Chen Jin died, and almost the entire Governor's Mansion knew about it when Li Zhifang got the news. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 But even so, he still gave the order to close the door in the capacity of Zanhua, in case the news leaked too quickly.

For Chen Jin, after this year-long fierce battle in western Zhejiang, Li Zhifang has long ceased to be not only a Shangguan, but also recognized him as a benefactor who has always sheltered him from the wind and rain and has the grace of knowing and encountering. Whether it was his abandonment of Yiwu County, which had no city walls, and the withdrawal of the defenders besieging Luochengyan, or the later recovery of Jinhua by the Ming army, and the appointment of him, a fugitive official from the lost city, as the governor's mansion, and the impeachment again and again since then, Chen Jin didn't care about how others Li Zhifang was, at least he was indeed gracious.

But now, Chen Jin is dead, the fall of the city is inevitable, and Chen Wen's army is gone, and this big rock across the road is bound to be difficult to stop.

Li Zhifang was unwilling, but he was a praised painting from a fallen governor, and he couldn't do anything about it. At this moment, the sky is far from dawn, and it is necessary to take advantage of this time to minimize the damage.

Expecting that the Ming army would inevitably launch a general attack tomorrow, Chen Jin had already left a preparatory plan to save his life, and it was Li Zhifang who was responsible for the implementation. There is still enough time, and we must do it as soon as possible.

Awakened in his sleep, Chen Wen, who had been sleepy-eyed, looked at the brocade box in front of him in a daze, as well as the four panicked house slaves.

The head and seal letter in the brocade box had been taken to the prisoner camp to confirm that they indeed belonged to Chen Jin, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, and Chen Jin had used them at least a few hours ago. And now, they are lying in front of Chen Wen's eyes, which can really be described as impermanent.

Since the beginning of the fourth year of Yongli, Chen Jin planned to completely eliminate the Ming army in Zhejiang and the battle of Dalanshan and Zhoushan, and then to the battle for hegemony in western Zhejiang that began from Chen Wen's recovery of Jinhua, Chen Jin, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, has always been his biggest opponent.

In October of the fourth year of Yongli, Chen Jin sent Jin Li, the general of Gushan Ezhen Pingnan, and Tian Xiong, the governor of Zhejiang, to exterminate the Ming army of Siming Mountain......

In August of the fifth year of Yongli, Chen Jin, Jin Li, Tian Xiong, Zhang Jie, Dinghai General Army, and Gushan Ezhen Liu Zhiyuan captured Zhoushan City, forcing the Zhoushan Ming army to leave Fujian......

In November of the fifth year of Yongli, Zhang Guoxun, the deputy general of the Supervisory Battalion, and the Jinhua General Soldier Ma Jinbao and the Fubiao and Shaoxing Green Battalion joined forces to encircle the Chen Wensuo Division, which had just recovered Dongyang and Yiwu counties, and almost made its previous achievements go to waste......

In April of the sixth year of Yongli, Chen Jinqin's commander Biao Battalion raided the Nantang camp that had smuggled into Lingxi, and if it weren't for Chen Wen's subordinate Li Ruixin who got inspiration from Chen Wen's tactics, the first attack on Quzhou would have ended in defeat for the Ming army......

In September of the sixth year of Yongli, after Chen Wen quelled Cao Conglong's rebellion, he personally raised a large army to attack Quzhou, while Chen Jin concentrated twice as large an army as him, and even copied the formation of the Mandarin Duck Formation with the Governor Battalion, trying to eliminate the Ming army of Chen Wen's department in one fell swoop......

In the past two years, Wang Yi's martyrdom, Wang Jiang's capture and the Zhoushan massacre have all been related to Chen Jin, a Manchu Qing official, and it was he who personally destroyed the anti-Qing forces in the entire Zhejiang in history. But now, Chen Jin's head lies quietly in the brocade box, and his historical exploits to the Manchu Qing have also been subverted with the rise of Chen Wen.

At this moment, Chen Jin is dead, Quzhou is naturally not a problem, and the surrounding prefectures and counties are also beckoning to him. Half of this year's goals have been accomplished, and all that remains is to expand the occupied zone as quickly as possible in preparation for next year.

"Change your plan, tomorrow morning, attack the city!"

………………

Outside the water gate west of Quzhou's capital city, Li Zhifang slowly sailed to the opposite shore with two canopy boats.

These two ships were intended by Chen Jin to escape, one ship was loaded with people, and the other boat was loaded with plundered goods, and Chen Jin originally planned to escape once Quzhou was lost. But now, Chen Jin is dead, and these ships and goods have all fallen into the hands of Li Zhifang, who is in charge of this matter, and he will naturally not be stupid enough to abandon it and stay in Quzhou Mansion City to wait for death.

Although the water battalion of the Ming army almost completely annihilated the Quzhou water camp and was no match on the Qujiang River, they did not have black technology such as searchlights that Li Zhifang had never heard of, and the Ming army water camp that was always in Jinhua knew very little about the hydrology of the Qujiang River, so the warships naturally did not dare to go out easily in the dark night. For Li Zhifang, this Qujiang defense line can almost be said to be undefended.

After leaving Quzhou, he returned to Beijing to find Zhu Zhixi and Ji Zhenyi, told them what happened here, and used the goods taken away by the three of them in batches to exonerate Chen Jin's family, and repay this kindness. The rest can also exonerate them, change places and continue to be officials, and there will always be a chance to avenge this arrow.

Full of hope, Li Zhifang set sail, but he didn't notice that the other Chen Jin's staff members who had evacuated together were constantly making eye contact, and looking at his back was also flickering.

"Chen Jin shouldn't have asked the cook if he cooked human meat for him, but should have asked the person who served the food if he served him fake wine."

Chen Wen's ridicule immediately caused the generals in the tent to laugh, Chen Jin's four house slaves, the Ming army had been interrogated several times before, and they knew the cause of Chen Jin's death, as well as important information such as troops, defenses, roads, important facilities, and key officials in the city. The staff officers of the General Staff Department drew up the map, and at the same time adjusted the tasks of the various departments participating in the war, aiming to control the city as quickly as possible and prevent the Qing army from routing and harming the people.

The cause of Chen Jin's death, according to what they said, was that Chen Jin was defeated by Chen Wen several times, and he frequently became angry and obedient, beating him at every turn, and last night he even said that the mutton he ate for dinner was human flesh, beating the cook to death, and beating Lu Pichang half to death. A few of them felt that Chen Jin was driven crazy by Chen Wen, for fear of being brutalized by the increasingly moody Chen Jin, so they had to strike first.

This statement will certainly get a lot of sympathy in modern times, but in this era, killing a master as a domestic slave is a great crime that is harmful to the feudal ruling order, taboo for rulers, and not tolerated by the times.

It's just that Chen Jin was so mad that he executed all the grain merchants in the city, and gathered all the grain in his hands for the defenders and reinforcements to use. Leaving food for reinforcements, many Qing troops have done this, and there are many such tricks in the future in history, such as when Li Dingguo besieged Xinhui, the Qing army had food people, and even the soldiers in the city were not spared, not to mention ordinary people.

But even so, there are few people like Chen Jin who are so frenzied and planned to turn the people of the city into two-legged sheep for the defenders. For a while, even the generals of Chen Wen who were extremely dissatisfied with these four people killing their masters as slaves were speechless, and only Chen Guobao, who had always been outspoken, was still urging Chen Wen to execute these people to correct discipline.

"Among the people who are working with you to be Chen Guobao's slave, is there one named Ku Chengdong?"

"Back to the lord, the villain has never heard of someone named Ku Chengdong."

Ku Chengdong, Chen Wen remembered that in some history books, it was clearly written that this person assassinated Chen Jin, but when he defected to Zheng Chenggong, he was executed by Zheng Chenggong.

This account is said to be wrong, and there are errors and omissions in the time and characters, but if you think about it carefully, with Zheng Chenggong's character, such a guy who kills the master with slaves, he was dragged down and executed if he didn't get it right. But for Chen Wen, how to deal with them still has to seek the advice of professionals, and before that, of course, the surplus value must be squeezed clean.

Early the next morning, the Ming army of the brigade rushed out from the various camps besieging the city and lined up outside Quzhou. And just in front of the army, these four house slaves stood outside each city wall and shouted to the city, claiming that Chen Jin was dead and that the Ming army was lenient in its policy of surrendering. Especially outside the Lixian Gate in the south of the city, Li Jinzhong, who was dressed as a governor in person, even carried the money rat tail behind Chen Jin's head to expose the head of the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian to the vision of the defenders.

A moment later, the exclamation of the Governor's death resounded throughout the city. After another moment, as the city gate was opened and the drawbridge fell, a large number of Manchu officials and defending generals surrendered to this Xiongcheng in western Zhejiang, where the military and people's hearts were all scattered.

"Pass on the commander's order, the army will enter the city!" (To be continued.) )
