I'm sure of the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong!

Chapter 182 Jiangxi Province

Wuyuan County, which later belonged to Jiangxi and now belongs to Anhui, is one of the six counties in Huizhou.

This is not only the intersection of the three provinces of Jiangxi, Zhejiang and Anhui, but also the passage from southern Anhui to northeastern Jiangxi, just like Hanzhong in ancient Shu.

Initially, in order to fight the civil war, Wuyuan County was moved from Huizhou to Jiangxi as a strategic bridgehead.

Emperor Zhu and Ming Dynasty wanted to attack Jiangxi not only to connect the Jiangnan area, but also because Jiangxi's strategic position itself was very important.

Although Jiangxi's presence in later generations was extremely low, and it was also known as Akarin Province, its strength was not weak at all in the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.

From a cultural point of view, during the Ming Dynasty, this place was already a hotbed for training officials in the court. There were countless famous academies. There were many people who came from Jiangxi, not to mention the feudal officials and the chief ministers of the cabinet.

There was even a saying that "all the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty were in Jiangxi".

Putting aside the cultural issues, from a strategic and military perspective, Jiangxi itself is located in the hinterland of the south of the Yangtze River, bordering Huguang to the west and covering the two provinces to the south. It can be said to be the southern version of the thoroughfare of nine provinces.

At that time, Lao Zhu won the water battle of Poyang Lake and established the unification of the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop after taking over Jiangxi.

Not only that, the Nangan area in Jiangxi was also a natural anti-Qing base. Since the late Ming Dynasty, there had been conflicts between natives and guests, competing for production materials, and even large-scale armed fights broke out.

Then, the Qing Dynasty came. Under the wanton burning, killing and looting by the Qing captives, the native people of southern Jiangxi, as well as the landlords and tenants, put aside their conflicts and united to resist the Qing Dynasty. Anti-Qing uprisings broke out one after another.

There were [-] registered households in Gan Dang during the Ming Dynasty. In October of Bingxu, the city was destroyed, leaving only [-] households.

Hu Yousheng, the commander-in-chief of the Shunzhi Dynasty to the south of Jiangxi, said: "Since the siege of southern Jiangxi, Guangxi has repeatedly invaded... more than half of them have died, and the ground has been covered for thousands of miles."

Then the "Shangyou County Chronicle" records: "Since the 13th year of Kangxi to the present, Shangyou people have been extinct, with only four walls left empty, and the lonely city is a barren mountain."

It can be said that the entire southern Jiangxi and Jiangxi provinces are like a powder keg at the moment, it just depends on when the Ming army comes to light the fire.

The news that Huizhou Prefecture had been captured by the Ming army spread quickly and soon arrived at Nanchang Prefecture, the capital of Jiangxi Province.

The governor of Jiangxi at that time was named Wang Qicheng. Although this person is not famous in history, his father and sister are famous.

His father, Wang Xin, was Sun Chengzong's son-in-law and was highly regarded by Sun Chengzong. His sister, Wang Shuzhao, was also a talented woman. It is said that even Kangxi admired her so much that he wanted to recruit her to become an official (female official) in the palace.

Born into such an excellent family, Wang Qicheng will naturally not be an idiot.

Wang Qiqin was not surprised to learn that Huizhou Prefecture had been captured by the puppet emperor.

Since ancient times, the isolated city cannot be defended, and even the entire southern Anhui Province has been lost. How long can a Huizhou government hold on with only its mountains and geographical location?

Not to mention that this fake government started in Fujian, and there are mountains everywhere in Fujian.

Huizhou Prefecture is a barrier to Jiangxi. Now that Huizhou has been broken, it will be Jiangxi's turn next.

In response to this, Wang Qicheng sighed, and immediately ordered to summon senior officials from Nanchang Prefecture and military generals to come to the governor's Yamen to discuss matters.

It's not that he is incompetent and just sits back and watches Huizhou being destroyed without going to support him.

Wang Qicheng is also a clever woman who cannot make a meal without rice!

As a strategically important place and a gathering place of world cultural heritage, Jiangxi Province is known as "Jiangxi is the home of all dynasties in civil and military affairs". However, its actual military strength is far inferior to that of the neighboring provinces of Fujian and Zhejiang.

There are only 1000 regular Green Camp troops in Jiangxi.

Note that this is a figure on paper, and it will definitely not be enough in reality.

Of course, even if the quota is full, it will be useless, because the second town in Jiangxi, Nangan Town, will definitely not be moved. If the mountain people and Hakka people in Nangan are moved, they may, no, they will definitely rebel.

Therefore, Wang Qicheng, the governor and admiral of Jiangxi (there are admirals in Jiangxi, but they are all governors and admirals) can actually mobilize only Nanrui Town.Nanrui Town is Nanchang Town. It was originally Jiujiang Town. Later, when the San Francisco dynasty was pacified and the world became peaceful, it was abolished. The main force moved to Nanchang and was renamed Nanrui Town.

The Green Camp Army, with a total of less than 1 people, had to guard various prefectures in northern Jiangxi. The number that could support Huizhou was only 2000 troops at most.

2000 men and horses are useless, and they are not enough for the hypocritical rebels to stuff their teeth.

As for those new military trainings, although they are also being practiced in Jiangxi, because Mr. Long Keduolong was previously in Anhui, the whole of Jiangxi, including the governor Wang Qi, did not pay much attention to them.

The total number of troops in Jiangxi's military training does not exceed 4, and they are all new recruits. The training is seriously insufficient. The military food and food are not deducted much, and Wang Qiqin will not let the officials below him go too far.

Nanchang City, governor's office.

Chamber.

"Sir, the Puppet Emperor has now captured the Huizhou Prefecture, and may take the Wuyuan route south to Jiangxi at any time. Please make an idea as soon as possible." The person who spoke was the second-in-command in Jiangxi, the chief envoy Diao Chengzu.

It can be seen from his tone that although Huizhou, the barrier to Jiangxi, has been broken and the entire northeastern Jiangxi is wide open, at least the officials in Nanchang Prefecture are generally calm.

This is normal. No matter how powerful the puppet government is, it will only be revealed in military reports and folk rumors. The specific details of these Jiangxi officials and soldiers have not been witnessed with their own eyes.

In addition, military newspaper rumors and the like, the farther away they are, the higher the degree of distortion, and they cannot be trusted at all. In the eyes of these people, the puppet rebels must be really powerful. If they are not powerful, they will not be able to take over Nanjing and the entire southern Anhui.

But to say that it is absolutely invincible would be an exaggeration.

Unless they are allowed to suffer a huge defeat and see with their own eyes the terror of the Ming army.

"..."

Wang Qiqin looked at the rather abstract map of Jiangxi on the desk, studied it carefully for a long time, and finally pointed in the direction of Raozhou Prefecture and said: "Now that the puppet emperor has conquered Huizhou Prefecture, the next step must be to go south from Wuyuan County and directly take Raozhou Prefecture. .”

Li Junxian, the commander-in-chief of Nanrui, complimented: "Best regards, sir!"

Damn you, this isn't obvious.

Going south from Wuyuan County, if we don't attack Raozhou City, will we also attack Guangxin Prefecture?

"Ah."

Wang Qicheng looked indifferent and continued: "President Li, since it is confirmed that the fake Ming army is heading south to Raozhou, I ordered you to lead the two battalions in front and behind, and train [-] troops to support Raozhou Prefecture."

"General, I will obey the order." Li Junxian quickly responded with his hands raised.

Wang Qiqin nodded slightly, and then ordered to mobilize [-] troops from Nanchang to train to support Guangxin Mansion.

Although it was probably known that Puppet Ming would attack Raozhou first, Guangxin Mansion also had to guard against it.

Furthermore, even if the Puppet Ming attacks Raozhou Prefecture, the [-] training troops from Guangxin Prefecture, together with the Guangxin Battalion, can support Raozhou Prefecture at any time.

Moreover, Wang Qicheng actually kept a careful eye on this wave of troop deployments. Except for the [-] Jiangxi training troops in Guangxin Prefecture, in Raozhou, a frontline military town, the Jiangxi training troops and the officers and soldiers are basically not much different. .

Although Wang Qicheng himself has never been exposed to leading soldiers in battle, he was taught by his father since he was a child, and he still understands one truth, that is, fighting is a matter for warriors.

Civil servants only need to coordinate and stabilize logistics, and leave the rest alone if they can.

So this time, Wang Qicheng almost had full power to appoint Li Junxian to lead the army, and the entire second battalion of Nanrui Town's main force, nearly [-] troops and horses, was dispatched.

Anyway, as long as Raozhou is not lost, Nanchang is safe. If Raozhou is lost, Nanchang will directly become the front line, and it will be useless no matter how many troops and horses are saved.

　There is no commander in chief of Jiujiang Town, but there is a governor of Jiangxi, but they are all governors concurrently.
