Chen Jin was dead, and almost the entire Governor's Office knew about this news. But even so, he still issued an order to close the door as Zanhua to prevent the news from leaking too quickly.

Regarding Chen Jin, after a year-long fierce battle in western Zhejiang, Li Zhifang no longer regarded him as a Shangguan, but also regarded him as a benefactor who always sheltered him from the wind and rain, and had the kindness of knowing his favor. Whether he gave up Yiwu County without a wall, withdrew the defenders besieged Luo Chengyan, or later Jinhua was recovered by the Ming army and appointed him, a fugitive official who had lost the city, as the governor's office, with the repeated impeachments since then and now, Chen Jin didn't care about others, Li Zhifang, at least he was indeed kind to him.

But now that Chen Jin is dead, the fall of the city is inevitable. Chen Wen's army will be unable to stop this big rock on the road.

Li Zhifang was unwilling to give up, but he, a prosecutor from the state prefecture, could not do anything about it. It was still far from dawn, so we had to take advantage of this period to minimize the losses.

It is expected that the Ming army will inevitably launch a general attack tomorrow. Chen Jin has already left a preparatory plan to save his life, and Li Zhifang is responsible for the implementation. Now there is enough time and we must take action as soon as possible.

……………………

He was awakened in his sleep. Chen Wen, who had been sleepy for a while, looked at the Jinke in front of him in a daze and the four terrified servants.

The head and seal in the brocade box have been confirmed in the captive camp. It really belongs to Chen Jin, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian. At least a few hours ago, Chen Jin used these. But now, they are lying in front of Chen Wen, which is truly impermanent.

Since the fourth year of Yongli, Chen Jin planned to completely eliminate the Ming army in Dalan Mountain, the Battle of Zhoushan, and then the Battle of Western Zhejiang-Western Hegemony that began with Chen Wen's recovery of Jinhua, the Governor of Zhejiang-Fu Chen Jin was always his biggest opponent.

In October of the fourth year of Yongli, Chen Jin sent Jin Li, General of Gushan Ezhenpingnan and Zhejiang Admiral Tian Xiong to wipe out all the units of the Ming army in Simingshan...

In August of the fifth year of Yongli, Chen Jin, Jin Li, Tian Xiong and Dinghai General Zhang Jie, and Gushan Ezhen Liu Zhiyuan's troops captured Zhoushan City, forcing the Ming army in Zhoushan to travel far away to Fujian...

In November of the fifth year of Yongli, Zhang Guoxun, deputy general of the Supervisor Battalion, and Ma Jinbao and Fubiao, the various departments of the Shaoxing Green Camp surrounded Chen Wen's troops in the two counties of Dongyang and Yiwu, and almost all their previous efforts were wasted...

In April of the sixth year of Yongli, Chen Jin personally led the Biao camp to raid the Nantang camp that smuggled through Lingxi. If Chen Wen's general Li Ruixin had not learned from Chen Wen's tactics, the first attack on Quzhou would have ended in the defeat of the Ming army...

In September of the sixth year of Yongli, after quelling the Cao Conglong Rebellion, Chen Wen personally raised a large army to attack Quzhou, while Chen Jin concentrated twice as many army as his, and even used the Supervisor Battalion to copy the organization of the Yuanyang Formation, trying to destroy the Ming army under Chen Wen's troops in one fell swoop...

Two years have passed since Wang Yi died in his country, Wang Jiang was captured and Zhoushan slaughtered. These are all related to Chen Jin, a senior official of the Qing Dynasty. In history, he personally destroyed the anti-Qing forces in Zhejiang. But now, Chen Jin's head is quietly lying in the Jin box, and his achievements in history have been subverted with the rise of Chen Wen.

At this moment, Chen Jin is dead, so Quzhou is naturally no problem, and the surrounding prefectures and counties are also waving to him. Most of the goals this year have been achieved, and the rest is to expand the occupied area as quickly as possible to prepare for next year.

"Change the plan and siege the city tomorrow morning!"

……………………

Outside the Water Gate west of Quzhou Prefecture City, Li Zhifang slowly sailed to the opposite shore with two black-sailed boats.

These two ships were previously planned to escape. One ship was loaded with people and the other ship was loaded with goods from plunder. Originally, Chen Jin planned to escape with him once Quzhou was lost. But now, Chen Jin is dead, and all these ships and goods have fallen into the hands of Li Zhifang, who is in charge of the matter. Naturally, he would not be so stupid that he abandoned it and stayed in Quzhou Prefecture City to wait for death.

Although the Ming army's water camp almost completely annihilated the Quzhou water camp and was invincible on the Qujiang River, they did not have black technology such as searchlights that Li Zhifang had never heard of. In addition, the Ming army water camp, which was always in Jinhua, knew very little about the hydrology of the Qujiang River, so warships naturally did not dare to move easily in the dark night. For Li Zhifang, this Qujiang defense line could almost be said to be unprepared.

Leaving Quzhou, returning to the capital to find Zhu Zhixi and Ji Zhenyi, telling them what happened here, using the wealth and goods they took away in batches to relieve Chen Jin's family, and avenged this kind of grace. The rest can also be relieved of their crimes, and continue to be officials in another place, and there will always be a chance to avenge this arrow.

Full of hope, Li Zhifang stood up, but he didn't notice that the other Chen Jin's aides who were evacuating together were constantly communicating with their eyes, and the backs they looked at were also very flashing.

"Chen Jin shouldn't ask the cook if he cooked human flesh, but he should ask the person who served the food if he served the fake wine."

Chen Wen's ridicule immediately caused laughter from the generals in the tent. The Ming army had already questioned Chen Jin's four slaves several times before, and had already known the cause of Chen Jin's death, the troops, defenses, roads, important facilities, and major officials in the city. The general staff officer drew a map, and at the same time adjusted the tasks of the participating departments, aiming to control the city as quickly as possible and prevent the Qing army from harming the people.

According to them, Chen Jin's cause of death was that Chen Jin was defeated by Chen Wen several times, and he frequently took his anger and beaten him up at any time. Last night, he even insisted on saying that the mutton he ate for dinner was human flesh, beat the chef to death, and beat Lu Pichang halfway to death. They felt that Chen Jin was probably driven crazy by Chen Wen, for fear of being harmed by Chen Jin who was becoming increasingly moody, so they had to take action first.

This statement will definitely receive a lot of sympathy in modern times, but in this era, killing the master as a slave is harmful to the feudal ruling order, a serious crime that is taboo to the rulers and not tolerated by people at that time.

However, Chen Jin was so crazy that he executed all the grain merchants in the city, gathering all the grain in his hands so that the defenders and reinforcements could use them. Many Qing troops had done this trick, and many of them would use such tricks in the future in history. For example, when Li Dingguo besieged Xinhui, the Qing army had stored grain people, and even the scholars in the city were not spared, let alone ordinary people.

But even so, there were few people as crazy and planned as Chen Jin who turned the people of the city into two-legged sheep in a garrison. For a moment, even the generals of Chen Wen who were extremely dissatisfied with the four slaves killing their master were speechless. Only Chen Guobao, who had always been outspoken, was urging Chen Wen to execute these people to correct the rules.

"Among you who are the slaves of Chen Guobao, is there anyone named Ku Chengdong?"

"When you say yes, you have never heard of someone named Ku Chengdong."

Ku Chengdong, Chen Wen remembers that some historical books clearly state that this person assassinated Chen Jin, but was executed by Zheng Chenggong when he defected to Zheng Chenggong.

This record is said to be incorrect, and there are mistakes and omissions in both time and characters. However, if you think about it carefully, with Zheng Chenggong's personality, such a guy who killed the master with slaves would be dragged down and executed by him if he didn't do it well. However, for Chen Wen, they still need to seek the opinions of professionals on how to deal with it, and before that, of course, they had to squeeze out the surplus value completely.

The next morning, the Ming army of the brigade came out of the various camps besieged in the city and formed a formation outside the Quzhou city. In front of the army, the four family slaves were located outside the city walls and shouted to the city, claiming that Chen Jin was dead and the Ming army was lenient to the surrender. Especially outside the Lixian Gate in the south of the city, Li Jinzhong, dressed in a personal manner, even carried the money behind Chen Jin's head and exposed the head of the governor's head to the guards' vision.

A moment later, the scream of the death of the governor resounded throughout the city. After a while, as the city gate opened and the suspension bridge fell, a large number of Qing officials and defenders surrendered themselves, and handed over the Xiongcheng of Zhejiang, where the morale and people were dispersed.
