Chapter 315 of the main text of the Nanming No. 5: The Kuidong honors pointed at the thirteen families in Jiujiang and set out through Wuchang and headed straight to Jiujiang Prefecture along the river.

Due to the waterway, there is no need to worry about transportation along the way.

The Yangtze River channel is very wide, even the largest sand ship can pass through with full load.

Compared to Zheng Chenggong's approaching Shuojiang River, this route from the Thirteen Kuidong families is simply too comfortable.

The representative figures of Kuidong's honors in this navy fleet were basically all present, led by Duke Lin Guo Li Laiheng, Duke Jingguo Yuan Zongdi, Duke Wan Liu Tichun and others.

As for Hao Yaoqi, He Zhen and others, they stayed in Huguang under the order. It was not because they were not important, but because someone had to do the left-behind things.

After all, Huguang has just been conquered, and the rule of the Ming army is still unstable. If there were not many generals in charge, I would be very unsure.

The Ming army finally took it down from Huguang, so naturally it could not be thrown away easily.

Steady advancement with Huguang as the foundation is what the Ming Dynasty should do next.

"Little Tiger, Wujiaxue Town is ahead. After passing this place, it is the territory of Jiangxi."

On top of the flagship, Yuan Zongdi said in a high spirit.

Compared to a moment of thought, the situation of the Thirteen Kuidong families has undergone earth-shaking changes. At the time, they were trapped in Kuidong, and basically even had to buy food in the neighboring village, and their lives were very difficult.

Now that they have taken Huguang, they can be said to have no worries about food and drink with this granary in the world.

All this is of course due to His Majesty's wise and divine martial arts. If the emperor had not decided to fight the Eastern Expedition immediately, they would have been trapped in a corner of the east of Sichuan.

"I've arrived in Jiangxi, it's so fast."

In fact, Li Laiheng didn't expect it to be so soon. He left Wuchang Prefecture and walked down the river, passed Huangzhou Prefecture, and Xingguozhou even came to the boundary of Jiangxi.

In fact, the overall landform of Jiangxi is not much different from that of Huguang, at least that is what Li Laiheng thinks.

The Yangtze River will turn again in Jiujiang and then flow upwards into Nanzhili through Anqing Prefecture.

"The task given to us by His Majesty Little Tiger is to take down Jiujiang and seize control of the Yangtze River along the Yangtze River. So we should have a tough battle right away."

Liu Tichun was a relatively pragmatic person. In his opinion, it was impossible for the Qing army to send heavy troops to guard such an important town as Jiujiang.

Although they have rich experience in water battles, they were together with the King of Jin and the Emperor when fighting Huguang, and many tough battles were broken by the Emperor.

Now that they need to stand up and stand on their own, Liu Tichun is really a little confused.

"As far as I know, Jiujiang Prefecture is not only an important ferry crossing in the Yangtze River, but also a Leichi to the north and a Poyang Lake to the south. It can be said to be the connection point between the north and south water systems. The Poyang Lake Navy is also very powerful."

"What are you afraid of? The Dongting Lake navy is also very fierce. Isn't you beat me up by the little tiger? You're so beaten up?"

Yuan Zongdi has really developed confidence now and has nothing to do with it.

"Ahem, Uncle Yuan, I mean we have to be careful of the ambushing the Tartars in Nanhuzu."

Li Laiheng said clearly, "It's better to be careful, the Tartars will definitely set up an ambush here."

Liu Xingming, who had been holding back, scratched his head and said, "In my opinion, it's better to send a hot air balloon to investigate and see how the Tartars made the defense. The military book says, knowing yourself and your enemy will win every battle."

"Hehe, you guy is addicted to hot air balloons now, right?"

Yuan Zongdi urged him.

"Old brother, don't urge him. He really made me worry."

Liu Tichun said helplessly when he heard this.

"Dad, don't worry. I've been using hot air balloons once or twice. I've had experience for a long time. I'll go to Jiujiang City to take a look and make sure I won't cause you any trouble."

Liu Xingming said as he went.

“That won’t work either.”

Liu Tichun said with a stern face: "Let's just go down the river and fight. Can't you win the battle without you? Don't you show off here?"

Seeing this, Liu Xingming had to droop his head.

Alas, it would be great if His Majesty the Emperor was here, and the emperor would definitely agree to let him fly a hot air balloon to investigate.

Now that the emperor is not here, his father's order is hard to disobey. He is really going to be suffocated to death.

Finally, Liu Xingming looked at Li Laiheng.

Li Laiheng has always been the person who recommended the thirteen Kuidong families. This time, the emperor ordered Li Laiheng to lead the army again.

If Li Laiheng bar spoke for him, there might be a glimmer of chance.

Li Laiheng seemed to think that Liu Tichun was too domineering, so he cleared his throat and said, "Uncle Liu, I also think it's okay to go Xingming to investigate."

He is actually not much older than Liu Xingming, and he often jokes together in daily life, so he naturally stands on Liu Xingming's side.

"Um?"

Liu Tichun raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

"Little Tiger, do you think this kid should let the fool of himself?"

"Ahem, Uncle Liu is so serious. How can we say that Xingming is a nonsense? Didn't he also want to help us spy on the information? Besides, you have seen the effect of the hot air balloon, which is quite good. I think he can try it."

Li Laiheng said this to this point, and it would be a bit unreasonable if Liu Tichun didn't agree.

Although Liu Tichun is Li Laiheng's elder by generation, Li Laiheng is his superior after all, so he can't rely on his seniority to force Li Laiheng to suppress Li Laiheng.

After thinking about it over and over again, Liu Tichun finally let go: "Okay, but there is one thing I have to say in front. After spying on the information, you will come back immediately. Don't cause trouble."

Liu Xingming was extremely excited and patted his chest and promised, "Dad, don't worry, I will definitely come back in a hurry."

After saying that, he turned to Li Laiheng to thank him.

Liu Xingming was impatient and immediately asked people to prepare for hot air balloons.

Liu Tichun smiled helplessly and said, "Look at this child, it doesn't seem like a worry-free place."

Yuan Zongdi stroked his beard and smiled, "Old brother, just let him go. Xingming looks like a promising person."

Liu Tichun sighed, "I hope so."

"Look, two uncles, why are there so many corpses on the river?"

Li Laiheng seemed to have suddenly discovered something and exclaimed suddenly.

Yuan Zongdi and Liu Tichun looked over and found many corpses on the river.

These corpses should have flowed down along the tributary of Fushui and gathered on the Xunyang River.

"The source of Fushui is in Tongshan. Could it be that something happened in Tongshan?"

Although Tongshan is within Huguang, it is separated from Nanchang Prefecture.

This mountain is nothing else, it is Jiugong Mountain.

Yuan Zongdi, Liu Tichun and others are very familiar with Jiugongshan.

The King of Chuang was trapped in Jiugong Mountain.

"Is something really happening? Let's send some whistleblowers to inquire."

After thinking about it for a while, Li Laiheng still said in a deep voice.
