"Betraying the court is a dead end!"

There are only more than 20 steps apart, with Zheng Zhiwen's archery skills, and the Taizhou Qing army is stunned anyway at this moment, it can be said that there is no reason to miss the shot at all. www.biquge.info It can even be said that even if you can't shoot, if you can't shoot it, you can hear it from the soldiers of the Daobiao Battalion, and there is the city gate not far away, even if you can't beat it, you can rush out of the city.

It's a pity that when Zheng Zhiwen took the bow and arrow, in the Taizhou Qing army anyway, a sharp arrow had already come out of the string and penetrated directly through the mouth he had just opened, and he was stunned to block the back word that was about to exit. It seems to be telling him that the word betrayal, you Zheng Zhiwen are not worthy of talking about others!

The half-opened bowstring returned to its original state as the force disappeared, and the moment the arrow landed, Zheng Zhiwen's eyes widened only the trembling bowstring in the hand of a Qing army infantryman in the distance.

"Brother Gan, well done!"

Historically, Zheng Zhiwen escaped from Fucheng with his subordinates when Ma Xin was anyway, and it was not until the autumn of the second year that Zheng Chenggong sent the general Zhang Ying as the commander and attacked Taizhou again with Ma Xin as the vanguard, and Zheng Zhiwen died in that battle. But now, Zheng Zhiwen is dead, he never thought that the officer sent by Ma Xin was a chief of the special operations team of the Marquis of Anyuan's Mansion, and this chief took two she, plus a full twenty team members, just in case of this at this moment!

After complimenting the archer of his team, Gan Cang, the officer clamped the belly of the horse, and walked to the officer who was close to Ma Xin.

"The rabbit is already startled, rush in."

Hearing this, the officer who trusted him glanced at Gan Cang with trepidation, and then at the members of the special operations team who had always been silent but maintained the best posture of weapons, and then immediately ordered the whole army to go straight to the Daobiao battalion.

………………

The general army of the sailor rushed to the city, looking at the head of the city as if it was facing a great enemy, although he guessed that Ma Xin had ordered the whole city to be on guard, but he always felt that something was not right, but he couldn't say anything.

The sky was already bright, and the Ming army was far from arriving, and the chief soldier of the Navy Division naturally would not enjoy the treatment of sitting in a hanging basket. After entering the city, the general soldiers of the naval division rushed to the camp under the leadership of Ma Xin's personal soldiers, but when he entered the camp, the first scene he saw was that the body of Zheng Zhiwen, the garrison of the Daobiao Chinese army, was hung in the gate.

I secretly said that it was not good, but if I wanted to leave, it was already impossible. The chief soldier of the sailor entered the big tent hard, and after seeing the scene that Zheng Zhiwen saw last night, he completely understood it immediately.

"Ma Xin, are you crazy! Although the imperial court has suffered a small setback, it still controls the vast majority of China's land, whether it is Chen Wen or Zheng Chenggong, which one is worth it. ”

"Which one?" Ma Xin shook his head. "The saint's Yixia defense, the clothes of the ancestors and the ancestors, and the hair and skin of the parents, aren't these enough?"

Hearing this, the chief soldier of the Navy Division was stunned for a moment, and then sighed. "My parents, wives and children are all in my hometown, and if the Ming army is surrendered, they will be dead. Colleagues, I also hope that Brother Ma can give me a whole corpse, and it will be convenient for my family to come to pick up bones and return to my hometown in the future. ”

………………

At night of the same day, the advance troops of the Nantang battalion arrived at Linhai County.

After the guards of Xianju County learned the news that Ma Xin was about to arrive anyway, they simply turned to assist the Ming army because they knew that they were powerless to resist, so that they could make some contributions in the process of attacking Taizhou. The infantry went down by boat, the cavalry was fast, and Hou Guoyuan, the commander of the Nantang battalion, commander Zhenwei and the chief soldier of the regimental training, soon rushed to Linhai County.

"The last general, Hou Guoyuan, came to listen to the dispatch of the general army of Hou Ma on the order of the marshal."

"Mr. Hou is polite." Holding Hou Guoyuan who bowed with both hands, Ma Xin hurriedly said: "General Hou has followed Hou Ye for many years, and the last general is just a new vote, not deserved, deserved." ”

Glancing at Ma Xin, Hou Guoyuan said to the black-faced military general in front of him: "There is nothing to be ashamed of, my Zhejiang Wang Shi can talk about class, demolition, seniority and the like in private, but not in official affairs." This time, Hou Ye had an order, and my Nantang battalion and the special task force listened to the dispatch of General Ma, and they were mainly based on General Ma. ”

"Taught."

Recently taken refuge, although Ma Xin has understood the truth here, he still doesn't dare to hold it up. On the one hand, it is a habit that has been cultivated for many years, and on the other hand, it is necessary to be a general under Chen Wen in the future, and it is better to be harmonious with colleagues.

"Master Hou's plan must have been told to General Hou, now that the Nantang battalion has arrived, please send a part of the sergeants to the Haimen guard to receive the Taizhou Navy Division with the last general."

With such a lot of effort, Chen Wen's most important purpose was not to take down Taizhou and Wenzhou in one go, but to take Taizhou and Wenzhou in one go, what he wanted was the Taizhou Naval Division of 3,000 people, which was really vital to the Zhejiang Ming Army that was still being rebuilt.

Although Ma Xin is a general, Chen Wen has already ordered him before, and he is at the disposal of Ma Xin in this battle, and Hou Guoyuan is the most core officer under Chen Wen, so naturally he has nothing to say. That night, Ma Xin led part of the army of the Nantang battalion to Haimen Guard by boat, leaving Hou Guoyuan to sit in the capital city, while the other army was already waiting on the road.

When approaching the sea gatekeeper, before the sky was bright, a member of the special task force who was following Ma Xin released a secret signal as agreed, and summoned another part of the special task force that was ambushed here.

"Team Leader Luo, can the Tartars of the Sea Gate guard be aware of it?"

This time, in addition to assisting Ma Xin in the city, the task of the task force was to guard near the sea gate guards to intercept and kill the messengers.

"There shouldn't be, everything is normal in the Acropolis, but in the past two days, everyone who went to Haimen was captured and imprisoned by our department."

These days, the remaining 60 or so members of the special task force have been guarding both sides of the Lingjiang River, intercepting all those who go to the sea gate. Especially those who look like messengers, they would rather kill by mistake than let them pass, in case the news of the change in the city reaches the sea guards. Fortunately, there was a lot of time, but in the past two days, Ma Xin started to detain all the civil and military forces in the city, took over the yamen, and closed the city gates.

After seeing the prisoners, Ma Xin hurriedly entered the city with a few officers, while the Nantang battalion was on standby at the ambush point of the special task force.

After entering the Acropolis, everything was as it was on weekdays, but there were fewer ships in the water village than expected. But Ma Xin didn't care, most of those ships were on the coast to make cameo pirates, or simply engaged in maritime trade, even the smaller ones could go out to fish, and when they were not fighting, they went to sea to earn some extra money, and even when they arrived at the Beiyang Naval Division, this was the unspoken rule of the Naval Division, and naturally it was not a big deal.

Ma Xin came in person, and only took these few officers, and the officers of the middle battalion and the guerrillas of the left battalion who stayed behind were all uneasy, especially now that the general soldiers of the naval division had already been ordered to go to Fucheng, the smell of conspiracy was too strong.

"Don't hide it from you, An Yuanhou of Zhejiang Wangshi has sent a large army into Taizhou Mansion, and the commander is determined to return to the Ming Dynasty anyway, and now the Nantang Battalion, as the vanguard, has been stationed in Fucheng, what do you think?"

One stone entered the water, and the waves did not rise, but sank straight to the bottom. When the officers of the Navy Division present heard Ma Xin's words, they looked at Ma Xin dumbfounded, but they immediately reacted to the inside story of Ma Xin's invitation to the commander of the Navy Division, the garrison of the middle battalion and the guerrilla of the left battalion.

"Dare to ask Mr. Ma, is my handsome family okay?"

"Mr. Ma is here, but he wants to coerce us into rebellion?"

Compared with the guerrillas of the Left Battalion in Taizhou for a long time, the Chinese garrison of the middle battalion was a close confidant of the chief soldier of the naval division, and his first reaction was to ask his general how he was.

"Unharmed."

Knowing that their own general was not dead, the officers of the middle battalion were all relieved, and even the officers of the left battalion were also like this. Looking at his colleagues around him, the right hand of the left battalion guerrilla on the saber did not let go.

At this moment, there are only four officers brought by Ma Xin in the lobby, although it seems that these guys are not good characters, but there are more than a dozen officers in their Taizhou Navy Division, and they still have a good chance of winning with the crowd. If you go out of the lobby, the entire general army yamen and the entire sea gate guard are all soldiers of their Taizhou sailors, and it is impossible for Ma Xin to escape.

Whether to raise troops and surrender, or to slaughter Ma Xin and the people he brought, is not a small question.

raised troops and surrendered, then they could only follow the Ming Dynasty, in other words, they could only make a living in the Zhejiang Ming Army. But if Ma Xin is killed, the Taizhou Green Battalion will be lowered, and the Nantang Battalion will be stationed in Fucheng today, it is no longer possible to defend the sea gate, and they can only escape by boat. Besides, Ma Xin dared to bring these people here, and he must have made preparations a long time ago, God knows what it will be.

In the blink of an eye, countless thoughts passed through the guerrilla of the left battalion, weighing back and forth, so that the sweat on his face had attracted almost everyone's eyes to him.

After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, the guerrilla of the left battalion asked: "General Ma claims that my family is unharmed, is there any evidence?" ”

The implication of the guerrilla attack in the left battalion is clear: if the general soldiers of the naval division cannot be spared, they are afraid that they may not be able to end well on the side of the Ming army. As soon as these words came out, the officers of the water battalion, who had already breathed a sigh of relief, turned their eyes back to Ma Xin's body, and one by one they couldn't help but press their hands on the hilt of the sword and the hilt.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the lobby was like an arrow on the bow, and it was about to erupt, and the breathing of both sides became heavier and heavier, that is, the officers brought by Ma Xin were already looking at each other and choosing the target to attack.

"I knew it was going to be like this."

The next moment, I saw Ma Xin push away an officer who was standing in front of him and took out a letter in his arms. It's just that he didn't hand it over to the left battalion guerrillas, but gave it to the middle battalion and the Chinese army to garrison, and it was clear that this person would identify whether there was a mistake.

The Chinese garrison of the middle battalion took the letter, read it back and forth a few times, and then gave color to several officers of the middle battalion beside him, and knelt down on one knee in front of Ma Xin.

"The lowly rank obeys the command."

The chief soldier of the Navy Division wanted to save his family and clansmen with his death, but Ma Xin did not do what he wanted. Because he knew very well that he wanted to collect the Taizhou Water Division, and the role of the chief soldier of the Water Division was very great, so he asked him to take him into custody, saying that once the matter of Taizhou was over, it would be up to him to choose and would not stop it. As for this letter, it is indeed the handwriting of the chief soldier of the water division, and the current prestige of the Ming army in Zhejiang, he doesn't want those cronies to die senselessly in this anyway.

It's just that for the guerrillas of the left battalion, whose orders the officers of the middle battalion obeyed, the chief soldier of the naval division was still Ma Xin, and it couldn't be him anyway. Just now, he inquired about the safety of the commander-in-chief of the naval division, and he did not have the ambition to receive the heart of the middle battalion army in his hands. However, Ma Xin did not give him a chance, he didn't have time to bring the letter, and handed it directly to the officers of the middle battalion, obviously he had already expected it, and at this moment he saw his plan.

"Everyone, please." Helping the officers of the middle battalion up, Ma Xin turned to look at the left battalion. "What about you?"

The number of people was no longer superior, but the guerrillas of the left battalion were still a little hesitant, but at this moment, one of his personal soldiers rushed in and shouted the shocking news that "the Nantang battalion has been killed under the city".

Nantang Camp is here!

In the lobby, there was a stunned pause, and even the eyes of the officers of the middle battalion began to drift. The officers of the left battalion were even more swords and long knives in their hands, and they confronted the officers brought by Ma Xin.

"I brought the Nantang camp, it's just a striker, Hou Guoyuan is in Fucheng now, but there is anyone who doesn't believe it?"

Compared with several of Chen Wen's generals, especially Li Ruixin, who is known for crossing Lingxi with less than one battalion to defeat the Dubiao battalion, and Yin Yue, who has the reputation of being good at defending Jinhua overnight with his small strength to resist the Eight Banners of the Han Army, Hou Guoyuan is just a newly rising general, but the command of the Nantang battalion is enough to deter these Qing generals.

From beginning to end, Ma Xin did not intend to rely on the sharp soldiers of these special operations teams to subdue the officer corps of the water battalion, and took them with him, just in case. At this moment, the banner of the Nantang battalion has appeared, and the officers of the water battalion have no courage to resist under Ma Xin's strong self-confidence, and they drop their weapons one after another and bow down in front of Ma Xin.

"The last general and others must obey Ma Shuai's orders."

………………

The next day, the follow-up troops of the Nantang battalion arrived in Fucheng. According to the agreement, part of them went north to Ninghai with Hou Guo to guard against the Qing army in the direction of Ningbo, while the other part stayed in Fucheng to sit in the town, taking care of these Taizhou sailors, and waiting for the garrison drawn by Chen Wen to arrive in Taizhou to take over the defense.

After the advance force of the Nantang battalion took over the Haimen guard, Ma Xin rushed to Taiping County with a team of sharp soldiers of the special operation team. Previously, he had sent a messenger to invite Hu Laijing, the deputy general of Wenzhou, to come and discuss military affairs.

Taiping County was established as a county in the Ming Dynasty, and later generations changed to Wenling because of the same name as many Taiping counties in other provinces, and it was taken as the other name of Wenqiao Ridge in the west of the city. Taiping County is the southernmost county of the six counties in Taizhou, but it is also the ground of Taizhou, not Wenzhou.

Thankfully, no one cares about this anymore. Taizhou and Wenzhou are all under the Ming army's troops, and there are nearly 10,000 green battalions in Ningbo, north of Taizhou, but there is only one town of 3,000 people in Funing Prefecture, Fujian, south of Wenzhou, and 1,000 soldiers and horses are still newly expanded. The Qing troops in the two places could only survive if they were warm in a group, that is, the civilian officials in charge of the local area had no objection to discussing military affairs.

When Hu Laijin arrived in Taiping County, Ma Xin had been waiting for a long time. The taste of Taizhou doesn't seem to be quite right, but for Hu Laijin, last year's Qingtian defensive battle and this year's offensive of Chuzhou, Ma Xin is far more reliable than those Fujian green battalions, and he has already lost the desire to fight with the Ming army in the field after participating in the battle of Shentangyuan, so it has become inevitable.

"Don't hide it from the virtuous brother, the foolish brother has already attached himself to the Ming Dynasty, and now under the account of the Marquis Chen of Zhejiang, the commander of the Zhejiang Wangshi, this time I am here to invite the virtuous brother to participate in the grand event."

Watching Ma Xin take off his helmet, revealing the head of a sleek monk who had been cut off the whip, it wasn't until a long time later that Hu Laijin let out a long sigh.

"Brother Ma, there is no turning back when I open the bow, it seems that I can't change this court if I don't change it." (To be continued.) )
