Jinzhou, Beiling Wharf.

"These dogs, who collect so much money from us on weekdays, but now they turn their faces and don't recognize people, do you really think that the Fan family is so easy to bully?"

Fan Ping said with a gloomy face.

He was the shopkeeper of the Fan family's business in Jinzhou, and during this time, almost all of their merchant ships were seized by the sailors at sea, and even one was sunk because of resistance, and the original Denglai sailors were collaborators with them to a certain extent. The Jin merchants procured grain from Jiangnan in the name of transporting it to the Shandong region of Zhili, and then transferred it to Niuzhuang, Gaizhou or Jinzhou under the ignorance of the Denglai sailors, to supply the Manchu Qing who were desperately short of food due to the severe cold climate, and the Manchus paid them with the gold and silver they had looted in the past, and they gave some of it to the Denglai sailors and bribed the court officials, especially the local officials in the Xuanda area of Shanxi to maintain the land smuggling line, and even the latter themselves had shares in their firms as collaborators.

But now it's all messed up!

First of all, after Li Zicheng controlled Xuanda, Shanxi's trade route out of Zhangjiakou through Xuanhua was controlled by him, and the transportation of this route was temporarily suspended, especially after Li Zicheng and Dolgon fought for Shanhaiguan, the Shun army that stayed in Xuanda strictly forbade the smuggling of this route.

Then the Denlai Marines also suddenly changed their attitude from collaborators to hostile ones, and really carried out the coastal blockade that they had never strictly enforced.

Pieces of sail are not allowed to go to sea.

The entire Liaodong coast and even the mouth of the Yalu River were all blocked by Huang Fei's navy, all the merchant ships in and out of the country, no matter who owned, no matter what the previous relationship was, all of them were seized with people and ships, and the rebels were directly and mercilessly sunk, the Fan family as the boss of the Jin merchants can be said to have suffered heavy losses, all trade with the Manchu Qing Dynasty was stagnant, and there was no time for it to recover, and after Li Zicheng defeated Dolgon and completely controlled the north, I am afraid that they would never be allowed to transport any materials to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it was Li Zicheng's inevitable choice to trap the Manchu Qing Dynasty, He couldn't have tolerated the Jin Shang sponsoring his enemies, so unless Dolgon was able to defeat Li Zicheng, the collapse of the Jin Shang was an inevitable consequence.

It's unbearable!

"Third Master, what should we do?"

A young man beside him asked cautiously.

He still had whip marks on his body, which he had just been caught by the sailor two days earlier, but fortunately he still had some way to go in the sailor, and finally the warship that held him behind him was patrolling the sea off Jinzhou, and then he floated back with the plank he had also thrown down.

"What should I do?"

Fan Ping said helplessly: "Please God bless Dolgon to defeat Li Zicheng!" ”

"Third master, a ship is coming!"

Suddenly, a guy in front of him ran over and shouted.

Fan Ping immediately raised his head, and on the dark Xiaoling River in front of him, a little light came slowly, and the sea water that poured into the rising tide gradually became clearer, and the merchant flag on the ship also became clearer and clearer......

"It's our ship!"

The young man said excitedly.

The flag under the light was faintly a model word.

"It's hard for them!"

Fan Ping said with a hint of relief.

Indeed, it is not easy for this ship to pass the blockade of the Denglai sailors, although the return of a ship cannot change the situation of the Fan family, but it is also a good sign, he walked forward to the dock, looking at the merchant ship that is getting closer and closer, although it feels a little strange, including the sailors on the deck, they have never seen it, but many of this kind of cargo ships are actually hired at the place of origin, and the flag of the Fan family only means that this is the goods of the Fan family, and it is not strange that he does not know it.

"Which one is Fan Sanye?"

Said a young man on deck with an eye patch who didn't look good.

"Below, where did the brothers come from, and who in the Fan family will escort them on the ship?"

Fan Ping smiled with a smile.

The man nodded in satisfaction.

At this time, the merchant ship docked, surrounded by dozens of sailors, he staggered down and walked in front of Fan Ping, and then looked him up and down with a smile, Fan Ping was also an old fox, and immediately felt that something was wrong, although the expression on his face did not change, but he quietly sent a signal with his fingers, and the dozens of guys behind him quickly separated to the sides and pressed the handle of the knife with their hands.

Of course, this is completely unnecessary.

Because behind him is the Qing army's barracks at Beiling Wharf, the establishment is a Niu Lu, just to reinforce Tunqi, Niu Lu has been ordered to go south, Jinzhou originally only had 8,000 garrisons, before Wu Sangui abandoned Ningyuan, divided 2,000 people to the south to station in Ningyuan, and then Ai Duli took 4,000, together with Ning Yuan's 1,000 with Azig south, in fact, there are still 2,000 left in Jinzhou. But after the death of Azig, Adoli was trapped in Shanhaiguan, Tunqi retreated to the front post, in order to reinforce him, the Jinzhou defenders cobbled together a thousand people to go south, in fact, the entire Jinzhou garrison still had a thousand people left, and there were only thirty Eight Banner Han soldiers in the military camp at Beiling Wharf, but twenty of them returned to the city, after all, they only collected taxes, and the sea was blocked and a fart tax was collected, of course, they took the opportunity to go back to find a woman!

However, ten Qing troops were enough.

Fan Ping looked at the man indifferently.

The latter suddenly laughed.

He smiled so sincerely and brightly that Fan Ping was a little dazzled, as if this smile filled his vision......

Well, he's not dazzled.

Because this guy suddenly jumped forward, like a galloping war horse, with his smiling face hit Fan Ping's chest at a speed of twenty meters per second, at the moment of impact Fan Ping even clearly felt the breaking of his ribs, and then flew out upside down like a small boat thrown by a huge wave, smashing to the ground with blood spurting out of his mouth, almost the moment he landed, the sole of a cowhide boot stepped on his face, which was the last thing he saw in his sight.

"Fan Ping, why don't you call it a cheap!"

Yang Qing, the COS pirate captain with a black eye patch, said with a look of disdain.

The next moment, he crashed into the Qing army camp behind Fan Ping like a rhinoceros, and with the power of running wildly, he instantly squeezed into the two Qing soldiers who should be standing guard, cut their throats with two knives in his hand, and then slammed open the nearest door and rushed into the gambling room, and jumped up in the stunned gaze of those Qing soldiers and instantly squatted on the gambling table, and then twisted his body, and the double knives swept around his body with a bloody light, and on the dock behind him, those guys of the Fan family, The archers who suddenly appeared on the deck fell one after another......

Half a minute later.

"Come, buy big or buy small? If you lose, you lose your life! ”

Yang Qing at the gambling table pressed the dice cup and said to the only remaining Qing army officer alive.

The latter looked at the demon with a shudder.

"Buy small!"

Then he gritted his teeth and said.

"Open, eh?"

Yang Qing, who opened the dice cup, looked at the points in amazement.

"Won, I'll win!"

The officer shouted happily.

Then Yang Qing raised his foot and kicked him over, and then jumped down, and swung the double knife in his hand a few times at a very fast speed, but before the poor officer could react, all the tendons and tendons were cut off by him.

"You won, willing to lose!"

Yang Qing withdrew his double knives and said sincerely.

The Qing army officer on the ground looked at him with sad and angry eyes, and then kept screaming, and then Yang Qing stepped on him.

At this time, the battle outside had ended, and a hundred elite soldiers of the Shun army easily killed all the Fan guys on the dock in a surprise attack, and even several other businesses that stayed here were all killed, Yang Qing walked to the dock with dead bodies everywhere, raised a lantern and waved it slowly in mid-air. Soon, countless lights were lit up at the mouth of the Xiaoling River downstream, and the sailor warships full of soldiers docked almost silently at the dock in the dim light, like a group of strange giant beasts, pushed by the tide, and those elite soldiers and the war horses on the ship landed one after another.

"Let's go!"

Yang Qing waved his hand and said.

He then jumped onto Fan Ping's horse, and the first soldiers gathered behind him mounted their horses and galloped away with him in the direction of Jinzhou, and only a quarter of an hour later the famous fortress appeared in front of him.

Yang Qing raised his hand.

The steady stream of cavalry in the back immediately stopped.

And he jumped off his horse, and under the cover of night, he went straight to the city of Jinzhou on foot, and behind him a steady stream of cavalry arrived, hiding among the woods on the banks of the Xiaoling River under the cover of night.

And Yang Qing quickly swam across the moat, like a ghost appeared in front of the Yong'an Gate at the south gate of Jinzhou, he clinged to the city wall and listened carefully to the various sounds above his head, to make sure that there was no patrolling Qing army above, and then without hesitation threw out the city climber he had prepared a long time ago, the sound of rough wood falling on the city wall came, he listened quietly again, and finally after making sure that there was nothing abnormal, he climbed the rope and climbed the city wall in a blink of an eye. A city that is narrow in the south and wide in the north, straight and bent in the west, instantly appeared in front of him, he lowered his head without the slightest hesitation, and rushed to the standing city tower at the fastest speed, several patrolling Qing soldiers lazily walked out of it, and before they could react, Yang Qing had already crashed into the middle of them with a vicious wind, and the double knives cut their throats with extreme speed.

In the painful convulsions of these Qing soldiers, he instantly rushed into the city tower, and only less than five minutes later, he walked out with a blood-dripping double knife, and then walked straight down the city wall, opened the bolt of the city gate, poured some oil on the door shaft, and slowly opened it.

Immediately after that was the gate of the city of Weng.

Once all the gates had been opened, he returned to the walls, picked up a torch and waved it in mid-air.

"Kill!"

Li Laiheng, who was outside the city, put down the telescope and roared, and then without hesitation, he picked up the cone gun and pointed at Jinzhou, which was open at the city gate, and then he urged the war horse under his crotch, and the more than 1,000 cavalry who had completed the assembly behind him also urged the war horse, with the thunderous hooves of trampling the ground, surging forward like a torrent of breaking embankments. And on the river beside them, small warships full of infantry also rushed forward by the tide, and all the sailors on the deck looked at the dark Jinzhou City like a shining golden city with high excitement.

In front of them, a dark shadow stood in the center of the city of Yong'anmen, and in front of him a drawbridge was slowly lowering......
