The army headed south, cooperated with Li Dingguo and Zheng to annihilate Shang and Geng Erfan. Chen Wen did not think about it, but the Ming army in Zhejiang is now in powerless after eating, and it is really hard to move south but not enough. Tianlai Novel.|2

In March this year, Sun Kewang killed Chen of the Yongli Dynasty who planned to lead Li Dingguo into the guard and created the prison of Mr. Eighteen. As soon as this happened, Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu, these three guys turned into time bombs. The internal strife of the three kings like in history could explode at any time, which is inevitable.

As a result, two of the allies were missing at once, and Zheng Chenggong was not very reliable. In addition, the reinforcements from the Qing Dynasty must have been on the way. If the threat is not removed as soon as possible, with the current strength of the Ming army in Zhejiang, it is impossible for them to continue to defend their territory to such a large range to deal with strong enemies. In addition, those potential opponents exist, once the occupied areas begin to be lost, the next chain reaction will be difficult for Chen Wen to bear.

Being too deeply trapped in the battlefields of Guangdong and Fujian is definitely not in line with the fundamental interests of the Ming army in Zhejiang. In this case, instigation of rebellion has become the most practical method. As for these two butchers with hands covered with blood from the Han people, there are ways to torture them in the future.

There is a saying that goes, if you are poor, you will put aside disputes, and since ancient times, you will have great good deeds!

Now, Geng Jimao, who was forced to do so, has been intimidated by Chen Wen, and the threat from Fujian direction is about to be lifted. Although the remaining Shang Kexi is fighting alone and facing Li Dingguo's military front, he is still sitting and watching the changes in the wind direction and holding his coins to watch.

Chen Wen didn't have that time to continue to waste time with him. After delaying for a long time, the Ming army in Zhejiang seemed weak and powerless. At that time, even Geng Jimao would have a different mind - in the jungle, the weak will always be the food on the plate for other hunters!

With the help of victory and instigation of rebellion, the Ming army in Zhejiang completed the initial rule of the new occupation. Although there was no explicit order, the people in central and northern Jiangxi still cut off their braids and began to tie them up, restoring the customs of the Qing army before they occupied this land.

The recruitment work continues, but as the garrisons who arrived earlier have been stationed in various counties, some of the war barracks were freed from it. In addition to the provincial capital Nanchang, Jiujiang, which guards the gateway of Poyang Lake, Yuanzhou Prefecture in the west, Guangxin and Jianchang Prefecture in Fujian, and Raozhou Prefecture in Huizhou and Chizhou, Chen Wen extracted Nantang, Shentang and the Third Battalion, as well as half of the Iron Cavalry Camp and Xiuguo Duke's Guards.

These troops will flow up the Gan River and go straight to Nangan through Ji'an Prefecture. The chicken he used to warn monkeys was the city of Nangan!

The so-called Nangan refers to Ganzhou Prefecture and Nan'an Prefecture at the southernmost end of Jiangxi, collectively known as Nangan. However, the jurisdiction of the Nangan Governor is not limited to Ganzhou and Nan'an Prefectures, Shaozhou, Nanxiong in Guangdong, Chenzhou in Huguang, and Tingzhou in Fujian. These areas all fall under the jurisdiction of the Nangan Governor.

Historically, Nangan was a place that military strategists must fight for. When the Qing army advanced south, Grand Secretary Yang Tinglin and the commander of Wan Ji, guarding Nangan, were defeated by the Qing army, and since then they fell into the hands of the Qing Dynasty.

In the second year of Yongli, Jiangxi Admiral Jin Shengheng, anyway, the army went south. The Qing army was unfavorable in field battles and retreated to the city of Ganzhou. At that time, Nan'an, near Ganzhou, Nanxiong surrendered to Jin Shengheng one after another, but Liu Wuyuan, the governor of Nangan and Hu Yousheng, the general of Nangan, defended for nearly two months, and the Ming army was unable to capture it. Next, the Qing general Tan Tai led Heluohui, Liu Guangbi, Yang Jie and other generals to go south. Jin Shengheng was forced to return to Nanchang after a long attack and his assistant Wang Deren was injured. He defended for half a year. Nanchang fell, Jin Shengheng and Wang Deren died.

Jin Shengheng was besieged in Nanchang, which happened to Guangdong Admiral Li Chengdong, anyway, and the army brought hundreds of red barbarian cannons to the north to try to rescue Jin Shengheng.

Nangan is the only way to go. The first attack was made. The army "had more than dozens of battalions, artillery fire was connected to the sky, and attacked all night." As a result, in the early morning of the next day, the Qing army left the city to attack. Li Chengdong was not firmly firm and caught off guard. He was rushed into the camp by the Qing army. The soldiers retreated in panic and trampled on each other. The formation was in chaos, and the soldiers and equipment were lost a lot, and they were forced to withdraw.

The second time, Li Chengdong changed his method and planned to first collect cities near Nangan and then siege Ganzhou. However, he did not know that Nanchang had been captured by Tan Tai in the first month. The main force of the Qing army went south to attack Xinfeng County where Li Chengdong was stationed. The Ming army was defeated and Li Chengdong fell into the water while crossing the river.

Jin Shengheng and Li Chengdong were defeated and died due to their failure in attacking Nangan, and also made the reputation of Nangan Jiancheng and Hu Yousheng, the military generals who were famous for their good defense in the green camp.

The Ming army left Nanchang and joined Shentangying, which was leading from Fuzhou Prefecture, and headed south along the Ganjiang River. It soon approached Ji'an Prefecture, north of Ganzhou.

Last year, Zhang Yong and Liu Guangbi captured Ji'an Prefecture City, occupied by the Yunxiaoshan Anti-Qing Rebel Army, but the massacre was just one day before the massacre was carried out, and he hurriedly left because Chen Wence reversed Ma Xin and Hu Laijin and recovered the two prefectures of Taiwen. After Cai Shiying took over, he arranged a 600-man green camp to station, but it was just to restore the establishment. This year, the deputy general of Fubiao Camp came to assist the local green camp to attack the remnants of the Yunxiaoshan Anti-Qing Rebel Army. As a result, Nanchang was lost and trapped here.

The vanguard of the army approached, but the civil and military officials and gentry of Ji'an Prefecture had already left ten miles to greet him, claiming to be a death sentence. Chen Wen took advantage of the opportunity to recover Ji'an Prefecture, and the army continued to move south the next day, leaving only hundreds of garrison troops to guard the city, taking into account the food route. Chen Wen led the army, plus the Green Camp soldiers who surrendered in Ji'an and the rebels who came down from Yunxiao Mountain, headed south together.

While walking on the road, Liu Jing, the leader of the Yunxiao Mountain anti-Qing army, had hinted that Chen Wen was the strong city in Ganzhou, and Hu Yousheng was good at guarding it, so he should be careful. However, Chen Wen did not care. He still marches everywhere, and the army steadily heads south. He did not care too much.

There was Jin Shengheng in front and Li Chengdong in the back. The two of them seized the land of a province for the Qing Dynasty. Then, the Qing army generals who were in the province were defeated under the city of Ganzhou. Although Liu Jing came from an alliance, he had heard that Zhang Zisheng was doing well in the Ming army in Zhejiang and was willing to join, but he lacked confidence in attacking Ganzhou.

There was insufficient confidence here, and the Qing army in Ganzhou was full of confidence. Although they did not dare to face the Zhejiang Ming army, which was not even the Economic Bian and the Eight Banners in Hangzhou, when it came to defending the city, Jin and Li, it was enough to explain. With the full support of Yi Yonggui, Hu Yousheng rewarded the entire army with good wine and meat, and even sent people south to ask Shang Kexi for help, waiting for Chen Wen to come and repeat the same mistake.

"This person named Chen is a hooligan. I see that their Chen family is also an unscrupulous businessman who is used to being a forceful buyer in Tianjin Wei!"

Shang Kexi, who has been a traitor for his whole life, cursed Chen Wen for not having the spirit of fair trade after receiving a report from Hu Yousheng.

After complaining, Shang Kexi had to go out to mobilize Guangzhou city to assist Hu Yousheng in guarding Ganzhou - this is no longer a matter of Nangan and others. Chen Wen's intention is obvious. In seven words, the intention of the drunkard is not to drink. Who told Li Dingguo that devil had already entered Guangdong? These two guys were both serious Ming troops and divided up his territory in Guangdong, which was justified!

As for reinforcements, the old problem, China is vast and the number of core military forces of the Qing Dynasty Eight Banners Army was pitifully small. In the era when there were no trains, planes, and freighters, when the Qing Dynasty reinforcements arrived in Guangdong, Shang Kexi's bones were used to make soup without any taste.

"Prince, we can't fight with the Ming army. Regardless of the victory or defeat, the old foundation of the Pingnan Prince's Mansion will be gone, and the prince will get nothing."

"Mr. Jin said this great good, and I am just thinking of this."

Shang Kexi's army headed north. According to calculations, if nothing unexpected happens, it should arrive the next day after the Ming army approached the city of Ganzhou.

"If Hu Yousheng's ability to keep it alive for a day, then the sun comes out from the west."

On August 20, the eighth year of Yongli, the sun rose from the east as usual. With the morning glow, the Ming army appeared under the city of Ganzhou, which had already closed its doors.

Ganzhou is located at the intersection of Zhangshui and Gongshui in the upper reaches of the Ganjiang River. It is surrounded by water on three sides. The city is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It can be said to be a strong city among the strong city. At the same time, the vanguard of the Shang Kexi army has also appeared in Xinfeng County, south of Ganzhou City, which is only a day away from Ganzhou.

Now that the camp has been firmly established, it is still easy to come to siege the city and attack the aid. However, the General Staff of the Army did not favor this safe tactic. Instead, he encouraged Chen Wen to attack the city as soon as possible. Chen Wen seemed to have this intention, and Liu Jing was stunned when he looked at it directly.

"A arrogant soldier will be defeated."

He didn't dare to say it, but he secretly regretted that he had to come and see the combat effectiveness of the Ming army this time. However, the commander was Chen Wen, and the plan was Chen Wen's General Staff Office. He, a newly promoted and surrendered rebel leader, dared not say much.

The army finished the formation below the city, but the persuasion of surrender was not received. Looking at the strong city that ended the second year of Yongli, Chen Wen just spoke up a dream that was not a command term.

"Now, please speak the cannon!"

……………………

On August 20, the eighth year of Yongli, Chen Wen led 7,000 Ming troops to the city of Ganzhou and failed to persuade him to surrender. The Ming army launched a shelling on Ganzhou City with the mortar cannons he carried with the red barbarian cannons.

By the afternoon, several huge gaps were blasted out of the city wall. The Qing army could not repair it enough. The Ming army in the brigade rushed in. The defenders lost all their fighting spirit under the shelling of the morning. Facing the Ming army that formed a formation and entered the city, Ganzhou quickly announced the change of hands.

The next day, as the only strange man in the world whose sun rose from the west, King Shang Kexi of Pingnan fled back to Guangzhou without looking back after learning the news that Ganzhou was going down, leaving only an envoy and the peace letter with almost no unreasonable terms was cut and sent to Chen Wen's army.

Shang Kexi fled back to his nest and shivered in the nest. After capturing Ganzhou, the Ming army did not stop. After confirming that Shang Kexi withdrew, Chen Wen hurriedly returned to Nanchang with the guard cavalry, while the grenadiers set off on a boat to Yuanzhou Prefecture in western Ganzhou.

After Chen Wen left, the Ming army's Shentang, Guards and the half of the Iron Cavalry Battalion were commanded by Hou Guoyuan, commander of Nantangying, and An Youfu led the Shentang camp eastward into Ruijin County in the eastern part of Ganzhou. After expelling the defenders, he continued to go east, capturing Tingzhou Prefecture City, which was only dozens of miles away from Ruijin County, and became the first Ming general of Zhejiang to enter Fujian.

The day after An Youfu recovered Tingzhou, he had just received an order but was still unwilling to live in the back of the people. Zhang Zisheng, the Bo of Pingjiang, who was still unwilling to live in the underworld, also led the Yushan Camp to Jianchang Prefecture and attacked Shaowu Prefecture in Fujian. Wang Zhigang, the left general stationed here, saw that it was the banner of the Ming army in Zhejiang, and immediately led his army to Yanping Prefecture, but was attacked by unidentified armed forces in Sha County. In this battle, Wang Zhigang's troops were defeated and the person was missing.

At the same time, Zheng Chenggong, who received the news, also took advantage of the opportunity to recapture the three counties of Longyan, Zhangping and Ningyang in the northern part of Zhangzhou Prefecture, and completely included the entire territory of Zhangzhou Prefecture.

In theory, the Ming army in Zhejiang and the Ming army in Fujian were connected. Although they did not reach the intention of joint combat, the psychological pressure on the Qing army in Fujian was indescribable, especially Wang Zhigang's disappearance left a huge shadow on the entire Fujian land.

While the civil and military officials in Fujian in the Qing Dynasty were in danger and were seeking various ways out, two caravans were conducting an ulterior motive in an abandoned village outside Datian County, Yanping Prefecture.

These two caravans, one from south and the other from north, had almost the same number of people, but they were both strong men with swords and swords. They were said to be caravans, but in the eyes of discerning people, they were more like a group of bandits who were doing business without a lot.

The leaders on both sides came from the south a rich man with dough. Judging from his behavior, he was a first-class person in the housekeeper of a high-ranking official and official family; while the one from the north was a young man with a shrewd eyes, but he was as straight as other guys, his waist was straight, like a spear.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, my master has prepared the goods you want from your boss. I don't know..."

The young man was very dissatisfied with the butler's desire to speak, and frowned and said to him: "Inspecting the goods first. If the goods are wrong, it is useless to say anything."

"You're talking, you're talking."

The housekeeper knew that the boss behind the young man was not easy to mess with, and knew that the matter was important, so he didn't care about wiping the sweat on his head. He waved his hand quickly, and the guy behind him lifted two big boxes over. After putting it in place, he took out the key and opened the box.

The box was not filled with gold, silver and silk, but two living people. It would be fine if the two wives with soft skin and charming charming women, but they were two men tied like twists and flowers. Once the box was opened, the sweat and urine inside came to the face, and the young man frowned and covered his mouth and nose.

"Inspecting goods!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several men walked out of the young man and checked the whimpering sounds of the two boxes. After a while, after the inspection was completed and confirmed that it was correct, the young man nodded to the butler. While nodding and bowing, the butler subconsciously wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The box was resealed and locked, and the young man then asked the butler to turn around and said, "Code, ask: Which family is better to harm the Qing Dynasty? Answer: Li Hefei, Kang Nanhai. Do you remember it clearly?"

The butler recited it silently twice, and although he didn't understand the meaning, he still memorized it by rote. "I have recorded it, I have recorded it. Now the villain will send someone to the country, no, I will send it to your boss."

"This is your business. Since it has nothing to do with me, I will leave."

After saying that, the young man left the village with his men. Compared to when he came, there were only two more boxes.

After leaving the village, the caravan quickly divided into two teams, each carrying a box and heading towards the north and south. Not to mention the way north, the young man led the team to the south. It was not until the Duke of Zhangguo, the Zuoqianhu House in Yongning Guard, stopped.

"Captain Zhang is here, what are your Duke's instructions?"

Zheng Chenggong was not kind, but Zhang Jun knew why it was for. He was not even happy to come here, but Chen Wenyouling had to do so.

"If you return to the Duke, you will finally give me a gift to the Duke on behalf of my grandmaster."

"oh?"

As the two said, Zhang Jun's entourage also moved the box in, opened the box, and the gift naturally appeared. The smell of odor in the box was even better than before, but Zheng Chenggong did not cover his mouth and nose like Zhang Jun, his eyebrows were raised, and his anger was released.
Chapter completed!
