Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 355 Yuanzhang died
In the land of Fujian, there are eight mountains, one water and one field, and it shows the barrenness of Fujian, which is mostly mountainous and lacks cultivated land. It also shows that the situation in Fujian is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

This was originally a natural battlefield for fighting the Qing soldiers, and the Eight Banners soldiers could not perform at all, but now that Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Qing, Nanming lost such an optimal anti-Qing base.

To the north of Fujian is the stretch of Wuyi Mountain. There are not many passages connecting central Fujian and Jiangxi, and Shanguan is the most important one.

Before Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, there were often teams leaving this pass to deliver some supplies to southern Jiangxi, but since Zheng Zhilong decided to think about it, he closed it tightly to cut off contact with the Ming army in southern Jiangxi.

The guard of Shanguan is Huang Ting, Zheng Zhilong's subordinate. He is from Fujian, he is under 30 years old, and he is highly regarded, so he can entrust such an important checkpoint as Shanguan.

These days, Shanguan has been retreating, so he basically has nothing to do, so he had a drink in Guancheng.

At this time, a soldier of the Qing Dynasty ran over in a hurry and reported to him: "General, a Qing soldier has come from outside the pass and said they want to pass the pass."

"Outside the customs?" Huang Ting was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and asked doubtfully, "How many people are there?"

"At this time, the document they sent, please have a look at it~" The soldier first handed out a notebook, and then replied: "It seems that there are nearly ten thousand people!"

Huang Ting took the document with a slight frown, and opened it to see that under the orders of Bellerek Dehun, Jiangxi Admiral Jin Shengheng led [-] troops into Fujian to assist Boluo in the battle, and all the seals on the document were complete.

Huang Ting was shocked when he saw this, and quickly got up, "Go, go and close it."

Not long after, Huang Ting came to Guanshang, and sure enough, there were nearly ten thousand soldiers in Guanshang. Unlike the newly recruited Zheng Jun in Guanshang, there were nearly ten thousand Qing soldiers in Guanshang, and their banners and uniforms were more like Qing soldiers than them.

At this time, a general of the Qing army, under the protection of Jinbai's personal guards, came to the gate and shouted immediately: "I heard that Grand Master Zheng has surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. The governor entered Fujian under the order of Baylor. The guards on the city General, you can open the city gate."

"Is Jindu Town under the city?" Huang Ting looked down.

"It's the governor!" Jin Shengheng saw him talking, and pretended to be annoyed, "Why don't you open the door? It's because you have the Han family in your heart, and you don't want to follow Zheng Taishi to surrender to the Qing Dynasty!"

The sound of the golden sound is like a bell, and the aura is extremely strong. Huang Ting was a little panicked when he heard the words, and quickly explained: "Jin Duzhen calms down, and the general will surrender to the Qing Dynasty sooner, but the general has some doubts. Isn't the Duzhen attacking Ganzhou? Why did he suddenly want to enter?" Fujian?"

"Ganzhou has already been captured by the governor, and now Baylor is sitting in the city. There is no war in Gan, so I went to Fujian to obey the dispatch of Bo Luo, the general who conquered the South!"

Hearing the words, Huang Ting was no longer in doubt. Ganzhou had already been brought down. Now it seemed that Nanming was at the end of his life. While he was glad that he had surrendered to the Qing court, he ordered the soldiers: "Open the city gate, and Jindu town is about to enter. close."

After a while, the door was closed and opened wide, Huang Ting welcomed Jin Shengheng into the pass, and asked Jin Shengheng to prepare a banquet, Jin Shengheng readily accepted, Huang Ting was overjoyed immediately.

At this time, Jin Shengheng immediately proposed, "The governor will rush to Fuzhou tomorrow, and it will waste a lot of time for the soldiers to set up camp. Can General Huang arrange some residences for the soldiers of the governor, and stay overnight temporarily!"

Huang Ting heard the words without doubting it, and quickly nodded in response.

It was night, after the banquet, Huang Ting went back to his residence to sleep, but not long after he lay down, two soldiers hurriedly shook him awake and reported: "The general is not well, the Qing soldiers suddenly hacked and killed in the pass brothers."

Huang Ting was shocked when he heard the words, hurriedly put on his clothes, picked up his weapons, and went out to mount his horse, but he was already surrounded by Jin Shengheng's troops. Huang Ting asked quickly: "What is the meaning of Jindu Town? The last general has surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. To attack the troops of the last general."

"Haha~" Jin Shengheng said with a smile: "Son, this governor has already turned around, and he has been in the Ming Dynasty for a long time!"

After finishing speaking, Jin Shengheng brandished the Guan knife to kill Huang Ting, and Huang Ting turned pale with shock. He was still drunk, and he was invincible, so he was shot off by Jin Shengheng.

In the early morning of the next day, Wang Yan led a Chinese army of [-] troops and rushed to Shanguan. The Manda Zhuang troops left the supplies in Ganzhou and handed them over to Li Guo, and then led the navy back to Hunan. After Yuanji was good, he supervised the army to attack for a few days, and he really broke the city, but Shen Yongzhong followed his old father, burned a large amount of supplies left by Luck Dehun, and died by self-immolation.

This time when he entered Fujian, he also brought all his soldiers and horses. Jin Shengheng's [-] surrendered troops were the front, [-] of which he himself led as the central army, and Li Guo ordered [-] supervisors to serve as the rear army.

At this time, Wang Yan rode through the closed door, and Jin Shengheng quickly clasped his fists in salute and said, "Report to the Duke, fortunately, the last general did not disgrace his life. Not a single Qing soldier ran over, and there will be no leaks!"

Shanguan was built in the canyon between the two mountains. Huang Ting let Jin Shengheng's soldiers and horses enter the pass. The master and the others sealed the road, and the Qing soldiers of Huang's department couldn't fly, and they all became turtles in an urn.

Wang Yan nodded in satisfaction, and then asked, "Have you found any news about His Majesty?"

Jin Shengheng's face darkened when he heard the words, and he said: "General Huang Ting explained that Zhang Cunren, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and Tong Guoding, the governor of the Qing court, led 3 horses to Shanguan to search for His Majesty in the mountains and forests. The next corpse was shot with more than ten arrows. It is said that it was Wang Yuanzhang, the right governor of the Imperial Forest Army. After that, the Qing soldiers began to retreat in the direction of Fuzhou. Huang Ting was also ordered to send a batch of grain to Ziguang Temple in the south, where nearly a hundred cases were imprisoned. Ministers of society and society, it is estimated that His Majesty is also among them, otherwise the Qing soldiers will not stop the search and withdraw to Fujing!"

Hearing the words, Wang Yan couldn't help trembling. His Majesty was captured and Wang Wei died in battle. This was a bolt from the blue for him. He still remembered that when he left Fujing, he left [-] soldiers and horses for Wang Wei so that he could not leave His Majesty. One step, be sure to protect His Majesty's safety, and Wang Wei replied, "I will protect Your Majesty with my life."

Now Wang Wei actually fulfilled this promise for the truth. The first two generals under Wang Yan, Li Taizhen died in battle by the Wusong River, and now Wang Wei died in Shanguan again. Wang Yan suddenly felt sad, and the emperor was captured. The news made him look flustered again.

"How far is Ziguang Temple from here?" Wang Yan tried to calm himself down, and then asked, "Where is Yuanzhang's body buried?"

"Outside Guangze County, about ten miles away! But Huang Ting said that there are more than 1 Qing soldiers around the county, but I don't know if they have all been withdrawn." Jin Shengheng replied: "General Wang's body was buried in the pass. In the canyon!"

Jin Shengheng didn't know the relationship between Wang Yan and Wang Wei, but from Wang Yan's tone, he knew that the two must have special anxiety, so he led Wang Yan there.

Wang Yan immediately dismounted with his staff and generals, and walked according to Jin Shengheng's guidance. As he walked, he thought that the Qing soldiers had carried Wang Wei's body down the mountain three days ago, and the Ziguang Temple was in Guangze County, forty miles to the south. That is to say, His Majesty was taken to the Zijin Temple at the earliest and the next day, and it is very likely that he is still in the temple now.

Immediately, Wang Yan couldn't help but stop, and ordered: "Zongdi and Shixiu, you two immediately lead the supervisor's bid and rush to Ziguangguan! Zhifan, you lead 2 horses to meet them."

Since there are [-] Qing soldiers in Guangming County, Jin Shengheng's troops are not enough, and the leader of the Qing soldiers is most likely Zhang Cunren, the governor of Fujian. The method of defrauding Shanguan may not work, so Wang Yan decided to send his former subordinates to rescue him.

All the generals agreed immediately when they heard the words, but Wang Fuzhi suddenly waved his hands and said: "Shi Heng, wait a minute! The Qing army will surely find out if the army presses up like this. Zhang Cunren felt that 1 horses cannot defeat our army. Rescuing His Majesty will surely kill His Majesty~"
