The location of the venue was originally Chen Wen's plan to be in a big mansion where Ma Jinbao once lived most often in Jinhua City, and the former owner of that house died in the Jinhua Massacre, and the house was easily obtained by Ma Jinbao. When Jinhua was just recovered, Wu Dengke and others specially sent people to take care of this house, waiting for Chen Wen to take over. However, Chen Wen was not interested in this, so he had to be empty.

originally intended to be used as a venue to ridicule Ma Jinbao, which can be regarded as "where did you come from". However, who knew that there were too many gentry and common people, so they had to clear an open space as a meeting place.

After passing through the city gate, Chen Wen soon came to the entrance of the venue. At this moment, at the entrance of the venue, many gentry and ordinary people had already taken the number to enter, and many more were still lining up to enter under the guidance of the officers and non-commissioned officers who were responsible for maintaining order.

Seeing a group of cavalry riding horses, the gentry and the common people fled in all directions for fear of avoiding it, but they were not in chaos after being scolded by the Ming army who maintained order. When they noticed that it was Chen Wen who was riding on the horse, these gentry and common people saluted Chen Wen one after another, loudly praising Chen Wen's righteous deeds, and some even fell to the ground and cried about the crimes of Ma Jinbao and his subordinates.

Seeing this, Chen Wen hurriedly dismounted, bowed his hand, and entered the venue through another gate specially opened for the Ming army. And after Chen Wen left, those gentry and ordinary people were either still saluting in the direction of the gate that Chen Wen had just entered, or they simply accepted the salute and continued to line up to enter the venue.

Due to the large number of gentry and common people, the venue was divided into three gates to line up to enter, and a large number of Ming troops dispersed to maintain order, and in addition to the Ming army, there were also officials from the capital city at the gate handing out notes with numbers written on them.

In the long queue to the west, the servants of Master Feng from Hengdian Town, Dongyang County, were lining up. And his master and a group of equally well-dressed gentry stood outside the crowd with a frown, covering their noses with powdered handkerchiefs, as if they would lose ten years of life if they smelled the smell of the mud-legged and military men in front of them.

And unlike others. Master Feng himself was actually reluctant to come. A few months ago, when the Ming army sneaked through Jinhua, there was a scene of bandits attacking the town in Hengdian Town, which is still vivid, although it is reasonable that the military operation of the Ming army was successful, and he also indirectly contributed to it, but it was he who sent people to ask for help from the Qing army, and the Ming army did not retaliate at the moment, but if the commander of the Ming army remembered that there was still this matter, then I am afraid it would not be a matter of recovering the family property. So as soon as Chen Wen came, he recognized this person as the "big cabinet mountain carving on Weihu Mountain", and Master Feng immediately fell to the ground, lest he be seen by the "mountain carving", reminiscent of the "unpleasantness".

However, the Feng family had also been occupied by the guerrillas in Dongyang County who had been killed by the Ming army, and a lot of land and some houses and shops had been occupied, and this time the order from the government was to ask the head of the family to come to discuss, otherwise he could only listen to the letter at home, so he could only rush to the capital city and always want the property back.

Next to Master Feng. A middle-aged Confucian wearing a square scarf and a blue collar looked at the flow of people coldly, and his mouth was full of dissatisfaction.

"This martial artist, he actually asked our gentry to line up with these mountain and village husbands, it is really Sven's tightness."

The words of the middle-aged Confucian immediately attracted everyone's approval, but because there was a Ming army not far away to maintain order, the voices of these gentry were deliberately lowered, even the middle-aged Confucian was no exception.

Master Feng knew very well. Compared with Ma Jinbao and the generals of the Ming and Qing armies who were stationed here in the past, the marshal Chen of the Ming army respected the gentry. has never treated the people harshly, which is already extremely rare. It's just that once you think of this person killing hundreds of captives in Yiwu in one go, anyone should be afraid in their hearts, lest they be remembered by this ruthless guy.

Moreover, although these people are still secretly expressing their disdain for the martial artists, Master Feng knows very well that as long as this Chen Dashuai can return the family property that Ma Jinbao has seized over the years. Don't say that it's queuing, even if you ask these people to sweep the floor a few times or dozens of times, they will definitely come, not to mention that there are still servants queuing up for them.

It's just that at this moment, the middle-aged Confucian student spoke again, and what he said immediately caught the attention of Master Feng.

"However, although Chen Dashuai said that he was wise and close to a demon when he fought. After all, he is still too young to know much about this person's sophistication. ”

Listening to the Confucian student's words, another fat man with a face covered in oil and sweat, and the fat on his body trembled with his movements, and immediately asked, "What do you mean by Brother Ding?" ”

glanced at the outsider, the disgust in his eyes flashed, and a businessman dared to be commensurate with his scholar's brother, which was really unpopular in the world. It's just that at this moment, when the middle-aged Confucian saw that many of them also showed such incomprehensible eyes, a sense of superiority in his heart arose, and he sighed with a great sigh of IQ suppression.

However, halfway through this, someone asked but didn't say it, which was always detrimental to his next words, and he naturally had to explain it clearly to these idiots now.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this time this Chen Dashuai has recruited so many gentry and ordinary people to come, and the momentum of the host and guest has been reversed, looking at the smug attitude he just had on the horse, I am afraid that he didn't expect it, how can he not be called young."

The Confucian student's words immediately woke everyone up, and one of the Confucian students, who was slightly younger than him, immediately said: "What Brother Ding said is very true, as long as we are united, even Chen Dashuai will let us divide them. ”

Seeing that someone understood what he meant, the middle-aged Confucian continued: "Chen Dashuai is willing to return the properties of each family, in the final analysis, it is the flash government of the imperial court, and we always have to send some silver money as a local example, which can be regarded as hard money for the soldiers, after all, if Ma Jinbao's thief comes back, these properties will definitely be taken back." ”

It's just that as soon as these words came out, the people who were still praising immediately fell silent, lest they would lose too much. I thought it would be another full house of applause, but there were few responders, the middle-aged Confucian frowned, and couldn't help but secretly curse in his heart "Lack of erection and conspiracy" and quit.

Seeing that the middle-aged Confucian was too lazy to continue to persuade those "misers who were not pulling out a dime", Master Feng withdrew his gaze, but happened to see one of his servants running over.

"Master, Feng Si is almost at the gate."

"Hmm."

After saying that, Master Feng bowed to everyone and followed the servant to the gate alone, while the others grabbed the middle-aged Confucian one after another. He persuaded him to discuss a plan to unite and deal with the government, and did not go with him.

There are no rules, there is no circle, and the tall officer who led the Ming army to maintain order had declared in advance that only one person could enter a number, and he was not allowed to speak without the permission of Chen Dashuai and Sun Zhifu after entering. In order to prevent yourself from being too conspicuous. Master Feng remembers these things very clearly, and naturally there is no feeling of loss at the moment.

Soon, Master Feng and the servant came to the entrance, and the servant in line hurriedly squeezed back, and easily gave up a place for his master, and his master went to wait for the old man who was being inspected in front of him to finish the inspection.

lined up, and Master Feng couldn't stop looking at the old man in front of him, as if he was a little familiar. It's just that although the clothes on this person's body are new, the fabrics are very ordinary. Since he has the money to make new clothes, Bacheng still has some money in the family after being persecuted by Ma Jinbao, but the family business should not be big in the past.

The old man quickly finished the inspection, whispered a few words to the little official who handed out the note, and was immediately invited in by the little official in awe, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

Before Old Man Feng could remember who the old man was, he had to hurry forward to be inspected under the dissatisfied gaze of the officer guarding the door. The items to be inspected are very simple, they are brought aside by a small official to check whether they are carrying any sharp weapons. Then he registered his identity, surname, and property that needed to be recovered, and took a note with a number. At the direction of the little official, he went to the left side of the venue to find a seat.

The gentry and people outside the venue were still lining up, and after Chen Wen entered the venue, he went straight to the courtyard behind the "rostrum". Unlike Chen Wen, who is accustomed to arriving on time, Sun Yu is accustomed to arriving early in case of an emergency.

Seeing Chen Wen enter the house, Sun Yu, who was making final preparations with the relevant officials, waved everyone away, and only after everyone went out did he speak: "Furen." See what's going on outside? ”

Hearing Sun Yu's question, Chen Wen nodded, and couldn't help but skim a smile. "After today, it is estimated that the reputation of a certain person is only not much better than that of Ma Jinbao, and I will ask Governor Sun to take care of him in the future."

Seeing that Chen Wen still had the heart to joke. Sun Yu said with a smile: "At that time, I am only afraid that you and I will be a raccoon dog in their eyes, and no one will be better than the other." ”

Since the recovery of Jinhua Mansion, Sun Yu still has the same "ice cube face" when he sees others, but when he is alone with Chen Wen and his wife, he can occasionally talk and laugh, and he is no longer as cold as he once was.

The ice is starting to melt, which is a good thing, at least in Chen's opinion. However, this time, Chen Wenwen is not a person of this era, and naturally he doesn't care about anything, but Sun Yu is a native of Jinhua, if he has a bad reputation, the future of him and his family will always be affected by some bad influences, but Sun Yu doesn't care, this trust really makes him feel emotional.

The two chatted for a while, and it was not until the small officials from outside came to report that the gentry and the common people had all entered, and then they led the officials to the wooden "rostrum" in the venue.

At this moment, the venue was already full of people, and it seemed that there were hundreds of people, and the Ming army that maintained order was guarding the perimeter of the rostrum and the perimeter of the venue, which was even more crowded. After Chen Wen and Sun Yu took their seats, the other officials took their seats one after another.

Seeing Sun Yu nodding, Lu Wenlong, the chief secretary of Jinhua County, who was in charge of the ceremony, walked to the edge of the rostrum, and then said loudly: "The aftermath conference of Wang Shiguang's recovery of Jinhua Mansion has officially begun!" ”

The moment that has been waiting for many days finally came, and the gentry and people present clapped their hands to celebrate, and there was thunderous cheer for a while, until a moment later, when Lu Wenlong said "Please capture the general, and Chen Dashuai, the chief military officer of Dalan and Jinhua, speak", it gradually stopped.

The venue was as quiet as ever, Chen Wen stood up, bowed to the gentry and the people, and then said loudly: "His Royal Highness Lai Jianguo Hongfu, the soldiers use their lives, Wang Shi went through a series of bloody battles, and finally recovered the entire territory of Jinhua Mansion and some areas of Chuzhou and Shaoxing at the end of last year. ”

"In last year's series of fierce battles, Wang Shi first won the field battle in the face of the remaining Tartars who were several times his own, and then he went down to Dongyang County with one drum; In the battle of Xiaoshun Town, Wang Shi defeated the standard camp of the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, as well as the green camp of the four prefectures of Jinquyan, beheaded 623, and captured 1,159 alive; In the battle of defending the city and the pursuit of Yiwu County, Wang Shi completely annihilated the standard battalion of the governor of Zhejiang, and beheaded 1,988. ”

The beheading of the Ming army in the previous battles sounded very exciting, but when I heard that the Fubiao battalion, which had annihilated more than 2,000 troops, and the beheading was as high as 1,988, there was silence in the field, only the gentry and people of Yiwu County praised it, which seemed very abrupt.

Kill the prisoners!

I had only heard about it before, but now the bloody military general told it bluntly, which really made the gentry and some of the officials present feel that the cool breeze was swishing behind them, and fear arose.

"Wang Shi was able to achieve such brilliant results with less than one-third of the Tartar troops, of course, it was also indispensable to the great assistance of the local righteous people in Jinhua Mansion, and the donated materials and information delivered gave Wang Shi a great help. There are thousands of Jinhua disciples who joined the army and sacrificed their blood and lives to recover the land of my Bawu. Ben Shuaixi is the chief military officer in charge of guarding the local area, and he hereby expresses his gratitude to the people who helped Wang Shi during the recovery of Jinhua Mansion. After that, Chen Wen bowed.

Seeing that the famous Jianguo Lu Wang Qin's general soldiers saluted to them, even the famous people and talents hurriedly got up and returned the salute, and those ordinary people bowed and bowed, and the venue was not lively for a while, and it was not until Chen Wen finished saluting that it gradually calmed down.

"Because of this, after discussing with the prefect Sun, he was grateful for the righteous deeds of the righteous people of Jinhua, and took into account the tyrannical expropriation of the Tartars in Jinhua Mansion and the perverse behavior of the horse thief Jinbao, so he decided to confiscate the family property of Ma Jinbao and his subordinates, so as to compensate for the losses of Jinhua Yimin in the past few years."

Compensate for the loss, this is what the gentry and the common people attending the meeting want to hear the most, and it was said by Chen Wen at this moment, which made them even more excited. It's just that immediately after Chen Wen's words changed, he directly poured a basin of cold water on these restless hearts.

It's just that Zhongxing Daming has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard. Although our ministry has recovered Jinhua Mansion in one go, other prefectures and counties in Zhejiang are still in the hands of Tartars. ”

"As far as this commander knows, there are still more than 2,500 people in the Huzhou Green Battalion, more than 2,500 people in the Jiaxing Green Battalion, 3,000 people in the Dinghai General Battalion, 2,000 people each in the Ningbo, Taizhou, Shaoxing, and Wenzhou Green Battalions, 3,000 people in the Zhejiang Admiral's Standard Battalion, and nearly 10,000 sailors in various departments, and 4,000 Hangzhou garrison eight banners on the side."

"Not only that, although the Tartars suffered heavy losses last year, with their absolute superiority in manpower, material and financial resources, they are bound to rebuild the Fubiao Battalion, and supplement the shortage of the Supervisory Battalion and the Green Camp of the Four Prefectures of Jinquyan, and will definitely not tolerate the continued existence of Wang Shi in Jinhua."

"And my Jinhua Mansion is not a coast, north of Hangzhou, Shaoxing, south of Chuzhou, east is Taizhou, west is Yanzhou and Quzhou, can be said to be enemies on all sides, Wang Shi only rely on these three dissatisfied battalions in the face of more than 50,000 Tartars It is difficult to hold this place, even if Wang Shi returns those industries, it will be taken away by the Tartars again, especially today when Ma Jinbao is still alive."

"Therefore, whether it is Ben Shuai or the soldiers under Ben Shuai, they still need greater help from the righteous people of Jinhua Mansion!" (To be continued.) )
