After passing through the West City area, turn west on a nearby street, and Tongyuanmen is not far away.

Tongyuan Gate is located in the southwest of Jinhua Prefecture City. Cao Conglong was shocked when he learned that Chen Wen had chosen to show up here, because the Qing army collapsed the city wall nearby a few years ago before entering the city. Over the years, both the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty seemed a little distracted from the repair of the severely damaged city walls near the city wall. When Cao Conglong came here, his heart was even more chilled because there were two large-caliber red barbarian cannons in front of the Ming army's battle formation.

Chen Wen's banner appeared outside Tongyuan Gate and asked Cao Conglong to come up to talk. All the generals of Fubiao camp handed over the defense and work in their hands to their deputy and confidants, and rushed here to see the quality of the rebels with their own eyes.

When they climbed to the city, most of the generals had arrived. Looking at the big flags outside the city that were waving in the wind, the phalanx of infantry under them that were chopping the knife and axe, and the light cavalry that were showing off their power in their sight, the only thing that could comfort him in Cao Conglong's heart was that the Ming army outside the city did not seem to have many troops, and it seemed that there were only seven or eight hundred people.

"This is probably just the vanguard."

Cao Conglong didn't know whether it was the echo of his heart spreading outside his body, or whether some of the generals also thought of this, but looking at the reactions of everyone around him, he knew that no one would believe that Chen Wen could suddenly capture Tangxi County, which had a moat as a supporter, with just such a small army.

At this time, the Ming army under the city seemed to have seen Cao Conglong's ceremonial guard. A loud voice officer holding an iron trumpet nodded to Chen Wen, then placed the iron trumpet in front of his mouth and shouted to the top of the city.

"On March 29, 2018, the 7th year of the regent of the kingdom of Lu, Linhaibo received news that the remnants of the Jiangxi King's Division had been surrounded by the Tartars. In order to relieve the difficulties of friendly forces and prevent the merger of the Tartars in Jiangxi and the Tartars in Quzhou after the destruction of the King of Jiangxi King's Division, Linhaibo and Cao Fujun agreed to regain the large-scale revenge of Quzhou."

"On April 12, 2018, the king set out from the city of the palace..."

Next, the officer talked about the battles of the Ming army in Quzhou according to the words he had previously recited by Chen Wen, especially how the Ming army went through bloody battles to cross Lingxi step by step, restored Longyou County, captured horses and treasures alive, and then surrounded the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian Chen Jin in an isolated city. In conjunction with the officer's narration, the Ming army behind the formation began to pile the heads of the Qing army loaded on a large cart one by one, and later it even supported the banners of the Qing army and threw them on the hills piled up at the heads.

As the officers told the story, especially while telling it, the Ming army under the city also began to place their heads that were inevitably exposed to their faces, and the city was immediately stunned.

In terms of morality alone, the black materials used by these rebels to slander Chen Wen, even if they were true, could not provide evidence for their justice. Especially when the Ming army was victorious, their plan to seize military power and attack Taizhou by relying on internal strife, the biggest beneficiary would be the Qing Dynasty. Although not many people would immediately speculate that Cao Conglong and the Qing Dynasty colluded, the seeds of suspicion began to be quietly planted with the comparison of the actions of the two Ming armies, Chen Wen and Cao Conglong.

Occupying the high ground of morality and then attacking opponents condescendingly is a common trick used by civil servants. The arguments they usually use to suppress military generals, such as "military generals do not read the books of sages, so they do not understand loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness" are the most commonly used in suppressing military generals.

However, Chen Wen used the method of presenting facts and reasoning to make a strong decision at the beginning of the show. He didn't even explain the rules of step by step, but he still choked Cao Conglong, who had already been ready for how to engage in a verbal battle.

He thought he would clearly ask whether Cao Conglong had colluded with the Qing Dynasty, but Chen Wen did not mention any questions, just to let others speculate on it himself. Cao Conglong knew very well that Chen Wen had already taken the initiative in the opening verbal battle, so he had to quickly let Congren, who was responsible for calling, read the manifesto. It was a "master work" written by him after thinking hard for a long time, coupled with Lu Wenlong's speculation and understanding of the Ming army in Dalanshan. It was originally used to establish justice, and at this moment it was just enough to attack the momentum of the Ming army.

But before Cao Conglong's follower opened his mouth, as the Ming army completed the work of carrying the head and the Qing army's flags, a flagpole nearly two meters was slowly pushed up by the civilians behind the Ming army. There was no flag on the flagpole, but a wooden stick of only six or seven feet thick as the flagpole was tied to it, in the shape of a cross, and the "cross" was clearly tied to a living person dressed in a Qing army general!

"Ma Jinbao!"

A scream sounded at the top of the city, and then it rose one after another. Almost in a blink of an eye, these three words remained on the top of the city, and were accompanied by hatred gazes.

Ma Jinbao was born into a bandit, first served as the Ming army. After surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, he followed the Qing Dynasty's Prince Aisin Gioro Boluo and went south. After Boluo captured Jinhua Prefecture City, he slaughtered them on the grounds that "the people were not obedient to their lives". Conservatively estimated that more than 50,000 people were killed, including Ma Jinbao, the accomplice. In the following days, Ma Jinbao was appointed as the general of Quzhou by Boluo, who was responsible for the military affairs of Jinqu and Qu, and was temporarily transferred to Jinhua. In the following days, this blood-stained accomplice led his Jinhua Town Biaoying to plunder the wealth of the entire Jinhua Prefecture, bullying men and women, and even destroying the whole family. It was said that he did everything evil until Chen Wenguang restored Jinhua Prefecture to the end.

First, they were accomplices who slaughtered the city and shaved their hair and changed their clothes, and then they were bullying, the mastermind of the people, suppressing and slaughtering the murderer of the anti-Qing rebel army in Jinhua. When Chen Wen defeated the Qing army in Xiaoshun Town, this guy even burned all over the city with Zhang Guoxun. For a long time, too many Jinhua people had their families destroyed because of this scum. Ma Jinbao and the gentry and people in Jinhua were as deep as the sea of ​​hatred!

"Oh my God, it's Ma Jinbao's dog thief!"

"So it's true. Lin Haibo really captured Ma Jinbao alive."

"Brother, little sister, that beast Ma Jinbao was caught by Lin Hai Bo, and he really caught it."

“…”

Most of the Fubiao camp on the city were forced to conquer people from the capital and the countryside. Seeing the great enemy being tied out of the city like a lamb to be slaughtered, the details of the attack on Quzhou that the Ming army just told and the fact that Chen Wen rescued them from the shadow of Ma Jinbao last year were immediately echoed in a louder voice. Even those rogues and criminals, and even the generals and soldiers of the Fubiao camp who were born in the Baitou Army of Luo Chengyan were no exception.

The eyes around him became more and more complicated, but Zhou Qingui, as the general of Fubiao Battalion, still stared at the enemy who was bound to the cross outside the city and was burning with a crack of eyes.

When the Qing army entered Jinhua Prefecture, Zhou Qingui led his neighbors to uprising and fought with these dogs and Tartars. Later, he united many rebel armies such as Jinhua, Taizhou, and Chuzhou as the head commander. Yin Can's joining and rectifying military discipline, and strictly prohibiting the development of plundering. This anti-Qing rebel army, named as the White-headed Army, once captured Jinyun County in Chuzhou, and was more than 80 miles long.

However, as Ma Jinbao moved to Jinhua Prefecture, Yin Can died, Xu Shouping and others died, and even those Yushan villagers who followed him to fight the Qing Dynasty were rarely spared.

Perhaps Ni Liangxu was right. Going down the mountain to conspire with these civil servants was a mistake from the beginning. If there was no constraint behind it, even Chen Jin, the dog thief, was caught by Chen Wen now. So will it be far away to catch the dog Tartars of Aisin Gioro Boluo and cut them into pieces?!

Although I didn't know that Boluo was dead, the scene in front of me still made Zhou Qingui fall into deep thought. But at this moment, a lot of smoke began to rise from the city gate from the city gate, constantly moving towards the city. At this time, the squealing screams of "the governor ran away" came from the defenders on the top of the city. Not only Cao Conglong, but also the carriages and horses that accompanied him disappeared, as if they had never appeared here.

The sudden change also suspended the spread of hatred towards the enemy from the Fubiao Camp. At this time, the Linhai Boss Chen Wen, who had never spoken under the city, snatched the iron trumpet and rode forward.

"Listen to the soldiers of the Governor Biao Camp, I am Chen Wen, the No. 1 Linhai. Chen Wen, who recovered Jinhua Prefecture and captured Ma Jinbao alive. Zhejiang Governor Cao Conglong pretended to be the will of His Highness the Superintendent, and harmed the major affairs of the country with his own personal power, resulting in the army failing to recover Quzhou as scheduled. At this moment, the army has entered the city. Those who open the city to surrender and those who surrender will be exempted from death. Those who resist the king's army will kill them and surrender early!"

"Subsist early!"

Accompanied by the Ming army's unison roar, the soldiers of Fubiao camp on the top of the city also echoed in the hearts of the soldiers of Fubiao camp on the top of the city, even the officers and veterans of Fubiao camp who were originally from Luochengyan's Baitou Army. However, no matter how they were more and more recruited, the Luochengyan's Baitou Army were all complicit. While feeling the increasingly unkind gazes of the new recruits around them, they also retreated to Zhou Qingui and other officers of Fubiao camp. It seemed that doing so could alleviate the deep conflicts in their hearts.

"Brother Zhou, Governor Cao has run away. Let's go quickly. Luo Chengyan is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and there will be a chance in the future."

He raised his head, looked around, and then looked at He Decheng who was holding his arm and whispering in a low voice. Zhou Qingui shook his head, and then said to the old brothers around him: "There are many cavalry under Linhai Bo's command, and we can't return all the troops. You go, I am the eldest brother, and I will always be responsible for these brothers." After that, he pushed He Decheng away, signaled everyone to tie him up and open the city gate in exchange for forgiveness.

Amid the crying and persuasion of the crowd, Zhou Qingui found a rope in the city gate tower and put it loosely on his body.

Soon, the city gate of Tongyuan Gate opened from the city with a creaking sound. A large number of Fubiao battalion officers and soldiers threw down their weapons in front of the Ming army. Even Zhou Qingui and several other leaders of Luo Chengyan Baitou Army tied themselves and knelt outside the city.

Seeing this, Chen Wen gave up the alternative plan to use the Red Barbarian Cannon to bombard the broken city wall, and then drew out his sword and waved it forward.
Chapter completed!
