On October 22 of the fifth year of Yongli, the Governor Battalion was stationed in Jinhua City, after which the Qing army began to send rangers to the direction of Yiwu to investigate and harass. Soon, the Qing army's rangers had gradually crossed Xiaoshun Town and invaded the territory of Yiting Town in the Ming army's occupied area.

From Wudian, to Yiting, to Fotang, Beilei, this is the actual line of control of the Ming army west of Yiwu County, and in this line of the area, the Ming army also has a large number of the most staunch supporters, and naturally it is impossible for the Qing army to step into this harassment place. So, with Chen Wen's order, the cavalry of the Ming army immediately set off from Yiwu County and entered the front line of Yiting Town to expel the Qing army's rangers.

The rangers of the two armies of the Ming and Qing dynasties observed, tested, and fought each other in the area between Xiaoshun and Yiting towns, and did their best to expel their opponents from this area, so as to shield their armies from leaving at any time.

Merely. With the stationing of the Inspector Battalion, the phenomenon of the Qing army disturbing the people was also greater than before. In fact, this is also extremely normal, generally speaking, the Qing army in the garrison county often has a certain degree of involvement with local forces, so most of them will be somewhat restrained, at least for the gentry and the family. But once you enter other prefectures and counties, or even just neighboring prefectures and counties to help suppress them, the disaster is far worse than the local garrison of the Qing army.

Historically, after Zheng Chenggong's defeat in the Battle of Nanjing, he helped the Qing army to suppress the atrocities of killing good people and taking meritorious deeds, forcibly robbing and selling people's women, and killing people and forcibly seizing people's property in the prefectures and counties occupied by the Ming army.

This time, because the local green battalion in Jinhua had suffered huge losses before and was unable to eliminate the Ming army alone, the high-level Qing army in Zhejiang gathered a large number of troops to assist in the encirclement and suppression, in a vain attempt to eliminate the Ming army in one fell swoop.

However, with the entry of these guest troops who had nothing to do with the local forces into Jinhua, the phenomenon of disturbing the people became more and more, especially at the moment when the local Qing army was exhausted. And they just finished the strategy against Zhoushan, and they were sent to help suppress without completing the normal rest, and under the resentment, they bred and fueled these **** who helped to suppress the Qing army.

For a time, Jinhua Mansion City and the neighboring counties of Lanxi and Tangxi would be reported every day to help the Qing army rob the people's daughters, loot the people's property, and even kill people and steal goods.

But. For these bloody cases created by the Qing army, which were already resentful, the local magistrate did not dare to take care of it, and Li Zhifang, who acted as an agent of the local general affairs, did not want to take care of the threat of the Ming army.

During this period, the two counties of Wuyi and Yongkang were relatively quiet for the time being due to their geographical location. However, the Qing army had already harassed it once when it passed by here, and waited for the Ming army to be wiped out. It is estimated that there will be another round when the green camp returns to defense. In this way, only Pujiang can survive in these eight Wu places, and it depends on whether the Fubiao camp intends to pass by there.

Originally, what Ma Jinbao had done in Jinhua over the years had been hated by the local gentry and people, but when these guest troops entered in turn, especially after the arrival of the Inspector Battalion, the local gentry and people suddenly found that Comrade Lao Ma also had a commendable side. At least when Ma Jinbao forcibly seized the people's wealth, he always clearly marked the price, saying how much he wanted. As long as the rules are given, it will be fine, but this group of guest troops. But it's clearly a group of mad dogs that bite people when they see them.

The deepening of the contradictions between the soldiers and the people in the occupied areas of the Qing army made these victims remember for a while that there was still a Ming army entrenched in Yiwu and Dongyang counties, although they were not optimistic about the future of this Ming army, but if they could borrow the hands of the Ming army to make these abusers pay more price, it would be very good to think about it.

So, he killed people with a borrowed knife. No, it was the idea of revenge by the hands of the Ming army, and Chen Wen ushered in one messenger after another.

It's just that this time the people who came were different from the past, and they swore by the credibility of the information one by one. However, their identities and the source of their information are kept secret.

Chen Wen was not blind to what was happening in the areas occupied by the Qing army, and naturally he was very aware of the thoughts of these people, but now it is true that there is a huge disparity between the strength of the enemy and us, and it is no wonder that they will act like this.

Thinking about this, Chen Wen did not intend to make it difficult for this strongman, after all, if the Ming army could defeat the Qing army, it still needed these powerful people in the local area to help the Ming army rule the local area.

With this in mind, Chen Wen sent each messenger a certificate written in Hanyu Pinyin, with a few crosses to prove that they had made contributions to the Ming army, and asked these messengers to bring back to those "Lei Feng" who "did good deeds without leaving a name", and said that after recovering this place, he would use this as a basis to ask the Son of Heaven for credit for them. As for whether they can understand it or not, it doesn't matter, Chen Wen can understand it himself.

After sending away several waves of messengers, Chen Wen began to study the authenticity of this information in combination with the news he had spooked. Not surprisingly, although there are contradictions and irrationalities between each other, these pieces of information are more or less reliable on key issues, and this key point is the movement of the Qing army.

According to the information obtained from these two aspects, Chen Wen learned that the Qing army on the southern front had gathered in Jinhua Fucheng at this moment, and their cavalry was only east of Fucheng facing Yiwu. The intentions of the Qing army could not be more obvious, and from several of the more detailed information, Chen Wen also estimated the approximate time of the Qing army. In this case, he did not intend to continue to observe and probe and start mobilizing the army.

In the military camp outside the west city of Yiwu County, a large area of camp area was hastily built here for training the army, and a large number of camp tents were placed. At this moment, in the big tent of the Chinese army in the center of the camp, all the officers of the bureau and above under Chen Wen's command have arrived, and even Sun Yu, the prefect of Jinhua, has rushed over, ready to provide logistical support for the upcoming military operation.

The participants were already in place, and Chen Wen gave a general report on the overall situation and the strength and movements of the Qing army, and then arranged the task on the map of Jinhua Mansion on the table in the center of the big tent.

"Our department occupies Dongyang and Yiwu counties, and there is almost no strategic depth, and most of the recruits in the army are children of these two counties. Therefore, the commander decided that this battle should be kept outside the enemy, and the Tartars should not be allowed to invade the hinterland and kill the people. ”

This time, Chen Wen expanded his army to more than 7,000. But except for his original more than 1,000 veterans, all of them were recruits. Once the Qing army invaded the territory of these two counties, killing people and setting fires, the morale of the army would inevitably be affected, and there would be no need to fight the battle.

Seeing that the generals under his command had no objections, Chen Wen pointed to the map and continued: "This time, the Tartars are divided into two routes, the north and the south, and the northern line is divided into the east and west. Among them, the Tartar on the west road is the standard battalion of the governor of Zhejiang, with more than 2,000 soldiers. The auxiliaries are unknown, and they are expected to go south to Yiwu from Zhuji. Ben Shuai decided to use Deputy General Yin to lead the Dongyang Battalion to Zhengjiawu Town in the north and hold the west road of Tartar on the northern line......"

Zhengjiawu Town is located between the mountains in the east of the Pujiang River, and has always been known as the "North Gate of Jinhua". From here to the town of Anhua, known as the "South Gate of Zhuji", it is a narrow corridor area, through which the Anping Road Provincial Highway, the Shanghai-Kunming Expressway and the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway all pass through, and the Huangzheng Line that later started from this place can also enter the Pujiang River.

The Qing army marched south from Zhuji, and there were two roads to take, one of which had to pass through here. The other is to bypass this corridor area from the north of Anhua Town, go up the Puyang River into Pujiang County, and bypass Zhengjiawu Town from the other side of the mountain range and turn into Yiwu.

"In addition, the Tartars may also enter Pujiang County along the Puyang River, and then attack Yiwu from there, and you can decide how to act, but it is important to block the Tartars outside Yiwu County."

Leading a battalion alone to face the elite of the green battalion like the Zhejiang Governor's Standard Battalion, and as long as he can block the Qing army outside, it is a great credit. Yin Yue won this important task, which immediately aroused the envy of other officers. Even Yin Yue's face was quite complacent, but Wu Dengke, who had never been able to hide his words, seemed calm and unmoved.

"Marshal, isn't this battalion a little too much?"

Yin Yue knew very well that although this Fubiao battalion was not a weak brigade, there was still a certain gap compared with the raised battalion that the Nantang battalion had faced before. Last year, the Nantang battalion defeated more than 1,000 soldiers of the Tibiao battalion with 500 soldiers. And this time, Chen Wen gave him a battalion of 1,600 infantry, but all he needed to do was to block the 2,000 Fubiao battalion, which was too simple.

Moreover, this time the main force of the Ming army must go to the main force of the Qing army to fight, so it is naturally better to have more soldiers than less.

"Your task is not light. This matter needs no further discussion. ”

"The last will obey."

Seeing that Yin Yue and the four bureau commanders of the Dongyang Battalion retreated, Chen Wen also restrained his gaze from the generals, and then continued: "Deputy General Li. ”

"The end will be." Hearing Chen Wen's roll call, Li Ruixin hurriedly bowed his hand, and even those cavalry officers were ready to go.

"The Tartars went out of Shengxian County with our old opponent Shaoxing Green Battalion and went south to Dongyang, with more than 1,000 troops. Ben Shuai knows that you are good at using cavalry, but this time there is no cavalry brigade for you, and you need to try to drag down the Shaoxing Green Battalion, can you be confident? ”

Hearing Chen Wen's questioning, Li Ruixin, who has always been arrogant, is naturally the one who will not give in. "The last general will not fail in his mission!"

"Very good, Ben Shuai also believes that Vice General Li will definitely be able to complete this task."

"The Tartars attacked Yiwu with the remnants of the Biao Battalion, the Jinhua Town Biao Battalion and the three associations of Quzhou, Yanzhou, and Chuzhou, which were the main forces of the Tartars' encirclement and suppression. The general decided to personally lead the two battalions of Nantang and Yiwu and part of the reserve troops to send troops tomorrow to cross Yiting Town to meet the Tartars on the southern front and recover the city! ”

"The last general will obey!"

The general military deployment was basically completed, and all that remained was some detailed problems, and Sun Yu, who was sitting on the sidelines and listening, listened for a while, and suddenly remembered that there was a problem that had not yet been solved.

"Chen Shuai, almost all the troops are dispatched, so what about Luo Chengyan?"

"I've already made a decision on this matter, so I don't need to worry about it."

On this expedition, Sun Yu needs to be responsible for the logistics of the army, and Wu Dengke and Yin Yue, who are familiar with Zhou Qingui, also have tasks on their bodies, and they can't instigate Zhou Qingui. These Jinhua people, who served Dalan Mountain after Yin Can's death, were originally colleagues with Zhou Qingui and others, but they were dissatisfied with Zhou Qingui's small wealth and peace, and they would leave Dalan without an enterprising temperament, and there were no unspeakable contradictions and grudges in the middle, and naturally they did not want to see Chen Wen resort to any drastic means.

However, seeing that Chen Wen had no intention of continuing to talk about this issue, Sun Yu did not want to say more, until Chen Wen finished assigning military tasks, and the two made arrangements for logistics problems, in addition to requisitioning people, they mainly relied on water transportation.

After the military meeting was over, all the officers received their respective tasks to prepare, and Sun Yu mentioned another matter to Chen Wen.

"Furen, Governor Wang's mother wants to see you."

Wang Jiang's mother?

Isn't it that she has news of Wang Jiang? (To be continued.) )

PS: I suddenly found a problem, there was no Sanmen County in Taizhou during the Ming Dynasty, and the current Sanmen County belonged to Linhai and Ninghai at that time, and it was not established until the Republic of China. Although this question has nothing to do with the main plot, it has also been mentioned with Yu Guowang's experience during the Battle of Zhoushan. I'm really sorry.,Now that I've thought about it today.,This chapter is free.,It's an apology.。
