The Seventh Field Brigade, which left Liu Liangzuo, still had 20,000 militiamen, and at the same time there were 5,000 newly recruited young men in the city.

These 5,000 young and strong people in the city are the young and strong people in the families of the people who have a great heart, and the landlords, squires, and family members of the merchants in the city summoned by the Qing army, as well as the tenants of these people, the long-term workers are only for glory and wealth or to take refuge in the new, they think that they are about to change the dynasty and become traitors in the Qing Tartar world.

Only such a person Zhang Qiang can use it with confidence, for those traitors who helped the Qing army resist themselves and the young men they gathered, Zhang Qiang didn't even leave a single person, all of them were taken away, not to take them away, Liu Liangzuo's mind was not firm, if these people were left, Liu Liangzuo, who was an old officer, might be instigated by these people and rebelled against the outside world, and his Seventh Field Brigade and 20,000 militiamen would not be in danger?

In short, maybe Liu Liangzuo has spent a lot of time with the Huaxia Army in the past two years, but his personality determines that he is not a trustworthy master, even if he wants to die for the Huaxia Army, Zhang Qiang has to guard against him.

In this way, Zhang Qiang took away the 8,000 captive Qing troops in the city, the remaining 2,000 Qingzhuang who did not die, and the Qingzhuang's family members.

The rest is about 30,000 people in the city, originally there were more than 50,000 people, this is because of the war in this place, many people in the village, or people from other places have fled into the city, just like the original Jinhua Mansion, where the Qing army passed, the people will definitely flee to the nearby county seat.

Because there are officials and soldiers guarding the county, they feel that the officials and troops are there, they are at ease, and the officials and soldiers can resist the Qing army, and as a result, the result is that the Qing army has a place to slaughter the people of the Ming Dynasty who are concentrated in resistance, so that the people of the Ming Dynasty in the places where the north and south are caught in the war are always dead, and many places have become a no-man's land.

Now after this battle in the city, the remaining 30,000 people, the people who were forcibly recruited before were killed by the Huaxia army, and there were only about 2,000 people left who died in the thousands of Qingzhuang, and this time the Huaxia army recruited 5,000 people, and there were only more than 20,000 people left in the 30,000 people.

Originally, Zhang Qiang wanted to transfer some of the people, but the Chinese are a little better, the homeland is difficult to leave, these people who stayed and did not escape, do not want to escape, because now in the southeast area, except for the territory of the Huaxia Army, there is no war, other places, there are constant wars, where the Ming army and the Qing army passed, the people are difficult to live, so the people still want to stay in the city better.

did not retreat with Zhang Qiang's Huaxia army.

Two battalions of cavalry and 3,000 militiamen were sent to escort the prisoners and the people who followed them to Quzhou Mansion, and Ma Sanli arranged for Zhang Qiang to leave Raozhou Mansion with the army on the third day.

Before leaving, Feng Wuyu and Huang Tao, who were still on the front line, were arranged to summon the people of Raozhou Mansion to retreat to Quzhou Mansion, separate the 20,000 militiamen sent down, and let them escort the people to Quzhou Mansion.

Then Zhang Qiang led the supplemented 1st Brigade of the Guards Brigade, the 2nd Brigade of the Cavalry Brigade, and the leader of the personal guard, Baghyalu, to the border of Raozhou Mansion to make peace with Du Ge and Hu Kui, and prepared to play cat hunting and sports warfare with Hong Chengchou and the main force of the Qing army in Bolobele.

The cavalry and scout cavalry of the Guards Brigade were all sent out to completely block the entire Raozhou Mansion and block the retreat route of the troops, so that the scouts of the Qing army could not detect the movements of their own troops.

After Zhang Qiang led the team away, Liu Liangzuo called Brother Zhu to him, pressed his hand on his shoulder, and sat down with a smile, "General Zhu, Captain Zhu, you have to teach your godbrother how to fight this battle." ”

Brother Zhu smiled and handed the teacup on the coffee table to Liu Liangzuo, and said with a smile: "Admiral Liu, you are an adult, and you have never led an army to fight before your humble position, so I have to ask you." ”

"Hehe, Captain Zhu, you have been teased for your brother and me, if you want to say before, your brother and I really dare to teach you, but now your brother and I are old and backward, what is new, Shi ......" Brother Zhu smiled and picked him up, "My lord said it, it is called the combat methods of the new era, the era of firearms, the era of muskets, and the era of winning with artillery, and the adults said it when they gave us lessons." ”

"Yes, yes, the war in the era of firearms, but my brother and I can't, how can this war be fought?"

Brother Zhu took a sip of tea, "My lord, it's not me who shirks it, you have to come up with some way, otherwise, you can also see that there are no idlers in our Huaxia Army, if I tell you how to fight here, then do you still need to defend the city here?" Shall I just go? Why keep you? The Grand Governor, this is a chance for you. ”

Liu Liangzuo laughed, sat back and sat up straight, took off his military hat and touched the back of his head, what else to say, but raised his head and looked at Brother Zhu's appearance that had nothing to do with himself, and couldn't help but feel a little unhappy in his heart.

Thinking of this, Liu Liangzuo picked up the teacup and said slowly: "Since this is the case, then my brother will not send General Zhu Shen, General Zhu will invite him first." ”

Brother Zhu stood up and flicked the clothes on his body, "Then the little brother will go first, what does Admiral Liu command, although he sent someone to inform the younger brother, the younger brother will definitely do his best to help the eldest brother." ”

After speaking, he walked out of the hall of the mansion.

Liu Liangzuo narrowed his eyes, and the henchmen on the side wanted to step forward, but Liu Liangzuo still waved his hand and told them not to move, his own guards stood on the left and right, these guards were arranged when Zhou Congee was the garrison, and now they were later taken over by Mi Lin, and now they are taken over by Baghyalu, these classes are Zhang Qiang's people.

Liu Liangzuo pondered for a long time, and finally thought of a solution.

"Come, go and hang up the flag of the Grand Duke, my flag will be hung at the side gate of the city, the flag of General Hu Shen will be hung in the camp at the east gate, and the flag of Deputy Prime Minister Du Ge will be hung in the barracks outside, everything is as usual, send some militia, send some baggage soldiers, wear the uniforms of each army to guard the camp outside the city, our army militia should change into the flags of each army, and the military uniforms of each army will guard each gate, so that the young and strong people in the city can change into militia clothes, patrol day and night, move around more, and disturb the enemy's ears and eyes."

The henchman couldn't help but ask, "My lord, you are here to defend the city with a dead heart." ”

"What's the matter, the Metropolitan Governor is as kind to me as a mountain, how can I not repay the Metropolitan Governor's kindness, come, go and stop the remaining young men and militia in the city from changing into military uniforms, dig trenches around the fort outside the city, and arrange the cannons for me, and I will sing an empty city plan for the Qing army Tartars here, so that they will think that the Metropolitan Governor's army is still here." Liu Liangzuo still has a hand, after all, he has been marching and fighting for so many years, and he is playing false, and others really can't play him.

Liu Liangzuo beckoned his henchmen over, "You take people to recruit the nearby people and militia here, how much can be recruited, and if you have more manpower, will you have more strength!" ”

The henchman said: "Your Excellency is wise. ”

Liu Liangzuo waved his hand, "Let's go down." ”

Hong Chengchou and Bolo, who were dozens of kilometers away, had already set up camp, waiting for Tanma to bring an update.
