Yangzhou is an important defense town in Jiangbei, with heavy troops, high and deep pools, sufficient reserves of artillery, money and grain, and the governor Shi Kefa personally guarded it.

Who would have thought that such a fortified city would hold on for less than ten days.

On the 25th, when Zhai Zhecai arrived at the Qiantang River, the city of Yangzhou was broken, and the superintendent Shi Kefa was martyred.

The light cavalry stepped on the winding mountain road, which the wind did not like, and neither did the cavalry behind him. Eastern Zhejiang and even Jiangnan are not the favorite battlefields of the cavalry, and they are far from being as enjoyable as galloping in the grassland. The road was not easy to follow, but fortunately he had the best cavalry under his command, including more than 300 Tumut warriors who were married to Ulan.

There are guards of the merchant alliance who are familiar with the road to lead the way, and the light horse enters Tonglu from Shaoxing Mansion, and passes between Lin'an and Changhua into Huzhou Mansion. The road is narrow and undulating, especially the section of Tianmu Mountain, which is comparable to the smuggling trail in Hukou back then.

Che Feng didn't know why Zhai Zhe ordered him to take this road, and it was faster to wait for the warships of Zhoushan Island to cross the Qiantang River than to walk here.

It took four days to enter the Guangde territory, and there was little grain and grass supplies left for the light horsemen, and Che Feng ordered the secret envoy of the escort merchant alliance to contact and inquire about the news of Nanjing. I took the token of Ningshao Military Town to the prefect of Guangde to ask for supplies,

Guangde Mansion has the business name of the Shang Alliance, but it is just a very inconspicuous restaurant, and after the guards go inside to identify themselves, someone soon reports to Nanjing City and contacts Xiao Zhiyan and Fan Yi.

1,200 cavalry were stationed ten miles outside the city of Guangde, and Che Feng ordered his own soldiers to send a letter to the Guangde Mansion.

The soldiers saw the prefect of Guangde, showed the token with the document stamped with the seal of Ning Shaojunzhen, and said: "I am ordered by the military department to go to Nanjing to defend the imperial river." "There is no document from the Ministry of War, and the prefect of Guangde has not received an order from the imperial court, so he will be suspicious.

Che Feng heard that the negotiations were not smooth, so he personally brought fifty soldiers into the city, and forcibly went to the front of the Guangde Mansion to scold: "Don't you know that the Qing prisoners are besieging Yangzhou? Ning Shao's general soldier Dong Haibo was ordered to go to Jiangbei to defend the imperial river, if you delay a major event, you have a few heads enough to cut off. ”

He doesn't understand the habit of suppressing martial arts, who has always had a big fist in the grassland, and whose voice is loud.

The prefect of Guangde was stunned by his bluffing, and he was still hesitating.

The car was anxious and shouted: "Within two hours, send me the grain and grass supplies, otherwise I will take it myself outside the city." "His head is scorched and fluffy, and he has a big cake face, which may not be so conspicuous in the Mongolian steppe, but in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, it can only be described as fierce.

Putting down this sentence, Che Feng turned around and led his soldiers out of the city.

Since Hongguang ascended the throne, the military town has become more and more domineering, the governor of Zhejiang has been dismissed because of the military town in eastern Zhejiang, and the imperial court and the superintendent Shi Kefa have responded to the needs of the four towns in Jiangbei. The prefect of Guangde was worried that these people would burn, kill and loot outside the city, and he would not be able to escape if the matter became bigger, so he obediently sent grain, grass and soybeans to the barracks outside the city in less than two hours.

The light cavalry rested outside Guangde Mansion and waited for the business alliance to contact the city of Nanjing.

Che Feng understood that the purpose of his trip was to pick up his wife and son from Nanjing. After Guangde, he will reach the boundary of Yingtianfu, if he breaks in indiscriminately, he is likely to clash with the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and he will not be able to enter Nanjing City.

The envoy of the Shang Alliance had not yet returned, and Che Feng first received the news that Yangzhou City was broken.

Inside the city of Nanjing.

Not only Xiao Zhiyan is a headless fly, but up to Emperor Hongguang and Fuma Shiying, the pawns of the dealers have become headless flies.

The left army on the Western Front did not retreat after the defeat, and attacked Guazhou and fought a bloody battle with Huang Degong. The defense line of the Yangtze River on the eastern front was already stormy, and only Zheng's naval division was left to defend the defense line along the river. After the loss of Yangzhou, Ma Shiying ordered his brother-in-law Yang Wencong and Yang Wencong to be the imperial history of the capital, and the governor Chang and the second town had jurisdiction over the military affairs of Yangzhou and other places, and mobilized Liu Zeqing's troops and horses to garrison Pukou on the other side of Nanjing.

In the backyard of Wangjiang Restaurant.

Xiao Zhiyan wiped the long knife over and over again, and the longbow was pulled up and put down.

Fan Yi was upstairs urging Zhai Tianjian to copy the "Three Character Classic", and the sound of horses' hooves on the street outside made her heart a little flustered. In the past ten days, no one has bothered her, and behind the tranquility is the monstrous waves that are close in front of her. Her white fingers occasionally unconsciously grabbed the corners of her clothes, and then slowly let go. Although she was flustered, she believed in Zhai Zhe, and women can only believe in their men at this time.

Zhai Tianjian concentrated, set up the brush in his hand, moved the tip of the pen, and slowly gave birth to square words. An eight-year-old child doesn't feel the whole city uneasy.

The 100 soldiers of Ning Shaojun Town are guarding this restaurant around the building, and they are also guarded by the Shang Alliance. But without Zhai Zhe's order, Xiao Zhiyan didn't dare to leave, and Fan Yi wouldn't leave.

A rush of footsteps disrupted the silence.

A black-clothed messenger crashed into the door of the restaurant, and under the guidance of the guards, he saw Xiao Zhiyan, "Your Excellency has a life, order to escort Mrs. back to Ningshao." "Give the secret letter hidden in your place to Xiao Zhiyan.

Xiao Zhiyan was like a treasure, after opening it and reading it, he confirmed that it was correct, and immediately wrote a letter by hand, ordering: "Give this letter to Che Feng, and order him to come to Jurong immediately to answer Mrs.!" ”

At this time, it is time for the father to die and the mother to get married, and everyone takes care of everyone.

In order not to attract the attention of the Nanjing Garrison Division, Xiao Zhiyan first summoned a few shopkeepers of the business alliance to ride into the backyard of the restaurant in a carriage, and after letting Fan Yi and Zhai Tianjian sit in it, he selected forty witty and agile soldiers and guards to go out first and secretly escort them on the streets along the way.

A carriage leisurely walked out of the gate of the Moon Tower, and went unhurriedly to the business name of the Dongcheng District Business Alliance, Xiao Zhiyan deliberately stood at the door and scolded the soldiers.

In the carriage, Fan Yi held his son tightly in his arms with one hand and grabbed the handrail on the side of the carriage with the other. She hadn't been so nervous in a long time as she was today.

Xiao Zhiyan waited until he confirmed that Fan Yi had changed a carriage in the semicolon and had left the city safely, and he let out a long breath.

Spend the night peacefully, and it rains at night.

The raindrops hit the green tiles of the roof, like a discordant lullaby, and Xiao Zhiyan tossed and turned all night without falling asleep.

When I woke up in the morning, it was cloudy, and the leaves outside the window were covered with crystal clear water droplets. Walking out of the door, the air was fresh, he settled down, packed up his long sword, bow and arrow, polished his leather boots, gathered his own soldiers and ordered: "All the troops are ready, follow me out of the city in a quarter of an hour!" ”

I only brought silver taels and dry food, and I didn't care about anything else. The sturdy men of this group were no longer hidden, and led their horses to the stables, and swaggered down the street in the direction of the east gate.

Xiao Zhiyan was right, Zhai Zhe handed over the safety of his wife and son to him, as if he had carried a thousand catties of burden, if there was anything wrong with these two people, he was afraid that he could only apologize with death. But in fact, now in the city of Nanjing, there is no longer any attention to them.

On May 4, on the same day that Fan Yi left the city, Huang Degong broke Zuo Liangyu's army in Guazhou again, forced the left army back, and reported the victory to Nanjing.

It's a pity that now this news can no longer let Ma Shiying get rid of his troubles, of course, the reward of the imperial court is indispensable, the holy decree is out of Nanjing, and Huang Degong is crowned as the Duke of Yasukuni.

In the court, Emperor Hongguang looked like he had not woken up, and all the major affairs in the court were handed over to Ma Shiying for disposal, he didn't have many ideas, and there were not many opportunities for him to govern. Every time I go to court, it seems to be a quarrel, but today it is quiet.

Ma Shiying, Qian Qianyi, Liu Kongzhao, Zhang Sunzhen, Qian Zeng, Zhao Zhilong and others were whispering in front of them, and the rest of the people couldn't hear what they were talking about.

A court meeting, like watching a pantomime play, in the eunuch straight into the eardrum, "If there is something to play, there is nothing to retreat from!" The shouting ended.

Outside the city of Nanjing.

Jurong County.

In a modest inn on the side of the road, the shopkeeper and his fellow curled up in the kitchen boiling water. Forty or fifty sabber guards guarded the surroundings, and there were scouts watching carefully twenty or thirty miles before and after.

In the inner courtyard of the inn, Fan Yi took his son and hid inside. At this moment, Zhai Tianjian was finally a little uneasy.

Qian Dengren, the general manager of the guard, knocked on the door outside and said, "Madam! ”

Fan Yi straightened his slightly messy head and straightened his outfit.

"Come in?"

The pro-soldier entered the door and bowed and saluted: "Madam, we have to wait here for a day, Vice General Xiao will go out of the city today, General Che will lead the army to arrive today, with the escort of the army, there will be no more pursuers in Nanjing City." ”

He was selected by Fang Jin and Zong Mao from thousands of people, and he acted meticulously and was strong in martial arts. These people have a lot of respect for Fan Yi, but Fan Yi is not familiar with them, and Zhai Zhe never lets his family interfere in military affairs.

Fan Yi nodded lightly and said, "It's up to the general's arrangement." ”

These pro-soldiers should be Zhai Zhe's most trusted people.

The road was a little muddy, and Xiao Zhiyan's leather boots that he had only polished in the early morning were quickly stained with a layer of mud, and he didn't arrive at the inn until late afternoon, and immediately ordered someone to go south to contact Che Feng after meeting Fan Yi.

It wasn't until nightfall that I received news of the wind. His 1,200 light horsemen were stopped by the garrison soldiers and horses in Gaochun County, and the Che Feng negotiation was unsuccessful many times, and in a fit of rage, he led the army to defeat the officers and soldiers, and was coming towards Jurong.

Jurong is still forty or fifty miles away from Nanjing City, and Che Feng and his party are running with torches, unscrupulous, and no soldiers and horses come to intercept them.

Early the next morning, Fan Yi took Zhai Tianjian into the carriage again, and the eight-year-old boy looked at the cavalry around him with a curious expression. The group made a detour to Changdang Lake in the direction of Jintan, so as not to disturb the Jiangfang soldiers and horses.

The carriage did not walk fast, and at noon the next day, the light cavalry garrisoned on the edge of Changdang Lake, and the wind of the car discussed the military situation with Xiao Zhiyan.

In the past few days, refugees who have fled from Jiangbei can be seen everywhere, and several people were arrested and interrogated on Chefeng Road, and it was learned that the Qing captives were slaughtering the city in Yangzhou, and half of the river was stained red with blood.

Yangzhou, Nanjing, Suzhou, Songjiang and Hangzhou are the five major centers in the south of the Yangtze River, with a population of about one million each. Yangzhou is particularly rich because it is the location of the Yamen of the Lianghuai Salt Transportation Division. The 10-day massacre of the city, more than half of the victims.

Stimulated by this news, the sergeant became murderous.

"How to fight, you have to see the adults first and then make a decision, saving more than 1,000 of us, it's not enough to add gaps to people. The sole purpose of our trip was to escort my wife and son back to Ningbo safely. Xiao Zhiyan's mind was clear.

"According to the time, the adults should also come over, why has there been no news of Ning Shao's army." The car is confused.
