The next afternoon, at the threshing farm outside Beilei Village, southwest of Fotang Town, Yiwu County, some of the children of the Beilei Chen family who are more prestigious in the hometown have already arrived, waiting for the results of the discussion.

Not only that, after a day of contact, the Yang family of the Qingchou, as well as the Tianxin Wang family, Dong Zhu Ding family and Chian Feng family, who came by, also sent people in charge of the clan, even the Zhang family of Longpi was no exception. They were in the ancestral hall in the village, preparing to gather together to participate in the grand ceremony, but the only difference was that the Jin family of Qingcun, which had been very interested in it, had not arrived yet.

Logically speaking, Qingcun was between Beilei, Chian and Dongzhu. There was no reason why the Jin family did not send anyone while the Ding family and the Feng family arrived. But if you think deeper, there was a rumor in the countryside that a child of the Jin family was doing things in the curtain of Shang Kexi's traitor. If this was the case, the Jin family's position might seem ambiguous.

No matter what, Ma Jinbao has been forced too much over the years, especially the family behind the Qi family members, who have been intensified to cause trouble, and each family has long hated it. Since this time, it is a rebuilt Qi family army or a Ming army with a relatively famous reputation in several nearby prefectures and counties, everyone should have planned to go out and do something big as they did when they followed Qi Shaobao.

This time, it would be fine if the Jin family still cared about the affection of the villagers. Even if they were so crazy that they reported the news to the Tartars, it would be useless. With the county and prefecture towns that were difficult to protect themselves, as long as they had the support of this Ming army, they would never be afraid of the beast named Ma!

Representatives from each family were still discussing in the village, while the children of each family who accompanied him gathered in the threshing farm and spoke freely, especially the children who were closer to the Chen family and the Yang family and the people who came back to report the news, and there were layers of young people around them, hoping to learn from them the details of the Ming army that had just captured Dongyang County.

At this moment, a man walked towards the village, and when everyone looked closely, it was Chen Lan who was guarding the ancestral hall.

"Brother Chen Qi, can the elders of each family agree on it?" Seeing Chen Lanxing coming, everyone surrounded him to inquire about the results inside.

But at this moment, Chen Lan shook her head and then asked, "No, haven't the Jin family come yet?"

Seeing that most of the people shook their heads and some people even spoke some resentful words, Chen Lan had to sigh. His recruited wife was the daughter of the Jin family. When he was young, his father had a very good relationship with his prospective father-in-law, and he and his recruited wife were childhood sweethearts. If they had a big fuss about this big incident, I am afraid that neither of the two families would look good.

"Brother Seven, should you send someone to watch? If the Jin family goes to report the message to the Tartars, it will not be a good thing for everyone."

"Brother Jiu is right, so that's right."

"Brother Chen said it makes sense, and you always know that you know yourself and your enemy."

“…”

Seeing everyone expressing their agreement, Chen Lan felt quite anxious. Not only because of the relationship between the two families, these children of each family are young people who speak and do things but do things. With such aroused under the blood, if something bad happens, it will ruin a big deal.

But before he could make a rebuttal and explanation, an old but full of energy came from the other side of the threshing ground.

"I'm worried about it. The young man is old and has walked slowly. I'm late this time and I hope all the heroes will take care of him."

Hearing this, everyone turned their heads, but what they saw was the old patriarch of the Jin family, the famous elderly man near the Buddhist temple town, which was also the old grandfather of Jin Fu and a group of indignant Jin family children.

Seeing that the elder who was several times older than them came, these men were ashamed of being ashamed of being ashamed of it. However, the old patriarch of the Jin family was definitely not trying to make things difficult for these younger generations. He had something to do here and was about to explain everything he had planned before the elders of each family finished their discussion.

"Xiao Qi, the elders of each family are still in the village, right?"

When Chen Lan heard the question from the old patriarch of the Jin family, he immediately bowed. "Elders from all families are waiting for you to grow old."

"lead the way."

Seeing the old patriarch of the Jin family, with the help of two Jin family children, Chen Lan, who led the way, enter the village, after a moment of silence, the children of each family soon remembered to continue to inquire about the Ming army. Even the children who stayed in the threshing farm of the Jin family were pulled in by people who knew each other, and listened happily to these things that had not been seen with their own eyes, but were heard from hearsays.

After Li Zhifang announced the martial law order in the name of the government office, Jinhua City closed almost all the gates, leaving only a hawker on the west side for woodcutting and selling vegetables to the city. Others could not enter and exit the city without Li Zhifang's handwritten orders.

However, in the past few hours, the Zhou family, who originally lived in the city, had already quietly left the city before the martial law was issued, leaving only a few tribe members who continued to hold the scene in the city. Some elders, men, women, children and some servants in the family took a car to return to the old house located in the countryside.

Youdao means that small chaos enters the city and big chaos go to the countryside. The scale of the turmoil is small, and the city is protected by the city walls, and small chaos will not cause trouble in the city, so entering the city is the best choice; but in the event of a great chaos, the city is the best goal for the development of the turmoil, and because of the presence of a prefecture and county town, it will be much safer to have such a mockery face.

The choice of the Zhou family was the inevitable reaction of many people living in troubled times. However, the Ming army defeated the Qing army too quickly this time, and the time between the news that Li Zhifang announced the martial law was very short, so most of the wealthy families with houses in the countryside were locked up in the city before they could leave the city.

But under such circumstances, the Zhou family began lobbying within the family as early as the news of the defeat of the defenders in Dongyang County. It was not until the news of the defeat of the Qing army and retreating to the county was heard that they decided to leave the city. In the end, Qiangqiang completed the transfer work before the martial law order was issued.

It was the third day of September. The Zhou family and his in-laws had already arrived at the Zhou family's house in the countryside. The servants who accompanied him and the old family who were staying here were rushing to move their belongings, while the Zhou family's younger sister and his sister-in-law were playing the girl in the room while chatting indiscriminately.

"Thanks to my little sister, if I heard those uncles, I would have been trapped in the city at this moment."

Hearing this, the youngest daughter of the Zhou family just smiled faintly. She knew very well that the new sister-in-law was not so grateful for her previous suggestions, but rather that this early action of leaving the city won a lot of face in front of her family members who were traveling with her.

"It's still a blessing that my brother managed to convince my uncle, otherwise how could those brothers listen to the ignorant words of a woman-like person?"

The elder brother mentioned by the little sister of the Zhou family is her relative's elder brother, and the husband of the new sister-in-law. But when the Zhou family's praise of her husband, the young woman who had just become a wife for only half a year could not help but feel sad.

The Zhou family was not a local person from Jinhua Prefecture, but a family moved from Shaoxing during the Jiajing period to avoid Japanese turmoil. Although this family has been moving for nearly a hundred years, its population has not been prosperous, especially among the two houses of our family, there are only a few children, which is far less prosperous than many wealthy families in this era.

This time, the eldest brother of the Zhou family volunteered to stay with the old housekeeper in the family to persuade her uncle who had always sacrificed his life and money.

But the news just came, the official Li Tui of Jinhua Mansion, who had a pretty good official voice, claimed in the notice that the Ming army slaughtered in Dongyang County under the name of different clothes and hats from the Ming army, and tortured the gentry and the people, just like Huang Chao and Li Chuang resurrected. When he heard this news, the little woman almost fainted from fear. As the wife's wife, she wanted to stay in the city with her husband. If she had not been sent out by her husband with her husband, how could she have left her husband in the city and escaped alone?

"Little sister." Even though there were only two of them in the room, the little woman could not help but approach the little sister of the Zhou family and whispered the hidden worries in her heart. "Do you think Li Tui Guan and his team can defend this city with such a few people?"

"Sister-in-law, no matter whether you can defend it or not, your brother is full of fame and fortune. The Ming army will not make things difficult for him even if he enters the city." Speaking of this, seeing her sister-in-law shed a trace of worry, the little sister of the Zhou family looked back at the direction of the city, but her heart was filled with the things she had always worried about when she proposed to her father and brother that she had always been out of the city for refuge.

"Whether it is Li Zhifang or Ma Jinbao, it is impossible to be an opponent in the face of such a powerful force. What I am worried about is whether this Ming army can repel the counterattacks of the Qing army in Zhejiang that came with Ma Jinbao, or even the counterattacks of the Eight Banners in Hangzhou..."

"If you win, everything will be fine; but if the Ming army general Chen cannot win, if he suffers such a big loss, Ma Jinbao will definitely be more aggressive in knocking his bones and sucking marrow and poisoning the people. By then, what this family will have to pay will be more than just land and wealth."

……………………

On the seventh day of the ninth month of the fifth year of Yongli, in Ruquan Pavilion in front of the left side of the Dongyang County government, representatives of major ethnic groups and people from Dongyang County gathered together to report to Chen Wen, the general of the general of the expedition to support military affairs, and Sun Yu, the prefect of Jinhua, who was responsible for presiding over the government affairs, they were inquiring about the situation in various places in Dongyang County where they came.

In fact, they donated a lot of materials to the county government over the past few days, including grain, forage, cloth, silver and even wood and stone have been sent to the warehouse.

At the same time, while Nantangying was stationed in the county, it always maintained its tradition since its establishment and did not violate the people. However, even so, Chen Wen still sent a politician to patrol the crowd to prevent possible problems in corners that he did not notice.

Such strict military discipline has really opened the horizons of the people of Dongyang County. So many days later, the people of Dongyang County will always rushed to the military camp to work, and a large number of people will come to join the army, demanding to join the Ming army with strict military disciplines and fight under Chen Wen's command, so as to contribute to the royal army's restoration of Jinhua Prefecture.

Chen Wen was naturally very happy to join the army. After thoroughly selecting according to the standards in "Ji Xiao New Book", more than 2,000 new recruits were soon added to the barracks. After the first round of brainwashing of the camp, Lou Jiye was responsible for the team training, while Chen Wen was busy continuing to collude with those families with relatively high influence to obtain more first-hand information.

As soon as I got the news, the Green Camp soldiers who were responsible for surrounding the rebel army of Zhou Qingui in Luochengyan had withdrawn from the two towns of Dapan and Fangqian, and got rid of the surveillance of the Qing army. The regiments gathered from the surrounding towns began to follow the orders of the Ming army under the guidance of the squire.

Chen Wen knew very well that the Qing army in Jinhua Prefecture had suffered these one after another and one after another. Although many Qing troops still fled back, the broken Qing army was actually far from its previous combat effectiveness.

The Qing army gave up the siege of Luo Chengyan. On the surface, it was willing to release Zhou Qingui's rebel army that once traversed Jinhua Prefecture and forced the troops to shrink its strength; but in fact, it was with the mentality of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, and used this rebel army that was not within the Ming army system to restrain Chen Wen of the Ming army in the Lu State Supervisory State system.

According to Chen Wen's familiarity with Sun Yu, Wu Dengke and Yin Yue, Zhou Qingui's personality is unlikely to force him to give up command of the rebel army with only a few hundred people left and start with a subordinate general of Chen Wen, but if he separates a place to resettle them, Chen Wen is not relieved.

In this case, this rebel army cannot be released at the moment, because once it is released, it will be in chaos if it is not done well. Once something happens in the rear, it will be difficult for the military operations that are ready to continue. But if we cannot occupy a larger territory and recruit more soldiers before Ma Jinbao returns to the army, then in the situation of internal and external difficulties, it will be completely difficult.

Chen Wen could not afford such a chain reaction!

Seeing this, while he was cursing about his skills, Chen Wen had to send an officer to Fangqian Town to supervise the regiment training and continued to surround Luo Chengyan. At the same time, he sent someone to give Zhou Qingui some gifts, but with the idea of ​​how long it could be delayed, he was ready to accelerate the offensive plan for other counties.

At this moment, Zhang Jun, who had returned to Chen Wen as a personal soldier, walked in and leaned into Chen Wen's ear and said a few words. After hearing this, Chen Wen quickly sued him, left Ruquan Pavilion with Zhang Jun, and entered an ear room at the side door of the county government.

Holding the secret letter delivered in his hand, he looked up at the person's appearance, and a smile appeared on the corner of Chen Wen's mouth couldn't help but curl up.

"When time comes, the world and the world all have the same force, and the ancients really did not deceive me!"
