"That's good, but, with our small city, even if it resists their attack for a while, if it waits until their large army arrives, there is still no way to resist it! How will you deal with that? Zhu Sheng just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, and immediately thought of the next thing, and asked urgently.

"We have already sent someone to ask for help from the second son. A few days ago, I heard that the second prince of Pingnan led 5,000 soldiers and horses to be stationed in Chaozhou Mansion, Chaozhou Mansion is very close to us, as long as our side can hold on for a day, reinforcements can arrive. Zhu Da said confidently. They also have 8,000 households in Dapu County, even if it is the 500 green battalion under the command of the Dapu County garrison, they can still recruit two or three thousand young men from the whole city to defend the city. If you want to take their small city, you must also need more than 5,000 soldiers and horses.

If you think that the county order and garrison of Dapu County are loyal and patriotic, and are ready to fight with their lives, then you are wrong, and you are very wrong. If the Mawei Army had come with thousands of soldiers, there would be no need to make a siege posture, and the Dapu County Commander would have taken the initiative to open the city and surrender. But now that more than 200 people have come and want him to sacrifice the city, then he is too worthless. If the city gate is opened like this, will he still have a position in the other party's group in the future?

Zhu Sheng didn't want to think about what the county ordered them to think now, so it was better to go home first and discuss countermeasures with his family. With the big man, he returned to the Zhu family's mansion at a very fast speed. After the father and son met, Zhu Dafu saw his son's appearance as a "servant of the wind and dust". I couldn't help but be surprised. He closed the door and stayed in the house to listen to a little song. I don't know what's going on out yet. And Zhu Sheng was also surprised to see his father but not his eldest brother and younger brother.

"What's going on?"

"Where has the family gone?"

The two voices were made almost simultaneously.

"How did you become like this? The sky has fallen, the earth has fallen? Haven't you always been very calm, and today is not the case? Zhu Dafu pouted dissatisfiedly and said.

"Oh, Dad, when do you care about this? King Jingnan's army came over, and King Jingnan rebelled! Zhu Sheng stopped talking nonsense with his father, and directly told the situation outside. The vanguard of King Jingnan, with more than 200 people, is now at the north gate. If you want the county to order the lord to open the city and surrender, it is estimated that it will not be long before a large army arrives. Tell me where my eldest brother and third brother have gone? ”

"What, King Jingnan rebelled? This is terrible, your eldest brother is still checking the accounts in the shop in the south of the city, and your third brother doesn't know where to fool around! Zhu Dafu exclaimed in shock.

"Big man, go to the shop in the south of the city to find my eldest brother. Ergou, go to the brothel and drag the third child back for me. Zhu Sheng immediately shouted to the two family members in the courtyard. Then he turned his head to his father Zhu Dafu and asked, "Dad, what do you say we should do, I don't pay attention to it now." But the son thinks. The strength of King Jingnan will definitely not be much weaker than that of King Pingnan, and the key point is that our Dapu is too close to Fujian. It will definitely not be able to stop their attack, and sooner or later it will fall. If we want to die like this, we might as well let Dadi surrender on behalf of our Zhu family, just rely on our dealings with ocean trading companies, maybe we can get a good way out, what do you say? ”

Zhu Dafu didn't think so, he had experienced the war more than ten years ago, and once the army entered the city, it would burn and loot, and it would pick on large households. Who is the richest in this Dapu County, his Zhu family, as soon as the rebels enter the city, who will rob him, there must be no doubt that it is his Zhu family. "No, others can open the city and surrender, but our Zhu family can't, we are the richest family in Dapu County, and the rebels will definitely be the first to find our family when they enter the city, and if they are not careful, the lives of the whole family will be over." Son, have you forgotten, Geng Jingzhong and his father Geng Jimao were murderous maniacs back then. ”

When Zhu Sheng heard it, he felt that what Zhu Dafu said was also reasonable. If it weren't for the fact that their Zhu family hid quickly fifteen years ago, and they were not the richest, their family would have been robbed all, and later, that is, they annexed the real estate of those big families who were killed, Chashan Dian pù or something, and developed into the richest man in Dapu County today. He still remembered this very clearly, after all, he was fourteen years old at that time. "Then, let's leave Dapu immediately and go to Guangzhou on the runway, no matter how powerful Geng Jingzhong is, he can't hit Guangzhou all at once. The child still has a lot of relationships in Guangzhou, and we have a good life over there. ”

As the two were talking, Zhu Sheng's eldest brother Zhu Mao and third brother Zhu Wu entered the courtyard one after the other. "Dad, it's not good, there are rebels attacking the city, what should I do!" Zhu Mao asked loudly as soon as he came in.

"I don't have time to tell you in detail, quick, pack up our things, let's leave the county immediately, take a boat to Hanjiang, go to Chaozhou first, and then turn to Guangdong."

Zhu Mao and Zhu Wu became anxious when they heard this, and said, "Dad, what should we do about our family?" All of our family's possessions are here! If we just leave, we won't have anything! ”

I can't help but the two of them are not in a hurry, most of the Zhu family's property is in the name of the second Zhu Sheng, Zhu Sheng's ability is too strong, and they can't be jealous. However, all the properties under their names are in this Dapu, if they just leave, it will be over, all these years of happiness and hardship will be in vain, so many properties, how can they give it up!

Although Zhu Sheng was reluctant, he still spoke: "Dad, eldest brother and third brother, you can't ask for these family properties, save our lives first, as long as a few of us are still there, the family property is gone, and we can earn it back, if the people are gone, then everything will be over." ”

Zhu Mao and Zhu Da hesitated for a moment, and the eldest Zhu Mao said: "Dad, you can't go, can't we surrender directly, it's a big deal to give some money to those soldiers......"

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Sheng was also anxious, and said, "Big brother, when is this coming, you are still so hesitant." Have you forgotten how those rebels robbed and killed people fifteen years ago? Will they only look at the little money you gave and give up all the property of our Zhu family? ”

The New Year's mood in the city has been completely ruined, and all the shops have closed. The hundreds of soldiers of the Dapu garrison have all gone up to the city tower, and their hearts are a little bottomless, this city wall is only more than four meters high, can it withstand the opponent's attack and hold out all day?

Not to mention what the Dapu County Commander thinks, the two hundred horsetail soldiers outside the north gate have been waiting for a response for nearly half an hour, and when the half hour arrives, if the Dapu County Commander does not open the city gate, they will start attacking the city. As one of the vanguard troops, they were sent here to attack this small county town, and they did not have the opportunity to participate in the attack on Meizhou Mansion by a large army, they were already angry in their hearts, and if this county commander dared to resist, he must have a good taste of the power of the Mawei Army.

Generally speaking, in an army, the character and style of the chief general will affect the officers and soldiers of his subordinates, and the Mawei Army is certainly no exception. Before the formal mobilization of troops, Geng Jingzhong also convened a meeting of the main officers to discuss and formulate a tactical plan together, even if he had already had a mature idea, but he would try his best to listen to the speeches of each person, absorb the better suggestions of them, and unify the opinions of everyone in the way of discussion, and would never rudely and arbitrarily deny others.

The first step in the march was to take over the province of Guangdong to strengthen its strength. Relatively speaking, Guangdong is more important to Fujian than other places, and taking Guangdong, and their own Fujian is connected into a piece, which can be attacked and defended, of course, it is not just to take the entire territory of Guangdong, but also to take down Zhenzhou in the south of Jiangxi, so that if you hold a few key passes, the southernmost corner of China will become a completely closed kingdom, and it is not easy for others to fight and enter.

Taking Guangdong, at the same time, you can also show your strength like the imperial court and Wu Sangui, so that they dare not underestimate themselves. In that case, the imperial court will be even more anxious, and will step up the arrangement of the battle with Wu Sangui in Hunan, and attract some of the Qing court's troops, then the slightly weaker Wu Sangui and the imperial court will become evenly matched, so when they both lose, it will be the day when they come out to clean up the mess. When the time comes, it is time to strike out in a big way, take down land after place, and accomplish your goal. However, this is only the general direction, and the situation of the battle is changing from moment to moment, and the plan will change with it.

Taking Dapu County is not a big battle, it may be a relatively easy battle, but it is quite important for Qin Qiong, the deputy commander and captain of the third battalion of the first division that leads the army, this is the first time he has led the army alone since he joined the Mawei Army. This opportunity was not even given to their battalion commander Hu Biao, and the chief of staff of the division headquarters was directly assigned.

"Deputy battalion commander, this Dapu County is so big, there are only 500 garrisons in total, hmph, I am afraid that there are only more than 300 people who go out to eat empty salaries. Even if you add the county government's errands, there are only 500 people at most. Let's take a break from cooking, why do we have to wait here, the brothers are a little impatient. Zhang Hu, the leader of the third battalion, asked with his head sideways.

"Ho, you think I don't want to, the order from above, this is called salute before soldier. Anyway, no matter what method is used, the victory of Dapu County is indispensable to the credit of the brothers. Brothers, don't worry, we can't run away with our credit! Qin Qiong said with a smile on the corner of her mouth, her eyes staring at the county seat of Dapu County for a moment, just waiting for the movement over there.

Time passed like this, and Zhang Hu, who had just run over to inspect the team, came back. "Deputy battalion commander, this time is only three minutes." Zhang Hu took his pocket watch and handed it to Qin Qiong and said. (To be continued......)
