"Jianghu Mountain Town? I heard that it is an important market town in Guixi County comparable to Yingtan and Shangqing. It seems to be only more than eighty miles away from the county seat."

"That place seems to be where the four major bandits of Jiangxi were once stationed."

Outside Guixi County, in the military camp in Fubiao, Fujian Province, two Qing army officers were reporting the news they had learned to Tong Guoqi in the Chinese army's tent.

Yesterday, Guixi County received news that the Ming army entered the territory of Guangxin Prefecture and began to build a camp in Jianghushan Town. It was a Ming army under the banner of room and camp, and the scale was not large.

There were about one or two hundred people. According to intelligence, the weapons seemed to have nothing to do with the supervisory standard under Chen Kai's direct administration. They had some long spears, rattan waist knives and fire guns.

These two officers were both from Fujian Green Camp, and they also knew something about the organization of the Ming army. According to what they explained to Tong Guoqi earlier, the word "fangsu" comes from the twenty-eight constellations.

In addition to the five admirals and towns where the generals camp, as well as the five towns and two associations where the generals camp, there are also twenty-eight star camps. These camp heads have always been used as supplements and auxiliaries to the army. For example, when Zheng Chenggong swept through Fujian, he was stationed in Fuzhou

Chen Kai of Chen Kai sent these troops to various fronts to assist in the war, and also sent them to garrison the recovered counties. It seems that he also directly changed the numbers to supplement the towns that were seriously damaged or needed to be expanded. They can probably be regarded as the head of the field battalion.

Second line troops.

It is now November 23rd, and the Ming and Qing armies have been fighting fiercely on the front lines of Jianchang Prefecture and Fuzhou Prefecture for half a month. The military information that Chen Kai had requested for Zheng Chenggong earlier was sent from Fuzhou to Quzhou, and then from Quzhou

When we arrived at the front of the army, if Jidu hadn't remembered Tong Guoqi's desire to be convicted and meritorious service, it is estimated that even if this information passed through the two hands of Guangxin Prefecture and Guixi County, it might not be his turn.

A large number of Fujian Ming troops entered Jiangxi from Shangguan, and Chen Kai had the confidence to fight a war of attrition with Dasu. At the same time, as the Ming army in Jianchang Prefecture became increasingly powerful, the Qing troops in Guangxin Prefecture also became more powerful.

They became uneasy. As a result, they conducted more and more careful investigations into the southwest mountainous area. As a result, it was unclear whether it was good luck or bad luck, but this incident really happened to them.

"Whether it is outflanking Ji'an Mansion or seizing Guangxin Mansion, it is a good place for Chen Ni to break the deadlock. He now has many soldiers and generals, so he has to attack in multiple ways, even if he tries his luck.

Last touch."

"What Mr. Fu Jun said is absolutely true. After thinking about it, I also think so."

"The general also thinks so."

At this moment, the two officers standing in front of Tong Guoqi were not from the group of green soldiers he had brought out of Jianchang Mansion earlier, but they were transferred to Jidu Xingwen by him just a few days ago.

Of these two guys, one was the lieutenant general who led his troops and servants to escape when the army was defeated; the other was a former Yanping Prefecture Green Camp guerrilla, who led his troops around after he abandoned the city and fled.

After walking around a long circle, they actually reached Guixi County one step ahead of him. The former had dozens of soldiers, including elite servants, while the latter had nearly 400 troops under his command.

As for why Tong Guoqi chose to protect them from Jidu at this time, it was not because of the more than 500 well-organized Green Camp soldiers, but because the two of them had the rank of a deputy general and a guerrilla general. Because, the one he brought back

Among the two thousand soldiers of the Green Camp, there was not a single officer above the command rank. Even if he was promoted along the way, he would only be promoted to the garrison level at most.

As a rule, a governor's battalion is led by a deputy general as commander, followed by guerrillas, garrison officers, generals, generals, and a series of other officers to form a top-down chain of command. This is the imperial court system. The Qing court

This is also the case with the Ming court, or in other words, the Qing court learned this from the Ming court. In this way, the lack of senior officers is likely to face the possibility of being mixed with sand. This is not only

It was very detrimental to his next plan. More importantly, after escaping from Jianchang Mansion, Tong Guoqi had the idea of ​​​​controlling an army, just like Chen Kai's supervisor...

Of the two guys in front of him, one abandoned the army and the other abandoned the city. However, in line with the principle of using it once and not working hard, Tong Guoqi asked Jidu to protect them and perform meritorious service. After the two men's hanging hearts were slightly settled, these

He has been helping Tong Guoqi train his soldiers and maintain military discipline, which can be regarded as fulfilling his duties.

Now, the Ming army has appeared on the border of Guangxin Prefecture. In terms of intelligence, Tong Guoqi has already been ahead of the Jiangxi civil and military forces. Not only do they have a better understanding of the organization of the southeastern Ming army, but the military intelligence analysis based on this is also more effective.

"General, I heard that the Guixi County government seems to have asked a storyteller to question him."

The main responsibilities of the county government are administration and litigation. They can intervene in some small-scale civil unrest or clan fights in the local area, but this time it is the Ming army. This kind of matter should be left to

It would be fine if Lvying handled it and the county government was responsible for some logistical work. But after all, it happened in this county, and it was not even a hundred miles away from the county seat. Whether it was curiosity or worry, it was inevitable that a sick person would seek medical treatment in a hurry. As long as they

There is no harm in designing a Ten Thousand Immortal Formation according to "The Romance of the Gods".

Of course, the Ming army of this size was obviously not something that the green battalions of the county could handle. Therefore, while reporting the Jidu, the chief military officer of Guangxin Prefecture personally led the team with a thousand green battalions, infantry, and cavalry.

We have all the artillery available, and we plan to play a game of lion versus rabbit, so as to completely defeat Chen Kai's evil intentions against Guangxin Mansion.

The Green Camp of Guangxin Prefecture marched westward. After arriving in Guixi County, I don't know whether it was intentional or because the camp in Fubiao, Fujian Province happened to be not far from the official road. These Jiangxi Green Camps swaggered through the gate in front of the camp gate of Fujian Green Camp.

.

In the Chinese army tent in the distance, Tong Guoqi watched all this with no expression on his face. It wasn't until the green camp of Guangxin Mansion gradually disappeared from their sight that he sneered: "A bunch of people who don't know whether to live or die" and turned back to the Chinese army tent.

Afterwards, he actually asked his generals to prepare for the expedition.

As expected by Tong Guoqi, in less than three days, only a group of defeated soldiers were left in the green camp. However, after all, the commander-in-chief of Guangxin Mansion was not as stubborn as the admiral of Fujian. Once the army was defeated, he would almost never

Hesitant, he turned around and fled. However, it didn't matter that he ran away like this. The Ming army who had not caught the big fish seemed so angry that they simply rushed out of the mountainous area in the south of Guixi County. Looking at the momentum, it seemed that they were trying to kill Guixi.

Xi County has also been taken away!

"How many soldiers and horses do the bandits have?!"

If it weren't for his unseemly appearance, Tong Guoqi would have grabbed the collar of the commander-in-chief of Guangxin Mansion. But even so, the angry glare still shocked the general who had just recovered from the shock.

.

For a commander-in-chief, being pulled by the collar like this, especially in front of the officers of Fujian Green Camp, the local magistrate, and the subordinates of his own Green Camp, it was absolutely difficult for him to save his face. However, Tong Guoqi was a governor, a bannerman, or a national

Uncle, there is no identity that he, a Han general, can match. What's more, the Ming army is pursuing victory, and Guangxin Mansion's mobile troops have been completely lost by him. Now all they can count on are these defeated soldiers in Fujian.

At least not with multiple backers.

"To be honest with Tong Fujun, the previous intelligence was wrong. There are not just one or two hundred bandits, but five or six hundred people, a full battalion!"

Of course, there is no such thing as a thousand men fighting five or six hundred men, with twice the strength and returning with a huge defeat. Fortunately, he can be the commander-in-chief, and his knowledge is still much better than ordinary people: "This battle is indeed

The general was careless and fell into an ambush by the bandits. However, the bandits had deliberately hidden the general's flag earlier, and this time the general saw clearly. The person who came was Lin Dexiao, the younger brother of the famous bandit general Lin Dezhong!"

Lin Dexiao, this name really surprised everyone here. To be honest, this Ming army general had not appeared in the previous major counterattacks of the Ming army. Now he is just a guerrilla general, using an unknown name.

It can be said that the words to describe this generation are very appropriate. But the problem is that this unknown person has a very famous brother. After all, he is the Ming army commander who defeated the Eight Banners Army. The brother is so good at fighting that he must be the younger brother.

He's not a guy to mess with either.

Upon hearing this name, Tong Guoqi's anger disappeared without a trace in an instant. He gently released his right hand holding the collar, frowned, and paused for a moment before speaking again: "Lin Dexiao is Chen Ni's confidant. Since Chen Ni let

He came to Guangxin Mansion to supervise the construction of the camp, obviously intending to use Jianghushan Town as a breakthrough point to invade Guangxin Mansion. As the vanguard of the army, the combat power of the camp in that room would not be any lower than that of the elite bandits.

."

Tong Guoqi analyzed the current situation calmly and calmly. When the commander-in-chief heard this, he felt as if he had been granted amnesty and repeatedly affirmed Tong Guoqi's judgment. So, when Tong Guoqi expressed the need to report these judgments to Prince Zheng Jidu,

The commander-in-chief was so moved that he was about to shed tears and quickly expressed his willingness to countersign the report.

Soon, Tong Guoqi's urgent report was scribbled down. The commander-in-chief read it carefully and confirmed that Tong Guoqi had not secretly planted any nails. He was even more relieved. However, Tan Ma found out that the Ming army had already fought its way out of the southern mountainous area.

He is heading towards Guixi County. Compared with the punishment that may come, this is the real imminence. After all, a defeat is already a defeat. If he loses the county seat again, he is a Han general.

How to bear it?

"The thief Lin is so bold, there must be bandits behind him. The final general Dare Qing Tong Fujun led Fujian Paoze into the city and guarded the Guixi County town with our troops."

Although he didn’t know whose sake Tong Guoqi pulled him out of, since he was willing to help, he would naturally reciprocate the favor. Of course, this was more of an attitude. After all, Guixi County is located in

On the north bank of the Xinjiang River, if the Ming army wanted to attack, they had to cross the Xinjiang River first. Whether they had that many ships was a matter of debate.

However, Tong Guoqi did not agree with this suggestion. He just shook his head and continued to think. Seeing this, the commander-in-chief gritted his teeth: "The thieves are powerful, I will finally let Tong Fujun lead Fujian Paoze into the city and guard it together."

During the defense of this city, I am willing to obey orders without hesitation!"

From guarding together to obeying orders, the general soldier can be said to have invested a lot of money. This is not only a change of command authority, but also involves the sharing of contributions after guarding the city in the future. At this moment, the general soldier saw that Tong Guoqi pulled him.

He pinched his nose to establish this relationship. However, Tong Guoqi's courage was far beyond his imagination.

"The Honbu Hall has no intention of competing with Zeng Shuai for the command of the city. The thieves are now fierce. If our troops defend the city, the south of Xinjiang River will no longer be owned by the imperial court. Chen Ni has many tricks, and lest his conspiracy succeeds, the Honbu Hall

Decided to lead Fujian Fubiao southward to fight against the bandits."

When these words fell upon his ears, the commander-in-chief still didn’t understand that this Tong Guoqi clearly had the sole responsibility for repelling the Ming army and would not be shared with him at all!

Comparing his feelings, Tong Guoqi first lost Fujian, and then Xincheng County, and his guilt was enough to warrant the guillotine. When he saw the opportunity to perform meritorious deeds, he would naturally be like that maggot who saw the stinky dog ​​shit and couldn't wait.

He pounced on him. However, he had just been defeated, so why didn't he need to take the blame and perform meritorious service?

I was filled with anger, but once I thought of Tong Guoqi's identity, my confidence in fighting with him was like a balloon deflating, and it wilted in an instant. Until now, I could only comfort myself, at least Tong Guoqi had just been for

With its endorsement, the unknown mysterious power probably only has so much face.

As if he saw what the commander-in-chief was thinking, Tong Guoqi immediately said loudly: "Zeng Shuai led his troops to defend the city. Our headquarters will report to His Royal Highness Prince Zheng. It was arranged by our officer. If our headquarters can defeat the enemy, Zeng Shuai will do it."

You should be responsible for guarding the retreat for me; if the headquarters fails to do so, please also ask Commander Zeng to guard the city to prevent bandits from threatening the flanks of the Quzhou army."

Having said that, Tong Guoqi, as the uncle of the country, actually bowed to General Bing, a Han military general, and then strode away with the generals of Fujian Green Camp. However, that sense of no hesitation really made General Bing stunned for a long time, and even in the end
Chapter completed!
