Chapter 213： Spies

The Wu Jun and the Qing army fell into a confrontation in Jiujiang, and the battle between the two sides in Jiujiang was also learned by spies from various forces.

Yueyang, He Tengjiao Department.

An exhausted spy was helped by two soldiers into the chamber, and was given a few sips of water.

"How is the situation in Jiujiang?"

He Tengjiao hurriedly asked, he had been paying attention to the fighting in Jiujiang during this period.

"My lord, the Qing army was defeated in Jiujiang. The 20,000 naval forces were wiped out. The army lost more than 10,000 people. It has retracted into the city of Jiujiang. It looks like it wants to defend Jiujiang. Wu Changqing’s siege was carried out. After that, the attack was temporarily stopped, and it seemed to be preparing siege equipment."

The spies' words made everyone laugh, and the defeat of the Qing army would benefit them even more. They could even take the opportunity to capture Wuhan.

The Wuhan area is also full of plains, and they are rich in grain production.

The counterpart of Suhu Shutianxiazu is Huguang Shutianxiazu, where Huguang refers to the area around Hubei, Hunan.

In ancient times, the importance of food production centers was far greater than that of seaside cities.

Where there is food, there is a population, and where there is food, the army can be expanded.

"Wu Changqing's troops are really powerful. They actually shrank the Qing army into the city, and gave up the riding and shooting they were good at."

Yan Qihuan said with emotion that they were always defending the city in their battles with the Qing army, and they did not dare to go out of the city and fight the Qing army because the Qing army was too powerful.

And now, it's finally the Qing army's turn to hide in the city, and the real Feng Shui takes turns.

"Wu Changqing's army is still as good as we expected, but when did their naval forces become so powerful, they actually wiped out the entire Qing Dynasty navy."

Zhou Daqi said with emotion.

"It was the Dragon King's assistance. It is said that during the naval battle, Wu Changqing's navy appeared in a fleet that could go upstream without sails and without paddles. The Manqing Shui Army thought that the enemy was assisted by the Dragon King, so it was defeated. In addition to discovering the news, his subordinates also bought two treasures from a deserter."

The detective reported the report, and at the same time asked people to fetch the flintlock and grenade that he had brought back.

He spent a lot of money to purchase this from the deserters of the Qing army. At that time, the battle was extremely chaotic, and some equipment of the Wu army was also seized and robbed.

And among them, the organic deserter took this thing with him when he was escaping.

Dragon King help?

He Tengjiao was a little displeased when he heard this. People who had studied before would naturally not believe those ghosts and gods. Therefore, he was very dissatisfied with the vague information of the spies.

From the spies' words, he only learned that Wu Jun had a special ship, which was obviously not enough.

"This is the most critical weapon of the Wu Jun. They call it a flintlock. Its rate of fire is five times that of ordinary blunderbuss. This is called a grenade. It can be thrown into the distance by hand. Professionally trained soldiers can throw five or six. Zhangyuan. After igniting this fuse for a while, the gunpowder inside will explode, and its fragments are enough to cause serious injuries and deaths to soldiers within a few feet."

The spies introduced these two weapons, of course, he also learned this information from the deserters.

Hearing this, Yan Qihuan was about to pass the flintlock immediately, and looked at it carefully.

And Zhou Daqi was studying the grenade, trying to understand the mystery in it.

It's a pity that they can't see anything just by looking at the surface.

When everyone came to the yard, He Tengjiao asked the spy to test the flintlock.

Although the spy had not been trained, he was not very skilled in operation. However, its loading speed is still visible to the naked eye, directly eliminating the step of loading gunpowder, because the bullets and gunpowder are already loaded together.

"Immediately summon the skilled craftsmen in the city, they must imitate these two weapons. The first imitated craftsman will reward five thousand taels of silver."

He Tengjiao was rare and heroic once, and promised a great reward.

The secret of Wu Jun's strength lies in these two weapons. He is already fantasizing about the scene when his army is equipped with these weapons.

After the imitation was arranged, Yan Qihuan proposed to raise troops immediately and take the opportunity to capture Wuhan.

Anyway, Luke Dehun is now in a state of desperation, and he must be unable to contemplate Wuhan. They only need to defeat the local garrison, and Wuhan and other places will fall into their hands.

This suggestion was finally adopted by He Tengjiao, and he was not reconciled to stay in Hunan forever, wanting to occupy more territory and expand his strength.

Nanfeng, a small town in the south of Fuzhou, Jiangxi.

At this time, Zhu Yujian's army was attacking this small city. As early as Wu Jun went west, he had already started operations.

However, because of the difficult mountain roads, until Wu Jun hit Jiujiang, they all just arrived in Nanfeng, even Fuzhou did not take it, and there was still a long way to go from Nanchang.

This made Zhu Yujian very anxious, he wanted to capture Nanchang before Wu Jun. At that time, he could use the name of the emperor to deter Wu Changqing's troops from taking action against him.

If Wu Jun preempts Nanchang, they will definitely not give up the site.

Zhu Yujian considers the surrounding areas of Nanchang to be the foundation of his rise and attaches great importance to it.

At this time, the advance was not smooth, and he was quite anxious, and even went directly to the Chinese army to supervise the battle himself.

It's just that they don't have cannons and only have a few matchlocks. Their siege method is still very primitive ant-attached siege, which is very disadvantaged.

Moreover, the quality of their army is inferior to that of Fang Guoan, Zheng Zhilong and others. Most of them are recruits or old and weak, not many elites.

A small county seat has blocked them for three days.

On this day, Zhu Yujian again received a secret report from the spies, saying that Wu Jun had forced the Qing army into the city of Jiujiang, and he seemed to be preparing for a general attack.

This made Zhu Yujian even more anxious. If Wu Jun took Jiujiang, there would be nothing to stop them from going south to Nanchang.

At this moment, Zhu Yujian couldn't wait for the Qing army to rise up and defeat Wu Jun.

For the benefit, he left behind all the aliens at this moment.

For him, if he doesn't get this world, then it doesn't matter who belongs to this world.

"Order Huang Shanling to step up the assault on the city, and this Nanfeng must be taken within two days. At the same time, I gave He Tengjiao my message to send a troop to Nanchang to join our army."

He Tengjiao's allegiance is Zhu Yujian now, so Zhu Yujian has the right to command He Tengjiao.

However, this is theoretically, and whether it can be transferred in practice depends on He Tengjiao's choice.

If He Tengjiao is loyal enough, then there is no problem.

But if He Tengjiao is not happy, there are many excuses.

For example, the mountain roads from Hunan to Nanchang are not easy to walk, insufficient food and grass, insufficient military pay, etc. These are all good excuses.

With the situation as it is today, He Tengjiao doesn't respect orders, and Zhu Yujian can't help him.
