"In the Huangmei season, it rains at home, and the grass pond is full of frogs. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" raised his hand and then drizzled down, Ling Liang suddenly showed a poem in his heart that Zhao Mingde often hung on his lips when he was alive, of course, this word 'Chang' is only in the last month, their two armies jointly attacked Yongfu County on the South Road of Fuzhou Prefecture, intending to separate Chen Jie, who fought Fuzhou back to Xinghua Mansion, from the Qing army in Fuzhou, and then contacted the righteous army in Zhangquan to storm Xinghua Mansion and eliminate Chen Jie.

Zhao Mingde was born in a wealthy family, and Ling Liang, a poor man whose ancestors were poor for eight generations, had studied books, played games, and had to pass the children's school, but he didn't work hard and failed to pass the exam. Zhao Mingde also often boasts of being a 'son of Zhao Song'. But this phrase should be in the current season, "but it is also a scene." ”

With an indifferent smile on his face, Ling Liang ordered a group of guards beside him: "Pass my order, the whole army will stop and camp on the spot." ”

"Yes, General." is both a personal guard and a herald, this is the practice of Ling Liang Yilai.

The slight oblique wind blows, and a little drizzle drips on the face, and the coolness that penetrates the heart instantly enters the heart. Looking ahead, the smoke and rain and fog sprout mountains and forests; Looking back, a thin snake winds through the mountains and forests, and its long body is lost in the drizzle.

This is Daiyun Mountain, in the territory of Yongchun Prefecture.

Lingliang's territory is in Yanping Mansion in the north of Yongchun Prefecture, half of Yanping.

Yongchun Prefecture is Zhao Mingde's territory, but Zhao Mingde died in Yongfu, and the entire Yongchun Prefecture will be in chaos. As for why Ling Liang, who suffered a loss in Yongfu, appeared in Daiyun Mountain, hehe, hehe!

The Heaven and Earth Society Righteous Army in Fujian is not a conviction of each other and works together. They are like the rebels in the late Ming Dynasty, big fish eat small fish and small fish eat dried shrimp, and it is not uncommon for them to 'merge' with each other.

So, Ling Liang ...... Troops out! 10,000 soldiers went out of Youxi and transferred to the mountains of Daiyun Mountain, the hardships are needless to say, but Ling Liang also believes that this is the same as the Wuyi tea that Jianning has already started to transport north to Wenzhou, it is an absolute harvest road!

In the deep mountains north of Youxi, a team of 10,000 people formed a long snake seven or eight miles long in the mountains and forests, winding through the rugged and concave mountain roads.

With Ling Liang's order, dozens of heralds scattered on their legs, and soon the same shouts spread in the middle of the mountain rain.

The army of 10,000 men, or two or three hundred men, or five or six hundred, was more or less divided into a dozen sections, each of which was led by a leader. With Ling Liang's order, it didn't take long for more than a dozen relatively independent campsites to set up in the mountains and forests.

From Youxi to Daiyun Mountain, the straight-line distance is fifty or sixty miles, and when you enter Daiyun Mountain and then go to Chishui City, it is also fifty or sixty miles, but it is a road of one hundred and ten miles, but because it is all three places, the army has been marching in the mountains and forests for five days, but it has just seen the shadow of Yingxue Mountain. Yingxue Mountain is the main peak of Daiyun Mountain, from the north slope of Yingxue Mountain to the south slope, you can see Chishui City. There is still a long way to go, and it would be good to be able to arrive in Chishui City the day after tomorrow.

The five-day journey through the forest has made the soldiers below physically exertionable, and it is not good to eat and drink, for example, now. Under the drizzle, there is no dry firewood in the mountains and forests, where is the fire and the food made?

It's also a shame that Ling Liang's team is full of Fujian locals, if it is a person from Jiangbei, how many people will fall ill in just five days?

During the rainy season, the temperature in the mountains is not high, but now that it is raining, the cold is even worse when the clothes are wet, especially at night, and it is very easy to get a fever and a cold if you don't pay attention to it.

However, there is no good way to face these Ling Liang, when the army set off, in order to carry more rations, sundries are rarely brought. The soldier can block the rain for a while while wearing a coat, and after a long time, it has no effect.

As for camping, it is also very simple, and the light tarpaulin tent can be pulled, and it doesn't matter if the ground is wet or not, but it can always be better.

"Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, there will be three more days, and this day will come to an end." Ling Liang stretched out his hand to wipe the rain on his face, and a string of water droplets flew away when he shook his hand.

There was nothing to do all night, and when it was dawn, Ling Liang ordered someone to make a count, and the number of patients who couldn't get up had increased to 100. Overnight, thirty or forty more people fell. The longer the day dragged on, the more sick soldiers were.

Fortunately, the army marched in the mountains and forests, and there were trees as far as the eye could see, and dozens of simple stretchers were quickly made. Then the whole army lifted a hundred and ten stretchers and set out on the journey again.

The drizzling rain became heavier and heavier by noon, and it stabilized at the level of moderate rain for a moment. The original scenery of the mountains and forests filled with smoke and rain and fog is gone, and the smile on the corner of Ling Liang's mouth has turned into a bitter smile of anger: This thief God. It's against him. "My luck is really "back"! There was a lament in his heart, but he could only give the order to urge the whole army to move quickly.

Three days later.

A small valley more than 20 miles south of Chishui City.

Under a curtain to cover the rain, Lu Guohua with three relatives was tightly shrunk under the curtain. The four of them leaned together, but they could still feel the chill coming from them.

"Damn, this rain is getting harder and harder." He glanced out of the tent, and on the surface of several small puddles in the mountains, dense needle-like raindrops were dripping down. "What a bad luck!" Lu Guohua sighed.

It was drizzling all the time ago, but who knew that it would rain lightly in the middle. Two days and nights of light rain was followed by moderate rain, and today it turned into heavy rain. The weather seemed to have dropped a lot suddenly, and he could feel a chill now huddled in the curtain, let alone the Lingliang troops who were marching in the rain.

"Click--snap-" A faint sound of treading water came into Lu Guohua's ears, "Jiang Qi-, are you back?" Lu Guohua didn't think about it, and called out directly. There were only six of them who could come to this place at this time - and one was squatting in another spot. According to the prior assignment, each person went out to watch for an hour. Now that you do the math, it's time for Jiang Qi to turn back.

Jiang Qi, the old man in the Lu family's team, is definitely a reliable one.

"Fourth master, the person has arrived-" In fact, Jiang Qi didn't understand the identity of the person he brought in, three days ago, he and four other Lu family guards were led into the mountains northwest of Chishui City by Lu Guohua, and the six people came here with food pieces to squat. It must have been something important, but it didn't explain it to him.

But he knows who he is, don't ask what he shouldn't ask, there are many times when he knows too much is not necessarily a good thing.

Lu Guohua stood up with a "pout" after hearing this, and then rushed out of the tent, staring at the person behind Jiang Qi with his eyes. There is indeed a yellow scarf tied on the head, and in addition, the cloth robe and pants are all one color of cyan, which is the companion of the connector in the agreement!

Looking at his face again, Lu Guohua was suddenly shocked, "Second General Ling, it's actually you-" The person who came Lu Guohua was very familiar, although the two had not spoken a word before, but he recognized Ling Dong, this is Ling Liang's own brother.

"Haha, Brother Guohua has been absent for a long time." Ling Dong clenched his hands into fists, and a comfortable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he finally arrived at the place.

A flattered excitement instantly filled Lu Guohua's heart, Ling Dong is Ling Liang's brother, Ling Liang's strength is three points stronger than Zhao Mingde, the boss of the Lu family, the Lu family is just a small soldier in Zhao Mingde's army, only Ling Dong's identity can make Lu Guohua and his eldest brother Lu Guoyun stammer, and now Ling Dong is called 'Brother Guohua' is not flattered.

"Second General Ling?" Jiang Qi and the others were immediately stunned, God, a joint was actually called a general by the fourth master, or General Ling Er, that is too funny, right? Who in the whole of Fujian doesn't know who General Ling is referring to.

"Please, please come in." Lu Guohua was respectful as if he was a grandson, and asked Ling Dong to enter. He himself followed closely behind Ling Dong, and when he was about to enter the curtain, Lu Guohua paused, looked back and glanced at another personal guard named Feng Jin, "Go, call Lao Wu back." ”

Lao Wu is the guard who is squatting at another point, and now that Ling Dong has arrived, then Wu Sheng naturally doesn't need to squat there anymore.

Feng Jin nodded, then turned his head and ran towards the woods not far away. Lu Guohua and Jiang Qi and others entered the account.

Ling Dong sat in the center of the tent without giving in, "Brother Guohua, I don't know how Brother Ling has done everything?" ”

"The second general can rest assured, as long as my news arrives, he will be able to do it in a short time." Lu Guohua's tone was categorical. Thinking about it, his eldest brother is also a regular guard in Chishui City, and it is not easy to invite Zheng Haoyou and Ding Yi to have a drink.

The most important thing is that Chishui City is not a front line, just a guarded village, since the Ming and Qing dynasties, it has been the main passage and commercial place for merchants in Youxi, Datian, Yongchun and other places. But except for a few people from the Lu family, who knew that Ling Liang was going to come and join Yongchun Prefecture so soon. There was no tension at all in Chishui City.

After a short time, Feng Jin and Lao Wu had already turned back. At the same time, dozens of strong men brought by Ling Dong were also revealed.

"Second general, this-" After Lu Guohua called Ling Dong, his eyes swept over the five people present, this is asking for instructions, is it okay to do serious things.

When Ling Dong saw Lu Guohua, his heart had already been put back in his stomach, and at this time, he looked at the five guards present neatly, and then nodded heavily at Lu Guohua.

Isn't it time to get down to business? first went down to Chishui City, then took Dehua County, and then went straight to Yongchun Prefecture.

His eldest brother Ling Liang has always hoped to be closer to the sea, and won't it be next to Quanzhou if he takes Yongchun Prefecture. Quanzhou mountainside is the largest salt production place in Fujian, although the quality and output are far from being compared with Lianghuai and Zhejiang, and the price is also high, but no matter how high it is, it can't be as high as the tea silk in your hand, right?

Previously, the Ling family could only exchange tea silk for salt and grain at a low price.

Fujian is a cramped place with many people, and because of the prosperity of the coastal commodity economy and handicraft industry, the people here have been stimulated to invest most of their limited land resources in the cultivation of cash crops. In previous years, the food needs were imported from Huguang, Taiwan and Siam. But now that the war is going on, don't look at it for just two or three years, the impact here is unimaginably huge.

The people don't know how many acres of land have been restored into farmland!

The tens of thousands of troops who had been trekking hard for many days in the lofty mountains were now quietly lurking in a relatively flat woodland between several connected nameless hills.

Under a tall green pine, the verdant canopy of the tree is like a big umbrella cage covering everyone's heads. A few spears propped up an oil curtain tent and set up a simple tent, Ling Liang had a straight face, and he had been sitting upright since the second Ling Dong went out.

"Big brother-" Ling Dong's voice came from afar, and he walked through the solemn pro-military camp and ran into the tent with the rain in his body. He said loudly: "I have already found someone from the Lu family, and now he has returned to Chishui City to deliver the letter." After saying that, the water droplets on his hair fell again, and Ling Dong wiped the rain from his face and threw it out casually.

The corners of Ling Liang's mouth immediately curled, and he found the connector of the Lu family, and the matter was more than half settled.

……

Just when tens of thousands of Ling Liang's troops were marching in the southeast direction, Lu Guohua was also trying his best to rush to Chishui City. Days of rain have made the trail quite slippery, and it is even more difficult to walk. On one downhill trip, he slipped and fell to the ground without paying attention to his feet, and the whole person slipped sideways from the slope until he hit a tree trunk at the bottom of the slope.

However, the muddy rain on his body could not cool Lu Guohua's heart full of firepower, and what he had been looking forward to for half a month was about to come true today, and a huge sense of joy filled his body and mind all the time.

The Lu family is mixed in the hands of Zhao Mingde, although Chishui City is also a good piece of fat, but it can't be compared with Dehua and Yongchun at all, not to mention that this piece of fat is not eaten by the Lu family alone. can be sent to Ling Liang's tent with this great credit, and then there will be a day for them to come out.

Turning over and getting up, Lu Guohua wiped the mud off his face, and rushed into the rain again in the direction -

An hour later, Chishui Town.

In the courtyard of Lu Guoyun's residence, Lu Guohua, who was covered in mud, was wiping his face and neck with a dry cloth towel. Then wrap the cloth towel around your head, and you're done. "Big brother, Ling Liang's soldiers and horses have already arrived, and they are only twenty miles away from Chishui City."

"How many are there?"

Ling Er said that there were 20,000. I don't know for sure. Ling Liang really brought 20,000 soldiers, and Chen Jie was able to take his lair. ”

"No matter how much it is, we can only advance and not retreat. Come on, go and invite Zheng Haoyou and Ding Yi to come. He wants to invite them to drink. Lu Guoyun's hands were intertwined and rubbed together, his lips were tight, and the muscles on his face twitched from time to time, both nervous and excited, and the high emotions made him restless.

……

Just when Chen Ming had just received the news of Zhao Mingde's death, another flying pigeon from the Fujian Secret Camp sent an urgent report that the Zhao family, who had just died, was annexed by Ling Liang. This person is estimated to have just been defeated and retreated, so he immediately organized his troops to go south, and he had already contacted Neiying to prepare, Chishui City and Dehua were taken bloodlessly, and Yongchun Prefecture was also defeated in two days. "Good fellow, but a good merger!"

In today's Fujian, only Jianning Mansion [Fucheng] in the entire northern Fujian Province still has a small amount of territory controlled by the Tiandihui Righteous Army, and the rest of the land: most of Jianning Mansion, Shaowu Mansion and Funing, Fuzhou, and Xinghua along the coast are under the control of the Qing army.

Chen Ming ordered the 1st Division and the Guards Brigade to go south to Wenzhou!
