A few days later, the imperial envoy of the Lu Supervisor returned with Wang Xiuquan. At this time, in the temporary camp of the remaining Ming army in Dalan Mountain on Tiantai Mountain, Chen Wen, a powerful general who was hailed as "Emperor Gao protects Lu Supervisor" by a minister of a Lu Supervisor court, was enduring another powerful general of the Ming army in Dalan Mountain - the commander of Mao Mingshan, and waves of spitting stars.

"General Chen, you asked the person named Xu to send a letter. After so long, Tian Xiong has not seen him reply to the letter. What does this mean?"

After receiving Chen Wen's letter, Mao Mingshan led his troops to cover the retreat of the people, but he was not as clever as Chen Wen, and without the full cooperation of the officials of the Dalanshan Old Camp, he had to forcefully take the people away.

When we set out from Simingshan Town, there were nearly 4,000 people, including the Houbasket. Along the way, we had never encountered a large number of Qing troops. However, not only did not increase, but it was still nearly half less. Even the Houbasket soldiers fled more than one-third. In addition to the lack of systematic management of Mao Mingshan, the team heading south, it also has a certain relationship with his forcibly recruiting the people this time.

Chen Wen set out from Dalan Mountain and took away many people along the way. When he arrived at Tiantai Mountain, he had already reached eight or nine thousand people. After Mao Mingshan arrived, he brought more than two thousand people.

The Ming army in Dalan Mountain brought out more than 10,000 Simingshan people. These people were rescued from the knife point of the Qing army encircled and suppressed the anti-Qing base in Simingshan in the fourth year of Yongli, but livelihood also became a bigger problem.

These people are all human beings, and they will starve to death without food. They cannot carry much surplus food during their escape. They even have not much surplus food to carry. It has been several months since then, and most of the food has been eaten. Many people are looking for food in the wilderness every day to fill their stomachs. If it weren't for the old camp in Dalanshan who opened a porridge camp to provide relief, I was afraid that starving people to death might not have happened.

Although some people have been arranged to open up land and have asked Yu Guowang, the commander of the Ming army in Tiantai Mountain to ask for some sponsorship, the food and grass brought from the old camp is still constantly consumed in such relief work, and it has even affected Chen Wen's new round of military expansion plan.

The Ming army in Dalan Mountain has no base, and now the Tiantai Mountain where they live is not reclaimed much land to support these people. At this time, Chen Wen was studying countermeasures with Wang Jiang. After all, if this continues, it will only completely drag down the remaining troops of the surviving Ming army. But at this moment, Mao Mingshan came to the camp and raised the question of rescuing Wang Yi again.

"Will we go and contact the Tartars again, or find out where Wang Jingluo was detained, so that we can rescue him."

rescue?

Hearing this word, Chen Wen couldn't help but sigh. Since he learned that he was deceived by Xu Lei, Chen Wen has found that he had entered a dead end.

His previous plan was to exchange the captured Wang Yi with Tian Xiong's beloved general Li Rong, and coupled with the problems of Li Ruixin's mother and young sister, he asked Xu Lei to deliver the letter, which was a killing two birds with one stone. However, on the way south, he learned the truth about the captured man from Li Rong's mouth, so Chen Wen was still complacent about this plan and actually trapped him directly.

Chen Wen felt that even with his knees, he could figure it out clearly. Although the Ming officials with such status as Wang Yi did not know where they were imprisoned, the Qing army must have heavy troops to guard them. After Xu Lei returned, the Li family and his daughter must have been monitored and even secretly imprisoned.

Chen Wen asked himself that he did not think that he and his men had the ability of Liangshan heroes in "Water Margin". He not only robbed prison cars, prisons, or even made a big fuss in Tokyo Bianliang City, privately met with Song Huizong's mistress and stole into the palace with such great powers that even if he took a few officers to Hangzhou, he could not guarantee that he could enter the city alive.

In this way, if you want to rescue Wang Yi, the only way for the Ming army is to exchange Li Rong, a Qing army officer with close identity, and the initiative to exchange or not is still in the hands of Tian Xiong; if Tian Xiong agrees to exchange and releases Li Rong, Xu Lei will definitely die; once Xu Lei dies, the fate of the mother and daughter of the Li family will be self-evident...

What should I do if I use Li Rong to exchange for Wang Yi?

What should I do if Li Rong doesn’t need to change to Wang Yi?

After a roundabout way, Chen Wen found that no matter what he did, he could not escape the condemnation of his conscience. So, after seeing Wang Jiang, Chen Wen secretly told Wang Jiang all the ins and outs of it, trying to get an answer with the best of both worlds from the deputy of Wang Yi, the commander of the Ming Army of Dalanshan, who had always been resourceful.

However, after Wang Jiang heard all this, the hope that Wang Yi had not died in his eyes was shattered and he did not mention this matter again. When other officials in Dalanshan suspected that Xu Lei might have died on the road so that the letter had not been sent and should have contacted the Qing army again, Wang Jiang just faced it silently.

Listening to Mao Mingshan's questioning, he knew very well that Mao Mingshan was from Wang Yi to the commander-in-chief. This person's loyalty to Wang Yi was not comparable to that of modern people like Chen Wen who were born in an era that did not pay attention to loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness.

However, Wang Yi's life and death were powerless, but the rescued people still had to survive, so Chen Wen had to use his usual tricks again to try to perfunctory Mao Mingshan so that he could continue to discuss these problems that had a chance to be solved.

"Ship Mao, whether to exchange Wang Jingluo for Li Rong is a big deal for the Tartars, and it will not be so easy to decide. Even if I no longer consider the exchange, I have to first know where Wang Jingluo was detained. How could I decide at once?"

Seeing that Chen Wen was about to use his old tricks to perfunctory, Mao Mingshan immediately became furious. "General Chen, I asked you the day before yesterday, you said this, you still said this, and I asked you today, you said this, you still said this, and I am still trying to save Jinglei Wang?!"

If you are not in charge of your family, you don’t know that the firewood and rice are expensive. Even if this problem is mainly caused by Wang Jiang, Chen Wen is very clear that the history of the fourth year of Yongli has changed little, which is definitely not enough to change the Qing army’s plan to siege Zhoushan this year. Although the Ming army lost to an accident in Zhoushan, this accident was almost impossible to avoid.

In this way, this year is Chen Wen's last chance and the last chance for the anti-Qing movement in Zhejiang. If he cannot quickly occupy a base to grow and grow, then he will only be left to hide in the mountains, trembling and going to Fujian to invest in Zheng Chenggong.

If you want to grow and grow, you must launch an attack on the Qing army-occupied area. However, if the people starve to death on Tiantai Mountain due to the sending of troops, whether it is out of personal conscience or the purpose of protecting the people since they formed an army with Nantangying, this is something that Chen Wen cannot accept. The current situation has made him anxious, so how can he continue to appease Mao Mingshan's emotions?

"Mao Shuai, General Mao said again. Whether to change or not is not the final decision. If you have any questions, you should ask Tian Xiong, the dog thief. As for the place where the detention is held, General Mao has sent someone to investigate. The mountains are high and the road is far away. General Mao is not a god, so he can't figure out when it can be found. And even if it is found out, General Mao will not be in the danger of being wiped out in the army to save people. Wang Jingluo established this Dalanshan King's Army to recover lost territory, not to rob the prison cart like the Liangshan bandits!"

Chen Wen slapped the table and angrily met Mao Mingshan. The two of them were full of gunpowder. Even the personal soldiers from both sides rushed in to try to protect their respective generals.

Seeing this, Wang Jiang quickly got up to do peace and rushed out the personal soldiers of both sides, and then comforted Chen Wen with two words on the left and Mao Mingshan with two words on the right, and finally persuaded Chen Wen to sit down again. But Mao Mingshan has always been a hot temper. Since Chen Wen has shown that he will not waste his energy to rescue Wang Yi, he turned around and left, but a full of anger also reached Chen Wen and Wang Jiang's ears as he walked out of the door.

"If you don't go and save it, you will save it yourself!"

"If he wants to go, let him go, and Vice-Chan ignores it."

When Wang Jiang heard Mao Mingshan's words, he wanted to chase him out and dissuade him, but Chen Wen pulled him back and had to continue to study the matter of food and grass.

The relationship between Chen Wen and Mao Mingshan was originally very good. I didn’t mention it when I was in Dalan Mountain. After I arrived at Tiantai Mountain, I cooperated with each other to settle the people. However, Wang Yi’s capture led to the conflict between the two. In fact, if Chen Wen did not know this history, he might have to rescue Wang Yi like Mao Mingshan. But it was precisely because of these imminent reality that he had to put the restoration of lost territory first. After all, if we do not change, the suffering of hundreds of years in the next few years will come as he knows, and everything he did will be completely in vain.

After Mao Mingshan left, Chen Wen and Wang Jiang discussed for a long time, but did not come up with a practical plan to use the limited grain and grass in the grain warehouse to balance the two major events of the Dalanshan Ming army. So Chen Wen had to turn around and say goodbye and go back to deal with the matters that had been entrusted to Sun Yu for help in the investigation.

After leaving Wang Jiang's residence, Chen Wen went straight to the warehouse of the temporary old camp. The temporary camp in Tiantai Mountain was taken over from Yu Guowang. When Wang Yi was chased by Fubiao Camp, he set up camp here to overcome the difficulties. This time, Yu Guowang handed over the camp to Wang Jiang and Chen Wen again, which is also a kind of inheritance.

However, it has been very rare for a long time, and the entire camp seems quite simple. After a few months of coming here, Wang Jiang renovated the camp by using labor instead of relief. Of course, some things are definitely not as simple as rectification.

"Master Sun, can you find out which person who is ignorant of life and death dares to be corrupt and seize the military supplies?"
