The Han man opposite Bolo was named Xie Sanbin, who was not only a jinshi in the fifth year of the Apocalypse, but also one of the most powerful gentry in Zhejiang Province.

He rushed to Hangzhou to ask Boluo for his family business as soon as possible: "The thieves in Jinhua are all women, and they can't become the climate, and now the fathers and elders of Zhejiang are waiting for Wang Shi to cross the river as soon as possible!"

This is Xie Sanbin's true thoughts, although there are Liu Yongxi's 10,000 soldiers and horses in Zhejiang, but he, a red man of the Hongguang Dynasty, felt that Jinhua was a defeat after seeing Empress Zhang and Princess Kunxing in prison, and rushed to Hangzhou to recruit troops as soon as possible in order to protect his million-dollar property.

Although even Boluo, the commander of the Qing army, is now hesitating to cross the river to the south, Xie Sanbin is more active than Bolo in this matter.

The so-called "crossing the river" refers to the Qiantang River, although Boluo's 40,000 troops have conquered Hangzhou, but this army did not cross the Qiantang River but was busy digesting the fruits of victory, so Bolo specially asked Xie Sanbin: "Wang Zhiren, Chen Wu can these people be trusted?" ”

He said that the general soldiers of the Ming Dynasty came to vote, Wang Zhiren, the strongest general soldier of Dinghai, known as 25,000 soldiers and horses, although it is only a paper force, but on paper the army is stronger than Liu Yongxi, the Duke of Yue.

Chen Wu, the chief soldier of Jiaxing, also has thousands of people, but although these chief soldiers and deputy chief soldiers have openly surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, they have always secretly communicated with Jinhua, plus the Fang Guoan Department who fled to Yanzhou Mansion, so Bolo has never been able to make up his mind to cross the river.

In the matter of inviting the Qing army to cross the river, Xie Sanbin was even more anxious than the coach Bolo: "Baylor, whether Wang Zhiren and Chen Wu's generation can be used, the key is to see how many soldiers and horses Baylor is willing to send to cross the river?" If Baylor sends two or three hundred people to cross the river, even if they are all elite soldiers of the Eight Banners, who will take this vanguard in their eyes!"

Although Wang Zhiren's so-called 25,000 men is purely paper strength, and the real strength may only be a few thousand, but Boluo only sent two or three hundred people to cross the Qiantang River, not only Liu Yongxi, the Duke of Yueguo, looked down on this light army, but Wang Zhiren and Chen Wu would not take this vanguard seriously.

And in this matter, Boluo was under great pressure from Duoduo, Prince Yu Duoduo didn't know what medicine he had taken wrong, and it was impossible for him to conquer the whole of Zhejiang as soon as possible to appease the Jinhua thieves, so Xie Sanbin's suggestion really made him heartbroken: "Then what if you send 3,000 people across the river?" ”

Although ten times more troops were dispatched, Xie Sanbin felt that Bolo was too safe on this issue: "Baylor, if there are no Jinhua thieves, three thousand elite soldiers are enough to pacify the whole of Zhejiang, but since the Jinhua thieves are there, please ask Baylor to send more troops and horses across the river, and it is best to send more Manchurian elite soldiers!"

Since Xie Sanbin said this, Bo Luo naturally changed his mind: "Then it's enough for me to send a Jia Lazhangjing to lead 4,000 soldiers and horses across the river, right?" ”

It's just that Xie Sanbin was bent on pacifying the whole Zhejiang and protecting his net worth as soon as the soldiers crossed the river: "Although the four thousand soldiers and horses are almost there, the Jinhua thief has Liu Yongxi, the prince of Yueguo, and this fierce general cannot be underestimated, please Baylor or send more soldiers and horses, and I will lead the righteous division in Mingzhou to respond to the Wang Division!"

Although Bolo has 40,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, most of his subordinates are surrendered to generals, and Huang Degong's old troops alone account for a small half.

Although Huang Degong's department is already considered to be a few elites in the Ming Kingdom, but Liu Yongxi, the Duke of Yueguo, is definitely an outlier in the Ming Kingdom, Duoduo's southern expedition not only encountered Liu Yongxi's fierce resistance and suffered a lot of losses, but also let Liu Yongxi run under his nose, and after crossing the river, he fought on the home field of the Jinhua thieves, so he really felt that what Xie Sanbin said was very reasonable: "Since the people of Zhejiang are looking forward to Wang Shi going south as soon as possible, then send 5,000 troops to cross the river first!"

With Bolo's order, with hundreds of surrendered troops as the forerunner, the Qing army crossed the Qiantang River and headed for Jinhua Mansion.

Bolo can be said to have made a bloody investment this time, although the total strength of this vanguard is only 5,000 people, they are all real elite soldiers, and Tian Xiong, the general who betrayed Huang Degong and Emperor Hongguang, is sent to lead this elite army together with Mele Zhangjing, who he sent, and Bolo is ready to continue to invest in troops.

It's just that Bolo's actions reached Jinhua as soon as possible, and even the specific words between Xie Sanbin and Bolo have already been transmitted.

For Liu Yongxi, this is simply a godsend, he told Zhang Guowei and Zhu Dadian, the two newly crowned ministers of Empress Zhang: "Two Xiangguo, this is really God help me, I will immediately send troops to Jiangshang!" After the victory, I will give Xie Sanbin a credit!"

Although Zhang Guowei and Xie Sanbin used to be officials in the same dynasty, he really didn't expect Xie Sanbin to be so shameless: "I really didn't expect Xie Sanbin to be so mad, if Boluo only sent one or two thousand people to cross the river, it would be much easier to deal with!"

Liu Yongxi shook his head and said: "I have always used more soldiers, the better, and I also hope that the more the people who cross the river, the more the better, the better the situation of the country, so I said that I want to give Xie Sanbin a credit!"

Zhang Guowei and Zhu Dadian both knew that Liu Yongxi was going to win a big victory on the river to unite people's hearts, so Zhang Guowei specially reminded Liu Yongxi: "Yue Guogong, the success or failure of the country's rise and fall is in this battle, although there are only 5,000 captives crossing the river, but there are 40,000 or 50,000 people in Boluo's department, it is better to be careful!"

For Jinhua, a small court, this is a decisive battle that cannot afford to lose, and it can even be said that it is a gamble on the national fortune, but the most worrying problem is that Boluo alone has an army of forty or fifty thousand, in addition to Wang Zhiren, Chen Wu and other Ming generals Although they keep in touch with Jinhua, they have also lost their sincerity to Bolo.

Chen Wu is not a problem in Jiaxing, but Wang Zhiren, the general soldier of Dinghai, happens to be in Ningbo Mansion, in case Liu Yongxi leads the main force out of the river and is copied by Wang Zhiren, the situation will not be good.

Liu Yongxi laughed: "I have already sent Zhang Huangyan to deal with this matter, and when the time comes, we can join forces on the river to enter Hangzhou!"

Zhang Huangyan and Xie Binsan are both from Ningbo, although the two are very different in temperament, but in terms of local influence, it is obvious that Xie Binsan, the Jinshi Xianggong, is much greater, so Zhu Dadian couldn't help asking: "Yue Guogong, Zhang Cangshui only brought a battalion of people back to his hometown this time!"

Liu Yongxi said very clearly: "That's right, Zhang Huangyan only brought one battalion of people, but I asked him to bring back at least five battalions of people!"
