Since the civil affairs of Jinhua Prefecture was always under the responsibility of the civil service group of Dalanshan, after Cao Conglong placed Sun Yu under house arrest and Fubiao Camp seized the key points of the city, the civil service of the entire city completely returned to normal the next day. Even the authority that had already been subordinate to Jinhua Town was redistributed. Only the gains of military supplies were far lower than his expectations. Looking at the account book, a large part of the difference was not sent to the Quzhou front line, but to Yiwu along the Dongyang River, which made him and the new military service officer who replaced Gu Shouli, the prisoner, feel quite puzzled.

In addition, Chen Wen's army was only two hundred miles apart from Jinhua City. If the Qing army behind it was ignored, it would only take a few days to march. This was the result of counting some terrain barriers.

For Cao Conglong, he had been away from the Lu Jianguo for a long time. God knew how long they could last, so he had to force him to act. However, considering that the news was leaked, he had to temporarily close the gates of the city to reduce the possibility of the news spread to Quzhou, hoping to use this time he won to form the army so that he could send troops to attack Taizhou as soon as possible without being trapped in Chen Wen's counterattack.

However, after a day of Anmin and the recruitment of troops, I got news from Zhou Qingui that I could not recruit soldiers last night. If I compared them with Chen Wen in Yiwu last year, the gap between them would be even more obvious.

After a long time, Cao Conglong finally came up with a rough idea of ​​the reason, but he still felt a little unimaginable that the civil servants and military officers who had the righteousness of the Lu State court were not as good as a martial artist in terms of appeal, and Chen Wen violated the interests of local gentry and wealthy families, and their hatred for Ma Jinbao.

In this regard, he had to blame the incompetence of Zhou Qingui and others for not recruiting soldiers, and of course the reason for the small population in Jinhua Fucheng City.

The recruitment of soldiers was not going well, but fortunately he did not intend to put all his hopes on it. The courier who was rushing to horses had already confirmed the news of the garrison of Tangxi County and the military judge surrendered. The messenger who had just sent to Lanxi also came back. The garrison there said that he would give a reply in the past two days, hoping that Cao Conglong would not be embarrassed for his family. The two counties were closest to the capital city, so the reply was also the fastest. It is estimated that the defenders of other counties would surrender one after another in a few days. During this period, Cao Conglong decided to issue government orders through the county governments of each county to release the next means to interfere with Chen Wen in advance.

On the third day of the rebellion, Cao Conglong had decided to take out his trump card in advance to prevent accidents. In the afternoon, Ni Liangxu, the general of Fubiao Camp who was responsible for taking over the city defense in Tangxi County, had already crossed the Dongyang River and was leading his subordinates to the Tangxi County at full speed.

The cooperation between Luo Chengyan's white-headed army was accused of the recruitment and Cao Conglong was due to their dissatisfaction with Chen Wen's adaptation plan last year. The generals and escorts of the Jinhua Ming army were from the former old Nantang camp. There were less than 500 people at that time, some of them were old, weak, women and children who could not join the formation. Even if Chen Wen gave them the position of an officer, they would inevitably be overwhelmed by the Jinhua Ming army. At that time, their lives would be controlled by the people, and they would not be as good as those of Luo Chengyan, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

To this day, Cao Conglong's recruitment gave them a chance to regroup. It is natural that the two sides took advantage of Chen Wen's western expedition and the entire Jinhua Ming army was in a weak state to seize power. However, yesterday, Cao Conglong insisted on appointing the commander of the Jinyiwei as the deputy general of the Fubiao Battalion, standing side by side with He Decheng, and it seemed that he had the tendency to have the power in his hands, which still made them feel a little uneasy.

In order not to be as good as **********, Zhou Qingui and others decided to expand the troops as soon as possible after secret discussions last night. Among them, the acquisition of the garrison troops of the Ming army in Jinhua Town was one of the most critical methods. Ni Liangxu once supported the adaptation plan to accept Chen Wen last year, and it was already in the Baitou Army of Luochengyan, which also caused dissatisfaction among Cao Conglong and others who heard the news. However, no matter what, he was still an old man of this rebel army. He fought with the Qing army of Jinhua Prefecture under Yin Can, so he was naturally closer than the Jinyiwei.

Relying on the rebels' support of the civil service group, the team of men led by Ni Liangxu quickly crossed the Dongyang River. However, in the subsequent marches, due to poor training in the army, the marching speed was very slow. When they were familiar with the road, they only walked most of the journey until night.

He camped in the wild for a night. The next morning, Ni Liangxu led his team to continue moving forward and did not arrive at Tangxi County until noon. After the notice, he soon welcomed the guard and the military judge who had been waiting for a long time. After presenting the token and the cousin of the military judge who was traveling with him, the commanders of the two local garrison recruited the captains of the five infantry teams in the garrison.

Three of the captains of the five infantry teams were also in the Fucheng City. With the cooperation of the garrison and the military judge, Ni Liangxu imposed these officers without much effort and prepared to take part of them back to the Fucheng City in the past few days to replenish them in the Fubiao Camp sequence.

Since ancient times, surrender is like being attacked. Today is the first day. After nightfall, Ni Liangxu specially made some big fish and meat to stabilize the morale of the army to hold a banquet for the Ming soldiers from Fubiao Camp and the garrison in the military camp. However, the wine was spared for the time being to avoid accidents.

The soldiers of the garrison expressed great anxiety about the change from Jinhua Town to the Fubiao Battalion. Even though Ni Liangxu repeatedly promised that joining the Fubiao Battalion would improve their treatment, he could not suppress this emotion. However, since the officers had no other choice, they could only do this for the time being, so no trouble occurred. However, the entire garrison was like a volcano that was about to erupt, only waiting for a reason to promote the eruption.

At the banquet, the soldiers were eating dishes cooked by the chefs on the school grounds of the camp in the camp. The teams in the Fubiao camp were cheering and feasting, while the garrison was very quiet. The soldiers were just eating in a silence, and sometimes they looked at the soldiers near the Fubiao camp, with a very complicated expression.

At the same time, the officers of the garrison accompanied Ni Liangxu and the officers of the Fubiao camp who accompanied him to have a banquet in the hall of the garrison palace, which was discussed on weekdays. However, compared with the soldiers outside, the garrison officers had a more complicated mentality. After all, their family lives are in control of the county. Today, they cooperated with Fubiao camp to control the county town. Even if they can protect their military power in the future, if Chen Wen returns, how will they deal with it?

However, the situation is better than others at the moment. In the harmonious atmosphere deliberately created by Ni Liangxu, the garrison officers had to bite the bullet and cooperate with the dirty jokes and jokes of the officers of the Fubiao camp, and made bursts of laughter that were not from their hearts. Especially when the Fubiao camp officers had their eyebrows even with Ni Liangxu's prior orders and occasionally showed superiority in their words, it seemed even more embarrassing.

The local garrison guards were local people in Dalanshan. They originally lived in the small village where Chen Wen lived. As the earliest group of old subordinates who followed Chen Wen along the way, they certainly got their due status. However, this time, not only his wife and children were under house arrest, but even the old lady who was widowed when she was young was controlled by Cao Conglong's false benevolence and righteous bastard, which made him, who had always been known as a filial son, face the most difficult choice.

After thinking about it, loyalty and filial piety cannot be achieved at the same time. As long as you are alive, you will have the opportunity to repay it. But if I lose it, I will really have no chance to fulfill my filial piety.

The troops controlled the troops to accept Cao Conglong's proposal to join the Fubiao camp. As the newly-accompanied person, he responded to the other party's topic in a low voice. This feeling seemed to have never appeared since he swore to follow Chen Wen that night, but now he has to face it.

"Song Guerrilla, what interesting things have been going on in the past two days? Let everyone have fun."

Have fun? It’s too late to worry, so where can I think about what to be happy about?

The garrison guards who had been promoted to a guerrilla general by Cao Conglong, who was indignant when they heard this. Just as Ni Liangxu also observed this and tried to figure out a new topic to drive away the embarrassment here, a garrison leader took the lead in helping his boss to rescue him.

"Brother Song is busy with military affairs every day and has no time to take care of him. I saw something interesting yesterday. Why not just talk about it?"

Seeing that someone was relieved, Ni Liangxu went downstairs and signaled to the captain to say it. The captain did not disappoint everyone's expectations and took out some strange and strange stories in the countryside that he heard when patrolling the city on weekdays, and even listened to the crowd.

After telling a few short jokes, the captain was not in a hurry to continue and took a drink alone. At this moment, Ni Liangxu, who was always thinking, suddenly asked, "Mr. Ke Qian, have any strange people gone in and out of this Tangxi County in the past two days?"

A strange character?

Tangxi County is remote and is also a long way from the golden waterway of Qujiang-Dongyang River. Therefore, in daily life, except for the few merchants who rush to buy goods in Jinhua Mansion, they rarely come here. After thinking about it, it seems that a group of people left a deep impression on him yesterday.

"When General Ni, I saw a group of three people at the east gate when I was patrolling the city yesterday. It seemed that a coachman carried a scholar and a scholar's book boy. However, the scholar was a little handsome and distorted. If there were sisters in his family, he would definitely be a rare beauty."

The captain said it casually, just as a joke in the meal. Who knew that the speaker was unintentional, but he listened to it intentionally. As soon as this statement came out, Ni Liangxu immediately thought of a scene a few days ago and immediately asked: "Is there a Zhou character on the curtain behind the carriage?"

Seeing that Ni Liangxu was actually interviewed with a formal attitude, everyone turned their eyes to the captain. God knew how this question would happen. The captain thought for a while before he dared to reply, "Does he not recognize Nian Zhou, but there is a square word that is true."

After getting this answer, Ni Liangxu immediately lost the opportunity to continue the banquet. After drinking a few glasses of wine, he took the excuse that he could not bear to drink and returned to his residence to rest.

The next morning, surrounded by his personal soldiers, Ni Liangxu stepped onto the war horse and tried to confirm the potential threat, but was stopped by the deputy who came with him.

"Ni Shuai, you still need to take charge here, so why not go there."
