The death of Tian Wenyong and a group of elite soldiers made Zhu Yicheng feel heartbroken. If Li Juaner had not asked Dong Dashan to arrive in time, the consequences would be unimaginable.

After the war, Zhu Yicheng reflected on this and there were several main mistakes in this battle.

The first is that the information is inaccurate. Zhu Yicheng thought that he had laid his eyes in Tonglu County and controlled the Chenjia Town. Every move of the government was under his nose. But in fact, Zhu Yicheng overestimated himself and underestimated Chen Tianan. Without supporting evidence, he regarded the bait thrown by Chen Tianan as real information and made a reckless decision.

Second, in the battle to ambush Chen Tianan, Zhu Yicheng did not send a large number of spies to thoroughly understand the other party's movements, and he thought he was self-righteous in order to attack, which led to a slump in this battle.

Third, as soon as the war began, the rebels had no overall plan, nor did they leave any backup plan, including the reserve team. Instead, they rushed forward and pursued them desperately, and the entire army was eventually trapped.

These three points are the main mistakes Zhu Yicheng made in this battle, and there are other minor mistakes. If it weren't for his previous training, and with the words of Tian Wenyong and others to guard the desperately, they might have been defeated and killed before Dong Dashan came.

It can be said that the extremely lucky victory in this battle was also the luck that made Tonglu County defend completely, and the surprise attack on Tonglu was successful after the war.

After taking down Tonglu County, Zhu Yicheng recruited troops and his strength increased greatly. Similarly, the death of Tian Wenyong and others caused Zhu Yicheng to lose his confidant and the low-level officers he had finally trained. Behind the great increase in strength, the overall combat effectiveness of the rebel army did not increase.

This is also the main reason why Zhu Yicheng started training after only recruiting some soldiers. According to his training method, it will take at least three months to turn a scattered mob into a qualified soldier. You should know that the soldiers he trained before were originally the elite of the rebel army, and they were all on the battlefield and were all affected by blood. Except for a very small number of the new recruits recruited in Tonglu, most of them are ordinary people. It is not easy for ordinary people to train qualified soldiers.

It is necessary to practice, and it must be done as soon as possible. Time does not wait for anyone. The news of the Tonglu Incident will not be blocked for long, ranging from ten days and half a month to one month. The court will soon react.

You should know that Tonglu is the main grain transport route in the Yangtze River. The military food and equipment accumulated in Tonglu County were allocated and transported by the imperial court from other places to Zhejiang for use by the army encircled and suppressed Yuan Qi. As the grain supervisor, Chen Tianan was mainly responsible for transporting these materials to Hangzhou. Tonglu was not far from Hangzhou. Once the grain route was cut off, Hangzhou would notice it in a few days.

Zhu Yi became a soldier train as soon as possible and used almost all the tricks, such as leading the old to the new, increasing the reward and punishment system, and doing it personally, etc. These mobs were barely forced to look a little, but they were still far from the real soldiers.

Time, what Zhu Yicheng lacks is time, but unfortunately he doesn't have so much time. In addition, he also lacks people. This lack of people is not about ordinary soldiers. He lacks talents who can do things for himself. Whether it is civil officials or military generals, it can be said that Zhu Yicheng now has no one who can use except Dong Dashan, Wang Dong and a few others.

"Are you the magistrate of Tonglu?" Zhu Yicheng asked with a kind look at the middle-aged man who was taken in the hall.

The middle-aged man was Liao Huanzhi, the magistrate of Tonglu. This person was not from a Jinshi, but a Juren. In theory, he could directly become an official, but this was limited to the early Qing Dynasty. As the Qing Dynasty ruled longer and the imperial examination system was on track, the identity of Juren was not so useful after the middle Qing Dynasty. However, it was only the Kangxi period, so it was not uncommon for Liao Huanzhi to become a county magistrate as a Juren.

Liao Huanzhi's official robe had long been stripped off, and now he is just wearing an ordinary prison robe. Maybe he never thought he would wear the prison robe of his county yamen for one day. After being arrested, Liao Huanzhi was imprisoned in the county yamen prison and was not until today to take him to the hall.

In the hall, Zhu Yicheng did not treat Liao Huanzhi harshly. Although he was still wearing torture instruments, he did not let him kneel on the ground, but took a round stool for him to sit.

With his head down, Liao Huanzhi didn't say anything, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Bold! Mr. Hong is not asking questions yet! Be careful of the pain of flesh and blood!" Wang Dong temporarily served as the head of the yamen runners in the hall, and brought a few strong men on both sides. Seeing that Liao Huanzhi was silent, he immediately shouted, and the rest of the people also drank "Magic..." in a low and majestic voice at the same time, "Magic..."

Liao Huanzhi couldn't help but fight a cold war. As the county magistrate, he often sat in the hall to interrogate prisoners. At that time, he was so majestic. He was so powerful that he could beat as much as he wanted. Now that the main and secondary are reversed, he fell to the point of being imprisoned, and he heard the mighty voices. The scene that made the county magistrate shook his mighty power now made him frightened.

"The crime... the crime officer is Liao Huanzhi."

Liao Huanzhi opened his mouth and wanted to be a loyal minister. But when Wang Dong and others looked at the sharp eyes of murder, Liao Huanzhi had already said something but changed temporarily.

Zhu Yicheng's eyes lit up when he heard this answer. It seemed that Liao Huanzhi was not a stone in the pit. Since he could call himself a criminal official, maybe this person had a chance.

"It's too much to say that the magistrate Liao is a magistrate. You are just the master of your own. Besides, we have no grudge against Liao County, and the well water will not violate the river. In addition, if we really discuss it in detail, we will have to thank Liao County for help that day."

Zhu Yicheng said with a smile. These words were particularly sarcastic in Liao Huanzhi's ears, and also made him extremely desperate.

The major case in Chenjia Town that day was caused by Liao Huanzhi to deceive the superiors and hide the subordinates, so he barely fooled it. He had to throw the death of Chen Tianshou and his family to the defeated bandits in Hangzhou. He also reported his merits to the court, saying that Liao Huanzhi was good at commanding and fought bravely to defend Tonglu County, etc.

Originally, this matter was fooled. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be promoted to another place and continue to be his official position. But who would have thought that Chen Tianan had to secretly seized the matter and then disguised himself in Tonglu County to find out the truth, which made Liao Huanzhi caught by Chen Tianan. Under Chen Tianan's threat, he had no choice but to cooperate with him to design the encirclement and suppress Zhu Yicheng.

If Chen Tianan really destroyed Zhu Yicheng and his gang, Liao Huanzhi might have just been dismissed from office. But what was so bad was that Chen Tianan was a bastard, and not only was he defeated, but even brought in the entire Tonglu County. Thinking of this, Liao Huanzhi felt aggrieved and angry, and he would not give up his life. Now, he was in the hands of a thief and everything was over.

Now, Zhu Yicheng specifically pointed out that he had lied about the day, which made Liao Huanzhi even more desperate. He hated that he believed in villains that day, and at the same time he hated that he made such a decision with just a moment of thought. He was already in the hands of the thief and could not tell the difference.

"I...I am actually...I..." I opened my mouth and tried to distinguish one or two, but after talking for a long time, Liao Huanzhi didn't know how to distinguish it. Besides, is this kind of discrimination still useful in the current situation?
