The people in the city were trembling. Fang Guoan's soldiers were searching the whole city. They said they were purging spies, but in fact they were taking the opportunity to rob the people. They blocked the four gates and the heavily armed soldiers pulled a net and broke into every house.
There was a wailing and screaming.
There are many big businesses in Fu'an. It is adjacent to Hangzhou and connected to Jiangxi and Huizhou in the west. Therefore, it sells salt, sells tea, and weaves silk. Although it is not as good as Shanxi merchants and Huizhou merchants, the top merchants can move tens of millions of silver merchants, but hundreds of thousands of taels can reach millions.
I still have two net worths.
Fu'an City was repeatedly occupied by the Qing and Ming armies, and these big households were also in bad luck. Now the Qing army came, and they were forced to donate money and food. The day after tomorrow, the Ming army came again, and they had to donate again. This repeated, the big households
They all looked for opportunities to escape, some fled to Hangzhou, some fled to Shaoxing, and some simply fled to Guangdong and Fujian.
But more people could not escape and could only be exploited again and again, but each time the apportionment was not as vicious as this time, they completely did not regard the people of Fu'an as their own, but as enemies to plunder.
Not only were the houses of big business owners accused of collaborating with the enemy, but ordinary people were also not spared, and they robbed money and food. Young and beautiful women were not spared. After the robbery, young and strong men were also recruited into the army.
Forced conscription into the army to expand the army.
"Commander, it's not good."
"A commotion at the city gate."
Fang Guoan opened his clothes and sat in the courtyard admiring the gold and silver jewelry that was constantly being sent in. He didn't take it seriously at all, "These damn big dogs, how dare you resist? Send the order to Fang Yinglong and Fang Renlong, the second commander, who dares?"
If you resist, I will kill you until you are convinced!"
After saying that, he continued to admire a string of beads.
At the south gate of Fuyang, brothers Liu Zhaoji and Liu Zhaoxiang were lurking in a street shop not far behind the city gate. "Wang Xiang is waiting at the north gate, Miao Faxin is at the east gate, and Ruan Weixin and Wang Zongmao are already taking action at the west gate."
"The thieves have sent troops to suppress them."
"It's time for us to take action."
The two brothers were both from Shanyin, Shaoxing. Their father, Liu Mu, was the top martial artist in the Chongzhen Dynasty. He later served as deputy commander of the Yingtian Navy and was a hero of the Shaoxing Uprising. The two brothers also practiced martial arts since childhood. Liu Zhaoji practiced martial arts in elementary school, while
Liu Zhaoxiang learned Bi Jia's marksmanship by chance. At that time, there was a thief in Huizhou, Bi Kunyang, who was good at using guns. His marksmanship was known as Bi Jia's gun, which was very good. He was later arrested and imprisoned. Liu Zhaoxiang bribed the jailer and visited him every day with wine and meat.
, and helped him escape from prison. After Bi Kunyang was released from prison, he taught Liu Zhaoxiang the Bi family's marksmanship.
Bi Kunyang was a great master of marksmanship in the world. He was good friends with Shanghai Siping Gun Master Chu Shibao and Iron Gun Wu Junqing.
During the Hongguang period, he also recruited three people to serve as guerrilla generals.
After Liu Zhaoxiang learned Bijiaqiang, he passed it on to his brother Liu Zhaoji. The two brothers were good at swordsmanship and shooting, and were good at riding and shooting. When the Qing general Lang Jindou occupied Fuyang, it was the Liu brothers who led their troops to attack on Yu Ying's orders.
.
Attacking Fuyang at night, Lang Jindou went out to fight, but was killed by Liu Zhaoxiang with an iron gun, throwing away his helmet and armor. After taking advantage of the victory to capture Fuyang, he went to attack Yuhang.
After that, the local gentry Miao Faxin, Wang Xiang and others in Fuyang asked themselves to lead local volunteers to guard the place, so the Liu brothers moved to Qingfengling. The Liu brothers handed over Fuyang to Miao Faxin and others, and the Qing army soon arrived. Although Miao Faxin and others were local gentry,
, but the volunteers recruited were mixed, and many were scoundrels. When the Qing army came, they all fled, and Fuyang fell again.
Taking advantage of the victory, the Qing army attacked Qingfengling. Although the Liu brothers had few soldiers, they fought to the death. In the end, their father Liu Mu led troops to help them, and they were able to repel the Qing army.
They finally repelled the Qing army, but Fang Guoan came to take advantage and occupied Fuyang. This made the Liu brothers very dissatisfied.
Later, Yu Ying and others mediated and agreed to hand over Fuyang to Fang Guoan for garrison. However, because Fang Guoan robbed the people too much, Zhang Guowei later conveyed the decree of supervising the country and ordered him to withdraw from Fuyang.
At that time, Liu Mu took his two sons to Fuyang City and invited Fang Guoan's general Ma Han to fight. They agreed to a contest to determine the ownership of Fuyang. Liu Mu took his two sons to the battle and fought three games with General Ma Han, Fang Yuanke and Yu Yusan.
Defeat Mahan and three other generals.
Mahan had no choice but to withdraw from Fuyang as agreed.
Not long ago, Zhang Cunren and Xiao Qiyuan of Hangzhou sent Tian Xiong to attack Yuhang. Liu Mu led his two sons to send troops to the north for reinforcements. There was a fierce battle at the front, but Fang Guoan once again took advantage of the situation and captured Fuyang and Qian counties.
They even cut off the supply of food and wages to Liu Mu's army from behind, causing Liu Mu to have no more food and grass, so he had to abandon Yuhang and retreat south to Qingfengling.
For Liu Mu and his son, the counties west of Hangzhou and north of the Fuchun River were the defense zones assigned to them by the imperial court, but Fang Guoan took action again and again, which no one could tolerate.
Today, the two brothers came to take back Fuyang. They contacted Miao Faxin and other local gentry in Fuyang in advance, and they sneaked into the city. Their father Liu Muze led his lieutenants Lu Jiankui, Wang Yinchang and others to ambush outside the city.
Miao Faxin and other local gentry had long been fed up with Fang Guoan. They were appointed to official positions in Shaoxing because of their righteous deeds and meritorious deeds. However, Fang Guoan's subordinates did not take them seriously and still exploited and extorted them, demanding large amounts of silver.
Liu Zhaoxiang raised the iron gun and said, "Today I will put Thief Fang's head on this iron gun!"
Liu Zhaoji wiped his sword one last time.
"Get rid of thieves for the country!"
Originally, Fang Guoan, as the earl of Zhennan and a general conferred by the imperial court, should not have internal strife at this time. However, Fang Guoan repeatedly attacked the Liu family and his son.
Even my uncle can't bear it and my aunt can't bear it.
Pushing open the shop door, the brothers shouted and rushed out.
The doors of each street shop were opened, and hundreds of people who had been ambushing here in advance rushed out. Most of these people were Miao Faxin and other gentry in the city. They could not bear the oppression of the Fang family, so they accepted the contact from the Liu brothers and agreed to start a rebellion.
Four works of shouting to kill.
Liu Zhaoji wielded a large sword, whirring in the wind, and chopped off the stunned captain of Fang Guo's National Security Department with one blow. The small flag on the captain's iron helmet flew into the air.
Liu Zhaoxiang swept through thousands of troops with an iron spear and knocked them down.
Miao Faxin and others had previously started an uprising in the other three gates. Many members of Fang's National Security Department rushed over, but there were not many troops here at the moment.
The two brothers were like dragon brothers and tiger brothers, advancing with swords and guns, unstoppable, and soon they reached the city gate. The two brothers worked together to remove the door bolt and push open the city gate.
Liu Zhaoji took out his horn and blew it.
Liu Zhaoxiang took his bow and shot at the seven or eight people who were rushing towards him.
outside the city.
The sound of hooves was like thunder, and a black tide emerged.
The Liu brothers looked happily, but were surprised to find that the soldiers who came were not their father Liu Mu and his friends.
Huanglong Jinwu.
A troop of cavalry came running wildly.
The brother's expression changed drastically. Could it be that the Eight Banners of the Qing Army were coming?
But when I took a closer look, I found that it was the flag of the Ming Army.
"Close the city gate quickly, don't let the Tatars take advantage!" After closing the city gate at this time, they were afraid that they would be killed by Fang Guoan in the city, but even so, the Liu brothers were not willing to let the Tatars take advantage of the chaos.
to Fuyang.
At this time, a horse riding over the crowd came galloping towards them.
"I am Zhu Shengli, the chief military officer of Jinwu Town, the royal camp and the horse army of His Royal Highness the Supervisor!"
