After the imperial edict was issued, two days later, Mulima led 10,000 xhq troops and marched south in a mighty manner.
After receiving the order, Ah and Shandong's Green Camp did not dare to delay. In accordance with the requirements of the military order, they all rushed to Yangzhou to wait for Mulima's arrival.
Yes, this time Mulima used Yangzhou as the base camp to counter the rebellion.
Mulima and Obai have analyzed it and found that it is no longer safe in JS Province and south of the river.
For safety reasons, it is most appropriate to place it in Yangzhou.
Moreover, Suzhou Prefecture was still in the hands of the imperial court. As long as the army crossed the Yangtze River, Suzhou Prefecture could block the Taiping Army's westward escape route and prevent them from fleeing to the sea.
As for escaping to the west or south?
That is seeking death.
To the west and south of Jiangsu are ah and Zhejiang. ah Green Camp and Zhejiang Green Camp have long been prepared to block all westward escape routes.
In short, this time it seemed that only 60,000 troops were fighting the Taiping Army head-on. In fact, several provinces were encircled and suppressed together, blocking all escape routes for the Taiping Army, and they could only fight head-on with the counter-insurgency army.
Of course, all this was arranged by Obai.
Although Ao Bai looked down upon Zhu Yang and the Taiping Army, he did not underestimate them either. He despised them strategically and valued them tactically.
Another reason is that the leader of the army this time is his brother, so naturally nothing can go wrong.
As soon as the Qing army moved, the spies arranged by Zhu Yang received the news.
After all, the large-scale transfer of Green Camp cannot be hidden from others.
However, Zhu Yang has not received the news from the capital yet. Even so, the large-scale mobilization of green camps from several provinces is enough for Zhu Yang to pay great attention to it.
He called everyone together and said: "Everyone, the Manchu Tatars are making big moves."
Everyone looked at Zhu Yang.
"According to the news I received, green camps in several provinces surrounding Jiangsu have mobilized on a large scale. They seem to be moving to Jiangsu, and the target should be us."
After hearing what Zhu Yang said, Xia Huailong said directly: "General, give me three thousand soldiers and horses, and I will keep them and beat the shit out of them."
Today, Xia Huailong is very swollen.
He felt that apart from Zhu Yang, he was already invincible.
Zhu Yang glanced at him and said angrily: "Do you think you are invincible? How about we practice?"
Xia Huailong suddenly panicked.
He didn't dare to practice with Zhu Yang.
You must know that Zhu Yang gave them sparring training in order to let them familiarize themselves with his power as soon as possible.
Needless to say the outcome.
His nose was bruised and his face was swollen after being beaten.
"Don't dare, don't dare."
"Shut up if you don't dare and listen to Mr. Tinglin's analysis honestly."
Xia Huailong smiled and shut up.
No one was surprised by this at all.
This Xia Huailong is so fierce that even his head is full of muscles, sometimes not as good as his brains.
Gu Yanwu thought for a while and looked at Wu Weiye: "Meicun, what do you want to say first?"
Wu Weiye knew that Gu Yanwu was giving him a chance, and he did not refuse.
"General, colleagues, in my opinion, since the green battalions from several provinces are being mobilized, it means that the leading general must be sent from the Manchu capital, and he must also be a Manchu minister, otherwise the Manchu rule
I'm sure I won't trust so many troops in the hands of one person."
"So now, the two things we have to do are to find out the details of the mobilization of green camp troops in the surrounding provinces, who the leading general is, and how many troops he has brought from the capital, so that we can deal with it better."
Zhu Yang nodded, what Wu Weiye said was right.
If you want to deal with it, you must understand the intelligence on the other side.
Gu Yanwu added: "While we understand the intelligence on the other side, we must also strengthen the preparation of our Taiping Army. I suggest recruiting another 10,000 soldiers as a backup, just in case."
Zhu Yang thought for a while and agreed with Gu Yanwu's idea.
Because if this battle is won, the Taiping Army can take advantage of the situation and sweep across the entire JS Province, at least occupying the several state capitals south of the river.
Thirty thousand soldiers are indeed not enough.
Next, everyone performed their duties and took action.
Zhu Yang had nothing to do, so he got up and looked into the golden light. He was going to explore the Manchu capital along the canal.
Cross the river, come to Yangzhou, and then go north along the canal beside Yangzhou.
At this time, Zhu Yang suddenly discovered a problem, that is, the canal was like a dragon running across the north and south, connecting the dragon veins in the north and south.
This makes the north and south dragon veins connected and the north and south dragon qi connected.
Zhu Yang had to admire the courage and wisdom of the ancients.
No wonder, by the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal had become a very important artery for the imperial court.
A special water transport governor was even arranged to take charge.
Along the entire canal, there are millions of people who rely on this canal for food.
Today's governor of water transportation is named Cai Shiying, and he is a second minister.
That is to say, he was originally an official of the Ming Dynasty, but later surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so he became an official.
To be honest, Zhu Yang really wanted to put a big vacuum handprint down and level the entire Caoyun Yamen.
However, after thinking about it in the end, I decided not to do it.
Zhu Yang was sure that if he did this, someone would definitely come to his door.
Moreover, there were so many Han people under the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty at this time. If they wantonly massacred Manchu Qing officials, it is not ruled out that the Manchu Qing court would take it out on the Han people under its rule.
Just in case, let these dog officials live for a few more days.
Along the way north of the river, Zhu Yang saw the prosperity of the canal.
However, when he flew to Shandong, he saw several huge official ships heading south with waving flags.
These official ships are the official ships of Mulima.
Although Mulima is a veteran in the army, he is no longer what he was before when he was almost fifty years old and has long passed the age where he can show his bravery.
Therefore, he asked his deputy general to lead the army of cavalry south, while he himself took an official ship and went straight to Yangzhou along the canal.
Taking a boat is not only not slow, but also very comfortable. You don’t have to endure the pain of long distances.
The rate of corruption of the Manchu nobles was astonishing.
Mulima is just a microcosm.
Originally, Zhu Yang and Mulima might have missed it.
But an unexpected incident caused the two to face each other.
Because Mulima's official ship is extremely fast, and with the flag on it, all the boats in the canal know that it is the official ship of a high official of the imperial court. Naturally, no one dares to touch his brow, and they all stay away.
.
However, because of this guy's unscrupulous behavior, some boats were still unable to escape and were hit by his huge official boat. The larger ones were okay and stabilized the hull in front of them. Those small boats immediately fell into pieces, and the fishermen on the boat were directly
He fell into the water and was in a panic.
Not only did the people on Mulima's boat not save anyone, but they laughed as they watched.
Zhu Yang originally wanted to help and teach the people on the official ship a lesson.
But before he could take action, he saw a heroic woman in black walking across the waves from the shore. In just two or three strokes, she rescued all the people who had fallen into the water to the shore.
Then, the woman returned to the canal with her sword in hand, stood on the waves, and said to the evil slave on the official ship: "You evil slaves, you use your power to bully others, do evil, regard human life as child's play, you should be killed!"
After saying that, the three-foot green peak in his hand rose up, turned into a beam of blue light and shot towards the evil slave on the official ship.
Zhu Yang saw clearly from the sky that this woman had a graceful figure and a heroic appearance. She was a strange woman who hated evil and a heroic heroine.
