Jirgalang understood that Hong Chengchou only dared to take risks like this based on the following three conditions:

First, the troops in the entire side have an absolute advantage, and even if they divide the troops, they are not afraid of the enemy's counterattack.

If Jiujiang is quickly captured, 50,000 soldiers besiege Wuchang, 50,000 soldiers besiege Ganzhou, and then 50,000 soldiers are responsible for attacking aid, 50,000 soldiers can reach Guangzhou.

The troops are enough.

Second, Shi Lang’s navy must be transferred out, and he cannot stay on the South China Sea and rescue Guangzhou at any time;

Third, Guangzhou City must be taken down quickly. Because if it is delayed for a long time, the army of kings in various places will rush to Guangzhou without any chance. If the troops attacking Guangzhou are annihilated, the soldiers who besieged Ganzhou and Nanchang will die without a place to bury them.

To quickly take over Guangzhou City, you must have an internal support.

Judging from Hong Chengchou's meaning, he had already arranged some arrangements in Guangzhou City. In other words, he was ready.

In this case, there is only one condition that is not met now, that is, how to transfer Shi Lang's navy out.

"Heng Jiu, how do you use to transfer Shi Lang's navy?" Jirgalang asked.

"Prince, the slave's plan is to let the Denglai Navy go south along the coast and raid Li Chengdong's flanks. Li Chengdong will inevitably ask the court for help. At that time, Qian Qianyi can exert his influence and persuade Zhu Youlang to agree to Li Chengdong's request and transfer Shi Lang Navy to the north!"

"Wonderful! If Shi Lang arrives at the East China Sea and wants to go back to Guangzhou, it will be difficult. However, you must seize this opportunity well, not early or late. If it is early, leave enough time for Shi Lang to return; if it is late, if Zhu Youlang realizes that Guangzhou is threatened, he will never let Shi Lang go north."

"The prince is wise, the servant's plan is to order the Denglai Navy to act after besieging Nanchang."

"Okay, this is safer, so follow the plan."

...

What Hong Chengchou said about Jiujiang is just around the corner, but it is really not a prank.

After he received Qian Qianyi's intelligence, he had already sent five hundred soldiers to pretend to be a commoner into Jiujiang City. At that time, Jiujiang's garrison Wang Deren had not even returned to Jiujiang.

After these five hundred soldiers entered Jiujiang, they hid in the grain warehouse of a grain merchant.

The grain merchant had long secretly surrendered to the Qing army.

On the tenth day of September, the Qing soldiers began to attack Jiujiang fiercely.

The Ming army seized the city and defended the grenades, "gold juice", and bows and arrows all came in handy, and the battle was very fierce.

Wang Deren organized the people to transport ammunition and medicine to the city and carry the wounded to the city to treat the wounded. These five hundred Qing soldiers took the opportunity to join these people.

The Qing soldiers seized the opportunity and shouted, launching an attack behind the North Gate defenders. The Ming army was not prepared and was soon driven down to the city gate and the North Gate was trapped.

The Qing soldiers rushed in, but in desperation, Wang Deren and deputy general Song Kuiguang led their troops to escape from the south gate in a hurry and fled to Nanchang.

This battle lasted only five days, and only 10,000 soldiers fled back 3,000. The most important thing is that nearly 20,000 grenades and mines fell into the hands of the Qing soldiers!

...

When Jiujiang fell and Nanchang was surrounded, Zhu Youlang was furious.

The reason for his anger was not because the city was lost quickly, nor because the arms fell into the enemy, but because he saw traces of fine works again.

The main reason for defeat in this battle was the five hundred Qing soldiers who had already sneaked into Jiujiang City, which was obviously the first move set up by Hong Chengchou.

The defeat of Jiujiang once again proved that the Qing court must have done a meticulous move that penetrated into the high-level officials of the court.

"This spy must be found as soon as possible, otherwise, how can I fight this battle?" Zhu Youlang slapped Zhang Jiayu's memorial on the desk and made up his mind.

"Xuesong, I have issued an order for each army to remain in control of the troops for the time being, guard the city tightly, and clear the fine works quickly, and do not follow Xiangyang again, and follow Jiujiang!" Zhu Youlang said in his heart.

"Abide by the order!" Gu Yanwu agreed to retreat and draft the order.

"Xuan Chen Jitai, Dai Rufeng went to the hall." Zhu Youlang ordered again.

"Abide by the order!" Li Hong saw the emperor angry, even the sound of replying was cautious.

Zhu Youlang originally planned to adopt the strategy of "shocking the enemy" to make the insider appear.

For example, in front of Qian Qianyi and Lin Cha, he circulated an imperial edict involving strategic deployment and saw clearly whether the soldiers had responded quickly. If there were any, it means that the spy was one of the two. If there were no, then Ma Bao would be more suspicious.

Later, when I thought it was inappropriate, I could certainly achieve some of the goals, but I couldn't really identify who the spy was; if I came from it, it was a big deal to mobilize thousands of troops. It was not worth it to play such a big show to identify a spy; if I could dig out this spy, he wouldn't want to capture and kill him, and he would also want to use him to mobilize the Qing soldiers.

Therefore, after thinking about it, the plan to "shock the enemy" can only be abandoned.

"See the Emperor!"

Chen Jitai, after Dai Rufeng came to the hall, kowtowed.

"Look at this!"

Zhu Youlang was very angry and did not start to scream, but threw the Jiujiang battle report in front of the two of them.

Chen Jitai and Dai Rufeng picked it up and looked at it, both lowering their heads.

"Did you see it? Why are the Qing soldiers walking in front of our army step by step? More than 7,000 good soldiers, 20,000 grenades and mines, how much is this? Chen Jitai, what are you doing as a military intelligence officer?! What are you doing every day?" Zhu Youlang called Chen Jitai's name and scolded him in a scattered manner.

"Stop calling a title, not even a beloved minister. Nominated as a son-in-law, what son-in-law is this?" Chen Jitai said to himself.

Of course he understood where the emperor's fire came from, and he was venting his anger, and he was using the two of them as punching bags.

"Okay, curse, it's best not to speak up at this time and don't say anything."

Chen Jitai lay honestly on the ground without saying a word.

"Your Majesty, you can't blame Zhongyong for this matter?" Dai Rufeng heard the emperor scolding Chen Jitai, and wanted to defend him with loyalty.

When Chen Jitai heard this, he was amused: "Old Dai, you are loyal and stupid! What are you saying at this time? Yes, wait and be scolded."

Sure enough, as soon as Dai Rufeng finished speaking, Zhu Youlang's fire came to him: "Don't you blame him? You blame you? That's right, you are a very competent public security director, right? Ah? Even a small case cannot be solved, it's just a bag of wine! Can you do it? You can't do it? Go home as soon as possible to bring your children!"

Dai Rufeng was so angry when he heard this: "Where is this? When you go home and hug the child, what kind of child should you hold? Your father-in-law is so old, can you still have a child? You really can't say anything!"

"Emperor, Ma Jixiang is waiting outside the hall for an order to meet him. He said that he would meet him if there is an emergency."

Chen Jitai and Dai Rufeng were scolded like a thorn in the back. At this moment, Li Hong said in a low voice.

"It's also a waste! What urgent matters can he have? Xuan him into the palace!" Zhu Youlang cursed.

"Abide by the order!" Li Hong retreated carefully.
