Li Chengdong's body was not found, which made Liu Fangliang very angry: "The life of this dog surnamed domestic slave is not ordinary, and if you look for it carefully, can he still fly away?"

Zhou Chang took Ye Qing'er, Bu Yinglong, Xie Zhiliang, Huang Hairu, Lai Changxin and others to participate in the search, until the next day, and finally did not find Li Chengdong's body.

"The enemy still fled quite a bit. This is the edge of Dingnan Wuzhai, and Lai Changxin is the head snake, so he knows the terrain better: "This is the source of the Dongjiang River, and Li Chengdong, the dog thief, must have escaped along the river valley." ”

"Forget it, even if Li Chengdong was not burned to death, after this lesson, he would not dare to come again. Zhou Chang decided to give up: "According to preliminary statistics, this fire killed more than 10,000 enemies and captured more than 5,000 people, which is very good." After all, General Liu only has 5,000 people, and there is no way to take care of such a large encirclement. ”

This large-scale battle to lure the enemy successfully recovered Lianping Prefecture, and Heping County and Heyuan County became the southern gate of Dingnan County, forming a strong pressure on Huizhou.

According to the prior plan, all the materials seized this time belonged to the Hakka people, and Liu Fangliang was also very happy. Because he only has 5,000 cavalry now, such a vast area cannot be taken care of at all.

Now it is possible to form several militias in Anyuan County, Lianping County, Heping County, and Pingyuan County, and all of them voluntarily accept the command of Xiong Chu Damingguo, which is a huge supplementary force.

"You choose another handsome, I'm going to find the master. Ye Qinger first expressed her attitude: "Meiling Eighteen Villages were originally discussed by Zhang Wenbin, Xie Zhiliang, Huang Hairu, Bu Yinglong and my mother, but now Zhang Wenbin and my mother are gone, you three should bother more." Dingnan Wuzhai, or the owner of Lai Zhai and others are responsible. ”

Zhou Chang thought about it and was right: "Senior sister is right, just form the Meiling Hakka Army and the Dingnan Hakka Army, and use the momentum of the horns to respond to each other in the future." According to our prior agreement, the owners of the village will have to work hard to recruit 20,000 new soldiers for me, because I have received an order to rush over and occupy Shaozhou. ”

The final request put forward by Zhou Chang is the core of the problem, recruiting 20,000 supplementary soldiers here, and completely integrating the Hakka people into the Xiong family army system, so that the family will not speak two words at that time, laying the foundation for future development.

"I'll be responsible for recruiting new soldiers!" Guan Fengniang, the owner of Heshui Village, stood up and said, "General Zhou, do you want Huizhou soldiers?"

Guan Fengniang is a Hakka woman in her forties, and she is also a character who dares to speak up.

Zhou Chang nodded: "Yes, as long as it is a child from a local background and a clear background, we want it." It would be great if the owner of the village could come forward. ”

"That's right. Guan Fengniang continued: "At the beginning, Zhang Jiayu from Guancheng went to Huizhou to recruit soldiers, and many people from our Heshui Village and Yuan Chongren's Baishui Village also participated, with a total of 60,000 people. Although they were later disbanded, they were all ready to serve as soldiers, and the villages were registered, so they should soon be able to reassemble. ”

Zhou Chang and Zhou Xi's Praetorian Guards moved to Shaozhou and took control of Nanxiong Pass, which was the latest order issued by Peng Wuying.

Zhou Xi had already led the nine thousand Praetorian Guards to set off, and Zhou Chang was according to the request of Mo Jiuniang and Li Qing to assist Liu Fangliang in dealing with the aftermath of Hakka Village.

Agreeing that Ye Qing'er should accompany the army, mainly considering the issue of the command of the newly recruited supplementary troops, because Xiong Chu and Miao Sanguan have already decided to form the Shaozhou battalion, and replenishing the new recruits is also a top priority.

Because Zhu Yuao was bewitched by Su Guansheng to "conquer Wuzhou in the west" failed, he was inexplicably defeated, the governor Chen Jitai was killed, and the Shaowu court in Guangzhou became an empty shell.

Tong Yangjia and Li Chengdong took advantage of the weakness to enter, more than 20 members of Zhu Yuao's family were killed, Su Guansheng hanged himself, and the remnants of the Southern Ming Dynasty had all collapsed, and the organized and organized anti-Qing battle did not exist.

Although there were still endless wars in Fujian and Guangdong, they were all sporadic battles that fought separately, and they could not have a wounding effect on the Manchu Tartars.

It was for this reason that the Manchu Tartars marched along the southeast coast at an extremely fast pace, which led to a fire in the backyard of the Xiong Army, which was taken by surprise.

It is impossible to completely stop at present, so we can only make adjustments while fighting, build a new defensive front as soon as possible, and ensure that Guangxi and Yunnan will not be attacked head-on.

Zhou Chang seemed very anxious, because Prince Xiong had already arrived in Hengyang Wangcheng, indicating that the Yangtze River was shrinking its forces in an all-round way, and the main combat task in the next step should be to operate the Ezhou, Yuezhou, Changsha, Hengyang, and Changde defense lines.

Shaozhou and Chenzhou are the southeast barriers of Hengyang, and they are also the outposts to curb the expansion of Tong Yangjia and Li Chengdong's forces in Guangzhou.

Mo Jiuniang and Li Qing rushed over at the same time to preside over the battle against Li Chengdong, which was to give the Manchu Tartars on the eastern front a blow to the head, and it was also a major step for the Xiong army to readjust the defensive line.

Zhou Chang didn't think about the big strategic policy. He knew that the emperor's master, Prince Xiong, had retreated to Hengyang, and as the commander of the Praetorian Guard, he should move closer to the emperor as quickly as possible.

"Shaoguan and Nanxiong are the two defense nodes that we control Shaozhou. Zhou Xi, your 5,000 Praetorian Guards stationed in Nanxiong in the north, the main task is to keep an eye on Liu Fangliang's department in Dingnan County in the east and the Chige department in Chenzhou in the north, and as long as the situation is critical, reinforcements will be immediately provided, without waiting for orders. ”

"I led 4,000 Praetorian Guards to be stationed at Shaoguan in the south, to monitor the enemy in the direction of Guangzhou, to ensure the security of the northern line of Zhaoqing, and to train 30,000 recruits. If you have to fight a defensive battle, you can't do it without infantry coordination. ”

Although Zhou Chang was only born a quarter of an hour early, he was the eldest brother and the commander of the Praetorian Guard. Zhou Xi could only listen in front of his eldest brother, and then execute it immediately, and there were few opportunities to express his opinion. Because they are twins, they have the same heart.

"Brother, you must be careful, Li Chengdong was calculated by you once, I am worried that he will jump off the wall in a hurry and will soon find you trouble. ”

Zhou Xi threw down a few words and left, and Zhou Chang was really busy.

The name Shaoguan comes from the famous mountain "Shaoshi Mountain" in Danxia, which is the seat of county governance in Qujiang County.

Because this is the throat of the Meiguan Ancient Road, the three customs offices were set up here during the Hongwu period, so it is called Shaoguan.

Shaoguan is not so easy to guard.

Shaoguan is difficult to defend, and the difficulty is that there are Beijiang, Wujiang, and Zhenjiang inland waterways in the territory, which can go straight down to Qingyuan and lead to the South China Sea.

The main purpose of defending Shaoguan is to hold the waterway and prevent the enemy's naval fleet from raiding the base camp in the hinterland.

Putting his brother Zhou Xi in Nanxiong, who was relatively safe and mobile, Zhou Chang shouldered the burden of resisting the enemy head-on.

Originally, it was planned to recruit 20,000 Hakka children, but Guan Fengniang sent more than 30,000 people in three days, of which 20,000 belonged to Huizhou children.

Zhou Chang fulfilled Ye Qing'er's wish, gathered all the more than 3,000 girls inside, and used the captured war horses to form a Hakka women's battalion, which can be regarded as Ye Qing'er's personal guard.

The girls in Lingnan are not easy to mess with, and after Ye Qinger's female battalion has undergone strict training, its combat effectiveness is not weak.

While waiting for the equipment, Zhou Chang seized all the time to train his troops on a large scale, ready to deal with a more cruel situation at any time.

Everything was busy and orderly, and the recruits gradually moved towards normal, with the initial image of an army, Zhou Chang was full of joy.

But the sudden arrival of a person, and then a bad news came, breaking the inherent peace of Shaoguan.

Sahur was the deputy commander of the Shooting Battalion, and he was supposed to be in Chenzhou. But he suddenly appeared in front of Zhou Chang, and he looked very nervous.

"Brother Zhou, I'm leaving soon, long story short. Sahur didn't sit down at all, but stood up and said: "Luck Dehun has crossed the river to the south, Jin Li's department has arrived in Ningbo, Liu Zhiyuan's department is stationed in Hangzhou, Tong Tulai, Ye Chen, and Alai's department have invaded Ezhou, and the emperor has ordered the Jiujiang camp and Ezhou camp to retreat to the Changsha line." ”

"The battle situation in the north has nothing to do with you, but our shooting battalion has to be dispatched with the whole army to plan for the safe retreat of the troops in the north, so Zhou Xi's troops must immediately take over the Chenzhou defense line. At the same time, I would like to remind you that because of the change in Guangzhou, the Manchu Tartars ordered Shang Kexi's troops to cross the river in Wuhu, and the goal was to reinforce Liangguang. ”

Shang Kexi is the king of Zhishun who was crowned by the Manchu Tartars, commanding the Han army with a blue flag and more than 40,000 soldiers and horses. However, after Geng Jimao's troops were defeated by us in Xinyang, the remaining 20,000 people were also under his command, so Shang Kexi had nearly 70,000 people in his hands, so be careful. ”

The military situation was urgent, Zhou Chang could only readjust the deployment, and divided the recruits into 10,000 infantry to Zhou Xi, and ordered him to march into Chenzhou with the whole army, take over the original station of the Chige Shooting Battalion, and ensure the safety of the east of Hengyang.

Zhou Chang was busy working in Shaoguan, and the northern front had begun to shrink in an all-round way.

In the blink of an eye, Li Dingguo's Nanchang was in the position of the rearguard, and the heavy responsibility of being the queen of the whole army naturally fell on him.

Li Dingguo sat in Nanchang, and there were two generals under his command to form a corner, namely Yuan Zongdi in Anren County in the east and Weng Chengjiu in Fuzhou County in the south.

"You two, I have brought you here today because the occupation has changed completely, and so has our enemy. In the east, Borhui's department has pressed to the front line of Ganzhou, preparing to open up the passage into Guangdong, but is currently blocked by Liu Fangliang. ”

"Our enemy to the east is now the main force of the Manchurian Yellow Banner of the Jingnan General Chen Tai, about 12,000 men. The adjutant general was Manchuria Zhenghuang Banner Qianji Xiha, and his direct subordinate troops were 1,800 cavalry. Manchuria was inlaid with a blue flag, and there were 2,400 cavalry under his direct command. The vanguard general Huni Yaluo, cavalry of 800 men. ”

"Don't look at the number of enemies has been greatly reduced, but these troops are the top elites of the Three Banners in Manchuria, and all of them are light armored cavalry, and they move very fast. Yuan Zongdi should have a deep understanding that the Great Shun Army was dragged down by them at the beginning. ”

As soon as Li Dingguo's voice fell, Yuan Zongdi was a little impatient: "General, Chen Tai and Ji Xiha are now face to face with me, and finally have this opportunity to take revenge, so simply let me lead the people of the headquarters to kill them and give them a head-on blow." ”

"No, now is not the time for you to take revenge. Li Dingguo shook his head: "According to the emperor's secret order, our temporary task is to delay time and prevent Chen Tai and Ji Xiha from advancing westward. In particular, we must keep a close watch on Jishiha to prevent him from taking advantage of the maneuverability of the cavalry and secretly intervening to the west of us to cause trouble. ”

Weng Chengjiu said: "The general is very worried, the Manchu Tartars like to engage in long-distance ghost tricks the most, and Prime Minister Miao Sanguan has said it many times. The last time General Chige passed by here, he also specifically emphasized this issue, and it must not be taken lightly. ”

Unexpectedly, Weng Chengjiu said that what should come is always coming.

Things do have their own trajectory, and even if you are on guard, if it happens, it will still overwhelm you.

The Manchu Tartars had become so confident in their horse archery skills that they blamed luck for their recent setbacks.

In addition, coach Luck was eager to avenge Jiangbei's revenge, so the actions he took were as fast as wind and rain, as fast as lightning.

It's a pity that the Manchu Tartars didn't understand that the current enemy is the Xiong Family's army of the Xiong Prince, and there is no comparison with those armies of the Southern Ming Dynasty at all.
