    At the beginning, our Governor Cai Yurong really couldn't believe that there is such a good thing in the world. The enemy would betray the enemy's friendly army and cut off foreign aid to support him.  Cheng, after Yi Cheng died without uttering a word of confession, our Governor Cai gradually began to believe that he really won the lottery this time, and finally encountered a once-in-a-lifetime idiot among the enemies.

    One day later, in the early morning of October 17, our governor Cai received an urgent report from Yu Chenglong and the upright officials. Yi Cheng's incident was probably confirmed correctly¡ªbecause on the first day, Macheng guard Wu Zhilan urgently reported,  In the Dongshan area of ??Macheng, a large number of local people gathered abnormally, and most of them held hoes, iron forks, shotguns, sticks and other murderous objects. It seemed that there were signs of civil uprising, and Wu Zhilan received a report from the local landlord that the leader of this group of people,  It's Macheng Dongshan native, He Shirong!

    "The Clippers sent an order to Yu Chenglong, asking him to organize an army to attack, and we must kill the Dongshan bandits at the first sign!" After confirming that the situation was critical, Cai Yurong, Governor Cai made a decisive decision, and immediately ordered: "Also, let Hanyang Deputy General Hao  Ren led a thousand troops from Huangban to the north, and went to Macheng to assist Yu Jackie in suppressing the rebellion!"

    "Father Commander, you still want to transfer troops from Hanyang?" Cai Lin was taken aback, and quickly dissuaded her: "Father Commander, there is no need for it?  Is Hanyang mobilizing troops? In Haier¡¯s opinion, using Huangzhou¡¯s troops to suppress the rebellion is enough, at most, it will take longer, and it will be easy to wipe out the gang of thieves in Macheng.¡±

    "Petty yellow-haired boy, you know nothing!" Cai Yurong scolded his son angrily, and then explained in a low voice: "What do you know? When Tutang and Chabeile were in Hanyang, the defense line from Hanyang to Huangzhou was always  As stable as Mount Tai, solid as solid as gold. Now that they have just left, there will be chaos in Macheng, Huangzhou. If my father doesn't get rid of this gang of thieves as soon as possible, how will I explain to Tutang? Even if Tutang is reasonable and understands that things happened by accident, the emperor sent Hanyang to supervise the prisoners of war  The exchanged Prince Gong is in Hanyang at the moment, he is the emperor's fifth younger brother, if he returns to Beijing and casually says something to the emperor, then our Cai family will have to go back and forth?"

    The Prince Gong mentioned by Cai Yurong is the fifth son of Shunzhi and the fifth younger brother of Kang Mazi - Aixinjueluo Changning. He came to Hanyang with the water transport fleet three days ago  Dadu, the servant of the household department, supervised the delivery of the army's salary and food, and welcomed the return of the prisoners of war.  Although the insidious and cunning Kang Mazi sent Chang Ning to exchange prisoners of war, and some of them deliberately made Chang Ning notorious, but Chang Ning would treat Kang Mazi casually if Tuhai and Chani made mistakes just after they left the Hanhuang defense line.  Let me just mention that Cai Yurong, who was already treated coldly by Kang Mazi because of losing Sichuan and Pianyuan, is definitely honorable in front of Kang Mazi.

    "What the father said is very true, my child understands." After being carefully explained by Cai Yurong, Cai Lin finally understood the good intentions of the traitor father, but she still felt a little worried: "But the father, Hanyang  .¡±

    "There will be nothing wrong here in Hanyang, at least within a couple of days." Cai Yurong waved his hand and said with a sneer: "Tomorrow is the day when the military pay and food will be exchanged with prisoners of war. The old thief Wu Sangui doesn't want military pay and food.  What happened at this time? On the other hand, there are few troops in Huangzhou, and there is such a turmoil in the rear. If my father does not send reinforcements to Yu Chenglong, there may be big troubles in Huangzhou."

    "Understood, my son will make arrangements now." Cai Lin couldn't compete with her traitor father, so she had to accept orders obediently.

    At the same time, Cai Lin thought to herself, since Wu Yingqi was able to hand over the contacts of the Dongshan rebels to us, self-destructing his future and betraying his counterparts across the river, it proved that Wu Jun was very sincere in implementing the permanent non-aggression peace treaty, at least in the short term.  , there will be no possibility of launching a cross-river campaign, and no abnormal mobilization of the Wu army has been found in the south of Wuchang. It is tantamount to a dream to break through the natural danger of the Yangtze River with the 10,000 second-rate Wu army in Wuchang city who are addicted to gambling.  So Cai Lin didn't hesitate any longer, and hurriedly sent an order for Cai Yurong, ordering Hanyang Vice General Hao Ren to lead a thousand troops northward to help the Huangzhou Qing army put down the chaos in Macheng.

    Cai Lin is definitely not the only general and official of the Qing army who has the same thoughts as Cai Lin. Cai Yurong and his other sons also have the same thoughts in Xinyang City.  In addition, Cai Yurong's two major military deputies, Sang E and Fang Zhengse, also felt that Wu Yingqi was so interesting, and they guarded him like thieves and robbers.  The envoy thanked him and used the tense relationship between the Qing army and the Wu army to facilitate a long-term friendly relationship in the future. Cai Yurong heard that it was right, and immediately sent envoys to cross the river with gifts to thank Wu Yingqi.

    clear? good at.  For other matters, wait until Hanyang is conquered, and then listen to the arrangement of the father.  "

    Wu Yingqi, who has the highest official position and status, has said so. What else can the generals of Wu Jun say, and they all congratulated Fatty Lu together.  The son-in-law is in charge of you for the time being, and the nephew and son-in-law dare not disobey the order of grandfather Jun, so they can only offend."

    "It's okay, it's okay, you are a person promoted by your uncle, and now you can command me, it proves that I have a good vision, what is there to be ashamed of?" Wu Yingqi, who had been ordered by the old traitor Wu, laughed and waved: "You are welcome.  Now, give the order quickly, if anyone dares to disobey you, uncle will clean him up for you!"

    "Thank you, thank you very much." Fatty Lu quickly cupped his hands in thanks, then stood up straight and asked, "Generals, in the battle of crossing the river, the sailors of the ships will be in charge of Taiwan's allies, and our soldiers will be responsible for the charge. Who dares to be the vanguard, go  Destroy the Mangou navy and open the way for my army to cross the river?"

    "The last general is willing to go!" To Fatty Lu's surprise, besides Fatty Lu's confidantes, several generals of the Wu army stood up and saluted Fatty Lu to ask for orders.  Among them, Wu Yingqi's deputy, Wang Xu, was the most resolute. He took a step forward, knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands and said loudly, "Marshal Lu, the last general, Wang Xu, is willing to be the vanguard of the whole army and open the way for the army to cross the river!"

    "General Wang, I don't believe you if it's not my brother" Fatty Lu hesitated¡ªthis Wu army general named Wang Xu didn't have much contact with Fatty Lu, and he was usually taciturn. Fatty Lu didn't know him very well, so he really didn't know.  Dare to entrust him with the most important tasks.

    "Marshal Lu, do you feel that the general is not familiar with water warfare, so you are not very relieved?" Wang Xu saw what Fatty Lu was thinking, and said proactively: "The general dare not lie to Marshal Lu and the second prince.  As early as when Wuchang was captured, the general had already concluded that the prince would launch a battle to cross the river sooner or later, so this year, the general led his headquarters to take turns to practice swimming and boating in the Yangtze River and Liangzi Lake every day. Now the general has more than a thousand soldiers under his command  , are already quite proficient in water and able to drive a boat. I will practice hard for a year, just for today, and I hope the commander will make it happen!"

    "Yifeng, Uncle can testify for Wang Xu on this point." Wu Yingqi said, "Uncle can testify. When Uncle brought his brothers to gamble and have fun, Wang Xu was always leading the headquarters to practice water warfare.  I praised him. It¡¯s just that you are often not in Wuchang, so I don¡¯t know much about it.¡±

    "Talent, another talent that I have neglected." Fatty Lu raised his eyebrows, and began to look at Wang Xu, who was usually taciturn, with admiration - to have such foresight, what is it but talent?  At that moment, Fatty Lu nodded immediately and said: "Very good, then General Wang, I will entrust you with the important task of vanguard!"

    (Note: Wang Xu is not a fictional person. He was a brave general of the Wu army trained in the mid-stage of the San Francisco Rebellion. He defeated Yue Le's army in the Changsha War and forced Yue Le to withdraw to Jingzhou. He was the most outstanding during the San Francisco Rebellion.  General Mu Zhan of the Qing Dynasty was also defeated by Wang Xu alone in this battle, and his whereabouts are unknown.)  Your support is my greatest motivation.)
