Hangzhou city head.

Feng Qin was carefully inspecting the city defenses, and under his feet were hot blue bricks and rocks.

"My lord, these cannons were built three years ago!"

Feng Qin leaned over and looked down along the muzzle of the gun, the moat was turbulent, and after the moat was a plain that stretched for hundreds of miles, and the large and small rivers flowed gently.

"Shoot it!"

"Ahh The artilleryman couldn't close his mouth.

Feng Qin touched the barrel of the cannon, the iron cannon was hotter than the masonry, and he had seen the power of the iron cannon on the naval warships and city defenses of Ningshao, but he had never seen such a large iron cannon.

"Boom!" An iron ball the size of a pig's head smashed into the river in the distance, causing a splash.

There was a loud bang in the east city, which frightened the people in the city who were already panicked into the house.

"Fire every other hour, and try all the iron cannons in the city." Feng Qin continues to move forward.

The strongest city he had ever seen was Datong City, followed by Hangzhou. Each of the four gates has three iron gates, and there is an urn city, and the battlements of the city wall are angular and angular, and the arrows can attack any place. Now his biggest problem is that there are too few defenders, and they are all guarding the city, so they can't control the city.

From the early morning patrol to the afternoon, he picked out all kinds of faults in the city defense, and the personal soldiers behind him marked the places he was not satisfied with.

In the distance, a soldier rushed up to the city wall and bowed his hand and said, "My lord! ”

"Hmm!"

"By the order of the lord, all the gentry in Hangzhou who have held official positions above the fifth rank in the imperial court have been invited to the yamen."

Feng Qin nodded lightly and continued to move forward.

About half an hour passed before he paced back to the governor's yamen.

There were seventy or eighty people in the courtyard behind the governor's yamen, and soldiers with swords stood guard at the door, all of whom were bareheaded. originally didn't want to cut his braids, but after receiving Feng Qin's summons, he had to shave his head, and he should cut off his braids when he went out with the order issued before.

The tea was refilled several times, and there was a long queue in front of the thatched house.

These gentry came here and waited for an hour, and before they saw the main figure, they greeted each other, and looked at the bright heads, embarrassed and uneasy.

"Who is this new garrison, how dare he be so rude, King Lu goes on like this, I'm afraid there will be no good end!"

Several people gathered in a group and muttered, and the sound of talking was like the chirping of mosquitoes.

When Bolo and the others were cleared, they hung their heads one by one, for fear of provoking the unhappiness of the Manchurians. The Ming army captured Hangzhou, and before the order to summon them was issued, the mouths of these people began to be dishonest. In the Ming Dynasty, it was normal for the gentry to discuss the government and politics, and shaving their heads did not make them feel inferior.

Feng Qin returned home to change his clothes and led the four personal soldiers into the back garden.

When he entered, the courtyard immediately became audible even when the pin fell to the ground. The people who used to curse are now honest.

Feng Qin walked straight to the pavilion, his eyelids drooped all the way, no one looked at him, and the gentry consciously got out of the way. When he stood still in front of the gazebo, he beckoned everyone to gather around.

"You have all been officials in the Ming Dynasty, and the last general took the liberty to invite you over today."

Feng Qin's voice was not loud, and the gentry all over the courtyard were listening with their ears pricked up.

"Oh, everyone's heads are cleanly shaved!" Feng Qin looked around and asked in a very flat tone: "Have you ever been in the company of Qingyu?" ”

"We look forward to the king day and night, and we are cruel and cruel, and we are forced to do this!" Thousands of flies flew in the back garden.

The "buzzing" sound lasted for half a cup of tea, and Feng Qin and the others quieted down and continued.

"The common people have a short view, and it's just that they have shaved their heads and kept braids, and you have all received the emperor's grace, studied the books of the saints, and also did such acts, I'm afraid it can't be justified." He usually speaks very little, but today he said so many words in one breath, and his tongue was a little straight.

As soon as the words fell, two columns of soldiers rushed into the back garden with a fierce momentum, their long knives half drawn, and their eyes looked at Feng Qin's gestures.

The fireball-like sun was no longer so hot, and dozens of people had a chill down their backs. It turned out that they were not recruited into the government, but settled accounts after the autumn.

"Not only have some of you shaved their heads, but some of you have been made officials." Feng Qin took out a list from his sleeve, "Wang Jin, Shen Fuyong...... Twenty-three of them were former officials of the Qing court, and their crimes were unforgivable and they were immediately arrested and imprisoned. ”

The soldiers around them rushed like wolves, dragging the frightened gentry who had collapsed to the ground outside the back garden.

Feng Qin arched his hand to the frightened crowd and said, "You were all the pillars of the Ming Dynasty, and you are much more knowledgeable than me. Tomorrow's new governor will come, and people like these who have been deeply favored by the emperor and have taken refuge in the Tartars are really not left. When the time comes, please make a match during the trial, and don't let such brazen people get by. ”

Where in the courtyard is there anyone who dares to answer.

Chen Zilong is almost here, and Feng Qin is according to Zhai Zhe's order to treat this wicked person first, so that Chen Zilong can do as much as he wants.

After the capture of Hangzhou, how to deal with the people and gentry who had been shaved was a direct problem faced by the soldiers and horses of eastern Zhejiang. Zhai Zhe will not pursue those people, there are warriors in this world, but more people are ordinary people who only see their wives and children hot kang heads. North of the Yangtze River, he was afraid that more than ninety percent of the people would be shaved, and it was impossible for him to force all these people to the opposite side of him.

However, after Fang Guoan urged the Zhejiang soldiers to capture Lin'an, they wantonly killed the people and gentry who were shaved and robbed the property, and Zhai Zhe heard about it and did not stop it.

The Zhejiang soldiers haven't seen their salaries for two months, and if they don't get some money to stabilize the morale of the army, I'm afraid that they will disperse soon. This is also why he took out 30,000 taels of silver to Fang Guoan, and he immediately led troops to help.

Don't talk about Zhejiang soldiers, Ning Shaojun's military salary is also stretched. Eastern Zhejiang was barren, and Shaoxing Fu and Ningbo Fu could not support these soldiers, so they had to recover some property from the gentry who had taken refuge in the Qing Dynasty. But Zhai Zhe is very cautious, so far, he has not killed anyone, and even if he wants to kill, he will not do it himself.

There was a turmoil in Hangzhou, and all kinds of news in the market were boiling.

Wanghailou is a famous restaurant in Hangzhou, a few months ago I wanted to make an appointment three or four days in advance for a meal here, but now there are few tables of banquets in the whole restaurant.

The four guards followed, and Liu swayed into the Tianzi box with the wind.

"Shopkeeper Liu!"

A young man sitting inside hurriedly got up and saluted. If two months ago, he was dismissive of businessmen like Liu Suifeng. Today, he was given advice, and it took a lot of effort to invite Liu Suifeng over.

"Prince Wang, dare to be entertained by you in person."

The young man stepped forward in a few steps and grabbed Liu Suifeng's sleeve, "My father was arrested by the people of the governor's yamen, you have a friendship with them, please be accommodating!" ”

"Ahh Liu opened his sleeves with the wind and said indifferently, "Didn't you push me into the fire pit?" ”

"Shopkeeper Liu, please, if you can save your father, you can spend as much as you want."

"Prince Wang, don't say that, you didn't take care of my business in the past." Liu Suifeng smiled and didn't smile, "But there is a saying that you must have heard, since ancient times, the yamen has been open to the south, and there is no reason to come in without money." ”

"It's easy to talk about silver!" The young man gritted his teeth.

On the 15th day of the sixth month of the leap month, Chen Zilong arrived in Hangzhou, took over the affairs of the governor's yamen, and summoned the famous gentry in the city to interrogate the Qing court officials in the prison.

Three days later, Feng Qin confiscated 200,000 taels of silver, released 20 gentry, and the remaining three were beheaded, and another 150,000 taels of silver were copied, at least the military salary for most of the year was settled.

Chen Zilong had friendships with many gentry, and those who did not have friendship could find friendship by turning a corner, and the twenty released gentry were grateful to him.

saw blood twice in a row, first killed the splash, and then killed the gentry, and most of the people in Hangzhou were honest.

The governor's yamen immediately posted a notice stating that, except for the righteous soldiers who voluntarily joined the army, each household between the ages of 17 and 50 would be divided into three dings and be organized into the governor's camp, and the government would provide food and lodging, but there would be no military pay. During the three days, 16,000 men were selected from the best and trained by veterans of the army, and they were divided into barracks at four gates.

He also gathered the craftsmen of the guards to make armor and ordnance day and night.

Then every ten households are classified as one A, and ten are one guarantee, and each household commits the prohibition and is guilty of the same crime as the nine households of A. Ten young men are selected to keep the streets safe, and these people can also be pulled to the head of the city when the situation is critical. These measures have organized the city of Hangzhou into a large net, and the thread of the net is manipulated in the hands of Chen Zilong and Feng Qin.

In the middle of the month, the tide of the Qiantang River is turbulent.

100 miles away from Hangzhou.

Chen Huwei's sailors carefully walked along the coastline, and Zuo Ruo was ordered to raid Haiyan and take control of the largest salt field in Zhejiang.

It takes money to maintain a large army.

Zong Mao, the chief steward of the Ningshao General Military Mansion, had been staring at the yellowed paddy fields with his rice, and Zhai Zhe was the same. But now, it's not the time to get your hands dirty. Then the salt works are the most reliable source of profit.

Zuoruo garrisoned Haiyan, which happened to be in the middle of Songjiang and Hangzhou. On the one hand, it can deter the defenders of Songjiang, and when the war in Hangzhou is unfavorable, it can rush to support within two days, and it only takes five or six days to Chongming Island. With Chen Huwei's sailor as his companion, if the Qing captives mobilize a large army to besiege them, they can retreat to the sea when the war is unfavorable.

In this way, the layout of the eastern Zhejiang army formed a long chain along the Qiantang River and the coastline of the East China Sea, Fang Guoan and Zuo Ruo were defending Hangzhou on the left and right respectively, Zhai Zhe was dispatched in the Xiaoshan camp, and Zhang Mingzhen was on an expedition to threaten the Yangtze River estuary.

The military must not be delayed for a moment, and after three or four days of effort, the war situation in eastern Zhejiang is set up, waiting for the arrival of the Qing army.

It is precisely because of this that Zhai Zhe hurriedly sent off King Lu and rushed to Xiaoshan.

The messengers of the Ningbo Prefecture went to Dongyang and Jinhua to meet the courtiers, and it took at least seven or eight days to make a round trip. When the courtiers arrived, it would take two or three days to discuss supporting the Lu Jian State. After the king of Fenglu supervised the country, he fought again, and the rebels who raised things in various places were afraid that they would be slaughtered by the Qing army.

Qian Sule and Zheng Zunyu assisted Zong Mao in organizing the distribution of volunteers from all over Ningshao to march to Xiaoshan, and more than 8,000 volunteers from Yuyao Zhuang Sun Jiaji, Cixi, Dinghai, Fenghua and Shangyu were under the name of Zhai Zhe. The rest of the people scattered to their homes and planted and harvested the ripening early rice.

At present, eastern Zhejiang is in chaos, including King Lu, all regard Zhai Zhe as the backbone, and take away Zhang Mingzhen, Zhai Zhe effortlessly controls all the troops except for Fang Guoan.
