Outside Luoyang City, the happy shouts of Chen Jiajun's horses and whips were mixed with the cries of countless people in the suburbs, which made Chongyi at the head of the city dizzy and blackened for a while. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Thieves and bandits, bad for my people, bad for thieves and bandits, bad for my people, how innocent the people of Luoyang are......"

I don't know if this Daotai lord really pities the squires of the people outside the city who were wantonly 'ravaged' by the Chen family, or is acting and fake, anyway, Chongyi is so dizzy and crying, but his reputation has gathered prestige in the panicked Luoyang City.

Chen Ming led a large army to escort the prisoners of war all the way to Ruzhou Prefecture, the Qing troops on the east and south roads were getting closer and closer day by day, Chen Ming did not have time to really raise troops to fight Luoyang, although he felt that if he wanted to really fight Luoyang, he would not be able to waste much. But you have to go back and forth for four or five days, right? From Linru Town to Luoyang City, it is hundreds of miles, and it takes two days for the large army to walk, and it has to cross the Yi River and the Luo River in the middle. Chen Ming didn't dare to waste four or five days of precious time for a Luoyang City at this time. [There is also a Yichuan County between Luoyang and Yiyang and Ruyang today, which was not available in the Qing Dynasty]

When Chen Ming led a large army to escort more than 4,000 prisoners of war, as well as a large number of seizures and materials into the city of Ruzhou, no one suspected that Chen Jiajun 'falsely reported the military situation'. The officers and soldiers were really defeated, completely defeated!

The logistics troops who arrived in a hurry from Jiaxian by boat had already arrived in Ruzhou, and Gao Jinghui, who was originally guarding Ruzhou, had already taken the battalion head to Baofeng. After Chen Ming handed over the prisoners of war and captured them with Chen Min, the fourth uncle who led the logistics troops, he immediately led the troops to advance towards Xiangcheng in the starry night.

The Henan and Anhui Green Battalions seem to have been stimulated by the 'unruly' of the Shaanxi soldiers, and the Henan Green Battalion, with Hebei Town and Fubiao as the main force, has entered the northern part of Xuzhou, while the Anhui men and horses have also entered Chenzhou. That is, the Qing soldiers in the south, I don't know if Yongrui hasn't received the news yet or the battle report from Nanyang hasn't reached Chen Ming, anyway, the south road is quite peaceful. As long as Chen Ming moves faster, it seems that he can solve the Henan soldiers in Xuzhou and then go to fight the Anhui soldiers in Chenzhou, and how to solve the problem of the South Road in the end depends on the specific situation.

Chen Ming's boat was a private boat seized from the capital city of Ruzhou, and it was very luxuriously decorated, and the most important thing was that it was convenient for people to sleep and sleep. After being dedicated to Chen Ming, it became Chen Ming's boat.

On the way from the east of Ruzhou Prefecture, Chen Ming was more often in the cabin, holding a cigarette in his hand, looking at the map of Henan on the table, but he was always clueless.

The map was placed on a thin iron plate, and Chen Ming used magnets of different sizes and various small flags glued to the magnets to represent the enemies and friends.

Chen Ming had to lament his military level again, and after looking at the map for such a long time, he couldn't see any advantages or disadvantages. According to his ideas, first the Henan soldiers, and then the Anhui soldiers, the Qing court seemed to make a sensational plan to encircle and suppress the four provinces, in the current era of inconvenient communication, Jingzhou General Yongrui was simply unable to control the specific situation and specific behavior of the Qing troops on the northern and eastern fronts in time, and the Chen Jiajun did not have the possibility of breaking through.

But the same flaw Chen Jiajun also exists, Chen Ming doesn't know anything about the situation in Nanyang Mansion now, and the situation in Yuncheng is only from the report two days ago, and then the news is broken. Among several strategic priorities, the only one who can communicate with Chen Ming in a timely manner is his current target, Xiangxian. But where exactly Henan Green Camp entered Xuzhou, Chen Ming didn't know either.

The map in front of him, which looked like that, didn't help him in the slightest. Just like the series of battles of the Chen Jiajun commanded by Chen Ming, many times he relied on armor or guns to bully people [such as flying thunder cannons], and relied on hard power to defeat the opponent, rather than his 'superb' military talent.

Chen Ming's military level has always stayed in the realm of headache and foot pain. I stayed in the cabin for the past two days, smoked almost a pack of cigarettes, and it was useless. It is said that Chen Ming did not smoke at first, and cigarettes, like matches, glass, and steel drill bits, were handed over to his subordinates as soon as his brain was opened.

As a result, the steel drill bit is not suitable so far, and the glass cannot reach the level of complete colorlessness. Cigarettes also appeared, and there were the most primitive cigarette machines, but the efficiency was too poor. A complete set of machinery can be produced in a quarter of an hour, only 100 packs of 20 pieces. And the tobacco filling is uneven, and the standard deviation of the weight of the cigarette can exceed 10 percentage points. But after this quality of cigarettes was distributed to the military and officials as a welfare, it also slowly spread in the Chen Jiajun system, especially those high-end cigarettes with spices and floral essential oils, and the response was generally favorable. The clove and mint flavors have the best reaction.

……

Under the city of Luoyang.

The cavalry battalion led by Chen Kaishan had already retreated past the town of Pengpo [the Longmen Grottoes were one or twenty miles north of this place] -- and now there was a major relocation and demolition, and they were chasing after the large army of the Chen family. But this does not mean that the ground in Henan Province is stable and stable. I don't know how many ruffians and stragglers took this opportunity to rob homes and houses, burn and loot.

Chen Jiajun can maintain the stability of his own territory very well, as long as the people and even the squires keep to themselves, the newcomer Chen Jiajun did not show as fierce as the local people imagined. Chen Jiajun erected a recruitment notice outside Peng Po Town, he was really well fed and drunk, and his salary was settled every day, and there was no deduction.

However, Peng Po Town is north, from Song County to Yiyang to Luoyang to Yanshi, and half of Henan Prefecture is also more stable.

In just a few days, dozens of bandits jumped out of the robbers, many of whom were defeated soldiers, and no matter how many or small there were, they all took the opportunity to make a windfall.

"It can't go on like this. Of course, these things are not done by us, but when the situation calms down, as long as the government gives us a little guidance, this basin of sewage can be poured on our heads. When the recruits received by the recruitment office in Peng Po Town were pulled out of three guys with a large bag of gold and silver jewelry, looking at the real money and silver that were still stained with blood in those cracks, and when they got closer, they could smell a bloody breath, and at the same time, Chen Jianbai, who received Yang Ping's instructions, only gave one word: kill!

But killing these three alone is useless, as long as the Manchu government stabilizes the situation in Henan Mansion, they can say that the suffering of the people is completely because of Chen Jiajun's fight into Henan Mansion, and all the fault is because of Chen Jiajun. Chen Jiajun will really be indistinguishable at that time. Even the Qing court can say that those who robbed homes and houses have all voted for Chen Jiajun, what can Chen Jiajun use to prove his innocence? Can what they say be more believed by the people than the words spoken by the Qing court, the gentry, and the landlords?

"The flying pigeon passed the book, and quickly reported it to the Metropolitan Governor, asking the cavalry battalion to leave a team." In order to reverse the public order situation in Henan Province as soon as possible, it is difficult to rely only on infantry teams, and it is necessary to have horse teams. "The soldiers and horses of Pengpo Town and Linru Town took turns to go out to exterminate the bandits, and the scouts and scouts were sent out to investigate the whereabouts of the bandits......"
