Frankly.

Facing Su Yan's inquiry, Chen Shenggui was a little hesitant at that moment.

Now there are two paths in front of him to choose, one of which is to pretend to agree, after entering the city, he will defend the city and block the attack of these rebels, as long as he can hold the county seat, and when the imperial court reinforcements come, his previous guilt can be absolved.

The second way is to follow the young commander of the rebel army in front of him, one way to the black, although the number of this group of rebels is not large, but their firearms are sharp, and they also have many war horses, and when they develop, they will definitely be able to break out of the dense mountainous Fujian.

Chen Shenggui only hesitated for a moment before making a decision.

He bowed his head again, hugged his fists and said: "The general trusts the villain so much, how dare the villain live up to the general's trust, the villain has betrayed the Ming court, which has humiliated the ancestors, and now he has abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and he will take this opportunity to reimburse the court and make up for his past mistakes!" ”

"Good!"

Su Yan listened to his sincere words, his face was happy, and he helped him up with his own hands, and said: "How can my Han family let the barbarians take away the world, you have such an idea, I am very relieved, you order two hundred people to go, take the city gate and raise the torch as a signal, and the army will enter the city immediately!" ”

"Yes!"

Chen Shenggui promised, but when he set off, he realized that his hesitation at that time was completely unnecessary.

Because half of the two hundred people who entered the city with him were soldiers of Su Yan's lineage, they changed into the clothes of the soldiers, and formed this team together with the other hundred or so people who were scattered, raised the banner of the Qing army, and drove to the county seat.

With those more than 100 soldiers of Su Yan's lineage, it is impossible for Chen Shenggui to choose the first path even if he wants to, as long as he dares to show the slightest sign of rebellion, the soldiers walking behind him will cut off his dog's head!

Chen Shenggui's team did not hide their whereabouts, and the Qing army battle flag they held high was soon discovered by the defenders on the city wall and reported to the general on duty.

Perhaps still immersed in the good news of last year's defeat of Lin Rei, the defenders did not think that Lin Reyi could turn defeat into victory this time, so when they saw the army holding the banner of the Qing army approaching, instead of raising their vigilance, they also opened the city gate and walked outside the city gate to prepare to meet them.

Until Chen Shenggui's army arrived at the bottom of the city wall, the leader did not notice anything wrong, he looked at the army, did not find Wang Manhan's figure, but recognized Chen Shenggui, and asked loudly: "Why didn't General Wang come back?" ”

Chen Shengguiqiang smiled and replied: "General Wang broke the forest rebellion in Longchuan Village, and ordered me to come back first to report the victory, the army is still behind, and enter the city later." ”

"Congratulations."

The general manager also showed joy, while reporting the good news, just when he walked in front of Chen Shenggui, Chen Shenggui suddenly pulled out his waist knife, stabbed the general in the abdomen, and shouted loudly: "Seize the door!" Kill! ”

As soon as his words fell, the two hundred soldiers behind him also raised their weapons and rushed to the city gate with murderous violence, and the defenders at the city gate were stunned by the sudden attack, and when they reacted, the enemy had already killed in front of them, and easily took the city gate as easily as chopping melons and vegetables.

"Leave a few people to light the torches and respond to the army, and the rest will follow me to kill the county government!"

Chen Shenggui wiped a handful of blood from his face, shouted loudly, and took the lead in the direction of the county government.

The civilians near the gates saw this and fled in all directions, burrowing into their homes, closing the doors and allowing the soldiers to pass through the streets in front of them.

Outside Daqi Mountain, Su Yan saw the torches lit at the city gate, and immediately shouted: "Attack, occupy the county seat!" ”

"Kill!"

The army on Daqi Mountain immediately slaughtered into the county seat, and Wang Bang, the magistrate who was hiding in the county office, heard the shouts of killing that sounded everywhere in the county seat, and his face was immediately bloodless, and he was in a mess with the officials.

Just when he wanted to find a horse to escape from here, a man covered in blood suddenly broke in and blocked his way, a weak scholar in Wang Bang was so shocked that he hurriedly took a few steps back, and then looked at it, it was actually Zhang Xun, the president of Qian, who stayed in the city.

At this time, Zhang Xun had a hideous wound on his left arm, weak and sagging, blood continued to drip down, he ignored the injured hand, but said to Wang Bang: "Lord Wang, the outside has been surrounded by the Ming army, and the Chen Shenggui betrayed the Qing Dynasty!" ”

"What?" Wang Bang also knew that Chen Shenggui was a personal soldier beside Wang Manhan, his face turned even paler, and he exclaimed: "Even Chen Shenggui has rebelled, what about General Wang?" ”

Without waiting for Zhang Xun to answer, there was a shout of killing outside, and several green battalion soldiers who were blocking the outside were finally repulsed, and retreated to the yamen in a panic.

"Surrender or kill!" He shouted loudly, and then slashed down a servant who had not had time to put down his weapon, and the rest of the people saw this, and hurriedly threw the weapon in their hands on the ground, and at the same time knelt on the ground, and said in unison: "Surrender!" Surrender! ”

Zhang Xun wanted to resist again, but he was dumbfounded when he saw that the high-ranking county lord actually knelt down with him.

Immediately, he no longer hesitated, knelt down, and surrendered to Chen Shenggui.

On the other side, after Su Yan led the army into the county seat, he ordered his descendants to restrain the soldiers of the Green Battalion who surrendered, and prohibited all acts of rape and plunder.

Su Yan, who captured the county seat, did not summon the surrendered Zhixian Wang Bang at the first time, he took over the Zhixian Yamen under the escort of the general's guards, and checked the system prompt after occupying the city.

[You have captured the first city, please decide the fate of the people in the city:

Peaceful occupation, plunder, and massacre]

"Peaceful occupation." Su Yan didn't think about it, so he chose the first one.

[You have occupied a city and started the functions of city construction and army recruitment!] 】

[You have captured a city, and you will be rewarded with support!] 】

[You get auxiliary rewards: 5,000 taels of silver, one civilian official, and one small arms arsenal]

"The assistant rewards are too rich!" Rao is Su Yan was taken aback, whether it was a civilian official or a light weapons arsenal, it was what he needed at the moment.

Civilian officials can assist him in dealing with the accumulated government affairs, and the light weapons arsenal, which can produce guns and repair weapons damaged in battle, can be said to be the most important thing for Dehua County, which has a completely zero industrial base.
