Chapter Twenty-Four: The Master is Here

At dawn in the morning, a fleet of ships under the banner of the Qing army sailed into the dock of Jishui County.

Shi Ah Da stood at the bow of the boat, wearing cotton armor, wearing an iron helmet on his head, with a two-foot-high carved feather inserted in the iron helmet, and a tiger tooth knife diagonally straddling his waist. Behind him were five hundred soldiers of the Gongyi Battalion disguised as the Qing Army, a dozen pretending to be Eight Banner soldiers, and the others were all pretending to be Green Battalion soldiers.

The boat leaned to the shore, and the soldiers of the Gongyi battalion boarded the pier in great shape and walked towards the county seat.

"Open the door! We are from Ji'an......"

A captive went up to call the door, and a few green battalion soldiers poked out from the city tower, and after a few interrogations, he hung down a basket, and the captive put into it the haode Kanhe talisman that had been prepared for a long time, and the basket rose up again.

"Wait a minute, general, let's go and report to President Wang Qian." The green battalion soldiers in the city took the talisman and shouted to the city.

"Report to your mother! Tell Lao Wang, I am Liu Sheng from the third post on the left, and I said that the master of the Qing Dynasty is here, let him hurry over and open the door! ”

The captive pointed at Shi Ada, and the green battalion soldiers in the city realized that there were still Eight Banners soldiers arriving, so they hurriedly made amends and hurried down the city.

After a short time, a green camp thousand general leaned out on the city wall, looked at Shi Ah Da and the others, turned around and gave his men a big slap.

"Forgive the general, these bastards have never seen the majesty of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, and they have neglected the general......" His body was bowed like a shrimp, and he was almost planted from the city tower.

"Forget it, open the door." Shi Ah spoke roughly, mimicking a northern accent.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute......"

Mr. Qian was very cautious, made amends to Shi Ah Da again and again, and turned his face to interrogate the captive Liu Sheng: "Old Liu." What are you doing in Jishui? Is it an order from the Gao Xie? Also, where did this Eight Banners General come from......? ”

This group of people came too suddenly, he faintly felt that something was wrong, and with the heavy responsibility of guarding Jishui County, he didn't dare to open the city gate easily.

"Of course Lao Tzu was sent by Gao Xietai! What the fuck are you counting that green onion? Dare to interrogate the master of the Qing Dynasty! ……”

The captive Liu Sheng scolded, and the green camp was also very afraid of offending the "imperial army", so he couldn't eat and walked around, but his duty was to grit his teeth and refuse to open the city gate, and he was in a stalemate. Shi Ah Da suddenly waved his hand, and the city and the city immediately fell silent.

"Don't make noise, he's doing the right thing, you should check it carefully!" Shi Bada pointed to the green camp Qianzong: "You, send someone down." Take a closer look at ......"

"Thank you! Thanks a lot! Thank you for your leniency! "That Green Camp Qian was overjoyed, he didn't expect the Manchu master to be so angry. He even agreed to cooperate with the inspection. He called a few words from one of his confidants, and then he hung him down the city wall with a basket and came to Shi Da.

"Uh-huh......!" Shi A's eyes widened, and more than a dozen "Eight Banner Soldiers" behind him glared together, and the pro-soldier's heart jumped a few times, and he didn't dare to look up at them anymore.

"Smack!" Shi Ada's hand suddenly raised. The soldier was frightened, and when he hurriedly looked up, he saw that Shi Ada's iron helmet had been removed from his head, revealing a huge round bald head. There is also a small pigtail hanging from the back of his head.

Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen "Eight Banner Soldiers" behind him also took off their helmets, revealing their bald heads and braids, and the henchmen and soldiers had weak legs, knelt on the ground with a plop, and kowtowed again and again.

"Open the door! Open the door! ”

The green camp in the city no longer had any doubts, and ordered his subordinates to open the city gates, and the two heavy iron-clad city gates were slowly pushed open, but Shi Adaa suddenly pulled out the tiger tooth knife and slashed at the henchman who was kneeling on the ground.

"Forget your ancestors' things, Lao Tzu slaughtered you!"

As soon as the soldiers of the Gongyi battalion swarmed up, they raised their swords and slashed, pouring into the city gate like a tide.

The Qing army was caught off guard, and immediately became a mess, beating gongs and blowing trumpets to warn again and again, and the green battalion with one hundred and ten subordinates desperately counterattacked to recapture the city gate, and threw flying stones and bricks from the city tower to intercept the Gongyi battalion. In the chaos of the battle, Shi Ah Da's head was hit by a brick, and he rushed forward with blood on his face, and his hand fell with a knife, cutting down the green camp to the ground......

The Gongyi battalion disguised itself as a surprise attack, deceived the city gate with the survey and combination soldier talisman that entered the warehouse, went upriver along the Wujiang River, easily captured Jishui County and Yongfeng County within two days, entered the territory of Fuzhou Mansion, and joined forces with the anti-Qing volunteers in the area of Fuzhou Mansion and Jianchang Mansion. (There is a Jianchang County in the northwest of Jiangxi, and there is a Jianchang Mansion in the east, which is in the area of Nancheng and Nanfeng in the present-day Jiangxi Province.) )

Different from the Ji'an Volunteers, the Fuzhou Volunteers had the official appointment of the Longwu Imperial Court, and their leaders Jie Chongxi, Fu Dingquan and others were all Jinshi during the Chongzhen period, official officials of the Longwu Imperial Court, and Jie Chongxi was a dignified governor of Jiangxi.

When Jin Shenghuan captured Jiangxi, the Ming Dynasty clan Yongning King raised troops to resist the Qing Dynasty, Jiezhongxi was worried about filial piety at home at that time, and Fu Dingquan recruited volunteers to respond to the Yongning King, and was later defeated by Jin Shenghuan, Yongning King was martyred, Jiezhongxi and Fu Dingquan went to Fujian to meet Emperor Longwu, were appointed as governors and prefects respectively, and organized volunteers to resist the Qing Dynasty after returning to Jiangxi.

Jie Chongxi and Fu Dingquan's families are both famous families in Jiangxi, raising their arms and shouting, the servants gathered, and the two quickly pulled up tens of thousands of volunteers, and the momentum was huge, surrounding Fuzhou Mansion and attacking day and night. However, the volunteers who were put together only by blood and courage were no match for the Qing army, and were soon defeated by Jin Shenghuan's reinforcements and forced to retreat into the mountains of Furong Mountain in the south of Fuzhou.

Under the encirclement and suppression of the Qing army, there were only a few thousand people left under Jie Chongxi and Fu Dingquan, and they were hiding in Furong Mountain in a difficult situation. Unexpectedly, after entering June, tens of thousands of Qing troops surrounding Furong Mountain suddenly withdrew.

Jie Chongxi and Fu Dingquan breathed a sigh of relief, and sent people down the mountain to inquire around, only to hear that Fan Wenqin of Wuning County had erected a banner of resistance to the Qing Dynasty, and the 150,000 troops under his department swept through the western part of Jiangxi, and were violently attacking Ji'an Mansion, and the Qing army surrounding Furong Mountain was to encircle and suppress them.

"That's amazing!"

Jie Chongxi and Fu Dingquan were both surprised and delighted, Fan Wenqin's family is also a famous gentry in Jiangxi, they have all heard of Fan Wenqin's name, but they didn't expect this person to be so loyal and martyr, and he can stand up when the country is in danger!

What makes them even more admired is that Fan Wenqin is only from a human background, and he can do such a vigorous career, fighting against the fierce Qing army, and turning the western part of Jiangxi upside down!

Jie Chongxi and Fu Dingquan discussed, decided to immediately go to support Fan Wenqin, they went down to Furong Mountain, sent people around to gather the scattered Fuzhou volunteers, and soon gathered nearly 20,000 horses, and rushed to Le'an County, the source of the Wujiang River, and met the vanguard of the Gongyi battalion......

PS: In real history, Jie Chongxi and Fu Dingquan have been persisting in resisting the Qing Dynasty behind enemy lines in Jiangxi, and died respectively in the eighth year of Shunzhi (1651). (To be continued......)
