Generals of the Ming Dynasty, such as generals above, were qualified to lead the army individually and form a banner. In addition to the commonly used numerical flags and letter banners in the army, these generals often set up another flag.

The so-called "flag flag" is a military flag that indicates its identity.

The most common way is to use the general's surname as the flag. This way, you can tell who the leader is from a distance.

The military flag embroidered with the word "jin" that Lu Si saw was a flag, which indicates that the soldiers stationed on the canal belonged to the generals of Jin.

Is there any general with the surname Jin in the late Ming Dynasty?

Lu Si thought of a man, who followed Zuo Liangyu's son Zuo Menggeng to surrender to the Qing Dynasty and pacified Jiangxi with his own strength. Later, he did not receive any rewards from the Qing Dynasty. Instead, he was blackmailed by the governor of Jiangxi appointed by the Qing Dynasty. In anger, he and his general Wang Deren raised the flag in Nanchang and Guiming anyway, and then prompted Li Chengdong from Fujian to follow Guiming's Jin Shengheng.

In addition to Jin Shengheng, Lu Si could not have imagined that there were other famous generals named Jin.

However, I remember that Jin Shengheng has always been Zuo Liangyu's general, and Zuo Liangyu should now be entrenched in the Wuchang area to watch the north, so there is no reason to follow Zuo Liangyu's Jin Shengheng to Huaian thousands of miles away.

This is not in line with history.

"Master, what are you looking at?"

Uncle Guangyuanjian kept staring at the military camp, thinking that something strange was happening, so he looked up, but there was nothing attractive in his sight except for the officers and soldiers who came in and out from time to time.

"nothing,"

Lu Si smiled at his nephew and saw that his cousin and the others had already reached the dike and hurriedly pulled his nephew to follow him.

There were people everywhere on the dam, and they were in chaos.

Officials, including Yancheng County Government, were also busy, and shouting loudly everywhere.

Thousands of people are put together, and how to quickly arrange people is a headache, even if the prefectures and counties have already had plans.

"You guys stay here, don't run around, I'll go find Lao Ma."

Song Wu asked the big guy to put the things down and stayed still, but he walked through the crowd to find Lao Ma to ask about their residence.

A large group of people had no place to sit, so they squatted under rows of bald poplar trees planted on the dike, zipped their hands into their sleeves, and wore the cottonwood hat on their heads, showing the true nature of the farmers.

There were dozens of dredging ships parked by the river that Song Wu said. The ship looked small, but the cabin was quite deep. What Lu Si and the others had to do was to carry the silt from these dredging ships to faraway places. In addition, the river workers were asked to directly clean the shallow waters by the riverside.

It is a painful thing to go into the water in the middle of winter.

Lu Wenliang brought a few pairs of straw sandals in his bag, just to work in the water. Most people can't afford the leather boots that can be waterproof.

Unlike the river workers who stayed honestly in the same place, some people dared to walk around.

Lu Si saw that Wang Si and his group were familiar with a group of soldiers on the dike at some time. There was also Ma Xingui who had talked to Song Wu that day in the crowd, and the group was talking and laughing there.

Lu Xiaohua from the second uncle's family took a bag of tobacco leaves and grabbed the soldiers one by one, just like those who scattered cigarettes in later generations.

It seems that Wang Si has already begun to prepare for his bet in advance and open up all aspects of the relationship.

Not to mention, this is also a skill.

On the distant river, as the boatmen's uniform rhythm and paddles were neatly slapped the river surface, the three official boats slowly advanced towards the north.

One of the official ships has three floors, with many soldiers on the ship and several big flags. It was the new governor of the canal transport and the governor of Huaiyang.

In the early years, the governor of the canals were the two positions of the Governor of the Canal and the General of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the G

In the 27th year of Wanli, Li Sancai, the important member of the Donglin Party, known as the Donglin think tank, became the governor of the grain transport. At that time, General Wang Chengxun was the grandson of the newly established king Wang Shouren. He had little experience and was talented. After Li Sancai took office, he "supered his spirit". In addition, Wang Chengxun was afraid of the Donglin Party's forces at the peak of the sky, so he took the initiative to move to his seat, thinking that such concessions could avoid Li Sancai's sharp power, and both sides would not violate the rivers.

Unexpectedly, Wang Chengxun's concessions made Li Sancai even more wanton, and also helped Li Sancai's ambition to monopolize the canal transportation.

Less than a month after taking office, Li Sancai submitted a memorial to the court to withdraw the general officer of the grain transport. At that time, Ye Xianggao, the chief assistant of the cabinet, was also a member of the Donglin Party. In addition, Emperor Wanli was in the palace for many years, so the decree was soon brought down, and Wang Chengxun's general officer of the grain transport was removed.

At this point, the situation where the water transportation was controlled by the governor alone made Li Sancai become the richest master in the world.

It is reported that the canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal

After Li Sancai lost power in the 39th year of Wanli, the canal gradually recovered from its previous situation, but the withdrawn general of the canal was never reestablished.

Lu Zhenfei was the fourth governor of the grain transport appointed by the court after Li Sancai. He had never had the opportunity to stand alone before.

In his early years, he made a military contribution when he was in charge of Fujian. At that time, the pirate Liu Xiangshu colluded with the Dutch Red and Mao Yi to invade. Lu Zhenfei hung up a thousand gold to encourage his soldiers, and sent guerrillas Zheng Zhilong, Huang Binqing and others to defeat Liu Xiang, Hong Mao Yi, and then was hired by Jingqing.

This time, he was ordered to go south to Huaiyang to govern the grain transportation. Lu Zhenfei was under great pressure because he had no soldiers or soldiers in his hands. Therefore, when he left Beijing, he sent someone to send an urgent message to Fujian's "Five Tiger Guerrilla General" Zheng Zhilong, asking him to send troops to Huaiyang to help.

After Zheng Zhilong received the letter, he thought that he had the friendship of fighting against foreign invaders with Lu Zhenfei back then; second, he thought that Lu had become an important minister in governor, and if he could help each other, he would have benefited in the future. So he sent his brother, Zheng Zhibao, the deputy general of the navy, to lead 3,000 troops to Huaiyang to provide for Lu Zhenfei's dispatch through a sea ship.

With Zheng Zhibao's 3,000 soldiers, Lu Zhenfei was confident, but this number of troops was obviously not enough to deploy defenses in Huanghuai, so he turned his attention to Zuo Jin Shengheng, who was the general under Zuo Liangyu of Wuchang, came to attack.

In fact, it would be better if Zuo Liangyu could be attracted to help defend Jianghuai, but Lu Zhenfei knew that with his own talent and prestige, he would not be able to drive Zuo Liangyu. If he really attracted Zuo Liangyu, it would be like a plague god. It would be easier to ask you to send you to you.

However, the generals under Zuo Liangyu were not worried.

Jin Shengheng suffered great losses in Henan because he followed Zuo Liangyu and his troops suffered great losses. Although Zuo Liangyu was defeated by Li Zicheng, he gathered countless defeated troops when he fled south, causing the troops under his command to grow to more than 200,000.

Wuchang has suffered years of disasters and fires, so there are no more than 200,000 soldiers in the left army. Therefore, Jin Shengheng's army has been living in Wuchang with Zuo Liangyu.

Therefore, under Lu Zhenfei's repeated recruitment, Jin Shengheng took his troops to Huai'an privately leave Zuo Liangyu. Except for the main force who was sent by Lu Zhenfei to the Xu and Si area, the rest of the troops took on the role of guarding the canal.

This is why Lu Si saw the golden flag outside the embankment.

Jin Shengheng was on Lu Zhenfei's boat. He came from Sizhou yesterday. He wanted to ask why the department and the court sent a letter to Liu Zeqing in the north without telling himself, but when he arrived in Huai'an, Lu Zhenfei was dragged to inspect the canal dredging project.

Seeing that the Ministry and the Ministry were still browsing, Jin Shengheng advised: "The Ministry and the Ministry and the Ministry and the Ministry do not worry. All river workers in Huaiyang have arrived on schedule. The river silt within half a month should be cleared."

Unexpectedly, the Lu Office said "Oh" but turned his face to look at him, and said lightly: "I heard that General Zuo sent someone to give you five thousand taels of silver?"
