August 12 of the fifth year of Yongli, Dinghai, Ningbo.

After last year's large-scale encirclement and suppression of Siming Mountain, the Qing army carried out another encirclement and suppression this year, and the number of soldiers dispatched was even more than when it faced the intact Ming army of Siming Mountain last year.

Until half a month ago, after the anti-Qing forces in the Siming Mountain area were broken by the Qing army, they either surrendered or died, and they were no longer able to carry out a diversion battle. At this time, the main force of the Zhejiang Qing army that poured out of the nest was also assembled and waited, just waiting for an order to send troops to besiege Zhoushan.

At this moment, Dinghai is already a gray-blue ocean. This time besieging Zhoushan, the Qing army in Zhejiang tried to complete its work in one battle, and all the mobile forces of the entire Zhejiang were dispatched.

The standard battalion of the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, the standard battalion of the governor of Zhejiang, and the standard battalion of the Dinghai General Army, plus the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty have all the personnel of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, so that the color of the clothes looks bells and whistles, and these troops will be transported by the naval division as the main force to set off from Dinghai. In addition, there are also local green battalions and regimental training in Ningbo, as well as the standard battalion of the governor of Zhejiang to assist in the defense of Ningbo to ensure the safety of the back road.

And this is only the Qing army on the front line of Ningbo.

In order to ensure that the battle could completely eliminate the Ming army in Zhoushan, Chen Jin, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, dispatched the Jinhua general soldier Ma Jinbao to lead his town standard battalion, as well as the green battalion and sailor soldiers of Taizhou to the north from Taizhou; At the same time, he applied to the Qing court for the general army of Wu Songshui's division to go out and advance from the north to the south to achieve complete victory.

Relying on the merit of betraying the Ming army of Siming Mountain and capturing the benefactor Feng Jingdi, Wang Sheng has been sent by a garrison of the Ningbo Green Battalion. Although it is far less imposing than the former general, this is also a genuine Qing army garrison, at least he has stood on the side of the victor, even if it is just a dog for the victor.

At this time, Chen Jin, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, had already sounded the drum of the generals, and Wang Sheng and Xu Lei, who had just been reinstated from office, talked and laughed along the way to the point platform.

It is said that there are four irons in life, they have carried guns together, they have gone to the countryside together, they have prostituted together, and they have shared the spoils together.

With the common experience of dumping the pot to Li Rong before, as well as the unwavering performance during the investigation of Zhejiang officialdom, the friendship between Wang Sheng and Xu Lei rose sharply, and they quickly became close friends. After that, Xu Lei also began to experimentally train the Mandarin Duck Formation in the rebuilt Upgrading Left Battalion, and the relationship between the two of them also became closer in the continuous exchange of experience in arranging each other's Mandarin Duck Formation.

This friendship is very important to Wang Sheng, because Xu Lei's uncle is Tian Xiong's cronies, and it is said that his father also died in battle to cover Tian Xiong, otherwise how could he get out of the defeat of the Zuo Battalion and the death of the deputy general Li Rong so easily, and even reinstate the official.

With this help, he will be able to mix more comfortably in the camp of the Qing army in the future, and Wang Sheng also knows very well that the reason why Xu Lei is like this, in addition to repaying the previous help, is more because Wang Sheng knows more about Chen Wen and Nantang Ying.

As they chatted, the conversation quickly turned to the guy they didn't want to face anymore. Last night, when Tian Xiong was participating in Chen Jin's military meeting, a report came that Tiantai County, the capital of Taizhou, had been captured.

Tiantai Mountain Ming Army Xinchang Bo Yu Guowang, Dalanshan Ming Army General and Chief Officer Chen Wen, the two Ming armies captured Tiantai County in only one day. Immediately, other generals of the Ming army of Tiantai Mountain, including Jin Tang and Dong Keshen, went down one after another, and almost every day in Taizhou, there were reports of attacks on the county seat and the Qing army stationed in Taizhou, and even the capital city was not spared, and the most dense of them were the three counties of Xianju, Sanmen and Ninghai.

Just like the Qing army encircled and suppressed Siming Mountain in order to attack Zhoushan, the Ming army in Tiantai Mountain went down the mountain to attack the Qing army in a big way, just to share the pressure on the Ming army in Zhoushan.

Sima Zhao's heart is well known to passers-by. But whether it is Wang Sheng or Xu Lei, neither of them wants to face Chen Wen and the Nantang camp again. Maybe they didn't know what the ignorant meant by fearlessness before, but after they also tried to imitate the mandarin duck formation of the Nantang camp, they found that this thing was not so easy to play with at all.

Xu Lei was reinstated after encircling and suppressing the remnants of the Ming army in Siming Mountain in June, and two months before that, he organized and trained the Mandarin Duck Formation in the name of making meritorious contributions.

Relying on the support of Tian Xiong and his uncle Xu Xin, the Mandarin Duck Array Killer Team under Xu Lei all copied the Nantang Battalion, and the soldiers in it were also composed of pure veterans; In addition, the Chinese army firearms team also uses bird guns, and the Chinese cavalry team also has firearms like three-eyed guns, which is not a star and a half compared to Chen Wen's weapon configuration in the battle behind the Siming Mountain Palace.

When encircling and suppressing the remnants of the Ming army in Siming Mountain in June, the small army under the command of Xu Lei that had been trained for two months was like a fish in water in the narrow terrain of the Siming Mountain area, eliminating the Ming army of many routes, and he was reinstated by virtue of this merit. After the war, in the internal competition of the standard battalion, it was also easy to defeat the other units of the left battalion that were rebuilt at the same time, which can be said to be out of the limelight.

But even so, to this day, the green battalion that copied the Nantang battalion still can't be compared with the genuine Nantang battalion in terms of overall aura, at least in Xu Lei's opinion, the combat ability of this knockoff is still not even a fraction of the Nantang battalion in the battle behind the palace of Siming Mountain.

In contrast, Wang Sheng's time to train the Mandarin Duck Formation was far more than Xu Lei's. Since the New Year of the fifth year of Yongli, he began to organize and train this army composed of mandarin duck formations, and it is definitely impossible not to eat empty salaries, so Wang Sheng creatively developed the establishment of several general corps with only officers and no non-commissioned officers, which are specially used to appease officers and bribe officials.

In the past half a year, Wang Sheng broke his heart for this small army, studied Qi Jiguang's military book, practiced the formation of the Mandarin Duck Formation, and even did not hesitate to use Xu Lei's relationship to finally get some quite sophisticated blades from the arsenal. Even if he is not as strong as Xu Lei, with the full support of Tian Xiongtian and the local tyrants, at least the Mandarin Duck Array killer team and the firearms team using archers are still trained, and they can be regarded as performing well in the battle of coordinating the encirclement and suppression of the remnants of the Ming army in Siming Mountain.

It's just that even if the training time is far more than Xu Lei's subordinates, in terms of combat ability, it will actually be five or five open, not to mention the distance, and it is possible to be surpassed by it.

Wang Sheng knew that Xu Lei's subordinates were all veterans with many years of experience, and their combat experience was far better than the group of quasi-recruits under him who had only been in the army for one or two years, and Xu Lei was also very clear about this.

However, whether it is Wang Sheng or Xu Lei, they still don't understand to this day how the recruits under Chen Wen who have been in the army for three months at most and only one or two months have been trained to be so brave and strong, which really makes them feel incredible.

After being proud for more than half a year, the terrifying figure advancing in the face of artillery fire resurfaced in the minds of Wang Sheng and Xu Lei with the news of the Taizhou chaos, which made them unwilling to face it at the same time, they had to hope that the Jinhua General Soldier Ma Jinbao and Taizhou General Soldier Ma Xin in Taizhou could eliminate it.

Soon, Wang Sheng and Xu Lei rushed to the point platform. At this moment, the seats that had been placed on the military platform were empty, and after Wang Sheng and Xu Lei said goodbye, they were all in the queue of officers of the Ningbo Green Battalion under the stage.

Now that the Qing army has been assembled, today is to use the head of a senior official of the Ming army who swore to die to lift the morale of the army, which can be regarded as a sacrifice to the flag. In fact, with Wang Sheng's identity and assigned tasks, he was not qualified to participate in such a conference, but the arrest of this high-ranking official of the Ming Dynasty had a great relationship with Wang Sheng, so that he, a small garrison who had surrendered for less than a year, would participate in it.

After the three drums were exhausted, Chen Jin, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, the general of Pingnan, Gushan Ezhen Jinli, Gushan Ezhen Liu Zhiyuan, Meile Zhangjing Wu Ruju, Meile Zhangjing Xu Dagui, Zhejiang Governor Tian Xiong and Dinghai General Zhang Jie and other high-ranking officials of the Qing court who were here walked out of the big tent in turn, and boarded the point platform under the escort of their own soldiers, and sat down respectively.

The high-ranking officials of the Manchu Qing Dynasty talked and laughed a few words, but it was just a gesture from Chen Jin, and the petty officer who was on the stage went to the front of the military platform after receiving the order.

"Bring, Wang Yi, the squire of the puppet army."

Hearing the sound, Wang Yi, the left waiter of the Ming Dynasty and the left deputy governor of the military department of Zhejiang, walked to the wooden platform built for this execution under the escort of a whole team of Qing soldiers.

Wang Yi is still dressed in the same costume on the shore of Siming Lake, and the Qing army did not do too much abuse out of persuasion after he was captured, especially when the news that the left battalion was defeated by Chen Wen came, Wang Yi's value doubled, so that he can still retain this wartime outfit to this day.

Wang Yi here walked calmly towards the end of the day, and between his steps, he was unhurried, but it was just like when he went to Zhoushan to meet His Royal Highness King Lu of the prison country. And the group of Qing soldiers who were responsible for escorting him followed him step by step, and if it weren't for the hands tied behind their backs, these Qing soldiers would be like their escorts.

For this Wang Yi, whether it was Chen Jin, the Manchu governor in Zhejiang, Fujian, or Tian Xiong, who captured him with his own hands, or other high-ranking Manchu officials present, they all seemed powerless.

It has been nearly a year since the Ming army was defeated in the Battle of Siming Lake, and Wang Yi was arrested. Tian Xiong sent him to Hangzhou out of consideration for not offending people, and handed him over to those civil officials to persuade him to surrender. During this period, not only Chen Jin, but even officials including Xiao Qiyuan, the governor of Zhejiang, used the means of coercion and temptation, and attracted some civil and military officials of the Lu Jian Dynasty who had descended to the Qing Dynasty to show up and say the truth, almost exhausting the means that could be used, but it was ineffective.

Wang Yi is not like Feng Jingdi, who was captured at the same time, and scolds like a shrew, but even if he is in prison, he calmly tidies up his clothes and trims his sideburns every day. The Manchu officials who went to persuade him to surrender only asked: "Let Ru Cao see the majesty of this Han official!" Smelling it, they all went away with shame and resentment.

If it was just that, it was not uncommon for Ming Dynasty officials to be captured in this way, and there were not no people who lived in secret. It's just that when Chen Jin saw Wang Yi's masterpiece during the interrogation, he had no interest in persuading him to surrender.

The blood of loyalty and anger in his life is splashed in the crowd!

The Manchu Qing Dynasty, in the final analysis, was just a group of barbarian fornication, and these Han people who surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, even if they became banner people by changing their household registration books, were just a group of traitors. Such unscrupulous words about tearing off the faces of these high-ranking Manchu officials and wishing to die with the Manchus are really impossible for him to use, and it is absolutely impossible to persuade his colleague Wang Jiang and the brave generals to surrender.

Then, in the eyes of Chen Jin and others, Wang Yi can only be used to sacrifice the flag before attacking Zhoushan. Of course, it is always necessary to persuade one last time—a justifiable one.

"Those thieves in Siming Mountain have been swept away by the officials and soldiers, and the thieves in Zhoushan are just a group of local chickens and dogs. The unification of the world in the Qing Dynasty is imminent, Wang Jingluo, the son of heaven in this dynasty is benevolent, if he is willing to return to the imperial court, he will not lose the reward of the official knighthood. ”

Hearing this, the corners of Wang Yi's mouth, which was standing on the wooden platform, crossed a trace of disdain, and said angrily: "Needless to say, success or failure is blunt, all are days, what do you know?!" ”

"I don't know the times!"

Hearing this, Liu Zhiyuan picked up the bow and arrow that had been prepared, bent the bow and arrow, and shot an arrow at Wang Yi.

Liu Zhiyuan is a person with a yellow flag in the Han army, as early as the eighth year of Chongzhen, he sat in the position of Jiala Ezhen, although it is not as good as Li Yongfang, Sun Degong and others, and even slightly inferior to the same Gushan Ezhen Jin Li, but he is also a veteran traitor who entered the flag before entering the customs.

Wang Yi's masterpiece he already knew that such heroes loyal to Huaxia were intolerable to scum like him, because the existence of heroes was to ridicule their servile and humble face in front of the barbarians.

An arrow flew out and hit Wang Yi's shoulder, but Wang Yi was unmoved, and even looked at the point platform dozens of meters away, he was completely motionless!

Although the battle on the shore of Siming Lake was easily won by relying on the defection of traitors, the Tibiao battalion was always pressing the Ming army in the battle, and even Wang Yi was captured by Tian Xiong himself. But within a month, the previous victorious army was completely defeated by Wang Yi's generals leading the remnants of the Dalanshan people, and even his favorite general Li Rong was beheaded, how can he not hate?

At this moment, Tian Xiong had been waiting for a long time, and seeing that Liu Zhiyuan could not shake Wang Yi, he then got up, took the bow and arrow of his own soldiers, and swept by another arrow.

Although Tian Xiong is no longer as personally fighting in the killing field as he was back then, his archery skills have never fallen. This arrow instantly drew a trajectory from the point platform, and a deep wound on Wang Yi's cheek that could be seen was visible.

If you are a bystander, you will shoot two arrows in a row, but I am afraid that you will already fall to the ground. It's just that at this moment, Wang Yi is like a forest, he doesn't feel any pain at all, just staring calmly into the distance, motionless!

Liu Zhiyuan and Tian Xiong's two arrows could not make Wang Yi show the slightest weakness, Jin Li held a bow in his left hand, an arrow in his right hand, looking into the distance, the string was like a full moon, and then an arrow flew out, hitting Wang Yi's threat.

Unlike Tian Xiong, the commander of the green camp who surrendered only when the Qing army went south, Jin Li surrendered to the Manchu Qing as early as the battle of Guangning as the capital of Zhenwu Fort, and Sun Degong was the same group of traitors.

Such a highly qualified traitor naturally can't tolerate any Han family son who dares to resist the Manchu Qing Dynasty, his arrow is powerful, and an arrow also hit Wang Yi's coercion and went straight into the chest. However, at this moment, Wang Yi is still standing on the stage like a mountain, motionless!

The blood had already come out of the wound, staining Wang Yi's clothes red, but here he was looking calmer than ever, as if the injury and arrow had not happened.

"Emperor Gao, that seed has begun to take root and sprout, and the minister has no regrets!"

On the school ground, there was a deathly silence, and all the Qing soldiers watched all this in amazement, watching this high-ranking official of the Ming Dynasty stand here like a mountain, so that it was difficult for them to exhale even a breath.

The swearing-in meeting to boost the morale of the army fell into such a situation, and as the governor, Chen Jin was already annoyed and angry.

"Wang Sheng!"

"The villain is here." As he spoke, Wang Sheng, who was still shocked by others, reflexively ran out of the officer queue of the Ningbo Green Battalion, and did not fall to the ground until he was in front of the military platform, waiting for Chen Jin's next instructions like a dog.

"Kill him!"

A dagger was placed in the tray in the hand of the petty official who was the celebrant, Wang Sheng did not dare to hesitate at all, picked up the dagger and walked to the wooden platform where the execution was carried out.

Wang Sheng walked up to the wooden platform and saw the culprit who killed tens of thousands of Ming troops in Siming Mountain with his own hands, Wang Yi's gaze changed a little, but in that gaze at Wang Sheng, it was just like seeing a dead man.

The previous scene was always affecting Wang Sheng, although he took the dagger, but when he was walking on the road, his hands were still trembling, trembling uncontrollably. It's just that when he saw Wang Yi's gaze, Wang Sheng was still completely enraged.

"Wang Jingluo, the Qing Dynasty has occupied eight or nine out of ten of the world, do you really think that guy surnamed Chen can turn the tables?!"

Pulling out the dagger and throwing the scabbard on the ground, Wang Sheng slashed through Wang Yi's throat, but the blood splattered all over him, staining Wang Sheng's gray-blue green battalion officer's uniform indecently.

The trachea was broken by a sharp weapon, and the soul flew away with the blood spurting out, losing the support of a firm will, and the body could not stand here. It's just that Wang Yi died, but the coercion he left behind still affects everyone present, and even further.

At the same time, on Tiantai Mountain, on the school ground of the temporary old camp of the Ming Army in Dalan Mountain, Chen Wen pulled out the sword given by Wang Yi when he was appointed as a guerrilla general and swore to go on the expedition!

PS: This chapter is finally finished, and the first time I looked at the historical materials, I couldn't write a word for several hours. Wang Yi's death was written by the author a long time ago, but when it came time to write, I still didn't know how to write about the hero's death.

Wang Yi is dead, the old history is beginning to come to an end, and a new history is about to begin. In the fifth year of Yongli, the wheels of Zhejiang's anti-Qing situation began to roll forward on another road......
