Jiangxi, Nanchang Prefecture Nanpu Station.
Jiang He, the general of the third town, and Li Zhicui, the political envoy of Jiangxi, led a group of civil and military personnel to wait at the post station for a long time, but there was no news of the arrival of His Royal Highness Jianguo.
Li Zhicui couldn't sit still, and the news from Guangdong said that Jianguo would arrive in Nanchang this morning, and after resting in the city for the night, he would set off for Jiujiang and then take the Yangtze River waterway to Nandu.
But I waited for most of the day, but the prison country was delayed, which couldn't help but make Li Zhicui a little worried, whether something happened on the road.
It has only been more than two months since the recovery of Jiangxi, and there are still many Qing army stragglers and bandits in the territory, and the water bandits on Poyang Lake have not been cleared up.
Worried, Li Zhicui asked Jiang He to send a team of soldiers to meet the prison and his party, and Jiang He immediately agreed, and ordered Zhao Dabiao, the captain of the personal guard, to lead the cavalry of the town to respond.
This Zhao Dabiao was originally a farmer in Xiangshan, and his ancestors made a living by striking iron for generations, and he was the 12th generation in his generation.
It is said that Zhao Dabiao's ancestor was a great official who fled from Fujian with Emperor Duanzong of the Southern Song Dynasty, and after the first battle of Yashan, his ancestor and more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians threw themselves into the sea and martyred the country.
When he threw himself into the sea, he was reluctant to let his grandson, who was only a few years old, die with him, so he asked someone to take him away.
Later, this grandson went to Xiangshan with those descendants of the Southern Song Dynasty royal family, and also changed his surname to Zhao, and since then there has been Zhao Dabiao.
When the Qing army in Guangzhou marched to Xiangshan to encircle and suppress the Taiping army, they slaughtered every town along the way, and killed the village when they saw it.
Zhao Dabiao fled south with his mother and fellow villagers, and was found by the Qing army twice on the way, and many people died.
In the end, Zhao Dabiao's mother and a group of old women in order not to drag down the young people, in order to allow their children and grandchildren to live, they collectively touched the forest and hanged themselves one night.
After crying and burying his mother, Zhao Dabiao wiped away his tears, took his wife and fellow villagers to continue to flee, and was finally rescued by the Taiping Army under Jiang He.
Because he is a blacksmith and has brute strength, he was promoted to a personal guard by Jiang He after making two merits, and now he is the captain of the hundred town guards.
However, his wife and children still live in Xiangshan's hometown to farm for a living, the county wants to give the Zhao family a house in Xiangshan City, but Zhao Dabiao refuses to ask, once drunk and told people that there will be no war in the future, he will disarm and return to his hometown, and take his wife to open up the wasteland in the forest where his mother is buried, and bury it after his death.
After Zhou Shixiang led his troops to attack Nanjing, the government affairs of Jiangxi were handed over to Li Zhicui, and the military affairs were handed over to Jiang He.
Jiang and the C Brigade of the Third Town and the First Town went to the Southern Capital together, and at the moment he only had two brigades A and B, as well as a battalion of cavalry, and less than 5,000 soldiers and horses.
However, in addition, 20 battalions of Jiangxi security troops were formed, with 500 people in each battalion, all of whom were surrendered from the original Jiangxi Green Battalion and the volunteers and bandits who were recruited.
The A Brigade was stationed in Jiujiang, the B Brigade was in Nanchang, and the Ganzhou side combined the six battalions into an independent brigade, with Jiang He's old subordinate Sun Qiao serving as the brigade school.
The rest of the battalions were stationed in various prefectures, prefectures, and geographically important checkpoints, and were all under the command of the political envoy and the yamen, for the needs of local law and order and the suppression of bandits.
Although Zhou Shixiang did not confer Jiang He as the governor of Jiangxi as Shao Jiugong and Zhao Sihai as the governor of Hunan, and did not clearly designate Jiang He to be in charge of Jiangxi's military and political affairs when he left, Li Zhicui knew that Jiang He was an old man who worked hard with Zhou Shixiang back then, and his status in the Taiping Army was very high, so he was the only one who looked forward to everything, and gave up the power of government affairs, making Jiang He a governor who was not a governor, and in Jiangxi, he was a veritable overlord.
Seeing that Li Zhicui was still worried, Jiang He smiled and comforted him a few words, and said: "Don't worry, Lord Li, the prison has the protection of the pro-army, and the pro-army commander Zhou Baoguo was originally my subordinate, and he was steady, and the pro-army gang were all my sons, and they couldn't do anything with them."
After a pause, he said, "Maybe there is something delayed on the road, and it's too late." ” Jiang He is telling the truth, the Jinyi pro-army was originally the C Brigade of his third town, and the pro-army commander Zhou Baoguo's old surname was Guerjia, and Manchuria's name was Anghaba.
On the same day, Zhou Baoguo and Suna sawed Tayinbu together and surrendered, and they were divided under Jiang He's men.
He was very brave in the battle, and he didn't want to die, so he was very respected by Jiang Hexin, and he was promoted from a small general flag to a brigade school member all the way.
Later, the C Brigade was directly transferred by the marshal and reassigned to the pro-army, which was separated from Jiang He's command.
Now the C Brigade of the Third Town was temporarily formed after the capture of Ganzhou, and Qiu Guoliang of the brigade school and Li Li, the blind man next to the big marshal, are brothers.
Hearing Commander Jiang say this, Li Zhicui settled down a little.
In the past two months, under the command of Jiang He, the Taiping army has basically eliminated the bandits near the important towns on the official road, and the rest are small groups of stragglers and bandits who have fled to the mountains, and they dare not attack His Royal Highness Jianguo, who is escorted by thousands of Taiping troops.
The water bandits in Poyang Lake are very powerful, with more than 10,000 people, but they are also active around Poyang Lake, and they dare not stay away easily.
Moreover, they didn't know that the prison country was coming to Jiangxi, so they could basically rule out the danger of them attacking the prison country.
Thinking about the delay in coming, when there is a delay on the road, maybe it will arrive in a while, Li Zhicui thought.
After roughly passing a pillar of incense, he heard the sound of hooves from a distance, and Li Zhicui was overjoyed, only to say that the prison country came.
No, it wasn't the prison team that came, but Zhao Dabiao, who was sent to answer just now.
Zhao Dabiao turned over and dismounted, bringing news that the prison team did not take the road of Nanpu Station, but turned east on the side of Wuyang Station and walked to the road of Raozhou Mansion.
"This" Li Zhicui stayed there, not understanding how the prison country passed through Nanchang and did not arrive, so he went directly to Raozhou.
Jiang He's meeting was the opposite of the calm just now, he wanted to ask Zhao Dabiao something, but because Li Zhicui was there, he couldn't say it clearly, so he had to stare at Zhao Dabiao.
Fortunately, Zhao Dabiao understood what the commander was going to ask, and he shook his head.
Seeing this, Jiang Heda was disappointed, but he couldn't show anything on his face, so he had to pretend to be surprised, not knowing why the prison country left in such a hurry.
"Xu is the prison country, and the heart is the southern capital."
Li Zhicui didn't have much guessing, so he could only explain that the prison country did not come to Nanchang and went straight to Raozhou because the prison country was in a hurry to go to Nanjing to climb the treasure.
Thinking like this, it also makes sense, the emperor's throne, who doesn't want to sit in a hurry.
Since the prison state did not come to Nanchang, it would be no longer interesting for the officials who greeted him to wait, and Li Zhicui wanted the officials to go back immediately.
This side was about to leave, and another urgent envoy came, but it was a member of the military marshal's mansion who came directly from Nanjing.

As soon as the envoy arrived, he went to Jiang He, and after giving a military salute, he handed over an urgent order to Jiang He.
"Commander Jiang, the commander has an order, let you go to Nanjing immediately" oshow7 t1706231537:
