Fang Yuan followed the instructions of the princess and passed the information of Jinyiwei and the news of Shi Lang's assistance in the battle to Zhang Ying of Huzhou Mansion.

After Zhang Ying received the information from the two parties, he immediately understood Fang Yuan's thoughts and began to change his previous combat deployment.

He first contacted Shi Lang and ordered Shi Lang to lead the sailors to attack Guanhaiwei and cut off Malin's route to the sea.

Then, he sent sergeants to Zhejiang to spread the news that Shi Lang's sailors were about to attack Guanhaiwei; even fabricated false information that Sun Chuanting's army had withdrawn to Shandong, and Fang Yuan had taken 100,000 Xuanjia troops south to quell the rebellion, which disturbed the military heart of Ma Lin.

In the end, on the one hand, he ordered 20,000 Xuanjia soldiers to prepare for battle, and put pressure on the rebels in Malin; On the one hand, he ordered 5,000 special combat troops to go to Jinshanwei, cross Hangzhou Bay by boat, attack Linshanwei in Shaoxing Prefecture, and cut off the retreat route of Ma Lin's Xuanjia Army in Huzhou to Guanhaiwei.

Seven days later, the special combat army that crossed Hangzhou Bay and attacked the rear won three battles and three victories in Linshanwei, defeating the 2,000 soldiers left behind in Linshanwei and achieving a decisive victory.

The fall of Linshanwei also completely cut off the connection between the rebels in Malin and Guanhaiwei.

In addition, there were constant rumors in Zhejiang that Shi Lang had sent troops to attack Guanhaiwei, and Malin, who stayed in Huzhou, was shocked three times a day. All his belongings and women are all in Guanhaiwei, if Guanhaiwei loses, the family wealth he has gained through corruption for so many years will inevitably be lost, so what else is he tossing?

The rebels of Malin are even more panicked, if Fengyang's Xuanjia army goes south, and the disparity between the forces of the two sides is so great, how can this battle be fought? The rebels rebelled with Ma Lin, but it was just a fluke and a fight. In this kind of battle that is bound to lose, who wants to accompany Ma Lin to die?

Ma Lin saw that the rebels were fluctuating in morale and morale were extremely low, and most of the battle had been lost before it officially began, so he had the idea of retreating.

Ma Lin secretly discussed with several henchmen and generals and came to a unanimous judgment that this battle had been lost, and if he stayed any longer, he would inevitably be defeated, so it was better to let those newly recruited soldiers be cannon fodder to resist the Xuanjia army of Huzhou Mansion and Linshanwei. They led 10,000 elite Xuanjia troops to flee overseas and went north to join the imperial court in the capital.

No matter how strong Shi Lang's sailors are, as long as they enter the vast sea, chasing them is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and the chances are slim.

Ma Lin immediately ordered the main force of the 10,000 Xuanjia Army to secretly retreat to Guanhaiwei at night, preparing to go to sea, and threw all the 30,000 recruits who were kept in the dark in Huzhou Mansion.

In the early morning of the next day, 30,000 recruits saw that the main force of Malin had retreated, and they were so frightened that they scattered in a hurry, or disarmed and surrendered, and disappeared completely in less than two days.

Zhang Ying smoothly led the army into the Malin military camp, and then sent 10,000 Xuanjia troops to follow the Malin rebels who retreated to Guanhaiwei.

The two sides carried out the final decisive battle under the Linshanwei, and the Malin rebels supported the elite sergeants in the Linshanwei Special Operations Army and the elite sergeants led by Zhang Ying for three days and three nights, and finally declared a collapse, with 4,000 casualties and 3,000 surrenders.

Only Ma Lin led 3,000 remnants of the army to break through and rush to the last hope of going to sea, Guanhaiwei.

When the remnants of Malin fled to Guanhaiwei, the 300 sergeants who had settled in Guanhaiwei before, the 500 boatmen who could control the sea boats, and the 30 sea ships were all gone. Along with him were his fifteen concubines, twenty maids, and even his three daughters over the age of fourteen.

Four million taels of silver, at least two million taels were missing, leaving two million taels of silver that could not be taken away in the wharf of the port, piled up. Along with the silver was the body of his wife, three sons, and a baby girl who had been beheaded.

When Ma Lin saw this, he knew that the three hundred soldiers and five hundred boatmen who had stayed behind had received the news of his defeat, so they divided his money and women, and all fled to sea. Before leaving, he killed his wife and son. Now he is a broken family and a lonely family.

Ma Lin calculated his life, but in the end it ended so dismal, he was so angry that a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he fell to the ground, and several personal soldiers hurriedly helped him.

When his three thousand remnants saw the mountains of silver that had been piled up in the harbor, and were already like mad beasts, they rose up and began to plunder the two million taels of silver, some of which were stuffed into their clothes, and some of whom were packed in bags.

The rebels rushed to dusk, and because of the uneven distribution of the spoils, they began to draw their swords and kill each other, killing a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and the sea water of the entire Guanhaiwei was dyed red.

Ma Lin was already in despair, sitting on the wall of Guanhaiwei in a daze, looking at the cannibalistic rebels, and then a huge fleet of Xuanjia Army sailor battalions appeared on the seaside, and then Shi Lang's sailors landed in Guanhaiwei Port bloodlessly.

He was so angry that he screamed again and fainted.

In the early morning of the second day, the special combat army led by Zhang Ying also chased to Guanhaiwei, began to clear the rebels in Guanhaiwei, and found Ma Lin who had already fainted on the city wall.

Ma Lin was a veteran general in the army, and Zhang Ying did not have the power to punish Ma Lin, so he ordered the sergeant to tie up Ma Lin Wuhua and send it to Suzhou Mansion to Fang Yuan.

Zhang Ying himself led the army, and Shi Lang's sailors jointly enforced the law, and began to count the troops in Guanhaiwei, as well as the silver and military rations scattered throughout Guanhaiwei.

Fang Yuan, who was sitting in the lobby, looked at Ma Lin who was tied up by five flowers in the hall, and said coldly, "Ma Zongbing! You are a veteran of the Xuanjia Army, and I ask myself if I treat you well on weekdays, making you an important position in the military, and even handing over such an important emergency reserve military field to you. You, why are you insatiable, why are you rebelling?! ”

Ma Lin looked depressed, sitting cross-legged on the ground, and several Xuanjia soldiers wanted to pull him to kneel, but Fang Yuan waved his hand to stop him.

Ma Lin looked at Fang Yuan and said, "Fang Yuan, it's too unhappy to follow you. I think that when we were horse bandits in northern Xinjiang, we would fight when we wanted, kill people if we wanted to, rob silver if we wanted to, and play women if we wanted to play with women. We lift our heads and lick the blood from the knife, aren't we just to live happily?! Joined your Xuanjia Army, women can't rob it, silver can't be greedy, and it's stuck in the barracks all day long, what else is there to do? ! ”

Fang Yuan looked solemnly at the gangster Ma Lin in front of him, who had not changed his dead nature, and said lightly, "Ma Lin! Since you and the Xuanjia military path are different and do not conspire with each other, you should propose it to me, and then go your own way. If you stay in the Xuanjia Army, you must abide by the rules of the Xuanjia Army, corruption and rebellion are capital crimes! ”

Malin laughed and said, "Since God is blind and unwilling to help me, the defeat is just death, and the head is not a scar the size of a bowl, and I have never been afraid of death!" ”

Fang Yuan sneered and said, "Ma Lin! God really wants to help you, a mad and inhumane brute, you are really blind! Those who kill will always be killed; Whoever commits adultery with his wife and daughter is also raped; Whoever commits a traitor will be punished by heaven. Your wife and sons are all dead; All thy daughters and thy women have been raped; All the money you have coveted has been robbed. These are karma, and they are the greatest punishment that God has given you! ”

Ma Lin thought that he was now cut off from his grandchildren, his son was hacked to death by the rebels, and his daughter was robbed of obscenity, his chest churned, and a mouthful of blood spurted out again, panting violently.

Fang Yuan said coldly, "Ma Lin, you have committed the great crime of rebellion, and you should have been executed by Ling Chi. If you recruit the whereabouts of these 400,000 stone grains, I will recite your past merits, betray you and hang you, and give you a good time. ”

According to Fang Yuan's estimate, Ma Lin embezzled such a large amount of grain, and there was no place to store it, so it must have been sold to the outside world. The sudden release of such a large amount of grain into the market will inevitably cause fluctuations in food prices. However, in the past few years, there have been no major fluctuations in grain prices in Nanzhili, which shows that the channel for selling stolen goods in Malin must not be sold in Nanzhili.

Ma Lin was silent for a while, and then said, "It was sold to the Jin merchants from the north who came to the south to buy grain, and ninety percent of these Jin merchants sold the grain to the Manchu Qing outside the Guan. ”

Selling grain to the Manchu Qing outside the Guan, Ma Lin's behavior was to betray the state enemy, Fang Yuan had nothing to say, waved his hand, and ordered the sergeant to take Ma Lin down.
