When the Jinli army went to the southeast to pursue Zhang Huangyan and the Zhejiang army, the emperor's special envoy and cabinet scholar E Sehei entered the city from Yifeng Gate under the **** of a team of Manchu soldiers.
Ese Hei brought an imperial decree from the emperor to Yue Le. Although there was nothing scolding Yue Le in the imperial decree, Yue Le knew that the emperor hated him a lot. If he were the emperor, he would probably be furious, because Jiangxi is too important, and it is the key place to control the throat of the four provinces. Now it has fallen into the hands of the Taiping Army. This not only interrupted the connection between Jiangnan and Huguang, but also exposed Zhejiang. Under the front of the Taiping Army, Jiangnan finally became tense again because of the favorable situation of the defeat of the pirates, and the imperial expedition became dangerous and unpredictable.
The Shunzhi decree clearly required Yue Lingsu to lead the army back to Anqing, to seize the opportunity to recover Jiujiang and capture Nanchang. Yue Le felt embarrassed about this, because he did not think that Jiangxi could be recaptured with more than 30,000 green battalions under his command. You must know that when Jin Shengheng and Wang Deren rebelled against Nanchang, the regent Dorgon sent Zhenghuangqi Gushan Ezhen Tan Tai and Xianghuangqi Gushan Ezhen Heluohui to lead 40,000 Manchu, Mongolian and Han troops from Beijing. Quickly went south to quell the chaos; and ordered Gushan Ezhenzhu Mala and Jiangnan Governor Ma Guozhu to lead the troops from Jiangning up the river; at the same time, ordered the Dingnan King Kong Youde, Jingnan King Shang Kexi, and Jingnan King Geng Zhongming who were fighting in Hunan to lead the army. The Ministry cooperated with the army of Tan Tai.
The three-way army, the three-pronged approach, has a total force of no less than 100,000 people, and there are more than 20,000 elite soldiers from Mongolia and Mongolia. With such a superior force, the Qing army also spent nine cattle and two tigers to survive under the city of Nanchang. After half a year of soldiers, the besieged city was depleted of food and fire, killing people for food, demolishing houses for cooking, and finally taking Nanchang City under a fierce attack and recovering Jiangxi. If there is enough food in Nanchang City, God knows when this battle will be fought.
With so many soldiers and horses back then, with such a huge advantage, it was difficult to regain Jiangxi. Naturally, Yue Le did not think that his army alone would be able to conquer Jiujiang and capture Nanchang. Moreover, the Taiping Army is not comparable to Jin and Wang. There are lessons from Prince Jian, Jidu, Heping, Shang Kexi, and Ezhen Luotuo. Yue Le thinks that it is prudent to recover Jiangxi and ask for stability, rather than let him take him immediately as the emperor said. soldiers to fight. If he misses, not only is Jiangxi hopeless, but the entire Huguang and Jiangnan are in danger of falling.
"Zhang Chaolin and Liu Guangbi will die without redemption!"
Yue Le gritted his teeth and cursed. When he received an urgent report from Zhang Chaolin asking for help, although the Taiping army had captured Ganzhou, the main force of the Jiangxi Green Battalion, led by Admiral Liu Guangbi, was resisting the Taiping army in Ji'an, so Yue Le decided to lead the army to Jiangning. In his opinion, Liu Guangbi really couldn't defeat the Taiping Army, but he could hold on to the city for a month or two. At that time, he would lead his army to Jiujiang to reinforce Nanchang. It is impossible for the army to take Nanchang, and it may even be annihilated by him in one fell swoop. At that time, Yue Le would truly be the number one king.
But who would have thought that things would come this far? Why Yue Le refused to admit that it was because he led the army to Jiangning and Nanchang fell without help. He only blamed the loss of Jiangxi on Zhang Chaolin and Liu Guangbi, saying that they were incompetent. lead to the fall of Gansu.
Forehead Hei was not good at arguing with Prince An, so he just persuaded: "My lord, Zhang and Liu are both dead, and now is not the time to care about the dead. The emperor means that you will immediately lead the army to recover Jiujiang and Nanchang, Not a moment can be delayed."
Yue Le pondered and asked later, "Where did the emperor drive?"
The black forehead said: "We have arrived in Xuzhou."
"So fast?"
Yue Le was shocked. The last time he received the news, the imperial driver was still in Jining, and he arrived in Xuzhou in a few days?
Ese Hei explained that it was only the emperor and the imperial cavalry who rushed to Xuzhou first, and the army was still behind. In addition, the Mongolian army transferred from outside the mouth had also arrived in Henan. The emperor meant to wait for the army to arrive in Yangzhou before deciding whether to go to Jiangning. Or go directly to Anqing and Yue Lejun to join forces.
Yue Le did not speak after hearing this, and the black forehead took out two secret decrees, telling him that one was the secret decree for the emperor to let Guan Zhongzhong capture Ma Fengzhi, and the other was the secret decree for Liang Huafeng to capture Guan Zhongzhong.
"In addition to Ma Fengzhi and Guan Zhongzhong, the emperor meant that Jiang Guozhu lost his land and abandoned the city when the pirates came, and he should also be arrested. In addition, some Manchurian generals in Jiangning City, such as the co-leader Fei Yazhu and others, should also be punished. [Love ↑ Go△ Small ↓ said △ Net WwW.AiQu】”
"Is this too hasty?"
Yue Le's brows were furrowed. He didn't know why the young emperor was so eager to deal with the crimes of the Jiangnan generals. Even the Manchu generals had to be killed. It must be known that these people are still needed when the world is not at peace. If there is any trouble caused by the arrest of these generals, wouldn't that add fuel to the fire and create chaos for one's own family? If Ma Fengzhi and Guan Xiaozhong join forces to cause chaos, the situation in Jiangnan will be ruined again in an instant.
The black forehead gave a wry smile, what the master is going to do, how can the slave be stopped. At that time, when the master had just assumed power, he slaughtered the generals of Zongxun in Manzhou in the name of eliminating Dorgon's party members. Nikan, the shellfish at the time of entry, also became the commander-in-chief of the army. In the following years, the Manchu soldiers suffered repeated defeats on the front line and lost many Manchu children. If the gang of generals who were able to conquer and fight well in the past were there, where would it be Jidu, Doni, and Roto to lead the army, and there would not be today's dangerous situation.
Yue Le sighed, knowing that he could not stop this. He ordered Ghoshha to fetch Lang Tingzuo, the governor of Liangjiang. Liang Huafeng had already brought troops to Susong the day before yesterday, so he might not be in the city. For the secret edict, Eisehei would have to go to Susong in person.
After Lang Tingzuo came over, Yue Le told him about the loss of Jiangxi and the secret order. Lang Tingzuo was stunned at the time, and he couldn't believe the emperor's decision, but he wisely did not say what was wrong with the will, but said The sage is wise, he has long noticed that Ma Fengzhi and Guan allegiance are inappropriate.
"But Jiang Guozhu can't be arrested right now. We have to wait for Guan Zhongzhong to arrest Ma Fengzhi, and Liang Huafeng to arrest Guan Zhongzhong before he can arrest Jiang Guozhu. Otherwise, the rumors will be leaked and things will be irritable." Lang Tingzuo came up with an old and serious idea.
Yue Le and Eisehei nodded in agreement, arresting Jiang Guozhu as a civilian was secondary, mainly Ma Fengzhi and Guan Xiaozhong, the two leaders of the army. After arresting those two people, Jiang Guozhu could only be captured without hesitation.
"Then when does the prince plan to lead the army back to Anqing?" Lang Tingzuo was more concerned about whether Prince An really wanted to return to Anqing to recover Jiangxi.
Yue Le was a little unhappy when he heard the words, and snorted: "I have to wait for Jin Li to take Zhang Huangyan. It's not too late for this king to leave, right? Why, the Governor thinks that I am in the way in Jiangning?"
Lang Tingzuo hurriedly smiled and said, "My lord, the lower official doesn't mean to drive you away. This Jiangning, you can stay as long as you want."
Yue Le ignored Lang Tingzuo. He didn't want to go to Anqing, but the imperial decree clearly wanted him to go, so he was very distressed.
Forehead Hei came to Jiangning, in addition to bringing the emperor's secret order to take people, he urged Prince An to return to Anqing to seize Jiujiang. Seeing that Yue Le was not very enthusiastic about returning to Anqing, he was busy and persuaded a few words. The implication is that you have to return this Prince Anqing, otherwise the emperor will know that you are still in Jiangning, and I am afraid that Lei Ting will be furious again. .
Yue Le knew that he had to express his stance, and was about to say that he would return to Anqing the next day, so it could be considered an explanation for the emperor. Just as he was about to speak, Zhu Guozhi, the political envoy of Zuo Bu in Jiangning, rushed over to report that it was the Lishui county magistrate who had found the trace of Zhang Huangyan, a thief in Zhejiang.
"Isn't Zhang Thief in Wuhu? Why did he go to Lishui?!"
Yue Le and Lang Tingzuo were both shocked by the news and both stood up. Lang Tingzuo took over Lishui County's report from Zhu Guozhi. The official document on it was complete with large seals, and it clearly stated that there were harassment by Zhejiang bandits in the territory. The first thief Zhang Huangyan spread rumors in the four townships and encouraged the people to rebel. Now Lishui County has been closed, and the magistrate requested Jiang Ning quickly dispatched a large army to rescue, otherwise Lishui would fall into the hands of thieves.
Yue Le and Lang Tingzuo were stunned and confused. They didn't understand how Zhang Huangyan suddenly ran hundreds of miles away from Wuhu, and went to Lishui under Jiang Ning's eyes.
"Could it be that Zhang Huangyan wanted to beat Jiang Ning?" His forehead was black with surprise.
Yue Le and Lang Tingzuo said firmly at the same time: "It's impossible!"
"Then why did he run Lishui?" The black forehead was even more strange.
A few months ago, Zhu Guozhi, who had just been transferred from Dali Siqing to be the governor of Jiangning Zuo, slapped his head and said, "Could it be that the thief Zhang was driven to Lishui by Jin Li'ezhen army?"
"This?..."
Lang Tingzuo narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling that there was a possibility. Yue Le didn't think so, because the time didn't match, did Zhang Huangyan have the ability to predict the prophet, knowing in advance that Jin Li led the army to beat him, so he abandoned the city and fled? Besides, even if he flees ahead of time, he should flee to the north of Jiangbei or the west of Zhejiang. Did he not know that Jiang Ning was guarded by heavy troops, or did he think he had lived too long?
When he was confused ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Yue Le's Goshha came in with an emergency military newspaper. The military report was sent by Jin Li, saying that when he led his army to Wuhu, he found that Wuhu City was already an empty city, and the Zhejiang bandits in the city had fled to the west of Zhejiang under the leadership of Zhang Huangyan. There is a containment in front, and a pursuit in the back, Zhang Thief will not be able to escape the law.
"According to this, this thief may have found that he couldn't get through when he fled to the west of Zhejiang, and there were Jinli chasing soldiers behind him, so he panicked and ran to Lishui." Lang Tingzuo was a little surprised. , to get the feeling of no effort at all.
"Since Zhang Thief seeks his own death, please send your elite soldiers to hunt him down!"
Zhu Guozhi was also very excited, Zheng Thief, Zhou Thief, Li Thief, and Zhang Thief were not only the enemies of the Qing Dynasty, but also Zhu Guozhi's inexorable enemies! For these thieves who are enemies of the Qing Dynasty, he can't wait to eat their flesh and sleep their skin!
Lang Tingzuo turned to look at Yue Le. He wanted to say that since Zhang Huangyan ran into him, he would ask the lord to send troops to hunt him down, but Yue Le slapped the table and said loudly, "This king personally leads the army to see him Zhang Thief. How can three heads and six arms fly out of the palm of my army again!"
