Chapter 104 Poaching corners (seeking subscription support)
The "East Lake Victory" can be regarded as a classic battle example of using infantry to overcome cavalry. Although it shows that the army has used superior forces and favorable terrain, it is an upright field duel after all, and it has accumulated a wealth of experience for the Ming army to fight against the Eight Banners cavalry in the next step.

Qian Mo said: "Now that Tian Xiong is dead, we have stripped off the only piece of clothing left by this "big girl" in Shaoxing City. Who will tear off the last bellyband?"

Before Huang Yu compared Shaoxing City to a big girl, everyone laughed!

Qian Mo said: "Hong Fugui listened to the order, ordering you to lead 2000 cavalry to deal with the remaining infantry of Tian Xiong's troops."

Hong Fugui couldn't hold back for a long time, and said: "The final general will definitely wipe out this Qing army."

Qian Mo said: "Take Tian Xiong's head with you, attack the heart first, kill a wave and immediately surrender. We are short of soldiers and labor."

"Remember, just recover Shangyu and Yuyao counties, don't cross the border of Shaoxing Prefecture to attack Cixi County."

After Hong Fugui left, Lu Shanhai asked: "Now is the time for us to shoot the land, why didn't the governor take down Cixi County together?"

Qian Mo looked at Huang Yu and said, "Mr. Huang, tell me, why don't we take Cixi County?"

Huang Yu said: "Governor Qian wanted to avoid friction with Marquis Dingxi, so he didn't take Cixi County under Ningbo Mansion."

Qian Mo said: "This is just one of the reasons. Huang Binqing from Zhoushan also won Cixi County for a while, let them fight, and we won't participate."

Now that it has begun to border on other Ming army territories, it is no longer a purely cooperative relationship.There will be more and more friction in the future, and Qian Mo must also make his subordinates have some awareness of prevention.

So guide them from time to time to lay the foundation for the complicated political struggles in the future.

"You can have the intention to harm others, but you must have the intention to guard against others!"

Qian Mo led 4000 people from the Shenji Camp and the remaining 2000 people from the Chongming Camp to surround Shaoxing City from three directions.

From Qian Mo's point of view, Shaoxing City is now like a "big girl" who has been stripped of her clothes, isn't she just letting herself handle it?
Zhu Xu, the magistrate of Shaoxing, a frail scholar with no strength to restrain a chicken, why should he use his sword again?
In the south of Shaoxing City, Liu Yichen held a tin trumpet and shouted: "Prefect Zhu, Tian Xiong, the admiral of Zhejiang Province, has already wiped out the entire army. There are only three thousand soldiers in Shaoxing City. You should return as soon as possible, so as not to step down from Xiao Qiyuan's army." follow suit."

Zhu Xu is a Han from Liaodong.During this period, the Manchu Qing did not trust the Han people in the south, and appointed many Liaodong Han people as high-ranking officials in the south of the Yangtze River, which also caused many conflicts between the former Ming officials who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and the Liaodong Han people.

However, if only from the perspective of loyalty to the Manchu Qing, the Liaodong Han people are indeed slightly better than these former Ming officials, especially these officials of the Han Army Banner, who have successfully squeezed into the ruling class of "banner people".Naturally, they will not surrender at every turn like those local officials in Jiangnan.

If Zhu Xu was a native of Shaoxing, he would have opened the city gate to welcome Wang Shi into the city.

Facing the aggressive Ming army under the city, Zhu Xu knew that Shaoxing City's troops would be irresistible, but he was not ready to surrender at this time, but ordered Wang Yi and others who had been captured before to be taken to the head of Shaoxing City!
Zhu Xugao shouted: "Zhu knows that he does not have the skills of Governor Xiao, and cannot stop Governor Qian's army from attacking the city, but Zhu wants to make a deal with Governor Qian."

"As long as Governor Qian promises to be lenient, let the officials and soldiers in Shaoxing City who are willing to follow Zhu go south out of the city. I will not destroy everything in Shaoxing Mansion, including the treasury money and food."

"If Governor Qian refuses to agree to Zhu's request, then Zhu will behead the captured Ming bandit Wang Yi and others at the top of the city, and then die with Shaoxing Mansion."

Hearing what Zhu Xu said, Qian Mo was also taken aback, thinking: This Zhu Xu is really a nerd, although you are a Han army flag, but lost the city and lost the land, even if you run back to the Qing Dynasty, what will happen to you?Even if you can save your head, you will inevitably be criticized.

But this nerd really created a problem for himself.

Qian Mo didn't care about the few remnants of the defeated generals in Shaoxing City, he could destroy them at any time if he let them go.But if this is the case, the Qing officials behind will arrest some anti-Qing righteous people at every turn, and then use the household registration information of the state capital and treasury materials as threats to negotiate terms, which is not good.

If Qian Mo didn't agree, maybe this nerd would really kill Wang Yi and the others to die.After all, this Wang Yi is also very talented, and it is also related to the next step to appease the rebels in Zhejiang.

Although Qian Mo didn't like that hypocritical Liu Da'er, he still cherished his reputation. Saving Wang Yi and others would also earn him a good reputation.

The lesser of two evils, even if Qian Mo didn't want to be controlled by others, he could only compromise once.

So Qian Mo said: "Prefect Zhu, Qian Mo can agree to your transaction request."

"Qian Mo, governor of Suhu Lake in the Ming Dynasty, solemnly promises that as long as the prefect Zhu does not harm Wang Yi and other anti-Qing rebels, and does not intentionally damage the Shaoxing government treasury, I can allow Shaoxing officials and soldiers to follow you south to Jinhua voluntarily, and will never send troops to chase you along the way. kill you."

Seeing that Qian Mo agreed, Zhu Xu said: "Governor Qian, let's make a deal. I will leave the city in half an hour. Governor Qian can take over Shaoxing Mansion by himself."

Most of the soldiers in Shaoxing City are locals, and not many people are willing to follow Zhu Xu to the south.But those traitorous officials in the city were afraid of being liquidated by the Ming army, so most of them followed Zhu Xu out of the city.

In the end, 3000 of the 2000 Qing troops in the city surrendered directly to the Ming army.

Shaoxing, as the big mansion in eastern Zhejiang, has sufficient money and food in the treasury.Although there are only more than 3 taels of silver in the warehouse, there are a full 20 shi of grain.

Liu Yichen said: "Now that the wars are tense everywhere, and the price of food has risen even higher, it seems that the food of the Qing army in eastern Zhejiang has been concentrated in Shaoxing Prefecture, which has given us a big bargain."

Qian Mo said: "We have to thank Zhu Xu, a nerd, but he brought 1000 soldiers to the south, and he probably won't end well. The intelligence department should pay more attention to Zhu Xu's eastward movement after he goes south."

Liu Yichen said: "There are already spies from the intelligence department going south with Zhu Xu, and news will come as soon as possible. It's just that Ma Degong of Jinhua has a very ambiguous attitude now, neither agreeing anyway nor refusing.

Qian Mo said: "I thought he was worried about the matter anyway because he once betrayed Emperor Hongguang with Tian Xiong. I didn't expect that he would still have this attitude after getting the promise from His Highness Jian Guo not to pursue it. It seems This person has other ideas."

"The intelligence department must always pay attention to Jinhua's movements, especially Yang Wenqi's return to the Qing Dynasty in Taizhou, which will also have an impact on Ma Degong. Jinhua is located in the center of Zhejiang and is surrounded by enemies. For the time being, I have no intention of getting involved. Ma Degong's functions remain relatively neutral. It is also a good result.”

"The situation in Shaoxing is still quite complicated. The forces of all parties are intertwined. Now the Qing army has been driven away by us. The next step is to subdue Yu Guowang from Tiantai Mountain and Wang Yi from Dalan Mountain before Zhang Mingzhen. It is urgent."

Wang Yi is a well-known anti-Qing general. In history, he was named the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War by the King of Lu. He is also a capable person who has made great achievements in both military and political fields. Fortunately, Zhang Mingzhen has not officially recruited him yet, so Qian Mo hurried to find him. Corner!
Wang Yi was captured by an arrow before, and now his body has not recovered, so Qian Mote went to visit him.

At this time, Wang Yi was very weak. Seeing Qian Mo coming to visit in person, he stood up forcibly and wanted to pack his luggage with Qian Mo.Qian Mo hurriedly said: "Brother Wanxun (Wang Yi's name is Wanxun) is not healed yet, don't get up, it won't heal if you pull the wound!"

Wang Yi said: "Wang Yi was defeated and captured. It was all thanks to Governor Qian for his rescue. He should have gone to thank him. I don't want to bother Governor Qian to come to visit in person. It's really rude!"

Qian Mo said: "It's a pity that I missed my trip back to Xiaoshan from the new city. If I could arrive an hour earlier, the rebels in Dalanshan would not have suffered."

Hearing what Qian Mo said, Wang Yi felt even more uncomfortable, and said, "It's Wang Yi who insisted on going his own way and harmed the brothers."

Qian Mo said: "I heard from Monk Li that in order to force Tian Xiong to return to the army, Brother Wan Xun resolutely led the army north regardless of the dangers. Qian Mo admires this kind of mind."

Wang Yi said: "Wang, a person who was captured by the defeated army, should not be praised by Governor Qian so much."

"Governor Qian has conquered several prefectures in northern Zhejiang and wiped out countless powerful enemies. He is a role model for my generation and the hope of Ming ZTE!"

Qian Mo said: "At the beginning, I was also captured by the Qing army, and I did not hesitate to surrender myself to Hong Chengchou's sect, but these could not stop my determination to fight against the Qing and restore the Ming!"

"I've always heard from Zhang Cangshui that Wang Yi of Dalan Mountain is strict in his army, loved by the people, and has extraordinary knowledge! Qian Mo has long wanted to know each other, and it's a great honor to meet Sansheng today."

Wang Yi was a little embarrassed by what Qian Mo said, and asked, "Governor Qian and Brother Cangshui also know each other?"

Qian Mo said: "When I was in Chongming at the beginning of this year, I made a plan for Huzhou to raise troops and counterattack eastern Zhejiang with Brother Cangshui and Marquis Dingxi."

At this time, Wang Yi was a little excited, and said: "Governor Qian always predicts the enemy first, Wang Yi admires it!"

"I wonder what Governor Qian thinks about the current situation?"

The opportunity Qian Mo wanted to show off finally came, and he said: "The Manchu Qing court reused Liaodong Han people, which caused dissatisfaction among many former Ming officials. Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren in Jiangxi were forced to rebel by Jiangxi governor Zhang Yutian."

"Today Tong Yangjia, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, does not have much credit, but occupies such a high position, which will inevitably arouse the dissatisfaction of Li Chengdong, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. I think Guangdong is likely to become the second Jiangxi."

Wang Yi's news is relatively closed. He doesn't know anything about Guangdong, but he just thinks that Qian Mo's analysis is very reasonable.He only focuses on the Zhejiang battlefield, but Qian Mo can see thousands of miles away and dare to predict the direction of major events, which makes Wang Yi very admired.

So he said: "Wang Yi is really ignorant about Guangdong and Guangxi. If Guangdong can be like Jiangxi, then God will bless me."

"I wonder what Governor Qian thinks about the current situation in Jiangxi?"

Qian Mo said: "Jin Shenghuan's going south to Ganzhou is really absurd. I invited Jin Shenghuan to go north to recover Nanjing with me at the first time, but unfortunately he only sent Jiang Riguang's partial division, and he is still fighting for Huizhou with the Qing army. If Nanjing is captured , Jiangnan is bound to shake, and Jin Shenghuan missed the opportunity."

"Even if you don't send troops to Nanjing, you should send troops to Wuchang, and attack Huguang together with He Tengjiao. If Huguang is in your hands, the situation in Jiangnan can also be changed."

Wang Yi said excitedly: "It's really a hero who sees the same thing. Governor Qian and I have the same thoughts."

"It's just that there are not many soldiers in southern Jiangxi. Jin Shenghuan claims to have 30 troops. It shouldn't be a big problem to win Ganzhou. There should be time to go north again!"

Hearing what Wang Yi said, Qian Mo thought to himself, who would have expected that in history, Jin Shenghuan with 30 troops would not be able to win Ganzhou with only 6000 troops?This time I helped him search for grain in Ganzhou in advance, but it has been two months and there is still no news of conquering Ganzhou.

Qian Mo said: "I don't think so. Ganzhou faces the river on three sides, is a famous fortified city, and is equipped with a large number of artillery. Jin Shenghuan has not captured it so far. Maybe there will be variables?"

"Now that Tan Tai and He Luohui have led a large number of Eight Banners troops to the south, if Jin Shenghuan can't capture Ganzhou in time, the Qing army who goes north to defend and goes south may suffer a big loss."

Wang Yi said worriedly: "Wang's news is closed, not as good as Governor Qian's intelligence. If this is the case, Jiangxi will be in danger!"

Qian Mo said: "So I don't have much time to stay in Zhejiang, I must end the war in Shaoxing as soon as possible, so as to free up troops to help Jin Shenghuan."

"I don't know if brother Wanxun is willing to be the prefect of Shaoxing and lead the military and political affairs of the Shaoxing government?"

Originally, Wang Yi and Zhang Huangyan had a good relationship, and he accepted Zhang Mingzhen's assignment, so he didn't want to work under Qian Mo.However, through talking to Wang Yi, he found that Qian Mo had the same interests as him, especially now that the Qing army in Zhejiang was empty, Qian Mo was willing to give up this good opportunity to "catch territory" and go to Jiangxi to help Jin Shenghuan.It can be seen that Qian Mo is also a person with a strong outlook on the overall situation, and he is very angry with Wang Yi!

Wang Yi said: "Thanks to Governor Qian's perseverance, Wang Yi is willing to serve as the prefect of Shaoxing!"

Then the two chatted for a long time. From the general situation of the world to the land tax, it can be said that they talked about everything, and the two also became confidants to each other.

Qian Mo's plan to form an ocean-going caravan, build a business district in Hangzhou, and create a business capital is even more amazing!

Finally, Qian Mo said: "Then form a 2000-strong Kuaiji battalion with the 4000 Qing troops who surrendered in Shaoxing and the Dalanshan Rebel Army under Brother Wan Xun as the team."

"My Suhu Governor's Mansion has always implemented a system of separating military and political affairs. Local officials are only in charge of civil affairs and not involved in the military. However, Brother Wan Xun is a rare military and political talent. I decided to make an exception for you. You will directly serve as the commander-in-chief of the Kuaiji Battalion .”

Qian Mo didn't give Wang Yi a chance to refuse, and said, "Don't doubt the employment, don't use the suspect, brother Wan Xun, don't refuse, so that I can lead my troops to Jiangxi with confidence!"

The two had known each other for less than half a day. Qian Mo was able to put his heart to heart and entrust him with such a heavy responsibility. Wang Yi was also very moved. He said: "You treat me like a gentleman of the country, and I will repay you as a gentleman of the country!"
