[Various ......]

Xinzheng, just north of Xuzhou, was just an ordinary county town in the 18th century, and it did not have the airport in the 21st century that countless Henan people closely associated it with the provincial capital. Of course, the current provincial capital of Henan is not Zhengzhou.

Henan prefect Asiha has been in this small county town for four days.

In four days, he received news of the defeat of the Shaanxi army. Ashar has not forgotten the moment he received the news, and he is now firm in his judgment that he was finished. Even if the offensive on the east and south roads can wipe out the Chen army in one fell swoop, Asiha, as the governor of Henan, must leave the officialdom.

Chen Jiajun's basket could not be blocked by anyone, and his family and Beijing could not withstand the anger of the emperor and the Manchu civil and military.

Because Ruzhou is in Henan, Henan is in the heart of the Qing Dynasty, such a place suddenly appeared such a bandit, whether it is the emperor or the ministers of the court, no one will think that the Chen family army can be pulled up suddenly, especially the news brought back by the remnants of the Shaanxi Green Battalion - the Chen family thief soldiers can wear armor with four or five thousand people. After Wang Tenglong fled to Luoyang City, he took off his crown and flower feather, took off his robe, and imprisoned himself in his residence in white, and handed a fold to Beijing City.

Asha's heart is bitter, such an unfortunate thing happened to him. Chen Jiajun really didn't have any hands and feet to rebel, it was all forced by Chang Rui. Chang Rui is just a small county, even if he is born in the Eight Banners, how can he be connected with the feudal territory of Asiha Province? There are also many dilapidated houses in the Eight Banners. Of course, to this day, even Asiha himself does not suspect that the Chen family has been planning for a long time, he can only be sure that Chang Rui engaged in the Chen family for money rather than getting the conclusive evidence of the Chen family's conspiracy.

So Asiha could only curse the previous officials of Lushan and Ruzhou on the one hand, the Chen family had done such a big disaster, and they didn't hear a little rumor; On the one hand, he helplessly admits that he is unlucky.

What he is most afraid of now is to hear the news of the defeat, the Shaanxi Green Battalion has been defeated, and the news from Luoyang says that the defeated soldiers in the city are not even 2,000 people. Moreover, an official document from Henan Prefecture also said that the southern counties of the province were in chaos, bandits were prosperous, and there were endless cases of rape and plunder.

Asha's headache. He can only pin his hopes on Jingzhou General Yongrui now, hoping that Yongrui will urge the soldiers and horses of Shaanxi and Hubei to attack on both sides, and they can defeat the Chen family thieves and soldiers, and wipe out the chaotic party in one go.

In that case, he may only lose his crown and official position, and he will not have to be sent to the northwest to eat sand by the angry emperor of Long Yan, or to suffer in the icy Ningguta.

Inside the gate of the county government, Wen Ming, the deputy general of the Fubiao Chinese Army, who was dressed in dust, ran to the small study in a hurry, and he also had Asiha's long-term entourage Erhe by his side, who left the small study with fear only a quarter of an hour ago, and was always a middle-aged man who had been sad for a few days, but now his face was red and refreshed.

Because Wen Ming did not deliver the news of defeat this time, but the news of victory. The first part of the Chen Jiajun attacked Yingqiao Town in Xuzhou, but was repelled by the remnants of the Lu battalion of Nanyang Town, which were guarding there. This news will definitely make the governor smile.

In the past few days, Asiha's mood has been heavy, and Erhe's mood has also been heavy. You must know that if Asiha is sent to Xinjiang or Northeast by Qianlong, Erhe will inevitably accompany him. Who made him a banner man, and who made his family in the Sakda clan's leader? Who let him get hooked up with Asiha early, all these years of serving Asiha before and after the saddle, and he has more silver to hold than to put a prefect outside. The people up and down Asiha, no one can run away from him, they are absolutely a loss and a glory.

Erhe led Wen Ming into the small study, and Asiha was anxiously turning around inside, but the anxious uncle frowned first when he saw Wen Ming's dusty appearance.

Erhe gasped and said: "Master, happy event, happy event......"

The disgust on Asha's face that had not disappeared disappeared in an instant, and Wen Ming, who was covered in dust, was no longer dirty in his eyes, but became a treasure, he waved his hand to Erhe not to interject, and said impatiently to Wen Ming: "What happy event?" Where? ”

Wen Ming didn't take a breath yet, and Asiha couldn't help but answer, so he said with a dry throat: "It's Yingqiao Town, it's the remnants of Nanyang Town...... "Two or three hundred people from the Lu battalion fled to Xuzhou, and when the city of Xuzhou was broken, Zong Weifeng took them to Yuzhou again, but fortunately, the Chen family army did not continue to attack Yuzhou. The Lu battalion survived, and there were more than 200 people in the inventory of people and horses, and there were two or three hundred people from Ding Zhuang Township who were collected by Zong Weifeng along the way, and when the four provinces of Qianlong converged and suppressed, Asiha was in Hebei Town and Kaifeng when he was raising people, and he threw it away, and the Lu battalion was assigned by him to go to Xuzhou and used it as cannon fodder to open the road. As a result, Zong Weifeng proved that he was a great fortune general, and Chen Jiajun gave up most of Xuzhou without hesitation.

After Qin Guangyuan, the chief soldier of Hebei Town, led the men and horses of Hebei Town and Kaifeng City to defend and raise standards into Xuzhou City, the Lu battalion, which made them dislike, was kicked out of the city, and Zong Weifeng led the troops to Yingqiao Town, which was closer to Xiangxian.

Hearing Wen Ming mention the Lu camp, Asiha still had a little impression. In his opinion, this unit is a deserter all the way, completely useless. "Lu's camp ......? Can the Lu battalion defeat the Chen family thieves? ”

"Lord Futai, I personally went to Xuzhou, and the seizure was true, not fake at all. The Lu battalion is capable of killing good and risky merits, but the armor and muskets of the Chen family's thieves can't be faked......"

Although the Lu battalion only handed over 26 heads, and they themselves lost more than 100 people, along with the 26 heads, Chen Jiajun's cuirass and muskets were handed over.

The Qing soldiers had been fighting with the Chen family army for so long, and they had long known that the Chen family army's battle armor was mostly intersected with rattan and iron, except for some of the real iron armor. The armor on Chen Jiajun's chest is of the highest quality, and the rest of the place is rattan armor with thin iron sheets or concocted leather. And their muskets, not arquebuses, but more advanced flintlock guns. That thing Assha himself has two shots, and he also followed Qianlong to Chengde to hunt, of course there will be bows and arrows, and shotguns are also indispensable.

Many high-ranking Manchu civil and military officials had already guessed this after hearing that Chen Jiajun's musketeers were not equipped with fire ropes. But this is the first time I have actually seen the real thing.

Wen Ming rushed back to Xinzheng non-stop, accompanied by a set of rattan iron armor and a flintlock pistol. However, he did not notice that the flintlock pistol had been cut off by the knife edge, and there were no bayonets or paper bullets......
