"Chen Duxian, there is no banquet that will not end, see you again when we are destined!"
The Qing Dynasty inlaid blue flag Manchuria Gushan forehead Zhenlan bowed to the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian Chen Jinyi and cupped his fists.
After capturing Sanpan Island, under the repeated urging of Jingnan General Chen Tai, Lanbai's Eight Banners soldiers had to rush to Fujian.
Chen Jinyi clasped his fists: "I've seen you for a long time, but we have to say goodbye. Next time, please give me a drink!"
"Hahaha, okay, see you later!"
Lanbai hit his horse and galloped away. After a while, the Eight Banners soldiers disappeared without a trace.
The Eight Banners soldiers are gone, but the encirclement and suppression of the Zhejiang rebels continues.
Tian Xiong, the governor of Zhejiang Province in the Qing Dynasty, came to Taizhou Prefecture to govern Linhai County with great ambition.
Originally, according to the battle plan, the rebels in Taizhou should be wiped out by Jinhua's troops. However, Tian Xiong and Lanbai made rapid progress along the way, and soon wiped out the rebels in Chuzhou and Wenzhou, completing their combat mission. Lanbai led the Eight Banners to
After arriving in Fujian, Tian Xiong went north to Taizhou to wipe Ma Jinbao's butt.
When I arrived outside Linhai County, I saw the magistrate, Tongzhi, county magistrate and other officials there, but one person was missing.
Tian Xiong was displeased: "Ma Xin, the commander-in-chief of Taizhou, is so arrogant that he didn't come to greet me!"
He asked in a deep voice: "Where is Mr. Ma?"
"Admiral, General Ma went to Tiantai County to suppress bandits."
Hearing that Ma Xin went to suppress the bandits, Tian Xiong's anger faded a little.
In Tiantai County, a confidant asked Ma Xin: "Commander, Admiral Tian came to Taizhou, and you avoided seeing him. Isn't it bad?"
Ma Xin snorted: "I disdain to see sellers seeking glory."
Tian Xiong did sell to an owner, and the owner he sold was quite big, the dignified Emperor Hongguang of the Southern Ming Dynasty.
Tian Xiong was originally a subordinate of Huang Degong, one of the four towns in the north of the Yangtze River during the Hongguang Dynasty. When Nanjing was destroyed, Emperor Hongguang fled into Huang Degong's military camp stationed in Wuhu. After Huang Degong died in battle, Tian Xiong felt that the Ming Dynasty was doomed, so he and another traitor Ma Degong
Together, they captured Emperor Hongguang and his concubines and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. Due to his great achievements, he joined the Han Army under the Yellow Banner and became a "banner man".
According to folklore, at that time, Tian Xiong tied Emperor Hongguang on his back and went to Duduo's camp to surrender. Along the way, Emperor Hongguang begged, but Tian Xiong refused to listen. He was so angry that Emperor Hongguang bit his neck and bit off a piece of meat.
.
Ma Xin was also a surrendered general. He was from Chang'an County, Shaanxi Province. He served as a general under Li Zicheng and later surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. When the Qing army came over, he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty again.
In Ma Xin's view, in troubled times, it is understandable to surrender in order to save the lives of the whole family. However, one cannot betray the owner!
Surrendering alone and surrendering with the Lord tied up are not the same thing.
Ma Xin, who comes from a wealthy family, feels that his character is much better than Tian Xiong's, and he deeply despises Admiral Tian who is a vendor seeking glory.
Destiny is always independent of personal will. Ma Xin didn't want to see Tian Xiong, but God just let him see him. He couldn't hide even if he wanted to.
Tian Xiong brought the admiral Biaoying and Wenzhou Green Camp troops to Tiantai County. His target was Boyu Guowang and Jintang Rebel Army of Ming Dynasty Xinchang entrenched in Tiantai Mountain.
When Tian Xiong comes, Ma Xin naturally has to pay a visit to Shangguan.
A military meeting of the Qing army on the southern front was held in Tiantai County. Tian Xiong saw that his subordinates were walking away from the garrison to the general army. Among them, there was a man standing next to Tiantai garrison Xu Shouxian, wearing a long green shirt and not wearing an official uniform.
"Who is this?"
Xu Shouxian, the Tiantai garrison, replied: "This is Huang Jin, the leader of the militia in this county. Several times before the Yu and Jin bandits attacked the county, Huang Tuanlian worked very hard to protect the county. This man is familiar with the terrain of Tiantai Mountain, so he specially led the official He is here to be dispatched by the commander-in-chief."
When Tian Xiong heard this, he understood that this person was a local snake.
The rebels originated in Zhejiang and needed money and food. Sometimes they would levy food from local landlords and gentry, which would inevitably affect the interests of some landlords. Some landlords who had no sense of national justice organized group training to help the Qing government suppress the rebels.
Historically, in the process of suppressing the Zhejiang rebels, these regiment-trained armed forces played a very bad role.
Tian Xiong looked at Huang Jin and snorted coldly, "You are white, so you are not qualified to participate in the meeting. I would like to hear you tell me a plan to suppress the bandits. If the method works, I will reward you. If an official is useless, he will be beaten out immediately with sticks."
Supposedly, the Huang family can be considered a prominent family in the Tiantai area, but Huang Jin has no integrity, nodding and bending, wishing to lick Admiral Tian's heels with his tongue.
"Commander, generals, this Tiantai Mountain has eight levels. The four sides are the same, and the top faces the three stars. They are divided into cows and girls. They go up to the platform to sleep, so it is called Tiantai??"
"Stop", Tian Xiong got angry, he has a hot temper, "I asked you to talk about strategies for defeating thieves, not to introduce the scenery."
"Yes, yes, yes", Huang Jin did not dare to say anything, and said with a smile, "Commander, the two thieves of Yu and Jin, the Yu Kingdom has many soldiers and is easy to deal with; Jintang has few soldiers and is difficult to deal with."
Tian Xiong was stunned: "Oh, why is this?"
Huang Jin flattered: "The troops of Yu Kingdom are many and bold, and the bandits' nest is fixed. They set up their stronghold at the top of Tiantai Mountain. If you can find him, it will be easy to deal with him. The soldiers of Jintang are few and timid. They scurry among the peaks of Tiantai, so it is difficult to find him." The traces are difficult to deal with."
"Oh, that's it."
"However, God help us, the Qing Dynasty. Perhaps out of fear of the Qing Dynasty's force in suppressing thieves, Jintang went to Huading to join forces with Yu Guowang. At this time, both thieves are in Huading, so they can catch them all in one fell swoop!"
When Tian Xiong heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "Senior troops marched in so quickly to destroy the two thieves."
"Commander, please don't. Most of the unruly people on the rooftop are collaborators with thieves. If you carry out the campaign with such great fanfare, I'm afraid the thieves on the mountain will already know about it before you even set out. They'll escape into the mountains. Where can you catch them?"
Tian Xiong thought for a while, his face suddenly filled with a smile, and he stared at Huang Jin with a smile, "Huang Tuanlian is familiar with the local people, and he must have a clever strategy to defeat the thieves. Don't worry, as long as I can help me defeat the thieves in Tiantai Mountain, I will
Being handsome must be rewarded heavily!"
"Commander, you can secretly move the army outside the city, and then choose someone who looks similar to you, wear your clothes, and parade around the city to confuse the ears and eyes of thieves. There is heavy fog in Tiantai Mountain from Yinshi to Chenshi
.You can choose elite soldiers, set out at the Yin time, take advantage of the heavy fog, and reach the stronghold, you will definitely be able to defeat the thieves."

No matter how rugged the terrain is, there is always a fear of "leading the way".
Led by local snake Huang Jin, Tian Xiong and Ma Xin took advantage of the heavy fog to raid the Tiantai Mountain rebels. The rebels were caught off guard, Jintang was killed, and Yu Guowang led a small group of remnants to escape into the mountains.
After defeating the Tiantai Mountain Rebels, the Qing army's Ma Jinbao's troops came from the west, Zhang Guoxun's troops came from the north, Xiao Qiyuan's troops came from the east, and Tian Xiong's troops came from the south. They surrounded the Siming Mountain Rebels from all sides and compressed the rebels into a small space.
Inside.
The Qing court's goal was very clear: it must eliminate Wang Yi, the soul of the East Zhejiang Rebel Army.
??
Dalan Mountain, with high mountains and thick fog, is located in the heart of Siming Mountains and is known as the "Heart of Siming Mountains".
In the stockade on the top of the mountain, a middle-aged military general wearing armor and a full beard and a middle-aged civilian official wearing a black veil and a handsome face are discussing military affairs.
"Changsheng, please quickly load the inventory into trucks, take the soldiers' families and move them to the Taiping Mountain area. Then burn the stronghold, leaving not a single brick or tile for the Tatars."
"Wanxun, has the situation become this serious? The copycat is our hard work for many years!"
"Chang Sheng, this time the Tatars mobilized much more troops than before, so we can only retreat first and use the terrain in the mountains to ambush them."
The middle-aged military general named Wang Yi, also named Wanxun, was the right minister of the Zhizhe Military Department and the left deputy capital censor under the title of Lu Jianguo.
Wang Yi and Wang Jiang, one is good at military training and fighting, the other is good at governance and financial management, one is martial arts, and the other is literary, they are collectively known as the "Two Kings" in the army. The two people are very united, recruiting refugees in the mountains, reclaiming wasteland, and one
With more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and 30,000 to 40,000 family members, they are the most powerful force among the Dalan Mountain rebels. What is even more rare is that they are basically self-sufficient financially, have strict military discipline, never disturb the people, and have defeated the Qing army many times.
He is the well-deserved leader of the Eastern Zhejiang Rebel Army.
At that time, there were more than a hundred rebel armies, large and small, in the eastern Zhejiang area. The sources of troops were complex and they sometimes disturbed the people. Only three rebel armies, Li Changxiang, Zhang Huangyan, and Wang Yi, did not disturb the people, and Wang Yi was the most powerful, with more than 10,000 people.
There are thousands of people in Zhang Huangyan’s department and hundreds of people in Li Changxiang’s department.
At the beginning, Li Changxiang had the highest official position, and all the rebels in eastern Zhejiang listened to Li Changxiang; later, the "two kings" combination showed their abilities and were more powerful than Li Changxiang and Zhang Huangyan combined; and later, Lu Jianguo summoned Li Changxiang and Zhang Huangyan to join the army. While traveling in Zhoushan, he was appointed as the left and right ministers of the Ministry of War, and Wang Yi officially became the leader of the Eastern Zhejiang Rebel Army.
Lu Jianguo transferred Li and Zhang to Zhoushan. On the one hand, he wanted to use their talents to run Zhoushan well. On the other hand, he also wanted to give Wang Yi free rein to integrate the many rebel armies in Dalan Mountain. Li and Zhang are both more senior than Wang Yi, so if they are transferred, there will be no constraints.
Wang Yi was very moved by this courage of employing people without suspicion and not using people who were suspicious.
The Qing court's envoy to Zhejiang, Yan Wogong, sent an envoy to summon Wang Yi to surrender. Wang Yi ordered the left governor Huang Zhongdao to cook the envoy in a big pot. This not only showed his determination not to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, but also used this method to tell Lu Jianguo, Your Highness, you can rest assured. Well, I, Wang Yi, must be worthy of your kindness!
After the discussion, Wang Jiang took his family and baggage to move to a safe area. Wang Yi led his troops to swim among the mountains, looking for opportunities to ambush the Qing army.
??
The mountain road leading from Qingxian Ridge to Dingshan Mountain is rugged and difficult to navigate. A group of Qing troops was like a long snake, meandering and swimming.
"Damn, this is a damn road," Qing guerrilla Li Rong cursed.
"General Li, in front of you is Dingshan Mountain. After Dingshan Mountain is Taiping Mountain. Behind Taiping Mountain is Dalan Mountain, the nest of the king's thieves," Deputy General Lu Mingshi said flatteringly.
Ordinarily, the position of deputy general is much higher than that of a guerrilla official, so it should have been Li Rong who wanted to please Lu Ming.
But this Lu Mingshi had a special status, he was a surrendered general. This man was originally General Dingyi who was granted the title of Lu Jianguo. Yan Wogong sent someone to recruit him, so he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. The Qing court's attitude towards the surrendered soldiers of the Lu army was not to demote them. As high an official as Lu Jianguo can give you, I, the Qing Dynasty, will give you a certain official title. Lu Ming had a title of general, but the official title is too small to look good, so he should be given a deputy general.
Li Rong was very angry. Damn it, I have 2,500 men and horses, but now I am just a guerrilla. You only have 500 men, and you are actually appointed as a deputy general?
He always opposed Lu Mingshi. Lu Mingshi was a surrendered general, so he had to keep his tail between his legs, like an angry "little daughter-in-law", serving Li Rong, the "evil mother-in-law" with a low eyebrow.
"Lieutenant General Lu, you open the way in front, and I will take care of you from behind," Li Rong ordered to Lu Ming.
Lu Mingshi did not dare to disobey and led his army in front. It was a bit like the Japanese raids in later TV series, with the puppet troops in front and the Japanese behind.
"Wang Jinglue, the Tatars have entered the ambush circle, let's attack." Mao Mingshan, the standard general of the Chinese military, asked Wang Yi for instructions.
Wang Yi looked at the Qing army and smiled. There were about 3,000 Qing troops, and his 10,000 troops were just right to destroy them.
"Attack and fight quickly!"
"Woo! Woo! Woo!"
The melodious attack horn echoed in the mountains, and Wang Yi, Mao Mingshan, and Huang Zhongdao rushed down the mountain to the Qing army like tigers.
"No, there's an ambush, retreat quickly!"
Li Rong turned his horse and ran back. Unfortunately, the people and horses were crossing paths, and the mountain road was rugged, so he couldn't escape quickly.
"Dog Tatar, take your life." Mao Mingshan chased after him and stabbed Li Rong to death.
"Spare my life, I am willing to surrender." Lu Mingshi knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Hey, isn't this Lu Datou? Why, he leads the Tatars into the mountains and wants to dye your red cap red with the blood of his brothers?"
Huang Zhongdao looked at him and sneered.
Lu Mingshi had a big head. When he was under the command of Lu Jianguo, other rebel generals called him "Lu Datou".
He kowtowed like a fool, "Have mercy on me, Brother Huang, I was also forced by the Tatars. If I don't lead them, they will kill me!"
Without looking at Lu Ming, Huang Zhongdao said to Wang Yi: "Wang Jinglue, last time the traitor, Mr. Yan, sent an envoy to lure him to surrender. You ordered me to cook the dog food that does not belong to our ancestors. The meat tastes pretty good. Why don't you just cook this? Let me cook it too!"
Wang Yi said in disgust: "It's too late. This guy's skin is too thick. It will take at least an hour to cook. By then the other Tatars will have rushed over. Give him a good time, clean up the battlefield quickly, and move away!"
"You're such a thief," Huang Zhongdao grabbed Lu Mingshi's hair and cut his neck like a butchered chicken. The black blood dyed the steel knife red.
??
The military report that Li Rong was killed in battle was reported to Chen Jin, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian in the Qing Dynasty.
"Alas", Chen Jin let out a long sigh in the Qing army camp in Shengxian County.
"Our army is in a good situation and has surrounded the bandits in the mountains. This battle is just a small setback and will not change the overall situation. Why is Governor Xian sighing?"
The speaker is the traitor Yan Wo Gong.
Yan Wogong was originally the censor under Lu Jianguo. After Lu Jianguo was beaten to death by Boluo, he lost confidence in his future and surrendered to the Qing court.
At first, the Qing government regarded him as a treasure and appointed him as the envoy to Zhejiang, specializing in luring the subordinates of Lu Jianguo to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. He also lured some people to surrender, such as Wu Kai, the Marquis of Kaiyuan, Hu Maofang, the Huben General, and Dingyi General Lu Mingshi, Chen Dezhi, Lei Hubiao, Yang Zilong, Lu Yi, Gao Shuxun, etc.
Later, when the Qing court saw that these people were minor players, with no more than five or six thousand miscellaneous soldiers under their command, they were of little use, so their attitude towards Mr. Yan became indifferent.
Yan Wogong was very afraid. Once the dog was needed by its owner again, it would be in bad luck. He took the initiative to apply to assist Chen Jin in encircling and suppressing the Dalan Mountain rebels, hoping to prove to his owner that he was still useful.
Chen Jin sighed: "The other bandit armies are nothing to be afraid of, but these two kings are the only ones that are difficult to deal with!"
Yan Wo Gong smiled and said: "In the past, when I was the censor of the pseudo-King Lu of Ming Dynasty, I had an old relationship with Wang Yi and Wang Jiang. It is not difficult to defeat the two kings."
"Oh, why did Mr. Yan teach me?"
Yan Wogong said proudly: "Wang Jiang is a well-known filial son, and his mother is now in Yuyao County. You can threaten Wang Jiang with his mother's life, and if he doesn't surrender, he will kill his mother. I predict that Wang Jiang will surrender. Once Wang Jiang surrenders,
The morale of the bandit army will inevitably be in chaos, and it will be easy to defeat them."
