Chapter 65 Trends in Fuzhou

"Damn it!"

Bang!

A book was thrown to the ground vigorously, and Chen Jin, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, looked at the herald who was kneeling on the ground, held back the anger in his chest, and raised his hand and said, "This official knows, you go down first." ”

After speaking, the herald soldier hurriedly got up and retreated to leave the room, and after the man left, Chen Jin sat on the seat and said, "Come on, please come over, Lord Zhang, the land commander." ”

"Huh."

The minions outside the door answered, and then left in a hurry.

The city of Quanzhou was besieged on 19 October, but it was only on 24 October that he learned about it from a herald sent by the Qing soldiers of Xinghua Prefecture who had heard the sound of artillery in the direction of Quanzhou and had sent people to investigate the news.

"Damn thief, he is so arrogant, directly besieging the city, if I don't send troops to rescue, I don't know how the ministers in the court will be impeached."

"Also, what do the Quanzhou counselors do to eat, they didn't send anyone to report such a big event, and they had to wait for the people from Xinghua Mansion to report to me, it's too unusual!"

This is Chen Jin's mistake to blame Li Qi, Li Qi did not send someone to report, but the people sent out had just left the city of Quanzhou not long ago, and were caught up by the righteous cavalry wandering outside and killed on the spot, so there was no news from Fuzhou, and Li Qi also saw that there had been no movement in the direction of Fuzhou, so he learned to be obedient, and sent a number of heralds in the breakthrough tomorrow, that is, on the 25th, hoping to have a horse to arrive smoothly.

It didn't take long for the servant to lead a man striding in, and as soon as he entered, the man clenched his fists and said, "Your Excellency Zhang Yingmeng, please meet the Governor." ”

"Lord Zhang, please get up." Chen Jin raised his hand and said, "Please take a seat." ”

Zhang Yingmeng didn't shirk it, sat on the chair next to him, and said, "Your Excellency the Governor summoned the officials to come this time, but it's because of the traitors in Quanzhou?" ”

"Exactly." Chen Jin nodded and said: "Just now, Xinghua Mansion sent someone to report that the Dehua rebel army rebelled against the siege of Quanzhou Mansion on October 19, and the sound of artillery shook the sky for several days, and the surrounding people were bewitched and responded to the thieves, with thousands of followers, and the momentum was huge. ”

"Then where did Su Wei get the cannon?" Zhang Yingmeng wondered.

"I don't know." Chen Jin shook his head, his face was also puzzled, but then he continued: "No matter where Su Wei got the cannon, Quanzhou is in danger now, and this official can't personally name the south, Lord Zhang, you will point the three battalions of the middle, left, and right of the standard to go out, and lead the Xinghua Mansion to the left and right to relieve the siege of Quanzhou!" ”

Zhang Yingmeng hurriedly got up, walked to the middle, knelt on the ground and hugged his fists and said, "The lower official will receive the order." ”

……

Although reinforcements from the direction of Fuzhou were sent, they could not quench the thirst of the near water, and it was not until the second day that Zhang Yingmeng, the land governor of Fujian, led the army to leave Fuzhou City, and at the same time just after Fuqing County, Li Qi also retreated to Quanzhou City in embarrassment.

He ordered to count the number of people lost, but this breakthrough alone lost more than 200 people, and he was immediately angry, but then he thought about it, he had taken the opportunity to send the heralds out, as long as one of those heralds successfully arrived in Fuzhou Mansion, Quanzhou would be safe.

He didn't expect the Qing army stationed in Xinghua Mansion to be stationed in Xinghua Mansion and the two associations, with the current momentum of the thieves outside the city, the two thousand Qing soldiers in Xinghua Mansion came to deliver food to the thieves - even the 7,000 army led by the governor of Fujian could be wiped out by the thieves, and the two thousand people may wait for the battle to be over, and the thieves not only did not lose much, but added another 1,000 people.

Don't ask, if you ask, it's the army that has been recruited!

Therefore, he can only put his hope on the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, hoping that the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang can mobilize heavy troops to go south and annihilate all the thieves outside the city of Quanzhou, once and for all, and never suffer in the future!

The breakthrough failed, and the morale of the Qing soldiers who participated in the breakthrough finally dropped again, and Li Qi was not ready to go out of the city to break through again, he returned the thousand people to the garrison of Chaotianmen, and rode his horse to Yichengmen to supervise the battle.

Even if Li Liancheng's department was transferred to Yichengmen, Li Qi was still a little relieved about him, this reassurance mainly came from the relationship between Chen Shitai and Li Liancheng, he was not ready to attack Li Liancheng, and at present, the enemy was now, and if he did it to Li Liancheng without conclusive evidence, it would only lead to chaos in the city.

Therefore, he decided to supervise the battle in Yichengmen and personally monitor Li Liancheng, and he didn't believe that Li Liancheng could collude with thieves under his nose.

It turns out that Li Qi was wrong, he was very wrong.

On the 25th, except for Li Qi's leading army to break through the siege and be defeated and returned, there was no further fighting, and the two sides remained peaceful until night, when the rebel army outside the city finally had a move.

The night was getting dark, and the rebels of the other three gates only left a small number of soldiers to guard the camp, so they took advantage of the night to leave the camp, bypassed the Quanzhou capital city, and drove to Yichengmen in the dark, because most of the people in this era had night blindness, and the commanders of the battalions were also aware of this, in order to prevent anyone from getting lost in the night, they strung everyone together with ropes, and the person who could see clearly led the way in front.

At the same time, in order to prevent anyone from sending out a message on the way, everyone should bite a branch or something else in their mouth, and they should not make a sound.

Time flew by, and just after the ugly hour, Su Yan got up and left the big tent and ordered the whole battalion to be assembled.

At his command, the soldiers in the tent were all woken up by their robes, hurriedly put on their armor, and gathered in the open space of the camp.

In order to prevent the news from leaking, the night attack was not known to the low-level soldiers, and those who came to join the army were also required to stay in the camp and not move around without permission, and violators were executed on the spot, and Su Yan also encouraged them to report each other, if anyone behaved abnormally

Dear, this chapter is not finished, and there is a next page oh ^0^ and is reported to be true, and the silver tael will be rewarded.

Although the people did not know why, under the threat and temptation of Blade and Yinliang, they still obediently hid in the tent, and stared at each other's people, and if anyone behaved abnormally, they would shout to attract the soldiers outside.

Yin time.

The troops who came from the other three gates also arrived at the siege camp outside the Yicheng Gate under the leadership of the commanders of each battalion and joined Su Yan, and then they counted the soldiers under their command, thanks to the string of ropes, and no one in the whole army was left behind.

After all of them arrived, Su Yan called several battalion commanders over and gathered around him.

He looked at the direction of the dark Quanzhou City and said, "I have written all the specific things in the military newspaper, and you have all read them, so I won't say much." After entering the city, in order to prevent the Qing soldiers from setting a trap, the vanguard must take the city gate as soon as possible. ”

After speaking, his gaze swept between several people, and said, "And Liang, your rattan battalion will take the lead." ”

"Subordinates take orders!" Lin Xingzhu did not hesitate at all, and said with his fists in response.

Dear, this chapter is over, happy reading! ^0^
