If the war is raging today, Ganzhou is like a paradise, the people do not need to worry about being affected by the war, the streets are full of people, and all industries are prosperous.

Caravans from Fujian and Guangdong drove the southern ponies in groups and in an endless stream.

Most of the people who escaped the war and came to Ganzhou were from wealthy families, because most of the ordinary people who had no food and clothing were resettled in Jianghan and Huguang.

These wealthy families see that Ganzhou has become a transit place for commodities at home and abroad, and choose to buy land in Ganzhou, and the real estate in the city is no longer used, so many people go to the wharf outside the city to buy land, and the wharf has become a small town near the wharf.

In stark contrast to the bustling and prosperous street is the back office of Ganzhou Mansion, the garden is quiet, in the hot afternoon, the willows by the pond are still around, and the rockery pavilion is gently blown by the wind;

The lotus flowers in the pond are beginning to bloom, the red face is newly blooming, the dragonfly is a little on the water surface, and then flies to the small lotus to rest, a leisurely scene.

It was the little girl in the house, who was also sitting in the cool corridor, leaning against the pillar and dozing.

In the show room facing the pond from the back window, the incense is curling, Yang Zhi is wearing a thin short-sleeved silk shirt, revealing half of the jade arm like snow, and the whole person looks a little richer than before, and it looks more round and jade.

She held a puff fan in her hand, helping the child who was sleeping soundly on the couch to gently fan the cold, and the little guy was still sucking a finger when he slept, and his little face was pink, which was very cute.

"Miss, Miss, Tian Yimu said that my uncle won a big battle, Miss" Mo Mo held his double bun and trotted in with his skirt.

"Shh Yang Zhi hurriedly silenced her, "Yong'er just fell asleep, you be quiet." ”

Momo stuck out his little tongue, tiptoed to the side of the small couch, looked at the little guy on the couch, and saw that he was not woken up. I breathed a long sigh of relief.

Yang Zhi pulled her to the window and asked in a low voice, "Say it quickly, say it quickly." She urged, and from time to time turned her head to look at the little person on the couch, for fear that the little one would sleep restlessly and get off the bed.

"Miss, Tian Yimu said that my uncle wiped out tens of thousands of Tartars in Jingmen, and there are thousands more under Hanyang City. scared the tartar away, and ran so straight that his tail was straight"

"This is also what Tian Yimu said?"

"Hee-hee, people imagine that it must be like that, I heard that the tartars have a rat's tail on their heads."

"You, didn't Tian Yimu say anything else?"

Mo Mo shook his head, and the joy on Yang Zhi's face suddenly disappeared: "Didn't you even say whether Qin Lang was okay?" ”

Mo Mo was a little unbearable, and hurriedly replied: "Of course I said, Tian Yimu said that my uncle is all right and in good health." Several bowls of rice in one meal"

"Don't comfort me, you little girl, Qin Lang hasn't eaten a few bowls of rice in one meal, alas!" Thinking that Qin Mu had not sent her a private message for a long time, Yang Zhi was disappointed in her heart at the same time. and worried about his safety.

"Miss, don't be sad, isn't there a war ahead, uncle, he probably won't be able to spare time"

"What if. Why not with you? ”

"I'm going to tell the lord and the lady and report the news of the victory."

As the two were talking, they saw Chen and Ruoruo turn the corridor, and Yang Zhi hurriedly greeted them. Please be safe.

Chen entered the room and looked at his sleeping grandson, and then instructed Mo Moruo to guard, and pulled his daughter under the eaves outside the room and asked, "Daughter, didn't he believe it to you?" ”

Yang Zhi lowered her head and shook it slightly.

Chen sighed and said, "It stands to reason that this battle has been won, and Wuchang is safe, he should have someone take you two to Wuchang, now Yong'er is almost a year old, and he hasn't even seen his father's face, even if he doesn't think of you, he should also think of the child, Yong'er is so old and hasn't chosen a name, no matter how busy he is, doesn't he even have time to name his child?" ”

"Mother, don't say it, Qin Lang is not that kind of person, you"

"Alas, you stupid girl, how good is it to go on like this, I have to go and talk to Tian Yimu, and ask him to send someone to send you two to Wuchang."

"Mother, don't be like this, your daughter will write a letter to ask him first." Yang Zhi hesitated for a moment and then said, "Daddy, is he better?" ”

At the beginning, Yang Tinglin and Qin Mu had a gambling contract, but after learning that the city of Beijing was broken and Chongzhen was hanged, he cried in filial piety, and was sick for more than half a year because of the old injury caused by depression.

Chen and Yang Zhi are worried that Qin Mu will think that Yang Tinglin is pretending to be sick, so that the estrangement between the two sides will be more difficult to reconcile, Qin Mu does not even have a letter now, and his son is almost a year old, and he will not say that he will meet him, which makes Chen's mother and daughter even more worried that Qin Mu is disgruntled, so it will be like this.

"Mother is a woman's family, all the people who should be persuaded have been persuaded, and now alas"

"Mother, don't worry, I'll write to him and ask him, if he agrees, my daughter will take Yong'er to Wuchang. As for her father's matter, her daughter thinks it would be better to discuss it with Mr. Sima, and it would be good for Mr. Sima to come forward and make peace. ”

"Well, that's all there is to it."

*****************

Hearing that the Qing general Luck Dehun broke through Wuyang Pass, and the distance of 300 miles was actually killed in two days and one night, Qin Mu urgently dispatched Li 93,000 cavalry to meet the enemy. At the same time, Liu Fangliang was ordered to attack Azig.

Li Jiu was defeated, retreated in defeat, and was rushed to the west bank of Jushui by Lucked to meet Azig.

As for the red lady who chased from behind, two or three hundred centaurs didn't play a role in leading the way at all.

And after Liu Fangliang on the east coast suffered a small setback, he didn't dare to press Azig anymore.

After receiving the report, Qin Mu was furious, Li Jiu three thousand against four thousand, defeated the new victorious division of Luckdhun , which is understandable.

Liu Fangliang not only has the advantage of troops, but also Azig has been defeated repeatedly, there is a shortage of food, grass and weapons, and morale is low.

He immediately asked Su Jin to select 1,500 cavalry, and personally went to Macheng to remove Liu Fangliang, and he couldn't bear it anymore, and scolded Liu Fangliang as soon as he saw him, and then personally commanded 20,000 Dashun troops to pursue Azig, and let Su Jin's men and horses be the supervising team.

In a hurry, he finally caught up with Azig when he crossed the river, slashed and slashed, collected more than 2,000 Tartars who had not crossed the river, annihilated more than 900 people, and captured more than 1,200 people.

But this was far from Qin Mu's goal of completely annihilating Azig, and when Azig succeeded in joining up with Luckdhun, there were at least 14,000 people left.

On the other hand, Guo Yunlong and Hu Shouliang refused to surrender because they were killed by Liu Fangliang because Feng Peng was killed, and led 20,000 Guan Ning troops to retreat north to the middle foot of Dabie Mountain.

This undoubtedly caused great trouble to Qin Mu again.

This time, Qin Mu mobilized an army of 200,000 troops, and even due to the excessive number of troops on the eastern front, Cui Feng had to give up Chizhou City, all in order to completely annihilate the Azig army.

Unexpectedly, Zuihou made it like this, and Liu Fangliang should be mainly responsible for all this, and it was precisely because of his hesitation that Azig had the opportunity to cross the river. Regardless of the dissuasion of Zhao Han, he killed Feng Peng in order to vent his momentary anger, resulting in the death of 20,000 Guan Ning troops and their refusal to surrender.

Qin Mu had the intention of correcting him, but Zhao Han and Su Jin dissuaded him one after another. Considering that the sixty or seventy thousand Dashun troops had just been annexed, they had not yet had time to reorganize; Li Guo's tens of thousands of horses over there had not yet been settled, and Qin Mu had to temporarily suppress his murderous intent.

After Azig and Luck Dehun converged, they did not dare to stay longer and quickly withdrew to Wuyang Pass.

Qin Mu then dispatched troops and sent troops to the north to attack Wuyang Pass, determined to take this Xiongguan in his hands and fill this serious gap.

On the other hand, on the grounds of Liu Fangliang's cowardice, he began to forcibly reorganize the army of sixty or seventy thousand, damn it, if you don't want to, you can go, otherwise it will only be bad things like Liu Fangliang, and it is useless to keep it.

Qin Mu acted resolutely, and the main generals of the former Dashun Army, such as Tian Jianxiu, Yuan Zongdi, Pardon Shaoqi, and Liu Tiren, were silent and did not dare to say a word about the reorganization action.

With 20,000 troops, Qin Mu almost wiped out the Azig army on the wall, which in itself was a strong deterrent to them.

What's more, the families of the Dashun army have been sent to Huguang, and they can't disobey if they want to, and few soldiers are willing to follow you anymore.

At the same time, Qin Mu also began to review himself, this time the operation was hastily formulated by himself, and it turned out that there were many loopholes in this, and many things were not well considered;

First of all, it was a serious mistake not to take into account the cowardice of the Dashun army.

Moreover, he did not predict the variables of Wuyang Pass, which was hundreds of miles away, and failed to take precautions in advance, so that Luck Dehun could drive straight into and take Azig out.

The wise man knows that he will make a mistake. It seems that it is necessary to brainstorm in the future.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the Guanning army was finally separated and forced to the middle foot of the Dabie Mountain, which was undoubtedly the heaviest blow to Azig.

Next, Qin Mu's first task was to recruit 20,000 Guan Ning troops, and it was not easy to really annex these 20,000 horses, because they did not have families to hostage like the Dashun army;

On the contrary, their families are in the hands of the Tartars, and even the coach Wu Sangui is in the hands of the Tartars, which undoubtedly has many uncertainties.

Therefore, even if I can temporarily force land these 20,000 Guan Ning troops, how to ensure their loyalty and really use it for me will be an extremely headache.

The Guanning army was the strongest army of the Ming Dynasty, and it barely had the strength to fight with the Tartars. And most of them are cavalry, for Qin Mu, who lacks cavalry, whether he can recruit these 20,000 Guanning troops will be related to the development of the battle situation in the future.

The mountainous terrain in the south was not conducive to cavalry warfare, and the importance of cavalry was not highlighted.

However, in the plain areas of the Central Plains and Beizhili, it is the world of cavalry, and once it goes north to fight in the future, it will not be like in the south;

It is necessary to have a relatively strong cavalry for maneuvering and penetrating, rushing and interspersing, so as not to be passive everywhere and be led by the nose everywhere.
