Changda gritted his teeth and said, "It's time to do it, and it's natural to make paper." Xu Changda lowered his voice a little: "The court is urging the green camps of various provinces to go to Hunan to rescue Changsha. Can we take this opportunity..." Xu Dachang did not continue and made a neck-cutting action.

Wang Zhijian trembled with his hands, picked up the teacup on the table, took a nervous sip of tea, calmed down and said, "This is not a solution, but this matter is of great importance. The court is probably about to send an imperial envoy. Since it is necessary to do it, it must act as soon as possible, otherwise once the stuff is exposed, you and I will die and never be buried."

Xu Changda nodded: "Sir is the governor of Jiangsu, in charge of government affairs of a province. The 40,000 green camps in Jiangsu are under the 40,000 green camps in Jiangsu. Looking at Jiangsu, no one can stop us. You can send someone to contact the Ming army in Fujian, and while summoning your confidants to prepare for the work. Shi Zhi will lead troops to Hunan. Then come to the forefront and keep the Ming army a complete victory. At that time, we will be the number one hero in the Battle of Jiangnan." Xu Changda originally did not expect this idea, but just followed the idea slowly. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this method was good, which could not only save his life, but also make military achievements for the new master. He would rely on it for the rest of his life.

Wang Zhijian's expression moved and said, "Just do it like this, the night is long and the dreams are too long. I will go to distribute the food and pay for the troops today. Brother Xu will go out of the city tomorrow."

Xu Changda nodded: "Okay, it's not too late, sir, let's prepare separately."

On the second day, the Jiangsu Green Camp, which rescued Changsha, quickly assembled and advanced along the Yangtze River to Changsha. At this time, the Green Camps of Jiangsu and Anhui Provinces also sent rescue sites to one after another. Half a month later, they met with the Green Camp in Hubei in Wuchang. At this time, the spring and summer were hot, especially the Wuchang City, which was like an iron furnace, with nearly 150,000 troops stationed outside Wuchang City. The generals of the four provinces brought their personal soldiers into the city.

Wuchang has been an important town in the south since ancient times. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the fief of the King of Chu was here, so it has been expanded on a large scale and has become one of the largest cities in the south. Merchants from Huizhou, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Jiangxi and other groups have come to operate, using salt, pawnshop, rice, wood, cotton, and medicinal materials, and have developed to a scale of twenty miles up and down. The main street starts from Hanzheng Street and goes down to Dikou (Siguan Hall). In the late Ming Dynasty, the three towns of Wuchang, Zhuxian Town, Jingde Town, and Foshan Town, were known as the "four famous towns" in the world, becoming the "first prosperous towns in Chu", and it is also a water and land transportation hub, enjoying the reputation of "the thoroughfare of nine provinces". The goods are piled up, residents fill, and merchants are radiating.

Its port trade and transportation industry is quite developed and is the most important port in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

After the fourth general entered the city, the Hubei Governor held a banquet at the Huanghe Tower. The four of them climbed to the attic together surrounded by a pair of personal soldiers. Officials of all sizes were welcomed here. Hubei Governor Kong Jingxiang personally went down the ranks to greet him. He was in charge of the province and was given the title of second-rank minister. It is logical that the four people have higher ranks, and personally welcomed him can be said to be full of face.

In fact, it is not that Kong Jingxiang has such a big belly. It’s just that the soldiers are now in danger of fighting. The Ming army besieged Changsha. Once Hunan is lost, Hubei will soon be lost. These four generals have become life-saving plants. How dare they put on airs?

We went to the top floor of the attic. The banquets were prepared for seven or eight tables. The group of people greeted each other lively, pressing the superiors and subordinates, and then sat down together. The four generals were the governor of Hubei, Kong Jingxiang, and several high-ranking officials from Hubei Province, sitting on the round table on the upper and lower floors. The others were all sitting at other tables.

Then the governor Kong Jingxiang began to toast. Several generals responded. The atmosphere began to climax. After pushing the cup, Kong Jingxiang finally couldn't help but speak. He was unsure. The Ming army had surrounded Changsha. Once Hunan was defeated, then Hubei would become a battlefield. It was so great. It was simply a pit of his heart. He finally curled up to a governor's position. He had been loyal to the position of a governor and had been doing so many years of despair. How could so many hard work days and nights be wasted?

"Kong doesn't know what military situation is. I don't know what the situation is now. I still have to ask for advice from you." Kong Jingxiang seemed extremely modest and wanted to be brothers with the other party. At this time, what is the most reliable? Of course, he is the general who holds military power. Only in front of these four generals, Kong Jingxiang felt a little more hearted.

The general of Hubei was Kong Jingxiang. Although the two of them were not in charge of each other, they looked up and saw each other. Therefore, he first said: "Don't worry, Lord Kong, there are only 100,000 troops in our four provinces. A total of 150,000 troops were stationed in Changsha City. We have many soldiers and a wide range of generals. Are we still afraid of the Ming army? Come... Come... Come... Come. Drinking is important."

Kong Jingxiang still felt worried. He knew that the general of Hubei had nothing but loves to drink and play with women and talk. Kong Jingxiang naturally would not trust such a person.

Zhejiang General Xu Dachang has been not talking at the banquet

He also drank very little, but at this time he said, "Don't worry, Governor, you're here." As soon as Xu Dachang finished speaking, the Anhui general continued, "Everyone, the Ming army surrounded Changsha but did not attack the city, and I don't know what the plan was. Moreover, the Ming army's successive high-pitched combat power should not be underestimated. Everyone should be careful. According to your wishes, how should we send troops and how should we save Changsha?"

The Hubei general was drunk and a little confused. He blew his beard and did not speak. The Jiangsu general on the other side was deep and silent. Xu Dachang said: "Changsha has been surrounded for nearly a month, and the food and grass in the city have probably been empty. We should break the siege quickly. Otherwise, once the Ming army attacks Changsha, the emperor will be unhappy and will be furious. No one can explain it. Xu said that we will send troops quickly tomorrow, but who will be the vanguard, who will be the central army, and who will come to the rear team should discuss it clearly."

The drunk Hubei general said with a gaze: "I am a vanguard, and every Hubei is a good man. It is best for Hubei brothers to be a vanguard. If you think I am a brother, no one is allowed to compete with me."

The Anhui general said: "The brother led his troops to the center to support him."

With the pioneer and the middle lane, the rest is to leave a general in the back team, and the other general also goes to the middle lane. The Jiangsu general still doesn't speak, and Xu Dachang doesn't say anything. The two stared at each other. Xu Dachang had made up his mind and must grab the position of the back team and contact the Ming army at that time. The Ming army is in front, and he leads the team behind to make dumplings. No one here can escape.

The Jiangsu general still spoke: "Since that's the case, let's go behind the palace."

Xu Dachang hurriedly said, "It's not appropriate, let's do it. Xu has been crazy recently. If he starts a mess at the moment, it doesn't matter if he can't do the job well, but how can he explain it to the emperor?"

Everyone thought Xu Dachang didn't dare to go to war, so he hid behind to help, and his face showed a look of contempt, especially the drunk Hubei general, who deliberately spitted thick phlegm into the ground.

Hubei Governor Kong Jingxiang was just not good at interrupting when several generals were discussing military affairs. Seeing that everyone had finished discussing, he quickly filled his wine glasses and said, "Come on, everyone gets up, I wish the generals a victory."

…………………………………………………………………………………………

The next day, the army outside Wuhan City had enough food and drink and set off, and rushed to the battlefield according to the established target, and left Xu Dachang, who was from Jiangsu Green Camp for 40,000, stayed at the end. Xu Dachang was not in a hurry. He first found a confidant and asked him to travel day and night to report the news under Changsha City. On the other side, he was preparing to carry out a major purge in the Green Camp.

There are a total of deputy generals in the entire Jiangsu Green Camp, the guerrilla chief guards, and the Thousand Generals commanded a total of 100 people and the Ninth Camp of the Third Association. Xu Dachang really trusts only the troops of the First Association and the Third Association. The deputy generals of this association are his brother-in-law, and they only come up with his promotion, so they are absolutely safe. As for the other Second Association and Sixth Battalions, they are all appointed by the imperial court. Although they are respectful to him and look devoted to him on weekdays, Xu Dachang dare not believe them at this moment.

The march was extremely slow along the way. Xu Dachang continued to test the loyalty of the various camps along the way. Unfortunately, he felt uneasy, so he made up his mind and decided to use a quick knife to cut the mess. He found a few confidants and asked them to spread rumors in the green camp that XX had eaten the brothers' blood and sweat and XX had greedy for the brothers' blood and sweat to take care of the concubine in the city. In fact, this was originally a very common thing in the green camp, but when it was said in the war, it immediately caused many people to be dissatisfied. The brothers exchanged their lives for money, and you sucked my blood, and wherever you put it was a matter of severing the sons and grandchildren. For a moment, there were discussions in the army and there were constant riots. At this time, Xu Dachang stood up and announced to everyone that each person would give an extra two taels of silver to reward each. As long as everyone could return to Zhejiang alive, they would be paid immediately, which aroused countless applauses.

Xu Dachang's family background was mediocre and he relied on his hard-working military achievements for the Manchus. He naturally understood the soldiers' ideas. If he wanted to tempt them, he could only achieve practical benefits. Otherwise, everything would be nonsense. Just when the soldiers praised him and were dissatisfied with the guerrilla warriors of the respective battalions, Xu Dachang saw that the time had come, and immediately promoted the tent to ask for the general. All hundreds of officers in the general were invited.

Just as the officers were hilarious and joking, hundreds of personal soldiers flocked out, surrounding them one by one. When they entered the camp, they had already unloaded their swords and were not the opponents of the personal soldiers. They surrendered in a few seconds.
