Two days after Wuhu was captured by the Zhejiang army, the Qing navy stationed in Dangtu sent the news to Jiangning. The Governor of Liangjiang Lang Tingzuo immediately submitted a request to Prince An Yue Le, asking a large army to encircle and suppress Zhang Huangyan. At the same time, he said that it must be the Zhang bandits who made people impersonate Manchu and Mongolian soldiers, kill Qing officers and soldiers, disrupted the situation, made people panic and the local area difficult to rest.

Before the Guangdong thief scholar emerged, Yue Le knew that the emperor wanted to capture and kill three people the most, namely Li Dingguo, the thief in the southwest, Zheng Sen of Jinxia, ​​and Zhang Huangyan, the Zhejiang thief in Zhoushan. So when he heard that Zhang Huangyan appeared in Wuhu again, Yue Le was overjoyed. He couldn't take the thief Zheng Sen. Li Dingguo was driven out of the country by Doni. The thief scholar was far away in Jiangxi, but Zhang Huangyan was under his nose, so he could not accept the great contributions he brought to his door.

Yue Le originally intended to lead the army to capture Zhang Huangyan himself, but he could not resist Lang Tingzuo's advice, saying that although the Zhejiang bandits made a comeback, they would inevitably be declining without the response of the pirates. Why should the Prince lead the army himself? Just send a general to the Zhejiang bandits, then the Zhejiang bandits would inevitably collapse as before. At that time, they would only have to surround them tightly, and Zhang Huangyan could not fly.

Lang Tingzuo reminded Yue Le again that Jiangnan had not yet been pacified, and Su Song's admiral Ma Fengzhi was not reliable. Guan Xiaozhong took away eight thousand elite troops, so Jiangning had to be controlled by the prince and could not leave easily. Yue Le thought it was right, so he wanted Gushan Ezhen Shuoerhui to lead the army to attack Wuhu, but Shuoerhui was infected with the cold, and could not lead the army. Lang Tingzuo suggested that Gushan Ezhen Jinli, who had just come from Fujian, lead the army to encircle and suppress Zhang Huangyan.

"Jin Li was the first man who was the Ming army in Wubao Dusi. Later, he surrendered to our Qing Dynasty and was awarded the position of Jiala Ezhen by Emperor Taizu. I remember clearly that in the second year of Chongde, Jin Li attacked Ming from Emperor Taizong. When he attacked Pi Island, he failed to advance with the navy commander of Deputy General Gao Hongzhong, which led to the defeat of the front army by the Ming army of the Maolong tribe of Pi Island. After the war, Jin Li was killed, but Emperor Taizong ordered a special order to pardon because Jin Li made contributions in his early years. Judging from this matter, Jin Li is not worth using it."

Yue Le was a little dissatisfied with the candidate proposed by Lang Tingzuo. Lang Tingzuo hurriedly said, "The prince doesn't know that Jin Li was in the past, but after entering the pass with the army in the first year of Shunzhi, he made a lot of contributions. He first led Tai with Li to pacify the riots in Tianjin, and then attacked Huguang from Shuncheng County Prince Lukede, and attacked Wuchang with Gushan Ezhen Liu Zhiyuan, and seized more than 60 warships. Then he went to Hunan to teach General Pingnan and stationed Zhejiang. In the ninth year of Shunzhi, the Zheng army of Jin Xia attacked Zhangzhou, and the court ordered Jin Li to lead his troops to help. When he arrived in Quanzhou, the Zheng army did not dare to fight against the retreat of Jiangdong Bridge. Jin Li entered Zhangzhou from Changtai and divided the troops to Wansong Pass as a corner. He won all seven battles. Zhangzhou surrounded and resolved, and made merits, and advanced to the first-class Ashihanihafan and Tuoshalahafan, and stayed in Fujian since then. This time, he led troops to Jiangning under the order of Dasuzhi."

"So, he is a good general."

Yue Le nodded. He actually didn't know much about Jin Li, but when he was a child, he heard his father Abatai accidentally talk about it. Since this person performed well after entering the pass, Lang Tingzuolibao, or someone sent by Dasu, Yue Le agreed to the matter.

However, what Yue Le and Lang Tingzuo didn't know was that Jin Li was actually driven from Fujian to Jiangning by Dasu because Jin Li had a close relationship with Zhao Guozuo, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and was very dissatisfied with Dasu, the minister of the Inner Court. Last year, Dasu easily marched into Jinxia, ​​resulting in the annihilation of the Zhejiang-Fujian Navy. Because he was afraid of the Qing court's crime, he lied to the victory. Jin Li made a memorial and reported the matter to the court to know, but Dasu was ordered by Sony and the others to suppress it.

Afterwards, Dasu wanted to take revenge on Jin Li. When the Guangdong Taiping Army attacked the southern Fujian region, Dasu asked Jin Li to attack the Taiping Army, but he did not give him troops or grain. What did Jin Li use to deal with the Taiping Army? Fortunately, the Taiping Army only plagued several counties in southern Fujian. After robbing the money and grain, he retreated and returned to Chaozhou. Jin Li saved his life. He failed to get rid of Jin Li with the hands of the Taiping Army, so Dasu had to think of another way. God gave the opportunity, Jiangning was in a hurry, so Dasu sent Jin Li to help Jiangning again. This time he gave Jin Li a soldier, but only 600 armored Han army. Dasu originally thought that the Zheng army had more than 100,000 troops besieged Jiangning, and Jiangning City would be lost, so Jin Li must die when he rushed to Jiangning. However, he thought that before Jin Li arrived in Jiangning, the Zheng army was defeated.

With the strong recommendation of Lang Tingzuo, Yue Le assigned 5,000 troops to Jin Li. In addition to the 600 armored soldiers he brought from Fujian, there were 1,600 troops Bao Zhao's troops in Hebei, 1,500 troops in Shandong, and 2,000 troops in Liang Jiaqi's troops in Shandong. Jin Li did not expect that Prince An and the Governor of Liangjiang valued him so much, so he was naturally willing to serve the work of the Zhejiang thief Zhang Huangyan, and he would defeat the high hopes of the prince and the governor.

However, when Jin Li led his army out of Jiangning City and arrived at Dasheng Pass, Prince An's Goshha came quickly and sent one person to his army, saying that this person was Prince An's instructions to be heard in the army, and did not give him real positions, but was a free position under his command.

Jin Li didn't care. Prince An sent someone to the army to listen to it. He must have wanted this person to make a fortune. He didn't want to see that person, but he was shocked and said in a lost voice: "Master Tuhai, why are you in Jiangning?"

"Eh, don't want to break the evil spirits. I am now in a state of sin, but I can't afford to call Eh, the master."

The 32-year-old man of Zhenghuang Banner, the old surname of Fei Mo, was once the Prince's Taibao. Tu Hai, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, stepped forward with a wry smile and saluted Jin Li, without any arrogance as the Manzhou people.

"I dare not, I dare not!"

Although Jin Li surrendered to the Qing Dynasty in his early years, he was the Han military flag after all. Although Tu Hai was a man of guilt, he was also a genuine bannerman of Manzhou. Prince An personally sent someone to send him to the army. Who knew if he would be revived one day? So Jin Li did not dare to accept Tu Hai's gift, so he hurriedly turned down and helped him up from the horse.

"It has been seven years since I left the capital. I don't want to see Lord Tuhai here today. It's true."

Jin Li didn't know what to say, but he also heard about Tuhai's crime in Fujian, but because of the cheating case in Jiangnan's provincial examination last year, Tuhai, who served in the Ministry of Justice, was implicated and was demoted to the third level by the emperor. But he did not expect that Tuhai would come to Jiangning.

When the generals of Hebei General Bao Zhao and Shandong General Wang Yizheng and other generals saw that the team suddenly stopped moving forward, they rode horses to ask why Ezhen stopped moving forward. Wang Yizheng did not know Tuhai around Jin Li, but Bao Zhao knew it and whispered to tell him the origin of Tuhai. When he heard that this person was from the Huangqi of Manzhou Province, he also served as the Minister of Justice, Prince Taibao, and editor of "History of Ming Dynasty", Wang Yizheng was really shocked. He couldn't figure out how such a big man would be sent by Prince An to the army to be punished for punishment.

Jin Li naturally also asked about this matter, and Tuhai did not hide it and told the matter. It turned out that in March this year, the Manchu Guard Alana and the Baoyi slave from Duke Erke Daiqing's family were beaten to the city. As a result, Tuhai was the chief trial of the case and found that it was Alana's fault, so he sentenced Alana to 100. Unexpectedly, the emperor was furious after hearing the judgment and believed that Tuhai actually favored the Han Baoyi slaves and were in charge of the children of Manzhou. He was indecisive. He actually ordered Tuhai to strictly handle Tuhai and dismiss his position. He had both his property and his family property were also sent to the prince as slaves.

It happened that Tuhai was sent to Prince An as a slave. Prince An Yue Le always valued Tuhai, thinking that he was a rare talent in Manchuria, so he always wanted to calm him down. But he was not able to start with it because he had no good time. Three months later, Yue Le received the imperial edict and went south, and deliberately brought Tuhai with him, in order to find an opportunity to make some contributions, and fortunately say a few words to him in front of the imperial court.

"Mr. Tuhai must not be discouraged. This time, I will lead the army to encircle and suppress Zhejiang gang Zhang Huangyan. It is a good opportunity for me to make meritorious contributions. I think the prince made this arrangement specially."

Jin Li smiled and comforted Tuhai. The other party was from Manzhou and was once a major official in the political discussion. Prince An had to trust him. It was inevitable that he would not do anything to follow the favors of the people. At that moment, he asked his personal soldiers to give up his mount and give it to Tuhai. Then he ordered the entire army to set off immediately and head straight to Wuhu.

Along the way, Tu Hai was very self-aware. Although it was sent by Prince An, he did not turn against the enemy and did not criticize military affairs. He was respectful and Jin Li was happy when he saw it.
