Chapter 60 The old trick is repeated (5)

"We'd better take care of the affairs of our three-thirds of an acre of land so as not to annoy others."

A voice came out, and everyone couldn't help but express a few complaints about Jiangxi. They were in an awkward position, and they were worried about Chen Kai, who was not bordering the defense zone. Their good intentions were inevitably interpreted maliciously by the parties involved. They were all veterans who had been officials for many years.

Well, who would do such a thing that harms others but does not benefit oneself?

This topic got sidetracked, and as we talked, we dispersed. Anyway, the jurisdiction is just one county with a few passes, and the people who huddle together for warmth often meet to exchange information and opinions, and only then can they unify their opinions.

So that he can deal with the imperial court and fight against those unkind Jiangxi colleagues...

Living here, compared to those places where people's heads are about to be knocked out of dogs' brains, they can be regarded as having nothing to do all day long. Ten days and eight days passed by almost in the blink of an eye. Tong Guoqi, Zhou Lianggong and the others were still looking forward to Yang Minggao's death.

When a few indifferent mountain people wanted to risk their military exploits to the imperial court, Yang Minggao kindly invited them over, but things were not that simple.

"The Jiangxi Governor's Yamen issued a letter, as well as Prince Zheng, asking me to dispatch some soldiers to Guangchang County to assist in the defense for more than a month. He said that he would just wait until the Jiujiang soldiers arrived."

With that said, Yang Minggao handed the two manuscripts to Tong Guoqi. The latter and Zhou Lianggong put their heads together and considered it carefully. When they looked at each other, they turned to Yang Minggao and said: "Yang Shuai,

According to the imperial court system, we are under the control of Prince Zheng, and the Jiangxi Governor’s Yamen has no authority to command Fujian Green Camp. There is no seal of Prince Zheng on the Jiangxi side of the document, only a large seal of the Jiangxi Governor’s Yamen. And Prince Zheng only has the seal of the Jiangxi Governor’s Yamen.

It is said that we are just assigning troops as appropriate..."

Of course the two of them understood what Zhou Lianggong meant. The word "discretion" clearly meant that Jidu did not want to let them make the decision on this matter. In this way, the allocation of troops was effective, and Jidu was a

Taking the overall situation into consideration; if there is a problem with the defense of Xincheng County and those passes, they will be blamed, and Jidu can completely push back the blame.

The text was sent to Yang Minggao, but if something went wrong, they, the civil servants who assisted Zan Hua in military affairs, would not be able to escape. Tong Guoqi cursed in his heart, these Manchu nobles had only been in the customs for a few years, and they had already learned to be so slick.

He had lost his "Manchu true character". However, he selectively forgot that in this regard, Prince Zheng was nothing compared to him. Otherwise, he would be the worst guilty of losing a province.

He had to be made a slave of Ning Guta and an armored man, like Liu Qingtai, and there was nothing new about even having his whole family executed. How could there be today's meritorious deeds?

Secretly scolding, the problem still needs to be solved. Regarding whether to send troops, from that moment of looking at each other, Zhou Lianggong and Tong Guoqi could tell that the other party held the same attitude as themselves. And this moment of looking at each other

, also for Yang Minggao to have a panoramic view of.

"What Fujun and Fantai said is true. The general responded with a sneer when he first saw this order. However, the messenger claimed to be a close family member of Governor Zhang. He can guarantee us on behalf of Governor Zhang that as long as

We in Fujian are willing to help with this matter, and we will restrain the officials below in the future, and the gentry will no longer embarrass us, and they will also remember this friendship and so on."

With just this word, the nature of the matter changed from an order to a transaction. Tong Guoqi and Zhou Lianggong certainly understood this truth. If we talk about the sordidness between the two parties in the past few years, it is most relaxing and enjoyable to watch it. However, in person

In officialdom, many things cannot be acted on impulse.

With their deal concluded this time, the gray income of a county will be relieved, and the support point behind it will be strengthened. Thinking further in detail, the Qing army is now in the southwest, and after the Ming army in Yunnan and Guizhou is eliminated,

It is inevitable that the gun will be turned to attack Fujian and Guangdong. At that time, Jiangxi will inevitably have to bear the food and wages of Fujian. By forming a good relationship now, Jiangxi can feel at ease with the great achievements of regaining Fujian in the future; and Jiangxi will go all out

, it was also a great help to their purpose of retaking Fujian and making meritorious deeds.

Speaking of which, in the past few years, the war between the Ming and Qing armies in Jiangxi has always been concentrated in Ji'an. In the final analysis, it still depends on which Ganjiang River can allow the Ming army to go straight to Nanchang on the offensive.

As for Guangchang County in the south of Jianchang Prefecture, although it borders Shicheng County controlled by the Ming Army in Ganzhou, both places are within the northern foothills of the Wuyi Mountains, and there are no rivers that can transport the grain and grass needed by a large-scale army. Even if

After capturing Guangchang County, the Ming army wanted to penetrate into the Poyang Lake area, the core of Jiangxi Province, and also needed to seize Nanfeng County, Jianchang Fucheng and Fuzhou Fucheng along the Jianchang River in sequence. Then they followed the river.

Next, in the south of Nanchang Prefecture, it enters the Ganjiang waterway through the Yunshao River connecting the Jianchang River and the Ganjiang River, thus completing the intersection with Nanchang.

In this way, it is really not cost-effective to go around in such a big circle. Moreover, even if we quickly break through many prefectures and counties along the way and successfully enter the Ganjiang River, we will still have to face the flanking threat of the local Qing army group in Ji'an Prefecture.

, it is really not what a wise person does.

Of course, if they could make dumplings, it would be quite profitable for the Ming army. However, the connection between Shicheng County and Guangchang County was not just a matter of lack of sufficient waterway transport capacity, but also the need to cross mountains and ridges.

There is no risk for a small-scale army, but it is really not safe for a Ming army of at most three to four thousand people to attack cities and seize territory in the hinterland of Jiangxi, travel thousands of miles, and finally block the Qing army's retreat in Ji'an, or to attack and capture Nanchang Jiancheng.

Reality. If it is a large-scale army, and it brings the Hongyi artillery team, it will be easy to capture cities and territories. However, the ability of this route to supply military supplies and food is very questionable...

It is not unreasonable that the armies of the Ming and Qing dynasties knew that the other side had heavy military groups on the front lines in Ji'an and Ganzhou, but they still chose to fight to the death there.

In Jianchang Mansion, it is not that there were no confrontations between the two sides, but the scale was limited to horse exploration and night-time competition. The only one time was at the beginning of last year. The Qing government received the news that

The Ming army selected a group of elite troops to raid a town in the south of Guangchang County, planning to use this place to open up the situation. As a result, they naturally encountered a fierce counterattack by the heroic Green Camp of Jianchang Prefecture, beheading more than a dozen people, and recaptured the town.

, foiled the terrifying conspiracy of the traitor Chen Kai!

Naturally, Tong Guoqi, Yang Minggao and the others knew about this matter, but it was just a desperate act by a group of bandits in those lean days. However, everyone tacitly understood this matter of claiming credit and passing the blame. Moreover, neither party had developed to the point where

In a life-and-death situation, it was natural for him to be an owl and at most complain in private about the behavior of the civil servants and generals in Jianchang Prefecture.

Guangchang County will not become the main battlefield, and it is not even a battlefield. This time, just in case, it is more of an attempt to achieve mutual trust. Now and in the future, it will be a win-win situation, and there will be something to consider

There's space.

"How many troops does Jiangxi need us to send there?"

Quantity is very important. After all, they are also shouldering part of the military pressure on Fujian. Tong Guoqi and Zhou Lianggong looked at Yang Minggao, who reported the number of requests made privately by Jiangxi. After hearing it clearly, they felt a surge in their hearts.

A stone also completely fell to the ground.

"It's only 1,500 to 2,000 soldiers. It won't shake our defense line."

Tong Guoqi twirled his beard and nodded, and Zhou Lianggong also agreed. The governor and the chief envoy all agreed. They, the Fujian civil and military officials, had unified their opinions. Immediately, Yang Minggao sent one of his deputy generals to lead the bidding left

The battalion and the head of a battalion of the deputy general of Yanping Mansion went south to support the Qing army in Jiangxi in the "battle" against the "invasion" of the Ming army in Ganzhou.

The deputy general is a trusted general who has followed Yang Minggao for many years. He is also a tiger general in the Fujian Green Camp Army. He must be at the forefront in every battle. He has climbed to his current position only by virtue of his bravery. The guerrilla general he brought with him is the deputy general of Yanping Prefecture.

, is also a confidant of the deputy general of Yanping Prefecture, and is well regarded in the army. In this case, not only to assist in defense, but also to accumulate some merits, it is natural for Shangguan to stick close to his confidants, which is also the due obligation.

Two thousand Green Camps went upstream from the Lishui River to Jianchang Fucheng, then turned to the Jianchang River and continued upstream. The food and grass along the way were naturally borne by the Jiangxi side. Not only were they doubled according to the rules of the guest army,

Pay was paid in full, and an extra portion was provided, so that everyone in this hungry and thirsty army could get their hands on the "meat and meat".

There was plenty of food and grass, and extra money was available, so his morale was high. Adhering to the will of Tong Guoqi and Yang Minggao, the deputy general also kept in mind military discipline, and things that disturbed the people along the way were greatly reduced. It can be said that the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

After passing Jianchang Fucheng, the army continued to advance along the river. Nanfeng County along the way had obviously received instructions from Shangguan, and the treatment was the same as in Fucheng. However, the city gates were closed and they were not allowed to enter the city. This was the same as in Fucheng.

No two. In view of the camp that had been built in advance and the food and wine for the laborers, they did not intend to care too much about it. However, they were worried that they would not be allowed to enter the city when they got to Guangchang County.

of.

Sure enough, when they arrived in Guangchang County, they were already greeted by officers from the local green camp and the county magistrate. As soon as they opened the door, they were placed in a camp that had been built outside the city, and they were euphemistically called "Cheng".

The power of holding the corner.

"how?"

"As expected by the general, the Fujian generals started making noises when they heard that they were not allowed to enter the city, and threatened to withdraw to Xincheng County. I made peace with Lieutenant General Wang after they agreed to let the prostitutes in the city enter the camp.

However, as the general expected, they still looked at the general's face, so the humble position is just a step up."

"This is because you are clever. If it were another person, you might not be able to pass this step well."

"It all depends on the general who knows people well and is good at assigning them. He dares not take credit for his humble position."

The Fujian Green Camp was well settled, and the officers who were waiting for the contact returned to the city. They handed over their tasks with their generals, looking at the camp in the distance and the labor troops filing out of the city gate at their feet.

However, his general knew everything about him before he went there. It was said that the Jiangxi governor's office had no intention of letting them just help defend here for a few months. This was because the Ming and Qing armies were fighting fiercely in Ji'an.

Jiujiang Green Camp is more likely to go there to help in the battle, rather than going to their "no shit" place.

During the war, although the infiltration by the Ming army's detective horses here was far from comparable to that of Ji'an, it was far beyond what their garrison of only two hundred soldiers could withstand. After several months, they were still being infiltrated.

The Ming army's scouting horses were rubbing against the ground, and the life of the local green camp was so frightening. The two thousand green camp outside the city were a panacea for them. But the problem was that their supporting army also

It is something that must be guarded against.

A similar conversation was held in the county government office. The only difference was that the magistrate of Guangchang County was more concerned about the guest troops disturbing the people. Moreover, although Guangchang County has increased its troops, it is not a war zone after all.

Autumn harvest, especially this year’s autumn taxes still have to be paid in full.

After all, this is about the support of the county magistrate, and it is also about the life and fortune of the guard. Fortunately, the other side was also ordered to come to cooperate.

In this way, while suppressing the temper and restraining the soldiers, while being careful and doing their best to welcome them, everything is fine. However, the Jiangxi side's thoughts are not the same as what they said to Yang Minggao and Tong Guoqi.

It will eventually pass, and when that time comes...

They lived their lives cautiously. Fortunately, they were all old soldiers and still had the ability to find trouble. They only had to wait for the reinforcements to rest for a few days, and the fatigue of the march was gone. When there was no place to vent their energy, the garrison

A request for sending troops was sent just in time.
