Nanming Yiming

Chapter 70 Huzhou Uprising
After learning that Jin Shenghuan still led his troops to attack Ganzhou, Qian Mo also felt deeply depressed.

He didn't expect that his plan in advance would be disrupted by Huang Renlong, a "big fool".

Fortunately, at this time, Qian Mo had already sent people to buy [-]% to [-]% of the grain on the ground in Ganzhou.

In the case of insufficient food, Liu Wuyuan, the governor of Southern Jiangxi, would not be able to keep it for long.

Historically, when Ganzhou was besieged by Jin Shenghuan, the food in the city rose to 45 taels of silver per shi.

Now that Ganzhou's food has been plundered by Qian Mo in advance, I'm afraid it will go crazy.Although most of the purchased grain has been secretly transferred to the vicinity of Nanchang by Qian Mo.

However, the greedy Qian Mo still left 5000 shi of grain near Ganzhou, planning to turn it into several 10 taels of silver.

Looking in the direction of Jiangxi, Qian Mo said in his heart: Lao Jin, I can only help you so much, if you can't win Ganzhou, you can't justify it.

But it's not all bad news from Jiangxi.

Qian Mo got two good news.

One is that Qian Ning came to report that Song Yingxing was finally found.

It turned out that Song Yingxing did live in seclusion in his hometown, Fengxin County, Nanchang Prefecture, but he has been living in seclusion in the mountains and has not had much contact with the outside world.

This time, Jin Shenghuan made a lot of noise anyway, which alarmed Song Yingxing. This time, the intelligence department had a chance to find out his whereabouts. Now Master Song has agreed to leave the mountain and is on his way to Tianjiazhuang.

The second is that Jiang Riguang and Pan Yongxi's Northern Expeditionary Army has entered the territory of Huizhou Prefecture and won the first battle.

The local gentry in Huizhou also responded, and the county magistrate of Wuyuan, with the support of the gentry, announced that anyway.

Pan Yongxi also captured Qimen County with the cooperation of the gentry, and is now marching towards Huizhou Fucheng.

Nanjing City is now empty of troops, Governor Ma Guozhu urgently ordered Bashan to lead 5000 Manchurian Eight Banners back to defend Nanjing.

In addition, Gushan Ezhen and General Pingnan Jinli, who were stationed in the Eight Banners in Hangzhou, led 4000 Eight Banners starry nights to help Huizhou.

Now there are only 4000 soldiers and horses left in Hangzhou City. Governor Xiao Qiyuan of Zhejiang urgently dispatched 4000 green battalions from Ningbo, Shaoxing, and Taizhou to help defend Hangzhou.

Originally, Xiao Qiyuan wanted to transfer Tian Xiong's troops back to defend Hangzhou, but the Chongming navy bombarded Jinshanwei at this time, coupled with the lack of troops in the Susong area, he gave up this idea.

In addition, the Guangxin Mansion in Jiangxi was also in a hurry, and the Qing troops in Yanzhou and Quzhou were also ordered to reinforce Shangrao.

At this time, there are very few Qing troops in the entire eastern Zhejiang region.

It is now March, and in early May at the latest in history, the Qing court's Southern Expedition Army reached the vicinity of Nanchang.

The prime time left for Qian Mo is less than 2 months.

Huizhou is mountainous, and it is no longer realistic for Jiang Riguang's Northern Expedition army to take Nanjing.

If Huizhou can be controlled, the Qing soldiers can be prevented from entering Jiangxi in Huizhou, and the best policy is to quickly control Huizhou.

So Qian Mo decided to send someone to contact Jiang Riguang, saying that we would raise troops in Huzhou and fully cooperate with him to seize Huizhou.

Qian Mo, who wanted to hide behind others and reap the benefits, felt like Huang Jiguang who dared to "block the eye" at this time, sacrificing himself to help others was not his style at all.

Now that the time is ripe for all aspects, Qian Mo decided to send troops to occupy Huzhou and attract the Qing army from eastern Zhejiang to help them to cover Zhang Mingzhen, Zhang Huangyan and others to capture Taizhou.

After another one and a half months of preparation, the battalions under the Suhu Governor's Mansion are now strong and strong, and all firearms have been replaced with new Lumi guns.

At this time, Huzhou Prefecture had jurisdiction over six counties and one state: Wucheng County, Gui'an County, Deqing County, Wukang County, Changxing County, Xiaofeng County, and Anji Prefecture.

However, at this time, the Qing army was empty in Huzhou. Only 1000 people were stationed in the capital city of Huzhou, 500 people were stationed in Anji Prefecture, the state capital, and only 500 people were stationed scattered in other counties. The entire Huzhou capital had only a green camp of 2000 people.

This time, 1000 people from the Taihu Battalion of the Suhu Governor's Mansion stayed in Taihu Lake, and 1000 people from the Jiaxing Battalion stayed in Tianjiazhuang.

At this time, Jingnan Camp, Chongming Camp and Shenji Camp had all reached 1600 people.

Qian Mo is going to directly take over the six counties and one state of Huzhou in one go, and see the reaction of Governor Xiao Qiyuan of Zhejiang.

On March 1648, the second year of Yongli (3).

At the gate of the Yamen in Anji Prefecture, two brothers, Orion Wang Ji and Wang Li, are beating the drum of grievances at the gate of the Yamen.

At this time, the two yamen servants hurried forward to stop them, and shouted loudly: "Where did you come from, you dare to disturb the rest of Master Zhizhou, I think you don't want to live anymore."

I saw my elder brother Wang Ji smiling and said: "You two official servants, it's not that we brothers intentionally disturb Master Zhizhou's rest, it's because we have big news to report to Master."

The yamen servant cast a disdainful glance at the two poor hunters, and said impatiently, "What news can you get from the two of you?"

At this time, Wang Ji whispered in front of the yamen servants: "We found the anti-Qing criminals 'Uncle Ma' and his gang wanted by the government. The government has offered a reward of 500 taels of silver."

Hearing the name of 'Uncle Ma', the yamen servant immediately regained his spirits.

You must know that the 'Uncle Ma' group are the anti-Qing bandits on the ground in Huzhou who have been in trouble for a long time. They have been fighting against the government for the past two years.

The Huzhou government pursued them many times back and forth, but this group of people came and went without a trace, and there was no trace of them at all.

Last year, the Huzhou government dispatched a full 1000 people to round up them in Mogan Mountain for two days and two nights, and finally found an empty stockade abandoned by bandits.

In the past few months, they also ambushed officers and soldiers who were going to the countryside to collect taxes, killing and wounding several people.

The prefect of Huzhou really had no way out, and directly offered a reward of 500 taels of silver for the head of the leader "Uncle Ma", and even those who provided accurate information were rewarded with 50 taels of silver.

So the yamen servant hurriedly brought the two of them into the yamen to meet the Lord Zhizhou.

Ma Li, the magistrate of Anji Prefecture, is 42 years old this year. He was a Jinshi in Chongzhen for 16 years, so he was the same year as Qian Mo.

Now that he has served as the magistrate for several years, he is thinking about how to curry favor with Shangguan so that he can go further.

Hearing that a Orion had discovered the whereabouts of the bandit leader "Uncle Ma", he immediately regained his spirits and asked, "Are you sure it's the bandit leader 'Uncle Ma'?"

Wang Li said: "Every time our two brothers enter the venue, we see the portrait of 'Uncle Ma' on the arrest warrant. This is 500 taels of silver. Even if we misidentify our own father, we cannot misidentify 'Uncle Ma'."

Wang Ji added from the side: "We also heard this 'Uncle Ma' calling a one-eyed dragon his second brother."

Ma Li thought to himself that the 'Second Master Ma' was not just a one-eyed dragon, it seemed that he couldn't be wrong.

Quickly asked: "How many troops do they have in Mogan Mountain?"

At this time, Wang Ji said: "The villain was also found by accident while hunting. The exact number is not clear, but it seems that there are at least four or fifty people."

Ma Li, who was eager to do meritorious service, asked his subordinate Hu Ba to lead 400 officers and soldiers to Moganshan to destroy "Uncle Ma", while he stayed in the city and waited for the good news.

Brothers Wang Ji and Wang Li took Hu Bazong and others around Mogan Mountain for more than two hours.

Hu Bazong asked impatiently: "Where is the bandit's camp? Why haven't they arrived after walking for a long time?"

Wang Ji said: "It shouldn't be far away, I remember it's in the col ahead."

"Why don't you guys take a break here now, and the two of us brothers will go to the front to explore the way first."

So Hu Bazong pointed to a few soldiers and said: "You two go with him. When you see the camp, don't startle the snake, come back quickly and report."

After the Wang brothers left, the exhausted Qing soldiers sat down on the mountain path to rest.

Before the butt was hot, I heard a burst of "bang, bang, bang".

Many Qing soldiers were shot and fell to the ground on the spot.

I saw a large number of bandits killed on the nearby hillside.

Hu Bazong shouted: "It's not good, we were fooled, and we were ambushed by bandits, everyone quickly follow me to break through."

As soon as Hu Bazong raised his head, he saw several soldiers in front of him were immediately shot and fell to the ground.

Several gunners on the high slope ahead were holding torches, and the two tiger squatting cannons pointed directly at him.

At this time, "Uncle Ma" Ma Zhanyuan shouted: "You guys don't put down your weapons and surrender quickly, or I will light the cannon."

At first, Hu Bazong thought he was just being ambushed by some bandits, but after seeing the flags of the Ming Dynasty all over the mountains and plains, and the uniform uniforms, he had no intention of resisting anymore.

Where is this bandit?They are clearly the elite officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty!
So he immediately ordered his subordinates to stop resisting and announced their surrender!
At this time, Ma Li, the magistrate of Anji, was listening to a little song in the government office, waiting for General Hu to capture 'Uncle Ma', so that he could go to Huzhou Fucheng to ask for credit and reward.

Suddenly Ma Zhanyuan directly led his men into the Zhizhou Yamen, and Ma Li turned pale with fright.

Ma Zhanyuan smiled at Ma Li and said: "I heard that Master Zhizhou is going to use my head to ask for a reward in Fucheng, so I took the initiative to send it to your door, Mr. Ma, why don't you do it quickly?"

At this time Qian Mo appeared and said, "Brother Ma, don't scare Ma Zhizhou anymore."

I still have a deep impression of Qian Momali. The two were both Jinshi in the 16th year of Wanli. Qian Mo has been known as a "child prodigy" since he was a child, and he is also the youngest Jinshi in that department. Naturally, he has a deep memory.

Not long ago, Qian Mo made such a big noise in Nanjing and became a disciple of Hong Chengchou, and Ma Li was very envious of him.

But before I heard that Qian Mo had died in the Yangtze River, why did he appear here?

Seeing Ma Li's doubts, Qian Mo said, "Brother Nian doesn't remember Qian Mo, you and I are Jinshi in the same discipline?"

People in this era are still very particular about being in the same hometown and the same year. With this relationship, they are naturally closer than ordinary people. Qian Mo called Ma Li "Brother Nian" to express the meaning of wooing. How could Ma Li do not understand.

So he immediately changed his face and said: "If you don't know a great talent, how can you forget it. It's just that I heard that I didn't know my life and died in the Yangtze River a while ago, so I sighed for a long time."

"Now seeing that I don't know is safe and sound, my brother is really overjoyed."

Ma Zhanyuan couldn't stand it anymore, and roared angrily: "Bold, you hypocritical dog official, dare to call your brother and brother with the governor here, and you are worthy?"

Looking at Ma Li who was puzzled, Qian Mo said: "I am now the governor of Suhu, personally appointed by Emperor Yongli of the Ming Dynasty. I am in charge of all affairs of the Susonghu Jiasi Mansion. Now Jin Shenghuan is in Jiangxi anyway. Leading tens of thousands of kings to start an uprising in Huzhou, I don't know where Brother Ma will go?"

In fact, Qian Mo had inquired about it a long time ago. Apart from currying favor with the superior, this Ma Li was also considered an official with good political achievements.On weekdays, he never bullied the people too much.

In the current atmosphere in officialdom, accepting bribes is unavoidable.Qian Mo doesn't need Qingliu, but an official who can do practical things and is loyal to him.

Of course, it shouldn't be too bad in essence, Qian Mo doesn't want to raise a group of corrupt officials who harm the people.

Facing the olive branch thrown by Qian Mo, Ma Li was overjoyed. In fact, his political achievements were good, but he had never been appreciated and promoted by the superiors.

Now this Daming has also improved.A few days ago, Yang Wenqi and Tu Guobao were in Chongming anyway, the Qing army had nothing to do with them.Now Jin Shenghuan's army in Jiangxi is even more powerful, and the Ming Dynasty is likely to make a comeback.

It's just like this for me to hang out with the Qing Dynasty, but it's completely different with Qian Mo. If Daming can really stand up and call the shots, with Qian Mo's relationship, wouldn't he be on the same path.

And after all, I am also a Han Chinese, so it is better to be a hero to revive Ming Dynasty than to be a humble slave.

Ma Li was also unambiguous, and he did what he said.

Not only did he quickly issue an Anmin notice, announcing that Master Wang had recovered Anji Prefecture.

He also actively punished some traitors and collected money and food for the army.

Since Xiaofeng County is also under the jurisdiction of Anji Prefecture, Qian Mo quickly controlled Anji Prefecture and Xiaofeng County.

The Qing army under Hu Bazong's command changed suddenly and became the Ming Dynasty official army.

Changxing County in the north and Wukang and Deqing counties in the south were also captured by the Chongming Camp and the Jingnan Camp respectively.

Due to the infiltration of the intelligence department, and the fact that these three counties did not have many garrisons, they basically fell on the lookout and were quickly taken back.

At this time, except for Wucheng County and Gui'an County directly under the jurisdiction of Huzhou Prefecture, all other areas have returned to the Ming Dynasty anyway.

Feng Rujin, the magistrate of Huzhou, was originally an official in Huzhou. At the beginning of June in the second year of Shunzhi (1645), Qing soldiers attacked Huzhou.

Wang Shiyu, the magistrate of Huzhou in the Ming Dynasty, fled, and promoted Feng Rujin, the official, to the city, and was promoted to the magistrate of Huzhou.

The Feng family is a local tyrant in Huzhou, who often oppresses the people.After Feng Rujin was promoted to magistrate, in order to curry favor with the Manchu masters, he even searched and arrested anti-Qing righteous people in Huzhou.

The previous reward of 500 taels of silver for the capture of the leader of the rebel army, "Uncle Ma", was also written by him.

A few days ago, I received the news that Jiangxi Jin Shenghuan raised his troops anyway and beheaded a group of Qing officials in Nanchang, which made Feng Rujin even more frightened, fearing that he would follow in the footsteps of these people.

Therefore, the states and counties under Huzhou were urgently ordered to strengthen the recovery of the "remnants of the former Ming Dynasty", so as to prevent the rioters from taking the opportunity to rebel.

Unexpectedly, good news came within a few days.

Ma Li, the magistrate of Anji, came to report, saying that "Uncle Ma", the anti-Qing bandit leader who had been offering rewards for many days, and others were captured in Mogan Mountain in Anji.

The Feng family often bullied the local people in Huzhou. "Uncle Ma" and others have been fighting against Feng Rujin in Huzhou under the banner of resisting the Qing Dynasty.

Now that he was captured, Feng Rujin immediately ordered Ma Li to quickly escort a group of traffickers to Huzhou Mansion. He wanted to behead "Uncle Ma" and others in public to deter the anti-Qing forces in Huzhou Mansion!
