Chapter 52
To be honest, the amount of money and grain far exceeded Qian Mo's expectations.

In addition to money and food, there are a lot of ordnance, gunpowder, cotton cloth and other materials.

Wu Qi's Taihu camp had to draw out 200 people, plus 400 family members and young and strong tenants from Tianjiazhuang, to escort them to Taihu Lake by water overnight.

It took a whole night to delay the original plan.

Originally, Qian Mo planned to ask Master Tian to send a letter to Jiaxing City overnight, to lure the Qing soldiers to Tianjiazhuang to take the opportunity to wipe them out, and then to seek Jiaxing City.

Fortunately, this Tianjiazhuang is so heavily guarded that even flies cannot fly out. Otherwise, after this night, someone might slip out and report the news.

Qian Mo is not worried about the servants and tenants in this group of escorts. After all, there are enough soldiers on each ship, and there are a fixed number of these servants and tenants on each ship. Kill them all, and kill their family members who stayed in the village."

Of course, there is one ship that is an exception. Not only are there fewer soldiers than other ships, but there is no such threat.

Sure enough, not long after departure, the soldiers on board found that there was one person missing on board, and he must have swam from the river to report to Jiaxing Mansion.

So the news quickly spread back to Qian Mo.

Qian Mo smiled and said to Mr. Tian: "It seems that some servants in your village are not afraid of death, and they slipped out to report to your son."

Looking at Qian Mo with a hippie smile, Master Tian shuddered a little, and was not at all happy about sending the news.

He didn't know what bad idea the demon in front of him was thinking.

Master Tian said tremblingly: "I didn't instigate this. You said that as long as you hand over the money and food, you will spare my life."

Qian Mo said with a smile: "What kind of person does Mr. Tian think of me? Am I the kind of person who doesn't believe what he says?"

"Not only will I not kill you, but I will also commend you. You have contributed so much money and food to my Taihu Rebel Army. Can I say no?"

So Qian Mo brought Master Tian to Zhuangzi's front yard, and in front of everyone, branded the four characters "Anti-Qing and Fuming" on his face.

And the person responsible for branding is none other than Master Tian's "little concubine" Wang Yadan who has not yet come to court.

There is nothing better than killing one's heart, Qian Mo thinks this is a good move, and all the big traitors who "donate" the rebels will have to do this in the future.

One day he will brand Hong Chengchou's face with the four characters "anti-Qing and Fuming".

Qian Mo's actions not only frightened Mr. Tian, ​​but also shocked the other 8 people at the same table. Everyone expressed their willingness to redeem people with money.

But Qian Mo reassured everyone, saying: "Father and son of the Tian family have brought disaster to the village, exploited the common people, surrendered to the enemy and betrayed the country, and worked for tigers, so they must be severely punished."

"Although the rest of the people have the intention of making friends and clinging to the Tian family, they are not guilty of this. After this incident, they will be released without paying a ransom."

"If you are willing to donate, we also welcome it!"

Indeed, two businessmen secretly expressed their willingness to help the rebel army purchase supplies privately, and Qian Mo also said that he would purchase according to the market price, so that the businessmen would not lose money.

Jiaxing is the birthplace of the Majiabang Culture in the Neolithic Age. 7000 years ago, the ancestors of the city were engaged in farming, animal husbandry, fishing and hunting.In the Spring and Autumn Period, the name of this place was Changshui, also known as Quli, where the Wu and Yue countries competed.

During the Warring States Period, it was included in the territory of Chu.Qin Zhiyouquan County and Haiyan County belong to Kuaiji County.

During the Han Dynasty, the sea was boiled for salt, and the farmland was used for food.During the period of the Three Kingdoms period, Wu State dominated the east of the Yangtze River, and Yanguan County was set up in the south of Youquan County and the west of Haiyan County.

In the third year of Wu Huanglong (231 A.D.), it was "produced by boxing and wild rice". Sun Quan, the great emperor of Wu, thought it was auspicious, so he changed the name of boxing to Hexing, and in the fifth year of Chiwu (242), it was renamed Jiaxing.During the Jin Dynasty and the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Jiaxing was further developed, "one year old or counties forget hunger".

The Sui Dynasty excavated the Jiangnan River, that is, the Grand Canal from Hangzhou to Zhenjiang via Jiaxing, which brought benefits to Jiaxing for irrigation.In the tenth year of Tianbao (751) of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, he analyzed the east of Jiaxing County and part of the jurisdiction of Haiyan, Kunshan and other counties and established Huating County.

In the Tang Dynasty, there were 27 garrison fields in Jiaxing. "Three villages in the west of Zhejiang, Jiahe is the largest." Jiaxing has become an important grain-producing area in southeast China. .

During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, Wuyue State set up Kaiyuan Mansion in Jiaxing, leading the three counties of Jiaxing, Haiyan, and Huating. It was the first time that Jiaxing established a state-level government.

In the fifth year of Tianfu, Emperor Gaozu of the Later Jin Dynasty (940), at the invitation of Qian Yuanguan, king of Wuyue, Xiuzhou was set up in Jiaxing, and four counties of Jiaxing, Haiyan, Huating, and Chongde were led.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, Xiuzhou was changed to Jiahe County. In the first year of Ningzong Qingyuan (1195) in the Southern Song Dynasty, the county was promoted to a government office, and later changed to Jiaxing Army.

In the 13th year of Yuan Shizu Zhiyuan (1276), Jiaxing Army was changed to Jiaxing Mansion Appeasement Department, and then it was promoted to Jiaxing Road General Manager's Mansion.

During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, Jiaxing had a relatively developed economy and was known as "a hundred craftsmanship and Suzhou and Hangzhou".Ports such as Zhapu, Ganpu, and Qinglong have frequent foreign trade, and shipping is booming.

In the fifth year of Xuande in the Ming Dynasty (1430), the northwestern border of Jiaxing County was classified as Xiushui County, and the northeast border was classified as Jiashan County; Haiyan County was classified as Pinghu County; Chongde County was classified as Tongxiang County. .Since then, the system of Jiaxing prefectures and counties has basically remained unchanged.

At that time, on the basis of the development of agriculture and handicraft industry, the commodity economy was flourishing day by day. Cotton cloth and silk were sold in the north and south, as far as overseas. According to the proverb of Puyuan Town, Tongxiang, "the daily production of [-] pieces of silk" is well-known.

Ming Hongzhi's "Jiaxing Mansion Records" records: "Jiaxing is a big mansion in western Zhejiang" and "a metropolis in the east of Jiangxi".

It can be said that Jiaxing at this time is second to none in the south of the Yangtze River, whether it is grain or textile industry.

And Tian Fulu, the magistrate of Jiaxing, made a lot of money!

Thinking of my father taking a concubine last night and earning tens of thousands of taels of silver, this money is really comfortable!
However, with the urgent report from the servant, Tian Zhifu's beautiful reverie was also interrupted.

I saw the servant Tian Hong shouting out of breath: "Young master, it's not good, the Tianjiazhuang was occupied by thieves last night, the master cut off one of his ears, and all the money and food in the village were transported away by the thieves!"

Tian Fulu couldn't believe his ears. Tianjiazhuang was heavily guarded and the servants were also well-equipped. Even if the government army went to attack, it would take a lot of effort. How could it be captured by bandits?
So Tian Hong told the story of how the thieves pretended to be guests and sneaked into Tianjiazhuang.

When Tian Fulu heard it, he was so angry that smoke came out of his seven orifices, and asked Tian Hong: "Are you sure there are only more than 200 bandits?"

Tian Hong said: "It is true that there were only 200 people who sneaked into Zhuangzi for the first time, and they were so skilled that they overwhelmed the servants as soon as they met each other."

Seeing that Tian Fulu was still hesitating, Tian Hong said in a crying voice: "Young master, you have to save the master. If it is too late, I am afraid that the thief will slaughter the village!"

At this time, the troops in Jiaxing City were not abundant. Tian Xiong led 5000 green battalions into Songjiang, and Jiaxing was transferred 1500 soldiers and horses to help defend Hangzhou. At this time, there were only 1500 people in the city.

For a prefectural city, this amount of troops is still quite empty, but fortunately, Jiaxing is not the front line, and the surrounding Hangzhou and Susong areas are heavily populated, so there is no need to station heavy troops.

So Tian Fulu recruited Wang Zaixing, deputy general of Jiaxing, and asked him to order 1000 soldiers and horses, and quickly followed him to Tianjiazhuang to quell the chaos.

He also asked Tian Hong to take two people to Jinshanwei to send a message, and asked his second brother to also lead troops to support.

It's broad daylight, even those thieves can't figure out any tricks, his Tian family is the "heaven" of Jiaxing, and someone really dares to break ground on Tai Sui's head.

I saw martial law in Jiaxing City, Tian Fulu and Wang Zaixing led 1000 green battalions to Tianjiazhuang in a hurry.

Tianjiazhuang is far from Jiaxing City, and it takes more than half an hour to walk and gallop. In fact, there is not a good place to ambush during the day.

Lu Shanhai also gave up the plan to ambush the Qing army directly on the way.

Instead, the troops leading the Chongming Battalion slowly followed them.

On the other road, Tian Hong was galloping in the direction of Jinshanwei with two soldiers.

Suddenly the horse was tripped, Tian Hong fell heavily to the ground, and the two soldiers behind him were killed by the shot of bows and arrows.

Tian Hong turned over and was about to draw his sword to resist when he was pushed down to the ground.

The man asked, "Tell me, did you send a message or a letter?"

Seeing that Tian Hong was silent, he immediately slapped him twice, making Tian Hong dizzy.

Another person said, "I searched, but there is no letter."

The person who followed Tian Hong said: "It's the same whether you say it or not, otherwise you think you can escape from the boat smoothly."

After finishing speaking, Tian Hong was killed with one blow.

At this time in Tianjiazhuang, Qian Mo led 300 people from Huang Yu's Shenji Battalion to stand firm in the village.

Zhang Xiaofan led 500 people from Jingnan Battalion to wait for the opportunity outside the village.

It can be said that at this time, except for the 100 people from the Jingnan Camp who were lurking in Jiaxing City early, and the 300 people from the Taihu Camp who stayed behind in the cottage and were in charge of transportation.

At this time, Tian Fulu will face the attack of a full 1200 Taihu rebels.

Tian Fulu, who didn't know it, finally rushed to Tianjiazhuang in a hurry.

Deputy General Wang Zaixing said: "Master Zhifu, this Tianjiazhuang is heavily fortified, and our army has no siege equipment. I'm afraid it will be impossible to attack by force."

Tian Fulu said: "Vice General Wang, you lead your brothers to besiege on all sides. You don't need to attack by force, but you must create enough momentum to attract the attention of the bandits. I have my own way to eliminate the bandits."

The Qing soldiers brought some large shields, and under the cover of the large shields, they began to fill in the soil on all sides.After all, this "moat is not wide, and very shallow."

The effect of shooting at Huang Yu's side is relatively poor. Long-distance firecrackers can't penetrate the big shield. Only a few Qing soldiers who didn't pay attention to cover were hit. After fighting for a long time, a total of 10 Qing soldiers were killed, and the moat was covered by Qing soldiers instead. I filled it out.

Seeing that the thieves were attracted by the frontal attack, Tian Fulu led 200 people secretly to the grove west of Zhuangzi.

Tian Fulu pulled up the mechanism, only to see an entrance appear under a pile of dead leaves.

There is actually a secret road leading to the villa.

Tian Fulu hurriedly ordered the team to enter the secret road and enter the village.

Zhang Xiaofan, who was lying in ambush by the woods, felt something was wrong when he saw Tian Fulu lead people into the woods.

Sure enough, there is something tricky in it.

About 50 people just entered Tian Fulu's side.

Only the sound of "whoosh, whoosh" was heard, and several soldiers fell to the ground with arrows.

Zhang Xiaofan and others rushed out from the forest.

Seeing that there were enemy troops, Tian Fulu immediately hid in the secret passage, and closed the mechanism casually.

More Qing soldiers were kept outside.

I saw Zhang Xiaofan took the lead, leaping into the enemy's formation with one step, blocking from left to right, 3 or 4 Qing soldiers fell down in a blink of an eye.

Those veterans of the Jingnan Battalion immediately followed Zhang Xiaofan, and wherever they went, the Qing soldiers gave way one after another.

The two sides only met each other, and the Qing army was beheaded and killed more than 30 people.

The rest of the Qing army saw how ferocious these "thieves" were, so Brick ran forward to join the main force attacking the city.

Zhang Xiaofan had no choice but to leave 50 people to continue searching for the entrance, and lead other troops from the Jingnan Battalion to continue chasing the rout.

As soon as Wang Zaixing made some progress in filling the moat, he found a wave of broken soldiers running towards him behind him.

Lu Shanhai, who was in ambush on the other side, saw that Zhang Xiaofan had already led his troops out, so he had no choice but to order the whole army to attack.

So 850 people from the Taihu Rebel Army suddenly rushed out from behind, and the Qing army could only face the moat with their backs to fight, and on the other side they had to face the firecrackers on the wall of the village.

The Qing army was in chaos, and the Shenji Battalion in Zhuangshang began to fight black guns.In a short while, dozens of Qing soldiers were brought down by their condescension.

In an instant, the Qing army was completely suppressed by the Taihu Rebels.

Here, Lu Shanhai shouted: "The idea is to outflank the two sides, and don't let the Qing army escape from the flanks."

At this time, Wang Zaixing yelled to form an array at everyone's home, and don't be scattered by the thieves.

In this way, although the Qing army barely stabilized its position, it also lost the opportunity to escape.

Except for a few Qing soldiers who fled desperately, everyone else was surrounded by rebels.

Wang Zaixing, who had stabilized his position just a little bit, breathed a sigh of relief before he came.

He saw that the Shenji Camp in Tianjiazhuang actually took the initiative to kill them from behind.

At this time, Huang Yu shouted: "The shields are in the front, the pikemen are behind, and the gunmen are last, come out slowly."

The Shenji Battalion's attack dealt a heavy blow to them. Many Qing soldiers were shot in the back. At this time, there was three-dimensional fire cover on the Zhuang Wall, and they couldn't rush to the Shenji Battalion to fight melee.Even if a Qing army can rush to the front, the combination of shield and spear is enough to deal them a fatal blow.

Lu Shanhai and Zhang Xiaofan are also veterans in the army, they immediately seized this opportunity to attack back and forth.

When Hong Fugui and others took the lead in killing people, the Qing army was in chaos in an instant, and it was impossible to form an effective resistance.

Qian Mo has been watching the frontal battle situation, seeing that the defeat of the Qing army in Zhuangqian is a foregone conclusion.

He didn't realize the danger coming from behind him.

The entrance to the secret passage is actually in Master Tian's bedroom, but his bedroom was requisitioned by Qian Mo.

Therefore, Mr. Tian has no chance to return to the bedroom at all, and naturally it is impossible to use the secret passage to escape.

At this time, the Qing soldiers had slowly walked out of the secret passage, but there were only a handful of soldiers from the Shenji Battalion staying in the backyard of the village.

Tian Fulu commanded a few Qing soldiers to approach quietly, and immediately solved the few soldiers who stayed behind in the Shenji Battalion.
