Nanming Yiming

Chapter 97 The mysterious behind-the-scenes manipulator (seeking subscription support)
After arranging the affairs in Hangzhou, Qian Mo ordered the battalions to attack, preparing to wipe out the Qing army who went north for reinforcements.

The Jingnan Camp, Chongming Camp and Shenji Camp were stationed in Lin'an, Fuyang and Xin County respectively, waiting to meet the 15000 Qing troops who came to support Hangzhou, but the strange thing is that they didn't see the Qing army after waiting all day. The shadow of the army.

Qian Mo asked Liu Yichen: "Where did the Qing army go north in Fujian?"

Liu Yichen said: "It's very strange. The Qing army went north from Chuzhou and divided into two groups. One went to Jinhua and the other went to Yanzhou. The Qing army from Yanzhou stopped when it arrived in Tonglu."

Qian Mo asked: "The news that we captured Hangzhou has spread to Yanzhou so quickly?"

Liu Yichen said: "It's also possible, after all, something as big as the capture of Hangzhou cannot be blocked.

Qian Mo said: "I always feel that this Qing army is weird from the very beginning. First it went northward from Fujian quietly, and then stayed in Tonglu in time, not entering our preset battlefield."

"Hurry up and order the intelligence department to summarize the situation in other battlefields, and see what the Qing army is doing in other places?"

Liu Yichen said: "News came from the Fujian battlefield. After a fierce battle, Zheng Cai was driven out of Fuzhou by the Qing army, and now retreats to Funing Prefecture."

Qian Mo questioned: "That means that Chen Jincai, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, just defeated Zheng Cai, and he just drove Zheng Cai out of Fuzhou."

"How could he send 6 troops to support Hangzhou six days ago?"

"It's not good that we were fooled. The so-called 1 troops are likely to be the other party's suspicious strategy. No wonder Fujian didn't send back the news? Because there are no 5 troops from Fujian. I guess it is Chuzhou at most." A small number of Qing troops who came to support pretended to be."

Liu Yichen said: "The Intelligence Department has neglected its duty, I immediately sent someone to find out the reality of the Qing army in Tonglu."

Although the intelligence department has not yet determined how many Qing troops there are in Tonglu, Qian Mo can be sure that this must be a bluff and suspicious strategy by the Qing army.

The other party took advantage of Qian Mo's inability to confirm the news from Fujian in time to induce Qian Mo to attack Hangzhou.Perhaps they themselves did not expect that the impregnable city of Hangzhou would be conquered by the Ming army in less than 2 days.

But why did the other party drag Qian Mo's main force to Hangzhou?

There must be other purposes, not necessarily to cheer up Xiao Qiyuan in Hangzhou City, and send false information in.

Qian Mo looked at the map anxiously. He has always been used to controlling the overall situation, but now he is being led by the nose by others. This feeling is really bad.According to Qian Mo's memory, although Chen Jin, governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, is also a general, he is probably not the mastermind behind this incident. Who is this hidden opponent?

Xianju County in the southwest of Taizhou has a long history and culture, and is a thousand-year-old city with outstanding people.In the territory, there are Xiatang cultural relics more than 7000 years ago, "Tadpole Wen", one of the eight strange writings in China, and it is also the place where idioms and allusions such as "one person attains the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven", "the vicissitudes of life", "everyone talks about items" and other idioms and allusions. .

Now he is the garrison of Yang Wenqi, the commander-in-chief of the Ming army. Since Yang Wenqi followed Zhang Mingzhen to sweep eastern Zhejiang, it can be said that he has been hanging out all the way. Except for the "Qishanshan" ambush, which was a real meritorious service for killing the enemy, Tiantai County and Xianju County were all cleared by him. The army surrendered directly.

Such performance also won the affirmation of Zhang Mingzhen, the Marquis of Dingxi, and ordered him to command the three counties of Xianju, Huangyan, and Taiping in the south of Taizhou, and his soldiers and horses also expanded from the original 2000 to 3500.

Yang Wenqi, who owns half of Taizhou, lives a leisurely and comfortable life. Local gentry keep paying tribute to him, and he even takes three concubines. It feels like he has ascended to heaven.

That day, Yang Wenqi was eating and listening to music in a restaurant in Xianju County. With a table of sumptuous dishes in front of him, and looking at the little concubine in his arms who was acting coquettishly, Yang Wenqi was also full of ambition, enjoying the pinnacle moment of his life.

At this time, the soldiers came to report: "Report to Zongbing Yang, a man who looks like a Taoist downstairs said he has something important to see!"

Yang Wenqi said: "A broken Taoist priest, what is there to see, I didn't see that I am busy now, just drive him away!"

The soldier said: "The Taoist said that there is a great fortune to be given to Zongbing Yang."

Hearing that there was a big fortune, Yang Wenqi immediately became interested and said, "I'm in a good mood now, it's okay to meet you, go and call him up!"

Originally, Yang Wenqi was born as a warlord, so he naturally didn't believe in these Buddhist teachings, but since he attacked Zhedong, he felt that his luck was overwhelming, and he had to feel a little awe of these gods and gods!
I saw a middle-aged Taoist priest walking up. Although he was wearing a bright Taoist robe, he didn't look like an outsider.

However, Yang Wenqi is an old fritter who is proficient in people and the world after all, so he said enthusiastically: "I don't know who is so tall, what can I learn this time?"

The Taoist said: "I came out of poverty and practiced at Tongbai Temple in Tiantai Mountain. I originally went down the mountain to visit friends. Seeing a noble person here, I thought it was a chance to come, so I took the liberty to ask for a meeting. Soldiers."

Yang Wenqi asked: "The Taoist priest who came out of the world is an expert outside the world. I don't know what kind of riches and honors you can bestow on Yang?"

Chuchen said: "Poverty Taoist Temple Yang Zongbing's heaven is full, and he is lucky. It has always been good luck in the near future."

Yang Wenqi thought to himself, these Taoist priests will put on airs, and you can tell me that I am lucky, who in the entire Xiantai County doesn't know?

Xu Shi saw the disdain in Yang Wenqi's heart, and Chuchen said again: "Mr. Yang's wealth is naturally in your hands. Why don't you ask Mr. Yang to write a word, and the poor will test it for you!"

Yang Wenqi said: "Since the Taoist priest is going down the mountain to visit friends, I will write the word 'friend', and please ask the Taoist priest to take a test for Yang!"

Chuchen looked at the word 'friend' and said: "You are the beginning of the word 'anti'. It seems that Zongbing Yang's wealth still falls on the beginning of the word 'anti'."

Yang Wenqi thought to himself that this old-fashioned old man really has two brushes. He was originally Su Song's admiral Wu Shengzhao, and he was promoted to deputy general of Wu Song because he exposed Wu Shengzhao's rebellion; Gongrong was promoted to the position of Wu Song's general soldier; and then he was fooled by Qian Mo for a while, anyway, he returned to the Ming Dynasty. Although he was still the general soldier, he did well under Zhang Mingzhen's men. He actually controlled the land of 3 counties, and his soldiers and horses were also expanded. Now he is the real "Emperor of Earth".

So he asked: "I don't know what is the meaning of the word 'anti'?"

Chuchen looked around, and Yang Wenqi quickly understood and called the others to retreat.

Chuchen said: "Mr. Yang's glory and wealth are naturally closely related to the word 'reverse'. If you want to go further, you may have to rebel again!"

Yang Wenqi said: "Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty is at its peak, sweeping across the south of the Yangtze River, and the Manchu Qing is retreating steadily. How can I have any reason to turn against the Ming Dynasty and turn to the Qing Dynasty?"

Chuchen laughed and said: "It seems that Zongbing Yang can't see Mount Tai, so he couldn't see his own murder!"

Yang Wenqi laughed loudly, and said, "Don't want to scare Yang, Taoist priest, where did I get killed?"

Chuchen asked: "Poverty Daoist, dare to ask Zongbing Yang, you and Qian Mo, the governor of Suhu Lake in Ming Dynasty, have revenge for killing your father, don't you?"

Yang Wenqi said: "It is true that his father died because of me, but Qian Mo once promised to Dingxihou that he would not pursue this matter again!"

Chuchen laughed and said: "The hatred of killing one's father is irrelevant, how can one simply forget it? Zhang Mingzhen, Marquis of Dingxi, was the number one general under King Lu's command before, and Qian Mo, the leader of the water bandits in Taihu Lake, naturally dared not offend him. "

"Now that Qian Mo has seized the Second Mansion of Hujia and wiped out the Eight Banners of Hangzhou, even the city of Hangzhou is already under the peak of its soldiers. I am afraid that breaking the city will only happen overnight."

"Qian Mo, who sits in the affluent land of the three prefectures in northern Zhejiang, is now the number one celebrity under King Lu's command. Even Zhang Mingzhen, Marquis of Dingxi, will probably look up to him in the future."

"Dare to ask Zongbing Yang, if Qian Mo wants to settle accounts with you, will Ding Xihou offend Qian Mo for you?"

Yang Wenqi, who was still calm just now, suddenly became restless; he began to recall how Tu Guobao flattered Qian Mo and indifferent himself in Chongming, and how Qian Mo won the favor of King Lu in one fell swoop when he visited King Lu in Chongming. The fact that Zhang Mingzhen had a secret meeting with Qian Mo and Zhang Huangyan in his mansion naturally reached Yang Wenqi's ears.

Qian Mo is a man who is good at tricking people and demagoguery. He also has a background of famous scholars in the south of the Yangtze River. He is the pride of heaven no matter where he goes.I can't even be regarded as Zhang Mingzhen's confidant, how can I compare with Qian Mo?Moreover, Qian Mo has always been insidious and cunning, making it hard to guard against. Yang Wenqi has suffered a lot from him.Thinking of this, Yang Wenqi felt shuddering and broke out in a cold sweat.

Seeing Yang Wenqi's expression, Chuchen knew that his words had an effect, so he said: "Now my Qing Dynasty is only frustrated for a while, and the regent has ordered the General Zhengnan Zhenghuang Banner Gushan Erzhen Tan Tai to lead more than [-] Manchus. The army of the Eight Banners is going south, and it will not be easy to wipe out Jiangnan by then!"

"At that time, I'm afraid Zongbing Yang will not be treated so well if he wants to surrender again?"

Yang Wenqi said: "Who do you represent, and what conditions can the Qing Dynasty offer me?"

Chuchen said: "I am the secret envoy of Chen Jin, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang. As long as Zongbing Yang raises his troops against the Ming Dynasty, Governor Chen will directly appoint Zongbing Yang as the admiral of southern Zhejiang to lead the soldiers of Wentai and Wenzhou."

Yang Wenqi said: "Are you serious?"

Chuchen said: "Pindao said that he wants to give Zongbing Yang a fortune. At this moment, Bi Zhong, the deputy commander-in-chief of Wenzhou, has led 2500 troops to Chen Bing Wenling. These troops can be handed over to Zongbing Yang to take back Taizhou. "

"Since my Qing appointed Zongbing Yang as the admiral of southern Zhejiang, it is natural for you to command the soldiers of Wentai and Wenzhou, and I will never lie to you."

"I don't know what concerns Zongbing Yang has, but it's okay?"

As a veteran Jianghu, Yang Wenqi certainly knows that now is the time to ask for conditions. This is like job hopping in the workplace. There is an urgent shortage of jobs in other companies.

Of course, how to open your mouth to negotiate terms is a science. After all, you are going to change jobs to someone else's house, and you can't let the new boss think that you are greedy.

So Yang Wenqi began to cry.

Said: "I intend to serve the Qing Dynasty again, but my family members in Chongming will definitely die. I, Yang Wenqi, can't help them."

Chuchen said: "We will definitely try to rescue Zongbing Yang's family members in Chongming, please rest assured Zongbing Yang."

Yang Wenqi said: "Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult, and Yang's family members have been loyal to the Qing Dynasty. Naturally, Yang himself did not dare to ask for any extravagant compensation, but most of the brothers and family members in Yang's camp are in Chongming. If there is no certain Comfort, I'm afraid they won't obey!"

Chuchen also understood that Yang Wenqi was taking the opportunity to ask for a pension. It seemed that the official position of an admiral in southern Zhejiang and the promise of the military territory of the two governments could not satisfy his appetite.

But at the moment it is true that the Qing Dynasty is asking Yang Wenqi for him, and his excuse for asking for money is reasonable, as long as it is not too much, Chuchen will not refuse.

Yang Wenqi's parents have passed away. If his wife is gone, he can remarry, and if his child is gone, he can regenerate. Money is the most practical thing!So he said: "It's not too much to pay 3500 taels of silver to each of the 10 soldiers under Yang's command."

After negotiating the price, Yang Wenqi was unambiguous and immediately threw himself into Qing's arms.

Yang Wenqi occupied Xianju County, and his deputy general Wang An announced his surrender in Huangyan County. The guards in Taiping County were originally forced to surrender to the Ming army. Now they belong to Yang Wenqi. All together.

So Yang Wenqi and Wenzhou's Qing army joined together and led 6000 troops to Linhai, the prefecture of Taizhou.

Su Jian, a member of the intelligence department, finally ran to Linhai, the capital city of Taizhou, out of breath after running wildly for more than an hour.

Su Jiangao shouted: "It's not good, Yang Wenqi voted clear, and now he is leading an army to attack Linhai, close the city gate quickly."

There were originally 8000 troops stationed in Linhai. Before Zhang Mingzhen was in a tight spot in Ningbo, he took 5000 people from Linhai City to station in Fenghua and Ningbo.
Now there are only 3000 Ming troops stationed in Linhai City, which is very weak.

However, Ma Xin, the general soldier of Taizhou, closed the gate of Linhai city in time to declare Linhai martial law, and urgently recruited young and strong in the city to help defend the city.

Yang Wenqi didn't panic when he saw that the gates of Linhai City were closed. Perhaps it was because he was always looking forward to the wind wherever he went before, which gave him a lot of confidence.

Yang Wenqi shouted: "Mr. Ma, you, like me, were forced to surrender to the Ming army. Now Tan Tai, the general who conquered the South, has led more than [-] Manchus and Eight Banners to the south. The Ming army cannot stop the Eight Banners cavalry!" .”

"And Zhang Mingzhen, the Marquis of Dingxi, was trapped in Ningbo by the army of Tian Xiong, the admiral of Zhejiang Province. Your soldiers and horses in Linhai have almost been transferred. It is impossible for the Ming army to support you."

"I have been appointed as the admiral of southern Zhejiang by Chen Jin, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, to command the soldiers and horses of Wenzhou and Taizhou. Mr. Ma should surrender in Kaesong. You are still the commander-in-chief of Taizhou. You and I will join forces to attack Ningbo with Admiral Tian Xiong. , The great achievement of pacifying eastern Zhejiang is within easy reach, don't miss this opportunity, Zongbing Ma!"
