Lord of Ming Dynasty

Du Ge followed Zhang Qiang to conquer the world from the very beginning, and he also had contact with Tian Bin before. He knew Zhang Qiang's hatred for this guy without anyone explaining.

He stroked his chin and said, "This guy is an unbeatable field mouse. He has repeatedly troubled us and is as slippery as a loach. What a headache."

"Even if he has a headache again, I will make him ashes." Zhang Qiang slapped his palm on the table angrily.

Zhu Dayou lowered his head, "My lord, I thought we had already killed him at the gate of the matchlock gun, but your new guard captain swore that he was dead, and even showed me a human head. , he still ran away, this is my responsibility."

"It's none of your business, prefect Gu Yuesheng." Zhang Qiang shouted.

"grown ups,"

Gu Yuesheng stood up, looking like a scholar of the Ming Dynasty, "Go and tell Counselor Zhou, send me someone to inform the Qing army guard there, and hand him over to me. If he doesn't hand over, I will send someone Go find it yourself, if he doesn't see it, send someone to find him immediately, and then bring it to me, otherwise, I will let him go back there from where."

Hearing Zhang Qiang's words, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. This man is not your subordinate, and he is even your enemy. How can you give orders to him?

"Go, go now, I have endured the Qing army's Tartars for long enough, this time they cooperated with the Dutch and the Portuguese, if they hadn't given orders to grant official positions, those Ming pirates would have ignored us, relying on the Dutch Give a little money, give some promises, they will not work so hard, what they want is to recruit security, to be an official, now everyone can see that the Qing army is powerful, and the Southern Ming court is lingering, so they believe that the Qing army will take the world, Therefore, an official in the Qing army is easier to sell than an official in Nanming."

Zhang Qiang started to calm down as he spoke in anger.

There is no way, an angry tone cannot be used to explain things. Most people must explain things in a long-winded speech, and a long-winded speech is necessary. The angry tone cannot be sustained. If it lasts for a long time, it is estimated that Zhang Qiang's cerebral blood vessels should burst.

"Why did I say to send someone to inform the generals of the Qing army there, because they have been scared by us, why have they not attacked us for so long, they are not ready, our territory is still small, although our strength is not small, But Nanming who is going to be destroyed, our reputation has not yet reached the point where people in the entire land of the original Ming Dynasty know, even fear us, and weigh our strength. People still pay attention to the orthodox blood of the Zhu family in Nanming, because Zhu The emperor who has been in the family for hundreds of years has a deeper influence than us, and some people in Ming Dynasty will still go to Daming and respond to Daming's call."

Everyone nodded. If Zhang Qiang didn't say anything like this, they would understand, and they also had this idea in their hearts.

It's just that the Jinhua Rebel Army gave them benefits, gave them official positions, and promoted them from ordinary people to high positions, so now they are very satisfied and loyal to Zhang Qiang. In addition, Zhang Qiang's troops are controlled by elite soldiers trained by Zhang Qiang. It is just that they can lead the troops to fight against the Qing army and the enemies who oppose Zhang Qiang, but if they want to lead the troops to serve Daming, to join the Qing army and seek their own official positions, they are not yet able to achieve that kind of ability, even their The guards were all sent by Zhang Qiang.

If they rebel, the guards will be able to relieve them of their posts and tie them up and send them to Zhang Qiang.

Although there are also soldiers trained by them and recruited by them, those people are useless. Most of the soldiers are still elite soldiers trained by Zhang Qiang. Therefore, they cannot take away the troops, so they have no value, no value, if They would not do that just to disgust Zhang Qiang.

After receiving Zhang Qiang's order, Wei Wuji immediately led [-] cavalry, [-] archers, and [-] musketeers, mobilized [-] militiamen, and [-] prisoners from Jinhua Mansion, and entered the Qing army's territory from Yiwu County.

Follow the clues left by the intelligence personnel and scouts tracking Tian Bin.

Tian Bin was very cunning, and he specially drilled into the mountains, so Wei Wuji didn't take the main road, just hung so far away, marching unsteadily.

Mi Chun sent a garrison battalion to transport supplies to them.

And the Qing army guard far away in Shaoxing Mansion is Sukesaha, an official Jurchen.

He would not accept Zhang Qiang's rude request.

Without reading the letter or summoning the envoy of the Jinhua Rebel Army, he directly ordered the guards to push the envoy out and behead him.

After the spies outside Shaoxing Mansion saw it, they reported the situation to Wei Wuji. Wei Wuji just smiled and continued to march.

In fact, Tian Bin didn't run very far, he was not even as fast as the envoy of the Jinhua Rebel Army. He turned around in the mountains, got rid of the tracking of the Jinhua Rebel Army spies, and entered Zhuji County, the county seat.

In the county seat, he took out his seal that he used to serve as a general of the Qing army, and with a few escaped pirates, he reported his actions to the Zhuji County defenders and magistrate.

After the Qing army figured out his origin, they reported the situation to Sukesaha, the guard of Shaoxing Mansion.

Suksaha was at a loss, he didn't know about this situation at all, so he sent someone to Nanjing to report.

But Hong Chengchou in Nanjing knew about this matter. He was the one who contacted the Dutch. In the past, the Dutch and Portuguese cooperated with them. In the second coastal attack last time, they sent people to cooperate with the Dutch and Portuguese. Waiting for the news, after all, there will be news from the sea, and there is still no accurate news for a while.

The navy of the Qing army did not have much combat power. The entire southeast coast was blocked by Zheng Chenggong. There was King Lu's forces in Ningbo, and the navy of King Lu's forces were also stronger than the navy of the Qing army. The Qing army was only powerful on land.

Therefore, it has been a week since the information was transmitted, and they don't know what happened to the Dutch and Portuguese fighting with the Jinhua rebels.

Although the Qing court is now mainly attacking the Yongli and Nanming courts, in addition to infiltration and small-scale frictional battles for the Longwu court, they still regard the Jinhua rebel army, the rebel army that has caused them heavy losses, and the lackeys of the Longwu court. Lord, find trouble to hold them back.

The Qing army is still unable to move.

Only those remnants of the Qing army that were defeated by Zhang Qiang and those generals are still deploying defenses around the territory of the Jinhua Rebel Army, recovering their strength, and constantly increasing their troops. According to Hong Chengchou's calculations, if there is no sufficient force, there will be no Qing army. The main force, mainly the Jurchens, came over. Facing the capable Jinhua Rebel Army, they had no chance of winning.

So at this moment, there are quite a few troops in Nanjing, but they are still dominated by the green battalion and the former Han army flag, and the surrendered officers and soldiers of the Ming army. To deal with the forces of the King of Lu, the guys led by civilian officials are still good, but facing the Jinhua rebels, they can only Keep Nanjing intact, relying on the walls of Nanjing City to stop the Jinhua Rebels' army.

If he attacked, he might be powerless, which is why Hong Chengchou planned to assassinate Zhang Qiang.

Yes, this is an operation planned by Hong Chengchou and carried out by the Dutch and Portuguese, the Ming pirates.

Chapter 193: Chasing the Murder [-]

It should be said that there are still many green battalion garrisons in Zhuji County.

In any case, this place is also facing the Jinhua Mansion, the forefront of the Jinhua Rebel Army territory.

But there are unpredictable things in the sky, and people have misfortunes and blessings. Just two days ago, Zhang Huangyan and Lu Zhenfei, two civil servants under King Lu, launched an attack on Ningbo Mansion again. The Qing soldiers sent to Ningbo Mansion were unable to resist. They retreated to Ningbo Mansion one after another.

And Ningbo Prefecture is also facing the same situation as Shaoxing Prefecture. Their main energy is to defend against the strong Jinhua Rebel Army. Therefore, most of their troops are still deployed in important places such as counties and villages bordering Sanmen County and Tiantai County. King Lu's force, which attacked from several directions, broke through many places like a broken bamboo.

The [-] Nanming officers and soldiers from Zhu Yihai, the governor of Lu, interspersed in these gaps, made roundabouts, and surrounded Ningbo Fufu City in one fell swoop.

Sweeping away the decadence of the previous days, not only regained many counties, but also divided the Qing army in Ningbo Prefecture into one by one.

Ningbo Mansion asked for help three times a day and handed them to Shaoxing Mansion, and Shaoxing Mansion had to send troops to rescue Ningbo Mansion.

If Ningbo Mansion is lost, the Qing army will soon lose the entire Zhejiang Province, which is not good for the Qing army.

As a result, the troops near Zhuji County, where the enemy's situation was stable, were withdrawn, and only the [-] green battalion troops in the city were left to defend.

From the starting point of the mission, the Jinhua Rebel Army crossed mountains and ridges, and when they appeared directly in Zhuji County, Tian Bin was still in the hotel waiting for the green battalion guard to reply to him.

The green battalion garrison had fought He Jin's peasant uprising army before, and he also knew Tian Bin, so he accepted him and reported him to Shaoxing Mansion, Shaoxing Mansion to Hangzhou Mansion, and Hangzhou Mansion to Nanjing Dahong Chengchou.

But in this day and age, it takes days to get a reply.

So when the Jinhua Rebel Army appeared under the city, the green battalion guards were dumbfounded.

Relying on this thousand green battalion, it is impossible for him to hold the county seat.

When tremblingly climbed up the city wall, Wei Wuji's brigade had already laid down their positions at the foot of the city.

In the past two years, the Qing army has advanced triumphantly in other places. Except for the so-called Dashun army that can withstand the Qing army's advance, most of the so-called Nanming army has little combat effectiveness, or most of the combat-capable troops were killed by a group of civil servants. Even the emperor They all fled again and again, and this made Daming quickly lose the hearts of the people. If it weren't for the barbaric practice of breaking the backbone of the nation like keeping their hair on their heads, perhaps, Daming would have become the Qing Dynasty.

But this is other places. The Qing army in Zhejiang Province did not have this treatment. Fujian Province, um, let alone, it is also the site of the Jinhua Rebel Army. Yes, most people admit this fact. Although it belongs to the Longwu court Now, but what people are most afraid of is the Jinhua Rebel Army, and there have been two fights against the Jinhua Rebel Army, the Zhuji county guard who fought tens of thousands of people with tens of thousands of people. When he heard about the Jinhua Rebel Army, he was frightened and wanted It's not that he has no ability, it doesn't matter, he has already stayed away from this place.

But the more he was afraid of something, the closer he was to him, he was sent to garrison at the border with the Jinhua Rebel Army. If there were still tens of thousands of people here, and there were still 1 Qing soldiers, he would not have to do this I'm afraid, there are Qing soldiers anyway, but now he has a battalion of thousands of people, guarding against the Jinhua Rebels, and the Jinhua Rebels came just at this time.

He wanted to die, but no matter how he thought about it, he didn't dare to escape. If he abandoned the city and fled without resisting, the Qing army would have his head chopped off when he returned.

"Your Excellency," his confidant also stammered, not because his confidant stuttered, but because he was also frightened by the Jinhua Rebels.

"What, what's going on?" Zhuji County Guard asked.

"My lord, my lord, yes, there are more than 1 people, all of whom are regular soldiers of the Jinhua Rebel Army. I'm afraid, I'm afraid, those who come this time are not good." The confidant said.
