After another rainstorm, Chongming Island was wet everywhere.

In front of them, the weather was clear and the sea had just recovered from the rags, and the soldiers lined up and walked up to the cabin of the big ship, and Zhang Mingzhen and Wang Zhiren came to see them off. With the ships captured by Chen Huwei in the Yangtze River waterway, Zhai Zhe was relieved to take these big ships away.

Zhai Zhe looked relaxed and instructed the two: "Chongming Island will be handed over to you, with Zhao Yucheng to inquire about the news, and so many gentry from Songjiang Mansion to contact the righteous people on the shore, I believe you will definitely make Li Chengdong regret taking refuge in Qingyu!" ”

"I will live up to the trust of the Yue Guogong!"

"Just harass the villages along the coast and along the Huangpu River, and you will never be allowed to invade the interior of Songjiang Prefecture without my orders."

Zhang Mingzhen arched his hand and replied, "Obey!" ”

This command was addressed to him.

Zuo Ruo led 9,000 soldiers to board the ship and leave, and more than 6,000 young men from Songjiang Mansion went to Shaoxing together, and these new soldiers would enter the Xiaoshan camp for training. For Zhai Zhe, the advantage of collecting these righteous soldiers is that they do not have too high requirements for military salaries, and they can only fill their stomachs with three meals a day, and they want to kill back to Songjiang Mansion with all their strength.

Zhai Zhe didn't want to go back so soon, and he received a letter from Liu Suifeng the day before yesterday, which made him change his mind.

He secretly counted the days, and when he got this letter, Huang Daozhou should have already entered Quzhou Mansion!

After the rainstorm cleared, the sea was very peaceful, and the warship traveled for three days and went ashore at Xiaoshan at the mouth of the Qiantang River.

This place is much larger than when Zhai Zhe left, Zuo Ruo brought out 20,000 of the 30,000 strong men from Songjiang Mansion camped in Xiaoshan, and Zheng Zunqian and Sun Quanjing also returned to Xiaoshan after guarding the city of Hangzhou for seven days.

Xiao Zhiyan and Zong Mao led the generals to greet them, Zhai Zhe was very interested, and told the generals in the tent about Zuo Ruo's raid on Songjiang Mansion, which made Zheng Zunqian and Sun Quanjing's eyes shine, and they couldn't wait to experience the battlefield in person.

Zhai Zhe continued to cheer everyone up.

"There are 28,000 recruits in the camp in Xiaoshan, as long as they follow the training schedule set by General Zuo and General Feng, these people will be able to go to the battlefield in a year, and the Qing prisoners dare not recruit new soldiers in Jiangnan, as long as we can hold out for a few years, why worry about the Qing prisoners?"

"Exactly!"

The tent echoed.

The generals reported on military affairs, and after listening for about half an hour, they finished their reports, and the generals retreated, leaving Zong Mao alone.

Zhai Zhe beckoned him to lead him to the side tent, and Fang Jin guarded outside.

Zong Mao first saluted respectfully, his expression was not showing, and said, "My lord, there were originally 50,000 soldiers and horses in Ningshao Military Town. Since the beginning of the army on the 10th of last month, Ning Shaojun Town has increased its troops by 30,000, and Lord Chen has raised 20,000 strong men to defend the city in Hangzhou. Although the silver collected from Xie Sanbin and the surrendered gentry in Hangzhou and the looted back from Suzhou Mansion by Che Feng, the Shang Alliance and Haimao have lost ninety percent, and they have recently continued to purchase crude iron to make birds' guns, and according to the current expenditure, it can only be supported until the beginning of next year. ”

"Hmm!" Zhai Zhe frowned.

"Now there are hundreds of thousands of people in Hangzhou City, half of the rations are expected to come from Ningshao, and only Shaoxing Mansion is the place where grain is produced, and most of the paddy fields in Shaoxing belong to the squire, and the income from the field is really limited." A cold light flashed in Zong Mao's eyes, and he said: "Most of these people hide their fields, and the granaries at home are piled up, and they don't bear to hand over the field tax, which is really intolerable. ”

"Hmm!" Zhai Zhe fell into deep thought.

Zong Mao's voice was fierce and he persuaded: "My lord, the official gentry must pay for food!" Otherwise, no one can be in this family. The silver in the inventory costs one tael less than one tael, and only the fields produce every year, and the cycle is endless. ”

"I know!" Zhai Zhe nodded first, and then quickly shook his head, "At the moment, we can't implement the official gentry to pay food, otherwise we will immediately become alone." "If you want to do this, half of the gentry in Jiangnan are afraid that they would rather shave, and the Longwu Dynasty will not dare to accept themselves.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Zong Mao's eyes.

Zhai Zhe pondered carefully for a moment and said, "The silver can still be slowed down, and food is the top priority." Now that the summer grain is being harvested, immediately let the soldiers block the 6 water crossings everywhere, and not a single grain of rice can come out of Ningshao, and the other ......"

Zhai Zhe gently tapped the table with the knuckle of his right index finger, and made a slight "Dede" sound, "In addition, I will have a fold, this year's field endowment will be changed to directly collect rice, and no longer collect money, you send people to the counties of Ningshao and Shao to supervise the collection, and the existing ones who are tired of playing cats will be killed as an example." ”

"Yes!"

It's all about forcing people to go, and even this move has cut off many people's financial routes.

Zhai Zhe wanted to wait for himself to be fully prepared, and then he would get better and attack those people, but the situation did not give him that opportunity.

After returning to Xiaoshan to rest for three days, Hangzhou Fengqin and Chen Zilong both sent letters to inform them in detail about the war in defending the city.

Zhang Huangyan was left behind by Zhai Zhe. Ji Hong also returned to Xiaoshan, Hangzhou City has been stable for a month, Chen Zilong has managed the city in an orderly manner, and he can finally get out of there.

On the black night, Fang Jinin agreed to lead the two men in black into the barracks.

It was very hot, and the two men were tightly covered.

Fang Jin didn't dare to ask a word, he recognized the person walking in front, because he only had one arm. Since Ji Hong said those words to him in Ningbo Mansion four years ago, Fang Jin has always been afraid to see this person, although he has not done anything unfortunate.

Judging from the face of the person walking behind, he was a little older, but with Ji Hong there, Fang Jin didn't dare to look at it more.

The two of them entered the tent, and Fang Jin consciously retreated to guard twenty paces away, and the sound of talking inside could not be heard at all.

Two men in black appeared in the tent.

"Ji Hong, Wang Yi!"

The two knelt down and saluted: "Knock to see your lord!" ”

"To be able to capture Hangzhou, you two have made a lot of contributions. The accession of King Tang to the throne was not investigated, and it is understandable. ”

Zhai Zhe's words are praise, but they also have a sense of reproach.

Ji Hong and Wang Yi didn't know how to answer.

"Get up!"

The two stood side by side.

"Both of you followed me from Saibei to Jiangnan, and you are familiar with Shanxi and Saibei." Zhai Zhe stood up with his hands behind his back and asked, "Do you remember the scenery of Saibei?" ”

The two said in unison, "Remember! ”

Zhai Zhe walked out from behind the desk, stood in front of the two of them, and said, "I need someone to go to Shanxi and Saibei for me!" ”

The two of them glanced at each other, and they both arched their hands and said, "The last general is willing to go." ”

Zhai Zhe looked at the two of them for a moment and said: "Ji Hong only has one arm, Shanxi people have acquaintances who can remember your appearance, walking is not good, this matter still has to be Wang Yi to go." ”

Wang Yi immediately agreed: "Obey!" ”

The road was full of dangers, and he didn't really want to go, but he didn't dare to hesitate a little.

"I have four letters here, one to Jiang Ping, the general soldier of Datong, one to Fan Yongdou, the proprietor of Dashengkui, and two to the Great Khan of Chahar and Tumut respectively. The letters were sealed and had to be baked over a fire before the handwriting could be revealed. At present, there is a shortage of soldiers everywhere, and the road from Hangzhou to Shanxi is far away, so you can take three or four henchmen to take a boat from Jiangbei by sea, and pretend to be a merchant from Henan to Shanxi. ”

"Yes!"

Zhai Zhe paced a few steps, and then said: "When you see these people, they want to ask, and you tell the truth about Zhedong, don't exaggerate, and don't depreciate yourself." ”

"Yes!"

Zhai Zhe glanced at him a few more times, "You go to Jiangbei, I'm afraid it won't work if you don't shave your head!" ”

Wang Yi glanced at his mouth and made a look that was more ugly than crying.

When the two of them left the camp, it was as mysterious as entering the camp. Some patrolling soldiers saw them, but no one knew their true faces except Fang Jin.

Sending the two away, inside the big tent, Zhai Zhemo held the waist knife that Lu Xiangsheng gave him, "A qiē has just begun!" ”

The next day, Zuo Ruo selected 1,000 recruits from the Xiaoshan camp, gathered 10,000 horses, and captured Haiyan again, and the troops pointed directly at Jiaxing Mansion to contain the army gathered under the city of Hangzhou.

The battle lasted for a month and seemed to be back to square one.

After the Qing army arrived in Hangzhou, Fang Guoan voluntarily abandoned Lin'an and stationed in Fuyang City in the upper reaches of the Qiantang River, backed by the mountains of eastern Zhejiang. Duoduo did not capture Hangzhou, fearing that the grain route would be cut off, and did not dare to send troops and horses deep into the hinterland of the mountains in eastern Zhejiang, but let him have a little leisure.

Fuyang to the west of the state capital, the state capital and then west of the state capital is Huizhou Mansion and Ningguo Mansion. After the order, the righteous soldiers of these two provinces raised troops and seized the six counties of Huizhou, and Ningguo Mansion also returned to the Ming Dynasty, and the righteous army reported to the Tang King of Fuzhou, and Huang Daozhou's army marched here.
