Chapter 22: Guess I'm coming in? Or do you want to go out?
Yao Qisheng walked away, and Lu Qiuke snorted at his back.
"Yin and Yang are weird, so they are mysterious!"
Wang Mingyue was also very unaccustomed to it, and asked Wang Ting: "This guy is rude in words and has a gloomy face, why is Brother Wang befriending him?" ”
"Hehehe, our two families are world friends, although there have been fewer contacts over the years, there is still a bit of incense." Wang Ting was reluctant to say more.
"No wonder this is the case, this Yao Qisheng is arrogant and arrogant, no one is in his eyes, ordinary people will definitely not be able to stand his temperament, and only Brother Wang can endure him. Well, but what he just said is really good, the Qi brothers and Wei Geng's whereabouts are weird, maybe they are doing something unseemly. ”
"In that case, why don't I find out and report it to the court?" Lu Qiuke was excited, he was still a poor talent, he failed in scientific examinations one after another, if he could help the Manchu Qing catch a nest of "anti-thieves", it would be a shortcut to promotion and fortune.
"Brother Lu is cautious!"
Wang Tingzheng said: "This kind of thing can only be said in front of the two of us, but it must not be mentioned to outsiders. The Qi family is a prominent clan in Shanyin, and the people who come and go on weekdays are all wealthy families, if they go against them, they will end up with no bones! ”
In this era, the wealthy clans were almost beyond the law, and in the secret anti-Qing organizations of Wei Geng and others, there were countless big people with heads and faces, which was not at all something that the royal court could fight against.
Let's not talk about the Shanyin Qi family, Zhu Geng of the Shanyin Zhu family was the cabinet boss in the Wanli period, the secretary of the ministry, Wu Dui of the Wu family of Shanyin was the secretary of the criminal department, and Zhu Zhaoxian of the Baiyang Zhu family was the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou. He is still alive and well, and he is against the families of these people's children and grandchildren, even if he gets some evidence. As long as the iron case of death is not completed, the other party's silver and favor will be used in the sky, and it will be overturned in a blink of an eye.
"Thank you Brother Wang for reminding me, I'll take care of it." Lu Qiuke was honest on the surface, but he had other plans in his heart. Just kidding, of course, wealth must be in danger, as long as you can get real evidence. I'm not afraid that I won't be able to bring down the Qi family, if you don't want to do it, I'll do it myself......
Yao Qisheng returned to the inn. Immediately settled the house money, went out of the city to hire a donkey, and rushed to Quzhou Mansion in western Zhejiang. He wanted to see with his own eyes and see what the Ming army was really like. Otherwise, don't think about getting a good night's sleep in the future.
Two years earlier. He had already made up his mind to take refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty and get ahead step by step. But the strange thing is that Nan Ming can't see that he can't do it, but he has won victory after victory on the battlefield in the past two years, could it be that Da Ming really has not exhausted his qi, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty will not be able to unify Shenzhou after all?
Which side to bet on is a major matter related to the fate of a lifetime. Yao Qisheng didn't believe in anyone, only his own eyes. For others. The battlefield is where the soldiers are in danger and the fierce ones are, but Yao Qisheng doesn't care.
……
Five hundred miles away, Quzhou Mansion.
The strength of the Qing army in this area was extremely empty, and Chen Bangfu captured Jiangshan County almost without bloodshed, and he was full of spirit.
Zhao Yinxuan and Hu Yiqing's advance speed was faster, they slanted from Shangrao, Jiangxi to the south, and had already captured Jiangyou Mountain, and the Xianxia Ancient Road was in front of them.
To the north, Chen Youlong's Zhenxiao battalion conquered Changshan County in Quzhou Prefecture, protecting the flanks and rear of Chen Bangfu and Zhao Yinxuan.
The Ming army marched towards Xianxialing in an irregular zigzag shape, but the Qing army could not understand the offensive intentions of the Ming army for a while, and the various state capitals reported to the top together.
The loudest shouts were first counted as the Quzhou Mansion that had been attacked, followed by the divided Guangxin Mansion (Shangrao District) in Jiangxi, and several other neighboring prefecture capitals were also in a hurry, and the urgent documents flew upwards like snowflakes, as if they had been attacked.
Tong Yangjia, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, was in Fuzhou, and there was no order for the time being, and the highest military and political governor in Zhejiang was Governor Xiao Qiyuan, but this person's ability was limited, and the actual supreme leader was Tian Xiong, the governor of Zhejiang.
Tian Xiong was very surprised when he heard that Quzhou Mansion had been attacked.
The southern part of Zhejiang is hilly and mountainous, not much richer than Jiangxi, the Ming army did not attack the rich Nanzhili and northern Zhejiang, did not attack the prominent position of Fujian, but chose here to start, I really did not expect.
But he had to admit that this hit hit the weakest link of the Qing army's defense line, and Jiangshan County and Changshan County were occupied by the Ming army without even decent resistance.
"The copper-headed, iron-stranded, hemp waist, now it's really like a wolf, beaten to the waist by the southern thief." Tian Xiong looked at the map for a long time, and suddenly found that the area occupied by the Qing army from Nanzhili to Fujian was really like a lying wolf, and his belly had been punctured by the Ming army.
He is also a battle-hardened general, and he immediately guessed the intentions of the Ming army, and seven or eight times out of ten, the Ming army was coming towards Xianxia Pass. Guessed yes, but I didn't know for sure, besides, he didn't have enough troops to support Xianxia Pass, such a large Zhejiang Province, with only a few thousand soldiers and horses in his hands to defend, he was overstretched everywhere, how could he take care of others.
The top priority at the moment was to quickly increase troops in the area around Quzhou Prefecture to prevent the Ming army from penetrating deep into the hinterland of Zhejiang. Tian Xiong knew very well that if the Ming army conquered a few more prefectures and counties, it would inevitably gain momentum, and other local state capitals were likely to surrender without a fight one after another, and there would be an avalanche-like collapse, and the situation would be impossible to clean up at that time.
Fortunately, in addition to the thousands of men and horses under him, there is also a garrison of Eight Banners in Hangzhou, because of the continuous war in the southeast region, Hangzhou has more troops stationed in Eight Banners, although some were transferred away by Tan Tai, there are still 3,000 Eight Banners left in the city.
The defense of Hangzhou City was handed over to the Eight Banners, and Tian Xiong personally led 6,000 green battalion soldiers, divided into three routes, and went to Quzhou Mansion, Chuzhou Mansion and Yanzhou Mansion.
……
At the same time, the war in Fujian had already begun, the Ming army in Guangdong set out from Chaozhou Mansion and launched an attack on the southern part of Fujian, and the Ming army in Jiangxi set out from Ruijin and Jianchang to attack the western part of Fujian by two routes. Fujian's Shaowu Mansion, Tingzhou Mansion, and Zhangzhou Prefecture lost several prefectures and counties one after another, and they were in a hurry.
On the Hong Kong side, Zhang Jiabao led 3,000 troops, quietly boarded Luo Mingshou's sea boat, and sailed along the coastline to Quanzhou Mansion in Fujian.
At this time, the Chu army was still standing still in Raozhou Mansion, coldly watching the more than 30,000 Qing troops stationed at Poyang Hukou and Anqing Mansion.
Static braking!
The Chu army has not moved, just like the heavy punch that has been hidden behind the boxing match, the more it does not hit, the greater the deterrence to the Qing army. Tan Tai, Ma Guozhu, Tian Xiong and Tong Yangjia, none of them dared to relax their vigilance, for example, Tian Xiong knew that Xianxia Pass was in danger, but he did not dare to send troops to rescue him, but increased troops in Quzhou Mansion and other places.
Tan Tai has been increasing his troops these days, and he has placed more than 30,000 horses in the area of Anqing Mansion, just waiting for the Ming army to launch an attack, cut off the supply line behind it, and come to close the door and fight the dogs. The Chu army was about to leave, and tens of thousands of troops had been squatting in Raozhou Mansion, as if standing on the threshold and turning back and asking, "Guess what, I'm going to come in next?" Or do you want to go out? ”
Tan Tai couldn't move, and took a boat down the south of Poyang Lake, although he could kill the Fuzhou Mansion in central Jiangxi, but the Chu army turned around and immediately destroyed him.
Tan Tai couldn't stand still, Fujian and Zhejiang were attacked, and he still had 100,000 troops in his hands, so he couldn't just watch. (To be continued......)
