He Jin and his subordinates were very aggrieved and unwilling, and were taken to the government prison by the cavalry and imprisoned.

There were only more than 120 people in total, all of them were wounded, and some were even seriously injured, but no one cared about them, and more than 40 seriously injured people were found on the battlefield and were also carried into the government compound, and doctors were found to treat their injuries, but all the cavalry standing around them were closely guarded.

At dusk, Zhang Qiang finally came to the capital city of Chuzhou, the county seat of Lishui, with more than 5,000 firearms and artillery.

As soon as he sat on the chair of the mansion, Zhang Qiang said to Hu Kui: "The cavalry will go down to rest, the artillery and a part of the firecrackers will take over the defense of the city, Mi Chun will be responsible for the defense of the city, and Hu Kui will send a sentry to spy on the surroundings,"

After a while, Hu Kui and Mi Chun came in, and Zhang Qiang asked, "How is He Jin and Lin Yangsheng?" ”

Hu Kui said: "According to the confession of the soldiers of He Jinbu, Lin Yangcheng's department went to stop the thousand Qing troops from Songyang County, but they have not come back until now, and the villain has already sent someone to investigate." ”

Zhang Qiang turned to Mi Chun, and Mi Chun said: "My lord, more than 300 Qing soldiers were captured, more than 500 squires and Minzhuang who helped defend the city in the city, more than 1,600 people in He Jinbu, and only more than 160 people remained, which can be described as a heavy loss." ”

Zhang Qiang held his forehead, if he hadn't come in time and sent Hu Kui to support first, He Jin might have folded here, but the pity was that the more than 1,000 righteous soldiers he had rationed to He Jin were all killed in battle. This He Jin is really hateful.

Mi Chun glanced up at Hu Kui, and then said, "My lord, He Jin is seriously injured, and I have already sent a doctor to treat him,...... My lord, my subordinates feel that even if He Jin and Lin Chengcheng are at fault this time, but they also helped the adults to take the state capital city, and they will be considered merit and demerits, so don't pursue it. Thousands of troops are easy to obtain, but one will be hard to find. Lord He Jin did not retreat from the battle, his bravery was extraordinary, his subordinates, when the enemy was strong and I was weak, faced with four times the Qing soldiers of our army, they could still capture the enemy's fortified city, which can be described as a fierce general, please consider it. ”

Hu Kui refused, "My lord, if no one listens to your orders and transfers troops without authorization, what will make you lose face, He Jin must be severely punished, and the last general thinks that in order to set an example, he should be beheaded in public." ”

Mi Chun stepped forward, "Don't be an adult, it's so reckless, it chills the hearts of the soldiers." ”

Hu Kui looked at him, "Master Mi, do you remember that he is your old master, and you still want to protect him because of your Liukou background?" ”

Zhang Qiang looked at Mi Chun to defend himself, and waved his hand, "Enough, my own people, no one is allowed to talk about the rogue or the rebel army, now you are all my subordinates, the Jinhua rebel army." ”

The two men glanced at each other, snorted coldly, stepped aside, and stopped talking.

Zhang Qiang waited for a while, and said to Mi Chun: "How is the inventory of the enemy's supplies?" ”

Mi Chun said: "My lord, a lot of seizures have reached a total of 300,000 taels of silver, 200,000 stones of grain and grass, 100 firearms, 11 tiger cannons, 100 barrels of gunpowder, 350 good bows and crossbows, 2,500 arrows, 100 pieces of good chain mail from the enemy, 1,000 pieces of leather armor, 1,500 pieces of cotton armor, 350 pieces of bamboo armor, 50 war horses, 250 pack horses, and a number of other materials. ”

After listening to Mi Chun's report, Zhang Qiang did not express his opinions on the handling of the materials, but said to Mi Chun: "Bring He Jin to see me,"

Turning his head to Hu Kui, he said: "Take someone to find Lin Yangshengbu, twenty miles away, it should not be far." ”

When He Jin was brought, his whole body was wrapped in a white cloth, like a mummy, if he hadn't walked by himself, he was carried by someone, Zhang Qiang was afraid that he had really become a mummy, and the seriously injured person was walking by himself, which was a good interpretation, in fact, those injuries were skin injuries, at least, there were no injuries to the muscles and bones.

Zhang Qiang glanced at him, stood up, walked up to He Jin, and said coldly: "He Jin, are you guilty?" ”

He Jin lowered his head and knelt down slowly, "The villain is reckless, please punish the governor." ”

Zhang Qiang stared at him for a long time, until He Jin felt that something was wrong, and when he raised his head to look at him, the two looked at each other, He Jin did not lower his head, but confronted Zhang Qiang's gaze, Zhang Qiang saw persistence in his gaze, but did not see resentment.

Just when he thought that this person had no resentment against him, he heard He Jin not know that the tendon was wrong, and said to him: "I usually don't want to see your face, but I still have to thank you for coming in time to pull me back from the brink of death, but it can only be like this, because I can't think of any more ways to thank you, because you see that I am like this, and I really don't know what else to do." ”

Zhang Qiang was amused by him, laughed, turned around and walked to the chair, and said: "I don't need your thanks, but you transferred troops without authorization, and decided to attack the state capital without informing me, which is indeed a big crime, but you have taken the state capital again, this is another great achievement, if you let your merits be offset, I am telling my subordinates, you can do bad things as much as you want, feel free to make trouble for me, when the time comes, when the enemy comes, I will find that there will not be a soldier by my side, I was unlucky enough to be caught by the enemy, so in order to put an end to this kind of thing, I decided to punish you severely. ”

"Come on, lock him up for three months, let him recuperate here, and during the period of recuperation, he will be responsible for the defense of the state capital, and hand over the families of those captives and squires to him," and then he said to He Jin: "Let me sit in prison and guard the state capital well, there is no room for mistakes, you are now the governor of the state capital." ”

He Jin's eyes widened, it was the first time he heard such a punishment, let him sit in the prison but let him be the governor of the state capital, at present, there are only two Tongzhi appointed by Zhang Qiang, one is Zhou Congee, and the other is Wei Wuji, this is the highest commander in charge of military affairs in Zhang Qiang's Jinhua Righteous Army, although he is in charge of the garrison, but it is also higher than the position of a thousand households, and even higher than the supreme commander of the temporary commander of the army in this place, because in wartime, these commanders have to listen to the same knowledge.

If Zhang Qiang was not in that province, all the officers in that province would be under his control.

That's a lot of trust.

Stand alone.

He Jin didn't care about the injuries on his body, and immediately knelt down, "Lord Xie, the lower officials must guard the state capital for the adults, and take the state capital for the adults to expand the territory of the rebel army." ”

Zhang Qiang waved his hand, "Escort down." ”

Mi Chun watched from the side, waiting for He Jin to thank him, and then when he was escorted down by the guards, Mi Chun frowned, "My lord, this is not appropriate, are you relieved that someone like him will come to the state capital?" ”

Zhang Qiang stretched out his hand and asked the guards serving on the side to cut his nails, put his legs on the table in the lobby, and took the white fungus lotus seed porridge that the guards on the side fed him in his mouth, and said with his eyes closed: "What if you don't let him sit in charge?" ”

"Do you want to sit in charge?"
