Chapter 966: Fuzhou

Hearing that the rebels had left Anping, Wang Yin immediately ordered a pursuit. Lu Tai, the commander-in-chief of the naval division, led 5,000 elite soldiers and dozens of warships to go ashore at Anping Wharf and invaded Anping City.

The huge Anping City was empty, only green smoke.

"Chief soldier, I found it!" Han Qingxing, who was guarding the hundred households, rushed to Lu Tai and said happily.

Lu Tai perked up and waved his hand: "Lead the way, take a look!" ”

In a granary near the wharf, Lu Tai saw many wooden boxes placed on the spot. Within four or five warehouses, there were no less than five or six hundred large boxes.

Han Qing took it upon himself to pry open one of the boxes, and the glittering gold coins came into view, Lu Tai grabbed a handful and put it in front of him, each gold coin was engraved with the appearance of an eagle, he knew that this was the Eagle Yang of the Franc Machine.

A few more chests were pried open, each containing silver ingots. It was Chen Mo's seizure in Anping City.

Looking at the boxes piled up in the warehouse, Lu Tai knew that every box was full of gold and silver, and there were millions of taels of gold and silver hidden in four or five warehouses! It was Lu Tai, who was in the high position of the general army, and he was dizzy when he saw so much wealth at once.

With great perseverance pulling his eyes out of the silver box, Lu Tai turned around and left the warehouse.

"Seal them all up and put them on board!"

Seeing Lu Tai leave like this, Han Qing was a little anxious, and hurriedly chased after him, and whispered: "The chief soldier ......"

Lu Taihuo Ran turned around: "What do you want to do?" Do you know that every bite of the box is recorded in Chen Mo? Hundreds of pairs of eyes in the military pacification division are also staring here, if you dare to reach out, someone will cut off your hand in less than three days! ”

Han Qing was frightened: "I didn't, the villain didn't dare!" ”

On Xiamen Island, Wang Yin carefully looked at the account book sent by Lu Tai, carefully compared it with the other account book placed in front of him, and finally nodded with satisfaction.

Zheng Yang, a staff member on the side, said with a smile: "Although you can rest assured, General Lu Tai still knows the severity. ”

Wang Yin smiled slightly: "This is a wealth of nearly 10 million taels of silver, how many big things can be done?" You can't be too careful!

It's not that Lu Tai knows the severity, but the supervision system set up by King Qi single-handedly eliminates the possibility of corruption. Although Lu Tai is the chief soldier, he only has the right to command, military salaries, and supervision are not in his hands, and there are hundreds of officers and soldiers in the battalion staring at him, where does he dare to stretch out his hand? ”

"It's still King Qi Yingming!" Zheng Yang praised, and the words changed: "My lord, Chen Mo led people to leave Anping, are we just here to do nothing?" ”

Wang Yin said with a smile: "Don't move, don't leave the two islands of Kinmen and Xiamen before the Zheng Jiajun is completely reorganized!" ”

......

In Fuzhou City, the news that the rebels had attacked from Quanzhou came, and the whole city was in a panic. The members of the three divisions of Fujian gathered together to supervise the division and asked the new supervisor Zuo Maodi to come up with a way.

Zuo Maodi showed a wry smile on his face: "Ladies and gentlemen, the rebel army is pressing, Zheng Zongbing's 70,000 army is defeated, Zheng Zongbing is killed by thieves, and now there are only less than 10,000 troops in Fuzhou City in the whole of Fujian, what can I do?" ”

Hu Mao, the political envoy of Fujian, hurriedly said: "Lord Zhongcheng, don't forget that we still have an army." ”

Before Zuo Maodi could reply, Governor Qian Fenglin said: "Master Hu, what are you talking about is the sailor led by Inspector Wang?" Since Inspector Wang took the sailor south, there has been no news for more than half a month......"

"Ahh The officials in the hall were dumbfounded.

Originally, he expected the sailor to be able to rush back in time to relieve the siege of Fuzhou, but now it seems that he can't count on it at all. Many officials can't help but think of the rumors circulating in the officialdom that Wang Yin, the former governor, is the backstage of the rebels, and he is the one who controls the rebels. In that case, how can it bring back its troops?

"Wang Yin traitor, I have long seen that he is in a group with the rebels!" Hu Mao, the political envoy, scolded, "Such a good situation in Fujian is only corrupted because Wang Yin and he appeased Ai Nengqi without authorization." Now he has his own troops and does not listen to the dispatch, he and the rebels are in a group! ”

With Hu Mao's scolding, other officials in the hall also let out desperate scolding, scolding Wang Yin. Originally, in front of the superintendent Zuo Maodi, they would not have lost their temper so much, but now that the rebel army is approaching, the city of Fuzhou is in danger, if the rebels attack the city, none of them can escape, who can take care of so much in despair?

Zuo Maodi sat in the hall, listening to the hysterical catharsis of these officials, and he could understand their feelings.

In the plan, these officials are all sacrifices, sacrifices thrown to the rebels!

"Lord Zhongcheng, you have to come up with a solution?" In the midst of the scolding, Qian Fenglin suddenly said, and the hall suddenly fell silent.

Zuo Maodi was embarrassed and said, "What can I do at this time?" ”

Qian Fenglin hurriedly said: "Mobilize troops!" Fujian does not have an army, but neighboring Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Guangdong do! You are the Governor of the Southeast, and you have the right to control the armies of the four provinces! ”

Zuo Maodi hesitated: "I'm afraid it's too late to transfer troops now, it will take time for the army to assemble and enter Fujian, and the troops of the provinces have just returned to their own provinces, I'm afraid they don't want to come again." ”

Qian Fenglin said: "Zhongcheng, you are the Southeast Governor, as long as you go to transfer troops in person, who dares not to listen?" Zhongcheng, Xia Guan suggested that you immediately take a boat to Hangzhou and send the nearest Zhejiang soldiers to help. ”

Zuo Maodi shook his head: "No, what should I do if I go to Fuzhou?" As the Governor of the Southeast, I can't leave my post without permission! ”

Qian Fenglin was anxious: "Lord Zhongcheng, you are the governor of the southeast, not the governor of Fujian. Go ahead, there are me and all of you in this Fuzhou City! There are more than 10,000 troops in the city of Fuzhou, and I will gather the squires and people in the city to help defend the city, and there should be no problem in defending the city for a month or two. ”

Listening to Qian Fenglin's words, the other officials seemed to see hope, and persuaded Zuo Maodi to go to Hangzhou immediately to transfer troops, so Zuo Maodi could only reluctantly agree and reluctantly left Fuzhou by boat.

Zuo Mao was the first to go, and many officials came back to their senses.

"No, as soon as the overseer leaves, won't he leave us to the rebels? It is rumored that Governor Qian had a close relationship with Wang Yin's dog thieves, and he must have been connected with the rebels. As soon as Governor Zuo left, Governor Qian was alone in this Fuzhou city, if he cooperated with the rebels, could this Fuzhou still be defended? ”

The political envoy of the Yamen, the prefect of Fuzhou quietly visited the political envoy Hu Mao and said quietly.

Hu Mao suddenly frowned: "What can I do about it?" ”

The military power of Fuzhou is in the hands of Governor Qian Fenglin, if Qian Fenglin surrenders to thieves, others have no way at all.

"There's no way, our fate is in the hands of Governor Qian. If you want to survive, you can only hold Governor Qian's thigh. Since the rebels are manipulated behind Wang Yin's back, and they can't get out of it with King Qi, let's hold on to Governor Qian's thighs, and we won't lose a shortcut to the sky! ”
