Chapter 47 Rewrite on

Ma Jinbao's headquarters was located in a large mansion near the county government office. After entering the city, the Ming army, under the guidance of the Qing army, the cavalry quickly arrived there and monitored the entire area. Immediately afterwards, the vanguard of Yiwu Camp also surrounded the entire area with rushing march and followed up. Just waiting for the artillery team to follow up, they could blast open the exterior wall or gate and enter the mansion.

The Qing army in Taipingmen resisted the change of defense and the officers led the team were captured. The news that the news might have leaked came, and Ma Jinbao ordered his personal soldiers to load the goods into the vehicle in case of an accident. However, this accident came much faster than expected.

As soon as the goods obtained from many years were loaded, the news came that the soldiers from the Quzhou green camp of Taiping Gate surrendered to the Ming army. The city was no longer safe, and Ma Jinbao didn't care about these things outside. He hurriedly called his personal soldiers to get on the horse and fled, trying to escape from other city gates that were not occupied by the Ming army. As for the soldiers under his command, they were not as safe as their lives were about to be lost. However, as soon as he left the gate, he was blocked back by the Ming cavalry who had just arrived.

Outside the mansion, the Ming army, who had seen Ma Jinbao get blocked with his own eyes, could no longer wait. After the infantry arrived, they hurriedly prepared to take the ladder to enter the mansion.

However, before the Ming army's artillery arrived, and even the ladder of the infantry team was not even mounted, Ma Jinbao was put on his adopted son's neck with a knife and opened the door to surrender. While this timely "meritorial official" guided the Ming army to control the carriage with wealth, he also led the Ming army to collect other inconvenient property and children in the mansion that were inconvenient to take away, confidential documents, weapons and armor, and did his duty to lead the party. Thinking about it carefully, it was a bit similar to Ma Jinbao's efforts to surrender his colleagues when he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, but he was worthy of the relationship between the adopted father and son.

Soon, the Ming army who entered the city controlled the gates, streets, bridges, county governments, warehouses, military camps, and even county schools of Longyou County. However, when the Ming army arrived at the dock, they saw several broken boats slowly sailing towards the north bank of Qujiang, leaving only some unburned hulls and the corpses of Zhenbiaoying and Shuiying everywhere in Yiqian Village.

When the Ming army entered the city, Qi Xiufeng, the judge of the general army, assigned the judges of various departments to personally lead the tutors and soldiers to control the horses and treasure headquarters, county government offices, warehouses and military camps, etc., where supplies needed to be taken in order to prevent the officers and soldiers from being seized. Immediately afterwards, the accompanying staff quickly arrived at various places under the leadership of the confidential document Zhou Jingting and began to count and seize them.

The Ming army controlled the entire Longyou County in an orderly manner based on everything planned in advance. Only the way of breaking the city was slightly different from the plan, so that a gap had just been cut in the ancient city wall underground. After it was expanded, the engineers who could load gunpowder and explode had to supervise the civilians to refille the tunnel in order to prevent it from being used by the Qing army or someone else who might have arrived.

After Chen Wen arrived at the county government office, the officers and staff who entered the city began to report the progress of their respective matters. Initially speaking, the actual storage in the county government office and the warehouse did not match the records. There were many wealth looted by the Qing army in the military camp, which was the intention. Only the value range of wealth in Ma Jinbao's headquarters still scared Chen Wen, who had already had some mental preparations.

Silver should be between 100 and 150 taels, gold should be no less than 50,000 taels, antique calligraphy, paintings, jewelry and jewelry are countless, only the woman who was trapped in the mansion showed a certain sincerity. I guess this guy has already planned to change the place and grab it...

Thinking of the generous conditions that Ma Jinbao had when he wanted to buy a way out, Chen Wen really didn't know whether this guy sacrificed his life and money or did not know how the word "death" was written.

With great interest, he asked someone to escort Ma Jinbao, the officers of Zhenbiao camp and the officials of the Qing Dynasty in the county town. However, the first scene he saw was that Ma Jinbao fell to the ground, walked to the position he should have stood, and muttered a whisper and knocked the ground with a loud bang. There was no demeanor that a general who had commanded the army should have. It was obvious that an unspurious thief begging for forgiveness in front of the official.

Since last year's army attacked Jinhua Mansion, the battle between Chen Wen's Ming army and Ma Jinbao and his Qing Dynasty Jinhua Town Biao Camp has been intermittent for almost a year. The combat effectiveness of this Qing army is probably stronger than the Shaoxing Green Camp, which has been confronted several times before. It is estimated that it has devoted all its energy to scraping the ground, so it will be like this if there is no time to conduct necessary military training.

The officers and surrendered soldiers of Zhenbiao camp dealt with each other after interrogation, which was no different from before. Only the fate of the Qing army commander who was still kowtowing desperately begging for mercy was already destined.

Seeing his former opponent begging for dignity, Chen Wen's interest just now was gone, and even the sarcasm he had thought of earlier were too lazy to express. On the contrary, the officers from Jinhua Palace in the army cursed at Ma Jinbao in the tent, which made it difficult for him to take him down directly. Instead, these officers vented the anger caused by hatred, as long as they didn't take action, because this dog traitor still had a certain surplus value to exploit.

After repelling these prisoners, Chen Wen began to arrange the next step of action. The capture of Longyou was just the beginning, just like trying to cross Lingxi before, it was just a prelude to restore Quzhou Prefecture, and to relieve the threat of the Western Front before the Qing army was in short supply in the southwest battlefield and then head north to Ningshao.

This year was the year when the Qing army had the most strain in the next few years. We must make good use of this period to achieve greater results in order to eliminate the Qing Dynasty, the great enemy. Therefore, after the army had been resting for several days, Chen Wen led his troops to continue to go west. As for the county town, his staff was temporarily in charge, and when the messenger who reported the victory returned to Jinhua, Cao Conglong arranged for civil servants to manage it.

……………………

As the Dubiao Camp and the Quzhou Green Camp were driven back by the Ming army, Longyou County was completely isolated and helpless, and the entire city fell into a state of panic again. When the news of Longyou being captured by the Ming army came, a large number of wealthy gentry and wealthy families rushed to flee, fearing that they would be surrounded by the Ming army and become victims of the battle between the Ming and Qing armies.

On the tenth day of the fifth day of the sixth year of Yongli, the officials and staff of Chen Jin's staff in the Governor's yamen were busy to the point of not occupying land. A few days ago, the envoy of the Quzhou Water Camp rushed back to the city and complained about Ma Jinbaohuo's crimes. As a result, all the families of Zhenbiao camp in front of him were controlled, and the news came that Longyou County was captured by the Ming army. At this moment, some soldiers of Zhenbiao camp who escaped by luck also returned to the city. An officer from Wenzhou green camp was kneeling in front of Chen Jin and telling the details of the fall of the city.

From the Ming army's troops to the excavation attempt to release the collapse; from the Qing army's raid at night, to the Ma Jinbao setting up a Hongmen banquet to massacre all the generals, and combined with the report of Quzhou Water Camp, Chen Jin quickly understood the whole process thoroughly.

But even so, he couldn't figure it out at this moment. Over the years, it has always been the internal struggle of the Ming army that has benefited the Qing army, but this time, there was a ridiculous incident in the Qing army that was taken advantage of by the Ming army, which was beyond his imagination.

However, Chen Jin forgot that their Green Camp soldiers, even many Han Eight Banners soldiers, were all Ming troops. They were from bandits and the Qing army had absolute advantage, under high pressure, these traitors were naturally more united than the Ming army with their own ulterior motives. However, on this part of the battlefield in Quzhou, the Ming and Qing armies were easy to attack and defend. Moreover, after the sudden attack of the Dubiao Battalion, the other Qing troops were extremely frightened, and it became normal for the horse to join the Baohuo and the Quzhou Water Camp to get involved.

The reason behind this is not complicated. He is in the game and can quickly figure it out as long as he calms down a little. However, it doesn’t matter whether he figures out or not at the moment. The Ming army’s offensive is the biggest threat at the moment.

According to the report of the horse exploration that was scattered, the Ming army had crossed Dingyang Creek when the Qing army in Quzhou lost confidence in fighting and intercepting, and would encircle Quzhou Prefecture City as late as tomorrow afternoon.

At this moment, there are only the Dubiao camp and Quzhou Green Camp in the city. The reinforcements of Chuzhou Green Camp who arrived early, as well as some regiments trained and the destruction of Quzhou Water Camp, which could not be fought again. As for the Wenzhou Green Camp and Fujian Jianning Army, they are still on the way. Even though Hangzhou stationed the Eight Banners and the Second Fubiao Battalion, they have set off, but the distance cannot quench the near thirst. With these weak combat reinforcements, Chen Jin has no confidence in defending Quzhou Prefecture City.
