Ming Zuo

Chapter 720

The military operations of the new army, as long as they start, become thunderous.

Although there were only two regiments, they easily swept across the south of the Yangtze River.

The main force of the First Marine Regiment was led by Gu Erzhong himself, crossed the Huangpu River all the way south, and recovered Nanhui, Fengxian, Jinshan and other places one after another.

Of course.

It is not entirely correct to say that recovery.

The correct statement should be to receive.

Because these places have not been poisoned by the flames of war, and have always been peaceful.

When the war in Songjiang Mansion started, the businessmen and gentry in these places acted spontaneously, driving out all the officials sent by the imperial court, and governing the place by themselves.

With the arrival of the new army, people from all over the city opened the city gates to welcome them. The whole process was smoother than an armed parade.

In front is Jinshan County.I don't know what happened to my Jinshan father, who was harmed by the dog official? "

Because he wanted to recover Jinshan, Hou Chengzu acted with the army.

When they were in Songjiang Mansion, these generals, who were fighting anyway, had already met Zuo Menggeng.

Zuo Menggeng highly praised their feat of sacrificing their lives for righteousness.

After seeing the strength and might of the new army, Hou Chengzu wanted to join the army wholeheartedly.

He has obtained Zuo Menggeng's consent, and after regaining Jinshan and stabilizing the situation, he will go to the military academy to study.

The young Hou Chengzu is full of enthusiasm, and he fantasizes that in the future, he can lead thousands of troops to pacify the world like Zuo Yong, Tang Wenhuan, Gu Erzhong and others.

The only thing I worry about is the safety of my hometown?

Obviously his worries were unnecessary.

Jinshanwei is no different from ordinary people, and even the people in the city should do whatever they want, as if this place is like a paradise.

Hou Chengzu searched for someone and found out that when the news of the defeat of Zhu Guobi, Fang Yuegong and others came, the local court officials immediately fled.

"Hey! This battle is not fought, and it is boring to just walk."

Taking over Jinshan intact, Gu Erzhong looked depressed.

As a general, how can he show his abilities and earn military merits without fighting?

Hou Chengzu didn't know how to comfort him.

, although the imperial court has not had any resistance so far, it cannot be ignored.Going beyond Jinshan is Zhejiang, and I don’t know if the court officials in Zhejiang will try to do something wrong, so please be careful. "

Gu Erzhong listened to Hou Chengzu's reminder.

"Send two troops forward immediately, and at the same time send people to investigate the movement in Zhejiang."

The combat mission Zuo Menggeng gave him was to recover the southern area of ​​Songjiang Mansion, but he was not allowed to cross the border into Zhejiang.

Therefore, the actions of the First Marine Regiment stopped for the time being.

But this stop made the court officials in Zhejiang let out a sigh of relief.

As early as a month ago, when the new army had just landed in Songjiang Mansion, Yu Sixun, governor of Zhejiang Province, had a premonition that the situation was serious, and hastily mobilized troops to deploy in the Jiaxing area.

Later, when I heard that tens of thousands of troops in Nanjing had collapsed in the first battle, all civil and military personnel in Zhejiang were terrified.

They don't think that Zhejiang's army is stronger than Nanzhili's.

Tens of thousands of troops were defeated, and if the new army really came, the people in Zhejiang might also be delivering food.

Seeing that the new army had stopped at Jinshanwei at this time, the Zhejiang side was somewhat relieved.

Afterwards, the new army made reconnaissance everywhere, and soon connected with Zhejiang.

The two sides tentatively sent representatives and had some discussions.

Knowing that the new army had no plans to march into Zhejiang, Wenwu of Zhejiang immediately fell to the ground, and quickly made a promise to the new army.

Soldiers and horses in Zhejiang will never cross the border.

Ever since, the imperial court's attitude towards Shandong's actions has not yet been announced, but Zhejiang has reached an agreement with the new army in private.

There is no fighting on the southern front.

Compared with the southern route, the western route is not much better.

"I said, can't you walk properly? What kind of broken place is this?"

Seeing another river appear in front of him, Tang Wenhuan finally broke out.

Why say it again?
Because he couldn't remember exactly how many rivers he crossed on the way from Songjiang Mansion.

It gave him the feeling that every few steps he walked was blocked by a river.

If there is a bridge on the river, it will be easy to handle, just pass it directly.

But often there are no bridges on the river in many places, so they can only be built temporarily.

Or send it by boat.

Obviously there was no battle at all along the way, but the daily marching distance was only twenty or thirty miles.

It took more than two days to walk from Songjiang Mansion to Qingpu.

The situation in Jiangnan really drove Tang Wenhuan crazy.

"Hehe, the general doesn't know that the water network in the south of the Yangtze River is densely covered and criss-crossed. The people here rely on waterways for their livelihood and business. When Ming Taizu competed with Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng for the world, they also had to decide the winner on the water."

The person who accompanied Tang Wenhuan was Chen Mo, a businessman from Taicang.

After the Songjiang Mansion uprising, the merchants and common people in Taicang were inspired to burn the rations of the officers and soldiers, and then occupied the county seat.

In order to prevent the imperial court from counterattacking, the merchants in Taicang discussed and sent people to Songjiang to ask for reinforcements.

Chen Mo is the representative.

This time the new army attacked westward, and Chen Mo acted as a guide.

Tang Wenhuan was numb.

"It's no wonder that Jiangnan has always been able to settle down in a corner throughout the ages. This kind of geography is really not easy to attack."

No matter how slow the new army walked, but because there was no resistance, they would eventually reach their destination one day.

Four days later, the new army crossed Qingpu and formally entered Suzhou Prefecture.

Tang Wenhuan's troops were divided into two groups.

All the way straight to Kunshan, all the way to Taicang.

As long as the two places are captured, the western barrier of Songjiang Mansion will be established.

Seeing that Taicang was getting closer, Tang Wenhuan summoned all the generals and warned them repeatedly.

"Our army's military uniform is very different from that of the people in the south of the Yangtze River. Remember not to be loud and presumptuous, so as not to panic the people. Let me tell you, if anyone disturbs the people, I will not spare you."

Military appearance and military discipline have always been the motto of the new army. Generals at all levels kept it in their hearts, and sternly conveyed it to all soldiers after returning home.

Taicang was finally approaching, Tang Wenhuan cheered up and walked ahead.

Seeing an old man on the side of the road staring at him dumbfounded, he hurried forward.

"Old man, we are the new army from Shandong, and we are here to rescue the local people. Don't be alarmed. Although we pretend to be different, we have no malicious intentions."

"What?"

After hearing his comfort, the old man was a little puzzled.

"Your army, what kind of disguise is this?"

This time it was Tang Wenhuan's turn not to understand.

Isn't it unusual for the new army to have a completely different military appearance?

Before he could figure it out, there was a sudden drumming and music in front of him, and the whistling of suonas and trumpets was ear-piercing.

Tang Wenhuan looked up, and saw a group of people suddenly appearing at the corner of the street ahead.

I saw these people wearing red hairpins and fluttering gauze skirts, but they still wore bellybands outside the skirts.

Even the most dissolute kiln sister, how dare she be so immoral in broad daylight?
But these demons and ghosts are all...

male!

Tang Wenhuan saw one of them with his own eyes. He was obviously big and round, with a full face and beard.

But there is a circle of delicate flowers on the head, and the two cheeks have been smeared with a lot of makeup.

The most outrageous thing is that this guy is still wearing a horse-faced skirt that only women can wear. There are no pants under the skirt, and the two hairy thighs wantonly stimulate the eyeballs.

"Wow!"

Tang Wenhuan vomited on the spot.

The big guy in women's clothing is so terrifying!
