Although the Baitou Army did not make any moves, Xu Du did not miss the degree of buying weapons and armor from Zhai Zhe. Zhai Zhe even wondered if Xu Du had spent all the money he had saved over the years.

In the spring, bad news from two places reached Gangnam.

In the Battle of Songjin in Liaoning, the Ming army was defeated and lost the Ningjin defense line that had been operating for many years, so that the cavalry of the Qing Dynasty could gallop directly under the Shanhai Pass, and Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, was killed. Emperor Chongzhen personally worshipped, which was a hundred times more solemn than Lu Xiangsheng's death. At this point, Zhai Zhe's two old acquaintances, Yang Guozhu, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, died at the foot of Songshan, and Hu Dawei, the chief soldier of Datong, died outside Kaifeng City, and I don't know the news of Lei Yanqian.

Li Zicheng partially taught Kejingxiang, Zuo Liangyu retreated to Wuchang, and Zhang Xianzhong invaded Sichuan. At that time, Sun Chuanting supervised the Shaanxi Qin soldiers, Baoding soldiers and Huguang Zuoliangyu soldiers in Jiangbei, surrounded and suppressed Li Zicheng in three ways, and He Renlong, the general of Shaanxi, was beheaded for the crime of fearing the enemy and avoiding war, and the deputy general Gao Jie replaced him. Fang Guoan, the general soldier of Zhejiang, was ordered to lead his troops to Jiangbei to relieve the siege of Feng. The hungry people in all parts of the south of the Yangtze River are in turmoil, and the slogan of King Chuang from the north of the Yangtze River makes these hungry people who have no hope give birth to the idea of reincarnation of fate.

These news made Zhai Zhe, who chose to settle in Jiangnan at the beginning, both happy and sad.

In March, Dongyang County ordered Yao Sundi to ask for a bribe of 10,000 gold on the grounds that someone had secretly accused Xu Du of participating in the rebellion, but Xu Du did not allow it.

In April, another person reported to Wang Xiong, the capital of Jinhua Prefecture, that Xu Du had rebelled, and Wang Xiong ordered officers and soldiers to arrest him, and 20 people were killed by Xu Du's subordinates.

"Xu is reversed!" Fast horses generally rush from Jinhua Mansion to all parts of Zhejiang.

Zhai Zhe is definitely the one who knows the news, he is far away from the sea, but Ji Hong's spy eyes have been staring at the land of eastern Zhejiang. Behind those who snitched was the shadow of this one-armed man.

"Xu is reversed!" The messengers of Jinhua Mansion rushed to Hangzhou.

In more than ten days, the righteous army tied a white scarf on its head, called the white-headed army, with Xu Du as the commander, Kedongyang and Yiwu counties, and hundreds of thousands of servants. Before Dong Xianghuan, the governor of Zhejiang, had time to react, he successively captured Zhuji, Pujiang, Yongkang, Wuyi, Tangxi, Lanxi and other counties, and the whole Zhejiang was shaken.

Zhejiang's general army Fang Guoan was transferred, Hangzhou was empty, and Chen Zilong, the manager of Shaoxing, was ordered by Dong Xianghuan to go straight to Dinghaiwei.

When he received the news, Chen Zilong was shocked and entangled, he never imagined that his friend of more than ten years would embark on the road of rebellion. Xu Du often has remarks that he is dissatisfied with the government and politics, that is, he himself has a lot of dissatisfaction with the current political situation in the court, otherwise he would not have been unwilling to be an official at home for many years.

But discontent is one thing, rebellion is another. is like his own child, no matter how naughty and prodigal he is, he is reluctant to slap him to death.

remembered that a year ago, Xu Du, Zhai Zhe and a few friends from several societies were still traveling to the West Lake for Zhou Yanru to go to the post of assistant, and Chen Zilong's heart was as bitter as eating Coptis chinensis.

From Shaoxing Mansion in the early morning, I did not arrive at Dinghaiwei until it was dark. Chen Zilong couldn't ride a horse, so he could only run on two legs and panted all the way.

The personal soldiers of the General Guard Station cautiously welcomed Chen Zilong into the guard and said, "Tell Lord Chen that the Chief Soldier has gone to Taizhou to inspect the coastal defense. ”

"Report the news, please bring General Zhai back." Chen Zilong gasped and stomped his feet, anxious like an ant on a hot pot.

"Yes!"

Chen Zilong personally watched the messenger Pegasus leave, and then he was relieved to rest in the accommodation arranged for him by Zong Mao.

I don't know where Zhai Zhe was in Taizhou, until the evening of the next day, a cavalry rushed back to Dinghai Guard with churning smoke and dust.

"Lord Chen!" Zhai Zhe didn't have time to wipe off his sweat and rushed to Chen Zilong's residence.

"Xu is reversed!" Chen Zilong stumbled.

Zhai Zhe was not surprised at all, sighed, and said, "I have already heard about it." ”

"Why do you think he's so confused!" Chen Zilong still regretted.

It was Zhai Zhe who mentioned the matter first and said: "There are mountain people and pirates in Taizhou Mansion who respond, and there are white-headed army activities in Tiantai Mountain and Huangyan, so I came back from patrolling over there and ordered Taizhou General Zuo Ruo to be on guard." ”

Chen Zilong came to his senses at this time, and arched his hand: "The governor ordered me to mobilize your Ning Shaojun soldiers and horses to encircle and suppress them. Then he took out the official document from his sleeve and handed it to Zhai Zhe.

Zhai Zhe took the official document, read it carefully, was silent for a moment, his eyebrows curved into a few curves, his face showed a worried look, and he hesitated and said: "Brother Wozi, I will order troops tonight, and I will be able to come out tomorrow morning, but there are a few untruths, I want to say it, so as not to delay the big event." ”

"Mr. Zhai, just say."

"Half of my infantry soldiers were recruited in May last year, and they are not yet proficient in training, and they have never set foot on the battlefield." Zhai Zhe's two eyes narrowed into a line, and his two rough hands clenched together, a little embarrassed, "The key point is that these people are all recruited from Dongyang and Yiwu, I am afraid that the relationship with those people in the Baitou Army is not clear, so as not to cause a big disaster." ”

Chen Zilong's face instantly darkened, "Is Chief Zhai Zhe prevaricating?" "He's still a little imposing when he's angry.

Zhai Zhe seemed to be frightened, waved his hand again and again, and said: "I will never dare to do this, I will take the imperial court's Yulu and report it on the battlefield, but only my army is afraid of delaying the big event, if there is still an army to assist in the bomb pressure, I can also accept the heart of my recruits in Ningshao Town." ”

Chen Zilong's expression softened, and he apologized for his reckless faux pas just now. It was really the news that the leading soldiers in Jiangbei had been coming back to him recently, which made him instantly carried away by anger.

"Who can do this?"

"The 6th Division under the command of Zhoushan General Huang Binqing is an elite soldier, and most of them are Fujian, and they have nothing to do with the Baitou Army.

Chen Zilong thought for a moment and replied, "I will mention it to the governor." ”

Although Zhai Zhe's words sounded a little unpleasant in an instant, there was still some truth when he thought about it carefully. Besides, one more soldier and horse can give one more help, and the most important thing is to suppress the Baitou Army with all your strength at the moment, so as not to let Jiangnan become as chaotic as Jiangbei.

Having said that, any more mention would make people suspicious. That night, Zhai Zhe gave an order overnight.

Because Zuo Ruo needed to garrison the Taizhou Mansion where there was a change, he ordered Xiao Zhiyan, Feng Qin, and Meng Kang, three generals, a total of 4,000 foot soldiers and 1,000 cavalry, ready to go. He also ordered Zhang Mingzhen to move from Shipu to Shaoxing to assist in guarding Shaoxing Mansion.

In the early morning of the next day, Chen Zilong personally supervised the 5,000 soldiers and horses of Ningshao Town to march in the direction of Fuyang, Hangzhou Prefecture, through Shaoxing Mansion, to stop the route of the Baitou Army to Hangzhou.

After two days of marching, the army arrived at Fuyang, Hangzhou Mansion was slightly settled, Chen Zilong personally took a boat to the governor's yamen to return to his life, and Zhai Zhe ordered scouts to explore the news in the direction of Jinhua Mansion.

As if knowing the actions of the soldiers and horses in Ningshao Town, the white-headed army of Xudu actually had nearly 10,000 people marching from Zhuji to Shaoxing Mansion. Dong Xianghuan, the governor of Zhejiang, listened to Chen Zilong's order and mobilized Huang Binqing, a general of Zhoushan, to lead his infantry to go ashore to assist in the encirclement and suppression. Li Zicheng's victory in the Central Plains made the people in Zhejiang regard the white-headed army as a flood beast, and they were eager to exterminate them in one go.

The situation in the entire eastern part of Zhejiang was chaotic, Xu Du raised the aftermath to attack the west, first pretended to besiege Jinhua Mansion, suddenly turned the direction and moved, and the troops approached Shanyin County, Shaoxing Prefecture, and engaged Huang Binqing's soldiers and horses who had just come ashore.

Chen Zilong supervised Zhai Zhe and Huang Binqing, and the two troops and horses were united and marched to Zhuji County to meet the main force of the Baitou Army.

Zhai Zhe ordered Xiao Zhiyan to lead the light cavalry to explore the way for the vanguard. There are mountain roads along the way, and Xiao Zhiyan led the cavalry to march along the official road and did not go deep into the mountains and forests. There was a small force of whiteheads to block the attack, but as soon as it touched it back. A light cavalry assault, along the official road to defeat the intercepted Baitou army, the cavalry regardless of the hidden soldiers and horses in the mountains and forests along the way, straight to Zhuji County.

The team of men and horses was left far behind, and Xiao Zhiyan's light horse had not been so happy for a long time. Twenty miles away from the county seat of Zhuji, I saw about four or five thousand people marching from the Baitou Army.

"What about a rabble like this, in the thousands?" Xiao Zhiyan took the bow in his hand and pointed ahead, "Attack." ”

Five hundred light horsemen lined up in four columns on the avenue and rushed straight to the Baitou army that retreated to the county seat of Zhuji.

The officers and soldiers came too fast, so fast that the loose rebels did not have time to react. The scouts who came to report the news were still running in the mountains and forests, and the light cavalry of the official army had reached the foot of Zhuji County. The light cavalry galloped to a distance of more than two hundred steps from the Baitou army, Xiao Zhiyan clearly saw that some of the thieves on the opposite side raised their birds, some raised their swords, ready to resist, and more people shrank back in panic.

Zhai Zhe sold nearly 2,000 bird guns to Xu Du, but the rebels on the periphery like this could not assemble this firearm in large quantities, and they did not have so many opportunities to train.

"Plus!"

"Stop!"

The light cavalry was like a remote-controlled plaything in Xiao Zhiyan's mouth, and the dense feathered arrows shot at the rebels who were not wearing armor. There were some sporadic counterfires on the opposite side, and one of the horses in the light cavalry was unfortunately shot by a bird, and it jolted wildly in the queue, throwing the knight on the horse down.

Xiao Zhiyan turned a blind eye, and after two rounds of arrow rain, he grabbed the reins of the horse, and in the bombardment of the birds, he drew the scimitar on his waist: "Rush!" ”

The distance of a few dozen steps was only an instant for the sprinting war horse, when the long knife slashed and killed dozens of rebels, blood and heads flew in the air, and the rest was a game of a few wild wolves chasing the sheep.

For some cavalrymen, this is an unpleasant game, but Xiao Zhiyan didn't think so. The cavalry hastily pursued more than ten miles, captured five or six hundred prisoners, and when he saw the county seat of Zhuji, he ordered the troops to be collected. In the northern grasslands, he is still a little soft on slaughtering horse thieves who are tied up, not to mention these homeless people who have no power to resist.

Maybe it's been too long since I've been on the battlefield, but it's only been a little over a year. Maybe he had been in the gentle country for too long, but he used to hang out in the fireworks place.

Well, maybe it's because he's getting older, and the bow and arrow in his hand are still accurate, but the scene of killing people doesn't like him.

Fortunately, in this battle, Zhai Zhe just wanted to teach Xu Du a lesson, so that he should not swell too much, and know how many catties and taels he has.

By the time Chen Zilong's brigade arrived in Zhuji, the Baitou army had already retreated.

The people in the county lived in peace, although the money, grain and other things were looted, but Xu Du did not kill here, which was the difference between him and those thieves in Shaanxi.

Chen Zilong's heart was slightly comforted, and Zhai Zhe said to Meng Kang in Zhuji County: "Xiucai rebelled, and it will not be successful in ten years." ”
