Yongjia County, the capital of Wenzhou, is named after the Yongning River in the north of the city, also known as Yongjia River. "Yongjia" means "long and beautiful water".
Chen Jin, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian in the Qing Dynasty, relied on this long and beautiful river to confront Yang Huai, the deputy general of Pinglu in the Ming Dynasty.
On this day, he had just finished patrolling the river defense when he received the military report from Belle Tunqi.
"What! The Ming army captured Yushan County and is attacking Jiangshan County?"
Chen Jin stared at the map and felt dizzy.
The Ming army has captured the west and south of Quzhou, and can attack the rear of Xianxia Ridge at any time to cut off our army's return path!
After all, he was an important member of the party. Chen Jin quickly sorted out his thoughts and ordered nearly 40,000 troops from Tunqi, Hahamu, Galai Daojia, and Jinli tribes to quickly pass through Suichang County and evacuate Jinhua Mansion to the north; he led Liu Zhiyuan himself
, Tong Haonian, more than 20,000 people from various tribes moved to Jinhua via Qingtian and Lishui.
If he wants to withdraw, he has to ask the Ming army if they agree.
Yang Huai led more than 30,000 Ming troops to chase Chen Jin's ass and beat him to death. They fought many times in Qingtian, Lishui and other counties.
In this kind of pursuit battle, the party being pursued often suffers a lot. The Qing army suffered heavy losses.
Chen Jin had a bad temper. He felt that this would not work. He had to win the battle, otherwise it would be difficult to escape the pursuit of the Ming army.
When retreating to Yunfeng Mountain (now Xuefeng Mountain in Jinyun County, Zhejiang Province), Chen Jin ambushed his troops in the mountain.
The vanguard of the Ming army, Ma Xin, Zheng Lin, and Fu Wenhuan were in the front with 10,000 troops; the middle army with Yang Huai, Du Zixiang, Li Rubi, and Huang Dazhen were in the middle with 15,000 troops; the rear army with Gu Zhong and Luo Yunzhang were with nearly 10,000 troops
After that, slowly fight towards Yunfeng Mountain.
At the top of Dailing Mountain in Yunfeng Mountain, Chen Jin saw that the Ming army had entered the ambush circle and ordered: "Attack!"
When the cannon sounded, Liu Zhiyuan rushed out along the Haoxi River on the east side of Dailing; Tong Haonian fought along the Nanxi River on the west side of Dailing; Chen Jin rushed down from the top of Dailing.
The Ming army did not expect that the Qing army, which was being chased like a lost dog, actually dared to set up an ambush. It was panicked for a while, and the formation was in chaos.
Chen Jin each divided a thousand-man team to block the front and rear armies of the Ming army, and concentrated his forces to attack the central army of the Ming army.
Liu Zhiyuan rushed towards Yang Huai's commanding flag from the east and met the commander-in-chief Du Zixiang. Du Zixiang was caught off guard and was killed by Liu Zhiyuan's soldiers.
Huang Dazhen, the general of the Ming Dynasty, was gathering his troops when Chen Jin's Chinese army arrived and died in a fierce battle.
Tong Haonian came from the west and was stopped by Li Rubi, the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty.
An ordinary mediocre general would definitely lose his will to fight and run away when encountering such a ferocious ambush.
But Yang Huai was not the case. He was a member of Zhu Hengjia's personal guard. During the bloody battle at Baiyun Mountain, Su Pin, the most powerful general under Ding Kuichu's command, rushed to Yunfeng to kill Zhu Hengjia. He relied on Yang Huai to lead thirty personal guards to kill Su Pin and protect him.
This kind of fierce general who once stayed in front of the emperor to protect him was naturally a man of superb martial arts, bold and careful.
Yang Huai knew that the Qing army was smaller in number than his own army, and the ambush in the face of consecutive defeats was just relying on the last bit of vigor. Just like Su Pin back then, as long as he could withstand the enemy's offensive, he would definitely win.
"Beat the drums and gather the troops!"
Yang Huai gave orders to the Chinese army.
"Dong dong dong dong dong dong!"
When the scattered Ming troops heard the drums, they gathered around Yang Huai.
Liu Zhiyuan squinted his eyes and followed the sound of the drums. Sure enough, he saw Yang Huai's handsome flag. The big "Yang" character on it was particularly eye-catching.
Yang Huai also saw him, no, he saw his general flag, a big flag with the word "Liu" in it, and countless yellow flags with red edges, and the Han army flags with the dragon's head facing forward.
"The Han army with a yellow flag is the source of the real Liu in the mountain front?"
Yang Huai was furious. Anyone who knew Yang Huai knew that Zhongyong Hou Yang Huai hated traitors the most, especially big traitors like Liu Zhiyuan.
He ordered the flag-protecting school to guard Shuai Qi, and personally led three hundred cavalry soldiers to kill Liu Zhiyuan.
Generally, a general with tens of thousands of troops will have thousands of personal soldiers around him, less than a thousand, at least seven or eight hundred. But Yang Huai only has 300 personal soldiers. He is a member of Zhu Hengjia's personal guard, so he chooses his own soldiers.
The soldiers were completely based on the standards of Ouchi bodyguards, so I chose from thousands of choices and only selected these three hundred soldiers. Although there are few people, they are all skilled in bow and horse and extremely elite.
There was a huge chaos in the formation just now. Yang Huai was afraid that the three hundred elite cavalry would lose speed in the chaos and be taken advantage of by the enemy, so he placed them in the center and stood still.
Now seeing the traitor Liu Zhiyuan's general flag, Yang Huai was so angry that he led three hundred tigers down the mountain to kill the enemy.
"Da da da!"
"Da da da!"
Three hundred cavalrymen rolled up smoke and charged towards Liu Zhiyuan.
Liu Zhiyuan was shocked. There were only a few dozen cavalry around him, and the rest were infantry. Although the ambush disrupted the Ming army's formation, during the melee, the Qing army's formation was no longer neat. Unexpectedly, the Ming army's formation was no longer neat.
There are actually hundreds of cavalry.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom!"
The Ming army rushed to the Qing army's formation, took out a three-eyed blunderbuss, and fired three rounds first. This kind of blunderbuss can't shoot far, but it is very powerful and is a powerful weapon in close combat.
Nine hundred projectiles shot down hundreds of Qing soldiers at once.
After shooting the musket, the Ming army took out the lance and used the momentum of the horse to pierce the Qing army's armor. Then, he rotated his wrist to let the muzzle of the gun droop, and used the horse power to let the lance slide out of the corpse automatically. If it was stabbed too much
Deep down, there was a situation where the lance was dragging the corpse away. At this time, the lance could only be thrown away and replaced with a saber to avoid slowing down the horse.
Three hundred tigers killed the Qing army like they were chopping melons and vegetables. Corpses of the Qing army littered the fields. In front of the tigers, the Qing army became sheep.
When Yang Huaichi arrived in front of Liu Zhiyuan, Liu Zhiyuan's personal soldier Qian Zong was about to stop him. Yang Huai's sword arrived. It was a good sword, both fast and accurate. Yang Huai, who had experienced many battles, knew how to kill people with the least effort. With the help of his horse's momentum, he
Remember the diagonal split, thousands of personal soldiers, split into two pieces.
Liu Zhiyuan shouted secretly, so he turned his horse and fled. Yang Huai pursued him.
"Da da da!"
"Da da da!"
Liu Zhiyuan is a veteran on the battlefield and has his own life-saving skills. Hearing the wind blowing behind his head, he jerked his neck and "bang", his helmet fell to the ground.
I was so frightened that I clamped my legs around the horse's belly, whipped the horse whip wildly, "Drive, drive, drive" and fled as fast as flying.
Yang Huai cried out that it was a pity. He was the commander-in-chief of the entire army and was responsible for commanding the entire army. He did not dare to stray too far from his own flag. He chased for a while and returned to the position of the flag.

After Liu Zhiyuan's troops were defeated, the Qing army's momentum was reduced. Their attempt to quickly defeat the central Ming army came to nothing.
The two sides are in a stalemate, and time is in favor of the side with more people.
Chen Jin only sent one thousand troops each to block the Ming army's front and rear armies. These troops could not delay the attack for too long.
The vanguards of the Ming army, Ma Xinbu, Zheng Lin, Fu Wenhuan, and rear troops Gu Zhong and Luo Yunzhang, killed the Qing army that blocked them and then attacked the Chinese army.
When Chen Jin saw the Ming army's front and rear troops arriving, he knew that it was impossible to defeat the Ming army's center and kill the enemy's commander. He ordered the troops to retreat to Wuyi County.
The Ming army was afraid of an ambush and did not pursue them.
??
In the big tent on the outskirts of Wuyi County, Chen Jin was reading a book, his brows furrowed, and he was holding a ball of fire in his heart. In the battle of Yunfeng Mountain, his side clearly had the advantage at the beginning, but in the end he failed to defeat the Ming army. He was very angry.
Need to vent.
"Master, the porridge is ready, please use it." Ku Chengdong, the family slave, cautiously brought in a bowl of porridge.
Chen Jin picked up the spoon and took a sip. The anger hidden in his heart was instantly ignited, "Slave dog, it's so hot. Do you want to burn me to death?"
"Sir, have mercy on me," Ku Chengdong knelt down with a plop, trembling all over with fear.
He is a domestic slave, not a servant. In this era, it is not illegal for a master to kill a domestic slave, but killing a hired "servant" is punishable as murder. Chen Jin is famous for being stingy and cruel, and likes to exploit the family
He would whip the slaves to death if they had any trouble, and countless slaves were whipped to death. During this expedition, five of the twelve slaves who accompanied him were whipped to death, and only seven were left.
.
"I'll beat you to death, you dog slave!"
Chen Jin picked up the riding whip and whipped it towards Ku Chengdong.
"Pah, pah, pah, pah!"
Ku Chengdong closed his eyes, neither daring to dodge nor cry out for pain. He knew his master's temperament. When whipping his slaves, if anyone dared to dodge or cry out for pain, he would be whipped harder and harder. Many people were beaten like this.
Beat him to death.
"Pah, pah, pah, pah!"
Ku Chengdong only hoped that the old man would stop beating when his hands were tired, and his life would be saved.
But Chen Jin was so angry because of the battle at Yunfeng Mountain that he started fighting without feeling tired at all.
“Pah, pah, pah, pah!
Ku Chengdong fainted.
House slaves Li Jinzhong, Li Zhong, and Lu Pichang were on good terms with Ku Chengdong. They knelt down to plead for Ku Chengdong, "Please forgive me!"
"Rebellion! The master is beating people, and you dare to plead for mercy. All the slaves are rebelling!"
Chen Jin was furious and swung his riding whip at Li Jinzhong, Li Zhong and Lu Pichang, and soon beat them to death.
Another slave, Chen En, saw that the situation was not good, and there happened to be a military report that had just arrived beside him, so he hurriedly reported: "Master, there is a military report!"
Hearing that there was a military report, Chen Jin regained his composure, picked up the military report and read it. When he saw the four slaves kneeling in front of the tent, he waved his hands in disgust, like waving flies, and shouted: "Get out of here!"
As if they had been granted amnesty, the four of them helped each other and left.
Entering the back tent, Chen En came to see the four people. The other three hurriedly thanked Chen En for saving him, but Li Zhong sighed: "The Ming army is powerful and I can't defeat it, so I'm angry at us. If you don't die today, you will die tomorrow.
It’s just a matter of living a few more days. I won’t thank Brother Chen Xian, and I will be my brother in the next life!”
Seeing what Li Zhong said so pitifully, everyone looked gloomy.
Everyone knew that Li Zhongping always had ideas, so they all asked Li Zhong for advice: "Brother Li, can you show us a clear path?"
Li Zhong looked ferocious, "If you want to survive, there is only one way, I'm afraid you brothers don't dare!"
"Death is imminent, why shouldn't we dare?"
"As long as Brother Li says something, the brothers will all listen to you!"
"Brother Li, please show me a way to survive!"
Everyone is willing to listen to Li Zhong’s command.
"Okay", Li Zhong paused and said in a deep voice: "If you want to survive, there is only one way: kill the master and bring his governor's seal to the Ming Army. Only in this way can you survive!"
After Li Zhong finished speaking, none of the slaves objected. This shows how much Chen Jin insults his slaves!
Li Zhong added: "The five of us alone are not enough. We have to call on Chen Wu and Chen Liu. They are in charge of the stables. After killing the master, we have to ride away."
Before Chen Wu and Chen Liu, there were several domestic slaves who raised horses, and they all became the ghosts of Chen Jin. In order to no longer engage in this dangerous job, the two agreed to work with Li Zhong and others.
A few days later, one night, two of the guards stationed next to Chen Jin's tent were busy. Yang Li Zhong and Ku Chengdong were asked to take care of them.
When the opportunity came, the two readily agreed.
Li Zhong asked Chen Wu and Chen Liu to prepare horses, while Lu Pichang and Chen En stood guard. He, Li Jinzhong, and Ku Chengdong entered the tent to kill Chen Jin.
When he entered the tent, Chen Jin was sleeping soundly and sounding like thunder.
Li Jinzhong was holding a short knife and wanted to stab him, but his hand was shaking.
Ku Chengdong raised his sword, and Chen Jin suddenly uttered something in his sleep, making his body and legs weak with fear.
Only Li Zhong was bold and courageous. He covered Chen Jin's mouth with his left hand and stabbed Chen Jin in the neck with a short knife in his right hand.
He was killed instantly, and blood arrows spurted out, making Li Zhong's face covered in blood. However, he was not afraid and cut off Chen Jin's head with a short knife.
Everyone found Chen Jin's seal and brought out the horse.
"Quick, mount your horse and go south," Li Zhong ordered.
"Da da da da da", the seven fast horses ran towards the Ming army's camp.
Chen Jin's personal soldiers came back and found that there was no one guarding the tent. When they entered the tent, they said, "No! Chen Duxian's head is gone." They hurriedly reported to Gushan'e Zhenliu Zhiyuan.
Liu Zhiyuan was shocked and sent cavalry to pursue him.
"Drive! Drive! Drive!"
"Drive! Drive! Drive!"
You chased me and fled. Among the seven slaves, only Li Ming was the best horseman. He took Chen Jin's head and the governor's seal and fled to the Ming army camp. The other six were all killed by the pursuers.
??
"What? The captive governor Chen Jin was killed by a few slaves like this?"
Yang Huai couldn't believe it, but after asking Li Zhong and seeing the bloody head and seal, he had no choice but to believe it. He hurriedly reported to Zhu Hengjia and Yan Tianfeng, and took advantage of his illness to kill him, leading his army to pursue the Qing army.<
/p>
The Qing army lost its commander, and its morale was in chaos. Liu Zhiyuan ordered the entire army to withdraw to Jinhua Prefecture to govern Jinhua County. No one wanted to stay behind and fled to Jinhua County in droves.
When it comes to running away, you can't escape if you run slowly.
More than a thousand people from Tong Haonian's tribe in the capital of Qingjia Lazhang were surrounded. He was so afraid of death that he even ignored his family members in Beijing. He led his men to kneel down and beg for surrender. "Please forgive the guilty general in the face of his family," he said.
One life".
"Oh?"
Yang Huai was very surprised: "Do you still have any relatives? Do you have any position in the Ming Dynasty?"
"The kinsman of the guilty general is Tong Yangjia, the governor of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty." Tong Haonian said with a smile on his face, thinking that our old Tong family has a strong foundation, and there are people in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
??
Zhu Hengjia was overjoyed when he saw Yang Huai's memorial and ordered a heavy reward for Li Zhong, the slave who killed Chen Jin.
Unexpectedly, it attracted opposition from a group of Confucian scholars who believed in feudal ethics. They believed that killing the master with a servant violated the principles of human ethics. A domestic slave who rebels against his master is as bad as a minister who rebels against his father. This Li
Not only should loyalty not be rewarded, but it should be killed.
Zhu Hengjia was furious after hearing these rotten Confucian remarks, thinking to himself, do you want me to learn from Zhu Chenggong?
Historically, Li Zhong killed Chen Jin and went to Zhu Chenggong. Not only did Zhu Chenggong not reward him, but he accused him of treason by killing his master as a servant. He killed him and said, "Those who win the Eight Mins are for temporary self-interest; punish the rebels."
The trace is the righteousness of all ages.
Zhu Hengjia felt that Zhu Chenggong was too pedantic. Is it possible that a man would be guilty of killing a traitor?
He said to the ministers: "The great justice of the country is higher than the small justice of the master and the servant. Everyone can kill traitors and ministers, including their slaves."
The imperial edict rewarded Li Ming with five hundred taels of silver and made him the commander of the sentry. From now on, if any domestic slave kills a prisoner official who has committed a heinous crime and two ministers come to surrender, he will be released from the slave status and rewarded heavily.
