The battle to capture the city ended quickly, and it could even be said that it was over the moment when Chen Fugui rushed into the city gate and cut down those defenders, and the other commanders rushed in to reopen the city gate.

The original garrison guarding the barracks and the county government immediately completed the rectification under the leadership of the garrison and the military judge after discovering that the counterinsurgency troops had entered the city, and those defenders on the western city wall also scattered and fled after discovering that the counterinsurgency troops had entered the city under the banner of Chen Wen's general, and even the rebel defender did not make any more unnecessary resistance, but just put down his weapons after letting out a sigh of "I didn't even hold it for half an hour", and lived in the prison cell of the county government with the county magistrate and others.

The army led by Chen Guobao was used to attract the attention of the defenders from Tongqumen into Tangxi County, but did not take over the defense, but passed directly through the city, but Chen Wen stepped into the county government with a part of his entourage.

"Marshal, the crime of despicable duty deserves death......"

Chen Wen, who was arranging for his entourage to accept the military and political affairs of Tangxi County, glanced at the officers kneeling on the ground, including the garrison, the garrison judges, and the captains of the garrison teams, and really didn't bother to say anything to them.

Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve, and Cao Conglong threatened the families of these officers, and they were forced to choose to compromise on human favors. But the most important thing in the army is loyalty, and the warrior takes obedience to orders as his duty, which is one of his emphasises in the army, if everyone follows their example, who knows when the comrades around him will turn against each other, then the atmosphere of unity and unity that can easily form in the army will be replaced by suspicion again, and the combat effectiveness of the army, the only army that Chen Wen can rely on so far, will plummet.

But these officers in front of him are all those who have followed him from birth to death, especially the garrison headed by him. In the battle behind the palace of Siming Mountain that year, Chen Wen personally led the team to charge against the artillery fire of the standard battalion, and at the critical juncture of the last artillery bombardment of the Qing army, if it were not for a few long players from the first post to rush up and form a human wall, he was afraid that he would have been beaten into a sieve long ago, and there was this officer among them.

In the face of these former loyal and brave soldiers, the words "pull them all out and behead them to show the public" always swirled in Chen Wen's mouth, but he couldn't spit it out.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Wen summoned his own soldiers to imprison these officers and dispose of them after the rebellion was put down. Merely......

"As a military judge of the garrison, not only can you not maintain military law and discipline, supervise the officers and soldiers, but you also lead the people to rebel, regard loyalty and nothingness, pull out the head of the owl to show the public, circulate the whole army, and your wife did not enter the official mansion as a slave, thinking that the latecomer is a ring!"

"Yes!"

Ignoring the desperate pleas for mercy of the garrison military judge, Chen Fugui, who had already been promoted to the newly established captain of the personal guard cavalry, dragged the military judge out and handed it over to the accompanying military judge and the pacification soldiers, who were responsible for the execution and the summoning of the whole army.

After executing the garrison judge, the stuffiness in his chest was relieved a lot, and then Chen Wen motioned for an accompanying officer to come.

"Captain Ke, you've been in Tangxi County for more than half a year, and the defense here must know how to deploy and deal with it, huh?"

The captain Ke in Chen Wen's mouth was the officer who fled Longyou County with nearly half of the garrison a few days ago, and refused to rebel when the main general succumbed, plus the family of the captain of the infantry team was not in Fucheng, so Chen Wen did not hesitate to promote him to a garrison, acting as the guardian of Tangxi County, and guarding the back road for his counterinsurgency troops.

It's just that just when Chen Wen was still struggling with this highly grateful subordinate, Zhang Jun walked in with a pale face and sent a torn proclamation and a military order also stamped with the governor's seal to Chen Wen's hands. After Chen Wen read it hastily, his heart was on fire.

The proclamation was issued by Cao Conglong in Fucheng calling on the soldiers and generals of Jinhua Mansion to join him in defeating Chen Wen, a traitor, in which he not only reprimanded Chen Wen for his disloyalty to Lu Jianguo by using the matter of resisting the order to rescue Zhoushan and refusing to send troops to Taizhou, but also used Lu Wenlong's speculation to hype up Chen Wen's despicable behavior of framing two civilian officials of the prison army and the shocking conspiracy that may exist behind it.

Chen Wen was not surprised at all by Cao Conglong's attack on his character, the two sides had become hostile, and it was normal for him to appear here with the act of first defeating his opponent morally in the civil and official party struggle in the late Ming Dynasty, and this kind of thing did not only exist in history books, he had also seen too much on the Internet in later generations, so it was not surprising at all. At this time, what really made him angry was the military order issued by Cao Conglong.

In the struggle for rights, both sides will do everything they can, and there is nothing wrong with it. Cao Conglong's seizure of his right to command the army and the abolition of all his previous new policies and efforts were inevitable, but the appointment of the local gentry to form regimental training completely broke through each other's bottom line. This kind of means of hurting others and hurting oneself first obviously did not plan for the future at all, and it can even be said that Cao Conglong obviously did not intend to stay in this Jinhua Mansion from the beginning, so he simply turned it into a quagmire to drag him back to his division at any time, or the Qing army that entered Jinhua Mansion.

Unless......

Chen Wen didn't know if Cao Conglong wanted to be there, but in any case, it was like Pandora's box, and once it was opened, there was no possibility of stopping.

The scale of this rebellion may not have been what he imagined when he was in Quzhou, and it is no longer easy to quell the rebellion by taking Cao Conglong with a quick assault. Due to the completion of the merging of the two Qing armies in Quzhou, the main force of the expedition could only stay in Longyou County to defend the army; Hangzhou garrisoned the Eight Banners to the south, but since it had not yet appeared in Jinhua Mansion, it was obvious that it had not yet broken through the defense line of Anhua Town, but it was unknown how long it could support today when there was a rebellion inside.

From the beginning of learning of the rebellion, Chen Wen decided to quickly return to the division to quell the rebellion, and after eliminating the few rebels who were not too many, he could continue to march west into Quzhou, so as to remove the threat of the western front, and today's blitzkrieg of Tangxi County was the first step.

It's just that Cao Conglong called on the people to form a group practice, and at the same time allowed the group to practice the requisition of wasteland, but the entire Jinhua Mansion was completely ignited, and Chen Wen couldn't be clearer about what kind of face those gentlemen were, as long as he made any mistakes, he would fall into the quagmire and not pull out.

This time, there is really no time, and it is necessary to quell the rebellion before those regimental training are trained according to Qi Jiguang's military book in order to have a chance to restore the original order, otherwise what will be brought back is only a dangerous place.

Thinking of this, Chen Wen immediately recruited his entourage to continue to distribute tasks, and then took his own soldiers and personal guards cavalry out of the city to chase the marching army.

………………

At night, the Ming Dynasty Zhejiang Governor Yamen, located in Jiufang Lane, Jinhua Fucheng, has begun to turn on the lights, and at this time, because Tangxi County lit a beacon fire in the early morning, Cao Conglong, who estimated that Chen Wen had returned to the division to quell the rebellion, had to summon his generals to come to the meeting.

Taking advantage of this more than half a month, the defenders of Tangxi, Lanxi, Wuyi, Yongkang, and Jinyun counties had been forced to join him, and even the commander of the largest garrison, Liu Cheng, a guerrilla in Dongyang County, told his representative Lu Wenlong that he would follow Cao Conglong's orders and march eastward after the army gathered.

In addition to the newly recovered Quzhou Prefecture and Longyou County, the base area of the Jinhua Ming Army is only nine counties, and at present, only the garrisons of Yiwu and Pujiang counties remain, relying on the prestige of Yin Yue, the stubborn regimental training commander.

But just for that guy, Cao Conglong really didn't have anything to do, his family disappeared inexplicably from his hometown in Dongyang County, and the messenger sent back brought back if he refused to return the families of the officers under his command while maintaining military supplies, he led the Ming army on the northern front to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, and let the Qing army of the Eight Banners and other departments of the Hangzhou garrison that had gathered in Zhuji go south.

If this is all there is to it, the escape that broke out in Tangxi at the beginning of the rebellion made Ni Liangxu, who was sent to take over the power, give up the plan to transfer the garrison back to Fucheng, so that until now, only the garrisons of Lanxi, Wuyi and Jinyun counties have returned to Fucheng to join the sequence of Fubiao Battalion.

As for Yongkang County, according to rumors, it turned out that it was the newly formed regiment training troops that attacked the military households of the Yongkang County Guard, which led to the division of the garrison, and the garrison that had already announced that they belonged to Cao Conglong and his deputies each led a garrison to confront each other in the city, and even the officials of the county government were also controlled, and the entire Yongkang County was completely out of his control except for sporadic news.

The situation in Yongkang County is out of control, which makes him very uncomfortable, and he can only squeeze out some military supplies to continue to drag the matter in Yiwu, at least before he sends troops to Taizhou, he must prevent the military general from letting the Eight Banners Army in a hot head.

But now, in addition to the garrisons of the three counties that have been organized in the right battalion of Fubiao, which was commanded by Jinyiwei and Yang Can as the deputy commander-in-chief, Cao Conglong's hands only had Ding Zhuang, who was forcibly recruited from Jinhua County, and the prisoners who were taken out of the prisons in each county and changed to be confiscated. These people together numbered more than 2,000 people, but according to Zhou Qingui, He Decheng, Ni Liangxu, and his confidant Yang Can and other leading officers, even if they copied Chen Wen's training methods, it would not be possible to reach the level of a large army for a while. As for why, they don't understand.

Cao Conglong had seen the military drills, and even he, a soldier who had only read "The Art of War" and had never dealt with military affairs, could see that even if this Fubiao battalion attacked Taizhou, it would not be the opponent of the local Qing army. Not even he had that confidence, let alone anyone else.

Just as Chen Wen did not foresee that there would be a rebellion in the base area during his expedition to Quzhou, the inexperienced Cao Conglong also did not expect that the original plan to seize power and recover Taizhou and welcome the landing of the Yinglu Supervision Group would have so many surprises. However, there is only one way to get the deviated trajectory back to what was expected, and that is to spend more time with the generals under his command to train the army.

However, the victim of the rebellion caused by Cao Conglong, his colleague, Linhai Bo Chen Wen, who was canonized by Lu Jianguo, did not leave him this time, and the army to quell the rebellion had already appeared in Tangxi County, although the generals thought that there would not be too many, but how long it could hold out was still a question.

It's just that the shock brought by Chen Wen today is far from over, just when Cao Conglong and his subordinates were arguing about whether to send troops to rescue Tangxi County, Cao Conglong's confidant Lu Wenlong rushed into the hall of the meeting.

"Fu Jun, the big thing is not good, the rebel Chen Wen's water camp attacked the Wujiang wharf and robbed a large number of ferries, and at this moment the guy has begun to cross the river. If nothing else, the whole division will arrive in Fucheng tomorrow! (To be continued.) )
