In the Governor's Office, Governor Gali was meeting guests. When he heard that Li Xu and Cao Yin came, he hurriedly asked someone to invite them in. When he entered the front hall, he saw Governor Gali sitting next to him was General Ekxun of Jiangning. Next, he was the newly appointed governor of Jiangsu Zhang Boxing, the Jiangnan Admiral Shi Yide, the Langshan Town General Zhao Ang, and the Xuzhou Town General Qian Dachang...

When Li Xu and Cao Yin came in, everyone quickly stood up. Although their official positions were not high, their identities were extraordinary. They were close friends of the Kangxi sect in Jiangnan. Even the Governor Gali did not dare to neglect them even when they saw them. Seeing that the top figures of the civil and military officials in Jiangnan were present, Li Xu, who had never heard of the reinforcements, suddenly disappeared. It seemed that Gali was not without action, but had not been discussed completely.

According to his identity, Li Xu and Cao Yin were only slightly lower than Gali, Okxun, and Zhang Boxing, and should sit down at the head of the three of them. However, they were not polite in the military situation and took a seat next to Qian Dachang. When they just sat down, Zhang Boxing couldn't wait to ask Li Xu about the current situation in Suzhou. As the governor of Jiangsu, Zhang Boxing should have been in charge of the Suzhou yamen, but Zhang Boxing was originally ordered to take over Yu Huai to serve in Jiangsu, but who would have thought that as soon as he arrived in Jiangning, the news of Ningbo's rebel army attacking Su Song came. In order to urge Gali to send troops as soon as possible, Zhang Boxing stayed in Jiangning for the time being.

Li Xu and Zhang Boxing are not unfamiliar with him. Zhang Boxing had served as the Jiangsu Censorate before, and they had had many interactions with each other. When Zhang Boxing asked, Li Xu immediately told him what he knew one by one, and at the same time asked Gali to send troops as soon as possible to break Su Song's siege.

"Lai Chong, don't worry, I asked everyone to send troops to Su Song." Gali comforted her with a kind face. To be honest, the relationship between Galli, the governor, and Zhang Boxing was not good. When Zhang Boxing was appointed as the Jiangsu Censor, the two sides had a very unhappy relationship because of political views and ideas. As the governor, Gali often gave him small shoes. However, Zhang Boxing has never been soft and hard, and even directly sued Gali. For this, Gali was scolded by Kangxi in person. However, one time and another, now the rebel army is approaching, and Su Song's side is in crisis. Gali is also a rank of the imperial court, so it is clear that it is important and urgent.

"General Shi, please continue to talk." After saying that, Gali signalled to Shi Yide. It seemed that they were discussing this matter before Li Xu and Cao Yin came. Li Xu immediately raised his ears and listened to Shi Yide's speech.

Shi Yide cleared his throat and said, "My Green Camp has a total of 39,000 troops in Jiangnan, including 9,100 people in Langshan Town and 9,500 people in Xuzhou Town. My admiral and the governor have a total of 8,600 people. In addition, Susong Town has added 11,800 former Chongming defenders. If the 3,000 people in the navy are added, in terms of the number of people, there are 42,000 troops, which does not include the garrison of the Eight Banners..."

Speaking of this, Shi Yide glanced at everyone present, and everyone nodded slightly to express that they had no objection to this number.

Shi Yide continued: "From the total number of people, I have the advantage of Jiangnan, but it is not. Let's talk about Susong Town first. Among the three towns in Jiangnan, Susong Town has the most troops and is also the most capable of fighting. Unfortunately, Susong Town is now in western Zhejiang, and even if it is accelerated to be transferred back, it will take at least half a month. Chongming has fallen into the hands of Ningbo thieves, and the navy defeat in the Yangtze River battle, the ones that can be used now are Langshan Town, Xuzhou Town and I have direct command and supervised the bid. The total number of these people is only more than 27,000..."

"It's enough to have these 30,000 people. Although the Ningbo rebels are huge, they are a group of mobs after all. I hope that the division admiral will lead troops south as soon as possible to break the siege of Susong." Zhang Boxing said anxiously when he heard this. In his opinion, the combat power of the 30,000 Green Camp can resist 100,000 rebels. Now the rebels landing in Susong in Ningbo have only 10,000 or 20,000 people.

"Mr. Zhang, this war is not comparable to the head, and it cannot be calculated like this." Zhang Boxing's words made Shi Yide laugh and cry. Although Zhang Boxing is a famous capable official, he is just a civil servant after all, and he only has nine orifices for war. If the amount of troops is calculated only by the amount of troops, then the war in the world is too easy to fight.

Seeing Zhang Boxing's confused look on his face, Zhao Ang, the general of Langshan Town, who was standing by, explained a few words. Shi Yide said that, except for Susong Town, which is not present, the total force of the entire Jiangnan region is nearly 30,000. Don't forget that these forces are scattered throughout Jiangnan. Not to mention the others, the Langshan Town is located in Tongzhou, and it is separated from Susong by the Yangtze River. Now the Ningbo Navy defeated the Yangtze River Navy and directly blocked the estuary of the Yangtze River. In this way, if the troops in Langshan Town are to be mobilized, they have to cross the Yangtze River first.

When the estuary of the Yangtze River is blocked by the other party, it is not easy to cross the Yangtze River? You must take a detour and find a way to cross the river and then gather. It is impossible to go there for ten days and half a month. If there is an accident in the middle, it will be longer. As for Xuzhou Town, the same is true for Xuzhou Town, but Xuzhou Town is slightly better than Langshan Town, and some troops are stationed in the Jiangning area.

In addition, it is impossible for the Green Camp to mobilize all its troops in one breath. The Green Camp also takes on the important task of maintaining the local area. Once all the troops in Jiangbei are air conditioned, if the place is unstable, it will not be a fire in the backyard?

In this way, Jiangning can gather only the Jiangnan Admiral Headquarters and the Xuzhou Town. The two divisions have a total of more than 10,000 people. If we include the 6,000 people stationed in the Eight Banners in Jiangning, then the 20,000 people will be able to survive.

With 20,000 troops, Shi Yide was not worried if he was facing ordinary thieves, but now the one who attacked Su Song was the one in Ningbo. Although the two divisions of Yuan Qi and Zhu Jiancai were the most powerful, the Ningbo thieves were not very prominent when hiding in eastern Zhejiang. However, Shi Yide, who had specially studied the Ningbo rebels, knew in his heart that Ningbo rebels were far from comparable to Yuan Qi and Zhu Jiancai and other troops. If Yuan and Zhu's rebels were a veritable mob, then Ningbo's rebels could be regarded as a regular army, especially Shi Shipiao was defeated and died in Ningbo, which made people even more wary of the combat effectiveness of Ningbo rebels.

Furthermore, although the Yangtze River Navy was not as good as the former Fujian Navy, it was also one of the main navy of the Qing Dynasty. But who would have thought that the battle at the estuary of the Yangtze River was almost wiped out? Shi Yide specifically asked about the situation at that time. The defeated general of the Yangtze River Navy told him that the Ningbo Navy was definitely a strong army no less than the former Fujian Navy, and its artillery strength was even worse. Although the Yangtze River Navy was a little careless before the battle, the defeat was not unfair at all. If there was another battle, the Yangtze River Navy would still have a crushing defeat.

In addition, there is another key issue, whether it is Shi Yide, Zhao Ang or Qian Dachangdo, that is, the number of people in the Green Camp. That's right, the number of people Shi Yide just said is definitely correct from the list, but in fact, the situation of eating empty amounts in the Green Camp is inevitable. Although it is only in the early Qing Dynasty, it is not as good as the empty amounts in the late Qing Dynasty, but after the peace period is too long, the Green Camp is inevitably gradually corrupt like the Eight Banners at that time.

Judging from the vacancy situation, there are about 1.5% to 20% of the vacancy in Jiangnan. If calculated based on 20%, the number of people who can actually dispatch in the Green Camp will be even more 20% off. There are also the Eight Banners stationed. Judging from the numbers, there are 6,000 people in Jiangning, but anyone knows in his heart that half of these 6,000 people can be selected and put on the battlefield.

After listening to Zhao Ang's explanation, Zhang Boxing was silent for a moment, and suddenly stood up and said, "Governor General! Lord E! General General Zhao! General Zhao Town! General Qian Town..." He bowed to everyone and said, "Now Su Song is in crisis. Once Su Song is occupied by thieves, what will happen to Jiangning? So what will happen to this world? His lips are dead and his teeth are cold. For the sake of the Qing Dynasty and the people of the world, I would like to send troops to rescue Su Song as soon as possible! I, Zhang Boxing, will be willing to die!"

"Mr. Zhang, why bother? Are we discussing this?" Everyone quickly stood up to persuade them, but Zhang Boxing still saluted everyone deeply. After the salute, he got up and turned around and left.

"Mr. Zhang, where are you going?" Gali asked.

"I am the governor of Jiangsu, of course I am going to Suzhou. I am waiting for you to help in Suzhou!" Zhang Bo Xing said without looking back, then walked out of the front hall quickly in amazement, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Zhang Boxing's bad temper made Kaliqi's face turn red, but he couldn't say anything. After all, Zhang Boxing was right. He was the governor of Jiangsu, and the governor of Jiangsu was in Suzhou. From this point of view, there was no problem with Zhang Boxing going to Suzhou.

But the situation is different now. Ningbo rebels have landed in Susong, and the army is gathering, and Suzhou will soon become a place of war. At this time, Zhang Boxing, a Jiangsu governor who has not yet officially taken office, went to Suzhou first, which is equivalent to putting all the Gali and everyone present on the fire. Once Zhang Boxing has a problem, no one of them can escape.

"Governor General, Suzhou cannot be lost. Let's do this. I will take our troops and Xuzhou Town to go south first. The rest of the troops gather, and ask the Governor General General for more assistance. In addition, Governor Yin also asks the Governor General to urge the troops to return to Susong Town as soon as possible." Seeing Gali's face turned blue, Shi Yide suggested on the side.

At this time, General Ekxun, who had a transcendent status, also proposed to transfer 3,000 people from the Eight Banners to assist the admiral in the army to go south together. After everyone persuaded him, Gali returned to his peace.

"Is this Zhang Xiaoxian the only one who is a good official in the court? It's simply..." Galixian complained, and then said to everyone: "In this way, I'll ask all the generals. Without further ado, I'll ask the admiral to send troops as soon as possible."
