Shi Fu was very happy to see that Zheng Hongkui had finally decided to attach himself to the Qing army, and came to visit him.

After three rounds of drinking, Zheng Hongkui, who had feasted Shi Fu, asked, "Lord Shi, I don't know how the Qing army can help us?" ”

Shi Fu put down his chopsticks, "Lord Zheng, in fact, we have already arranged this matter, the Qing army will pass through the territory of the Portuguese, and then come to your territory to help you, before that, please clean up the interior first, I heard that the people of the Longwu Imperial Court have not left yet." ”

"This adult, they are all my old subordinates who have been fighting for many years, I can't bear it, why don't I persuade them again?" Zheng Hongkui said embarrassedly.

"No, Lord Zheng, according to my investigation, these men of yours have betrayed you, we found that there are Ming troops of the Longwu Imperial Court in the city, if you don't believe it, you can send your henchmen to the street, you don't need to go to the street, just go to some courtyards around your mansion to have a look, and you will find that a large number of Ming troops are planning to be unfavorable to you," Shi Fu shook his head and said to him coldly.

"This," Zheng Hongkui stood up in shock, although he knew that the people in Quanzhou Mansion were now scattered, the wind was roaring, his subordinates were not at ease, and all forces were active, but he didn't know that someone was under his nose, ambushing people, what does this mean, if you can't talk about it, you have to solve yourself by force.

"Someone, check for me, and arrest everyone to the house." Zheng Hongkui said loudly to the guards beside him.

"Alas——, sir, you are so reckless to let people check, if there are fewer people, it is better to say, if there are more people, wouldn't it be a meat bun beating a dog, and there is no return? When the time comes, let the enemy take the opportunity to attack in, and you and I will lose our heads. Shi Fu grabbed him and said.

"Hehe," Zheng Hongkui said to him in a sneering voice: "On my territory, no matter how many people you have, you have to be honest with me, otherwise I will not be polite." ”

After saying that, he gave orders to his subordinates, and then led people to arrest them himself.

Shi Fu didn't know what Zheng Hongkui could do, but he knew that Zheng Hongkui was the key, so he hurriedly said to his subordinates: "Go and let those Zheng family army generals who have gathered good soldiers and generals to take refuge in us launch, kill those who are not falling to us, and integrate the troops." ”

"Yes, sir, I'll do it right away." The subordinate left with a few guards.

And at this moment, the undercurrent of Quanzhou Mansion is surging, and Zhang Liang, the eunuch of the Longwu Dynasty, is not a character who is easily defeated, according to intelligence, Zheng Hongkui has fallen to the Qing army, he hurriedly arranged for people to deploy actions, and ordered those hidden royal forest troops to move closer to the city government, while informing some of the people here these days that he said that he was turbulent and strong and squires, gathered his family, and prepared for a decisive battle.

If it weren't for the large number of people, if it wasn't for the fact that there were many generals who were rebelling now, it wasn't for Wei Wuji, who had the Jinhua Righteous Army, and the army had arrived at the periphery of Quanzhou Mansion within half a month, and it was secretly hidden, and Zhang Liang didn't dare to launch it at this time.

Even if he knew that things could not be done, Zheng Hongkui, who had defected to the Qing army, must have been the first to take them under the knife, and he knew that the people in the Yongli court had a keen sense of smell, and they actually ran away two or three days ago, and they didn't get things done, and they didn't have much hope, they didn't invest anything, they only had the holy decree and reward secret order in Yongli's hand, which was the white wolf with empty gloves.

"Father-in-law, it's not good, Zheng Hongkui led people to raid our men who were ambushed outside the mansion, and now there is a fierce battle," the little eunuch who followed him hurriedly ran in from outside and reported.

"What, send someone to tell the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, let him hold on, you go and send someone to inform those squires and Haoqiang, send someone to rescue the Royal Forest Army, I will go and tell those generals of Zheng Hongkui, let them launch at this time." After speaking, he strode out of the room and ran out, and the little eunuch hurriedly trotted to follow.

By the time they ran out of the compound, the streets were in chaos, and the vendors were packing up their things and running in all directions, thankfully there were no soldiers slashing at each other.

This is not to say that the battle did not start, and it started a long time ago, Zheng Chenggong's people were the first to be attacked by the Qing army, but they were more cunning, they were originally locals, and soon lost a small number of people, and quickly withdrew from Quanzhou Mansion, Shi Fu's people did not have Zheng Hongkui's generals to assist, and there was really no way to take Zheng Chenggong's people for a while.

Their rebel Zheng Hongkui's generals were all arranged to attack those who were not rebelled or who had fallen to the Longwu court.

As time went on, Zhang Liang found that his strength was gradually weakening, and he devised a plan to let the remnants of his men pretend to be the rebel Qing army, and attack the soldiers of other parts of the Qing army who were looking for his people.

So a scuffle was staged in Quanzhou Mansion.

The Jinhua Rebels were also involved in this battle, and because Shi Fu set them as a more formidable opponent than the Longwu Imperial Court, he chased Zheng Hongkui's generals who fell to the Jinhua Rebels, and Shi Fu rushed to the Jinhua Rebel Army's garrison camp in the city with thousands of soldiers and horses.

The whole street was bleeding, and several parties were fighting, which made Quanzhou Mansion chaotic, and the rebels took the opportunity to ransack Quanzhou Mansion.

Zheng Hongkui had already torn his face with his subordinates, leading people to chase and kill the rebellious subordinates, many of them fled one after another, or took refuge in the Jinhua Righteous Army, or defected to the Qing Army, and some of the smarter people fled from the city gate to the territory controlled by the Longwu Imperial Court.

Zhou Congee sat in the military account of the garrison barracks of Jinhua Mansion, such a chaotic situation, he experienced a lot, compared to the original Jinhua Mansion with more than 100,000 Qing troops, that kind of chaotic scene, although Quanzhou Mansion has a large population of 340,000 people, the local population is 50,000 or 60,000 people, there are 70,000 or 80,000 merchants and merchants, and the rest are poor people who are begging for a living nearby, as well as soldiers, government servants, so many people, it is not as good as the 100,000 people in Jinhua Mansion at that time, and nearly 200,000 Qing troops outside the city, and then the two sides fought, that chaos.

Ruan Jin didn't need him to say that he was originally a general of the Ming army in Lu Jianguo, and he had experienced a lot of battles large and small, and after coming to the Jinhua Righteous Army, he participated in the reorganization and training of the army, and also fought a few battles with the Qing army in Quanzhou Mansion and Fuzhou Mansion, and cultivated his mentality of having a sense of superiority over the Qing army that was different from that on the side of Lu Jianguo.

Therefore, after accepting several surrendered Zheng Hongkui generals and their defeated soldiers, the barracks began to close, and the naval corps climbed the walls of the barracks and attacked the enemy with arquebuses, knives, axes, bows and arrows.

Shi Fu was also a veteran, and Zheng Hongkui's soldiers under his command attacked twice, both of which were defeated, leaving hundreds of seriously wounded and dead bodies outside the wall.

"You go and inform Zheng Hongkui, if you want to do it, you will do it, anyway, you have already turned against the Jinhua Righteous Army, it is better to increase your strength," Shi Fu was not busy attacking the Jinhua Righteous Army, but said to his subordinates around him.

"My lord, now Zheng Hongkui is in a bad mood, who catches and kills whom, the foundation he worked hard to manage has been ruined by us, and the generals who were sent to help him attack those squires and powerful soldiers and horses were cut off by him as soon as they met, and all the soldiers of the generals were killed by him." Subordinate Dao.

"Is he crazy?" Shi Fu asked.

"I heard that he met Zhang Liang, the eunuch of the Longwu Imperial Court, on the way, and was beaten by Zhang Liang, and then somehow suddenly roared to the sky, and slashed his own soldiers around him like crazy, and then the people we sent couldn't get close to him."

Subordinate Dao.

Shi Fu touched his chin, "This Zhang Liang is a capable eunuch, in such a crisis situation, he can still let him turn the tables, go, see that this Jinhua Righteous Army doesn't want to make trouble, let's solve Zheng Hongkui and that Zhang Liang first, and wait for Master Ma Degong's Qing army to come to Quanzhou Mansion, and then we will fight to the death with the Jinhua Righteous Army, depending on the situation, no one in the Jinhua Righteous Army can make a decision, and we have to send someone back to ask their governor." ”
