As early as the next morning after arriving at the camp, Tao Qian left the camp in the small village with a group of men carrying hoes and shovels. Lurking on the side, they observed for a moment to make sure that there was no Qing army patrolling here, and the supply convoys were far from arriving, so they swarmed down.

"Dig this road and see how those Tartars can transport grain to the capital of Tingzhou."

As they shouted, the people hurriedly started their hands. There were special people watching at both ends of the road, and others picked up hoes or something to dig holes in the official road.

Digging a pit is not for planting anything, it is really just for destruction. Speaking of which, this official road has been repaired many times in recent years, and they, the people, have not made a lot of efforts. But this time it was destroyed, and one by one they sold enough strength, perhaps because of a revenge mentality, but it seemed to be extraordinarily happy.

The hoe was raised high on the official road and fell heavily, and the peasant man who had been digging in the soil for generations did this kind of work, which was definitely a professional level, and he could only catch it.

The official road was not completely dug up, but scattered in pairs and dug out one pit after another, large or small. This job is far simpler than repairing, and you can use your imagination at will, there are no certain rules, as long as you adhere to one principle, that is, it is enough to make the carriage and horses impassable.

In just one noon, the group of men completed their task and returned to the camp before nightfall. In this way, the sun rises and the sun sets, and it only took a few days for them to dig out a thousand ravines along the official road on the left, unless the supply convoy of the Qing army can soar through the clouds, otherwise don't think about passing it easily.

"State affairs are as urgent as sparks, I'm afraid that rest will not be possible, tomorrow I will bring a team of people over, and this place will be entrusted to the virtuous brother."

"Brother Tao, please rest assured, there will be no mistakes here."

After passing the ancient town, you will enter the boundary of Tingzhou Mansion. They have destroyed the roads on this side, and other mutual aid societies are organizing people to destroy bridges and roads further west. When these are all tossed, there is also news that the supply convoy in Ruijin County staged a drama of "dare to ask where the road is".

According to the plan, the next step is to destroy the road between the ancient town and the capital city of Tingzhou. However, the mutual aid association has a lot of influence in Ruijin County, but it is already the boundary of Tingzhou Mansion. In addition, they carried out the practice of clearing the wilderness, and moved the people to the mountains to avoid the enemy, and the safety of these people also needed to be ensured by a large number of men. Therefore, each of their previous operations was based on a one-day cycle, leaving early in the morning and returning to the camp before sunset. But if you take the next step, you will inevitably go behind enemy lines.

This is no longer something that can be done independently by a camp. So, after a few members of the Heaven and Earth Society, they decided to send a part of the personnel and food from each camp to various points to destroy the official road.

Before dawn the next day, Tao Qian set off with people. All the way over the mountains and mountains, fortunately there was a guide to lead the way, but there was no such thing as getting lost. Soon arrived at the agreed place, and these familiar sabotage experts began their good show.

This kind of good show lasted for two days before Tao Qian returned to the camp with people. It wasn't until he returned to the camp that he got the news that the supply convoy had finally arrived in the ancient town with a lot of effort. If you do the math, the time spent on this journey is no less than ten times that of normal circumstances.

Next, the work of the Mutual Aid Association is not too much, but the members of these Heaven and Earth Associations will continue to toss and turn. However, the situation for the supply convoy is still daunting.

Out of the ancient town, the official road was fine at first, but after walking a distance, it soon became the same as before. This time, as far as the eye can see, there are still big pits and small pits on the official road, and there is no problem with people in the past, and it is not difficult to lead the horse to pay a little attention to it, but the problem is that they are supply convoys, and the carts transporting grain cannot get thinner.

Fortunately, with the previous lesson, the warden collected a batch of tools in the ancient town this time, hoes, shovels or something, and even rammed earth ramming pestles and other things are also readily available.

It's still possible to do what you can, and if you can't fix it, you can repair it as it was before, and you can go as you did before the ancient town, just asking for one to rush to Tingzhou as soon as possible. The bad temper of the warden in the first half of the way has been almost worn out, and when he supervised the repair, the idea of being fortunate that he was not born in the tyrannical Qin occasionally popped up in his mind, otherwise he would have to learn from Chen Sheng and Wu Guang if he didn't get it, and that was not a job that he could play as a scholar.

The question of not making an appointment is no longer a problem, because the time has long passed. In the past, he had not encountered similar delays, such as encountering bandits, or encountering small units of the Ming army and the rebel army, and the grain was looted. But this time, no one has encountered it, but there are not a lot of bad things at all, even if you want to find an object to be angry, you can only go to these people around you.

The whips of the officials and officials had already crackled all the way, and the people did not dare to make a mistake on their faces, but they all greeted these guys countless times in their hearts—not only to forcibly have unconscionable, unreasonable, and illegal physical relations with the immediate female relatives of these abusers, but also to talk about their own compassion for the other party, and not at all to dislike the other party for being old, ugly, dirty, and smelly, and some of them were more generous, and maybe they would reward the other party with a few pennies after the incident. If you don't look at their current situation and change a few words, maybe they say that they are doing good deeds, and people believe them.

"I knew that I would have learned from those people in the mutual aid association, and if I ran far away, would these bastards still be able to bite Lao Tzu's bird?"

The people were full of grievances, and of course the warden knew it, but he didn't care about it, just like why the jackal should care about the rabbit's idea is a truth. He was only concerned about the road now, and his mind was focused on it, and he naturally observed it carefully, and it didn't take long to find some clues.

According to his observations, the damage did not appear to have been caused by a single team, as there was a great difference in the outline, depth, and distribution of the potholes.

In addition, there are some creative ones, such as some places not only dig pits, but also plant saplings in the pits; Some not only dig big pits in the road, but also where there are no pits and cover them with leaves and other things. The former is fine, that is, it is just a little troublesome, but the latter, not only disgusting people, but also insulting their intelligence - no matter how well they are built, they will attract flies, and many maggots will flow all over the ground when they arrive, and it will be impossible to see what difference there is from a blind man.

The Warden swore to bring these fellows to justice when it was all over, and to treat them the way they were. This thought lasted for several days, and it was not until they got out of this mountainous area and saw the outline of the capital city of Tingzhou that it came to an end.

"It's finally here."

It was easy to arrive, and the warden couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Immediately, the escorting Green Battalion officers sent out the scouts in advance not only sent the news of their arrival to the defenders of Tingzhou Prefecture, but also brought back the news that they could enter the city directly.

"It's another siege of three and one is missing, and Huangshan is still counting on driving all the green battalion soldiers in the city into Ruijin County after breaking through the city."

I have been here many times, and I have heard the officers who defend the city talk about it, and the warden has some understanding. After showing off in public, in exchange for the praise of a knowing soldier, he and the green battalion officer took the supply convoy directly into the capital city of Tingzhou.

The supply of food and grass was delivered, and the morale of the defenders in the city was boosted. However, the quartermaster counted the numbers, and soon Dong Dayong, the chief soldier of the Tingzhou Mansion, who was in charge of the city's defense, was so black that he could drip ink.

"Just a little bit of food, and it took so long?"

Speaking of which, the capital city of Tingzhou has now become one of the few nails of the Qing army in Fujian, and it is also the most important one. Since the Ming army recovered Fujian, it has attracted much attention, so the Qing court specially transferred Dong Dayong, who was still a deputy general at that time, from Nanjiang to serve as the chief military officer, and transferred Dong Dayong's headquarters soldiers and horses to assist in the defense.

Tingzhou Town, when the Qing court first set up this town, it was the chief military officer Bule, with two battalions on the left and right, with a total of 2,000 soldiers. Dong Dayong led the headquarters to arrive and took over the handsome seal, and his department was reorganized into the middle camp of Tingzhou Town. In addition, in order to strengthen the defense here, the Qing court also established a Tingzhou City Garrison Association, with a total of 2,000 soldiers, and even established a city garrison force of 500 soldiers in the name of the seven counties of Tingzhou Prefecture, including naturalization, Ninghua, Qingliu, Liancheng, Wuping, Shanghang, and Yongding.

In this way, the Qing court gathered 8,500 troops in such a small place as Tingzhou Fucheng, which was not much worse than the soldiers and horses of Huangshan, the right commander of the Ming army. With such a large-scale army, the supply of grain and grass in Ruijin is not only late, but also insufficient, Rao is Dong Dayong is known for his good temper among the generals of Southern Jiangxi, but the Buddha also has three points of anger, and he will never tolerate the things that make his subordinates hungry.

After reprimanding the warden and the officers guarding the Green Battalion, Haosheng ordered them to immediately set off for Ruijin County to bring more grain and grass. The warden didn't dare to say much, so he had to reluctantly agree, and hurriedly took the green battalion soldiers of the people and guards out of Tingzhou City, and he didn't even have time to eat.

The warden and the officials, the green battalion soldiers, and the people were all indignant, especially the accident, the Qing court had hoarded a large amount of grain and grass in the city of Tingzhou, and this time it was just a supplement, and it was not a matter of living on this mouthful of food, which was really a bit too much.

"Warden, do you want to fill in the pits on the road that will not be filled when you go back?"

A small official made a tentative speech, in order to be able to bring the food again without delaying time, but the warden suffered a stomach in the lobby of the General Soldier's Mansion, and when he didn't vent, he pointed to his nose and scolded him.

"How stupid are you to ask this question, and those thieves will make trouble once, won't they come again? If they do it again, it will be a waste of time to fill it in now! ”

They were angry and returned the same way, or how they came. Fortunately, on the way back, the grain was unloaded, and it was considered to be light, and the speed was much faster. However, although they have not been in the city for a long time, what they have unloaded in the city is not only as simple as food, but also all kinds of gossip, which have quietly spread to every corner of the entire Tingzhou capital city.

"Did you hear that? Nanxiong Mansion City and Nan'an Mansion City were lost, Su Yangzhi Su Shuai and Guo Hu Guo Shuai were all killed, and the two heads are now hanging side by side on the banner of Chen Kai, the governor of Guangdong. ”

"Yes, I've also heard that Su Yangzhi Su Shuai died at the hands of Li Chengdong's godson. And Guo Hu and Guo Shuai, who fled all the way from Lianzhou Mansion to Gaoming County, and then fled back to Ganzhou Mansion from Gaoming County, and was so big that Li Chengdong's subordinate Ma Bao was captured in front of the battle. This time, Chen Fujun brought Li Chengdong's generals and godsons back to avenge the old revenge! ”

withstood the three attacks of Jin Shenghuan and Li Chengdong, thus buying time for the Qing court to suppress the two provinces anyway, and even Li Chengdong was killed by them. The old events of that year can be described as the most glorious achievements of Nangan Town. Because of this achievement, a kind of deputy generals and staff generals in Nanjiang were also sent to various places to serve as chief military officers within a few years, such as Guo Hu, Xian Qiyu, Gao Jinku, Liu Bolu, Dong Dayong and others, and Yang Yuming, who was transferred to Changde Fucheng as the chief military officer.

The glory of that year was built on the abrupt end of the first anti-Qing upsurge in the Southern Ming Dynasty, and they knew very well that Li Chengdong's godsons and generals hated them more than Shang Kexi, Geng Jimao or something, and their generals hated them more than these Southern Jiangxi green battalions. And now, there is not only one Li Jianjie under Chen Kai, such as Hao Shangjiu and Ma Bao are also Li Chengdong's old subordinates, this time they sent troops to fight them, and there is revenge and revenge?

According to the rumors spread in the city, the Qing army has opened the door in Southern Jiangxi, and the Ming army has taken these two prefectures, and the next one is naturally Ganzhou Prefecture. It was the seat of the Yamen of the Governor of Southern Jiangxi, the core of the entire Southern Jiangxi region, just like Guangzhou in Guangdong. Once there is a loss, the entire Southern Jiangxi, and even the entire Jiangxi will face a situation where there is no danger to defend, with the current momentum of the Ming army, if it is not done well, it will be swept away.

Whether it swept half the wall or not, it didn't really matter to them. But the problem is that once Ganzhou is threatened, their Tingzhou capital city is likely to become an outcast, and this is not a matter of fun.

Life and death are at stake, and panic spreads wantonly in the city. In less than two days, these nonsense had already reached Dong Dayong's ears, and he could probably guess that it was just a rumor, but the problem was that he had no evidence of explanation at all, but it was easy to get darker and darker. Especially when a burst of cheers came from outside the city, he hurriedly went to the city to look, but what he saw was that another Ming army had arrived, and it didn't really matter whether these were really or not.

"The Haikou is here!"
