The distance between Mobei and Jianghuai is so many miles that even Beijing can't get the news of Feiyangu's victory in the first place.

On the seventh day of the sixth month of the third year of Wuding, the Zheng army conquered Tongzhou, plus the Rugao, Dongtai, and Yancheng counties occupied before, and the Zheng army's troops had pointed directly at the Huai River. However, at this time, the reinforcements of the Qing army have come one after another, and the Qing army in the direction of Huai'an alone has concentrated nearly 40,000 green flag soldiers in Zhili, Shandong, and Henan provinces, and the Yuwan green battalion in the direction of Fengyang and Hezhou also has nearly 30,000 troops, so a huge iron tong is forming. It was precisely in view of this unfavorable situation that Zheng Kezang, who was already determined to fight a war of annihilation in Huai'an, had no choice but to tear down the east wall and make up for the west wall, and hastily transferred the third and fourth divisions of the Longxiang Army, which had just been relieved, to Jiangpu

"Yuchi Prefecture." Seeing that the dust on the official road gradually dissipated, Ma Miao, the deputy commander of the Third Regiment of the First Division of the Shooting Army, who was ordered to lead a sentry horse to stay behind, turned his head to look at the respectful Dongtai County Order beside him. "The Northern Expedition of the Great Army, the food gap is very heavy, if it is done well, the future of you and me will naturally be no problem, but if it is messed up." Ma Miao laughed dryly. "It's also a big harm to you and me."

"Humble and provincial." Although Ma Miao's Dongning official dialect made Tang Zhixian, who lives in northern Anhui, very difficult to hear, Tang Mou, who had a rough idea in his heart, finally figured out what the other party meant, so he reassured vigorously. "Please also rest assured that Master Ma will send people to spread the word to all the townships (note: township chiefs, township covenants, local and other service personnel), and collect summer grain as usual to prepare for the army's defeat."

Ma Miao was not surprised by Tang Zhixian's obedience and knowledge, after all, the other party could take the initiative to surrender, although it was a last resort under the soldiers, but at least it could be seen that the other party was greedy for life and afraid of death

But Ma Miao didn't expect that only three days later, Tang Zhixian came to report to himself with a sad face: "There are many reports in various rural areas, after the military rises, the people fled, and there are many tramplings and stealing in the grain fields.

Ma Miao was furious, and immediately interrupted the words of Tang County's order: "Whether to exempt tax reductions or not, when the favor is from above, the people dare to show themselves, this coercion of the government, with ill intentions, I don't know how to deal with this in the past." ”

Seeing Ma Miao's murderous appearance, Tang Zhixian returned in horror: "According to the practice of the past, the flower households resist owing money and grain, that is, the township is not effective in urging the head to collect it, and it must be better to pass on the case than to chase it." It's just that now the army in front is fighting fiercely, and the rear should be quiet and not moving, so please think twice. ”

Ma Miao didn't listen to persuasion at all, but scolded: "It's better to be quiet and not to move, are you looking forward to the defeat of the army in front due to lack of food?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." Tang Xianling's face turned pale. "Turning his back on his duties and surrendering to the Ming Dynasty is already a person who will be killed by the Qing captives, and he dares to pull the hind legs of the army." As soon as these words came out, Ma Miao's expression really looked a little better, and Tang Xian Ling was slightly relieved. "It's just that most of the countryside is a local tycoon, and what is invited is related to the people's livelihood, lest it be forced to provoke disasters."

Ma Miao's eyes rolled, and he understood that Tang County's order was probably worried that his soldiers were not enough to suppress the place, so he pressed the unhappiness in his heart and asked: "Tangzun, is it the case in the whole county, or is there a single baozhai." ”

"This is the case with the 88 guarantees, 359 villages, and 3,609 villages in this county."

"That's the case for the whole county?" Ma Miao knew the severity of the situation. "In this way, the official immediately wrote to the feudal department to explain the situation, but the whole county is unanimous, and it is strange to think about it, it should be someone in the middle of the series, your county has to find out."

Two days later, in the garrison camp of the Dongdi Temple in Dongtai City, Tang County Linghe the county's head catcher 1510 explained the results of the secret inspection in the past few days, and sure enough, the tax resistance was indeed controlled by someone, and several townships openly publicized the chaos of the war between Zheng and Qing, and at this time they should guard their families and protect their hometowns, and should not participate in the period.

"The most powerful shouting is the Liu family of the Seventeenth Guarantee, the eldest son of the Liu family is said to be an official in Shanxi, and the second son is a person of the Qing court, who is already very domineering," the head catcher recounted. "Now, in the name of tax resistance, he has gathered five or six hundred strong men from four towns and eight neighbors to defend himself, and his mind is not so simple."

"Good." Ma Miao took off a bronze medal from her body and handed it to the head catcher. "You take this fourth-class Guoyi Jiazhang first, and when this matter is understood, the official report will be reported, and then you will be given an official award document." The head catcher was a little inexplicable, but Ma Miao said it solemnly, and he had to smile and hold it in the palm of his hand like a treasure. "Master Tang," Ma Miao turned his head to look at Tang Zhixian at this time. "The pre-military approval has come, and the summer grain can be collected at half of what the people have shown, but," Ma Miao's face was a little hideous. "The meaning of the domain is to punish the evil first, and then to deter the ugly, and then to grace."

Ma Miao's words meant bloody rain, and Tang County, who knew this, trembled and expressed his support, and at the same time assigned the head catcher and a number of catchers to be the vanguard of the garrison, and promised to collect a part of the military rations from the big families in the city for the purpose of sending troops.

Waiting for Tang Wei's resigned county order and head catcher to retreat, Ma Miao, who was still fierce just now, showed a playful smile on his face: "Staff Officer Lu, what do you think of this matter?" ”

The regimental staff officer named by Ma Miao smiled faintly: "This matter is quite strange, the lord said that there were people in tandem, and it took two days to find out that there were indeed people in tandem, and before the adults opened their mouths to send food for the troops, Tang County Ling took the initiative to raise a part from the big households, obviously, some people think that we are in the way of staying in the city." ”

Ma Miao continued to ask quietly, "Then how much do you think this Tang is involved?" ”

"Tang Zhixian is afraid that he is just a marionette, besides, he has already surrendered to us, even if the Qing court allows him anything, he will not fully believe it." Staff Officer Lu analyzed. "Presumably, someone in the county coerced him or persuaded him, so that he would have the mind of taking us out of the city and then closing the city to defend himself, and watching the success or failure of the king."

"There is some truth," Ma Miao nodded at this time. "Then are we going to follow his thoughts?"

"Since the Liu clan has a son who is loyal to the Qing Dynasty and the fact that he has gathered a crowd, he is originally the target of this domain, and he should use it to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys." The road staff officer proposed his own construction. "It's just that there is only one outpost in the city, and there is a team of soldiers in it, how to use the soldiers so as not to take care of one or the other, and it is necessary for adults to decide"

A day later, in a room in the city, a soft voice rang out: "Zheng Jun is out of the city?" Do you see how many soldiers have gone out? Did the cannon take away? ”

"Master, the little one can see clearly, this Zheng army's soldiers and horses are indeed out of the city," another slightly hurried voice responded, "There are about a hundred people, of which there are about thirty with birds, the rest are holding knives, shields are placed on the carts, by the way, the cannons are also taken away." ”

"A hundred?" Since he had already learned about the situation of Zheng Jun's garrison in Dongtai in advance, the feminine voice laughed with satisfaction. "Zheng Jun has only one hundred and eighty soldiers and horses left, of which more than 50 are some kind of soldiers and soldiers, and only one hundred and ten people can fight, and now they are out of the city together, it seems that our plan has been completed."

"Don't get complacent too soon," the third voice sounded. "Our people haven't entered the city yet."

"It's not easy to get into town." Another voice rang out. "The soap who guards the city gate is our people, as long as we let people in tonight, this Dongtai City will be ours." The voice said this, and its tone suddenly became indignant. "Tang Hepeng, this bastard guy, don't look at the wind, now that the war between the two sides is undecided, the Qing Dynasty still has repeated opportunities, so he surrendered in such a hurry, didn't he put me and other people in the city on the fire to roast."

"Don't speak ill of someone Tang, after all, the Zheng family was powerful at that time." A feminine voice persuaded. "Speaking of which, Tang Zhixian is still very discerning, and now he doesn't follow our wishes, so let's wait for tonight's incident, let's take care of this old man, don't wronged him."

The third voice laughed knowingly: "Exactly, in case the Zheng family is powerful, we still have to rely on this old parent to explain it for us, if the Qing court has the upper hand, we must give this culprit completely to relieve the danger of the people of Dongtai." ”

There was a chuckle in the room, and the fourth voice added: "There are still things that should be taken care of, but it is a blessing to be able to save the family and most of the property. ”

The feminine voice just wanted to say something, there was a knocking sound at the door, several people were stunned, and the second voice hurriedly went over to open the door to inquire, and soon, the person turned around with a stunned face: "Master, several masters, I just received a post from the horse commander, saying that it is to thank the master for his generosity in providing food for the counterinsurgency, and invite the master to the land temple for a banquet." ”

"To a feast?" A third voice wondered. "Could it be that this person has noticed something, it shouldn't be the Hongmen Banquet."

"I have to go to the Hongmen Banquet too," a feminine voice rang out. "But you don't have to panic, even if there is no good banquet, it is nothing more than that this Lord Ma is ready to knock on another bamboo pole, what if he is allowed, when the sun rises tomorrow, it is ours or ours, no one can take it away."

"That's right." A fourth voice echoed. "But it is said that this person is King Xia's favorite general, pay attention when the fight starts, it is better not to hurt or not to hurt."

"It's easy, too." A feminine voice picked up. "Pour a bottle of wine first, then give him two bitches, and keep him lying high until dawn"
