From the collapse of Master Jiang in the first year of Jian Guolu, until Chen Wenguang's recovery of Jinhua Mansion in the second half of last year, this land has fallen for as long as five years.

In the past five years, the Manchu Jinhua general soldier Ma Jinbao started from the Jinhua massacre, and has never moved, or rather, he has been cruel to the local gentry and people, and it can be said that he is the sworn enemy of Jinhua Mansion. And Chen Wen dragged him back to the most evil city after being captured alive and executed in public, and in the eyes of the locals, the identification of a hero is naturally indispensable.

Because of this, killing Ma Jinbao can not only vent his anger, but also inevitably have a more favorable impact on Chen Wen for the current situation of rebellion in Jinhua Mansion with Cao Conglong's formation of regimental training.

It's just that for Ling Chi's punishment on the execution platform, born in that era that has long been regarded as barbaric, Chen Wen really doesn't have much interest in this kind of punishment of cutting off pieces of meat. Of course, there is also a reason why Chen Wen lacks enough personal feelings about the evil deeds done by Ma Jinbao, a traitor, if it is Cao Conglong, who has just caused the Ming army to be forced to give up the momentum of total victory, he will be interested in appreciating the ugliness of the guy under punishment for a while.

However, now that Cao Conglong has disappeared, according to the investigation in the past two days, the last place where the governor's car appeared was the east city of Fucheng, and it was obvious that he had escaped from the city.

The Fubiao battalion of more than 2,000 people was completely annihilated under the psychological offensive without a battle, and there were no soldiers in his hands, and the next escape route of Cao Conglong was nothing more than to return to Kinmen, Fujian, through Taizhou and Wenzhou, or to go north to Yiwu and Dongyang to escape from Jinhua Mansion, and then continue north to Hangzhou.

Clear!

fled back to Fujian, the big thing did not come to fruition, and it also offended the last reliance of the Lu Jianguo group completely, even if Cao Conglong did not die, his career in this life was completely over; As for the Qing Dynasty, such an infighting dog may still be able to be an official when he arrives at the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but in this case, Chen Wen will be completely invincible in the current public opinion. At that time, even if someone forcibly slandered him with ass remarks such as "Chen Wen attacked friendly troops and forced Cao Conglong, who was a prison army, to surrender to the clear", not too many people would believe him. After all, at the moment, Confucianism is firmly sitting in Diaoyutai, and even Tartar has to wrap a layer of Confucian orthodoxy in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, not the Spring and Autumn Warring States period when they fled to other countries to borrow troops for revenge if they disagreed.

In any case, Cao Conglong was no longer afraid, and the key now before Chen Wen was how to minimize the impact and sequelae of the rebellion.

On the execution platform, the Ling Chi against Ma Jinbao was still going on, and from the fourth knife, there were gentry and ordinary people at the venue who took out silver to buy the meat that was slipped from Ma Jinbao's body.

"Eat Ru Meat, Sleep Ru Skin"

In the eyes of the ancients, this was the most normal act to express and vent hatred, and Yuan Chonghuan, the Jiliao Governor who was executed by Ling Chi twenty-two years ago, enjoyed such treatment. It's just that Ma Jinbao, a martial artist, did not have the level and opportunity to write poems such as "After death, there will be no brave generals, and the loyal soul will still guard Liaodong", so it is even more impossible to get the reputation of "national hero".

However, at this moment, Chen Wen did not have the effort to use the scene at the venue to think of the scene when Chongzhen was three years old, and the master in charge of the execution got up and returned to the governor's yamen when he rested for the first time, where there were more things that he needed to deal with as soon as possible.

Previously, when Chen Wen took Tangxi County, because it was not the center of the rebellion and the location was relatively remote, the details of Jinhua Mansion were not very clear. However, when he recovered the city, he quickly figured out the current situation from the information and documents that Cao Conglong left behind in the governor's yamen.

Tangxi and Fucheng have been recovered, but the two counties of Lanxi and Wuyi are still in the hands of the rebels, and the situation in Yongkang County is still unclear, in addition to a big or small problem, Jinyun County was captured by the Qing army in Chuzhou.

In fact, it was not so much the capture, but the original local garrison was transferred back to Fucheng, due to the chaos in Yongkang County, the rebel defenders were blocked on the road, resulting in the undefended Jinyun County. Jinyun was actually very close to the capital of Chuzhou, and when the battle in Quzhou was in full swing, the remaining troops of the Qing army in Chuzhou were bold enough to occupy the county seat of Jinyun County, the town of Wuyun, which had no city walls, and recovered the lost territory on the Manchu side.

This news was transmitted to the governor's yamen early the next morning after the Ming army took Tangxi and crossed the Dongyang River, after Chen Wen not only captured Longyou County in Quzhou, but also surrounded the capital city of Quzhou, and Cao Conglong's rebellion led to the fall of a county town in the area occupied by the Ming army.

In addition, Yin Yue, the chief officer of the Ming army on the northern front, and Lin Zhongxiao, a guerrilla general stationed in Anhua Town, sternly refused Cao Conglong's solicitation, and even the civil officials and garrisons of Yiwu and Pujiang counties did not participate in the rebellion, which made Chen Wen feel some comfort. However, Liu Cheng, the defender of Dongyang County, chose to rebel, thinking that the Baitou Army of Luochengyan was originally in this people's defense area, and it was likely that this guy would have participated in the rebellion earlier.

This guy is not to be afraid, as long as he appears in front of the Dongyang County garrison, those soldiers will definitely give up resistance, and Chen Wen still has this confidence.

However, Cao Conglong transported most of the grain, grass and military supplies accumulated in the capital city to Yushan Town in Dongyang County in this half month, trying to use this as an advance base for attacking Taizhou, and there was also a summer tax in Jinhua, Tangxi, Lanxi, Wuyi and Dongyang counties.

The army is scattered if there is no food, and the number of generals and officers under Chen Wen is nearly 10,000, and the use in the army is even greater. If it weren't for the aftermath of the big loan and forced a big supplement, he would never have been able to raise an army of such a scale to attack Quzhou while staying in Jinhua Mansion. At present, if he can't recover those resources as soon as possible, he will not be able to continue to sustain himself only with the tax revenue of Jinhua Province, whose agricultural production will inevitably be affected by the rebellion.

In addition, the military order to form regiments and train on their own is also a big problem that has been troublesome and troublesome, and the problem is even so big that there are varying degrees of tax resistance in all counties.

Tax resistance was a very normal thing in the Ming Dynasty, and there were many records in the history books, but this time the leaders of the tax resistance were those gentry and wealthy families who formed a regimental training, so that the overall nature has changed, and it is necessary to subdue all localities as soon as possible in order to minimize the degree of sequelae.

This rebellion is no longer something that can be passed on by taking the capital city, Chen Wen needs to use the county seat of each county as a fulcrum in order to use this counterinsurgency force of less than 1,000 people to regain control of the entire Jinhua Mansion.

Lanxi County is located at the confluence of the Qujiang River and the Dongyang River, down the river is the Qiantang River, the geographical location is extremely important, Chen Wen had sent Chen Guobao with the water camp and nearly half of the counterinsurgency troops along the Dongyang River west the day before yesterday, only by taking it back into his hands can he rest assured to recover the other counties. As for the Ming army in Yiwu and Pujiang and on the northern front, Chen Wen had already sent people to preach for comfort, and even Dongyang County had also sent messengers.

Hopefully, these places will be able to reclaim power smoothly, especially in Anhua Town, because according to intelligence, it should be under attack by the Eight Banners garrisoned in Hangzhou. (To be continued.) )
