These horsemen are indeed good news, when they entered the city, even the people and horses were sweating, but they were non-stop, announcing the latest news to everyone: "Yun Si Qinglian Lao Daotai is strategizing in Fucheng, and has transferred 30,000 elite soldiers to rescue Ruian!" ”

"Please rest assured, 30,000 elite soldiers will be able to break the thieves under Ruian City, and there will be all the military merits and promotions at that time!"

Their shouting reassured everyone, it seems that Ruian City has been saved, but there are also people who know the inside story and whispered: "Where are 30,000 elite soldiers from our house, and it is already thankful that we can transfer 10,000 reinforcements!" ”

This is also the case, Sun Qiangming asked as soon as he saw them: "How many reinforcements have Yunsi and Daotai sent to rescue our Ruian, don't say 30,000 elite soldiers, that can only deceive those invincible people!" ”

These light horsemen knelt on the ground on one side, and reported to Sun Qiangming and all the adults present: "Sun Hanlin, Lord Zhixian, Lord Adjutant General, this rescue of Ruian, Yun Si personally commanded the troops, Zhentai and Futai were all present in their formations, leaving only Daotai to stay in Fucheng!" ”

This luxurious lineup knows how determined Qing Lian is: "There are a total of 3,700 soldiers in this reinforcement, including 600 elites just sent by Chuzhou Town, and they have been transferred to support as soon as they arrive in Fucheng!" ”

This is almost all the mobile forces that Qinglian can scavenge, as far as the current situation is concerned, the three associations under the jurisdiction of Wenzhou Town, the Yueqing Association has been wiped out, the Pingyang Association wants to counterattack the county, and the Ruian Association is in Ruian City, not a single soldier can be drawn, and at the same time to stay in the city to garrison soldiers, Qinglian can piece together 3,700 soldiers, which is already commendable.

The reason why he would rather sacrifice the city defense of Fucheng and send so many reinforcements out was the advice of the chief soldier Ye Bingzhong.

Previously, two groups of soldiers in Wenzhou Town crossed the river and were broken by the Red Turban Army, and the damage was great, and Ye Bingzhong's experience was summed up: "The enemy is outnumbered, there are too many thieves, and there are too few soldiers, and there are no soldiers who can break the thieves!" ”

According to him, Chi Jiangong's 700 soldiers had the upper hand, but the Red Turban Army advanced one after another, attacking more than ten times before and after, and each time investing two or three thousand troops, which finally led to defeat, and the thieves in Panshi Village were more numerous, and when the Qing army rushed to the wall, hundreds of people with real long hair led more than 10,000 new red turban thieves to kill behind the back, resulting in the collapse of the soldiers.

It is precisely because of this experience that Qing Lian transferred 3,700 soldiers: "Our soldiers fought with the thieves, and even if the thieves rushed across my battalion and team, they still did not cause the whole army to be defeated!" ”

This is an attempt to use the thickness and depth of the force to resist the impact of the Red Turban Army, especially Liu Jiehu, Ye Bingzhong assured Qing Lian: "Three thousand seven hundred soldiers are brave, enough to have six or seven queues, no matter how brave Liu Jiehu is, after all, he can only rush through one or two queues of me." ”

However, these 3,700 soldiers definitely gave Sun Qiangming great confidence: "With the help of 4,000 troops led by Yun Si himself, Ruicheng is foolproof!" ”

It's just that Mr. Qian, who came to report the news, still knelt on the ground, raised his hand and said: "Sun Hanlin, there is still something to report to Hanlin, offended!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Sun Qiangming had a bad premonition in his heart: "What's the matter?" ”

This Qian always shouted: "Bring Kang Zhengji's head!" ”

"Yueqing County ordered Kang Zhengji to defend the land, but he abandoned the city without a fight, and fled away from Qingtian, resulting in the erosion of the overall situation, the crime is unforgivable, and the whole county is cut off!"

Mr. Qian's words were very powerful, Xu Muqian next to him couldn't help wiping his forehead, and Kang Zhengji's head was already in Mr. Qian's hand, pouring out the terrifying power to everyone.

"This time the red scarf happened, the whole county was eroded, and the first evildoer, Qu Zhenhai, was also!" This Qian Zong has already raised his head: "But the people who stirred up the rebellion, the culprit is really three people!" The general, the deputy general Yao, does not repair the army in peacetime, harms the township, the army has no fighting spirit, and he is harmed by thieves, so he is exempt from accountability! ”

"For civil officials, for the county magistrate Kang Zhengji, usually levied and extorted, did things unfairly, and abandoned the city without a fight, causing the fall of Lecheng, the crime is unforgivable, cut off, and spread the head of the whole county!"

Then this Qian Zong stared at Sun Qiangming deadly: "Xu Muqian is also a troublemaker in the countryside, indiscriminately donating and losing, extorting excessively, and rampant in the township, so Yun Si asked Sun Hanlin, do you want to protect Ruicheng, or do you want to protect Xu Muqian alone?" ”

At this critical time, Qinglian had to throw out a few scapegoats, and Xu Muqian was already frightened: "Father-in-law, wronged, wronged, I swear to stand with the red thief!" ”

Mr. Qian took a step forward: "Hanlin, do you want to protect Rui Safe City, or do you want to protect Xu Muqian alone!" ”

"This is my family!" Sun Qiangming howled sadly in the bottom of his heart: "Yunsi, you are going to roast me on the fire!" ”

He knew that his in-laws were angry in Yueqing, and at least half of the reason for the Red Turban Army's uprising was to crusade against him, but he never thought of dealing with Xu Muqian.

But Qinglian ruthlessly put this matter on the table and forced him to make a choice.

"Hanlin, do you want to protect Rui Safe City, or do you want to protect Xu Muqian alone?"

"That's it!" was forced to such a point, Sun Qiangming smiled bitterly, but said to Xu Muqian: "In-laws, I'm sorry!" ”

"Lock Xu Muqian!"

When everyone thought that Sun Qiangming was going to kill his relatives in righteousness, they heard him shout: "This is my flesh and blood relatives, I am just a savage in the township, I dare not deal with it, please know the county lord to judge the case!" ”

Qinglian wanted him to cut through the mess quickly, and immediately beheaded Xu Muqian, the culprit, to save the hearts of the army and the people, but he didn't expect Sun Qiangming to still want to go back to protect his in-laws and play Tai Chi.

Sun Hanlin didn't kill his own family, everyone immediately understood his intentions, and while disappointed, they also understood that Sun Qiangming's heart was still more towards his own clan, so the county knew that killing Xu Muqian was the best policy, but he also said: "This matter is important, and it is beyond the discretion of the county, so I can't help but hand Xu Muqian over to Shangfeng for disposal." ”

Qinglian wanted to kill Xu Muqian Liwei, and Sun Qiangming knew that once he arrived in Fucheng, he would be more auspicious: "Okay, escort Xu Muqian to Hangcheng and hand it over to He Futai for disposal." ”

Everyone understood his intentions, and they didn't say anything, but the atmosphere suddenly became embarrassing.

Xu Muqian came back to his senses, and he arched his hand towards Sun Qiangming: "In-laws, don't make it difficult for you!" I, Xu, was born in Wenzhou, grew up in Wenzhou, and don't want to die in a foreign land, so it's not bad to die in this Ruian! ”

He smiled: "Yun Si wants to deal with me, you can't protect me!" I and the Red Turban Thief are the enmity of your life and death, it is better to die vigorously! In-laws, I ask you for an errand? ”

"What errand?" Sun Qiangming felt that things were out of his control.

"Liu Jiehu has vicious intentions, and now the gate of Ruicheng has been opened, but the thieves must pass through Hai'an, let me lead the group to defend Hai'an City!"

Hai'an is another ancient city in Ruian in addition to the county seat, with a radius of several miles, and it is being stranded on the main road of the Red Turban Army to the south.

Since Liu Chang used the strategy of the Yellow Flag on the tree, many of the most stubborn leaders of the White Cloth Society were neither able to resist the soldiers of the Red Turban Army, nor willing to put the Yellow Flag on the tree, so they retreated into Hai'an City, and now there are hundreds of White Cloth Groups in Hai'an City, but they are not subordinate to each other, and there is a lack of a strong man to lead them.

Xu Muqian knew that Hai'an was almost the last line of defense before Ruian County, and guarding Hai'an was a situation of nine deaths and nine lives, but he still smiled: "In-laws, if you can do this, I don't regret marrying my daughter to your family!" ”

He continued: "There has to be someone to lead the team to guard Hai'an, and I will block the red turban thief for you, at least it can be delayed for a day or two, maybe we can come back alive to eat our grandson's full year wine!" ”

He is a candidate who meets the requirements, but Sun Qiangming said: "Let's go to Hangzhou, right?" ”

Xu Mulian looked down on life and death: "Hey...... Wrong is wrong, you can't be wrong again and again! My father-in-law, pull out my 100 regiments of bravery, and I'll leave immediately! ”

He also said in parting: "I have already contacted you about Taiyong!" You must do this yourself, don't have an accident! ”

……

"Xu Muqian is in Hai'an City?" Qu Zhenhan almost jumped up: "Then let's settle the new debts and old debts together!" ”

The villagers who reported the news had a grudge against the Sun family: "That's right, Xu Muqian just brought a hundred Baibu Township into Hai'an Town!" ”

Qu Zhenhan said with a smile: "This time I want to avenge Vice Marshal Ni, hurry up and invite Liu Checkpoint, I'm afraid I will use a dragon lance whistle this time!" ”

After Liu Chang understood the situation a little, he asked: "How many soldiers are there in Hai'an City?" ”
