Chapter 191 I Missed After All
Fuzhou.
"Oh, it's the seed of the old master. It's different from ordinary people. At a young age, at the age of fifteen or sixteen, I dared to plot against Zhejiang Province with thousands of salted fish soldiers. With this courage, those guys of mine are not half of them." Wu Mu looked at the letter from Li Jundu and praised loudly.
He Wenrui had read the letter, raised his head from the desk, and asked, "The eldest son asked us to send our main force north to occupy Liangzhe, and find an opportunity to recruit the main force of the green camp in southern Zhejiang. This is not a light job."
Wu Mu has been working with He Wenrui for many years and knows his temper. He said, "It is true to occupy Liangzhe. I will just say that the Green Camp is recruited. What do you and I have? I can compare with the Nanjing court. Don't talk about you and me. Even if the head of state comes, when it comes to recruiting the Green Camp, those Green Camp Qiuba will not follow us."
He Wenrui's face darkened. Although this was unpleasant, it was a fact. In the past, the dynasty changes and urged the people to recruit and revenge were mostly the original officials, and they were promoted to one to three levels. For the Green Camp generals, titles, fiefs and money in southern Zhejiang, who had real power, would be less, but the United States could not give any of them. What about the original officials? Those Qing court officials were war criminals in the United States, and they had to settle the matter. As for the Qiu Ba, if they wanted military power, they would dream of giving them thousands of acres of land overseas and retreated unscrupulously, they would have to burn the incense. Compared with the conditions of the United States and the Nanjing court, those Qiu Bas, except for those who had long been willing to retreat, as long as they wanted to be powerful and prosperous, they had to follow the Nanjing court.
"Then what do you think?" He Wenrui asked.
Wu Mu said readily: "What else can I do? I will lead the main force north first and help the eldest son take down Zhejiang. Damn, Qian Qianyi, the group of dog traitors, will use us to fight in front, they will make a fortune behind and hide it from us. It's really damn. I'll deal with them sooner or later."
"I'm asking, what should I do if those green camps in southern Zhejiang do?" He Wenrui asked, thinking for a while, He Wenrui said, "We got the letter late, and I think these green camps have already received a letter of persuasion from the Nanjing court."
"What else can I do? Either hand over the territory and get out of here, or be wiped out by the Southeast War Zone!" Wu Mu said bluntly.
This is what He Wenrui is most worried about. He quickly grabbed Wu Mu and his voice increased eighth: "You reckless man, don't be fooled. If they become the Ming army and you attack, wouldn't it be a civil war in the Zhongming alliance? I tell you that there is only one person in the world who can do this, and that is the head of state."
Wu Mu looked solemn and said to the tit: "Old He, don't be stupid, you are more than 100,000 elite soldiers! Let me tell you that the Nanjing court does not have these more than 100,000 people. Just by his subordinates, can he be the opponent of the 100,000 elite elites in the southeast? The head of state can destroy the main force of the Qing Dynasty in Qingzhou and attack Beijing City, and I can assist the eldest son to enter Nanjing City.
However, with these hundreds of thousands of people in the Nanjing court, they can not only control Jiangnan, but also prevent a capable army from heading north and entering Shandong, affecting the war situation in Shandong!
I know to tell you that these hundreds of thousands of people decide the situation in the world. I would rather not have this head than provoke the charge of the alliance civil war than to clean them up."
"You have thought about it, this is a death sentence." He Wenrui said coldly.
Wu Mu, who was still serious just now, grinned: "Hehe, that's what I said. If I do it well, the Head of State will not blame me. Besides, it depends on the situation. At least 70% of them are sure to destroy them before taking action. If you are not sure, it will be like stealing chickens and losing my bright future. Isn't that stupid?"
"You know your mind." He Wenrui breathed a sigh of relief.
Wu Mu did not delay in Fuzhou at all and went to the front line overnight. Because he had not received any news in advance and the army had not had time to deploy, he could only take the troops in Funing Prefecture north. There were two army divisions, a mixed brigade and two land combat brigades, with more than 50,000 people, second only to the army deployed in Xianxia Pass.
I originally thought I would be intercepted at Fenshui Pass, but when I arrived at Fenshui Pass, I knew that the Qing army here had already withdrawn from Jinhua, Pingyang, Ruian and Wenzhou City. After asking, I realized that Zhejiang is now in chaos. The Qing army stationed in various parts of Zhejiang received various orders. The Nanjing court sent a title and a letter of appointment. The Hangzhou camp asked all the troops to return to the camp, inspect the troops and armies, and prepare to surrender to the United States.
As a result, no one listened to the orders of everyone, and all the troops gathered in Jinhua, which was a front-line camp with food and grass and some military pay. After the green camp generals had to discuss, they decided what to do. The retreat of the army was robbed along the road, and the situation was chaotic. Not only the army, but also the officials and gentry of Zhejiang had run away. They heard that Hangzhou had been occupied by the Eastern Federation, and thought that the Eastern Federation soldiers of Fujian would come soon, so they simply packed up the gold, silver, and soft and fled, which caused great chaos in order.
The army entered Wenzhou and received the first wave of troops to surrender. It turned out to be Mongolian cavalry. These guys were intercepted by the Green Camp, and joined forces to steal Yueqing County and save their lives. However, there were only more than 3,000 people in total. Only from the Mongolians did they learn about the situation in Zhejiang. Wumu changed his strategy and ordered two land combat brigades to continue northward to occupy Taizhou, Ningbo and Shaoxing, and only occupy the capital city, and ignore the rest. Wumu led the main force to enter Chuzhou.
At the city of Chuzhou, the army finally encountered obstacles. The person who came was wearing the clothes of a green camp of the Qing army, without a flag. I thought that, after all, he could not even find the flag of the Ming Dynasty. When he came to the formation, he shouted loudly: "My Duke Wuxing Pavilion is the Duke of Xingguo appointed by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. He ordered the general of Lishui to guard the Quanfu of Chuzhou. You and other Eastern Band troops stopped and should not enter our Ming Dynasty."
"The Nanjing court is fast, so I will be rewarded so quickly, and a general will be granted the Duke, haha." Wu Mu smiled and teased the officers around him, and also came to the front of the formation, saying, "I am Wu Mu, the highest military commander of the Southeast War Zone of the China League. Are you a Qing army or a Ming army?"
"Of course it's the Ming Dynasty's King!" Wu Xingge said loudly.
Wu Mu pointed to his head: "I have never seen the Duke of Ming Dynasty with the rat-tailed tail of money. Could it be that he lied to me?"
Wu Xingge realized that he forgot to cut his braids, and took a knife and scraped them off, but he was wearing armor. He was unable to move and could not catch them. It was extremely funny. Wu Mu smiled and said, "Forget it, let's cut it off again when you go back. Since you are the King of Ming Dynasty, according to the Sino-Ming Alliance, I am the commander of the Southeast War Zone, and all the troops of Fujian and Zhejiang, as long as they are the troops of China and Ming, they must obey my command!"
"Nonsense, we are under the command of Zhang Cunren, the Governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang!" Wu Xingge replied seriously.
Wu Mu smiled and asked, "What kind of official is Zhang Cunren?"
Wu Xingge clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Zhang is my right censor of the Ming Dynasty, the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the second-rank official position."
"Since you know that you are still stupid here, he is a second-rank official. How can he command you, a super-rank Duke? Not to mention Duke, you can't even command an earl." Umu laughed loudly, and then his face turned cold: "Are you cheating on me? You are the Qing army!"
When Wu Mu said this, everyone around him raised the flintlock rifle. Wu Xingge was shocked and hurriedly said: "I dare not, but the imperial edict does say so."
"Where is the imperial edict, let me see it!" Wu Mu stretched out his hand. He didn't believe that the literati in Nanjing could be so stupid.
Wu Xingge shouted: "This is what I want, it's still in the city."
As he said that, Wuxingge returned from the horse. Wu Mu saw that he was leaving in a mess and said, "No matter what he took back, since he called himself Ming army, he would definitely reorganize him on the spot today!"
A group of generals and schoolmen were all in agreement, but they never thought that Wuxing Pavilion was not stupid at all. They returned to the north gate of the city and fled, and took a group of personal soldiers to Jinhua. The team under them was not enough to follow for more than ten miles, but no one came back. Wu Mu jumped up in anger, but when he knew it, he could no longer catch up. He reorganized the thrown infantry on the spot, confiscated weapons, and let them go to the baggage camp to be a tyrant, and then followed Wuxing Pavilion to Jinhua.
Jinhua City.
Zhang Cunren returned to the door. Standing behind the door, he heard the whispering sound in the yard. It was his personal soldiers discussing it. Before setting off here, his personal soldiers were eager to try, thinking that they could occupy most of Zhejiang, forcing Dongfan to give up the occupied Hangzhou, Jiaxing and other places, and then take charge of Liangzhe. However, the facts proved that everything was delusion. Zhang Cunren witnessed the army of the United States with his own eyes in Chuzhou, but he did not have the courage to leave the city. He only sent a Wuxing Pavilion to deal with it, but he was defeated.
Escape from Chuzhou for two days and one night, Zhang Cunren stayed asleep and was exhausted at this time, but he had to hold on because there were more than 100,000 troops waiting for his command in Jinhua. If he was at a loss, the green camps might turn to Dongfan.
Food, water and clean clothes. When Zhang Cunren stood in front of everyone again, he was already full of strength. In Jinhua Prefecture, he met the generals who had accepted the title of Ming Dynasty. They had just shaved their heads and now they were all bald. Zhang Cunren said: "The island barbarians in the East are strong and fierce. They don't listen to my advice at all. They insist on robbing you of your interests..."
Before Zhang Cunren finished speaking, a general stood up and said, "Governor General, during the period when you went south to Chuzhou, we received news that the Dongfan people had occupied Quzhou Prefecture and were browsing through Jinzhuling and heading towards Chun'an, with at least 20,000 people."
"Why, did the Quzhou garrison not stop them?" Zhang Cunren's face changed.
"For some reason, there was no time." The general seemed impatient to explain.
In fact, the reason was very simple. The Quzhou garrison commander only received the reward of a marquis and wanted to bargain with the Ming court, but he never thought that Zhang Cunren went south, and Li Shan led the main force out of Xianxia Pass and attacked Quzhou. Like Wu Mu, he asked whether the Quzhou garrison was a Qing army or a Ming army. The Ming army accepted the command, and the Qing army immediately attacked. The Quzhou garrison claimed to be the Qing army, but he retreated back to the letter of appointment and title. He could not provide a certificate and was directly attacked by Li Shan's main force, and the army collapsed on the spot.
"Sir, it's not the time to worry about this. The question is, what should we do?" the general asked.
Zhang Cunren was speechless for a moment. After the failure of the Chuzhou test, he originally planned to gather these guys together by slandering the United States. He neither obeyed nor started a war. When the imperial court sent people to mediate, he never thought that Quzhou was lost and the Eastern Ban sent troops to Chun'an. If the Eastern Ban army occupied Chun'an, then these more than 100,000 green camps would be trapped in the Jinqu Basin and become turtles in the jar.
"Now someone must go to Chun'an to block the Eastern Front soldiers and protect the last road between us and Jiangnan." Zhang Cunren said firmly, his eyes swept across everyone, but everyone he saw was lowered, as if afraid that he would be picked. Zhang Cunren stood up and said in a deep voice: "All the nobles, of course this person is me!"
At this time, everyone raised their heads, and Zhang Cunren said: "Although there are many Eastern Frontier soldiers from Xianxia Pass, the leaders are just a side general and a local barbarian. If the official takes action, he will definitely be able to retreat."
After saying that, Zhang Cunren stood up and left, leaving behind a general.
"You said, will Lord Zhang succeed?" someone asked in a low voice.
"It's definitely not possible. Li Shan is indeed a terrifying man, he is indeed a decisive person. Who else can you and I have ever gained benefits from him?" Someone said at the moment.
Someone laughed and said, "I guess Mr. Zhang will not only not succeed, but maybe it is unknown if the barbarian acts arrogantly and kills him."
"What do you think you should do?" someone asked.
Someone in the crowd said, "What should I do? Staying here is a dead end. Anyway, we have an official position and a title, what else do we need? So what if we grab the soldiers in our hands and lose them in Zhejiang? Will the emperor of Nanjing dare to kill us all?"
"Yes, why are we fighting here? They said they wanted Zhejiang but didn't want Jiangnan. Why should we fight for him Zhang Cunren?"
As the horn sounded, the personal soldiers who followed Zhang Cunren from Chuzhou had not yet rested, they had to set out to Yanzhou again. The soldiers rushed to the road overnight and marched for four hours to rest for two hours. The cavalry even followed Zhang Cunren to Chun'an on a night trip. They saw the Ming flag erected in Chun'an County. Zhang Cunren's face showed a long-lost smile.
I entered the city late at night. When it was almost dawn, the sleeping Zhang Cunren was woken up by Jiang Fang. Zhang Cunren did not take off his clothes at all. He turned over and rubbed his face, and said, "Is it the Dongfan people here? Well, whether you can have a place in Liangzhe depends on today."
Zhang Cunren walked out of the room and found that there were hundreds of people standing in the yard, with his own personal soldiers and generals, and seven or eight green camp generals. These people should be in Jinhua. Jiang Fang whispered: "Sir, the day after you left Jinhua, someone occupied the treasury in Jinhua. After this group of people were repelled, several princes said that the treasury was unstable and the east was approaching. In order to protect the food and money, they divided all the food and money in Jinhua and fled to Yanzhou."
This was what Zhang Cunren didn't want to hear the least, but it really penetrated into his ears. Zhang Cunren's face turned pale, his body staggered, fell directly to the ground, and his head hit the threshold, bleeding from the scared soldiers screamed and hugged Zhang Cunren to invite the doctor.
