Jining Prefecture.

"Report!"

"Laiwudian Shi Ni Jin and Xiucai Wu Ruming led a mob to kill the magistrate and rebel!"

Zuo Liangyu waved his hand and said, "I know, let's go down." ”

Zuo Liangyu regretted surrendering a little, first, the situation in Shandong was too bad, and second, his family was taken to Beijing by Dolgon.

Even if he chooses to defect in the future, his family is all in Beijing, and he can't escape the fate of cutting off his children and grandchildren.

Alas, I can only give birth to a son again!

Hong Chengchou said: "Lord Wang, you must kill the enemy in front of you as soon as possible, otherwise there will be more and more chaos in Shandong." ”

"Then what do you say?" Duoduo didn't have a good airway.

Where Fei Ruhe was stationed at this time, Duoduo was disgusted.

It is called Nanyang Town, and the terrain at the end of the Ming Dynasty is different from that after a few hundred years.

Nanyang Town is surrounded by Dushan Lake to the east and Nanyang Lake to the west. There is only a narrow land gap between the two lakes, and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal runs through the center of the town and joins three other rivers to the north of the town.

In other words, Fei Ruhe's camp is guarded by two lakes and four rivers.

If Duoduo wants to conquer this place, he must first defeat the Datong Marine.

If Duoduo attacked by a detour, he had to cross the Heshui River (Wanfu River) in the west, and Surabaya, Baima River, Beisha River, Nanliangshui, and Nansha River in the east. No matter which side you march from, you may be attacked by Bandu.

Even if he is allowed to cross the river calmly, he can only capture Feng County and Pei County. Further south is the Yellow River (Huai River), when the time will not be able to advance or retreat, Fei Ruhe cut off the grain road to make dumplings.

Hong Chengchou carefully studied the map and said, "If you can't break the enemy army in Nanyang Town, then you can only change the direction of attack. On the Jining side, 10,000 soldiers were left to garrison, and the army retreated for the time being. One can go to the water, along the river to the Yellow River, cross the river and attack Kaocheng, but it is easy to be cut off from the grain road, and it is easy to be discovered halfway. Second, you can choose to go to Qingzhou and gather heavy troops to kill Zhang Tieniu and Huang Fei. ”

"Cowering, what's so troublesome?"

Duoduo didn't want to fight like this, because Hong Chengchou was too stable, and he was already passive.

The Manchus did not fight such passive battles, they always took the initiative!

Duoduo stared at the map for a long time, and suddenly made up his mind: "Our army has many soldiers, and the enemy has few soldiers, so we will forcibly cross the river in sections." If you can't beat Nanyang Town, you can go directly to Dapei County. If the grain route is cut off, then grab grain in Pei County and Feng County, and in turn cut off the enemy's grain route! Don't look at Nanyang Town, which is now easy to defend and difficult to attack, after being cut off from the grain road, it is a dead place! ”

Zuo Liangyu reminded: "Although Yutai County is my territory, the city defenders have already surrendered to the enemy. If you want to attack Peixian, you have to conquer Yutai first. ”

The county seat of Yutai in the Ming Dynasty was much more southwest, unlike a few hundred years later.

Duoduo said: "It is easier to attack Yutai than to attack Nanyang Town. If there is no water army, don't want to defeat Nanyang Town for a hundred years. ”

Geng Zhongming has not spoken, he followed Duoduo on the expedition, and he will not steal the limelight from Duoduo.

The Eight Banners Army that came to Shandong this time was dominated by Duoduo's inlaid white flags.

After Dolgon became the regent, he felt that his power was weak, and it happened that Duoduo committed a crime and robbed Fan Wencheng's wife. Therefore, he took the opportunity to confiscate 15 of Duoduo's bulls, and reversed his own white flag with Duoduo's positive white flag.

Thus, Duoduo became the owner of the white flag, and Azig became the owner of the small flag with the white flag.

Now, Duoduo is leading a group of generals to face Fei Ruhe head-on. Azig led a group of generals to fight against Zhang Tieniu and Huang Fei in Qingzhou Mansion.

Under Duoduo's command, there were about 9,000 people in the Eight Banners of Manchuria, the Eight Banners of the Han Army, and the Eight Banners of Mongolia, which was less than Fei Ruhe's 10,000 regular troops. But there are still a bunch of generals who have surrendered troops, adding up to more than 60,000, and Tang Tong is also in the Duoduo army.

Azig, who fought against Zhang Tieniu, plus the surrender of troops and generals, also had more than 50,000 people.

……

Jinxiang.

Yan Yingyuan, the commander-in-chief of Jiangyin 81 days, is now the classic history of Jinxiang County.

He was originally a son of the gentry of Tongzhou, and seeing that the situation was not right, he took his whole family south to take refuge before Li Zicheng attacked Beijing. When he traveled to Shandong, he was intercepted by Bing Ge, and finally he could only go to Jinxiang to join his friends.

Some time ago, the plague of Jinxiang Classic History died, and Yan Yingyuan was unanimously elected as a classic history by the neighborhood gentry because of his effective prevention and control of the plague.

How to prevent the plague?

It is to imitate the method from the south, and anyone who goes out must wear a boiled mask. Yan Yingyuan hadn't done a history yet, so he was in the place where he lived, and he and his friends strictly checked the nearby streets, and when they saw people who didn't wear masks, they immediately beat them.

After making a canonical history, Yan Yingyuan promoted this method to the whole city.

And because of his good control, the soap officials did not dare to take the opportunity to extort the people, and the county seat of Jinxiang was governed by him in an orderly manner, at least the spread of the plague was quickly contained.

"Brother Yan, when will you start?" Dong Yongqing asked.

Yan Yingyuan said: "It's today! ”

Xu Ying sprinkled a lot of fine work in Shandong, with an average of three per county.

Of the three fine works in Jinxiang County, two of them died of the plague, and only Dong Yongqing was left alone.

The method of wearing a mask to prevent the plague was passed on to Jinxiang by Dong Yongqing.

Dong Yongqing said: "The gentry and merchants in the city, after the Datong army appeared outside the city, there were thirteen families who were willing to start up. The men of the city, counting the children, there were twenty-seven who were willing to cause trouble. ”

Yan Yingyuan said: "Enough, the county magistrate, I have eight henchmen." ”

Their enemy is Lu Guangzu, who has more than 3,000 soldiers!

In the afternoon of the same day, Yan Yingyuan organized the soap officials and went to the city tower with food to comfort the guards.

Lu Guangzu is a native of Liaodong, and his hometown is in Haizhou, which was captured by Hu Dinggui. He had a deep hatred with the Tartars, but in history, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was lowered, and the hatred of his relatives was completely abandoned.

At this moment, Lu Guangzu stood on the city tower, looking at the Datong cavalry who had just left.

The 2,500 cavalry under Fei Ruhe's command were all scattered to the Jinxiang side, and along the river to find out whether the Qing army wanted to cross the river. Even in the river, there were many Datong army sentinel boats, at least more than ten miles close to the Grand Canal, and the Qing army never dreamed of coming from the other side of the river.

Zuo Liangyu's number one henchman was next to Bei Zhili, and he was afraid of being beaten, so he surrendered.

Lu Guangzu, as the second henchman, was stationed not far from Xuzhou, so he wanted to surrender to the Datong army.

However, Lu Guangzu had fought many battles with the Manchus, and there was a deep fear in his heart. He had never fought with the Datong army, and he was always unsure which side would win, in case he surrendered to the Datong army, but was taken over by the Manchus?

Moreover, in Shandong at this time, the Manchu Qing forces were superior, and he didn't want to take risks so early.

Wait, wait, wait.

When the Datong army wins a battle, he will immediately surrender!

Many generals under Zuo Liangyu's command have the same idea. Once the Manchus suffered defeat, they would instantly turn against a large area.

"General, Yan Dian Shilaojun is here."

Lu Guangzu didn't think much about it, only said: "Let him come up, just come up alone." ”

It's not that he doubts Yan Yingyuan, but he is afraid that many people will be infected with the plague.

Yan Yingyuan climbed the tower alone, and as for the food he brought, he handed it over to Lu Guangzu's personal soldiers.

Lu Guangzu looked back and saw Yan Yingyuan carrying a bow and a knife, and couldn't help laughing: "Did the history come to defend the city?" ”

Yan Yingyuan also smiled and said, "I was about to help the general defend the city." ”

Lu Guangzu had a good impression of Yan Yingyuan, mainly because of the prevention and control of the plague. At that time, many gentry wrote letters recommending Yan Yingyuan as a canonical history, which Lu Guangzu also promised to conquer.

"Have you practiced bows and arrows?" Lu Guangzu asked.

Yan Yingyuan said: "If you can pull a stone bow, will the general be taught?" ”

Lu Guangzu smiled: "Let's shoot outside the city to see how far you can shoot." If you can shoot from a distance, I will promote you to be a general. ”

"It's a deal!"

Yan Yingyuan originally planned to kill again when he got closer, but at this time, he could shoot with a bow and arrow.

He pretended to be struggling, gritted his teeth and pulled the bowstring hard. When the bow is opened until it is seven points full, it suddenly turns around, and there is no need to aim at all, only to find the target position from memory.

Sou!

An arrow shot out and hit Lu Guangzu's throat.

Lu Guangzu's eyes were round, and he had an unwilling expression. He was ready to join the Datong Army at any time, why was he killed in a daze?

Lu Guangzu had four personal soldiers around him, two of them were stunned on the spot, one retreated in horror, and the other drew his sword and advanced.

Yan Yingyuan threw away his bow and arrows, drew his knife and pounced, and hacked the soldier to death with one sword.

Then there was another knife, hacking to death the pro-soldiers who were still stunned. The third soldier was so frightened that he turned around and wanted to flee, but was chased and slashed by Yan Yingyuan.

"Spare your life, a good man!"

The fourth soldier knelt on the ground and kowtowed, trembling all over.

Yan Yingyuan said: "The Datong army is not far from the city, do you want to be a slave to the Tartars?" If you're still a man, kill the Tartars with me! ”

The soldier said, "I wish ...... Yes, I also fled from Liaodong. ”

"Stand up!" Yan Yingyuan shouted.

The soldiers stood up when they heard the sound, but they didn't dare to stand next to Yan Yingyuan, because the soldiers nearby had already discovered the situation and came around.

Yan Yingyuan stood there alone, and said to the hundreds of soldiers with a smile: "Zuo Liangyu took refuge in the Tartars, and he was the king to enjoy the wealth. What are you taking refuge in the Tartars? In order to marry children in the future, should they be sent to the Tartar official cave room? Or do you think that little braid looks good, and you will be a girl with braids in the future? ”

Although these soldiers surrounded Yan Yingyuan, no one did anything, because Yan Yingyuan said that they were in their hearts.

Xizuo had already posted big-character posters in the city, and the content was half-true and half-false. After the scholars read it, they believed it all, so it spread more and more widely, so that the whole city knew that the girl had to be given to the Tartar official for the night before she got married.

The soldiers also heard about it and were very resistant to it.

Yan Yingyuan said: "The cavalry of the Datong Army arrived in Jinxiang three days ago. The foot soldiers of the Datong army will also be killed in two days. Zhao Tianwang swept through the southern provinces, can you really stop Zhao Tianwang's heavenly soldiers and generals? Whoever has an egg will follow me and take the city! ”

The soldiers looked at each other, they were really afraid that the Datong army would kill.

Yan Yingyuan stopped talking, raised his knife and walked forward, and these soldiers got out of the way.

When he reached the edge of the city wall, Yan Yingyuan waved towards the city.

Not long after, Dong Yongqing brought the scholars, merchants and gentry, as well as their house slaves, to receive the city wall with sticks.

The soldiers of the city wall elsewhere also came one after another, Yan Yingyuan cut off Lu Guangzu's head, held it high in his hand and shouted: "Lu Guangzu is dead, the soldiers of Datong will come tomorrow, if you don't want to die, take the city with me!" ”

"Kill the Tartars!" A soldier from Liaodong shouted.

Lu Guangzu is a native of Liaodong, he likes to use his fellow villagers, and when he sees Liaodong fleeing, he accepts him as a soldier.

These Liaodong soldiers were the first to respond to Yan Yingyuan, they really didn't want to take refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, after all, they all had a deep hatred of blood.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of people have followed.

Someone even reminded: "Lu Guangzu's clan brother is guarding the northern city, and this person must be killed!" ”

Yan Yingyuan held his knife and shouted: "Kill me with me!" ”
