Chapter 1402: Yuan Jixian
"The scenery of Poyang Lake is beautiful, the landscape is wonderful, countless literati and ink writers have lingered here since ancient times, there is a famous mountain in Xingzi County in the west of the lake, there is a waterfall in the mountain, Li Taibai has given a poem to make it famous all over the world, and the highway passes through here, don't you go to see it?" Li Muxian looked impatient, Chang Yu nodded: "This is the first freshwater lake in the Ming Dynasty, I want to feast my eyes, but at this time, official affairs are important, how about we swim again after we are done" Everyone nodded in response, Li Yan said curiously: "The last general once heard that there is a sea in the place where the old man of Xining Wei returned to live in the far west, which is the largest lake in the Ming Dynasty, is it possible that the rumors are wrong, but it is not as big as this Poyang Lake?" ”
"It's said that it's the sea, of course, it's bigger than the lake" Gao Jie shouted, Chang Yu rolled his eyes: "Don't talk if you don't have culture, Haizi is the name of the lake by the Hui people of Yunnan or Tibetans, hence the name, Haizi Haizihai's child, of course it's the lake" Gao Jie scratched his head in embarrassment, Huang Degong gloated: "If you don't have knowledge, don't talk nonsense and make you laugh" Gao Jie was furious: "You have knowledge, if you don't know a big word, you can't even write the sea."
Huang Degong shrugged: "Lao Tzu doesn't know and can't write, but Lao Tzu doesn't understand and doesn't pretend to understand."
The two began to tear again, Chang Yu didn't bother to care, and said to Li Yan: "That sea is called Qinghai Lake, it is indeed the largest lake in our Ming Dynasty, at least thousands of square meters more than this Poyang Lake, but Qinghai Lake is a saltwater lake, which is as salty as seawater, but this Poyang Lake is fresh water that can be drunk, but in fact, the largest lake in Wuhua should be Berga Lake, he is more than 30 times the area of all the lakes in Daming combined, but it's a pity that ......" Chang Yu sighed.
Li Yan and Li Muxian raised their eyebrows and shook their heads, they hadn't heard of Lake Belga, and Chang Yu exhaled: "Beihai, the place where Su Wu shepherds sheep."
The two of them were surprised by the little eunuch's knowledge, so they opened the chatterbox, and everyone hurried away all night without sleep, and entered Hukou County to prepare to sleep before leaving.
As the name suggests, Hukou County is at the mouth of Poyang Lake, and it is a small town similar to Dongliu County, and the county is governed in Xiaoyang (southwest of today's Shuangzhen Town, which is completely different from the current city center)
There were more than 100 officers and soldiers in the city, and Chen Suole didn't ask them about the troops they belonged to, and directly asked them to lead the way to the yamen to rest, and the guards didn't know where they came from, but looking at the momentum of these people, they knew that the big man was coming, and they hurriedly led them to the yamen.
The yamen was cleaned very cleanly, although I don't know if it was originally like this or just cleaned recently, anyway, it was very clean and clean, Chang Yu and his party hastily ate breakfast and fell asleep with their heads covered.
This sleep came to the afternoon, everyone got up one after another, saw the scorching sun hanging on their heads and couldn't help sighing, after washing and eating, they went out of the city and went straight to the Jiujiang ferry, which went to the waterway to add up to seventy or eighty miles, and estimated that they could reach Jiujiang City in the middle of the night.
In the third year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1370), Changzhou and Ningzhou were reduced to counties; In the ninth year (1376), Jiangxi Province was changed to Jiangxi Chengxuan Political Envoy Division, and the province was divided into 5 provinces and 13 prefectures, of which Jiujiang Province governed Jiujiang, Nankang and Raozhou 3 prefectures; Jiujiang Prefecture has jurisdiction over 5 counties of Dehua, De'an, Ruichang, Hukou and Pengze; Nankang Prefecture governs 3 counties of Xingzi, Duchang and Jianchang; Ning County, Wuning belongs to Nanchang Prefecture, Hongzhi 16 years (1503), re-ascending Ning County to Ningzhou. In the thirteenth year of Zhengde (1518), it was divided into Changzhi Anyi County, which was subordinate to Nankang Mansion.
Two years ago, Zuo Liangyu was stationed here, and then he heard that Zhang Xianzhong broke Wuchang, so he ran east to Wuhu, and then Yuan Jixian ran to persuade him to fight Wuchang, and then he was stationed in Wuchang to support the troops and wait and see, Jiujiang became the east bridgehead of his sphere of influence, and handed over to his henchmen Jin Shenghuan to station, but he was a little Jiujiu, and the court naturally saw through it, although he was helpless against him, he also had to stumble to prevent him, so not only Yuan Jixian stayed in office, but also transferred Lu Daqi to deal with military affairs.
Although these two people have no military power and no outstanding talents, they are both old foxes, and Zuo Liangyu can't do it hard, but he still has the ability to play some tricks, otherwise how can he kick Jin Shenghuan to Xuzhou so far away to suppress bandits, but they are also crooked and picked up by Chang Yu in Xuzhou, who is using it with his side, the important thing is to assimilate Comrade Xiaojin, he is now full of following the little eunuch to do big things, at this time Zuo Liangyu is in his eyes...... Sorry, who is he.
As the capital city of Jiujiang Prefecture, the bridgehead of Zuo Liangyu's forces and Bai Wang, who has to keep an eye on the mountain, Jiujiang has thousands of garrisons at most more than 5,000, Lu Daqi has 3,000 soldiers in the city, and sent Jin Shengheng to Xuzhou with more than 1,000 only 2,000 left, and then Bai Wang went out of Shandong to attack, and the soldiers were divided into two roads, the main force crossed the opposite bank of Poyang Lake and went straight to the mouth of the lake, and the other way went to the west bank to go down to Xingzi County to attract Jiujiang officers and soldiers.
Lu Daqi was really fooled, Wen Xingzi County was besieged, hurriedly led his troops to help, just arrived at Wenhukou was broken by the thief army and hurriedly turned around to help, the thief army has been waiting in Jiangkou for a long time, plus the thief army of Xingzi County from behind, defeated and retreated to Jiujiang.
Seeing that Bai Wang's purpose was to go along the east of the river, Lu Daqi knew his purpose and organized several pursuits, but all of them were defeated by Bai Wang, so he had to order the army to return to Jiujiang, and he made a detour to Nanjing to move the rescue troops, and now the hero has returned......
The scheming Lu Daqi and the good fighter Jin Shenghuan are gone, and only Yuan Jixian is left in Jiujiang.
Old man Yuan is in his fifties this year, both the civil official of the Eight Classics (out of a lot of books) also knows a little about the military, he has guarded Wuchang when he was appointed by Huguang Senate in Chongzhen for ten years, pacified the Yangtze River water thieves in Xingguo, captured more than 1,000 people, and later offended the eunuch Yang Xianming, the official was demoted to two levels, at that time Yang Sichang stayed by his side because he knew the military as an exhibition praise, so Yang Sichang is one of his backstage, now Yang Sichang is dead, but he has another backstage, the governor of Shanxi Wu Xuan is now the second assistant of the cabinet, the second in command in the court!
Of course, Yuan Jixian is not the kind of person who has a backer, he will take root wherever you throw him, and now he is sitting in Jiujiang can be described as cautious as walking on thin ice, not because of the thief army, Bai Wang's purpose is very clear, go straight to the east to open up the territory and expand the territory, Zuo Liangyu in the west does not clean up and burns high incense, he has no reason to provoke Zuo Liangyu and go to fight Jiujiang, he naturally knows that Zuo Liangyu is now waiting and watching, you don't mess with me, I won't clean you up.
Bai Wang is very knowledgeable and does not come to provoke, Yuan Jixian is guarding against Zuo Liangyu, will he take advantage of Bai Wang's affairs to suddenly pull the flag and set up his own door, if this is the case, he will immediately send generals and troops to Jiujiang, after all, it is a bridgehead, and he must hold it firmly in his hands.
Fortunately, Zuo Liangyu has been watching, he wants to wait for Li Zicheng to fight in Beijing, or Bai Wang to fight in Nanjing before pulling the banner, so the soldiers are not in a hurry to send more troops to Jiujiang, after all, if Bai Wang's side does not succeed, he will make Bai Wang misunderstand if he sends additional troops to Jiujiang.
No one expected that the situation was unpredictable and dizzying, every day all kinds of bad news came, how powerful the thieves and thieves were to hit Baoding, the Tartars outside the customs entered the customs again, Bai Wang broke Anqing and then broke Chizhou, once hit the Taiping Mansion...... Yuan Jixian's brows tightened every day, and he was so depressed that he couldn't breathe, Daming, is it really over......
Who knew that the sky suddenly began to clear, and the good news came one after another, and the prestige of the little eunuch also made him thunderous............ Phew, Wei Zhongxian doesn't know how to fight, and his hobby in his life is to make money except for playing prestige and rectifying officials.
The Tartars were beaten out, Li Zicheng was beaten back to Xi'an, the officers and soldiers traveled thousands of miles south, all the way to Anqing on the north bank of the river, all the way from Nanjing to borrow troops along the west of the river, Tutu, Tututu, hit Chizhou, Tutu, Tututu, ah, Peng Ze also recovered, Tutu...... Ah, the legendary little eunuch sent people into the city to meet him.
That is, the tenacity of going to Wuchang to deliver a letter passing through this place.
A few words came from the situation, asking Yuan Jixian to monitor those closely related to Zuo Liangyu in Jiujiang City, put them under house arrest if necessary, and upgrade the city defense to a state of combat readiness.
This Yuan Jixian was shocked, and his first reaction was that Zuo Liangyu was reversed, but he said that he was ordered to go to Wuchang to deliver a letter, and Lao Yuan reacted that this was a little eunuch who planned in advance, and he had been guarding against Zuo Liangyu, and immediately announced martial law after learning of Chang Yu's intentions, closed four doors and was not allowed to enter and exit at will, and there was a curfew after dark, and some officials and generals who he thought were placed in Jiujiang by Zuo Liangyu were all placed under house arrest.
In the past few days, Yuan Jixian has been extremely careful and nervous, and he only slept for two or three hours at night, for fear that something would happen in the city, and he wanted to know that the little eunuch sent someone to Wuchang, what would Zuo Liangyu's reaction over there be, he was waiting for news.
Unexpectedly, the news from Wuchang had not yet arrived, but the little eunuch suddenly came.
Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
