Chapter 55 Chase! One

At night, Cao Conglong returned to the governor's office. The generals and officials in charge of leading the team came one after another. Even if they could not come, they sent people to report the news. Soon he understood the results of the day's power seizure.

The situation is very good!

All the key points of the city have been occupied, the defenders have been completely defeated, and after the officers have been swept away, ordinary soldiers have been directly imprisoned and waiting for review. In addition, civil servants from Ning Shao, who were born in Dalanshan, have joined forces, and even the Jinhua officials recruited in the past six months after Sun Yu was taken down.

After Fubiao Battalion was allocated, the remaining brigade followed the map to the homes of the Ming army officers of Jinhua and those staff members of the army, and escorted their families to the military camps in the city, preparing for the temporary prison. Of course, some valuable things were also indispensable during this period. The officers of Fubiao Battalion who would definitely be respected by their subordinates naturally turned a blind eye, as long as they did not make it too much trouble to make it difficult for them to do.

A group of frightened family members were forcibly escorted to the military camp for care. Cao Conglong found out that not all the officers' families were in the Fucheng City. Although the matter of dividing the land had been temporarily stopped due to Chen Wen's expedition, a large number of the families of the garrisons and garrison officers of each county's garrison and garrison were taken up with the post. They did not stay in the Fucheng to wait for the dividing land. Instead, most of the families of the large army were still waiting for the Ming army to triumph in the Fucheng City.

He secretly scolded Chen Wen for not understanding the principle of keeping his subordinates hostages, but fortunately it did not have much impact on the overall situation, because he wanted to vigorously expand the Fu Biao Battalion to restrain him, otherwise he would not dare to act with confidence even if he led a large number of Jinhua Ming troops to advance eastward.

After coming out of the governor's yamen, Ni Liangxu did not go back to rest, but went straight to the military camp where the hostages were held. After learning about the situation, the woman who came out of the government office did not go home, which made him feel a hint of uneasiness.

Back at the Jinhua Guarding Thousand Houses Office, which is temporarily the Fubiao Camp, Ni Liangxu told Zhou Qingui, who was already the general officer of Fubiao Camp. Hearing that only a woman ran away, Zhou Qingui laughed. In his words, the Zhou family's younger sister was probably afraid to run to the relative's house for a while. Can she still rush to Quzhou alone for help? Even if she went there, she would probably be arrested on the way to become the wife of the village, so there was no need to worry at all.

Later, Zhou Qingui was in a good mood and said that if Ni Liangxu was interested in the little woman and Zhou Jingting's identity, the family behind him would probably not have a good end. At that time, he could be shameless to ask Ni Liangxu to Cao Conglong to be a concubine. He believed that Cao Conglong would not refute his face in such a trivial matter.

Relying on their intentionality and unintentionality, they took over the entire mansion in one day. The civil servants who formed an alliance with Cao Conglong restored their rights to be eroded by Chen Wen, and the local garrisons were replaced by Fubiao Battalion. The situation was very good, but Ni Liangxu was still uneasy, but he didn't know whether the uneasiness came from the guilt towards Sun Yu or the woman who had disappeared inexplicably.

He couldn't figure it out and had to continue wasting his energy. Ni Liangxu scrubbed and went back to rest. Cao Conglong had ordered the officials to cooperate with the expansion, and even the method of practice was confirmed to be the method of copying Chen Wen. He would start recruiting soldiers early tomorrow morning, and it would always be good to have a break early.

……………………

Quzhou Fucheng is located directly southwest of Jinhua Fucheng, with the two places nearly two hundred miles apart. If we count the ferry that needs to be deliberately searched for due to the existence of streams along the way, it will be less simple to go around than two hundred miles.

The Zhou family and his three-member left Jinhua City in a carriage, and soon arrived at a ferry on the Dongyang River. They found a slightly larger ferry that could carry the small carriage they rode, and planned to cross the Dongyang River from there to Bailongqiao Town.

Bailongqiao Town is named after Bailong Bridge, which spans Baisha Creek. I don’t know if it is due to the legendary Bailong. The land is quite fertile. The Zhou family has some land and a shop for collecting and selling groceries. These have been taken away by Ma Jinbao and distributed to the officers under his command. Relying on Chen Wen’s large aftermath loan, it was successfully collected. From there, you should be able to get some essential items along the way.

Because the Zhou family's younger sister had a clear idea and did not delay the slightest along the way from the government office, she even rushed out of the city before the smoke from the arsenal was lit. The rebellious Fubiao Camp and Cao Conglong and others were still busy defeating the defenders and could not take into account the ferry outside the city. So they easily found the ferry they needed and transported it across the Dongyang River with people and carriages.

Going south, I finally arrived at Bailongqiao Town before sunset. The shopkeeper of the shop in Bailongqiao Town is an old family member of the Zhou family. She listened to her at home by her father's generation. She was honest and reliable. Later, she was arranged in the shop here. In addition to collecting some groceries, she was also responsible for collecting rent from nearby tenants.

After a group of three arrived, they went directly to see the old family. After being invited to the back hall, the little sister of the Zhou family knew that it was very strange that a woman took the coachman and the maid out. In order to prevent the family, who was very trusted, from returning home without telling her, she directly explained the matter in the city and said that she wanted to go to Quzhou to find her brother Zhou Jingting to instigate Chen Wen to return to his army to quell the rebellion.

The Ming army's internal strife, such a shocking incident, made the old man stunned, and the plan of the Zhou family's younger sister to go to Quzhou to ask for help was even more shocked.

"Hey, this good life has just passed a few days ago, why did this happen if my own people beat me again? How could I beat the Tartars if this continues!"

The old man sighed after he recovered until he remembered the plan of the Zhou sister, and quickly said that it was not convenient for a daughter to travel far. If the Zhou sister was relieved, he would let his eldest son go with the coachman. The Zhou sister just stayed here for a while and waited for the good news.

This method is reasonable, but the young sister of the Zhou family shook her head and then said: "Uncle Pan, it is indeed safe for them to go there, but it is unlikely whether they can convince Lin Haibo to lead the army back to the rescue."

What the Zhou sister said is true. What Chen Wen is like? How could a servant's son and a coachman be able to convince Chen Wen? Only when the Zhou sister convinces Zhou Jingting first can he accomplish anything. Otherwise, God knows what will happen after a long time. At that time, even if Chen Wen comes back, he will not be able to replace the lives of her parents and relatives.

There was no other way, so the old family had to quickly prepare some men's clothes for the Zhou sister and her party as a disguise. They sought some dry food and money and sent them to the inn in the town, and agreed to let his two sons and a son-in-law escort the Zhou sister to Quzhou early tomorrow morning.
