The Wuchang water camp was in chaos. They were led by deputy generals Cao Shou and guerrilla Ma Yulong to display the flag of the Ming army. One part responded to the Dongting Lake navy division from upstream, and the other part shelled Wuchang City.

Zhang Changgeng never imagined that he had high hopes that the Wuchang Water Camp, which was raised with hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, would turn his face and not recognize anyone.

Without the Wuchang Water Camp to control Jiangfang, the city of Wuchang is in jeopardy. Soon, the people of Wuchang City saw ships carrying Ming troops across the river everywhere on the river, and groups of Ming troops in red military uniforms drove to Wuchang City.

Yu Shizhong, the commander of the Huguang Aid and Suppression Corps, and Tie Yi, the deputy commander, met with Li Laiheng and Yuan Zongdi, representatives of the Zhongzhen Battalion in Hanyang City.

As promised by Zhou Shixiang in the past, Wuchang and the whole province of Hubei still belong to the Zhongzheng Camp, and Yuan Zongdi is the governor of Hubei, but the loyalist camp must send troops to Henan after capturing Huchang.

Regarding this condition, the Loyalty Camp has no opinion. They had always wanted to conquer Wuchang, but their strength was such that they could not even capture Hanyang. As a result, when the Taiping Army arrived, they easily fell to Hanyang City, which made the Zhongzhen Camp both happy and suspicious at the same time. Many people are afraid that if the Taiping Army wins Wuchang, they will go back on their previous agreement and dominate Wuchang without handing it over to the Zhongzhen Camp. After all, the Taiping Army is much stronger than them. I don’t want the Taiping Army to still abide by the previous agreement. After Hanyang City was broken, none of their soldiers or soldiers entered the city. Hanyang was completely handed over to the Zhongzhen Battalion. Wuchang is very active.

After the meeting, Tie Yi personally crossed the river and was in charge of commanding all Ming troops under Wuchang City, including the Zhongzhen Camp. Hao Yaoqi, He Zhen and the others passed the message to their subordinates, whoever does not obey General Tie's command will have their head.

Yu Shizhong coordinated with Li Laiheng and others in the center of Hanyang, and at the same time agreed that after the Zhongzhen Battalion sent troops to Henan, the Taiping Army could provide money and military support. These things are too complicated and can be negotiated from time to time. However, the atmosphere of the negotiation was very good, because neither the Taiping Army nor the Loyalty Camp had any doubts about taking Wuchang.

The order for the formation of the Huguang Aid and Suppression Corps had been sent to the Guangxi Field Corps and the Hunan Field Corps from the military commander's mansion more than a month ago. This order ordered Yu Shizhong, the commander of the Guangxi Field Army, to step down, lead the fifth and thirteenth towns north, and form the Huguang Aid and Suppression Army with the second, Xinsan and Xinquan towns of the Hunan Field Army, with a total force of five. The town has 41,200 people.

The mission of the Huguang Aid and Suppression Corps is to cooperate with the loyal camp to capture Hanyang and Wuchang, and then capture Anqing along the lower reaches of the river, occupy the prefectures and counties in Jiangbei Anhui, and support Nanjing. If you use rhetoric, then the Huguang Aid and Suppression Corps is a sharp sword hanging over the Qing army in the lower reaches, including the upcoming Shunzhi army. Because they couldn't figure out when the Li Mobile Corps would join the battlefield, and from which direction it would appear in front of them.

In the transfer order, the Huguang Aid and Suppression Corps took Yu Shizhong as the leader and Tie Yi as the deputy. The 4th and 14th towns, originally belonging to the Guangxi Field Army, were temporarily controlled by Governor Shao Jiugong, who together with the 10th town assumed the defense of Guangxi. The main task of the fourth town and the fourteenth town is to block the border between Guizhou and Guizhou, relying on the fortification group to completely smash the thoughts of the Yungui Qing army entering Guizhou.

The Xiangxi Bandit Suppression Army Xinwu, Xinliu, and Ninth Towns, which were originally part of the Hunan Field Army, continued to be commanded by Zhao Sihai, the commander of the army. Because Zhao Sihai had been appointed by the imperial court as the governor of Hunan, he was the commander of the army. Retired, only the governor ruled over the armies.

The legion was originally set up by Zhou Shixiang to deal with a certain battlefield, and the commander of the legion was also a temporary post. Now there is no war in Guangxi and Hunan, so the formation of the legion has been cancelled, and the commander has also stepped down and handed over the military power to prevent the general from taking the lead. .

The situation in each province is now that the governor of Guangdong, Liao Ruixiang, controls the seventh town of Chaoshan, the eighth town of Zhaoqing, and the two towns of Xinqi and Xinba, while the navy is directly managed by the military commander's office; the governor of Guangxi, Shao Jiugong, controls the three towns; Zhao Sihai of Hunan Control the four towns; the newly established Huguang Aid and Suppression Corps controls the soldiers of the five towns, and Zhao Ziqiang, who is far away in Annan, controls the entire expeditionary army. Together with the Eastward Taiping Army and the troops left behind in Jiangxi, the total strength of the Taiping Army has reached 200,000, but the main force is less than 100,000, and there are only more than 3,600 cavalry. Compared with the Manchu cavalry superiority in the north, the Taiping Army was far behind, and there was no way to narrow the gap in a short period of time.

After Tie Yi crossed the river, as usual, he sent someone to shoot a letter of persuasion into the city. The content of the letter of persuasion to surrender has now been standardized, and generally has the same meaning. If the city is not surrendered, the officials and their families will be massacred after the city is destroyed. If it falls, the original official will be appointed.

......

"I think I Zhang Changgeng Meng Taizong Emperor is simple and concise. From his pen and stick style, he was able to edit the secretariat. After only one year, he moved to Hongwen Academy. One day, Emperor Taizong went to Hongwen Academy and saw that there were patches on my clothes. Let the subordinate assign several households of servants to me, give me a big house, and even give me the post of assistant leader, so that Zhang Changgeng can live without worry. Today, the sage is more trustworthy than me, and appointed me to be the governor of Hubei and promoted to Huguang. Governor. Since I took office, I have tried my best to think that the Qing Dynasty will calm down Huguang and Guangxi, and live up to the expectations of the Holy One. However, I never thought it would be like this today..."

In the governor's yamen, Zhang Changgeng couldn't speak to a group of staff. The staff were also choked up again and again.

"I only hate Cao Shou and Ma Yulong who are ungrateful, shameless, and betray the Governor, so that I have no Jiang defense to rely on, and sit and watch the thieves trap the city!"

Zhu Changxu, the prefect of Wuchang, was very emotional and clenched his fists tightly. Now in the city of Wuchang, because of the Ming army's persuasion to surrender, many officials are willing to surrender, especially those whose family members are in the city, and those whose families are in Hubei even wish that the Governor-General would open the door and surrender immediately, otherwise they would be buried alive with them. . It's just that taking the salary of the Qing court and making some small money on weekdays, it is really unfair that the whole family and the clan will be slaughtered by the Taiping Army.

Zhu Changxu is a native of Xiangyang, Hubei. He was born as a jinshi in the fourth year of Shunzhi. Logically, his family is in the city, and his clan is in Xiangyang. But from the moment he saw Zhang Changgeng, Zhu Changxu was very excited, and he said that he would never surrender, that he would rather the officials and commoners of the whole city be broken, and not be humiliated by the bandits and soldiers. This attitude made other officials who were bent on surrendering very disgusted. But the Governor-General can't make up his mind, and no one dared to say it and let it go.
