Chapter Ninety-Two: Expelling the Tartars and Restoring China

ps: Tomorrow afternoon, I can push the classified pictures. Ten days of fruition are over. Should I cry or laugh???

The sky was bright. The fire in Changqiao Town was extinguished, and on the left and right banks of the north end of the Long Bridge, which spanned both sides of the Beiru River, a long row of wooden poles was erected, on which hung the gentry of Changqiao Town, who had been pulled out of the crowd by Chen Jiajun. There are seventeen of them.

The people of the east and south entrances converged, afraid that there were thousands of people, and they were all sad to see the Changqiao Town that had been burned to the ground. There are even some people's sons and husbands who were arrested by Chen Jiajun as Xiangyong, which is completely life and death.

The sound of wailing and crying resounded along the Beiru River.

There were more prisoners in Chen Ming's team of 500 people. Among them, there are about 300 people who can be confirmed to be Xiang Yong, and the rest are suspects. And Chen Ming's appetite is so great that he doesn't even leave a suspect for Longbridge Town. For Chen Jiajun on the march, they are two-legged mules and horses, paving roads, pushing carts, and driving with wasted labor, and contributing their own strength to Chen Jiajun's transfer.

As for whether anyone dared to deliberately do evil, the seventeen corpses on the banks of the North Ru River were enough to make them interesting. Moreover, the group of Shaolin monks led by the monk Jingkong, after making a gentleman's agreement with Chen Ming to 'not kill people indiscriminately', also actively "reconciled" the bilateral contradictions from them -- don't look for your own death. Chen Jiajun is not a vegetarian!

The news of the fire and defeat in Changqiao Town reached the county seat of Jiaxian County in the morning, and the four gates of the entire county town were once again confined. The magistrate of Jiaxian County, like a cat or dog that had been stepped on by the tail, squirted angrily, and after calling people to report to the state city immediately, he asked people to gather the young people of the city for a while, and shouted that they were going to see hundreds of people immediately. Whoever dares to push up half of his mouth will be slapped in the face.

The magistrate was a little nervous with fear.

Wang Jun, the governor of Ruzhou, was also stunned by this news. Just like the magistrate of Jiaxian, he also has great expectations for this sortie. As long as he can win one game, as long as he can win one game, the burden on his body will be much, much lighter. And the certainty of this battle seems to be so sufficient. Just two days ago, Jiaxian County was not enough to send the news of the Chen Jiajun's internal strife to the state city, why was it that more than 1,000 people were defeated in a blink of an eye?

Wang Jun easily cheered up, carefully read the report of the magistrate of Jiaxian County, and burned Changqiao Town? Well, then don't say anything.

Fortunately, Chen Jiajun had already turned around and headed south. No matter how much pressure Baofeng and Lushan are on, the state city is at least safe for the time being. Moreover, the governor has ordered the deputy general of Nanyang Town to temporarily take the post of chief soldier, and the latter is already in the process of transferring troops.

Wang Jun soon received an urgent response from Baofeng and Lu Shan, and he looked at the matter from a detached perspective - since he was destined to lose his position, why should he worry? Anyway, Wang Jun didn't think that Chen Jiajun would really launch a fierce attack on the county towns of Baofeng and Lushan at this time, as long as the county town did not fall, no matter how ruthless the local area was looted by Chen Jiajun, it was not much of the responsibility for Wang Jun, a state official with no future.

Chen Ming joined the headquarters of the Chen family army in the town of Liangwa in the north of Lushan, where he met Gao Yanming. The Gao family couldn't hold on, Gao Peng saw that the disaster of the Chen family was getting bigger and bigger, and when the Chen family army killed out of Funiu Mountain this time, he decisively jumped back into the Chen family army sequence. Of course, the second and third of his four sons and the other juniors of the Gao family have disappeared.

The Chen family is completely a big sin to destroy the nine clans, and the point behind the Gao family is no longer able to protect their own safety, and they can't do it alone, so Gao Pengqi, who doesn't want to die and doesn't want the Gao family to be destroyed, can only make the same choice as Chen Hui at the beginning.

It's the Li family. At this moment, it is no longer in Lushan, and it is not in the boundary of Ruzhou.

Old Li Xiucai's sense of smell is very sensitive, when the defeat of Baoning came, he decisively gave up most of the family business, and only took the floating wealth to take advantage of the panic in the county, the whole family quietly slipped out of Lushan County, and then no one could know the exact whereabouts of the Li family. Some said they went to Nanyang, while others said they went to the east.

Chen Ming didn't know the exact news, but the disappearance of the Li family reduced a burden for him.

On the edge of Zhaoping Lake, Chen Ming and Chen Hui converged, and the first thing they did was to hand over a detailed list, which was very similar to the number of all the things he had brought back.

People, livestock, grain, cloth, salt, sugar, herbs, chariots and horses. Don't talk about anything else, just people, 800 slave laborers, more than 100 ruffians, and 500 prisoners, which can at least double the strength of the Chen family's army.

The Chen family has steel, and there is no need to worry about ironclad weapons at all. It only takes time to prepare, and all of them can put on their cuirasses and take their swords and guns. Even the current weapons reserve of the Chen Jiajun can arm these thousand people.

With a force of 2,000 people, this is already powerful news that can shake the Qianlong Emperor in Beijing City. If these 2,000 people were all well-equipped armored soldiers, as well as powerful firearms troops, Chen Ming felt that it would not be a problem for him to sweep the entire western Henan.

"Daddy. What's there to worry about? As long as these slave laborers are dragged back to the mountains for a month or two of serious training, and they eat and drink well, they will be a strong army in the blink of an eye! ”

"The imperial court sent a large army to encircle and suppress?"

"Then let's fight. Are we just afraid that the government will not come to encircle and suppress us? ”

"If the road of anti-thieves comes to an end, the dragon chair in Beijing will be our house to sit on." - Salute to the 'Ice Phoenix'!

"The soldiers and horses in Nanyang Town are still on the way, and we still have time. With gold, silver, grain, and medicinal herbs and cloths, can the mountains still not be able to recruit manpower? As long as these people have preliminary training and are equipped with ironclad sword soldiers, they are not at all comparable to those green battalion soldiers wearing uniforms in Nanyang Town. ”

"Next time we go out of the mountain, we can take Lushan and Baofeng in one fell swoop."

"Daddy. Compared with the imperial court, our biggest advantage now is the strength of the army. We have enough iron materials, and the efficiency of water conservancy and animal power forging hammers is 100 times that of traditional handwork. We can produce armor far beyond the imagination of the imperial court in a short period of time, and with these armors, the Green Battalion soldiers are not our opponents at all. ”

"The Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty have long been unusable. Although the strength of the imperial court is far superior to ours, it is not easy to solve us. ”

"Let's clean up those who have already stood up, such as the Xu family, such as the Xu family, who are loyal to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and make an example of them, their floating wealth can be used as military funds, and the land can be used to reward soldiers. When our number of people expands to 20,000, 30,000, or 50,000, where in the world will we not be able to go? ”

"Step by step, although the child doesn't know where we can go, but this is an opportunity. While the court hasn't seen us yet, let's strike first. My son doesn't want to be trapped in Funiu Mountain when he gets old! ”

"Sons and grandsons are scolded as thieves."

Chen Ming's words were not very persuasive, and he looked at his father with some concern. The current situation is another huge ideological change for Chen Hui. Further, the Chen family really embarked on the road of rebellion; Take a step back, and you will become bandits again. is still a bandit who is remembered by the Henan government.

No matter how strong a bandit is, it is just a bandit. It cannot be compared with the army, especially with what Chen Ming wants to see - the anti-Qing rebel army that raised the banner of 'driving out the Tartars and restoring China'!
