Wang Jiang was captured, and with the news that Wang Jiang was captured and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, another news came that made Chen Wen dumbfounded, that is, it was Wang Yi who betrayed Wang Yi and Feng Jingdi that year that captured Wang Jiang, and even killed Wang Yi with his own hands, relying on this merit to become Wang Sheng, who was garrisoned by the Ningbo Green Camp.

The troops sent by Wu Dengke to guard Wang Jiang and the Zhejiang Governor's Guard were all wiped out, and the commander of the escort force, Niu Ping'an, the commander of the Tiantai Mountain Garrison, and Wang Xiuquan, the captain of the Zhejiang Governor's Guard, were martyred; The remnants of the rear camp of the Ming army in Dalanshan were also defeated after the death of the deputy general Ye Shirong, and even Hu Er, a small official who followed Wang Jiang, was not spared.

This was the first fiasco suffered by the Dalanshan Ming army led by Wang Jiang and Chen Wen after the Battle of Siming Lake, and this fiasco directly led to Wang Jiang's capture.

When Chen Wen first heard the news, he thought it was the handwriting of Taizhou General Soldier Ma Xin, after all, this person has two brushes in his memory in terms of strategy and tactics. But when he learned the truth of the matter from the mouth of the officer who reported the news, the whole person was stunned and could not imagine his ears at all.

Wang Sheng, the "beggar gang elder" when he first arrived in Siming Mountain, with the beggar soldiers under this waste, he may also completely annihilate the escort troops, defeat the rear battalion, and at the same time behead the deputy general Ye Shirong and the garrison Niu Ping'an? It's simply impossible! But when he thoroughly inquired about the whole incident, he realized that the previous shock was a complete waste of energy, because the news behind made him even more incredulous.

In the middle of September of the fifth year of Yongli, the old camp set off from the temporary camp on Tiantai Mountain, and Wang Jiang took the initiative to stay behind to persuade Yu Guowang, Ye Shirong and Jin Tang to stay behind in the old camp's subordinates, including Yu Guowang who quickly completed the demobilization work and caught up with the left-behind troops led by Wu Dengke and Li Ruixin, which Chen Wen knew very well.

What he didn't know was that after Wang Jiang succeeded in persuading Yu Guowang, he rushed to Jintang's camp because Jintang was dead. His subordinates are likely to scatter in the infighting, so he plans to take this ownerless rebel army in his hands first, and then persuade Ye Shirong.

However, when Wang Jiang arrived there, he found that Jintang's old camp was empty, and all that was left was a mess and some headless corpses.

It's infighting. Or is it a foreign enemy?

It's just that before this problem could be solved, Wang Jiang and his party were blocked in the old camp of Jintang by the Ningbo Green Camp led by Wang Sheng. The old camp in Gimyu is located in a small col, surrounded by steep hills, with only two southward exits, and the location is very secluded. However, some of Jintang's army were captured by the Ningbo Green Camp that went south, and it was useless to hide it.

Wang Jiang and his entourage were blocked in the mountain col, and several times they failed to break through, so they had to send people to climb with ropes and escape to the rear camp for help. But after the reinforcements from the rear battalion arrived. It was quickly defeated by the Qing army, and when Ye Shirong's head was hung on the flagpole in front of the battle, there was no room for everything to turn around.

The Qing army invaded the mountain pass, and it took some effort to eliminate the escort force and the governor's guard, and when the Qing army finally killed Hu Er, the small official who was guarding Wang Jiang, Wang Jiang was no longer able to do anything, and soon surrendered to the Qing army after being captured. The reason why the Qing army was able to completely annihilate the escort troops was in addition to the absolute superiority in troops. What's more, Wang Sheng's subordinates, like the escort troops, used Chen Wen's wartime mandarin duck array behind the Siming Mountain Palace and the formation carved out of a mold!

The Mandarin Duck Formation, which belonged to two completely different armies, fought hard in the old camp of Jintang. Relying on the superiority in numbers and the high rewards, the Qing army finally eliminated this small army after paying more casualties.

Wang Jiang was captured and the escort troops were wiped out, and this matter came from Quzhou the day after Chen Wen got the news, and it was probably the handiwork of Chen Jin and Li Zhifang, who retreated to Quzhou.

About Wang Jiang, no one in Jinhua has ever seen it at all. It is only known that he was the governor of Zhejiang appointed by Lu Jianguo, Chen Wen's supervisor, and Wang Yi's deputy when he was alive.

Wang Jiang's capture did not have a great impact on the territory of Jinhua Mansion, because the reason why Jinhua was still under the control of the Ming army was, in their opinion, entirely the result of Chen Wen, a military general, using troops like divine help. Even if it has to be tied to logistics and stuff like that. Sun Yu, the prefect of Jinhua who was also born in Jinhua and showed a certain ability in the post-disaster reconstruction, has little to do with Wang Jiang, a foreigner he has never met.

But the same thing caused an uproar in the officialdom of Jinhua Mansion, which is dominated by the old camp of Dalanshan. The reason for this is not complicated when you think about it.

Since its establishment, the Dalanshan Ming Army has always maintained a dual system. Before the Battle of Siming Lake, the Ming Army of Dalanshan was mainly responsible for military affairs and litigation with Wang Yi, the left servant and left deputy governor of the military affairs department of Jinglu Zhizhejiang, while Wang Jiang, the right deputy governor and head of the household department, was in charge of logistics.

During this period, Wang Yi's rigorous management of the army and Wang Jiang's outstanding ability in administration made the Dalanshan Ming Army enter a state of sustainable development, thus becoming the most powerful of the righteous army in eastern Zhejiang.

After the Battle of Siming Lake, Wang Yi was captured, and Chen Wen relied on his previous ability to plan and protect the retreat of the people, as well as his performance in the Battle of Siming Mountain and the pursuit of Beizhang Town, coupled with the fact that most of the civilian and military generals in the Ming Army of Dalanshan were older than him, making him the number two person in the Ming Army of Dalanshan, and was responsible for military affairs as the general of the general Dalanshan, while the prison and logistics were in charge of the new governor of Zhejiang, Wang Jiang.

The stable power structure enabled the remnants of the Dalanshan Ming Army to survive the most difficult period under the condition of losing its base area and greatly losing its strength. And with the support of Wang Jiang and Sun Yu, who came with him, Chen Wen first cooperated with Yu Guowang to capture Tiantai County, and then sneaked through Jinhua to recover Dongyang and Yiwu counties, and after smashing the encirclement and suppression of the Qing army in Zhejiang, he recovered the entire Jinhua Prefecture and Jinyun County, the capital of the state, and the troops pointed directly at Quzhou, the residence of the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian!

But now, Wang Jiang has been captured and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, so who will inherit Wang Jiang's position, even if it is only as Chen Wen's deputy......

………………

In a quiet courtyard in the east of Jinhua Fucheng, the previous owner of this courtyard was a small officer in the standard battalion of Jinhua Town of the Qing army. However, at that time, this courtyard was far from being quiet, but on days when there was no need to enter the camp, the owner here either drank with his colleagues and went crazy, or drank with his own soldiers. All in all, drinking is not the goal, the purpose is to completely drown the silence of this place in unbridled laughter.

It's just now. The officer had been killed by the Ming army on the battlefield not long ago, and had lost the source of the noise, and the courtyard had become quiet again, at least on the surface.

In a study room where the courtyard is located, because there are female dependents who have not left the cabinet, Yan Zhiheng's family, who has just been appointed as the magistrate of Dongyang, temporarily lives here. I only waited for the year to go to Dongyang County to take up my post. At this time, there was no family member who talked to him in the study, but they were all colleagues who followed Wang Yi and Wang Jiang in Dalanshan in the early years.

"It's only been a long time, Governor Wang was also captured by the Tartars, and he was the traitor who betrayed Wang Jingliu and the Wang Shi of Siming Mountain last time, I really didn't expect it."

"Hey."

Yan Zhiheng knew very well that like him, some of these colleagues around him followed Wang Yi before the battle of Ningbo ****** over the wall, and some of them participated in it after Wang Yi broke Shangyu Er. There are even later. However, without exception, all of them came from the two prefectures of Ningbo and Shaoxing, and their existence also formed this anti-Qing organization with Ningshao people as the main body.

But now, first Wang Yi was captured and died, and then Wang Jiang was captured and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and the highest official positions in the civil and military classes of the Ming Army in Dalanshan have become Chen Wen, the northern Yankee, and Sun Yu from Jinhua.

This anti-Qing clique, which used to be dominated by Ning Shao people, not only did all the top commanders be replaced by foreigners, but even with the strong rise of the Nantang Battalion established by Chen Wen and the strategy of advancing into Jinhua, the proportion of officers and non-commissioned officers from Jinhua Mansion was also increasing. Moreover, the old camp has recently absorbed a lot of local people, which makes these Ningshao people feel an unprecedented sense of crisis.

Alas, the sigh is not over. But at this moment, a young civil official showed a sneer on his face, only to hear him say coldly: "Hmph, God knows if there are any martial arts hands and feet in here." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and they saw Yan Zhiheng hurriedly walk to the door. After pushing it away, he poked his head out and looked at it, before he turned back to the young civil official and said, "Master Lu, you can't speculate without evidence, you must know that the disaster comes from the mouth." ”

Yan Zhiheng's persuasion did not convince the young master, but he continued to say to everyone: "There is indeed no evidence. But if you think about it carefully, who did Wang Jinglue's plan to organize a large army to fight a decisive battle with the Tartars? His Royal Highness ordered the guards to enter the guard, and who led the army to attack Jinhua instead of respecting the order? Whose cronies was the guard sent to guard the king's governor? And when Na Wufu went up the mountain, he also came with the traitor, and the two said that there was a conflict, who knows if it was true. This pile is ...... one by one"

"Enough! Master Lu, I'm not here today to talk about this, if you don't have tangible evidence, it's better to say less about it. Everyone here is a righteous man and a gentleman, so naturally he won't say it, but if he lets others know, then you haven't seen the methods of martial arts, so don't hurt everyone. ”

Before Yan Zhiheng could speak, another slightly older civil official stood up and scolded him, interrupting Master Lu's remarks, and even the others present echoed him. After the Battle of Siming Lake, Wang Yi ordered Chen Wen to lead the people to the south for refuge.

Seeing that everyone denied his arguments, Master Lu blushed when he got up, got up and said to these colleagues: "The Tao is not the same, since the monarchs are afraid of that martial artist, there is nothing to say in the future, but when the time comes, don't say that I, Lu Wenlong, have not reminded the rank before." ”

After that, Master Lu flicked his sleeves and pushed the door and left, and there were still people in the house who wanted to keep them, but they were also stopped by Yan Zhiheng and the slightly older civil official.

"If the king is not secret, he will lose his country, and if the minister is not secret, he will lose his body, Master Lu is still too young, and I hope that the rank will forgive me, and don't let others know, so as not to harm others and yourself."

"What Brother Yan said is very true, we should keep our mouths shut."

When he said this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had been relieved of some burden. It's just that Master Lu's words completely disrupted the atmosphere of the discussion. Seeing this, Yan Zhiheng had no choice but to cough and bring the topic back to the original point.

"Wang Jingluo was martyred, and Governor Wang was also captured by the Tartars, so Chen Dashuai was naturally in charge of military affairs, but no one was in charge of the lawsuit, money and food. The ability of Sun Zhifu is indeed obvious to all, but his qualifications are too shallow, and he may not be able to convince the public, and if he doesn't get it right, he will become a vassal of the martial arts. ”

"Therefore, we still need to nominate a civil official who can serve the public to take charge of this matter as soon as possible, and of course, we must also be able to follow the rules and regulations, and not interfere in military affairs like Governor Wang, so as to prevent the internal turmoil of the Wang Division. This person needs to be able to stabilize the rear of the army, supply money and food, and live in harmony with Chen Dashuai while keeping an eye on this royal division for the imperial court. Ladies and gentlemen, is there a suitable candidate? (To be continued.) )
