The general of the Qing army responsible for escorting grain and grass was Kong Xigui, the general soldier of Hebei, who was originally the general soldier of Jizhou in the last years of Chongzhen, and surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty after Jianyi entered the customs, and was also listed in the "Biography of Erchen".

This time to escort the grain ship, it was Dolgon who personally explained that he must ensure that the grain is transported to Lianghuai, and he did not dare to slack off, and brought all the elites of his subordinates over.

Most of the entire escort routes were very safe, but only one in Shandong made him fearful, especially after entering the Yanzhou boundary, he became even more worried.

Because this place is too close to Shouzhou, the Yuyuan thieves can cross to the edge of the canal with their legs, and if this thief army is eyeing the grain carrier, then his situation will be a little difficult to say.

After the fleet entered the Yanzhou territory, Kong Xigui became cautious.

At this time, he looked up at the sky, it was almost sunset, and he couldn't help but turn around and ask, "How far is Kaiheyi?" ”

The bow of the boat, which was familiar with the situation of the canal, hurriedly replied: "General, just past Yuanjiakou, ten miles to the south is the Kaihe Station. ”

After the opening of the river post is on the horse on the lake, Nanwang Lake, even if the thief soldiers, the fleet can also hide in the lake, and then south is Jining Prefecture, this place is an important node of Caoyun, there are heavy troops stationed, he is absolutely safe.

Kong Xigui immediately shouted: "Let the slender man speed up, and he must cross the Kaihe Post before dark, so that the brothers can cheer up the general." ”

The Grand Canal runs through the north and south, passing through the state along the way, and the state capitals in various places will naturally not let go of a road that continues to make money, so all the state capitals have set up relevant cards on the canal to collect fees.

Kaiheyi is a tax card for ships entering Yanzhou from Jining Prefecture, and ships entering and leaving Yanzhou have to pay money.

The transportation was cut off, there were no ships coming over from the south of the Yangtze River, and the ships on the entire canal were scarce a lot, and there were only about 200 cargo ships inside and outside the locks of the Kaihe Station, which was too far away from the usual thousands of cargo ships crowding the river.

There were more than 50 tax collectors and tax collectors guarding the Kaihe Post, but because of the reduction of boats and the lack of oil and water, they also looked listless and lacked enthusiasm.

At this time, several tax collectors were hooking a cargo ship with a long pole and pulling it to the shore, and the tax collector jumped on the boat and began to check.

The cargo ship is mainly acquainted, so you can also collect less, good tea, give him the standard of ordinary coarse tea, if you don't know each other, coarse tea will also be used as good tea for you.

The tax collector jumped on the boat, and the owner immediately greeted him with a smile on his face, and inadvertently a money bag was stuffed into the tax collector's hand, and the tax collector was very satisfied, and the two of them smiled.

The good silk on this ship, the tax collector collected taxes according to the ordinary cotton cloth, and the shipowner saved a lot, which was a win-win good thing, and it was only the Qing Dynasty's finances that suffered.

At this time, the tax collector had collected the tax money, and was about to go ashore to let him go, but he had barely taken half a step when he suddenly stopped, and not only was his eyes full of horror, but his legs and feet were also swinging.

Some people turned their heads to look at the frightened gaze of the tax collector, only to see a military flag suddenly appear on the embankment, and then a prancing horse carrying a gun climbed the embankment, and slowly, countless figures wrapped in red scarves gradually appeared on both sides of him.

Kong Xigui urged the slender man to pull the boat hard, and when the sun was setting, he stood on the bow of the boat, and finally saw the open river post in the distance.

A wooden gate stretched out of the canal, closed and nearly a hundred cargo ships were parked on either side of the canal, leaving a waterway in the middle for them to navigate.

Kong Xigui saw this slight difference, and he had passed a lot of tax cards along the way, but it was not as congested as here.

But at this time, he didn't think much about it, and when he saw Kaiheyi, he sighed slightly, so he turned back to the boatman and said, "Shake it over, and rest after the card." ”

After taking the rope, the slender man retracted the rope on the shore, and a hundred ships swung forward from the waterway between the cargo ships on both sides, and slowly arrived at the water gate, and the people on the cargo ships around them wore hats and bowed their heads and were silent.

Kong Xigui stood at the bow of the boat, and did not find anything wrong, he saw a few people standing on the water gate, so he shouted loudly: "Open the water gate, I will escort the grain and grass by fate, and I will pass the card today!" ”

He belongs to the official ship of the imperial court, and the local tax card naturally has no right to collect taxes, he can be unimpeded, and the civilian ships must give way.

Kong Xigui finished shouting, but the water gate did not open, and the people above did not give a reaction, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and the Qian Zong next to him immediately scolded: "Are the people above deaf?" Our commander-in-chief asked you to open the water gate! ”

As soon as Mr. Qian's words fell, a string suddenly sounded on the water gate, and a wolf's tooth arrow came with a bang.

Kong Xigui didn't react, so he snorted, took a few steps back, and the arrow hit him in the chest, fortunately, he was a general, and his armor was better than that of a soldier, and the arrow did not pierce his chest.

On the water gate, Li Huajing set up arrows again, which was a signal for the ambushed Yuyuan army, and a row of archers suddenly stood up on the water gate, and a rain of arrows shot towards the bow of the ship.

A Qing soldier reacted and hurriedly gave up his body to protect Kong Xigui, but his back was suddenly filled with arrows and fell to the ground, and the Qian Zong who had just shouted was also shot by a hedgehog, and several Qing soldiers immediately took their shields and took off the injured Kong Xigui.

In the Ming Dynasty, the family system prevailed, after these Ming generals surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, the army still maintained such characteristics, these family members for the main general's loyalty, far greater than the imperial court, so when the main general was in danger, most of them would fight to the death.

When the arrows were released on the water gate, the cargo ships that were originally parked on both sides suddenly broke out with a shocking shouting of killing, and the shipwrights on the ship lifted off the hats, revealing the red turbans, and then raised their bows to release arrows on the grain ship.

At the same time, a large number of ambushed Yuyuan troops poured out of the cargo ship's hold, and he swarmed to the grain ship in the middle with knives and guns, rocking the oars.

The ships were crowded together, and the rebels climbed onto the grain ships one after another, and fought bloody battles with the Green Battalion soldiers, and the two soldiers were constantly thrown into the water, and others were constantly hacked to death.

The Yuyuan Army was trained by Li Huajing, Liu Zhigan and others, they were originally imperial court generals, and the training methods were basically the same as those of these green battalion generals, which can be regarded as a teacher's inheritance, but the Yuyuan Army was more unfamiliar with the tactics of war.

Both sides used typical Xiao Sancai to fight on the boat, Yuyuan's military skills were not as good as people, but the victory was in the large number of people, and it was a surprise attack, constantly hacking the Qing soldiers to death and forcing them into the water.

Kong Xigui was dragged to the stern by his subordinates, and saw that the grain ship was held up by the cargo ship, surrounded and unable to escape, and it was estimated that it was all over, thinking that most of the military rations would be killed by the Qing court, so it was better to simply throw himself into the water.

He was about to jump, but he was stopped by his subordinates, and persuaded again and again: "General, keep the green mountains and don't be afraid of no firewood!" ”

At this moment, a small boat approached, but it was his subordinates who abandoned the grain boat and grabbed a small boat, and came to pick him up, and he took the donkey off the slope.

The canal is not wide, the big ship was blocked by a cargo ship, and it basically couldn't move, but the small boat could see the seams and insert the needle, and it actually allowed Kong Xigui to successfully go ashore.

The group ran for more than ten miles, and it was completely dark, Kong Xigui looked at the few people left around him, and the task of holding the grain was not completed, and he was very sad in his heart, so he had to wipe his neck and kill himself, but he was taken away by his own soldiers.

In fact, the first time he wanted to throw himself into the water, it was a bit true, but when he escaped later, he was mostly acting, and the matter of transporting grain was repeatedly explained by the regent, and he did not attempt suicide several times, how could he be embarrassed to go back alive to explain to the regent.

The battle of Kaiheyi lasted for more than half an hour, and then it was completely over, although the quality of the green battalion soldiers was higher than that of the Yuyuan army, but after all, the troops were at a disadvantage, and they were suddenly attacked, and the most important thing was that they were twenty people in a boat, which was equivalent to being divided and surrounded by the Yuyuan army, and could only be eaten by a boat.

This is also the reason why Kong Xigui didn't struggle much, so he ran away directly.

The main force of the Qing army was transferred to Lianghuai to encircle and suppress Xie Qian, and the Yuyuan army had been hiding its strength.

A few days later, the 1,000 Qing troops who were cowering in the county seat saw groups of Shouzhou people on the official road not far from the county seat, carrying bags of rice and grain back to Shouzhou in full swing, but the more than 1,000 Qing soldiers in the city did not dare to move.
