Grandma went down to the field and was buried, her bones were too tired, so she will be more today and return to normal tomorrow. (According to local custom, the day of death is counted as one day, so today is the third day to be buried in the ground)

Pengzhou Thousand Households is located at the foot of Sangpu Mountain in Chaoyang County, so the beach is full of Peng grass to get the name, the Ming Dynasty Hongwu two years to build a thousand households here to garrison the city, Jiajing period quasi-people into the city to live. Hao Shangjiu had garrisoned troops here when he occupied Chaozhou, and later Hao Shangjiu was defeated and Pengzhou was occupied by the Qing army. Because Wu Liuqi has been forbidden to the sea in Chaozhou for the past two years, and Pengzhou is an important place to choke the sea, he has appointed a foreign commissioner here, and led more than 400 battalions of soldiers to be responsible for the forbidden sea affairs.

Because of the ban on the sea, the fishermen who used to live by the sea were ordered to move inward, and the people who had lost their source of livelihood could only go to the vicinity of Pengzhou to beg for a living, mainly to cut wood on Sangpu Mountain, and then sell it to those wood dealers at a low price, and the daily allowance was very limited. The small population of the family can barely hold on, and the more people can't hold on, and there is no food and clothing for three meals. Some fishermen couldn't stand the hunger of their wives and children, so they secretly went out to sea to fish, but they were caught by the Qing soldiers and became weathered human heads hanging on the boundary monuments of the forbidden sea.

After the Taiping army drove Wu Liuqi all the way back to the capital of Chaozhou from Huizhou, they cut off the communication between the capital city of Chaozhou and other places. The Qing army in Pengzhou had been unable to get in touch with the county seat four days ago, let alone with Fucheng. Su Liangzhong, the head of Qian, is in his forties, his body is so fat, his face is fat, and he is so tired that he pants when he runs a few steps, which looks like a military attache with soldiers. But a few years ago, people were not like this, and Su Liangzhong was strong at that time. As soon as the clothes took off the horizontal flesh of the body, the big knife was also a tiger, and the battle was screaming. Not anymore. The two years in Pengzhou were too comfortable, and as a result, Su Liangzhong was abolished.

Su Liangzhong couldn't figure out what the situation was now, and he didn't dare to send people to contact the county seat, because the three groups of people he sent in a row were all intercepted and killed by the cavalry of the Taiping Army in the middle of the road, and no one below dared to send them to death. I hope that the chief soldier will kill the Taiping Kou as soon as possible, and I also hope that the Taiping Kou will not come to find his trouble in Pengzhou.

With such a situation, Su Liangzhong naturally didn't have much of the heart to do anything forbidden to the sea. The battalion soldiers did not dare to go out to patrol again, which gave the nearby people a chance to sneak out of the sea to fish, but it also caused the Taiping army to touch Pengzhou, and the Qing soldiers inside did not know at all.

The Taiping army that touched Pengzhou was the Zhao Ziqiang Department of the Thousand Households of the South China Sea. He was originally the president of the green camp. After surrendering, he was entrusted with the post of a thousand households, and still led his troops to garrison the South China Sea. When the main force of the Taiping army was crusading eastward, the reorganized troops, including the Nanhai soldiers, were ordered to accompany the army to prevent them from playing tricks in the rear. The combat effectiveness of these green battalions was not strong, so Zhou Shixiang's order to them was to attack the weak Qing army strongholds in various places, as well as to sweep away those who had formed a village to defend themselves.

Finding that the Qing army in Pengzhou did not notice their arrival at all, Zhao Ziqiang and the Taiping army adapted from the former battalion soldiers under his command were all red-eyed and ready to fight for a big shot. Compared with the military discipline that the main force of the Taiping Army was restrained when carrying out the rationing. The discipline of these Green Battalion soldiers who were adapted from the whole team was too corrupt, and they were two points worse than the Qing army. But when I think about it, these people are Qing soldiers. and did not accept the reorganization of the Taiping Army, and he brought them to Chaozhou to serve as cannon fodder, and by the way to solve the problem of manpower shortage, so Zhou Shi turned a blind eye to these green battalion reorganizations, as long as they could complete the task.

Zhao Ziqiang didn't want to come to Chaozhou, he didn't have any loyalty to Zhou Shixiang, he didn't want the Taiping Army to hang himself on the tree at all, but the situation was stronger than people, the Taiping Army was weak compared to the Manchu army, but compared to him Zhao Ziqiang, it was so strong that he panicked. The county officials are not as good as the current management, and they feel that they are not capable of resisting the Taiping army, so Zhao Ziqiang can only lead his troops to Chaozhou. Fortunately, Wu Liuqi in Chaozhou listened to the majesty on weekdays, but the Taiping army also shrank its eggs when it came, and Zhou Shi besieged the Chaozhou Mansion and did not attack, so as to avoid becoming cannon fodder, but got the order to loot in various places. This order is very good, Zhao Ziqiang did not dare to fight with Wu Liuqi's elite soldiers, but he was very confident in dealing with those small Qing troops and regiments. These days, he has broken four villages, not only paid a large amount of money and grain to the Taiping Army, but also his own pockets are bulging, and his subordinates have also made a windfall, so there is a heart of dedication to Zhou Dashuai.

It's a fat sheep again!

Zhao Ziqiang happily looked at the defenseless Pengzhou Institute, issued an attack order, and his soldiers rushed towards the Pengzhou Institute with a shout, not like an army at all, but like a group of bandits who had been holding back on the mountain for a long time. The sudden shouting of killing in the sky above the calm Pengzhou made the Qing army, who did not expect an enemy attack at all, stunned, and after hearing the sound of gongs and drums beating like a curse on the sentry, all the people suddenly rushed around like a nest.

The Qing soldiers who reacted in time rushed to those defense points, ready to block the Taiping Kou who were rushing in, but most of them were busy fleeing, and the Taiping troops rushing up in the black pressure were too scary, they couldn't figure out how many people came and where they dared to resist.

Su Liangzhong, who was pushing pai gow with a group of subordinates, was just right, and he was holding a good card of Tianjiu in hand, haha laughed, and was about to reach out to pull the scattered silver in front of him. Before the words fell, I saw that the door of the house was pushed open with a "bang", and the subordinate rushed in with a panicked face: "My lord, the Taiping army has killed me!" ”

Su Liangzhong was stunned, and only reacted after more than ten seconds, but instead of immediately putting on his armor to face the enemy, he quickly pushed open the window with his hands and feet and jumped out, and then ran towards the river without looking back. When jumping out of the window, it happened to be seen by two of his subordinates, the two of them had already carried a knife in their hands, ready to come to protect Mr. Qian, but they didn't want to run away in embarrassment, the two looked at each other, and without saying a word, they also followed Mr. Qian to the beach, and looked back while running, lest they be seen by others.

Su Liangzhong is fat, but at the critical time to save his life, he runs up quite fast, shuttles in the sandy beach overgrown with fluffy grass, finds the most suitable place and squats down like a rabbit, and does not want to bury his buttocks, the fluffy grass on both sides shook, so frightened that his eyes were drumming, and his legs trembled, only to say that the Taiping Army found himself, but when he was crying out for his life, he saw a head popping up on both sides, and the forehead was smooth and slippery, not who his own soldiers were.

"Don't panic, the little ones are here to protect the adults!"

One of the soldiers showed his loyalty to Su Liangzhong with a sneer, and the other couldn't help but echo it, and his head nodded as if he was not dizzy. Looking at the posture of these two people, Su Liangzhong's heart is as bright as something, but this will be a dangerous head, the Taiping army is killing people in the station, since the two have caught up with them, they will keep them, and there is really something to take care of. At the moment, I was also embarrassed, and I couldn't help praising the two for their loyalty, and after repelling the Taiping army, I will definitely reward you well. Hearing this, the two pro-soldiers grabbed their eyes and eyebrows, and they were very happy, and they all secretly boasted about themselves, but they were quick in their eyes and hands, and their heads were flexible, which was much more cost-effective to run away with Mr. Qian

The Taiping army attacked suddenly, and the Qing army was confused and unprepared, so it was naturally impossible to organize an effective defensive line. Those stone walls built hundreds of years ago have been washed by a hundred years of wind and rain, and have already collapsed in a few places, and no one in the Ming army or the Qing army took it seriously, and they were not willing to find something to spend manpower and material resources to repair it, so the defense line of Pengzhou was as if it did not exist, and the Taiping army who rushed in did not even realize that these stone walls set up in front of them were actually the defense line of the defenders, and only a few gaps were the avenues leading to the station, and they rushed behind the stone wall in the shortest possible time. Rushing towards the center of Pengzhou.
