Su Chengyu unfolded the war report that had just been delivered.

The first line is: In the first month, Zheng Cai abandoned Guangxin Mansion and Shanguan without tasting a battle, and withdrew to Fujing Jianning Mansion. Zhang Jiayu, the superintendent of the army, said that he was severely reprimanded and was not afraid. Only Guangxin prefect Xie Lijing, and Zhou Yinsheng of the history of the city were firmly defended.

This Zheng Cai is the son of Zheng Zhilong's second brother Zheng Hongkui. The court officials have always reprimanded Zheng Zhilong for being afraid of war, so he sent his nephew with two thousand old and weak soldiers to the Guangxin Mansion in Jiangxi, which is close to Fujing.

Now that the Qing army has just arrived in Guangxin, he has fled. Even if Longwu issued an edict and severely reprimanded, this guy didn't care and ran all the way back to Fujing.

Di Bao followed by: Fujian Tukou Yan, Luo, and Zhu three surnames plundered Fuzhou, don't rob Nankang, and use Jin Shenghuan to abduct and slaughter, Jiangxi is in chaos.

The more Su Chengyu looked down, the more his brows tightened together-the battle situation in Jiangxi was worrying.

Due to Zheng Cai's escape, the Qing army took advantage of the victory to move south, and the entire Jianchang Mansion had fallen except for the southernmost point.

Jin Shenghuan, the commander-in-chief of the Qing army in Jiangxi, sent Gao Jinku to command 15,000 troops to attack Fuzhou. Jin Shenghuan personally led the main force to attack Ji'an Mansion, and Ji'an was already in danger.

There are three state capitals north of Ganzhou, from west to east: Ji'an, Fuzhou, and Jianchang.

Now that Jianchang has been lost, Ji'an is in danger, and Fuzhou is also facing heavy military pressure. If these three states were captured by the Qing army, then Ganzhou would lose all the barriers and face the enemy on three sides, and it would be a matter of time before they fell.

Ganzhou is connected to Fujian in the east and Huguang in the west, and is the barrier of Guangdong, so its strategic location is extremely important. If Ganzhou is lost, the Qing army's southward march to Guangdong will be a flat river, and Fujian, the capital of the Longwu Dynasty, will face the Qing army's attack from the north and south.

Su Chengyu put down the newspaper and was extremely surprised in his heart - according to his memory, at the beginning of the second year of Longwu, Jiangxi should be in a stalemate situation, and Jin Shenghuan only had a few state capitals in northern Jiangxi in his hands.

But at present, the main force of the Qing army's Manchu Eight Banners has not yet been dispatched, and the battle situation has collapsed to such an extent. According to this situation, Ganzhou Mansion, which could have been held until October in history, may not be long before it will be captured by the Qing army.

Is it because of the butterfly effect brought about by your own crossing? Su Chengyu pondered for a moment and ordered all the senior officers of the Dragon Guard Army to gather immediately and hold an all-army combat meeting.

He had a hunch that the flood of war would soon rush to Longnan, and he might not have much time left for his training.

After all the officers were seated, Su Chengyu first gave a brief introduction to the current situation, and everyone was deeply worried.

Subsequently, he issued an order, and the entire army of the Dragon Guard Army immediately sorted out the equipment and baggage, maintained the highest state of combat readiness, and was ready to withdraw the camp and go to the front line at any time.

The Logistics Department sent someone to inform the two merchants who had contracted the logistics supply of the Long Wei Army to prepare the first half of the month's grain and grass supplies, and they would set off with the Long Wei Army in the near future. Follow-up grain and grass should also be prepared.

In addition, the first batch of cadets of the Ming Royal Military Academy graduated on the same day, and various departments of the Dragon Guard Army were assigned to serve as low-level officers.

Facts have proved that Su Chengyu's premonition is very correct, and before the battle meeting ended, there was an urgent report of military information - Jin Shenghuan's troops attacked Ji'an, and the guard general Hu Changyin went out to fight without authorization against the order, until the general soldiers Qiu Long and Zhang Kui were killed. Zhang Anbu was unable to rescue, and the Ji'an army was defeated. Yang Butang retreated to the soap mouth.

That night, the eunuch Yang Shouming sent the Longwu holy decree.

This time it was no longer a secret decree, Su Chengyu knelt down to receive the will, and Yang Gonggong read it out loud: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says, the emperor's nephew, Wang Linmiao of Chenzhou, led the new army of Longwei to rush to Fuzhou immediately to help the imperial capture of 10,000 yuan." It is advisable to move north as soon as possible to consolidate the situation ......"

In fact, at this time, all the soldiers who could be mobilized in Ganzhou had gone to Ganzhou or Fuzhou. Including the 3,000 soldiers of Zhao Yinxuan, the general of Yunnan, and the 3,000 soldiers of Ding Kuichu, the governor of Liangguang, have all entered Jiangxi, and even He Tengjiao has sent 2,000 people, but they have just walked out of Huguang slowly.

However, Su Chengyu's side was training troops in accordance with secret orders, and the Ministry of War did not know about the existence of a new army of Longwei two days ago.

It wasn't until Zhu Yujian learned that the situation in Ganzhou was extremely dangerous, and he drew all the forces that could be transferred to Ganzhou, and suddenly remembered that there was a nephew who had obtained the true inheritance of the immortal Weng, who had a battalion of soldiers in Longnan.

In fact, he didn't expect this new army to have much combat power, and in line with the idea of multiple people and more strength, he ordered Zhu Linwei to reinforce Fuzhou.

Early the next morning, the order of the military department was also sent to the Longwei military camp. At this point, the new army of Long Wei was finally registered in the imperial court.

The mobilization and assembly of the Dragon Guard Army was extremely fast. Less than a day after Su Chengyu received the holy order, the whole army was ready to set off from the camp.

On the one hand, thanks to the new logistics system, when the officers and soldiers of the first battalion of the Longwei Army were mobilized, Zhao Ji and the Zhen family had a total of thousands of men, porters, and stewards preparing logistics materials for them.

These merchants often transport goods to the north and south, and are familiar with the shipment of large quantities of goods. For them, preparing grain and grass for the Dragon Guard Army is no different from selling goods in the past, they have done it thousands of times, so the efficiency is amazing.

On the other hand, the training level of the Dragon Guard is also quite high, and every soldier puts their marching equipment neatly on weekdays, and the assembly horn sounded here, and in less than half an hour there, all the soldiers were all lined up in the school field.

If it weren't for the loading of military supplies such as tents and paving equipment, the infantry and cavalry would have been able to go to the front to fight.

At noon, the entire army of the Dragon Guard assembled in the school field and waited for the commander of the regiment to give the last instruction before departure.

Su Chengyu stood on the wooden platform, looking at the black crowd in front of him, and suddenly a heroic spirit arose in his heart, this is my strength, and it will also be the power of Daming to be proud of the world!

On the far left is the cavalry array. Heavy cavalry in shiny armor in the front row, hussars armed with pistols and cavalry swords in the back row.

The Dragon Guard has 1 integrated cavalry battalion, that is, 1st cavalry battalion, under the jurisdiction of 2 heavy cavalry battalions and 5 hussar battalions. The Zhu family is the head of the battalion.

In addition, there were 2 separate heavy cavalry companies, the 11th and 12th cavalry companies. Zhao Zhixi concurrently served as the company commander of the two companies.

The cavalry had a total of 657 officers and soldiers and 700 military horses.

In the middle of the school field was the largest array of infantry. The standard infantry of the Dragon Guard Army is equipped with a flintlock gun with a bayonet, a standard steel helmet, and a two-foot steel shovel. Assault infantry were issued with an extra set of knee-high cotton armor.

There are four integrated infantry battalions, ranging from the first infantry battalion to the fourth infantry battalion, each of which has three assault infantry companies and four ordinary infantry companies. The battalion commanders are Yu Xin, Huang Qishou, Li Ying and Liu Chang.

plus two independent infantry companies, the first independent company and the second independent company, with Liu Guoxuan concurrently serving as the company commander.

In addition, the infantry also had a dragoon company under its command, and the company commander was Xia Fuxian.

Dragoons are actually infantry on horseback, generally using dismounted rifle shooting, but they are also issued with cavalry swords, and if necessary, they can also make temporary cameo appearances as hussars.

Regarding the ownership of the dragoons, Su Chengyu repeatedly studied it with the officers at the all-army combat meeting, and finally considered that it could increase the tactical flexibility of the infantry, so it was assigned to the infantry.

The infantry of these 4 battalions and 3 companies is the core strength of the Dragon Guard, with a total of more than 2,500 officers and soldiers.
