Chapter 173: The Tide

Under the same sunshine, Chen Shizhong was urging the green battalion soldiers of the Taizhou Association to set off quickly, as for the Tuan Yong who came to the coercion, he had already killed seven deserters last night, and now he was afraid of being killed by Chen Shizhong. （）

"Lord Zhentai!" A regimental leader said cautiously: "I heard that now Huangyan County has fallen into the hands of thieves!" ”

"Kochi Prefecture is still holding out in the prefecture!" Chen Shizhong's eyes were murderous: "You dare to speak for the red thief?" ”

This charge was pressed down, and the leader of the regiment immediately knelt down: "Lord Zhentai spares his life, Lord Zhentai spares his life, the villain just misheard and misbelieved the rumors!" ”

Chen Shizhong still had a murderous aura: "Whoever spreads rumors, you bring whose head you bring, and if you can't find someone who spreads rumors, then take your own head to blame!" ”

What matters now is not the facts, but the facts that Chen Shizhong believes, the leader of this group of Yong was immediately scared into a soft-footed shrimp, and this Zhentai Lord is too terrible!

It's just that it was his wife and brother who escaped from Huangyan County to report the news, if he killed him, wouldn't his wife want to find himself desperately, how could he find a substitute for the dead ghost and deal with the current crisis?

Now these regimental brave leaders don't dare to talk back to this Chen Shizhong general soldier, yesterday during the day, this Chen general soldier really went crazy, and the severed heads were not 100 but 80, and the regimental courage of some villages almost slaughtered the village because they refused to go to Huangyan with Chen Zongbing, and cut off seven or eight heads last night.

As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but be afraid, just begging God to bless him to find a substitute for the dead ghost smoothly, otherwise Mr. Chen, who would go crazy, would be the first to cut himself down.

At this moment, Chen Shizhong was already standing on the horse and sneered: "To deal with these mud legs, there is no need to use other means besides cutting with a knife!" ”

There was no turning back for him, even if the road in front of him was a dead end.

……

And under the same sunshine, Zhang Yuzao, the prefect of Taizhou, felt that he had finally slept well - he didn't sleep all night yesterday, and he was planning for the defense of Linhai Prefecture.

"Duan Daotai is really far-sighted!" He said to the guerrillas who had arrived from Shaoxing: "Thank God, you have come, and our hearts have finally settled. ”

Ningbo people's brains are particularly active, so the green battalion is much more erosive than the Taizhou green battalion, although it is known as the six battalions, but the actual soldiers are only more than 1,000, the year before last Shanghai made a knife meeting, because Shanghai and Ningbo have a relationship, so there are also small-scale double knives in the countryside will try to change, the official is worried that the Shanghai knife will attack across the sea, Duan Guangqing had no choice but to make a tour, and the brave of the four townships of Ningbo were found to parade, mighty, exaggerated, according to the official statement, there are more than 100,000 brave people, As long as Duan Guang counted the famous Tuan Yong, each of them was given a hundred wen to serve as a snack.

But even Duan Guangqing himself said that this is completely just an empty city plan, although there are more than 100,000 brave people, but it is not bad to really come in handy with a few thousand people, at that time they are all farmers who temporarily put down their hoes to do a short job, the only thing worth boasting about is that this empty city plan seems to be effective - Shanghai knife will be surrounded by the Qing army, and it is impossible to be distracted to cross the sea to attack Ningbo Mansion.

In this case, Duan Guangqing's subordinates really have no usable reinforcements, the people of Ningbo are too active, they all want to go to the beach, it would be good to be able to pull up a few brave soldiers for mutual protection and self-defense, and the people of Taizhou Mansion are fierce, and there is a tradition of exporting Taiyong, in this case, Duan Guangqing can only retreat, and barely recruit 600 brave men from Shaoxing Mansion and Ningbo Mansion, and escort 30,000 taels of military pay to Taizhou Mansion by a guerrilla commander, with such a batch of military salaries and reinforcements, Zhang Yuzao finally felt that he could gain a firm foothold in Linhai City.

"Fortunately, I am fortunate to have this military salary, and with Ma Sen, you will bring reinforcements to help!"

With Taizhou's fierce folk customs, with food and salary, you can recruit brave warriors, plus these five hundred brave warriors, it seems that you can be sure of defending the city, and it is always sure to hold out for at least one or two days.

His only worry was what kind of destructive power Chen Shizhong, a madman, would have.

……

Under the same sunshine, Liu Chang patted the shoulders of the officers of each battalion and company, and did not say much, but said: "Do a good job, I will not forget your merits!" ”

There was no need to mobilize against an enemy like Chen Shizhong, and he believed that his officers would execute everything perfectly. ..., but in this early morning, he had never been so popular, he seemed to be like an angel in the sun.

Since last night, many squires have fled from Linhai and Huangyan, and they knelt in front of Liu Chang to complain bitterly about Chen Shizhong's madness, and even did the slaughter of the village.

Compared with the Hong Army's crossing of the border, which only needs to support food and expenses, the soldiers led by Chen Shizhong seem to be more like a group of unorganized thieves, especially the destruction of those group training that has been coerced is even more amazing, and some people have erupted their usual grievances.

According to these squires, this army bravely crossed the border, and it was simply a lack of grass, and in desperation, they had to go to Liu Jiehu to seek justice.

After all, it was Chen Shizhong who was the chief soldier of Huangyan Town, even if they went to Taizhou Mansion to complain, Governor Zhang would not be able to clean up the general soldier Chen who was above him, so he could only ask Liu Jiehu to send volunteers to eliminate this team of soldiers.

It turned out that only a few squires came to cry for Qin Ting last night, but this morning the situation soon changed, and many squires knelt in front of the avenue with organized group exercises, willing to follow Liu Chang to plagiarize Chen Shizhong.

Their home is on the road of Chen Shizhong's advance, with Chen Shizhong's crazy energy, Chen Shizhong will definitely coerce them to attack Huangyan County today, and they will pay money, food and women, and hang people up and beat them if they are not satisfied.

Yesterday, there was a village of about 200 people, Chen Shizhong's subordinates knocked out 500 taels of silver for labor and military expenses, and there were three eldest daughters and daughters-in-law who were clamoring to hang themselves, and more than 20 porters were arrested.

There was even a village that was said to have been killed by Chen Shizhong's subordinates, and at least three or four hundred people in the village were beheaded by the Green Battalion soldiers - this was just a rumor, but it was widely spread, and that village was indeed almost slaughtered by Chen Shizhong, and finally escaped after a thousand desperate attempts, but still cut off more than 20 heads.

Liu Chang traveled all the way, and along the road were squires and virtuous people kneeling to the ground, and the regimental exercises were replaced with red flags, asking to help in the battle together.

Liu Chang won the hearts of the people in Taizhou for more than a month, which was not as good as Chen Shizhong's achievements in one day.

……

And under the same sun, Shao Bingzhao, the little scribe of the Huangyan County Ya, secretly glanced at the Red Turban Army that opened Huangyan City on the city wall.

He is a standard old scribe, and he is in charge of a very important criminal name, he has been in charge of the clerks in Huangyan County for more than ten years, Gao Liangcai because he is not his own person, he wants to kick himself away, but because he is very hard in the backstage of the house, it is always difficult to start.

Gao Liangcai's criminal master had a very unpleasant quarrel with him, but no matter how the situation changes, a shallow water dragon like Gao Liangcai definitely can't fight a snake like Shao Bingzhao, not to mention that Shao Bingzhao's backstage is extremely hard.

Not only does he have a group of relatives and friends in the mansion, but the most important thing is that he is Su Jingrong's person, Su Jingrong is the number one person in Taizhou Mansion, and his subordinates have collected countless three sects and nine factions, and characters like Shao Bingzhao are also characters in Su Jingrong's pocket.

He Shao Bingzhao is in charge of the county's criminal name documents, and only when there is a stir, it can reach Su Jingrong's ears, not to mention that Su Jingrong is in it, and he also relies on Su Jingrong's support and his relationship in the government, and fights with the successive magistrates.

But he never expected such a tragic day, the red thief entered this Huangyan County, and after Kochi County was set up in the name of a Taizhou prefect after being a thief, he still did not let go of him, a little scribe who had caused him countless troubles.

And Feng Sixian, the new official, wanted to make a new atmosphere in the county government, of course, he could only start with Qian Gu and the criminal name, he brought a person named Shi Deping, and took Shao Bingzhao's position at once.

Shao Bingzhao has been in charge of the criminal documents in the yamen for more than ten years, but when Feng Sixian gave an order, he could only hand over the keys to a dozen cabinets in his hand, but his heart was dripping blood!

What kind of fat shortage is this, you can get hundreds of dollars a year lying still, if you are diligent, you will not change it to a magistrate, not to mention that you can get hundreds of dollars in a big lawsuit, not to mention that Shao Bingzhao has always been accustomed to eating two fish - eating the plaintiff and then the defendant. ..., now Shi Deping has not yet mastered these criminal documents, so Shao Bingzhao just retreated to the auxiliary position, but Shao Bingzhao knew that his good life would never come back.

It's not as simple as changing to a new county, it's the red thief who has entered the city, it's the change of dynasty, and it's Shi Deping's yellow-haired boy who has taken his place forever.

The relationships that he was proud of in the government were no longer useful on the side of the red thief, the red thief would only believe in his own people like Shi Deping, and he, an old scribe, could only drink the northwest wind, and even Su Jingrong, a big backer, the red thief would not look at it.

That's right, Su Jingrong is the number one person in Taizhou Mansion, and there are countless three sects and nine factions under his command, and Taizhou Mansion will be shocked when he blows his breath, but compared with this Liu Juehu and other dragons who have crossed the river, it is yesterday's yellow flower.

Just watching Liu Jiehu lead the team out of this Huangyan City, the sun shining on the faces of those majestic red thieves, he only felt that his good days were over.

Now is the era of Zhang Chengye's mud legs, but the next moment, he suddenly had an idea.

The Red Thief Brigade went out of the city to sweep Chen Shizhong, there must not be many red thieves left in the city, not to mention that there are also Tuyong like Zhang Chengye, and there are even fewer real red thieves, if Su Jingrong is invited to enter Huangyan City to cut off the back road of the red thieves, then wouldn't he have set up a great honor, and when the time comes, he will not only be able to manage the criminal name documents in Huangyan City, but maybe he will also enter the Linhai City to manage the criminal name documents of the entire Taiwan Prefecture Government.

Su Jingrong had told him in advance to let him act as a detective in Huangyan City, and he must find out the details of the red thief, and now is the most suitable time.

Watching the red thieves drive out of the city in a steady stream at the head of the city, Shao Bingzhao unconsciously showed a smile on his face.

Happy days are here again! The dark clouds in the sky are gone, let us sing a song of joy again, and happy days have come again!

ps: There are a lot of things to do during the Dragon Boat Festival, and I originally wanted to have four watches, but I only had three watches until one o'clock in the morning, so I had to go to bed first
