Jiujiang is located at the mouth of Poyang Lake, the geographical location is very important, and now it is garrisoned by 10,000 soldiers and horses led by the Qing general Wang Deren.

Wang Deren turned out to be a subordinate of Wang Tizhong of the Dashun Army, and Wang Tizhong was a subordinate of Bai Wang, a general under Li Zicheng.

After Li Zicheng was killed in Jiashennian, there was a great chaos within the Dashun army, and Wang Tizhong took the opportunity to kill Bai Wang, led his subordinates to surrender to Azig, and was awarded the rank of deputy commander-in-chief.

After that, Jin Shengheng, who originally belonged to Zuo Liangyu, was afraid of losing his military power after he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, so he invited himself to attack Jiangxi, and Azig appointed him as the governor of Jiangxi and captured all Jiangxi with Wang Tizhong.

Jin Shengheng relied on the strength of the king's body, and falsely claimed that "200,000 Manchu and Han officers and soldiers will collect Jiangxi" so that the Nanchang officials fled without a fight, and Jin Shengheng easily took Nanchang, but he was deeply wary of the strong troops in the king's body, and always wanted to find an opportunity to annex the king's soldiers and horses.

In June, the Qing court's shaving order was introduced to Jiangxi, Jin Shengheng led his troops to shave his head, and Wang Tizhong returned to Nanchang from Fuzhou, but resolutely refused to shave his head.

Jin Shengheng thought that this was a rare opportunity, so he privately encircled Wang Ti to win the bid to attack Wang Deren, pretending to assassinate Wang Tizhong, and the Wang officers who learned the news immediately made a big uproar and led troops to take revenge, but Jin Shengheng personally supervised the battle, and Wang Tizhong died, and Wang's subordinates were surrendered and annexed by Jin Shengheng one by one.

Since then, Jin Shengheng cooperated with Wang Deren, successively captured the important towns of Ji'an, Taihe, Yongxin and other places, and controlled most of Jiangxi.

The official positions of Jin Shengheng and Wang Deren still did not change, and at this time, Luck Dehun entered Jiangxi from Hubei, and was supported by Zhang Yutian, the governor of Jiangxi, and Dong Xuecheng, who seized the power of Nanchang, while Wang Deren, who stayed in Nanchang, was sent to Jiujiang to guard against Hu Guangming's army.

Jiujiang is surrounded by water on three sides, choking the main road, and it is difficult for the land division to attack, but if the water division is strong and has a large ship, it can directly set up a siege ladder from the ship and fight in the city.

At this time, on the river near Jiujiang City, hundreds of huge ships were shuttling on the river and Taihu Lake, and on the land east of the city, more than 20,000 people from Li Guo's department set up a large camp under the city, and the scene was very spectacular.

Unlike Jin Shengheng, who fought in southern Jiangnan, after Wang Deren was stationed in Jiujiang, he heard some news from Wuchang, and every piece of news made him tremble.

The vanguard of the Ming army, which appeared outside the city of Jiujiang now, undoubtedly confirmed the message he heard, and he stood at the head of the city, watching himself be able to defeat the Ming army that was full of eight banners, and his heart was cowardly.

Now the main force of the Qing army in Jiangxi is fighting fiercely with Wanji in southern Jiangxi, and the Qing soldiers in northern Jiangxi are less than 20,000, and he really has no confidence to defend northern Jiangxi.

Originally, the defense of northern Jiangxi was not so weak, but in order to attack Yuezhou, Luck Dehun seconded more than 30,000 people from northern Jiangxi and a large number of ships, and all of them were buried in Huguang, and so far northern Jiangxi has not been replenished by troops, so there is such an unfavorable situation now.

At this time, Wang Deren stood on the city wall, sighing for a long time, but Chen Fang, his staff member, walked up to the city, hurriedly walked to his side, and reported in a low voice: "General, the envoy of the Ming army entered the city, and he took charge of his duties without authorization, and secretly brought the envoy to the general's mansion. ”

When Wang Deren heard this, he couldn't help but turn his head suddenly, glanced at Chen Fang, and then walked quickly down the city and went to the mansion.

In the face of the siege of the Ming army, perhaps many of his subordinates have Chen Fang's thoughts, and he has not thought about opening the city and surrendering, but he has scruples in his heart.

In fact, he was also very dissatisfied with the Qing court, he and Jin Shengheng made great contributions to the Qing court in Jiangxi, but the Qing court only gave him a deputy general, and the things and status promised before were not realized at all, and he was already disappointed in his heart, complaining that the Qing Dynasty was mean and unkind.

In particular, Wang Deren and Jin Shengheng extorted a lot of money by force in Jiangxi and became nouveau riche, but Zhang Yutian, the governor appointed by the Qing court, and Dong Xuecheng, looked red and forced them to offer money, which also made him very unhappy.

Jin Shengheng wanted to use his military merits to be the governor of Jiangxi, so as to suppress Zhang Yutian and Dong Xuecheng, but his request was rejected by the Qing court, and this time Zhang Yutian and Dong Xuecheng supported Le Kedehun to obtain the full strength of Jiangxi and sent him to Jiujiang, which made him even more disappointed in the Qing court.

To say that Wang Deren has a reason for Kaesong to surrender, he can be coaxed by Jin Shengheng to kill Wang Xiuzhong, who is unwilling to shave his hair, then he can also surrender Kaesong for his own life.

He did have the intention of surrendering in his heart, but he had two worries, one was afraid of losing his military power, and the other was afraid that the Ming army would also peep into the property in his hands.

At this time, he returned to the Taoist mansion, asked the guards to hold the courtyard door, and only took his staff Chen Fang to the study, and saw a majestic old man, sitting in the study.

The old man was Jiang Yueguang, and when he saw the two of them coming, he immediately got up and gave up his hand, and said straight to the point: "General Wang, the old man came here today because he was entrusted by Xingguo Hou, and he came to persuade the general to abandon the darkness and join the light and serve the Ming Dynasty." ”

On the way back, Chen Fang informed Wang Deren and Jiang Yueguang's identity through the scriptures, so he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly returned the salute, and then said: "There is Lao Lao's cabinet to go on a trip, I don't know what Xingguo Hou has to say, what do you want to tell the general?" ”

If it was before, Wang Deren would not have considered surrender, after all, the power of the Qing army was there, but Wang Yan defeated the Qing army in Huguang one after another, so that Wang Deren saw the fierce and restrained side of the Eight Banners, plus his dissatisfaction with the Qing court, so surrender is not impossible to talk about for him, the key depends on whether the price can satisfy him.

Jiang Yueguang smiled and took out a letter, handed it to Wang Deren and said: "The general and Xingguo Hou are both from the Shun army, and now Xingguo Hou, Liu Fangliang, Gao Yigong, and Yuan Zongdi have returned to the Ming Dynasty and have all been named marquises, even in the Shun army, Yang Yanchang, Li Laihum and others, who are not much different from the status of the generals, have also been named earls, and the generals have served the Qing court, and they have repeatedly made war exploits but have not been rewarded accordingly, which is really infuriating." Jinxing Guohou Zhi General guards Jiujiang, looking at the relationship between the same generals in the past, he can't bear to see each other, so he sent the old man to come and surrender! ”

Wang Deren listened to Jiang Yueguang's words, and was already a little moved, and then he opened the letter to look at it, but frowned, and said a little unhappily: "Even if it is a surrender, it should be promised benefits, why not only did not he add officials to the knighthood, but he wanted to adapt our department~"

Wang Deren was disappointed, and his attitude became cold, Jiang Yueguang immediately said: "The general has not helped the Ming Dynasty to establish meritorious service, and it is already a great favor to be able to appoint at the same level, and the army is reorganized, this is the rule set by the Duke of Chu before, and all the departments of the Shun army have been reorganized, and now Xingguo Hou is still reused by the Duke of Chu?" It would be very unwise for General Wang to hold on to his men and horses and lose this opportunity. ”

Wang Deren was silent, he didn't know the situation in Wang Yan's army, so he didn't dare to decide easily, he spoke after half a sound: "Such conditions are too harsh, even the Qing court has not organized the soldiers and horses under the command of this general. The stakes are high, can I think about it for three days before replying? ”

Wang Deren was obviously dissatisfied with the conditions and wanted to delay the time and let Li Guo raise the price.

Jiang Yueguang shook his head with a smile and said: "General Wang doesn't know, the order that Xingguo Hou got was to break the city in three days and open the passage into Jiangxi for the Duke of Chu, so we can only give you three hours, as soon as the time passes, immediately attack the city, and after the city is broken, all the Qing court officials will be killed, and the three clans will be connected!" ”

When Wang Deren heard this, his face couldn't help but be angry: "Li Guo looks down on me? ”

At this time, the door of the study was suddenly opened by a Qing army general, and when he saw Wang Deren, he hurriedly said: "Brother-in-law, it's not good, Abazhen heard that you secretly met the envoy and killed him with his Eight Banners!" ”
