Chapter 106: The fire broke out in the backyard of Ning

Many seemingly reckless generals in history are often very skilled and brave. However, all kinds of courage are based on them.

The so-called soldiers are brave.

Fan Guang was ordered to control more than 10,000 people from the Nanjing Jingying and the Yangtze River Navy.

These people, Fan Guang, only knew a name, did not study it carefully at all. It was impossible to understand it in depth in a few days.

I saw that the enemy was more than three or four times more military than ours.

In this case, Fan Guang was cautious, not because he had lost his qi and blood when he was old, and he had no courage.

"Mr. Hou is wise." Liu Chang said with some conviction at this moment.

Many times, battlefield intelligence cannot be spread in time.

For example, when Fan Guang was preparing to take the risk, the battle situation in Hukou did not develop to this point. But if we review the situation now, then Fan Guang would wait for one more day in Nanjing and wait for the Jiangsu troops to meet, Hukou might be defeated.

The situation will be too embarrassing then.

Fan Guang said: "Officer Liu Ying, you lead your troops to set up defenses along the coast to prevent Ning Ni from killing a single shot."

"Yes." Liu Chang said.

Then the Hukou city gate opened wide.

When Hukou City was in danger, Han Wen had already ordered the blockade of all the city gates in Hukou. So after a while, the city gates were opened.

Han Wen immediately bowed and said, "The emperor has met the marquis."

Fan Guang said: "Mr. Han, guarding Hukou to the death, is the most important contribution to suppressing rebellion, and there is no need to be too polite."

Fan Guang and Han Wen joined the city. Fan Guang talked secretly with Han Wen and said, "Mr. Han, what are the movements of Ning Ni?"

Han Wen said: "Ning Ni has several mansions in succession, claiming to be 300,000 soldiers, but the following officials seem to have only tens of thousands of elite troops, with tens of thousands of troops being the basis, with Nanchang as the foundation. However, the following officials' opinions, the key to Ning Ni's rebellion is not in Nanchang, but outside Nanchang."

Fan Guang said: "You mean."

Korean did not speak, but pointed to the west.

Fan Guang immediately understood.

In Korean, King Ning's rebellion, and now Fan Guang has arrived, King Ning cannot enter the Yangtze River Basin. The fate of King Ning is just to be trapped in the Nanchang area. Although King Ning has not been destroyed at this moment, he has no chance.

The only chance of King Ning was to wait for a vassal king to raise an army elsewhere, and the most likely one was King Chu.

Han Wen then handed another piece of paper to Fan Guang.

After reading it, Fan Guang read it, it was a document to persuade surrender. However, the key was the content of the surrender. It was one of his words, saying that the King of Chu, King of Shu, and King of Qin were all promoted at the same time.

Fan Guang said: "Do you think this is true?"

Han Wen said: "Of course not. If this is true, King Ning would naturally try every means to conceal it. Now doing so can only show that all the vassal kings in the world are all interested in the court."

"Just, you must be careful."

Fan Guang said: "What do you mean?"

Han Wen said: "Since the Marquis has arrived at Hukou, I should go back to Jiujiang."

Fan Guang understood that Korean to Jiujiang was to prevent the upstream.

The strategic location in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River in the Jiujiang area is to prevent Nanchang and cut off the connection between Poyang Lake and the Yangtze River, the focus is on the mouth of the lake. If we want to prevent the threat from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, the focus is on the Jiujiang.

Han Wen himself knew that it was okay to defend the city, but if he really wanted to command the war, it would be useless. Fan Guang could also be called a famous general in the world. The battle of Poweizang had already been passed down to the world.

Such a famous minister is here, and he will retreat second, which is enough.

Although the court has ordered Huguang to pay attention, it is better to be more careful at this time.

He couldn't guarantee anything else, but he could guarantee that even if Huguang changes and Jiujiang is there, the two rebellions will never merge.

Fan Guang said: "Don't Lord Han feel it's a pity?"

The merit of fighting rebellion is a great achievement, both civil and military officials. Fan Guang can even use this military merit to try to see if he can attack the title of Duke in his lifetime.

Han Wen's achievements in guarding Hukou are still good.

If you can defeat Nanchang with Fan Guang, it will not be a problem to upgrade to several levels.

But Han Wen wanted to go to Jiujiang because of a possible threat. It is very likely that he would do nothing in this rebellion. He just prevented it in case.

Han Wen said: "Mr. Marquis is joking. I have a small personal matter and a big national matter. There are not many people in this place, but Han, the young man from Jiujiang, lost his backbone. Han knows which is more important."

Fan Guang said: "In this way, I will use my contribution to Hukou to temporarily serve as the governor of Jiangxi, stationed in Jiujiang, and ensure the logistics of the army."

Han Wen immediately said, "Thank you, Marquis."

It is far from enough to be a governor of a province with Korean qualifications.

Fan Guang's previous line chief was appointed temporarily, but it was OK to wait until the rebellion was quelled, but it would be difficult for Han Wen to sit down. Even so, having this temporary governor term will be of great benefit to Han Wen's future promotion.

Both sides have not finished speaking yet.

Someone came to report below and said, "Someone came from the south, saying that there was an emergency military situation."

After hearing this, Fan Guang immediately let someone put it in.

When the visitor saw Fan Guang, he did not dare to speak much, but submitted a letter.

Fan Guang opened it and couldn't help laughing, saying, "It's indeed my good nephew, who is like a father. I have said a long time ago that my brother and sister are really a wife. What do you know? Brother Han should be the talent of a general."

This letter was not written by others, but by Han Tiecheng.

Now Han Tiecheng is the chief inspector of Jiangxi. He is in charge of the arrest of thieves in Jiangxi.

He originally followed Li Dongyang to Ninghua, Fujian. During Li Dongyang's term, he pacified all the bandits in Ninghua, Fujian. Li Dongyang transferred to the capital and made arrangements for him before leaving. He did not place him in Fujian, nor did he take him back to the capital, but was transferred to Ganzhou Prefecture for inspection.

There is no other reason.

It is because there are many bandits in Jiangxi.

Because Jiangxi's population density is the first in all provinces of the Ming Dynasty, and the number of bandits in Jiangxi is the largest in the Ming Dynasty. Just open the history books of the Ming Dynasty and you will find that the bandits in Jiangxi are almost the same as the Ming Dynasty. Even the Ming Dynasty's great Wang Yangming started his career by destroying the bandits in Jiangxi.

It is more conducive to the performance of Han Tiecheng's ability in Jiangxi.

So, Han Tiecheng led 300 inspections to quell the bandits and chaos.

After all, the Ming Dynasty is still quite Qingming. There are many small bandits accompanying them, but not many large bandits. The bandits are all old, weak, sick and disabled. Even more than a thousand bandits may not be able to beat these 300 people.

Han Tiecheng has Li Dongyang as the backstage, so his achievements are difficult to be buried. In addition, he has a different look at Han Tiecheng with the local civil servants in Jiangxi.

The reason is very simple.

The Ming Dynasty's military system was strict, and it was extremely cumbersome for local officials to mobilize their troops. When there was no governor before, they even had to agree to the Beijing or Nanjing Ministry of War.

It's so troublesome this time.

Now even if there is a governor, the governor will nod even if he wants to mobilize an army of even a sentry.

But inspections are different.

In name, he is an official, not a soldier, but plays a role as a soldier to a certain extent. It is very convenient to mobilize. In addition, Han Tiecheng is also very capable.

So Han Tiecheng wanted to be lent to other prefectures by Ganzhou to suppress bandits, but later became the general inspector of Jiangxi. The governor of Jiangxi added personnel to Han Tiecheng, giving Han Tiecheng a thousand people.

But there are only a thousand people.

No matter how many, it won't work.

This number has been discussed repeatedly from top to bottom. After all, some local actions really require the intervention of armed personnel.

When King Ning rebelled, he never regarded the more than a thousand people under Han Tiecheng as any problem. Therefore, when King Ning launched the campaign in Nanchang, Han Tiecheng was still in the mountains.

When the Nanchang Incident came, Han Tiecheng was shocked and immediately withdrew from the mountains. He discussed with several prefectures including Ganzhou, gathered the strong men and women from various prefectures and counties, and summoned more than 10,000 people to head north with great fanfare.

But Han Tiecheng also knew who he was under his command.

After all, the mainland has been in peace for a long time, and it is no better than the nine-sided men. If the strong men from the nine-sided sides are integrated together, they will be a large army after a little rectification. However, the people of Jiangxi do not have this quality.

Han Tiecheng did not have the ability of Wang Yangming. He could only make great contributions on the one hand, and send people to send letters to the surrounding provinces and request support.

The letters he sent here were not expected to be delivered to his father's old friend.

I have to say that this is fate.
