Chapter 56 Capture the City
Che Renzhong, Tu'er's personal soldiers and two other personal soldiers fell in a pool of blood. The head of Che Renzhong, the general officer of Chaozhou Town appointed by the Qing court, was held in his hand by this Confucian scholar who claimed to be Liu Yizhou, aide to the Fujian Governor's Yamen. When that was the case, Chen Kai shouted loudly, and the soldiers were all stunned on the spot, staring at the current scene in the solemn and solemn lobby in a daze. Even the two officers leading the team looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
The bloody scene in the lobby was like a hell demon, and the four of Chen Kai and others were mixed with the smell of urine from Huang Menglin or the master's crotch. This scene was beyond the imagination of these soldiers. Even the two officers were at the same level on weekdays and had no precedent of giving orders to each other. In such a scene, they seemed hesitant.
Chen Kai knew very well that at this point, his momentum was the most undesirable. Seeing this, he took a step forward, and stretched his right hand with Che Renzhong's head forward a little, and shouted loudly again: "The Ming Dynasty King's Army only killed the evil spirits. Now Che Renzhong is dead. Are you still planning to bury him with him?!"
Accompanied by Chen Kai's shouting, Ke Chenmei and the Ming army warrior beside him strode forward with swords, while the other Ming army warrior who controlled Huang Menglin and the division also stabbed the division hard on the thigh, arousing a painful wail.
Chen Kai strode forward, and the soldiers stared at Chen Kai's right hand, stared at the blood-dropping waist knife in the Ming army's hand, and involuntarily retreated. Gradually, dozens of soldiers had withdrawn from the lobby, and Chen Kai and others also stride over the threshold and stood proudly in front of the lobby of the Chaozhou General Mansion.
Dozens of fully armed soldiers were frightened by the four Ming soldiers to the yard, and no one felt ashamed or humiliated, because even their general who was the most brave and cruel and outlawed person on weekdays had his head in his hands, so what could these people be counted?
The psychological defense line of the soldiers gradually collapsed, and some of the soldiers holding the weapons could not help but tremble. At this moment, the last straw that crushed the camel was finally completely collapsed at the moment when the gate of the General's Mansion was hit violently.
"The villain deserves ten thousand deaths, and the villain deserves ten thousand deaths."
"The villain had no choice but to follow Che Renzhong, and he also asked the King of Master for forgiveness."
“…”
With the first one, the weapon was thrown to the ground, and a group of soldiers fell to the ground, claiming to be a death sentence. A moment later, the gate was broken, and Ke Chenshu and others rushed in, but were shocked by the scene in front of them.
"Join the army, are you okay?"
Chen Kai was covered in blood and really scared Ke Chenshu. Seeing Chen Kai like this, Ke Chenshu glared at his younger brother without hesitation, which really made the latter tremble.
"It's okay, I'm fine. Everything is going according to the original plan. By the way, has Du Hui entered the city?"
Youdao is the elder brother like his father. Before Ke Chenshu scolded Ke Chenmei, Chen Kai immediately changed the subject, but Ke Chenshu did not forget to look at his younger brother. The meaning contained in his eyes seemed to be talking about today's faults, and he would settle the score with you when everything was done.
"If you go back to join the army, you have already entered the city. It is estimated that you should have already rushed to the barracks."
"I can't estimate that I'll leave it to you here, so I'll let Lingdi lead the team to the barracks quickly. In addition, I'll take down the government office for a few more people."
The three key points in the city, the General Office, the Prefectural Office and the Barracks, are now the first one in the hands of the Ming army, and Du Hui also brought people to take down the barracks. Chen Kai knew very well that Che Renzhong's subordinates were a group of mobs, but their staff were too small. Now they are simply winning by a sudden attack, and killing Che Renzhong. At this point, they must fight slowly and control these key points as early as possible to get the city.
"Join the army, your safety has been given by the Guo family for many years. I'd better sit here and ask my brother to cooperate with Du Hui to capture the barracks. I'll take people to get the government office."
Ke Chenshu is definitely not trying to win the credit. Originally, Chen Kai led the team to kill Che Renzhong, and he was the biggest opponent, because in Zheng Chenggong's view, Chen Kai's importance is obviously greater. This is nothing more than the strategic point of the entire army. The reason why Chen Kai, who has formulated a plan, is indeed the most likely reason for the success of the entire Nan'ao Island.
However, at this moment, Chen Kai shook his head and said to Ke Chenshu: "Now there is no time to care about these things. The general town government must control it. This is a fundamental point. There are too many things that need to be dealt with. Only you are here can I feel at ease. On Du Hui's side, the combat mission of Liushizhai in the battle was completed very well. I can trust him. If Lingdi helps, the chances of winning will be greater."
Speaking of this, Chen Kai pointed to Huang Menglin and the master at the door, and then smiled at Ke Chenshu, "I am a civil servant, and the government office is my place to go. Besides, with these two guys there, there is no defense for me!"
After discussion, Ke Chenshu led twenty Ming troops to disperse the surrendered troops and drove these soldiers to take the entire general town into control.
Ke Chenmei brought Che Renzhong's head and also brought twenty Ming troops to the barracks. However, the soldiers there were suddenly attacks by Du Hui's troops and were already in chaos. When Ke Chenmei's troops arrived, in addition to a very small number of escapes, most of them completely gave up their resistance after discovering that the Ming army had subsequent reinforcements.
The general town government and barracks successively captured it, but the prefectural yamen in the north of the city had already closed the gate when Chen Kai arrived. The yamen runners and the idles were ready.
Chen Kai only had a dozen Ming soldiers in his hands, including the two Ming army warriors who followed him to assassinate Che Renzhong. Seeing this, Chen Kai didn't talk nonsense and pushed Huang Menglin to the ground, and stepped on the man's back with one foot.
"Che Renzhong is dead, Huang Menglin is in my hands. This official recruits the general to join the army, acts as the Chaozhou magistrate Chen Kai, and orders you and others to open the door to surrender to the Ming Dynasty's King's Army!"
Compared with the soldiers in the General Office and the barracks, the officials, runners and gangs in the government office are all local people in Chaozhou. They have been doing their jobs here for generations. It is Ming and Qing, and no one will touch the jobs of local tyrants, which is not much different from them. Originally, Li Chengdong entered Guangdong and opened the city to surrender. They just shave their heads and changed their clothes to continue working here. Now, seeing the Ming army enter the city, the guy who takes the lead is clearly a cruel character who is more deadly than a car. Who has the leisure to try whether Chen Kai will be ruthless after they choose to resist?
After a shout of anger, the gate of the government office opened. The Tongzhi held Huang Menglin's seal of the prefect and fell to the front of the government office with a group of officials and yamen runners. Chen Kai did not hesitate at all, and snatched the seal of the prefect and took everyone into the government office on his own, and then sat directly in the seat of the prefect who was in the office of the official hall of the government office.
"I will start testing the account book, inventory, etc. tomorrow. Today, to be precise, now, I will immediately send someone to post Anmin notices, and they will move them to me. The lazy guy that I can't stand the most!"
