Fan Shaozu shuddered all over, turned around and ran away.

Chapter 84 The People of Lu Jianguo

The infantry entangled, the archers harassed, the firecrackers harvested heads behind, the cavalry and the cavalry faced off tragically, and the enemy's main general ran away.

As a result, the enemy's central army became disorganized, dispersed, and fled.

Zhang Qiang took the remaining [-] cavalry and chased them around, and the enemies fled all over the mountains and plains.

Because of the collapse of the enemy's main battlefield, [-] Qing troops were defeated, and the Qing troops in other battlefields scrambled to escape. The west of Taizhou Fucheng and the west bank of Lingjiang River became the world of Jinhua rebels.

The work of chasing, hunting, and capturing the enemy lasted at least three days and nights.

But Zhang Qiang was lying in the camp surrounded by a group of old Chinese doctors. He had at least 30 wounds on his body, and his injuries were serious.

After three days of emergency rescue, Zhang Qiang finally came back to life after the victory was settled. He gritted his teeth and returned to the camp. He summoned Xuanyuan Longfei, explained the matter, and then fell headfirst into the camp and passed out.

Open your eyes, vision from blurry to clear.

"Du Ge, Xuanyuan Longfei, Zhao Siyang, He Jin, Lin Chengcheng, Chen Hanhui, Zhou Porridge, and a few people I don't know. They seem to be the new rebel generals."

They all looked at him on the hospital bed with concern.

"My lord, you are finally awake."

Zhou Porridge ran over excitedly and held Zhang Qiang's hand.

"How is the war going?" Zhang Qiang was very concerned about the situation of the battle.

Zhou Porridge smiled and said: "My lord, the Qing army was defeated, and we defeated them. In this battle alone, more than [-] Qing soldiers were killed, more than [-] were captured, and more than [-] Qing soldiers fled back to Taizhou." and Linhai County."

"What about our loss?" Zhang Qiang asked.

Zhou Porridge held Zhang Qiang's hand, "Our army also suffered heavy losses. Our army killed 900 people and injured more than 3000 people. In addition, the rebel army killed more than [-] people and injured more than [-] people. Other battlefield casualties More than [-] people, both losers."

Zhang Qiang smiled, "It's nothing, don't forget, we still have prisoners, we can quickly restore our troops."

Zhou Congee said: "It's just that the gap in the loss of the elite is huge."

Zhang Qiang patted his hand, "It doesn't matter. After this battle, the enemy dare not come to us again. In the battle of Jinhua, the enemy lost tens of thousands of people. Ruan Dacheng besieged Jinhua and lost more than 1 people. He fought us and lost another 6 people." [-] people, this time, they lost at least [-] people, and their strength is not unlimited, at least we can have a stable development period for a period of time, enough for us to form more troops."

Zhang Qiang looked at Xuanyuan Longfei, "Longfei, immediately pick people from the captives and expand your army to 4000 people,"

Xuanyuan Longfei was very happy, "It's my lord."

Zhang Qiang looked at Zhou Porridge again, "Since you are here, you will take charge of the work here, fully restore the civil affairs here, recruit soldiers, and clean up the remnants of the enemy and those gentry and powerful landlords who refuse to cooperate with us. In addition, send Jin Sheng Letter, let him increase the garrison force in the hinterland by one more hundred households in each county, and expand the garrison force to two hundred households. In this way, the troops in our hinterland will not be so empty. I will continue to work in Taizhou Prefecture Fighting, you and Jin Sheng will do a good job in the people's livelihood and defense of the places we occupy."

Zhou Congee said: "It's my lord, I will definitely do the job you asked me to do."

Zhang Qiang looked at Du Ge again, and Du Ge took a step forward, kneeling in front of Zhang Qiang's bed, "My lord."

Zhang Qiang said: "Expand the troops in Xianju County to two thousand households to guard. In addition, send one thousand households to guard Yongfeng Town. The defense there will also be handed over to you."

"Yes, my lord."

Zhang Qiang said to Zhao Siyang again: "Gather all the artillery, and supplement those that are not enough from the captives. Expand the artillery to two thousand households. You will personally lead the artillery for one thousand households and the infantry for one thousand households."

"Yes, my lord."

Zhang Qiang looked at Chen Hanhui with a smile, and Chen Hanhui immediately stepped forward, "My lord, the general wishes to join your Jinhua Rebel Army,"

"Okay, how many troops do you have now?"

Chen Hanhui said: "My lord, the other generals of the rebel army either died in battle, or left, or have already fled. After merging with other rebel troops, the last general now has more than [-] soldiers."

"Okay," he turned to Zhao Siyang and said, "Leadership by you, and General Chen Hanhui dispatch troops from Yongfeng Town, cross the Lingjiang River tonight, and attack Taizhou Prefecture and Linhai County from the rear."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for their consent, Zhang Qiang looked at the other generals of the rebel army who were still there, a young general of the rebel army, with a fair complexion and extraordinary heroism, came up and clasped his fists and said: "My lord, the last general Tang Dianfeng, I pay my respects to my lord."

Zhang Qiang looked at him and sighed in his heart, what a handsome young man, but he said in his mouth: "Are you going to leave here, or fight with our army?"

Tang Dianfeng fell to his knees and said, "My lord, the Jinhua Rebel Army is very powerful, and the orders are prohibited. They are indeed a model for our rebel army. The last general and a few fellow rebel soldiers behind him decided to learn from General Chen Hanhui and join your lord's Jinhua rebel army. Please take them in." "

Zhang Qiang said seriously: "The army has its rules, are you willing to abide by them?"

Tang Dianfeng knelt down together with several volunteer generals, and said in unison: "But at your command, we are willing to abide by your rules."

"Okay. How many soldiers and horses do you have now?"

Everyone looked at each other, their faces flushed slightly, Tang Dianfeng said in a low voice: "My lord, we will only wait for three hundred soldiers in total."

Zhang Qiang smiled and waved his hand, "It's okay, you can choose some troops from the captives and add them to your army. In addition, I will ask Mr. Zhou to add two hundred households to you, for a total of [-] soldiers and horses." , there are six of you, and each of you leads two hundred troops, but General Tang seems to be loved by you, so let him be the thousand households."

After thinking for a while, Zhang Qiang said to Zhou Porridge: "Go and transfer Lin Chengcheng, and let this little general Tang go to the first Xin'an County. Let them have time to rest and take care of the wounded."

At this time, Xuanyuanlong flew away and returned, shouting loudly: "My lord, my lord, the Qing army in Taizhou Fucheng and Linhai County sent a letter of surrender, and they are willing to surrender to our army."

Zhang Qiang sat up abruptly, which was really an unexpected surprise.

Now I don't have to send Zhao Siyang and Chen Hanhui to attack the side of Linhai County.

"Master Zhou, go send troops to take over the county seat. You will be in charge of the work here. Bring back Zhao Siyang, Chen Hanhui, and Xuanyuan Longfei. After replenishing the soldiers, take General Tang Dianfeng's rebel army, Zhao Siyang, and Chen Hanhui's troops. Rest for three days, and send troops after three days. Go south and conquer Taizhou County."

"Yes, my lord." Everyone was overjoyed.

Zhang Qiang said to Du Ge who hadn't left yet: "You lead the army here, continue to clean up the battlefield, count the seized supplies, and at the same time station in Linhai County to manage the military."

"Yes, my lord." Du Ge was also very happy.

Zhang Qiang said to Xuanyuan Longfei: "Who is the general who surrendered?"

Xuanyuan Longfei thought for a while, "My lord, the other party seems to say that they were former generals of the King of Lu, the governor Zhang Ying, the commander-in-chief Ruan Shu, and Ruan Wu."

Zhou Porridge said worriedly: "My lord, he is a courtier of Ming Ting Lu Jian Guo. This is not good news for our rebels."

Zhang Qiang was also worried that he was unwilling to contact people from the Ming Dynasty, because in that case, he would have to choose, and whichever one he chose would offend the other parties.

Another thing is that I am a unit of the rebel army. They are regular troops of the Ming army. They are untenable in terms of righteousness.

Chapter 85 see Zhang Ying

General Jingyang, Zhang Ying, and governors Ruan Shu and Ruan Wu voluntarily surrendered to Fan Shaozu. Their confidence was shaken when Shaoxing Mansion was breached and Zhu Yihai fled to the sea. Later, in Fujian and Zhoushan, Zhu Yihai The strength has not been very strong, and it has been suppressed by some ministers and generals who have always supported Emperor Hongguang and Emperor Longwu, and its development has been slow and difficult.

Later, the two led the army across the sea to surrender to Fan Shaozu. Fan Shaozu didn't reuse them at first, and then they followed the army to Taizhou Fucheng. At this time, they no longer had such high hopes for Fan Shaozu.

If it weren't for the large army outside the city, if it wasn't for the considerable distance between this place and Ningbo Mansion, Zhoushan and other places, they would have run back to Lu Jianguo a long time ago. Yes, when the gunfire troops advancing like a wall gave them a great shock, the flames of rebellion in their hearts began to ignite. The three of them secretly contacted their cronies, and secretly controlled important places in the state capital, but they didn't believe it. Wherever the army went, there were the Eight Banners of Mongolia or the Eight Banners of the Qing Army, monitoring the descendants of the Ming Army, and they were discovered.

Because of their thorough preparations, they controlled the important areas of the city gate when they fought. Therefore, with the support of Fan Shaozu's many favorable conditions that most of the troops were transferred out of Taizhou Fucheng to attack the Jinhua Rebel Army, they did everything in one fell swoop. Captured the capital city of Taizhou and the county seat of Linhai.
