"This is the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang and the governor of Fujian?" The green camp in the city did not have much will to resist, so Chen Jialuo could sit in the governor's palace and look at the big fish caught by the soldiers with great interest.

Su Chang and Dingchang are both full of nobles, and they have seen Fukangan a few times before, and at this time, they couldn't help but be surprised to see Chen Jialuo and Fukangan's faces so similar, and vaguely remembered some rumors they had heard before, which was going to scold the enemy chief angrily for a while.

It's boring, I was thinking to see if the two of them would beg for mercy in pain, but I didn't expect to meet two stupid people, Chen Jialuo waved his hand, "Take it down and lock it up!" Be careful not to let them die, and in the future, it will depend on how much money the court is willing to spend on them! ”

"Chief helmsman, the troops attacking the city have encountered a little trouble!" A soldier hurried in to report.

"Oh? What happened? Could it be that these miscellaneous pieces still dare to resist stubbornly? Chen Jialuo was a little surprised, could it be that the Eight Banners warriors of my Great Qing Dynasty really broke out in the small universe?

"It's not! They sent messengers to discuss with us about surrender! "They said that they were willing to pay the ransom according to the last market, and the city was willing to let them out, but they just wanted to ask us to allow them to leave with their property, otherwise they would rather burn the city with a fire!" ”

"I want to get it!" , Chen Jialuo sneered, "Didn't their family property be snatched from our Han people?" Pay a little money and want to leave with the money? What a sweet dream! Pass the order down and get them to surrender unconditionally. ”

After saying that, Chen Jialuo followed the soldiers to Mancheng, humming a little song in his mouth as he walked, "I took mine and gave it back to me, and I vomited it out after eating mine", and when I arrived at the place, I saw a layer of Eight Banners soldiers crowded on the city wall, and the soldiers of the Red Flower Society not far from the city raised their rifles and confronted them. "Where is the messenger? Bring me to say a few words with him? ”

"The slave greets the helmsman of Chen!". A middle-aged man with a small melon skin hat knelt in front of Chen Jialuo and kowtowed respectfully, "The slave is General Xinzhu's butler, and this time I came to visit Chief Chen at the order of the general; The general of my family knows that your association is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, so he asks the chief helmsman to let us go for the sake of our deference! ”

"He means to pay the ransom as last time and then I'll let you go?" , Chen Jialuo sat down and asked.

"Yes, the Shogun has already prepared the silver. As long as the chief helmsman agrees, we will send the silver out, and immediately withdraw from Fuzhou and go north to Zhejiang! A glimmer of hope ignited in the butler's heart.

"Isn't he afraid that I won't admit it when I get the money? Besides, how much silver should this Fuzhou general pay for the ransom? Chen Jialuo asked with a smile.

"This minion has already been clear, according to your last calculation, the ransom of my family is more than 20,000 taels! The silver is ready! In addition, my family has also prepared a small gift for you, the chief helmsman, and I hope to accept it with a smile! The housekeeper hurriedly took out a gift slip from his arms, raised his hands above his head and handed it to Chen Jialuo.

"More than 20,000 taels is a bit less, right?" Chen Jialuo took the gift list and put it aside without looking at it, "I will have to buy a position for a four-grade Daotai in the Qing Dynasty for sixteen thousand four hundred taels!" Your adult is a first-class person, and I only collected more than 20,000 taels, isn't it a bad market? It's not proper, it's not proper, others will scold me if it spreads! ”

Do you have the ability to spend money to buy me a first-class official? The butler complained in his heart, but his face became more and more respectful, "What do you mean, chief helmsman?" ”

"What do I mean, when do you still want to bargain?" , Chen Jialuo's voice cooled down, and he slapped the table and stood up and shouted. "Give you another quarter of an hour, and all the people in the city will come out and surrender unconditionally! I pledge your lives. After a quarter of an hour, before you surrender, we will open fire! ”

"Chief helmsman! Please give us a way to live! The housekeeper was shocked when he heard this, and immediately kowtowed and begged.

"Start the timer! Attack in a quarter of an hour, you don't waste time kowtowing here! Before Chen Jialuo finished speaking, someone immediately held a table clock and put it on the table, and the soldier said expressionlessly after putting the table clock. It's a moment in time, and it's time to start attacking right now! ”

At that moment, the butler didn't care to talk much, and immediately got up from the ground and ran all over the city with all his strength. A quarter of an hour later, just as the Red Flower Society was about to open fire, the gates of the city creaked open, and Xinzhu walked out with the eight banners residents of the city raising their weapons above their heads and lining up in a long line.

After entering the city and eliminating a small wave of recalcitrant Tartars. The whole of Fuzhou fell into the hands of the Red Flower Society. Thousands of Eight Banners in the city were imprisoned in the prisoner camp. As for their next fate, it depends on whether the Qing court is willing to spend money.

Fuzhou had fallen into the hands of the Red Flower Society, and Quanzhou was recovered a day later, Huang Shijian died in the rebellion, and the Red Flower Society began to capture several other provinces in Fujian non-stop, while Zhejiang, Guangdong, Jiangxi and other surrounding provinces received strict orders from the imperial court and began to gather troops to prepare to invade Fujian.

In this regard, the Red Flower Society had already made a plan, and the navy immediately divided its troops into two routes after recovering Quanzhou, all the way north to Hangzhou and all the way south to Guangzhou; As for the 60,000 troops of the Land Red Flower Society, they can teach the Tartar army from Jiangxi to behave in minutes.

Su Changquan led the fleet into the Pearl River, easily defeated the Qing court sailors who came out of the formation to block the blockade, and then bombarded the city of Guangzhou. Zhejiang's reaction was faster than Guangdong's, and Li Kexiu, the commander of Zhejiang's land and water forces, was originally reluctant to fight with the Red Flower Society, and immediately gathered his troops as soon as he received the news that a large number of Red Flower Society warships had appeared on the sea in Zhejiang. Since then, the reinforcements from Zhejiang and Guangdong have not yet set off and have been pulled back by the Red Flower Society.

The battleship bombarded the city of Guangzhou, this time 80 years earlier than in history! Fortunately, this time it is my fleet, and I hope that one day the Chinese warships will go to the Thames River, so that I can cross it again! Chen Jialuo said in his heart after receiving the news.

A month later, the entire Qing army in Fujian was swept away by the Red Flower Society, and the reinforcements from Jiangxi were also defeated by the Red Flower Society. Chen Jialuo found a familiar name when he checked the list of prisoners, "Huh? How could he also be a prisoner? This man is a good administrator, and it would be of great benefit to me if he could accept it. (To be continued......)
