In addition to the local garrisons of various prefectures and counties, Chen Wen of the Huainan area arranged three divisions, namely Jinhua, Yongjia and Jiangdu, to deal with Huaibei, Qing army in Henan, and the four divisions in Jiangxi were Danyang, Yuyao, Yuzhang and Siming in Jiujiang, Nanchang, Yuanzhou and Ji'an respectively, and the remaining three divisions in Dalan, Fujian, Zhongzhong and Luling were respectively in Fujian, Guangdong and Quzhou in Zhejiang to control the three coastal provinces.

It seems that the Qiantang River goes north to the Yangtze River, the most prosperous area, does not have field troops, but it doesn’t take long for the Jiangdu Division stationed in Yangzhou to go south or the Luling Division in Quzhou to go downstream. Especially today when Zheng Chenggong lost his troops and lost his generals, it is unrealistic to expect the Qing Dynasty to send troops that are enough to pose a threat.

However, when it comes to the two things about Zheng Chenggong and Cao Conglong's rebellion, Chen Wen said it, everyone showed serious expressions, and even Zhang Huangyan was quite thoughtful. However, Chen Wen did not give them time to continue fermenting, but directly revealed his plan.

"Our unit has few troops, and the situation in Huguang Province where the king passes through is complicated. The king decided to issue an order immediately. The entire Yuyao Army was dispatched to attack Wuchang, the northern part of Huguang. The Danyang Division led the north bank of the Yangtze River and intercepted the Fan thief. The king will also set off as soon as possible to solve his worries first."

When the army heads west, Fan Wencheng will never sit idly by. The troops fighting against his wild land are probably not Chen Wen's opponents, but they can still send cavalry to cut off the food route and harass Jiangxi. Dealing with Fan Wencheng first is actually a shock to Sun Kewang. It is clear that he told him that I am going to do it, and you'd better think it through.

"It's not unavoidable to delay time. Master Yuzhang will set out at the same time and attack Changsha. Master Siming followed up to attract Sun Ni's attention as much as possible and prevent him from committing his own crime regardless of the threat behind him."

Officials from various departments need to implement it as soon as possible. The meeting was soon announced. Chen Wen did not leave anyone behind, even Zhang Huangyan. Instead, he found Zhang Jun and discussed it secretly before returning to the inner house of the royal palace to rest.

"My wife, as soon as you are pregnant, I am going to send troops to expedition. I feel guilty for being a husband."

Hearing this, Zhou Yueying shook her head with a wry smile, and then said to Chen Wen: "What you do is a big thing, there is no need to do this. But this time, this battle will inevitably interfere with the emperor. The storm pavilion that was more than 500 years ago is still there, and the emperor is no longer as good as the king of Yue. I am really worried that the emperor will be another Song Gao, and whether there will be a treacherous slander like Qin Hui and Wanqi Sen in the court."

Chen Wen had already expected this worry. When he passed by Hangzhou, Zhou Yueying visited Fengbo Pavilion. Although he didn't say anything, Chen Wen could also feel this panic.

Five hundred and fourteen years ago, the Fengbo Pavilion was staged with false information, Man Jianghong, the empty sorrow after looking up at the sky and whistling, and the eternal pain left to the Chinese nation in the sorrow.

Today, 514 years later, the Southern Ming Dynasty, which was also on the verge of destruction and now only half of the country, Chen Wen gradually restored most of the area south of the Yangtze River from scratch, which was no less than Yue Wumu's great achievements back then. However, in this way, the great achievements of the master are inevitable.

At that time, the existence of the other three of the four famous generals of ZTE, as well as the three famous generals of the Wu family in Sichuan, could make Yue Fei's light less dazzling. However, Zhang Huangyan's remnants had already joined the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the generals of Kuidong led by Wen'an were declining, Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu were trapped in Yunnan, and Zheng Chenggong turned to Taiwan to seek development today, Chen Wen's light was enough to blind all the royal families and vassal states. It can be said that what they could not say was impossible.

"Those who have achieved great success in the world will not be rewarded, and those who have courage and a slight shock to the master will be in danger!"

There are too many such examples in history, and how could Chen Wen not understand the meaning of what Zhou Yueying pointed out? Besides, this is something that is inevitable for any hero who wants to go against the will of heaven and change his fate.

As long as you hold the banner of the Ming Dynasty, this possibility exists. However, the anti-Qing movement in the Southern Ming Dynasty was destroyed by internal struggles, and the Han families killed each other, and finally got the Qing Dynasty. As a guide, Chen Wen, while enjoying the benefits brought by the Ming Dynasty, had to be afraid of the verdict. Therefore, he has repeatedly endured humiliation and burdened the Qing Dynasty, the great enemy of Chinese civilization, was able to solve the Qing Dynasty.

"I will protect myself, for you, for our daughters, and for those who follow and trust me."

……………………

Now Chen Wen's strength will inevitably arouse the fear of the Yongli court. Both sides still maintain a minimum decent attitude, but Sun Kewang is on the side, and the Yongli court does not dare to provoke Chen Wen again; while Chen Wen hates internal struggles and is satisfied with the destruction of the Qing Dynasty. Now under the banner of the Ming court, it can not be disturbed by the Yongli court, but it is simply because of Sun Kewang's existence; while Sun Kewang's side, because of the Yongli court, dare not continue to fight against Chen Wen because of Chen Wen, and because of the existence of Chen Wen, it is also due to the stability of this triangle.

The weakest Yongli court did not dare to provoke Sun Kewang, so he had to retreat again and again; Sun Kewang, who had an overwhelming advantage in the Yongli court, was afraid of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang tigers behind him; while Chen Wen was still accumulating strength to prepare for the Northern Expedition.

However, such a three-party balance will be broken sooner or later. For Chen Wen, the stalemate will continue until he launched an army to fight the Northern Expedition. The best solution is that the two parties will break out again. However, those two aspects may not make him do what he wants. At this point, Sun Kewang, who is the least willing to do what he wants, is obviously ready to break the peace, so he has only left to deal with it with him.

Once the mobilization order was issued, the tanks of the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang started to run again. According to Chen Wen's plan, the number of troops used this time was still the same as when they attacked Guangdong last time.

The stall is too big, and the four divisions in Jiangxi are already Chen Wen's limit. There are still a large number of new recruits in the recruit training camp, but the training is about to be completed. But when they complete the training, they are assigned to each garrison, and then select veterans from the garrison to enter the garrison for training. I am afraid that the daylily will be gone. As for the troops that completed the training at the end of last year but have not yet organized, Chen Wen does not intend to slow down the progress and stay in Jinhua as a reserve team.

The order was issued, and they rushed to the far Jiangxi at the fastest speed. The Danyang Division was in Jiujiang, the Yuyao Division was in Nanchang, the Yuzhang Division was in Yuanzhou, and the Siming Division was in Ji'an. Chen Wen's order was issued, and they would mobilize as quickly as possible, and the soldiers on vacation would return to the team at the fastest speed. However, no matter which enemy they faced, Chen Wen's army was at a disadvantage.

Time was running out. After a day of preparation, early in the morning of the third day, Chen Wen took the Yue Prince's Mansion Cavalry Guard, which had been expanded to 600 cavalry, and boarded the military ship that was traversing the river.

The officials of the Yue Palace were still busy, and Chen Wen did not allow them to see them off. He was the representative of Zhang Huangyan, the head of the Military and Law Department, who was the lightest, and the others continued to intensively dispatch personnel, materials and other things.

On the dock, Zhang Huangyan seemed a little anxious and wanted to speak several times, but he had to shut up because there were others around him. It was not until Chen Wen noticed this and instead of walking to a relatively quiet place, Zhang Huangyan had the opportunity to speak.

"Fu Ren, when you go to Huguang, you should focus on serving the king and seeking rebellion. The army will be dangerous, but you must not hurt Your Majesty."

"Cangshui is afraid that I will take Sun Ni, King Jin, King Shu and King Jin, and King Shu together, right?"

Zhang Huangyan said this to this point, so how could Chen Wen not understand his intention? He had already made this prediction before Zhang Huangyan spoke, and expected that Zhang Huangyan would mention this matter.

"I only have less than 50,000 combat soldiers. Sun Kewang has nearly 200,000 troops, and there are tens of thousands of troops on the side of King Jin and King Shu. You have too much confidence in me."

Chen Wen said with a smile, but Zhang Huangyan looked serious. This solemn thing was something that Chen Wen had known him for almost two years.

"You are a famous general who can create miracles. Sun Kewang has a lot of troops, but can you really look down on that waste?"

Speaking of this, Zhang Huangyan shook his head and then said, "Fu Ren, I remember that you sent troops to Fujian and Guangdong last year, and then sent His Highness Xigong Concubine and Prince Rong of the Prince of Lu to Kinmen to reunite with His Highness King Lu. His Highness King Lu misbelieves slander, and you can do this. Now it is Guo Linggong of Fenyang or Chen Yongding of Wuxing, and you will only make a decision on your words."

Guo Ziyi and Chen Baxian, one of the Rebellion of Anshi and the Rebellion of Pacifying Hou Jing, were both famous generals who had recreated their dynasties, but the former chose to abide by the way of ministers and were respected as Ling Gong and Shang Fu, while the latter established a new dynasty and was called a widow. Chen Wen returned the prince of Lu to the King of Lu, and at the same time gave up the path of replacing the Lu vassal. Now the choice is coming again, and the temptation to him is even greater than before.

When Zhang Huangyan was like this, Chen Wen couldn't help but become serious. He looked at him with his majesty. With Chen Wen's majesty, few people could withstand this pressure now, but Zhang Huangyan faced Chen Wen's gaze and did not dodge even at all.

After a while, the guard had completed boarding. Chen Wen looked directly at Zhang Huangyan's eyes, and his mouth was shattered: "Master Zhang, the work of the Military and Justice Department seems to be very leisurely. Do your own business well. The meaning of my king's existence in this era is clearer than you, Zhang Cangshui, and everyone in this era."

After saying that, Chen Wen turned around and walked towards the military ship. However, Zhang Huangyan's official uniform twitched in the winter river breeze, but his body stood on the dock like a rock, watching the military ship slowly move away.

……………………

When Chen Wen's order was delivered, the troops in Jiangxi began to move. According to Chen Wen's plan, the first ones were naturally the Danyang Division and the Yuyao Division. As for the Yuzhang Division and the Siming Division who attacked the southern part of Huguang from Yuanzhou, they took Changsha first to scare Sun Kewang. However, the subsequent events still have to wait until Wuchang has a bright future before acting. Otherwise, they will be defeated by Sun Kewang, which will affect the overall situation.

Fortunately, as the capital of Huguang Province, it is precisely in the northeast of this province and is closely related to Jiujiang Prefecture in Jiangxi.

It took time to mobilize, but Lou Jiye and An Youfu looked down on Mr. Fan Wen, who claimed to be Kong Ming's alive, and Chen Wen announced that he would send troops a few days after arriving in Jiujiang. These two divisions had not yet been fully equipped and went to attack the Qing army in Huguang, which was originally more than twice theirs.

When the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang sent troops, Fan Wencheng received the news almost immediately. However, Fan Kongming had never thought that Chen Wen had never thought of attacking him so early. If Sun Kewang had not taken action first, it would not have been his turn to be beaten at this time.

After suffering such an unsuspecting disaster, Fan Wencheng had no choice. Now that the power of the Qing Dynasty was shrinking, it is said that it was still training new troops in the capital. Chongqing had already withdrawn its defenses and returned to Baoning in northern Sichuan. His southwest shogunate was the last nail left by the Qing Dynasty south of the Yangtze River.

However, the weight on this nail is not enough, with a lot of pressure on three sides. The Kuidong Ming army to the west, the southwest Ming army to the south, and the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Ming army to the east. The Kuidong side, Yunyang and Xiangyang prefectures also hold the way; the Dongting Lake also exists, and the defense surface is greatly reduced; only the downstream Jiangxi direction is basically a situation without any dangers.

The Ming army of Jiangsu and Zhejiang sent troops from Jiujiang at the end of the first lunar month. The troops of the two divisions, Danyang and Yuyao, used the navy as a link to advance along the north and south sides of the Yangtze River.

"On the first day of the second month, Xingguozhou, Wuchang Prefecture, fell, and the defenders opened the door to surrender."

"On the second day of the second month, Qizhou and Guangji County of Huangzhou Prefecture surrendered, and the Qizhou garrison was presented to the Zhejiang bandits by the rebels. On the same day, the Huangmei County garrison surrendered to the Zhejiang bandits in the direction of Susong."

"On the fifth day of the second month, Daye County, Wuchang Prefecture was captured by Zhejiang bandits and the defenders were killed."

"On the seventh day of the second month, Qishui County, Huangzhou Prefecture, changed hands and the defenders fled north."

"On the tenth day of the second month, Wuchang County, Wuchang Prefecture fell. On the evening of the next day, Huangzhou Prefecture City on the other side of the Yangtze River was captured by Zhejiang bandits, and the defenders committed suicide to their country."

“…”

These battle reports represent that the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang was like a wind blowing away the clouds. They could take down a county town every one or two days, two or three days, and strode towards Wuchang Prefecture City. And today, Fan Wencheng has received news that the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang was at the Wuchang City.

It is actually reasonable to have this. Since entering the pass, the Eight Banners have always been the courage of the Green Banners. With the Eight Banners Army present, even if they did not participate in the war, the Green Banners soldiers seemed to have added some state, and their combat effectiveness has greatly increased. However, as the Qing Dynasty's power contracted, only more than a thousand Eight Banners Army remained in the northern part of Huguang, and basically all the Eight Banners of the Han army were all Eight Banners.

As a result, the courage was gone, and the combat effectiveness was not inferior to that of the Eight Banners Army. Even the more powerful Jiangsu and Zhejiang Ming Army was already a rare loyalty to the point of surrendering without offering the city. It was not new to surrender. Just like when the Qing Dynasty first entered the pass, it was just the same.

Fan Wencheng sat in the southwest temple government in Wuchang Prefecture City. The only ones that could trust were the more than a thousand Han army Eight Banners. There were many green camp soldiers in the city, but they could not trust them at all. However, the Wuchang Prefecture City is not small in scale. The city wall alone is nearly twenty miles long, and there are nine city gates. Just leaning against the more than a thousand Han army Eight Banners, I couldn't even take care of the city gates, let alone others.

Therefore, since Shunzhi decided to withdraw a large number of Eight Banners Army and some elite green camps, he was already an abandoned son. However, he still had to collect as much food and goods as possible for the Qing Dynasty before the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang came, and transported them to the capital through Henan for use by the Eight Banners Army.

"Mr. Master Jianli, there is a boat outside Hanyang Gate. While the city gate is still there, it is better to retreat to Jiangbei as soon as possible. If it is too late, I am afraid that the navy of Zhejiang bandits will block the river surface."

"I can't leave anymore, and I won't waste this position anymore. Once the city is broken, I will withdraw back to Jiangbei with the Han army flag, leaving the green mountains without worrying about burning firewood."

The offensive of the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang was too fierce, and it was hard to say how long this city could last. After all, those green camp soldiers were not trustworthy.

However, Sun Sick, who is now Meilezhangjing, the official white banner of the Han army, was unable to convince Fan Wencheng. Fan Wencheng even knew his fate from the very beginning. The seven-star lantern of Zhuge Kongming was not able to do what he wanted. The Kong Ming, who was blown out, naturally could not find a way to change his fate in the world, and could only wait for the arrival of this day.

As soon as the two finished speaking, an officer from the Han army flag rushed in like a flying, fell to Fan Wencheng and Sun Sick, and opened his mouth to startle them.

"Master Weili, the Green Camp soldiers at Xiaodongmen have turned against each other. They have opened the city gate. At this moment, the Zhejiang bandits have entered the city!"
