At the end of Ming Dynasty: I, Sun Kewang!Desperate comeback!

Chapter 285 Surrender should be early, otherwise there will be no chance!

Although Zhang Chaolin went from Baoyi to the position of governor of Jiangxi.

But the characteristics of our Qing Dynasty are well known.

The Manchu nobles looked down on the Han people from the bottom of their hearts and did not regard the Han people as their own!

Therefore, even a high-level traitor like Zhang Chaolin often suffers from anger.

But having said that, we, the Qing Dynasty, were kind to him after all!

Zhang Chaolin's heart was filled with mixed emotions when he thought of the grace these people had received.

"Sir, the ruler of the country is powerful, and the soldiers and horses in Jiujiang City are frightened. Now a hundred thousand troops are outside the city. Once an attack is launched, I am afraid that Jiujiang will be captured by Feng Shuangli in one fell swoop!"

The cronies continued to persuade: "If you don't change things at this time, if you hesitate, we will have no chance to change things!"

"It is only wise for you to raise the city, welcome the king's troops into the city, and then recruit the whole province of Jiangxi to make contributions to the country."

"Otherwise, both you and I will die without a burial place!"

Zhang Chaolin had a fierce struggle in his heart as his cronies continued to persuade him.

This city will be a disappointment to the Qing Dynasty for its kindness.

But if he insists on defending the city, he may lose his head and body.

If there was still a chance, Zhang Chaolin would not even think about surrendering.

But the current situation in Jiujiang is even worse than that of Nanjing.

Lang Tingzuo and the others faced only pirates who were attacking thousands of miles away.

But what Zhang Chaolin had to face was the Western bandits who had captured Jiangnan and Huguang!

The main forces of the Qing Dynasty have been defeated, and Jiangnan has been strategically attacked by Sun Kewang.

All Huguang in the west fell, and only Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao were left struggling in Guangdong in the south.

When Feng Shuangli went up the river, he not only had more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, but also due to the tight situation in Wuchang and the high consumption of pay, the green camp soldiers in Jiangxi still owed pay.

People in Green Camp were already in a state of dissatisfaction, and now they were in debt. How could they fight and defend the Qing Dynasty to the death?

If they stick to Nanjing, Lang Tingzuo and others will escape death.

Then Zhang Chaolin will die if he defends Jiujiang.

Since death is inevitable if he persists, it is time for Zhang Chaolin to find a way out.

"I have been in Jiangxi for many years, exterminating bandits, encouraging farmers to gather, and helping Jiangxi recover from the chaos of Jin Shenghuan and Jie Chongxi. I also pay millions in taxes to the court every year."

"Now that the situation is poor and the thieves have been surrendered, I can be considered worthy of the Qing Dynasty." Zhang Chaolin let out a long sigh and slumped down in his seat.

Jiangxi Province has always been restless. Before Zhang Chaolin took office, in addition to the rebellion of Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren, there was also the rebel guerrilla army led by Jie Chongxi in Jiangxi.

Although Jiangxi is a large province with hundreds of thousands of hectares of arable land, it is not only several times that of Fujian but also better than Guangdong.

However, due to the existence of these people, before Zhang Chaolin took charge of Jiangxi, the Qing Dynasty was not only unable to obtain food and salary from Jiangxi, but also had to invest a large amount of resources every year to deal with the Jiangxi rebels led by Jie Chongxi.

This state of blood loss lasted until Jie Chongxi died in battle and Zhang Chaolin took office.

Since he took office as a high-ranking governor, he has suppressed rebels, gathered refugees, restored production, and achieved remarkable results.

The land of Jiangxi is not only self-sufficient, but can also accumulate excess money and grain to be shipped to Hunan and Guangxi to fight against the Great Western Army.

The year before last, Zhang Chaolin was awarded the title of Minister of the Ministry of War by the Qing Dynasty as a reward for his contribution to the Guangxi Association of Payments.

Most of the Manchu governors were very capable. Li Shutai helped Shang Kexi fight against Li Dingguo in Guangdong and Guangxi, and then resisted Zheng Chenggong in Fujian and Zhejiang.

Li Yinzu and Zhang Changgeng of Huguang also made great achievements in domestic affairs.

Li Guoying of Sichuan is even more capable of literary and military skills.

Lang Tingzuo and others from Jiangnan are not bad either.

However, with Sun Kewang's efforts, these Manchu and Qing bastards no longer regained their previous majesty.

Lang Tingzuo and others were directly killed by Sun Guozhu.

Li Yinzu and Zhang Changgeng were even besieged in Wuchang.

Now Zhang Chaolin was helpless in Jiujiang and finally made his own choice.

"The governor is wise and cannot go against the general trend. As long as we can unite the city, not only will we be able to protect our glory and wealth, but we will also gain the power of the dragon!" A group of close friends were overjoyed when they heard this.

Zhang Chaolin's tone has softened and he has made a choice.

With the governor's reputation and ability, as long as he can take this step, his glory and wealth can be guaranteed.

But the status of the governor was preserved, and only the masters and staff who were attached to Zhang Chaolin could maintain their status.

Otherwise, who would know them if Zhang Chaolin fell?

"Hurry up and contact Feng Shuangli. I want to raise the city anyway. Let's see what conditions Sun Kewang will give me." Zhang Chaolin said slowly.

Among the governors of the Qing Dynasty, only one has surrendered to Sun Kewang.

The three people from Guangdong and Guangxi are now in the city of Guangzhou.

Among the three people in Huguang, Li Yinzu was in Wuchang, and Zhang Changgeng was dismissed from his post because he lost Hunan, but he was still trapped in Wuchang.

Only Pian Yuan Yuan Kuoyu surrendered to Sun Kewang in Yuanzhou.

Among the governors of Liangjiang, Lang Tingzuo and Jiang Guozhu were already dead.

He, the governor of Jiangxi, was the second person to surrender to Sun Kewang.

Although I am not the first person to try this, there are differences between governors and governors.

Just like the gap between the governors of Liangjiang and Yungui.

Zhang Chaolin, the governor of Jiangxi, is in charge of Jiangxi Province. Jiangxi is now stronger than Hunan.

Moreover, in terms of farmland and manpower, the conditions in Jiangxi at this time are even better than those in Huguang.

Huguang now only has 390,000 hectares of cultivated land, but Jiangxi has a full 440,000 hectares, more than four times that of Fujian, and more than the total of Guangdong and Guangxi.

Although Yuan Kuoyu is also a governor, as a partial governor, he can only control the western Hunan area.

Although Zhang Chaolin was on the same level as him, he was in charge of Jiangxi Province, and the territory and resources he controlled were ten times that of Yuan Kuoyu.

In fact, it stands to reason that Jiangxi, a large province, should have a governor. This is the case in our Ming Dynasty.

It’s just that the Qing Dynasty abolished the position of Governor of Jiangxi.

Recently, at the suggestion of Zhang Chaolin, it was planned to establish governors of Jiangnan and Jiangxi respectively.

Therefore, he is also a governor, but Zhang Chaolin is the top governor and has already touched the threshold of a governor.

And Yuan Kuoyu was the youngest governor of the Qing Dynasty.

The reason why the Governor of Pianyuan was established was because the land in western Hunan was poor and there were many unruly people, so it was necessary to set up a special governor to take good care of it.

Although Zhang Chaolin cannot be the first person to eat crabs, his status and strength are far above Yuan Kuoyu.

It is precisely because of this that he still has great expectations for his future treatment.

"Okay! I'll do it now!"

Zhang Chaolin's master quickly handed over his hand and prepared to contact Feng Shuangli to surrender, oh no, it's all about the matter anyway.

This Western thief has always been cruel. Anyway, if we don't hurry up when it comes to this kind of thing, I'm afraid they won't even be given a chance to surrender!

Think about the green camp in Guangxi. They don't do anything before the war starts. After the war, even surrender becomes a luxury.

So now, before Feng Shuangli attacks the city, they must hurry up.

However, at this moment, a cannon sounded suddenly.

Jiujiang City, which was originally relatively peaceful, suddenly became chaotic.

Zhang Chaolin's heart went blank and he stood up quickly. And the cronies around him also looked pale.

If Feng Shuangli attacked the city, they might not even have a chance to surrender.

"Hurry, follow me out of the house!" Zhang Chaolin felt regretful.

If he had known about this incident, he should have contacted Feng Shuangli earlier.

If the Western bandits attack the city, I won't be able to withstand this wave.

I'm afraid that not only will the treatment be greatly reduced, but there may not even be a chance to surrender.

When she thought of this, Zhang Chaolin rushed out of the house as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

And his cronies also acted hurriedly. If the city was breached now, they would be in trouble.

The group of people rushed out of the government office in a hurry. Before they could look around, a scout rushed over to report.

"It's not good! It's not good!" The scout was in a panic and his words were incoherent.

"What happened! Did the Western Bandits attack the city?" Zhang Chaolin asked quickly.

"No, no!" the scout waved his hands quickly.

"No? That's good, that's good!" Zhang Chaolin and others breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Feng Shuangli didn't send troops to attack the city, everything would be fine.

"What exactly happened in the city?" Zhang Chaolin breathed a long sigh of relief and said with relief.

"Sir Governor, Dong Weiguo led his troops to rebel and is attacking the governor's office!" the scout said with a mournful face.

"What!" Zhang Chaolin and others were stunned.

"Shameless! Shameless! Lord Governor, Dong Weiguo eats my Qing Dynasty salary and wears my Qing Dynasty clothes, but he didn't expect to raise troops to rebel. This is really shameless!" A group of cronies kept yelling.

What do you think this is?

As soon as they were about to surrender, Dong Weiguo led his troops to kill them.

Dong Weiguo felt comfortable with this action, but what should they do?

"Capture Zhang Chaolin and reward you with a thousand taels of silver!"

A loud shout rang out, and a large number of town signs marched towards Zhang Chaolin's temporary governor's office.

The shouts of killing that filled the sky from far to near appeared in Zhang Chaolin's ears.

"Follow me to meet the enemy!" Zhang Chaolin was extremely angry and immediately ordered the surrounding Fubiao to meet the enemy.

Jiujiang Commander-in-Chief Dong Weiguo wants his own life!

Now not only is his future gone, but his life is in danger at the hands of this thief. How can Zhang Chaolin endure this?

The surrounding fubiao people all looked at each other in shock when they heard this.

For a while, no one stepped forward to fight.

Hearing this, Zhang Chaolin opened his mouth to urge again, but more than a hundred cavalrymen quickly approached.

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Chaolin appeared in front of him.

"Hurry! Hurry and fight!" He spoke again with great grief and anger.

Some Fubiao soldiers who had received some money from Zhang Chaolin gritted their teeth when they saw this, and fired at the cavalry from a long distance away.

But more Fubiao soldiers were unmoved, and some even began to flee.

"Shoot, shoot quickly!" Zhang Chaolin said with a cry when he heard this.

A soldier heard this and plucked up the courage to aim at the cavalry again, but a big hand fell on his.

"Third brother, this year's military pay is only for two months. We only have this little money. If we shoot it with a gun, it will be worthy of the governor's salary. There is no need to risk our lives for such a little money."

As soon as these words came out, the Fubiao who raised the guns suddenly realized and put down the guns in their hands.

Jiangxi was originally self-sufficient in food and salary, but this year the situation is particularly tense.

Since Sun Kewang went north to Huguang at the beginning of the year, in order to defend the key place of Wuchang.

Most of the food and wages in Jiangxi are sent to Wuchang.

Not only that, Jiangxi Admiral Yang Jie and the Jiujiang Navy went west to support them.

This certainly made Wuchang stronger.

But the local green campers in Jiangxi were scolded.

All the food and salary have been sent to Wuchang. What do they eat and drink?

So not only the ordinary Green Camp soldiers, but also Zhang Chaolin's Fu Biao were in arrears with pay for several months.

This was one of the reasons why Zhang Chaolin did not dare to stick to Jiujiang.

If he really defended to the end, with the green battalion soldiers under him looking like this, he might be the only one who would die in the end if he defended to the end!

But he never expected that Dong Weiguo would rebel just as he made up his mind before contacting Feng Shuangli.

Zhang Chaolin, who now owed Fubiao, was dumbfounded.

"Shoot, shoot quickly, I beg you!" Zhang Chaolin begged with a tearful voice.

However, the people around him remained motionless one by one, just not wanting to risk their lives.

Dozens of cavalry came over and quickly surrounded Zhang Chaolin and others.

"Haha, Lord Governor, long time no see." Dong Weiguo said with a smile on horseback.

"Dong Weiguo, you are shameless!" Zhang Chaolin yelled.

The surrounding cavalry saw this and wanted to take action, but Dong Weiguo waved his hand.

"Swear, let this old man scold me. The future of me and my brothers depends on this old man. What's wrong with letting him curse a few words?" Dong Weiguo laughed.

As soon as he said this, the surrounding cavalrymen burst into laughter.

Zhang Chaolin was so sad and angry that he almost fell down, clutching his chest.

That afternoon, Dong Weiguo respectfully welcomed Feng Shuangli into the city.

The green battalion soldiers in the city lined the streets and welcomed them wholeheartedly, their faces full of anticipation.

"Everyone in the Green Camp will be rewarded with money and food for three months according to the custom of the king!" Feng Shuangli, the warhorse, announced loudly.

Anyway, it was the custom of Lord Sun of the Green Camp to reward three months of money and food. This was the case with Tan Hong and others in Hunan, the same was done with the Songjiang Green Camp, and it was still the case in Jiangxi.

It is now the consensus of Green Camp south of the Yangtze River that Sun Guozhu is the most caring person in Green Camp.

Have you not seen what the Green Camp in Guangdong and Guangxi was like before and what it is like now?

Jiangxi is next to Guangdong, long before Sun Guozhu raised his army.

Jiangxi Green Camp was jealous of the Green Camp of Guangdong and Guangxi, and many Green Camps even brought letters to Lord Sun.

I want him to come to Jiangxi and take them with him.

Without the support of Sun Guozhu, the green campers are just younger brothers in the Qing Dynasty. But once they have the backing of Sun Guozhu, the green campers of Guangdong and Guangxi can directly ride on the heads of Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao to shit.

After receiving the reward from the Lord Sun, he took the dividends from the Lord Sun, and then followed the Lord Sun to divide the land that the Eight Banners soldiers worked hard to encircle.

Jiangxi Luying's eyes turned blood red when he thought of this, and he wished he could invite Lord Sun to join Jiangxi!

Although things are uncertain now, Lord Sun's army has finally arrived in Jiangxi.

So what are Jiangxi Green Campers waiting for? Live a good life with the king's father! (End of chapter)
