Chongzhen Undergraduates

"Okay! The three lovers don't care about the war in Jiangxi. I have another important task for you."

When Zhu Youjian said this, he looked at the three people in front of him seriously.The three of them froze, and they were all guessing how Zhu Youjian planned to arrange it.

"Go to Hunan as soon as possible, recruit young and strong men. Organize and train soldiers. Don't let the intruders enter Hunan."

"Your Majesty, Li Zicheng's army is not far from Jiangfang. We may not have enough time to stop the enemy on the Yangtze River."

Zuo Liangyu had already left Wuchang and ran away. There was not a single soldier in Huguang to resist Li Zicheng. It was obviously embarrassing for three people to carry out such a task alone.

Yuan Jixian felt that he could not take on this kind of task, so he could only speak out frankly.His current official position is the governor of Huguang. It stands to reason that losing Hubei is a serious crime. Yuan Jixian thought that Zhu Youjian wanted him to recover Hubei.

Not to mention that there are Chuangjun and Houjin troops in Hubei now, even if there is only Chuangjun, the soldiers recruited from Hunan alone cannot defeat them, let alone facing the Houjin army.

"The task I gave you was to keep the enemy out of Hunan, and I didn't let you stick to the defense of the river."

After hearing Zhu Youjian's words, Yuan Jixian heaved a sigh of relief. The emperor did not blame him for throwing away Hubei's responsibility.

Zhu Youjian guessed that all the boats on the Yangtze River had been taken away by Zuo Liangyu. If Li Zicheng wanted to cross the river, he might have to build a bamboo raft by himself.And Wuchang on the south bank of the Yangtze River has become an empty city, and the Chuangjun can't find supplies at all in the south of the Yangtze River.

If Li Zicheng wants to get supplies, the best way is to continue south to Xianning.In history, Li Zicheng made a mistake. After he entered Wuchang, he planned to drive Zuo Menggeng away, so he followed the river directly to Jiujiang. Jiujiang was still an empty city. Li Zicheng had no navy, so he had to return to Xianning and died in Tongshan. .

This should be the truth of history.

"As long as you block them in Xianning for two months, then I will personally come to rescue you."

Regardless of whether Li Zicheng will change his thinking in history, Xianning must be a strategically important place. Whether Zhu Youjian wants to join forces with Li Zicheng, the two sides have to fight here.

When Zhu Youjian said this, the three of them barely accepted it.If they were assigned tasks according to Jiang Fang, it would be tantamount to asking them to go directly to their deaths.

"Your Majesty, this recruitment requires military pay..." Yuan Jixian rolled his eyes and took a careful look at Zhu Youjian.

"No, I don't have a big son now. I still have a few ounces of meat on my body, or I sell it to you, calculate how much it is."

It is really not expected that Zhu Youjian will take money at this time.It would be great if the Nanjing court's money could support the war in Jiangbei. If Zuo Liangyu hadn't known that Zuo Liangyu was going to rebel and withheld the more than 200 million taels of silver, Zhu Youjian might have to use the money he robbed.

However, Hunan at this time was not poor. For decades, wars were everywhere, and even Hubei suffered several military disasters. Only Hunan was peaceful.

From Changsha to Yueyang, the road is not a poor place, but also a famous main grain producing area. Zhu Youjian doesn't believe that he can't cheat in Hunan.

"I'll give you an idea. There are many squires in Hunan, and Chuangjun is famous for robbing the squires. You can use my handwriting to let the local squires contribute funds, recruit groups to train, and then gather groups to train together to defend against the enemy."

Zhu Youjian just took the opportunity to tell the original method of He Tengjiao and Du Yinxi. Thinking about Zeng Shaved's head training in Hunan 200 years later, it can be seen that there is a tradition of landlord training in Hunan.

Think about a later proverb: Without Hunan, there is no army.Thinking about the scene where the Hunan Army attacked the Taiping Army, Zhu Youjian can be sure that Hunan is a place with absolute combat effectiveness.

Yuan Jixian and the other three looked at each other, they actually already had an idea in their minds, and Zhu Youjian happened to hit their point.

"I'm waiting for orders!"

"Father, I'm going to Hunan too." Before the three ministers could leave, Jiu'er ran in.

"Nonsense, Hunan doesn't even have a decent army. It's too dangerous for you to go." Zhu Youjian was really angry. He played with Jiu'er's temper all the way along the way, and just accompanied her in a show. The good show of nuns fighting bandits can no longer be used to it.

"No! I'm just going to fight the front line of intruders." Jiu'er seemed to be very serious and insisted stubbornly.

"The intruder is very powerful, and he kills without blinking an eye." Zhu Youjian couldn't resist, so he could only coax him.

"What's so great, I haven't seen it before. Liu Zongmin is so fierce, and his daughter escaped like him." Jiu'er had tears in her eyes.

Zhu Youjian suddenly remembered something, and waved Yuan Jixian to retreat.There were only father and daughter left in the house.

"What happened in the capital is the fault of my father. My father shouldn't have hurt you recklessly..."

Although Zhu Youjian did not do this, since he is wearing this skin, he cannot get rid of this responsibility.

"My daughter doesn't blame her father, it's her father who gave her life. If you want to say blame, it's all Li Zicheng's fault. If they didn't attack the capital, how could my daughter's arm be broken?"

Jiu'er cried, crying very sadly.It is indeed a cruel tragedy for a young girl in her prime to suddenly lose an arm.

It turns out that the sunshine shown by Princess Changping is all superficial.In her heart, there was always a suppressed pain.

This is a psychological problem that needs treatment, but Zhu Youjian can't help it.

"Since you have made up your mind, I agree. Let Yang Jing go with you, so I can rest assured."

Zhu Youjian can only choose to agree, he can't refuse a person's revenge.Although the real "enemy" is actually himself.

"No! I only take my people there." Jiu'er shook her head stubbornly. In her eyes, Yang Jing was no match for Chen Yuanyuan.

"Go! Take good care of yourself, Father will pick you up in a while." Zhu Youjian turned his head, and couldn't help but get red eyes.

After lunch, led by Yuan Jixian, a team of more than 200 people left the small village along the mountain road.

Zhu Youjian was sent far away, and finally Jiu'er was still wearing a loose "cassock" standing on a high place and waving his little hand at Zhu Youjian.

Tears swirled.

Chapter 163: When a person is about to die, his words are also kind

After Zuo Menggeng ate a good meal and was satisfied, he finally stopped losing his temper.

He even rewarded Jin Shenghuan with a job that doesn't require him to be a striker.

The so-called forwards, especially in siege battles, are sent to death.The first five battalions of cronies on the left are all seed forces, and generally they would not arrange such errands for death. The last five battalions, like Jin Shenghuan's, have always been the first choice for death.

Jiujiang is right in front of you, and it is said that Yuan Jixian, the governor of Huguang, is stationed there.The morale of the first five battalions is very high, and there is a great momentum to fight down.

But the commanders of the last fifth battalion were all worried, for fear that Zuo Menggeng would send them to be forwards.

"Brother, when are you going to send troops?" Hou Fangyu was getting impatient, he had accompanied Zuo Menggeng to finish the meal, just to wait for Zuo Menggeng's mood to improve.

Zuo Liangyu was already terminally ill, and Zuo Menggeng had all the power in his hands.Zuo Menggeng wiped his mouth in satisfaction and said, "At noon tomorrow, send Xu Yong and 10 people to level Jiujiang in one fell swoop."

"Okay!" Hou Fangyu happily went out to deliver the order.

When Xu Yong received the order, his facial features were already twisted into a pile, and he was almost crying.Although he is also the chief soldier, as the last fifth battalion, he has less than 2000 real soldiers under his command.And these 2000 people are still the worst equipped in the left.

"Young master wants me to die in Jiujiang City!" Xu Yong looked up to the sky and sighed.

"No, Jiujiang City is not big, besides, didn't the young master give you [-] soldiers. You can flood Jiujiang City with your spit." Hou Fangyu comforted Xu Yong, and he was mobilized before the war.

By the way, where is Jiujiang City in this period?Jiujiang was called "Xunyang" in ancient times, but Jiujiang City in the Ming Dynasty was not located in the area of ​​Dutian Lane and Bajiaoshi at all.

At that time, there was a river called Longkai River, also known as Panshui, which originated in Ruichang. Until later generations, Ruichang City also had the Pancheng Sub-district Office.

"Book of Jin Geographical Chronicles": "Chai Sang, there is Pankou Pass." Jiujiang City was built on the basis of Pankou Pass, which is probably the old railway station, the No. [-] National Cotton Factory, and the Moon Bay area in later generations.

Jiujiang City was built along the river, and its area is small, but the city walls are high and the defenses are complete. If you want to attack Jiujiang forcefully, many people may die.
