Chapter 29 The General of the Umbrella

Wuwei and holy virtue, heroic generals who have passed away forever; the divine light on jade faces, the Chongren Army has been drowned for thousands of years. 81号Ω

Later in the country, there was a place commonly known as Shaanxi Village in Xiushui Township, Changhua County, Taiwan. There was a black-faced general temple in the village, and the door post contained such a pair of golden-font couplets.

The Temple of the Black-Faced General is a statue of an ancient general with a face as black paint, a golden helmet, a silver armor, a sword to kill enemies, and a black beard hanging on his chest. The locals call him General Wumeng. It is said that this Black-Faced General was a Shaanxi general in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. He regained Taiwan with Zheng Chenggong, and then cultivated troops here. Later, he died of illness. Therefore, his subordinates began to settle here, and this place was also called Shaanxi Village by the locals.

Longevity.

"General Ma, my Zhejiang King's Army will not kneel down and speak."

"The sin will obey."

The Qing general in front of him stood up, and the one who appeared in Chen Wen's sight was a black-faced man with wider jaws and his clothes were just like ordinary people, but his heroic spirit was undoubtedly revealed. If the ugly rat tail of money was not behind his head, anyone would have to praise him for his might.

While Chen Wen looked at Ma Xin, he raised his head. Ma Xin was also observing the famous general who had only been newly thriving in front of him for several years.

The first time I heard Chen Wen's name was nearly three years ago. Li Rong, the deputy general of the Thunder Camp, was defeated by a rear army fleeing south, with heavy casualties. Immediately afterwards, Chen Wen went south to Tiantai Mountain, Yu Guowang went south to threaten the city. Even if he defeated him, Ma Xin was still thinking about what a general who could force him to use some unconventional means would look like. In the following days, Chen Wen gradually gained a foothold in the great victory in western Zhejiang. It was not that Ma Xin had thought of a ferocious battle with him. This idea always tempted him, but because the terrain was not conducive to the advance of the army, the Ming army was also almost leaving troops on the border and failed to make a move.

Of course, more, he did not intend to give this strength to the Qing Dynasty from the bottom of his heart. Instead of doing this, it would be better to see with his own eyes how good this Ming army is!

In the miserable defeat a few months ago, the Qing court severely punished General Liu Zhiyuan, Pingnan, and a group of officers who fled back. As for the green camps on all sides participating in the war, most of them sternly criticized the matter. After the criticism, as Hong Chengchou's memorial was quickly approved, the expansion of troops near the various prefectures immediately began.

From a two thousand-person alliance to a three thousand-person town, Ma Xin's real power increased dramatically, but he did not rely or respect Hong Chengchou's holy family and prestige like other nearby Green Camp officers, but instead became increasingly disgusted.

I have been surrendering to the Qing Dynasty for many years, and with the rat tail of money, this Shaanxi man felt ashamed of his ancestors all the time. However, the situation is stronger than others. The Qing army was very strong in Zhejiang. Supervising the bid, upgrading the bid, and adjusting the bid are not weak brigades. In addition, the Eight Banners stationed in Hangzhou can be regarded as the strongest place in the four southeastern provinces.

In contrast, on the Ming army, he had heard of the indecisive appearance of Lu Jianguo, but even within the Ming army, there were internal struggles and conflicts. Zhang Mingzhen, Ruan Jin, and Wang Binqing, and Zhang Mingzhen, and Ruan Jin, and Wang Yi; the open and secret struggle between the noble group and the civil servant group; and the Cao Conglong Rebellion last year, most of these were heard by Ma Xin. However, Wenzhou Sanpan, not far from the sea outlet of Oujiang, and even very close to Taizhou, Zhou Hezhi and Zhou Rui, a pair of cousins, could all go their separate ways, and gave up the Sanpan, causing the Ming army to send troops to guard against the southern line in the Battle of Zhoushan. How could the former Ming army in Zhejiang have the same atmosphere as the Zhongxing King's Division?

In contrast, the Ming army in Zhejiang is becoming stronger and stronger as it fights, and it is very likely that the iron armor of Zhejiang will sweep across the south of the Yangtze River. It has given military merits and strengthened the army with systems. In addition to the internal strife caused by external civil officials last year, internal civil and military forces have become unified, which is no longer comparable to yesterday's weather.

Originally, Ma Xin planned to take a look at Chen Wen's attitude towards the foreign forces that actively integrate into it, not for himself. At least he could not let his subordinates who had been with him fall into the fire pit with him for many years.

However, the current situation no longer allows him to choose. First, the Ming army in Zhejiang had sent people to persuade him. Second, after that battle, Hong Chengchou obviously had temporarily lost his ambition to sank the field and began to play with his methods when he encircled and suppressed bandits in the Chongzhen Dynasty. The cruelty was even better than before. Under the conflict between the two sides, it was inevitable to take sides, and now this is more in line with his original intention.

"Sin General resisted the royal army over the years, and death is not enough to atone for his sins. I hope that Anyuan Hou can give Sin General a chance and a chance to die for the Han family!"

After saying that, Ma Xin fell to the ground again. Even though he knew that Chen Wen was willing to come to see him in person, he still couldn't help but bow to the ground when he said this.

"General Ma, I just said that the King of Zhejiang will not promote this."

Hearing this, Ma Xin was stunned at first, then stood up awkwardly, but he didn't know whether it was because of the rudeness just now or the rudeness just now.

"Resist the King's Army." As he said that, Chen Wen shook his head. "I asked Zhang Jun to go to Linhai and I already know a little about you. There is indeed something about resisting the King's Army, but it is very rare compared to other green camp generals of the same level. The two years ago, they defeated Xinchangbo in Linhai and then encircled and suppressed the generals of Tiantai Mountain. Last year, Yushan Town was burned down, and this year they attacked Chuzhou. However, at other times, they only strictly guarded the cities of each county, and the army rarely even encircled and suppressed sporadic anti-Qing armed forces. If I were Xiao Qiyuan, a lazy subordinate like you, I would have submitted a letter to impeach him."

Generally speaking, if a surrendered general is called a death sentence, the surrendered commander should quickly get up and help him up, push food and clothes to save others. Ma Xin had never planned to see if Chen Wen would do this, but he had also heard of Mr. Shushu. Who knew that Chen Wen would not help him, but instead let him get up by himself and reveal his old truth. It was really unreasonable.

However, after he had revealed his true feelings, he suddenly said this, which made Ma Xin eliminate a little nervousness in the embarrassment - as Chen Wen said, at least he had not done too many evil things for the Qing Dynasty.

"As far as I know, the military discipline of Taizhou Green Camp is already extremely strict among the green camps in Zhejiang. There are not many things that your subordinates disturb the people, but they are very rare. Otherwise, I would not let my confidants take the risk of this trip to Linhai. As for atonement, I will make it clear. It is useless to just say it depends on actions. I can give you the opportunity. If you have the heart to redeem yourself, my Zhejiang Kings will not regard you as an outsider in the future. In history, I will leave you with a place of a hero in the Han family!"

In the big tent, Chen Wen was full of momentum, which was very different from his usual image of being lenient and strict in the army. But Ma Xin had never seen Chen Wen, and his understanding of him was limited to news. This was the case in his mind that he wanted to avenge the people of Yiwu when he was willing to kill prisoners on his back.

At this moment, after hearing what happened next, Ma Xin was completely relieved - Chen Wen understood his meaning very clearly. If he wanted to redeem himself, he had to make great achievements that could make others say nothing about. He was the one who bowed to the Qing Dynasty at the time, but now he had to stand up by himself. The Zhejiang Mingjun Group represented by Chen Wen and Chen Wen was also willing to accept a surrender who really wanted to be true, rather than treating him as a sideline.

"The Marquis has given him the order, and he will be guilty of no other crime."

"Very good, how long will it take for you to return to Linhai?"

"A fast horse or boat ride, up to two days."

Without any hesitation, he was obviously very familiar with the itinerary and carefully observed it. Chen Wen was quite satisfied with this, which was no different from the Ma Xin he remembered. The ancients paid attention to magic power, but now the power has been achieved. If Ma Xin can return to his heart, he will undoubtedly help him in the future.

"I'll give you five days and add a small army. Five days later, the Nantang Camp will come out from here, head straight to Linhai, and take over this Taizhou Prefecture City!"

Nantang Camp!

Ma Xin knew that this camp head, which took Qi Jiguang's name as the camp, was the first battalion that Chen Wen started at that time, and was also the most warlike war barracks in the Ming army in Zhejiang, and the old army with the most brilliant achievements. Chen Wenming clearly told him the behavior of this camp, which was obviously not as simple as openly arrogance, but more of a kind of trust.

"Marty, the crime..."

"This mission is not easy. I will entrust you with full authority. Hou Guoyuan, the battalion officer of Nantang Camp, and Luo Yongzhong, the captain of the Anyuan Hou Mansion Special Operations Team, will all obey your orders. See you next time, I don't want you to be guilty again, and I have no interest in calling you General Ma, Ziyu!"

Zi Yu is Ma Xin's word "大天" and Ma Xin naturally understands what the word "天" means. Next, Chen Wen began to explain his plan, and while Ma Xin listened, he also completed the information he knew.

Chen Wen's plan is not just a Taizhou Prefecture City. He wants a lot, so he has already made a lot of what Ma Xin did in history when Zheng Chenggong has done. The new battle barracks have not been trained yet, and the previous seven battalions were also stationed in various places. The combat effectiveness of the Dongyang Battalion could not be restored for a while. The guard battalion, which was originally a reserve team, must be left behind. At this moment, the only mobile force that Chen Wen could take out was Nantang Camp.

But now, Hong Chengchou's blockade order has been spread all over the nearby prefectures and counties, and the border relocation order has also begun to be implemented. Once the unmanned area appears, it is impossible for the Ming army in Zhejiang to obtain foreign resources from the road. It can only rely on water transportation and rely on sea trade to obtain more materials and personnel lacking in the occupied areas. There is no other way.

Moreover, Chen Wen clearly remembered how cruel the Qing Dynasty's order to ban the sea from the border was. It can even be said that the people who were slaughtered by the Qing army for banning the border were even those remembered massacres!

Now that the sixth relocation boundary has begun to spread to Jinquyan, the sound of killing has begun. If you want to break the deadlock, you must launch a counterattack as soon as possible. The first battle he chose was Taizhou. Because of the sea outlet, trade with the Ming army in Fujian can be carried out quickly, and the strength can be improved to a higher level.

Time is tight and the tasks are heavy, but there is little help to provide, but Chen Wen is full of confidence, because in history, Ma Xin was a general who could create miracles! (To be continued.)
