A sudden heavy rain disrupted Zhu Youlang's overall plan.

Originally, the soldiers of the Hu Ben Army had already implemented Zhu Youlang's plan well, which caused the Qing army to be in chaos.

When Zhu Youlang saw a "fire dragon" spreading in the Qing army formation, he felt that everything was stable. Who would have thought that a heavy rain would suddenly fall from the sky?

Hot air balloons cannot fly on heavy rainy days, so it is too dangerous to fall at any time.

Besides, the effects of grenades and earth incendiary bombs will be greatly reduced.

So Zhu Youlang did not blame these warriors, they made the most appropriate decision.

But this rain was obviously much heavier than Zhu Youlang imagined.

The rain didn't mean to stop for a while.

Zhu Youlang stood by the tent, watching the rain falling along the tent, hitting the muddy ground with a very complicated mood.

The weather is indeed the most important factor restricting ancient wars.

Even in a period of alternating hot and cold weapons, this is no exception.

Although the colloid gun and red-clothed cannon are more afraid of rainy days, it does not mean that the flintlock gun and Prussian field cannon are not afraid of it.

The heavy rain had an immeasurable impact on both sides.

The rain turned the land into muddy, and the soldiers were like walking in a swamp, and each step took a lot of energy.

As for the environment in the trenches, the environment has become extremely bad.

The rain poured in without any mercy and filled the tunnel.

The soldiers were soaked in trenches filled with mud and water, and their skin began to become cystic.

If this continues, if the soldier is not sick, then there will be ghosts.

In desperation, Zhu Youlang had no choice but to order the soldiers to leave the trenches and return to the tent to rest.

If you say that the weather is really harsh, it is impossible to even light a bonfire to keep warm in the pouring rain.

The soldiers could only join the regiment to keep warm and snuggle together to resist the cold.

In order to avoid large-scale illness, Zhu Youlang ordered the medical soldiers to make a lot of ginger soup for the soldiers.

Ming Jun has always carried the ginger thing with him. It’s not because it can cure cold diseases, but it is very useful when burying a pot to make rice. It can be eaten with some rice porridge.

I never thought it would come in handy today.

"Your Majesty, you should also drink a bowl of ginger soup to warm your body."

There were not many eunuchs in the army, so Han Miao personally served Zhu Youlang's daily life.

Seeing the emperor soaked in the rain for so long, his heart was hanging in his throat.

"Um."

Zhu Youlang really felt a little uncomfortable.

Although he has been practicing boxing since he arrived in the Ming Dynasty, perhaps the original owner of his body was too weak, and he would suffer from minor illnesses from time to time.

Now that the confrontation between the Ming army and the Qing army has reached a critical moment, this battle is directly related to the situation in Jiangxi. Zhu Youlang must not be sick at this time to drag the entire army back.

For Zhu Youlang, he didn't need to lead the way, as long as he stood in front of the army and boosted morale, it would be enough.

A healthy Ming emperor had a great improvement in the morale of the army.

On the contrary, if the emperor becomes a sick person and is half dead and weak, how can he expect the soldiers to work hard?

"Your Majesty, count the days. Your Highness, King Zhong and several dukes and marquises should take Jiujiang, right?"

Although Han Miao rarely had any state affairs on camellia, he saw that the emperor was in a bad mood today, so he deliberately said something that made Zhu Youlang happy.

"Well, I think I'm sure I'm almost inseparable."

The reason why Zhu Youlang arranged the Thirteen Kuidong families and Zheng Chenggong to attack Jiujiang in two directions was to ensure that there was no accident.

As for the hardest bone to chew, he and Li Dingguo came to chew it themselves.

In Zhu Youlang's plan, it would be enough for Zheng Chenggong and others to take down Jiujiang and control the Yangtze River route.

As for whether they will continue to go south to cooperate with Zhu Youlang and Li Dingguo to take Nanchang, Zhu Youlang did not force it.

"This rain is not the time. I can already break the enemy's position."

Zhu Youlang was still worried about the heavy rain. Seeing this, Han Miao had to throw out the news he had just obtained.

"Your Majesty, the news from Shu is heard that the Crown Prince led the soldiers and civilians of Chengdu to defeat the invading enemy soldiers and beheaded more than 700 people."

"oh?"

Zhu Youlang was indeed surprised now.

"Can it be that Li Guoying, the thief, led his troops to invade?"

Li Guoying, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, has always coveted Sichuan. When the main force of the Ming army was stationed in Sichuan, he could only watch and stare and drool. But after Zhu Youlang led the main force out of Sichuan and entered Huguang, Li Guoying must have been thinking.

Seeing that the main force of the Ming army was already far away to Jiangxi, did this guy finally take action?

"Your Majesty is really a god, I admire you."

Han Miao flattered without a trace and said, "But how could this thief have the mighty sensation of His Royal Highness the Prince? He was beaten to escape in panic. I guess he would not dare to make any more decisions about Sichuan in a short time."

Zhu Youlang couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

This Han Miao really makes me happy.

The prince is only twelve or thirteen years old. No matter how smart he is, how can he be?

Isn’t this the result of Feng Shuangli, Bai Wenxuan, Mu Tianbo, Wen Anzhi and other civil officials and military officials working together?

To be honest, although he left not much troops to Sichuan, he definitely did not have a small amount.

Just Li Guoying's little shrimp soldiers and crab generals, the idea of ​​fighting Sichuan is really not enough.

Guanzhong is no longer Guanzhong in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Today, Guanzhong has a very small population with barren land.

Li Guoying's own army cannot fill his stomach, so he just wants to make an idea of ​​Sichuan. It's really funny.

But this also reminded Zhu Youlang.

Li Guoying from Guanzhong is not worth worrying about in Hanzhong, but Wu Sangui from Yunnan is a hidden danger.

Wu Sangui is the person who is so forbearing in his mind and forbearance, and is better than Geng Jimao and others.

He lived in Guizhou for many days. As soon as Oboi left, he led his troops to Yunnan and beat Feng Shuangli, and Mu Tianbo was caught off guard.

Although Yunnan itself is very poor, it is already his best choice for Wu Sangui.

When the opportunity appeared in front of him, Wu Sangui did not hesitate at all. This decisiveness was simply a bit terrible.

Compared with Yunnan, Shu is prosperous.

What if Wu Sangui gets up with the idea of ​​Sichuan?

Feng Shuangli, can Bai Wenxuan really hold on?

No matter what, Sichuan is the foundation of Nanming's founding.

Although the Ming Dynasty now has Huguang and will even take over Jiangxi, Zhu Youlang still does not want Sichuan to fall into the hands of Wu Sangui.

But at present, Zhu Youlang really couldn't draw any extra manpower to send Sichuan to the point.

When the recruits trained in Huguang can join the battle, please draw some and transfer them to Sichuan.

In general, everything is still developing according to Zhu Youlang's script.

As long as the Ming army could control the Yangtze River, it could completely cut off the Qing army's connection between the north and south.

If the Qing army wanted to contact Guangdong and Guangxi, Fujian could only rely on sea routes.

Zhu Youlang, who had Zheng Chenggong's invincible naval commander, could block the sea channel with confidence and drag the Qing Dynasty to death.

Once the food supply and the tax commissions in Guangdong and Guangxi are gone, the combat effectiveness of the Qing Dynasty will drop sharply!
