The Qing Dynasty Huang Banner Gushan Ezhen Daya Dali led 5,000 Eight Banners and more than 12,000 naval forces of Zhejiang Navy Admiral Zhang Jie to guard Haining City. The soldiers were few and the generals were in panic. When they were in panic all day long, they suddenly reported to Jinhua.
We are overjoyed to have 13,000 soldiers and horses come to our aid. In this way, Haining's military strength reaches 30,000, which is worthy of a battle.
Both of these officers were older than Ma Jinbao, but unfortunately they both had only a few defeated soldiers left. On the contrary, Ma Jinbao was lucky and guarded Shaoxing, because Yang Huai had brought the main force of the Lu division from Ningbo and Taizhou to attack Wenzhou. Lin Cha's
The navy mainly focused on Zhang Jie's navy and had no time to take care of him. Therefore, his army structure was well preserved. The two were eager to win over him and held a banquet to cleanse him.
Ma Jinbao was secretly proud. In these troubled times, if you have soldiers, you are the grass-headed king. We have so many soldiers and horses that even Manchuria’s Gushan and Admiral Zhang invited me to have a drink!
He is a wonderful man! A poor boy, his family was poor when he was a child and he had no money to study. When he grew up, he especially admired scholars. He especially liked to make friends with celebrities and respected great scholars such as Wumeicun and Qian Qianyi. Wumeicun looked down on him.
The poem sarcastically said: "I don't know where a general is, but he is a hero in the sun. The sheep sing in the back room and march in the team, and the guests and swords are in groups." Qian Qian had a deep city, so he had a fierce fight with him.

There is a joke about this man. Once during the Chinese New Year, a down-and-out scholar came to him to borrow money. Mr. Ma said, if you write a couplet for us, if it is well written, I will give you a thousand pieces of gold. The scholar was stunned for a moment, unable to think of anything.
Because of the good sentence, he used the poems of Liu Changqing of the Tang Dynasty to tease him, and presented a couplet saying: "Old generals from Yuyang often return to the banquet, and most of the students from the state of Lu are at home." When Ma saw it, he exclaimed that it was well written, and I often help scholars.
Isn’t it just that Zhusheng was half at home? I gave him a thousand gold as a gift, but who knew it was not original, but a poem from the Tang Dynasty. Later I found out that I had been deceived, and sent troops to capture the scholar, but he had escaped without a trace.
Everyone has two sides. Mr. Ma is kind to scholars, but he is cruel to the common people. If the common people under his rule have some spare money, and he finds out about it, he will taint them as bandits, extort and extort, and do whatever they can. Poems written by Wu Meicun
Said: "Thousands of boxes of cloth were transported to the carts, and the department stores were filled with fish and salt. The general counted the high salaries one by one and ordered a prison search of the countryside. If the enemy is not suing for annexation, he will take the thieves out of the bag."
"General Ma has come a long way to work hard, so I would like to offer you a glass of wine." Daya Dali raised his glass.
"Thank you so much." Ma Jinbao was very proud of the Manchurian Gushan toast. In fact, he didn't know that this Daya Dali was not the authentic Manchurian Gushan, but the Mongolian Gushan with a yellow flag.
Take the glass and drink it in one gulp.
Zhang Jie also raised his glass and asked: "Brother Ma, let me give you a toast."
"Thank you so much, Admiral Zhang." Ma Jinbao can not only bring treasures, but also wine, and "Gudong" is another cup.
Seeing the warm atmosphere, Daya Dali once again held a cup and said, "The military situation is urgent. I wonder if General Ma's men can fight tomorrow?"
After getting drunk, Ma Jinbao suddenly became angry and said, "Please give me your instructions!"
"Good", Daya Dali praised: "I have heard that General Ma is good at fighting, and his reputation is well-deserved. Haining City is small and strong, and the thousands of men in our department plus the navy of Admiral Zhang's department can defend it. It's just a matter of concern.
The other is Chang'an Zhen'er. Once the Ming army captures this town, it will cut off the land connection between Haining and Hangzhou. I want to let the general guard this town, what about it?"
Ma Jinbao had previously suppressed the Lu Jianguo rebel army and won many battles. After he was stationed in Shaoxing, he did not suffer any serious losses because the stationed area was not in the main direction of the Ming army's attack. He was inevitably arrogant and even privately said that Governor Xiao did not know how to fight.
If he had commanded the withdrawal of Shao, Jin, Yan, and Hu, he would not be so cowardly.
At that moment, he stood up and said: "Don't worry, I am willing to guard Chang'an Town, and I will let the Ming army taste my power!"

Nan'an Marquis Hao Yongzhong led Xuanping Bo Dong Fangce and a 30,000-strong army from Hui Zhiguan's corps. Under the escort of Lincha Navy, they landed at Hainingwei in Jiaxing Prefecture. After receiving the news, Li Benzhen and Hu Maozhen hurriedly greeted him on the shore.<

"Commander, it's great that you come to the Northern Front. Now we have enough troops on the Northern Front to fight a big battle!"
"Yes! We are looking forward to the commander-in-chief. If there is a long drought, we are looking forward to the rain. Prepare a little wine to wash away the dust for the commander-in-chief."
Li Benzhen and Hu Maozhen wanted to hold a banquet to welcome Hao Yongzhong, but Hao Yongzhong refused. It turned out that Hao Yongzhong had been following Yan Tianfeng to fight with the Qing army in Xianxia Ridge. The terrain in Xianxia Ridge was too dangerous, so he did not get any great achievements.
I am anxious, eager to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds, and I don’t care about drinking.
"I appreciate your kindness. I am a rough man and don't understand any big principles. I only know that as a general, the most important thing is to make military exploits. If you act too late, others will make the military exploits. But there is no time.
Drink! Let’s wait until Haining City is captured before drinking this drink."
Upon hearing this, all the generals cheered up and responded in unison.
"Commander, the general thought that if we attack Haining directly, we might as well attack Chang'an Town first. This town is located between Haining and Hangzhou. Capturing it will prevent the enemies of Hangzhou from rescuing Haining and turn it into an isolated city." Li Benzhen told Hao Yongzhong
Foreword.
Hao Yongzhong opened the map and looked at it, nodding repeatedly, "Admiral Li said yes, let's fight like this. General Hui, you will lead your troops to monitor the enemy in Haining, and the other generals will follow my troops to Chang'an Town. Rest for one day and set off tomorrow morning.
”.
"The last general takes command!"

On November 1, the twenty-fifth year of Chongzhen's reign in the Ming Dynasty, the battle of Chang'an Town began.
Forty thousand Ming troops came overwhelmingly.
Ma Jinbao didn't know how powerful he was, so he led an army of 13,000 to fight.
Dong Fangce was on the left, Hao Yongzhong was in the middle, Li Benzhen, and Hu Maozhen were on the right, fiercely attacking the Qing army.
When Hao Yongzhong was in the rebel army, he liked to carry the flag and charge, so he was nicknamed: "Hao Waoqi". After returning to the Ming Dynasty, his official position became bigger and bigger, and the number of times he personally carried the flag and charged became less.
This time when he conquered Zhejiang, he struggled with the Qing army in Xianxia Ridge for too long and failed to make any great achievements. When he got anxious, he actually carried the flag and charged in person.
When General Hao Bu saw the commander carrying the flag, his morale immediately rose to the extreme, and he beat Ma Jinbao's flag fiercely.
Before Dong Fangce, Li Benzhen, and Hu Maozhen could break through the Qing army's formation, Hao Yaoqi's Chinese army had already wedged itself deeply into Ma Jinbao's Chinese army.
Ma Jinbao was confused. He boasted about his bravery, but he had never seen anyone so brave. When other people were fighting, the coach would hide behind the formation, test carefully, and finally go out to fight. How could the coach carry the banner and charge in person when the battle started? When Ma Jinbao was confused, his heart panicked; when his heart panicked, he lost his fighting spirit. It didn't take long for Hao Yongzhong to kill the horse within twenty steps of the BMW.
Ma Jinbao was frightened and fled, causing the Qing army's military formation to completely collapse.
It only took Hao Yongzhong an hour to defeat Ma Jinbao, and then took advantage of the situation to capture Chang'an Town, driving the Qing army to the bottom of Haining City.
When Ma Jinbao fled back to Haining, there were only 6,000 soldiers and horses left out of 13,000.
He didn't blame himself for underestimating the enemy, but secretly complained that Daya Dali and Zhang Jie were hateful. They knew clearly that the Ming army was powerful, but they would not let him stay in the city. They wanted to trick him into dying in Chang'an Town outside the city.
While he was feeling upset in the military camp, Ma Fu, a soldier, reported: "Commander, someone wants to see you."
"No, this town is troubled!"
Ma Fu quietly walked up to Ma Jinbao and said: "Commander, someone said they brought a letter from Mr. Qian."
