"The general sent an order and ordered Fan Yongdou to go to Wuchang Mansion to meet him"

The messenger of the order entered from dismounting until he stood in front of Fan Yongdou and gave his hand to convey the order. He didn't know Fan Yongdou's identity, as the general's herald, he didn't need to apply color to anyone, not everyone had to learn to be sophisticated, as a general's personal guard, it was a kind of pride, a kind of self-satisfaction that didn't need to be concealed.

Zong Mao, Feng Qin, Ji Hong, and now Jin Xiaoding, one by one, the seniors are in front, they just need to follow the footsteps and wait for the opportunity to fall on their heads.

After Fan Yongdou arrived in Jiangnan, he was extremely low-key, except for the first time he met his wife and his sister Fan Yi, he has been working as a duke in Hangzhou. Zhai Tang is the general's brother, and the house is full of guests at the moment. He has been honestly hiding in the shadows, Zhai Zhe will think of him, but it is not time yet.

Sure enough, before he had been stable in Hangzhou for a month, Zhai Zhe, who was far away in Wuchang, came all the way to summon him.

"Thank you Jun Ye" Fan Yongdou waved his hand and ordered the housekeeper to take out a silver ingot, took it and personally presented it to the messenger with both hands, and said happily: "Jun Ye has worked hard all the way, and this bit of silver is left for Jun Ye to buy a bowl of tea to drink."

The herald hesitated for a moment, stretched out his hand to take it, his attitude turned calm, and said, "Please Fan Dongjia hurry up and pack up, and you can follow me west." ”

There is no time for Fan Yongdou to prepare for procrastination, in fact, he has nothing to prepare, only by meeting the general can he get what he wants.

The Fan family used to work for the Jurchens, and Fan Yongdou's goal was to become a Jin Shangkui. Now there was a wider world before his eyes, and he couldn't even imagine where he might be. The Fan family has a complete intelligence network in Jiangbei, which used to work for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and now it is about to turn around.

It takes at least ** days to take a boat out of Hangzhou, take the canal to Zhenjiang, and then from the Yangtze River to Wuchang.

Fan Yongdou did not say goodbye to his sister Fan Yi, nor did he inform Zhai Tang.

He didn't walk alone, he was accompanied by Zhao Yucheng, the commander of the Jiangnan Secret Camp, a middle-aged scribe who was thin and almost became a monkey.

Fan Yongdou didn't know him, but it didn't prevent the two from becoming friends, because Zhao Yucheng knew his identity.

The boat ride was lonely, and the two chatted with each other, although they didn't say a word of value, they still gained a lot from each other.

Fan Yongdou is a native of the Northland, and the things he said casually were unheard of by Zhao Yucheng.

The anecdotes of Jiangnan told by Zhao Yucheng made Fan Yongdou understand the land better.

The topic of conversation between the two is inseparable from two places - Huguang and Shanxi.

Two bloody lands.

Shanxi.

Jin Xiaoding and Jiang Jian were isolated in Shanxi and Datong respectively, and the Ming army conquered one county after another anyway, only Datong City was as strong as ever. Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi resolutely carried out Dolgon's orders, and the people who cut off their braids were all beheaded.

Perhaps the lifting of the shaving order would ease the Han Chinese revolt, but it was unlikely that Dorgon would have ordered the revocation of the shaving order. This is related to his majesty and to the identity of the Jurchen conqueror.

Geng Zhongming and others fought all the way from Hebei to Shanxi, and after leading the army into Taiyuan Mansion, they immediately reported to Dolgon. Taiyuan is the capital of Shanxi, if it is captured by the rebels, it will have a huge impact, and the gentry of Shanxi who have defected to the Qing court are hiding in this fortified city. Defending Taiyuan will keep the hope of the Qing court in Shanxi.

The Qing troops were stationed in Taiyuan for three days and marched south. Dolgon couldn't get out of Datong City, and he desperately wanted to settle the rebellion in Shanxi. In half a month, Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde led a large army to connect Qingyuan, Taigu, and Qi County, and approached Pingyao.

To the south of Pingyao is Jiexiu, and there is Jinshan in the south of Jiexiu County, which is in the middle of Shanxi.

Jin Xiaoding led the army to arrive here, and there were already more than 20,000 people under his command, and more than 3,000 mules and horses.

These men were far from the soldiers under the command of the great general, and he was very cautious in fighting the first battle. In the past month, he has cleaned up the remnants of the army from Jindong, and played the banner of the general Zhai Zhe, which has gained a lot. In fact, his troops and horses are not very conspicuous in Shanxi, and the rebel armies everywhere are holding on to the city, and his old nest is in the Taihang Mountains.

Although the banner of the great general Zhai Zhe is loud, it is not the most terrifying. Some people played the banner of Prince Chongzhen, and some people raised troops in the name of Li Zicheng, only you can't think of it, and there is no righteous army that can't be called.

A qiē sees the true chapter on the battlefield.

The mountainous area in the southwestern part of Shanxi was a natural battlefield for the displaced people's army. Jin Xiaoding didn't want to come to Jiexiu to fight the Qing soldiers, but Jiexiu was a place where he had to save it.

His injuries were completely healed, and he still had some scars on his hands and feet.

The rebels were divided into eight camps and hid in dense mountain forests, these people came from different parts of Shanxi, and the main battalion had 30% of the troops. There were sentry guards on the perimeter, and most of them sat in the shade of the trees and chatted.

Jin Xiaoding did not require these rebels to maintain queue and order like in the army, he also needed fame to ensure his majesty. He did not expect to lead these people under his command to defeat the heavy encirclement and suppression of the Qing captives, but only hoped to hold on until the moment when the general led the army to the north.

A man with a bare head and flexible legs jumped in front of Jin Xiaoding like a dexterous ape from several big stones, knelt down on one knee and saluted: "Report, big boss, Qing captive Geng Zhongming led the army out of Pingyao City and is coming to Jiexiu."

Over the years, it has become a good way to make a living for Shanxi people to serve as guards for the caravans of the Sai, and there are many people who practice martial arts in Jindi.

"Revisited"

The dexterous scouts departed.

Jinshan was chosen because it was close to Jiexiu, and most of what Fan Yongdou and Zhai Tang left him was Jiexiu.

Jiexiu has produced many Jin merchants, but after Fan Yongdou and Zhai Tang left, the owners here have already fled to Yu Jingjing. With Dorgon's temper, he will definitely take revenge here.

Not far from the scout's departure, a man in his forties walked over and asked, "Big boss, do you want to save Jiexiu?"

He looks vicious, his head stubble and the beard on his face are connected together, like a green cloth, it is Hao Yangping, the younger brother of Hao Yangyou, the former leader of the Zhai family's caravan guard.

The Zhai family and the Fan family have deep roots in Shanxi, and these people are all relied on by Jin Xiaoding at this stage.

Jin Xiaoding frowned and pondered, but did not reply. He knew that Hao Yangyou wanted to save Jiexiu, and a small half of the leaders of his rebel army were Jiexiu.

After waiting for a long time, seeing that Jin Xiaoding did not react, Hao Yangping was a little unhappy, and said: "We have been drilling in the mountains for a month, and the Qing Dynasty has killed countless people in our Shanxi

A white-bearded old man stopped his excessive words: "Third child, shut up" He is Hao Yangyou, the head of the Zhai family's guards.

Hao Yangping was not convinced, and said: "Do you want to let Jiexiu's fellow villagers be killed by the Qing Dynasty?" When Zhai Tang left home, Hao Yangyou, the old commander who had been the Zhai family's guard for more than 20 years, didn't even know it. He listened to his brother's words and threw himself under Jin Xiaoding, but he has always been very unhappy with the Zhai family.

The two men were arguing around them, without any majesty in the army.

The righteous army is like this, after these days, Jin Xiaoding has long been used to it.

"Jiexiu, of course you have to save" He glanced at Hao Yangping coldly, and said slowly: "Facing the Qing soldiers, we are only afraid that we are not opponents, so we can only sneak attack secretly."

Hao Yangping wanted to despise him for being afraid of the Qing soldiers, and for fear that he would change his mind, so he immediately followed with a snake stick, saying: "It's okay to sneak attack, I am very familiar with the landscape roads of Jiexiu, and I am willing to lead the army as the vanguard."

The Hao family has been practicing martial arts for generations, and has a high prestige in the righteous army, Hao Yangping said flat, Jin Xiaoding could only nod and agree.

"Give you 3,000 soldiers, go to Jiexiu to inquire about the military situation, if you meet the Qing soldiers attacking Jiexiu, come back and report"

The rebel armies in Shanxi were suffocated, but they still practiced the strategy of local people guarding the locality. The rebels everywhere were reluctant to leave their own territory, and they were unwilling to obey the orders of others. The rebel army in Shanxi lacked a prestige leader.

Jin Xiaoding wants to be this leader, but the remnants of the rebel army who have been following the Qing soldiers will not be able to achieve his goal.

The relationship between the Fan family and the Zhai family will become his help, and it will also become his shackles, after all, Fan Yongdou and Zhai Tang have already gone to Jiangnan, and those guards seem to have been abandoned.

There was no fighting in Jiexiu County, and the Qing soldiers won consecutive battles a few days ago, which frightened some people. Most of Jiexiu's rebels were in Jin Xiaoding's camp, and the gentry in the county town were only afraid of the rebels' retaliation so they erected the banner of the feudal town.

Geng Zhongming entered the city and beheaded 500 people outside the county seat as if he had caught lots. The gentry who offered the city escaped, and the rich could buy a life with silver.

Hao Yangping got the news before he arrived at Jiexiu City.

According to Jin Xiaoding's order, he should return to Jinshan immediately to pay respects, but he was not in a hurry to go back.

He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he is fierce, and he has been upset when he runs in the mountains for a month after following Jin Xiaoding.

Hearing that the Qing soldiers were killing people indiscriminately, he couldn't hold it back, and led the army straight to Jiexiu City.

Perhaps it was because the Qing Dynasty had been too smooth recently, and twenty miles away from the county seat of Jiexiu, Hao Yangping met the Qing soldiers who were chasing and robbing the people.

"Brothers, kill all the captives" When Hao Yangping was serving as a guard outside the plug, he often confronted the horse thieves-for-tat, drawing his knife and leading his troops to pounce.

Within a quarter of an hour, 3,000 people cut off the heads of more than 20 Qing soldiers who had left the brigade, and Hao Yangping was so dizzy that he continued to move forward.

"Newspaper"

The scout galloped and fled into the camp outside the city of Jiexiu, and if he ran slowly, he would soon become a prisoner of the rebels.

The sudden appearance of the righteous army surprised Geng Zhongming in Jiexiu County, and now it is the righteous army that avoids the Qing soldiers, how dare anyone come to provoke the Qing soldiers.

He personally ordered 3,000 soldiers to attack Hao Yangping head-on.

Getting closer and closer to Jiexiu County, when he saw the oncoming banner of the Qing soldiers, Hao Yangping was shocked, and suddenly realized that he had fallen into the siege of the Qing soldiers.

Fortunately, he was not confused at the last moment and ordered: "Withdraw"

3,000 righteous troops against 3,000 Qing soldiers, if this battle can be won, the Qing captives will not be able to sweep the Jindong in a short period of time.

The only thing the rebels could compete with the Qing soldiers was to flee.

The 3,000 rebels fled to Geumsan in a hurry.
