The fighting lasted for two days and two nights in Nanchang, and countless people in the city suffered.
Wan Yuanji has been left in the Admiral's Yamen, but this man is not panic, otherwise he would be called Wan Tietou in vain.
Eat and drink well every day, eat and sleep when you wake up, read a book when you are bored, and even write poems occasionally.
"Mr. Wan, my governor has invited you."
Wan Yuanji heard the shouts of killing outside getting closer and closer to the Admiral's Mansion, and knew that Jindu Town should be at a disadvantage, but the fact that they continued to fight for two days and two nights showed that the situation was not the worst.
"Go get some water. I need to take a shower and change clothes first!"
"My lord, I am impatient. Please follow me to see Du Zhen first."
"Since you have come to invite me, do as I say, or you can take me to see Jin Shenghuan." Wan Yuanji was very proud.
The Zhongjun looked at this stance and finally had no choice but to agree, "Please hurry up, Mr. Wan."
Wan Yuanji took a shower in a hurry, and even washed his long hair.
"Bring me the baggage that I brought earlier."
Inside the baggage was a Ming Dynasty red python-riding robe with jade belt worth ten thousand yuan, which was given by Lu Jianguo as a special reward to him, the governor of Jiangxi.
Putting on the bright red jade belt that sat on a python, Wan Yuanji straightened his clothes in the mirror before taking a confident step away.
Jin Shenghuan was really at his wits end. Although he knew that Wang Zhai was far stronger than him, he thought that as long as he could win over Wang Zamao, he should not be afraid of Wang Zamao, not to mention that he had beheaded him first, but who knew that now
Still beaten like this.
Seeing that he was about to be beaten to the point of no retreat.
If Wang Tizhong hadn't been killed by Wang Zamao from the beginning, he might have lost this battle long ago.
"Wan Gong."
Jin Shenghuan, who was wearing cotton armor, saw that Wan Yuanji came out wearing an official robe of the Ming Dynasty, so he didn't care too much and hurried up to greet him.
"My lord, although the king's thief has been killed, Zhang Yutian and others are still agitating. My troops are outnumbered and are gradually dying. Please save me, my lord."
Wan Yuanji first understood the situation.
Then I immediately had an idea in my mind.
Obviously, it's not that Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren can't defeat the men in Wang Ti Zhong, but that although these two people have just joined forces to make Wang Ti Zhong, they are obviously still somewhat suspicious of each other, and they are still holding back and are unwilling to use their full strength for fear of themselves
He tried his best and then fought to the death, but in the end he was taken advantage of by the other party.
Just like Wang Deren said he was going to mobilize troops and horses from his headquarters, but it took two days to arrive. He had one thousand elite cavalry and five thousand infantry. If he led the cavalry first, it wouldn't have taken that long at all.
Obviously it also means to preserve strength.
Although Jin Shenghuan did not have as many soldiers and horses as Wang Ti, he was called the strongest among Zuo Liangyu's camps, and it was not for nothing.
They are not all good birds. They have reached this point and are still maintaining their strength.
Wan Yuanji saw through it but didn't say anything about it.
"The situation is critical. Hong Chengchou from Anqing and the elite Ten Thousand Eighth Banners from Luck Dehun are estimated to be approaching Jiujiang at this time. If we can't win a quick victory here, it will be over."
Jin Shenghuan was also very anxious. In these troubled times, he relied on the troops and horses in his hands. If the capital was gone, there would be no place to stay.
"Please also ask Wan Gong to teach me."
"Don't panic, this is the only plan for now. Why are you still hesitating about Du Zhen? Why not officially raise the banner of returning to the Ming Dynasty now, and then announce to the soldiers that Supervisor Zhang and Admiral Zhang's troops are coming. In this way,
It can stabilize the morale of our army and defeat the enemy's ambition."
Jin Shenghuan is still a little hesitant. Once he announces the truth, he will be completely tied to the Ming Dynasty. Now he and Zhang Yutian are still accusing each other of the transparent rebellion. As long as they can win, the winner will be the king and the loser will be the master of everything.
Easy to say.
"Jindu Town, in this situation, can you still go back?" Wan Yuanji asked.
Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren looked at each other, a little helpless.
They all somewhat underestimated the men and horses in the king's body.
Things have reached this point, if we don't raise the banner of fighting anyway, we may end up fighting here and lose both sides.
"Okay, raise the flag!"
Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren held a bright flag together. This was brought by Wan Yuanji with his official robe, as if they had expected it to be used.
"Anyway!"
Wan Yuanji wore a python robe and followed Jin Shenghuan and others on a tour of the army, identifying themselves to the soldiers standing guard in the streets.
"The Ming Jiangxi reinforcements have arrived."
Wan Yuanji, the governor of Jiangxi, has entered the city, with most of his troops behind him.
It has to be said that Jin Shenghuan's troops, who had been fighting for two days, were already a little unable to bear it. Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren had been holding back their most elite servants and did not invest in them. Their fatigue was already showing in the front.
Now Wan Yuanji shows up.
The bright flag is raised high.
It really boosted morale a lot.
"I think the King's troops are at the end of their strength. They used to rely on their energy to attack, but now this energy has been released. Now just ask General Wang to lead your thousand fine cavalry to attack directly from behind.
If the governor Zhang is in the sky, the enemy generals will be leaderless."
"Jindu Town has also sent out all your reserve teams. Now both sides are in a stalemate and are exhausted. Whoever works harder at this time will be able to overwhelm the other side."
Wan Yuanji's analysis is very reasonable. In fact, both Jin and Wang can see it, but they have always been holding back and are unwilling to send out the last elite easily.
Now that the flag has been raised, everyone will mobilize their troops as ordered.
Sure enough, when Wang Deren began to gather a thousand elite cavalry that had been raised for a long time to attack, the Qing army also noticed the changes here. Governor Zhang Yutian was sitting in the governor's yamen. After hearing that King Deren of Jin Shenghuan raised the bright flag, he
A worried look on his face.
When he heard that there was also a Ming Dynasty minister in red robe sitting on a python, who announced his identity as Wan Yuanji, the governor of Jiangxi, Zhang Yutian's expression changed drastically.
He has also heard of Wan Yuanji's name.
Zhang Yutian is a Han from Liaodong, but he never served as an official in the Ming Dynasty. He belongs to the kind of Han people who have always lived in the territory of Houjin. As early as the Chongde period, after Houjin opened the imperial examination, he took the exam and passed the exam.
He was a civil servant and later became an official. After entering the Pass in the Qing Dynasty, he was appointed as the Shandong branch to patrol Yandong and prepare troops for the road.
It was precisely because of his status as a Han official in Liaodong that he thought he was superior to others. After he came to Jiangxi, he was very disdainful towards Jin Shenghuan and Wang Tizhong, who were former bandits, and dared to ask for bribes from them so directly.
Zhang Yutian believed that his high status and reputation were superior to those of others.
But he had heard of Wan Tietou's name for a long time. At this time, Wan Yuanji appeared in Nanchang City. It was really possible that the Ming army had already arrived, or was about to arrive.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yutian, who was the most active in corruption and bribery, panicked. He dared to cause trouble in Jiangxi because he thought that the imperial court also looked down upon such thieves as King Jin, and as a minister, he had a transcendent status. But now it is clear that
If the army comes, then he will be useless as governor.
He is also a governor, but he has no confidence in front of Wan Yuanji.
At the moment, he didn't care about taking advantage of the situation to defeat the second general of Jin Wang. He quickly called his confidants and asked him to immediately pack up the money he had gained during this period and leave Nanchang immediately to escape.
As soon as he ran away, Inspector Dong Xuecheng immediately followed him.
Chief envoy Chi Bianlong and Hudong Taoist member Cheng Daye also ran away with oil on their feet.
However, Wang Deren had already expected it, and he led his cavalry to encircle and pursue them. Zhang Yutian and others were stopped and captured before they could run very far.
Zhang Yutian was escorted in front of Wan Yuanji, and he knelt down and begged for mercy.
"I was responsible for supervising the casting of red cannons, shotguns and other firearms in Liaodong. I know how to make cannons. I am willing to join the Ming Dynasty and cast cannons, blunderbuss, and gun carriages for the imperial court."
A group of officials all knelt down and kowtowed to surrender.
Wan Yuanji sneered disdainfully.
Finally, he reached out and helped them up, "If you are willing to submit to the imperial court, I will welcome you. Now it is up to you to go to the front and persuade all the people in the royal body to put down their weapons and submit to the Ming Dynasty."
In order to survive, Zhang Yutian, Dong Xuecheng and others were escorted with swords and guns to persuade them to surrender.
Originally, because of the rumors of the arrival of the Ming army, the various departments in the royal body were already a little shaken. After hearing that the governor and others had run away, the generals began to panic and were still hesitating whether to run away too.
As a result, now they are being escorted directly to surrender, so why are they fighting?
Lieutenants Xu Wencan, Tang Zhizhong, Liu Yipeng and other generals gathered together to discuss.
"It's better to surrender."
"It's okay to surrender. You have to negotiate the terms with Mingting first."
After a brief discussion, several people sent someone to see Wan Yuanji and put forward some conditions for accepting the surrender. For example, these soldiers could surrender to the Ming Dynasty, but they did not want to be merged into Jin Shenghuan or Wang Deren's tribe, and were willing to be directly led by Wan Yuanji.
In addition, they hope that after joining, they can retain their original titles.
The conditions are not too many, not even excessive.
Both Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren were very dissatisfied with the first article. They both wanted to annex these old departments in the royal body, but Wan Yuanji agreed with a smile.
He publicly stated that Jin Shenghuan was still the governor of Jiangxi, guerrilla Wang Deren was promoted to Jiujiang commander-in-chief, deputy general Xu Wencan was promoted to Nanchang commander-in-chief, and Tang Zhizhong and Liu Yipeng were promoted to deputy generals, governor of Jiangxi.
The remaining old parts of the royal body are retained with their original titles.
After receiving the guarantee, Xu Wencan and others took the lead in surrendering, and the three-day melee in Nanchang finally ended.
Less than 5,000 men and horses were killed on both sides, and the casualties were heavy.
Wang Ti, who was the strongest member of the Qing army in Jiangxi, was killed. Admiral Jin Shenghuan also lost 3,000 men and horses, and Wang Deren lost 2,000. However, with ten thousand yuan, one soldier and one soldier, he successfully entered the Jiangxi governor's office.
Wan Yuanji reorganized the troops in each battalion.
Admiral Jin Shenghuan joined the town of Nanchang and commanded five battalions with a total of 5,000 troops.
Wang Deren, the commander-in-chief of Jiujiang, also commanded the fifth battalion of Zhenbiao, with 5,000 soldiers.
Wan Yuanji's own Fubiao also had five battalions and five thousand soldiers, and Nanchang's general army also had five battalions and five thousand soldiers.
In fact, the various departments of the Qing army were reorganized into four departments, each with 5,000 men. Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren's department suffered a lot of losses, and their strength was insufficient, so they were supplemented by other departments.
We also eliminated some elderly, weak and disabled people.
In the end there were only 20,000 left.
Wang Deren moved to Jiujiang, and Wan Yuanji sent his deputy general Liu Yipeng to lead the third battalion of 2,000 people to station at Hukou near Jiujiang.
Xu Wencan, the commander-in-chief of Nanchang, was stationed in Jinxian.
Until this time, the Jiangxi Ming army was actually still far away in Ji'an.
It was at this time that Jiang Riguang was invited out of the yamen of the General Military Mansion.
A few days later, Zhang Guowei from Ji'an had not arrived yet.
In Raozhou Prefecture and Fuzhou Prefecture, the leaders of the anti-Qing rebels Wu Laiba, Sheng Mingshi, Guo Yingheng, Guo Yingquan and others came to lead their troops. Zhu Tongyu, the king of Ruichang and Zhu Ciyan, the king of Yongning, also came, and the former governor of Jiangxi, Hongguang
Kuang Zhao also rushed over.
The Thirteen Prefectures of Jiangxi were all recovered in one fell swoop!
Wan Yuan Ji ordered people to make a fortune-telling cloth and spread it to Huguang, Anhui, Guangdong and other places to inspire people!
