When the Ming Dynasty celebrated together, a unit set out from Nanjing and went up the river. Their destination was Anqing.

The number of people in this army was not large, only nearly a hundred, but the leader was Huang Chaoyun, the strong general in the army. As for the others, they were either his subordinates or personal soldiers who were traveling with him. Huang Chaoyun went to Anqing to replace Dong Dashan, and also carried other tasks.

In essence, the Ming Dynasty took Anqing to open a gap in Jiangbei. Anqing's geographical location is important, in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, but part of the Yangtze River stretching out from the south. Taking Anqing not only allows you to gain a foothold in Jiangbei, but more importantly, Anqing can go straight to Jiangxi to the west, and north to the north to the north, and can get support at any time to the east, which is also the main reason why Dong Dashan tried his best to win Anqing at that time.

After occupying Anqing, Dong Dashan launched defense on the spot. In the past two months, the entire Anqing City has been operated like an iron barrel. With the assistance of the Yangtze River Navy, the 100-mile area around Anqing has basically been wiped out. On the Qing army, its main force is still in Henan and Jiangxi, and the strength near Anqing is not strong.

Logically speaking, Dong Dashan could have used Anqing as a fulcrum to attack directly north, but considering the overall situation, Dong Dashan did not do this. After taking Anqing, he only acted in a defensive posture, which also made the Qing army feel a little relieved. Although the Ming army, who was guarding against Anqing, transferred some troops from Hebei, while the Ming army did not take the initiative to attack, the Qing army did not dare to act rashly.

"Sir, there is a big battle to fight this time, right?" Standing on the deck, Huang Chaoyun looked at the scenery on both sides of the strait and felt a little emotional. At the beginning, he was just a small righteous soldier, living a life of stagnation. Who knew that he was destroyed by the Qing court that day and his head fell to the ground.

But who expected that the world would change in just two or three years. After the Ningbo uprising was successful, Zhu Yicheng took everyone step by step to destroy the Fujian Navy first, then fight against the Qing army in Zhejiang, and then fight thousands of miles away, swallowing mountains and rivers, and taking over the territory of the three provinces in one fell swoop, restoring the Ming Dynasty.

The anti-Qing Dynasty and restoring Ming Dynasty, this slogan was shouted for more than half a century, but who would have thought that the Ming Dynasty would be truly revived in just a few years? Today's Ming Dynasty is like the rising sun. After taking Guangdong, the Ming Dynasty basically wiped out the southeast half. If there is no accident, the next goal is the Central Plains.

Hearing the question, Huang Chaoyun looked sideways and saw that the person coming was Zhu Yigui. This time he went to Anqing, Zhu Yigui was Huang Chaoyun's deputy general. Speaking of Zhu Yigui, he was really not a simple person. Last year, the Ming Dynasty won the Fujian Zhu Yigui in the Ming Dynasty, but he made a lot of efforts.

Zhu Yigui is not the original Zhu Yigui. After being summoned and beaten by Zhu Yicheng, Zhu Yigui was sent to Zhuang Yan's General Staff to study and exercise. He did not give him any position, but made a vague title.

Zhu Yigui did not dare to object to this arrangement at all. You should know that he had been arrogant and pretended to be a descendant of Zhu Meiya, the king of Rongshun of Jiaocheng. This matter had been known by Zhu Yicheng long ago, but Zhu Yicheng did not offend him, and even vaguely implied that Zhu Yigui might be a descendant of this royal family.

People speak differently. When people suffer from grievances, they jump and let the other party wait and see. This is just a joke for others. But it is not a joke to replace the people with powerful people.

Just like Zhu Yigui, who would take the previous boastfulness seriously without real evidence? But once it was confirmed by Zhu Yicheng, or just an attitude of not denying it, it would be completely different. This is the same as Liu Bei during the Three Kingdoms period. In order to increase his value, he always called himself the Emperor Gaozu. Emperor Xian then recognized him as the emperor's uncle to win over Liu Bei. Since then, Liu Bei has transformed into the real Uncle Liu.

Zhu Yigui's identity became special after meeting Zhu Yicheng. In addition, he was arranged by Zhu Yicheng to join the General Staff Department. Although he had no position, Zhu Yan took good care of him. Moreover, Zhu Yigui is very smart and tactful. Others don't know that Zhu Yigui is clear in his heart, so when he was in the General Staff Department, he never relied on his identity to suppress others. Instead, he worked diligently. Not only did he complete his work safely, but he was also very good at learning. In addition, his original talent in leading troops quickly stood out from a group of staff.

After half a year of training, Zhu Yigui transformed from a peasant revolutionary to a real soldier, or a qualified general. The name of the duck king is not for nothing. Zhu Yigui was able to make Lan Li and Nian Gengyao run away with the mob he pulled up, let alone after receiving systematic learning.

When Zhu Yicheng learned about Zhu Yigui's situation, Zhu Yicheng took time to learn about it, and then gave a question to evaluate Zhu Yigui himself. As Zhu Yan said, Zhu Yigui was indeed a talented general. Zhu Yicheng, who had put Zhu Yigui in the General Staff Department for training, decided to give this guy a chance, transfer Zhu Yigui from the General Staff Department and directly transferred Huang Chaoyun as deputy general.

This is also the reason why Zhu Yigui followed Huang Chaoyun with him. From the order to set off, Zhu Yigui didn't have much time and had not had much communication with Huang Chaoyun before, so he took the initiative to ask while taking the boat.

"Haha, how do you know there is a big battle to fight?" Huang Chaoyun looked at Zhu Yigui, and did not directly answer his question, but asked back.

Zhu Yigui smiled and said as usual: "Now Guangdong has been in the hands of our Ming Dynasty. The southeast half of the wall is basically wiped out, but the Central Plains area is still in chaos. At that time, our army fought Anqing to gain a foothold on the riverside and thus watched the situation in the Central Plains change. Now the emperor transferred General Dong back to Beijing and asked General Huang to take over Anqing. Although he was not talented, he did not work with General Huang, but he knew that General Huang was a general under the emperor and was famous for his fierce attacks. If the Ming Dynasty only aimed to defend Anqing, he would never let General Huang go to Anqing. Is it better to send General Yang who had just returned? Don't forget that General Yang is known as a wall of iron."

After hearing this, Huang Chaoyun was stunned at first, then burst into laughter. Originally, he thought that Zhu Yigui would analyze from all aspects, and even mentioned the situation in Henan and then make a judgment. But who would have thought that Zhu Yigui only mentioned the others, but mainly put the judgment target on himself. No wonder Zhu Yigui was well received by Zhuang Yan. He also heard that he was very talented in the Bing and was even known as the duck king. It seems that it is not simple.

"Have you arranged the house when you come out this time?" Huang Chaoyun didn't say yes or no, but just patted Zhu Yigui on the shoulder and asked.

Zhu Yigui nodded with a smile. Although he set out in a hurry, his home had already been arranged. Sun Xie... No! It should be Zhu Xie's now. Zhu Yigui did not forget his promise. After settling in Nanjing, he asked someone to take her over and specially used an eight-carrying sedan chair to marry her into the door.
