Huguang was in turmoil and the world was shaken.
Yuan Jixian, who was stationed in Jiangxi as the governor of four provinces, was even more worried.
He sent scouts to investigate and learned that a battle broke out not far from Jiujiang between the Qing army led by Azig and the Shun army led by Li Zicheng.
Li Zicheng's right-hand man Liu Zongmin was captured and killed, and the Shun army's vitality was severely damaged.
Li Zicheng then gave up and continued down the river, and instead led his army to bypass Qingpen Mountain and head towards Jiugong Mountain.
What surprised Yuan Jixian was that Zuo Liangyu's army, which led the army to evacuate from Wuchang first, did not advance along the river to Jiujiang, but stationed itself in Xingguo Prefecture, Huangzhou Prefecture.
It seemed that he wanted to wait for the Qing army and the Shun army to decide the victory.
Don’t make any plans again.
Not long ago, the imperial edict reached Jiujiang.
The emperor reminded Yuan Jixian that he must be careful of He Tengjiao and Zuo Liangyu, and that he must strictly guard the city and not leave, waiting for Huang De to lead his troops to assist.
There were not many troops in Jiujiang City.
Originally, Yuan Jixian relied most on his general Zhang Shixun.
This man commanded the two thousand armored soldiers of Governor Biao Camp and was Yuan Jixian's arm.
However, His Majesty the Emperor reminded Yuan Jixian in his imperial edict to also beware of this person.
This surprised Yuan Jixian.
If He Tengjiao and Zuo Liangyu colluded with each other to plot evil, it is certainly true that the emperor ordered him to be careful.
But Zhang Shixun was Yuan Jixian’s confidant.
Why should he be wary?
What makes Yuan Chengyi even more incomprehensible is how the emperor knew the name of a small governor-general.
The emperor has many things to deal with every day, and there are too many things to deal with.
It is impossible to remember everyone's names.
Among the civil servants, the cabinet ministers, ministers, governors and governors are worth remembering; among the military attachés, the commander-in-chief of each town is worthy of being remembered by the emperor.
Today's emperor is wise and powerful, and Yuan Jixian knows this.
But no matter how smart you are, you can't remember everyone's names.
Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor was worried about him, so he specially investigated his staff?
That doesn't make sense either.
If this is the case, His Majesty the Emperor should have directly sent the Imperial Guards to fetch the people instead of issuing an imperial edict telling him to pay attention to his generals.
Yuan Jixian couldn't figure it out.
But since the emperor reminded him, he naturally had to keep an eye on it.
Just in case that Zhang Shixun is really a white-eyed wolf, it's always better for him to prepare in advance.
Although Yuan Jixian did not directly deprive Zhang Shixun of his official position, he placed two generals around him to suppress him.
If there is any change in Zhang Shixun, Yuan Jixian will be able to know it immediately and make a timely response.
After doing all this, Yuan Jixian was still not at ease, and issued a governor's order to mobilize the Poyang Lake Navy to Jiujiang to block the river.
This navy was established by Yuan Jixian since he became the governor.
Although the size of the Poyang Lake Navy's hull is not as good as the Fu Chuan and Guang Chuan built by the Longjiang Shipyard.
But it is enough for use on the Yangtze River.
Warships that are too large are not easy to perform on the Yangtze River.
If Zuo Liangyu's army does not plan to attack Jiujiang but directly sails eastward by boat, Yuan Jixian can also send a navy to block it.
In any case, he was not prepared to let Zuo Liangyu's troops cross Jiujiang, because once they entered Anqing Mansion, they would directly threaten Nanjing and Shengjia.
Zuo Liangyu used the banner of Qingjun, but what he did was to commit rebellion.
Yuan Jixian will never allow Zuo Liangyu to threaten the safety of today's emperor.
If Zuo Liangyu wants to pass through Jiujiang Mansion, he must step over his Yuan Jixian's body "Father, something bad is going on" Zuo Mengeng hurried to Zuo Liangyu's tent and said anxiously: "Mutiny, the army mutinied."
When Zuo Liangyu heard the word mutiny, he stood up suddenly, gritted his teeth and said, "Which camp is it?"
There are thirty-six battalions under Zuo Liangyu's command, with a total of more than 200,000 people.
It is definitely impossible for so many people to mutiny, so Zuo Liangyu would ask this question.

Zuo Mengeng was shaking like chaff and stammered: "It's the Ma Jinzhong and Jin Shenghuan camps."
Zuo Liangyu took a deep breath after hearing this.
Ma Jinzhong's and Jin Shenghuan's battalions were both large camps, with more than 50,000 men and horses combined, and their strength should not be underestimated.
The most terrifying thing is that their combat effectiveness is also the most powerful among Zuo Liangyu's thirty-sixth battalion.
Even the personal barracks commanded by Zuo Liangyu's confidant Li Guoying could not compare with the Qin soldiers led by Ma and Jin in terms of combat ferocity.
But Zuo Liangyu really couldn't figure out why the two of them wanted to encourage the soldiers to rebel.
Although they are not Zuo Liangyu's direct descendants, Zuo Liangyu has never treated them badly.
At least they have a bowl of water on their faces.
As for the small actions in private, it is impossible for the two of them to know.
Zuo Liangyu's good mood disappeared, and his face became solemn.
The reason why he did not order a full-speed march after leaving Wuchang, but rested in Xingguo Prefecture, Huangzhou Prefecture, was to see the result of the battle between the Qing Army and the Shun Army, and to see if he could make some gains.
For Zuo Liangyu, the best result is that both the Qing army and the Shun army will suffer losses.
But Li Zicheng really failed to live up to his expectations, and was once again caught up and beaten by the Qing army, forcing him to flee to Jiugong Mountain.
Fortunately, Li Zicheng's hasty flight also attracted the pursuing Qing army away and made way for the Yangtze River waterway.
Zuo Liangyu did not dare to delay any longer, and was about to lead his army along Fushui into the Yangtze River and into Jiujiang, but unexpectedly a mutiny happened.
There are generally two types of mutiny, one is spontaneously organized by soldiers, and the other is secretly controlled by generals.
Zuo Liangyu didn't even have to think about it.
What he had on the stall was definitely the latter.
Jin Shenghuan and Ma Jinzhong must have wanted to take the opportunity to negotiate terms with him.
Huh, they really have two white-eyed wolves.
Zuo Liangyu felt resentful in his heart and clenched his fists tightly.
"Hmph, I don't believe in this evil."
After thinking about it for a while, Zuo Liangyu still felt that he could not give in.
He is the commander-in-chief of the first army, and now is an extraordinary period when he is leading his troops to clear the emperor's side.
His personal prestige must not be compromised.
Regardless of whether it is Ma Jinzhong or Jin Shenghuan, don't let him bow his head.
Seeing Zuo Liangyu's murderous look, Zuo Mengeng felt calm.
His father is his backbone, and he won't panic as long as his father is around.
"Father, do you want to discuss this matter with Governor He?"
Zuo Mengeng asked anxiously.
"Huh, he's just a wallflower.
Do you expect him to express his stance?"
I don't have much hope for He Tengjiao and Zuo Liangyu.
He Tengjiao was extremely hesitant when he launched his troops from Wuchang this time.
If Zuo Liangyu hadn't taken He Tengjiao with him with his tough attitude, it's hard to say what choice this person would have made.
Besides, a governor's attitude doesn't matter at this time.
If Zuo Liangyu wants to suppress the rebellion, the most important thing is to rely on the superiority of troops in his hands, rather than the words of some bullshit governor.
"Geng'er, serve my father and put on armor.
My father wants to see how much trouble those two little thieves can cause.
I'm not dead yet, and the 200,000-strong army in Chu Town still has the surname Zuo
