。 Lu Ping was taken aback: "If Qu Zhenhan can't hold Wenzhou anymore, then I'm afraid that our Taiping County will bear the brunt?" ”

He is a small tyrant in Taiping County, Taiping County and Yueqing County are only separated by a mountain, not to mention that Qu Zhenhan and their Red Turban Army are mostly from Hongqiao, and most recently with Taiping County, Lu Ping himself has also been in contact with Qu Zhenhan several times.

It's just that he never thought that the little owner of the sauce garden shop could make a big career, but Qu Zhenhan's failure told him that Qu Zhenhan's success was entirely because of Liu Chang, and his failure was also because there was no Liu Jian by his side.

It's just that Gao Liangcai told him not to panic: "There is a Wenzhou in the middle, so don't worry, it's just that Qu Zhenhan is now asking the inspector to lead the troops south and jointly manage Wenzhou Mansion?" I don't know what to do with the inspection? ”

"Go south to jointly manage Wenzhou Mansion?" Lu Ping said: "Although this is a one-word king, it is not easy!" ”

Sorghum has the same answer: "It's not easy!" ”

……

Northern Fujian, Fuding County.

The journey of the Hongjun into Fujian began in Fuding County, and their journey to Fujian also ended in Fuding County.

Yellow flag trees are located on all sides of Fuding County, representing that the Rainbow Army still controls the northernmost county in Fujian, but it is only a matter of time before the county changes hands.

The tide of green flags, countless Qing troops wearing uniforms launched wave after wave of attacks and shouts, they attacked the last line of defense of the Red Turban Army again and again, and hundreds of flintlock pistols and several small-caliber foreign cannons were also invested.

Qu Zhenhan had a few more gray hairs on his head, and he said to Yu Cun beside him: "Mr. Yu, I was wrong for not listening to your good words, if there is a dragon spear camp here, we may have already drunk tea in Fuzhou City!" ”

Yu Cun was not so optimistic: "Dashuai." When things come to this, what are you doing so much, it is a matter of time before we withdraw from Fuding, how to keep Pingyang City well! ”

He said again: "Even if there is a foreign spear team from the Dragon Lance Battalion coming, but there are so many Qing Demons, I'm afraid the Dragon Lance Battalion will not be able to find a place to start!" ”

This time, the Red Turban Army and the Red Money Volunteers jointly fought in northern Fujian. At first, it went smoothly, relying on Zhao Qi's contacts in northern Fujian for many years, they had already won most of Funing Mansion at first, and they entered Fujian Mansion when they saw it.

However, the ensuing war became more difficult, and the Zhejiang-Fujian Theater had always been a military region with the largest number of troops in the entire Manchu Qing system, and the number of green battalion soldiers alone exceeded 100,000, but the number of green battalion soldiers in Zhejiang was only more than 30,000, and the remaining 60,000 or so green battalion troops belonged to Fujian.

When the Fujian Qing army found out that they threatened Fuzhou Mansion, almost half of the Green Battalion soldiers and tens of thousands of Fujian Yong soldiers were mobilized from Fujian to rush to Funing Mansion and start a fierce battle with the Red Turban Army. The two sides won and lost each other, and although the Red Turban Army was relatively smooth at first, the more the battle went to the back, the more unfavorable it became.

At first, it was able to rely on the one or two hundred flintlock pistols raised as the sharp edge of the Red Turban Army, and at critical moments, it often suffered a big defeat to the Qing army, but after entering April, the Qing army also purchased a lot of flintlock pistols and foreign cannons from foreigners. The two sides fought evenly matched.

What's even worse is that although the combat effectiveness of the Fujian Green Battalion is not strong, it has accumulated a lot of actual combat experience in the three or four years of Xianfeng's suppression of the Southern Fujian Small Knife Society and the Fujian Red Money Society, and there are many Green Battalion generals who are still powerful in commanding the troops. The war is developing more and more in the direction of the Red Turban Army.

However, after entering the middle of May, the war can only be described as taking a sharp turn for the worse, and Fujian itself has a tradition of sending out mercenaries, and Fujian and Yong are everywhere, and the Qing army has recruited more than 10,000 brave soldiers at any cost, not to mention, and has transferred thousands of soldiers from Jiangxi to participate in the battle. ..., and as an official, it is more convenient for them to purchase foreign guns and cannons, while the Red Turban Army can only rely on Huang Wei's fleet to purchase a very small amount of flintlock pistols and gunpowder at sea. Therefore, after the battle reached June, the Red Turban Army finally could not support it, and abandoned three county towns in succession.

Now Fuding County is the last county in Fujian Province in their hands, and then they can only retreat to Wenzhou, thinking that this expedition is missing the dragon gun battalion, Qu Zhenhan feels that this is a life hate: "hateful, hateful." If Liu Chang is willing to bring the dragon spear battalion to northern Fujian, I can give up the position of the generalissimo, hate! ”

Yu Cun couldn't understand Qu Zhenhan's paranoia, but he said: "Let's take advantage of the night to retreat to Wenzhou, we still have more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in our hands." There are still a lot of soldiers and horses in Wenzhou Mansion! ”

However, Qu Zhenhan knew very well that almost all the most combat-effective troops in the Red Turban Army were consumed in Fujian. Not to mention anything else, their Qu clan killed and injured as many as fifty or sixty people in northern Fujian.

In this case, returning to Wenzhou is just a struggle for a while: "Mr. Yu, the only way to do this is to ask the Dragon Gun Battalion to go south, if they don't go south, I'm afraid this Wenzhou Mansion will not be able to keep it, once Wenzhou Mansion is lost, the Qing Demon of Fujian will inevitably press the back road of the Dragon Gun Camp in Taizhou Mansion, how about you help me go?" As long as the dragon spear battalion is willing to go south, how about I seal Liu Chang and Liu to check the point and be the king side by side? ”

Yu Cun is very clear that even if the Qing army kills all the way to Wenzhou Mansion, Liu Chang will probably not go south, at most he will send troops to occupy Yongjia and Yueqing counties, and confront the Qing army across the river, but he is not good at refusing Qu Zhenhan: "Qu Shuai, I will go this trip for you, but I really don't have much certainty!" ”

"When I went south to northern Fujian, if I forcibly let Liu Chang come with me, I don't think he could refuse, and now that Liu Chang has become a wing, only Mr. Yu can persuade you!"

Yu Cun said: "Shuai Qu, the overall situation can still be cleaned up, I heard that Deputy Marshal Ni is not very satisfactory in the state capital!" ”

"Not only is it unsatisfactory, he can't hold on, he just wants to support the last moment, I will return to Wenzhou Mansion, and he will also return to Yongjia!"

Looking at the battle flags, blood and corpses all over the sky, Qu Zhenhan shouted: "Today I know, today I know, this is a big mistake to collect the iron of Kyushu!" ”

And Qu Zhenhan's rout in Fujian, although it was in Liu Chang's expectations, Liu Chang did not expect Qu Zhenhan to gather 20,000 or 30,000 people to go south, and there was a foreign gun team, but it only lasted for two or three months and could not hold on.

Shi Tinglan asked him: "Do you want to move our plan for the western expedition?" ”

"Don't move! Order the regiments to assemble as originally planned! Liu Chang's face was very resolute, as if no accident could change his determination, he just looked at the map of Zhejiang and pointed his finger at Wenzhou Mansion.

Shi Tinglan said: "Now that we are going south, it can be said that the division is famous, we can cross the river with Qu Zhenhan and let him give us all the places north of the Oujiang River." ”

"It's useless!" Liu Chang immediately replied: "There are no less than 30,000 Qing troops pressed over from Fujian, how many troops do we throw into it?" ”

Although Liu Chang's capital has expanded a lot, especially the local political power organization has been basically established, and every township has a platoon of township soldiers who are out of production and a basic militia company that is not out of production, but it is nothing compared with the Qing army in Fujian, which has pressed over.

Shi Tinglan was already thinking about how many troops to invest in defeating the Qing army advancing northward, and she soon found that the two battalions that were put into the Nanxi regiment were absolutely uncertain, and although there was hope for the three battalions belonging to the dragon lance regiment, they were also five or five, and they could only be thrown into the Nanxi regiment and the dragon lance regiment.

However, Liu Chang had already booked to put the Dragon Lance Regiment and the Nanxi Regiment into Jinhua Mansion, so it didn't seem to be a good plan to go south to Wenzhou. ..., "What then?" ”

Liu Chang said: "Wait, wait, I want to wait!" ”

"What are you waiting for?"

"I want to see if the Governor Wang of Fujian has such good intentions, regards Wenzhou as his real jurisdiction, and whether he is willing to throw tens of thousands of troops from Fujian into Wenzhou Mansion, even regardless of the possibility that I may go south at any time!"

Shi Tinglan has already understood: "Xiao Chang, are you saying that there is still a possibility that the Fujian Qing Demon will not cross the provincial border?" ”

Liu Chang said: "It's not that you don't cross the provincial border, but you are determined to cross the border of Zhejiang and Fujian provinces!" ”

Shi Tinglan didn't understand.

……

Fu Wendao has been having a headache lately.

He is a person on the line between Shi Tinglan Niangniang and Yang Changmei Niangniang, which is a fact that everyone in the entire Hongjun is clear to.

It was precisely because he attached Shi Niangniang and Yang Niangniang that he was able to come to Yuhuan County to serve as the magistrate, but he soon found that the position Liu Chang gave him was not wrong at all.

The commander of the independent company is his own job, as for the county, that virtual subordinate is a false title, except for the independent company under his own command, he can't command anyone.

Today's busy expropriation, all the magistrates on the land are in full swing, but he, the magistrate, doesn't know where to start.

He didn't even have a boat of his own, and if he wanted to go to sea, he had to borrow a fishing boat, and even the fisherman said, "Why is the county magistrate still on my boat?" This is the first time in my life that this has happened. ”

Of course, he knows who is behind it! But although he has always dared to make his own claims, this time he didn't dare to fight with Ye Yudie.

The reason is very simple, for an island county like Yuhuan, whoever controls the water is the king, and Ye Niangzi's current fleet has expanded again.

In particular, her Ziwei Star, with the two twelve-pounder Cullen cannons on board, has recently defeated many pirate ships that heard that Ge Wu died in battle and tried to pick up cheap, and controlled the entire ocean from Wenzhou to Yuhuan, making Ye Niangzi famous.

In this case, Fu Wendao couldn't think of a perfect way to deal with Ye Niangzi, not to mention that Ye Yudie was still a woman who checked the point, and with such a heavy identity protection, some killer features could not be used.

It's just that when Fu Wendao couldn't think of a way, Ye Niangzi actually brought someone to find him, and as soon as Ye Niangzi met, she said coldly: "I have something to ask you to help with, if you do it well, I can let the inspection point give you a little sweetness." ”

Fu Wendao couldn't help but be surprised, this fox spirit came to the door to worship the chicken, and he didn't have any good intentions!
