On October 22, the fifth year of Yongli, the Dianbiao camp entered Jinhua Fucheng, and then the Qing army began to send cavalry to explore and harass him in the direction of Yiwu. Soon, the cavalry of the Qing army gradually passed Xiaoshun Town and invaded Yiting Town, which was occupied by the Ming army.

From Wudian, to Yiting, and then to the Buddhist temple, Bei Lei was the actual control line of the Ming army west of Yiwu County. Moreover, on this line, the Ming army also had a large number of the most stubborn supporters, so it was naturally impossible for the Qing army to step into this harassing place. So, with Chen Wen's order, the Ming army's cavalry immediately set off from Yiwu County and entered the Yiting Town to drive out the Qing army's cavalry.

The cavalry of the Ming and Qing armies observed each other, tempted and fought each other in the area between Xiaoshun Town and Yiting Town, and tried their best to expel the opponents from this area, covering up the military situation for the army that was ready to set off at any time.

In history, after the failure of Zheng Chenggong's Battle in Nanjing, the atrocities such as helping the Qing army to kill good people and sell women, kill people and seize people's wealth in prefectures occupied by the Ming army are examples.

This time, because the local green camp in Jinhua suffered huge losses before and was unable to eliminate the Ming army alone, the senior leaders of the Qing army in Zhejiang gathered a large number of troops to assist in the encirclement and suppression, trying to eliminate the Ming army in one fell swoop.

However, as these foreign troops, which had no connection with local forces, entered Jinhua, the phenomenon of disturbing the people became more and more common, especially as the local Qing army was exhausted. They had just completed the strategy against Zhoushan and were sent to help suppress the suppression before they had completed normal rest. With resentment, these ****s that helped suppress the Qing army were even more prosperous.

For a time, there were atrocities such as helping the Qing army to rob people's women, rob people's wealth, and even killing people and rob people's goods. Even the gentry families and aristocratic families with fame were not spared.

However, the local magistrate did not dare to take care of these bloody cases created by the Qing army, who had already been resentful. Li Zhifang, who was acting as a local general affairs, was unwilling to take care of the threats taken by the Ming army. As for Ma Jinbao, it is as dark as crows in the world. Is it necessary to take care of it?

During this period, Wuyi and Yongkang counties were relatively remote and quiet for the time being. However, the Qing army had already harassed one round since passing by. After the Ming army was destroyed, there was probably another round when Chuzhou Green Camp returned to defense. In this way, only Pujiang in the Bawu area could survive, and it depends on whether Fubiao Camp planned to pass by there.

Originally, Ma Jinbao's actions in Jinhua have been deeply hated by local gentry and people over the years. However, when these foreign troops entered one after another, especially after the Dianbiao camp arrived, the local gentry and people suddenly discovered that Comrade Lao Ma also had a commendable side. At least when Ma Jinbao seized people's wealth, he always marked the price clearly and said how much he wanted. As long as he gave it in a proper manner, it would be fine, but this group of foreign troops were clearly a group of mad dogs that bit people when they saw them.

The deepening of the conflict between soldiers and civilians in the occupied areas of the Qing army made these victims think of Yiwu again. There was also a Ming army entrenched in the two counties of Dongyang. Although they were not optimistic about the future of this Ming army, it would be great if they could use the Ming army's hands to make these perpetrators pay more.

So, he killed people by borrowing a knife. No, it was the idea of ​​taking revenge by the Ming army, and Chen Wen welcomed one messenger after another to report the news.

However, this time the people came differently from the past, and they all swear by the credibility of intelligence. However, they are very secretive about their identity and the source of intelligence.

Chen Wen was not blindly ignorant about what happened in the Qing army occupied the area. Naturally, he was also very clear about the thoughts these people had. However, the power of the enemy and us is really different now, so no wonder they did this.

Thinking about this, Chen Wen did not intend to make things difficult for this. After all, if the Ming army could defeat the Qing army, it would still be necessary for these powerful local people to assist the Ming army in ruling the local area.

With this thought, Chen Wen sent each messenger a certificate written in Chinese pinyin, which was used to prove that they had made contributions to the Ming army and asked these messengers to take them back to those "Lei Fengs" who "do good deeds without leaving a name", and said that after regaining this place, he would use this as a basis to ask the emperor for their merits. As for whether they could understand it or not, it didn't matter. It was enough for Chen Wen to understand it himself.

After sending off a few waves of messengers, Chen Wen began to study the authenticity of these information based on the inquiry. Unexpectedly, although these information had conflicts and unreasonable aspects, they were more or less reliable on key issues, and this key convenience was the trend of the Qing army.

Based on the information obtained from these two aspects, Chen Wen learned that the Qing army on the southern front had gathered in Jinhua City at this moment, and they spread the cavalry only to the east of the city facing Yiwu. The intention of the Qing army was already obvious, and from several more detailed information, Chen Wen also estimated the approximate time of the Qing army's dispatch. Since this was the case, he did not intend to continue to observe and test and began to mobilize the army.

In the military camp outside the Xicheng City of Yiwu County, large areas of camps were built in order to train the army, and a large number of camp tents were placed. At this moment, in the central army tent in the center of the camp, all officers under Chen Wen's command of the Bureau and the above-mentioned bureau chiefs of the bureau were already here, and even the prefect of Jinhua Sun Yu rushed over to provide logistical support for the upcoming military operations.

The participants were in place. Chen Wen made a general report on the overall situation and the strength and trends of the Qing army, and then arranged the tasks with the map of Jinhuafu on the table in the center of the tent.

"Our army occupies Dongyang and Yiwu counties, and there is almost no strategic depth, and most of the new recruits in the army are the children of these two counties. Therefore, the general decided that this battle should be defended outside the gate, and that the Tartars should not attack the hinterland and harm the people."

This time, Chen Wen expanded his army to more than 7,000. But except for the more than 1,000 veterans, all of them were new soldiers. Once the Qing army invaded these two counties and killed people and set fire, the morale of the army would be affected, and there would be no need to fight the battle.

Seeing that the generals under his command had no objection, Chen Wen pointed to the map and continued: "This time, the Tatars marched into two lines, and the northern line was divided into two lines, and the eastern and western routes. Among them, the Tatars on the west route was the Zhejiang Governor Biaoying, with more than two thousand soldiers. The auxiliary soldiers were unknown, and they were expected to go south from Zhuji to Yiwu. The general decided to use Deputy General Yin to go north to Zhengjiawu Town to guard the western route of the Tatars on the north route..."

Zhengjiawu Town is located between the mountains in the eastern part of the Pujiang River and has always been known as the "North Gate of Jinhua". From here to Anhua Town, known as the "Nanmen Gate of Zhujin", is a narrow corridor area. Later Anping Road Provincial Highway, Shanghai-Kunming Expressway and Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway all passed by here, and you can also enter the Pujiang River along the Huangzheng Line, which used this place as the starting point in later generations.

The Qing army went south from Zhuji, and there were two roads to walk, one of which had to pass through this place. The other was to bypass this corridor from north of Anhua Town, flowing upstream through the Puyang River and entering Pujiang County, and from the other side of the mountain, bypassing Zhengjiawu Town and turning into Yiwu.

"In addition, the Tartars may also enter Pujiang County along the Puyang River and then attack Yiwu from there. You can decide for yourself if you do it, but be sure to block the Tartars outside Yiwu County."

Leading a battalion to face the elite green camp like Zhejiang Governor Biao Battalion, and as long as it can block the Qing army outside, it would be a great contribution. Yin Yue received this important task, which immediately aroused the envy of other officers. Even Yin Yue had a look of complacent expression on his face. On the contrary, Wu Dengke, who had never hidden his words, seemed calm and unmoved at all.

"Master, isn't this battalion too much?"

Yin Yue knew very well that although this Fubiao camp was not a weak brigade, it was still a certain gap compared with the Qibiao camp that Nantang Camp had previously faced. Last year, Nantang Camp defeated more than 1,000 soldiers of the Qibiao camp with 500 soldiers. This time, Chen Wen gave him a battalion of 1,600 infantry, but all he needed to do was to block these 2,000 Fubiao camps, which was too simple.

Furthermore, the main force of the Ming army must be going to fight with the main force of the Qing army this time, so naturally there will be more soldiers than fewer ones.

"Your mission is not light. There is no need to discuss this matter."

"I will obey the order."

Seeing that Yin Yue and the four bureau chiefs of Dongyang Camp retreated, Chen Wen also restrained his eyes from observing the generals and continued, "Deputy General Li."

"The last general is here." Hearing Chen Wen's name, Li Ruixin hurriedly bowed and even the cavalry officers were ready to go.

"The Tatars, with our former old rival, Shaoxing Green Camp, came out of Sheng County and went south to Dongyang, with more than a thousand troops. I know that you are good at using cavalry, but this time there is no large cavalry for you, and you need to try to hold Shaoxing Green Camp, do you have confidence?"

After hearing Chen Wen’s doubts, Li Ruixin, who has always been arrogant, naturally took the initiative. "The last general will fulfill his mission!"

"Very good, I believe that Deputy General Li, you can complete this task."

"The Tartars used the supervision camp, the remnants of the Jinhua Town Biaoying, Quzhou, Yanzhou, and Chuzhou, each of the three associations went out of the capital city to attack Yiwu, which was the main force of the Tartars encirclement and suppression this time. This will decide to personally lead the two battalions of Nantang, Yiwu and some reserve troops to send troops tomorrow, cross Yiting Town to fight the Tatars on the southern line, and restore the capital city!"

"The last general will obey the order!"

The general military deployment was basically completed, and all that was left was some details. Sun Yu, who was sitting by the side, listened for a while and suddenly remembered that a problem had not been resolved.

"Ship Chen, almost all the troops were dispatched, what about Luo Chengyan?"

"I have made up this matter, so there is no need to worry too much."

This time, Sun Yu needed to be responsible for the logistics of the army. Wu Dengke and Yin Yue were familiar with Zhou Qingui, and they were all in charge, and they could not instigate Zhou Qingui. The Jinhua people who joined Dalan Mountain after Yin Can died and Zhou Qingui and others were originally colleagues, but they were dissatisfied with Zhou Qingui's wealth and were content with Zhou Qingui's ability to be at peace. They did not have the spirit of enterprising spirit to leave Dalan. There were no indiscriminate conflicts and hatreds in the middle, and naturally they did not want to see Chen Wen use any fierce means.

However, seeing that Chen Wen had no intention of continuing to discuss this issue, Sun Yu was not willing to say more. Until Chen Wen assigned military tasks, the two made arrangements for logistics issues. In addition to requisitioning civilians, they mainly rely on water transportation.

After the military agreement was over, all the officers took the task to prepare, and Sun Yu mentioned another thing to Chen Wen.

"Fu Ren, Governor Wang's mother wants to see you."

Wang Jiang’s mother?

Could it be that she has news about Wang Jiang? (To be continued.)
