Chapter 32 Forced Landing

"Borrowing the court will lead to a dead end!"

Only twenty steps apart, with Zheng Zhiwen's shooting skills, and the Taizhou Qing army was shocked at this moment. It can be said that there is no reason to miss the shooting. It can even be said that even if it fails to miss the shooting, the soldiers of Daobiao Camp could hear it. There was a city gate not far away. Even if it could not be beaten, it was possible to rush out of the city.

Unfortunately, when Zheng Zhiwen picked up the bow and took the arrow, anyway, a sharp arrow had already broken out from the strings of the Qing army in Taizhou. He penetrated directly from his mouth that had just opened, and blocked the word "有有" back. It seemed as if he was telling him that the word "betrayal" is not worthy of talking about others!

The half-pulled bowstring returned to its original state as the force disappeared. The moment the arrow landed, Zheng Zhiwen's eyes widened, only a whining bowstring in the hands of a Qing army uniform in the distance.

"Brother Gan, do a pretty job!"

In history, Zheng Zhiwen escaped from the city with his subordinates when Ma Xin was anyway. It was not until the autumn of the following year that Zheng Chenggong sent general Zhang Ying as the head coach and attacked Taizhou again with Ma Xin as the vanguard. Zheng Zhiwen died in that battle. But now, Zheng Zhiwen is dead. He never expected that the face-born officer sent by Ma Xin was a leader of the Anyuan Marquis' Special Operations Team. This leader brought two people, and together there were twenty members, the purpose was to prevent this in case at this moment!

He praised Gan Cang, the archer of our team. The officer clamped his horse's belly and walked to the horse's confidant officer.

"The rabbit is already shocked, rush in."

Hearing this, the trusted officer looked at Gan Cang with lingering fear, then looked at the members of the special operation team who were always silent but maintained the best weapon to take action, and immediately ordered the entire army to attack Dabiao camp.

……………………

The navy general rushed to the city and looked at the city where the enemy was facing. Although he speculated that Ma Xin had ordered the whole city to be on guard, he always felt something was wrong and he could not say it.

It was already dawn, and the Ming army was far from arriving, so the navy general would naturally not enjoy the treatment of sitting in a hanging basket. After entering the city, the navy general led by Ma Xin's personal soldier, led by Ma Xin's personal soldier. However, when he entered the camp, the first scene he saw was that the body of Zheng Zhiwen, the guard of the Daobiao Central Army, was hung from the gate.

I thought it was not good, but it was impossible to leave. The navy general gritted his teeth and entered the tent. After seeing the scene Zheng Zhiwen saw last night, he understood it completely.

"Ma Xin, are you crazy? Although the imperial court has made minor setbacks now, it still controls most of China's land. Whether it is Chen Wen or Zheng Chenggong, which one is worth your doing."

"Which one?" Ma Xin shook his head. "Isn't these enough for the saints' defense of the barbarians and the clothes of the ancestors and the bodies and hair of their parents?"

Hearing this, the general of the navy was stunned at first, and then sighed. "My parents, wife and children are in their hometown. If they surrender to the Ming army, they will die. When they fight with their colleagues, I hope Brother Ma can give me a complete body, so that my family can come to pick up bones and return to their hometown in the future."

……………………

At night that day, the advance troops from Nantangying arrived in Linhai County.

After learning that Ma Xin was about to arrive in Nantangying, the garrison of Xianju County knew that he could not resist, so he simply turned to assist the Ming army so that he could make some contributions during the process of conquering Taizhou. The infantry flowed down on a boat, the cavalry whipped up their horses, and the Nantangying commanded the Zhenwei lieutenant regiment to train the general, Hou Guoyuan, soon arrived at Linhai County.

"The last general Hou Guoyuan came to wait for General Ma to dispatch him."

"General Hou is so polite." He held Hou Guoyuan with both hands, and Ma Xin hurriedly said: "General Hou has followed the Marquis for many years, and the last general has just recently voted, so he cannot be regarded as it or not."

After looking at Ma Xin, Hou Guoyuan said to the black-faced general in front of him: "There is nothing to be considered. My Zhejiang King's Division can discuss privately about class, demolition, qualifications, etc., but it is not in public affairs. This time, the Marquis has a destiny. My Nantang Camp and the Special Operations Team wait for General Ma to be dispatched, so they will be dominated by General Ma."

"Been taught a lesson."

Although Ma Xin has understood the truth about this recently, he still dares not be proud of it. On the one hand, it is a habit that has been developed over the years, and on the other hand, it is necessary to be under Chen Wen's command in the future, so it is still more harmonious among his colleagues.

"The Marquis' plan must have been told to General Hou. Now that Nantang Camp has arrived, please send out some soldiers to the Haimen Guard to receive the Taizhou Navy."

After such great effort, Chen Wen's most important purpose was not the civil and military officials in Taizhou, nor did he take down Taizhou and Wenzhou in one go. What he wanted was the 3,000 Taizhou Navy, which was truly crucial for the Zhejiang Ming army, which was still under reconstruction.

Although Ma Xin was a surrendered general, Chen Wen had already ordered that he had been obeying Ma Xin's orders in this battle. Hou Guoyuan was the most core officer under Chen Wen's command, so he naturally had no words. That night, Ma Xin led a part of the army from Nantangying to Haimen Guard by boat, leaving Hou Guoyuan to take charge of the capital city, while another unit had already been waiting on the road.

When the seaguard approached, the sky had not yet brightened, and a member of a special operation team following Ma Xin released a secret code as agreed and recruited another part of the special operation team that was ambushing here.

"Captain Luo, can the Tartars, the head of the Haimen guard notice it?"

This time, the special operations team's mission was not only to assist Ma Xin in the city, but also to guard near the Sea Gate Guard to intercept the messenger.

"It shouldn't be true. Everything in the Acropolis is as usual. In the past two days, anyone who went to the Sea Guards was arrested and detained by our troops."

These days, the remaining sixty people from the Special Operations Team guarded the Lingjiang River and intercepted all the personnel who went to the Haimen Guard. Especially those who looked like messengers, they would rather kill them by mistake and never let them pass, in case the news of the change in the Mansion City reached the Haimen Guard. Fortunately, there was a lot of time, but in the past two days, Ma Xin detained all the civil and military officials in the Mansion City, took over the various yamen, and closed the city gate. The pressure on the Special Operations Team was not too great, just in case.

After seeing the captives, Ma Xin hurriedly brought several officers into the city, while Nantangying was on standby at the ambush of the special operations team.

After entering the Acropolis, everything was as usual. The ships in the water village were fewer than they thought. However, Ma Xin didn't care. Most of the ships played pirates on the coast, or were simply engaged in sea trade. Even smaller ones could go out to fish and go out to sea to earn some extra money when they didn't fight. Even when they arrived at the Beiyang Navy, this was the unspoken rule of the navy, so naturally it was no big deal.

Ma Xin came in person and only brought these few officers. The officers of the left-behind Central Camp and the guerrillas in the Left Camp were all uneasy, especially when the navy general had already been ordered to go to the city, the conspiracy here was too strong.

"To be honest, the Marquis of Anyuan of the King of Zhejiang has sent a large army into Taizhou Prefecture. The general is determined to surrender to the Ming Dynasty. Now, as the vanguard, Nantang Camp, has been stationed in the prefecture. What do you think?"

A stone fell into the water, and the waves had not yet risen, but they sank straight into the bottom of the water. When the navy officers present heard Ma Xin's words, they looked at Ma Xin in amazement. Instead, they knew the inside story of Ma Xin's request for the navy general to leave and immediately reacted.

"Dare you ask General Ma, is my general still safe?"

"General Ma is here, but is he going to force us to rebel?"

Compared with the guerrillas in Zuoying who had been in Taizhou for a long time, the central army guards of the central army were the confidants of the navy general. Their first reaction was to ask his generals what they were like.

"It's OK."

When they learned that their general was not dead, the officers in the middle camp all breathed a sigh of relief, even the officers in the left camp were like this. Looking at their colleagues around them, the right hand of the guerrilla guerrillas on the sword did not relax.

At this moment, Ma Xin brought only four officers in the lobby. Although he always seemed to think that these guys were not easy to play with, there were more than a dozen officers in the Taizhou Navy here, and he still had a chance of winning. If he left the lobby, the entire General Office and the entire Haimen Guard were all soldiers of their Taizhou Navy, and it was impossible for Ma Xin to escape.

Whether to surrender or kill Ma Xin and the people he brought with him is a big problem.

After raising troops, he would have to follow the Ming Dynasty. In other words, he could only make a living in the Ming army in Zhejiang. But if Ma Xin was killed, Taizhou Green Camp surrendered to Ming, and Nantang Camp had already entered the capital city, it would be impossible to defend the Haimen Guard. He could only take a boat to escape. Most of the soldiers in the army were local soldiers in Taizhou, for fear of unstable morale. Moreover, if Ma Xin dared to bring these people to come, he must have made preparations long ago. God knows what it would be.

In a blink of an eye, countless thoughts flipped into Zuoying Guerrilla's head, weighing back and forth, so that the sweat on his face had attracted almost everyone's eyes to him.

After swallowing, the guerrillas in the Zuoying asked, "General Ma claimed that my general is safe, is there any evidence?"

The guerrilla words in Zuoying were clearly implicit. If the navy general was not spared, they might not be able to end up with the Ming army. As soon as this was said, the officers of the water camp who had already breathed a sigh of relief turned their eyes back to Ma Xin, and they could not help but press their hands on the hilt of the sword and the hilt of the knife.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the lobby was already on the strings, and it was about to break out. The breathing of both sides became heavier. The officers brought by Ma Xin were already winking at each other and choosing the target to start.

"I knew it would be like this."

The next moment, Ma Xin pushed away an officer blocking him and took out a letter from his arms. However, he did not hand it over to the guerrillas of the Zuoying camp, but instead gave it to the Central Army guards of the Central Army, and clearly stated that this person could identify whether there was any mistake.

The central army guard in the central camp took the letter, read it several times, then used colors to the several central camp officers around him, and knelt down in front of Ma Xin on one knee.

"The low-ranking ranks obey the orders."

The navy general wanted to save his family and his tribe members by death, but Ma Xin did not do as he wished. Because he knew very well that if he wanted to collect the Taizhou navy, the navy general had a great effect, so he asked someone to take him into custody, saying that the Taizhou affairs were always chosen by him and would never stop him. As for this letter, it was indeed written by the navy general. The current power of the Ming army in Zhejiang did not want those confidants to die in this battle without any hesitation.

However, for the guerrillas in the Left Camp, the officers of the Central Camp should follow whose orders, the general of the Navy was still Ma Xin, and it was impossible for him to be. Just now, he asked about the safety of the general of the Navy, and he had always used this to receive the ambitions in his hand. However, Ma Xin did not give him a chance, and he could not bring a letter, and he also handed it directly to the officers of the Central Camp. It was obvious that he had already expected it, and he saw his plans at this moment.

"Please get up, everyone." He helped the officers from the central camp up, and Ma Xin turned to the left camp. "Where are you?"

The number of people was no longer superior, but the Zuoying guerrillas were still hesitant, but at this moment, one of his personal soldiers rushed in and shouted the shocking news that "Nantangying has reached the city."

Nantang Camp is here!

In the lobby, there was a sudden surprise, and even the eyes of the officers in the middle camp began to float. The officers in the left camp even held swords and long swords in their hands, confronting the officers brought by Ma Xin.

"I brought Nantang Camp, but I was just a forward. Hou Guoyuan is in the capital now, but there are still people who don't believe it?"

Compared with Chen Wen's generals, especially Li Ruixin, who was famous for crossing Lingxi to defeat the Superbiao camp, and Yin Yue, who was known as defending Jinhua with a small force, who was known as defending for a night with the eight banners of the Han army, Hou Guoyuan was just a newly emerging general, but this order in Nantang Camp was enough to shock these Qing generals.

From beginning to end, Ma Xin had no intention of relying on these special operations teams to subdue the officers of the Water Camp, and took them with them, just in case. At this moment, the banner of Nantang Camp had appeared. The officers of the Water Camp had no courage to resist under Ma Xin's strong confidence. They threw down their weapons one by one and fell to Ma Xin's front.

"The last general and others follow the orders of Ma Shuai."

……………………

The next day, the follow-up troops of Nantangying arrived at the Fucheng. According to the agreement, part of them followed Hou Guolong north to Ninghai to guard against the Qing army in the Ningbo direction, while the other part stayed behind the Fucheng to take charge, taking care of these Taizhou navy troops, waiting for the garrison drawn by Chen Wen to arrive in Taizhou for defense.

After the advance troops of Nantangying took over the Haimen Guard, Ma Xin led a team of Ruishi from the special operation team to Taiping County. He had sent a messenger to invite Wenzhou deputy general Hu Laijin to discuss military affairs.

Taiping County was established during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty. Later generations changed it to Wenling because they were named after many Taiping counties in other provinces. The other name was Wenjiaoling in the west of the city. Taiping County is the southernmost county among the six counties in Taizhou, but it is also the ground of Taizhou, not Wenzhou. Hu Lai Jin made a mistake of leaving the land of faith without permission.

Fortunately, no one has the heart to take care of this now. Taizhou and Wenzhou are all under the military front of the Ming army. There are nearly 10,000 Green Camp soldiers in Ningbo north of Taizhou, but Funingzhou, Fujian south of Wenzhou, only one town with 3,000 people, and one thousand of them are still newly expanded. In a hurry, I am afraid that the guard camp in Qingtian is not as useful as the city guards in Qingtian. At least there are Jiancheng and the unfinished bastions to rely on. The Qing army in the two places can survive only by joining together to keep warm, and even the civil servants in charge of the local area have no objection to discuss military affairs together.

When Hu Laijin arrived in Taiping County, Ma Xin had been waiting for a long time. The taste of Taizhou seemed to be wrong, but for Hu Laijin, last year's Qingtian defense battle and this year's attack on Chuzhou, Ma Xin was far more reliable than those Fujian green camps. He had participated in the Battle of Shentangyuan, and he had long lost the ** of the Ming army's field battle, so it became inevitable.

"I'm not hiding my good brother, my good brother has already joined the Ming Dynasty. Now the head coach of the King of Zhejiang Kings, Marquis Chen, is here to invite my good brothers to participate in the grand event."

Seeing Ma Xin take off his helmet and reveal the bare monk's head with his whip cut, it was not until a long time later that Hu Laijin sighed.

"Brother Ma, I don't look back when I shoot the bow. It seems that I can't change this sect." (To be continued.)
