQ soldiers southward.

After receiving the order, AH and the green battalion in Shandong did not dare to delay, and in accordance with the requirements of the military order, they all rushed to Yangzhou to wait for the arrival of Mulima.

Yes, this time Mulima used Yangzhou as a base camp for counterinsurgency.

Mulima and Aobai analyzed that at this time, it was not safe in JS Province and south of the river.

For the sake of safety, it is most suitable to be placed in Yangzhou.

Moreover, Suzhou Mansion is still in the hands of the imperial court, as long as the army crosses the Yangtze River, it can be used to lock the route of the Taiping army's westward escape and prevent them from flowing to the sea.

As for fleeing west and south?

That is to find death.

To the west and south of Jiangsu are AH and Zhejiang, and the AH Green Camp and Zhejiang Green Camp have long been prepared to lock up all westward escape routes.

In short, this time it seemed that only 60,000 troops fought head-on with the Taiping army, but in fact, several provinces did encircle and suppress together, locking up all the escape routes of the Taiping army, and they could only fight head-to-head with the counterinsurgency army.

Of course, all this was arranged by Aobai.

Although Ao Bai looked down on Zhu Yang and the Taiping Army, he did not underestimate it, and he despised it strategically and attached importance to it tactically.

Another reason is that this time the commander of the troops is his own brother, so naturally he can't make a mistake.

As soon as the Qing Dynasty army moved, the spies arranged by Zhu Yang received the news.

After all, the large-scale transfer of the green camp will definitely not be hidden from others.

However, Zhu Yang has not received the news from the capital, even so, the large-scale transfer of green battalions from several provinces is enough to make Zhu Yang pay great attention to it.

He summoned everyone over and said, "Everyone, there is a big move on the side of the Manchu Tartars. ”

Everyone looked at Zhu Yang.

"According to the information I have received, there have been large-scale transfers of green camps in several provinces around Jiangsu, and it seems that they are moving to Jiangsu, and the target should be us."

Hearing Zhu Yang say this, Xia Huailong said directly: "General, you give me 3,000 soldiers and horses, and I will keep them beating up and." ”

Today's Xia Huailong is very inflated.

He felt that except for Zhu Yang, he was already invincible in the world.

Zhu Yang glanced at him, and said angrily: "Do you think you are invincible in the world, otherwise we will practice?" ”

Xia Huailong suddenly panicked.

He didn't dare to practice with Zhu Yang.

You must know that Zhu Yang gave them a sparring partner in order to familiarize them with his strength as soon as possible.

Needless to say, the end is naturally not much.

The nose and face of the beaten are bruised and swollen.

"Don't dare, don't dare."

"If you don't dare, shut up and listen to Mr. Tinglin's analysis honestly."

Xia Huailong smiled and shut up.

Everyone was not surprised by this.

This Xia Huailong is fierce, even his head is full of muscles, and sometimes he is just brains.

Gu Yanwu thought for a while and looked at Wu Weiye: "Meicun, you talk about it first?" ”

Wu Weiye knew that Gu Yanwu was giving himself a chance, and he didn't shirk.

"General, colleagues, in my opinion, since the green battalion soldiers in several provinces are being mobilized, it shows one point, the leading general must be sent from the Manchu capital, and he must be a Manchu minister, otherwise the Manchu ruler will definitely not worry about so many troops in the hands of one person."

"So now, we have to do two things, to find out the details of the movement of the green battalion soldiers in the surrounding provinces, who the leading general is, and how many troops he brought from the capital, so that we can deal with it."

Zhu Yang nodded, Wu Weiye was right.

If you want to deal with it, you have to find out the information on the other side.

Gu Yanwu added: "While figuring out the intelligence on the other side, we also need to strengthen the preparation of our Taiping army, and I suggest that another 10,000 soldiers be recruited as a backup, just in case." ”

Zhu Yang thought about it and agreed with Gu Yanwu's idea.

Because if this battle is won, the Taiping army can take advantage of the situation to sweep the entire JS province, at least to occupy these state capitals south of the river.

Thirty thousand soldiers is really not enough.

Next, all of them took their own responsibilities and took action.

Zhu Yang had nothing to do, so he raised the golden light, and he prepared to explore the Manchu capital along the canal.

Cross the river, come to Yangzhou, and then go north along the canal on the edge of Yangzhou.

At this time, Zhu Yang suddenly discovered a problem, that is, this canal is like a dragon that runs through the north and south, connecting the dragon veins in the north and south.

The north and south dragon veins are connected, and the north and south dragon qi are connected.

I have to let Zhu Yang admire the courage and wisdom of the ancients.

It is no wonder that the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal has become a very important artery of the imperial court in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

It was even arranged for a special governor of Caoyun to take charge.

Along the entire canal, there are millions of people who rely on this canal for food.

The current governor of Caoyun is named Cai Shiying, and he is a second minister.

That is, he was originally an official of the Ming Dynasty, and later surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so he became a second minister.

To tell the truth, Zhu Yang really wanted to make a vacuum big handprint and raze the entire Caoyun Yamen to the ground.

However, after thinking about it, I still didn't do it.

Zhu Yang was sure that if he did this, he would definitely be approached.

Moreover, at this time, so many Han people under the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, if they wantonly slaughtered Manchu officials, it cannot be ruled out that the Manchu court would be angry with the Han people under their rule.

Just in case, let these dog officials live a few more days for the time being.

All the way along the river to the north, Zhu Yang saw the prosperity of the canal.

However, when he flew to the territory of Shandong, he saw several huge official ships, and the flags were waving southward.

These official ships are the official ships of Mulima.

Although Mulima is a veteran general in the army, he is no longer than before, he is almost fifty years old, and he has long passed the age of highlighting bravery.

Therefore, he asked the deputy general to lead the cavalry of the army to the south, while he himself took the official boat and went straight down the canal to Yangzhou.

The boat ride is not only not slow, but also very comfortable, and you don't have to endure the pain of a long journey.

The rate of corruption and degeneration of the Manchu aristocracy was astonishing.

Mulima is just a microcosm.

Originally, Zhu Yang and Mu Lima might have missed it.

But an unexpected incident made the two of them cover up.

Because Mulima's official ship was extremely fast, and with the flag on it, all the boats in the canal knew that it was the official ship of the imperial court officials, so naturally no one dared to touch his brows, and they were far away.

It's just that, because this guy is unscrupulous, in the end, some boats can't dodge, and they are hit by his huge official boat, and the larger ones are okay, and the hull of the boat is stabilized in front of them, and those small boats are suddenly torn apart, and the fishermen on the boat fall directly into the water, embarrassed.

Instead of saving people, the men on Mulima's boat looked at them and laughed.

Zhu Yang originally wanted to help and teach the people on this official ship a lesson.

But before he could make a move, he saw a handsome woman in black coming from the shore, and in just two or three strokes, all the people who fell into the water were rescued to the shore.

Then, the woman returned to the canal with her sword, stood on the waves, and said to the evil slave on the official boat: "You are a wicked slave, you bully others, do evil, treat human life as child's play, and should be killed!" ”

After speaking, the three-foot green peak in his hand was raised, and it turned into a blue light and shot towards the evil slave on the official ship.

Zhu Yang can really see it in the sky, this woman is graceful, handsome and compelling, she is a strange woman who is jealous and hateful, and a heroic woman.
