A large number of craftsmen of various types are being forcibly relocated to Zhoushan, Yuhuan and other islands. They are forced to leave with their families and their families. Hangzhou is a large industrial and commercial city with many silk weaving and other manufacturing workshops. At this time, Zhu Yihai is also being forcibly relocated.
Zhoushan and other places.
This inevitably caused a stir, and even Zhu Yihai's reputation was rapidly declining in the hearts of the people of Hangzhou.
But there is no way. He cannot hold on to Hangzhou now. All resources that are beneficial to the war must be fought for and cannot be left to the Tatars in vain.
"The second batch of Tatar reinforcements has arrived in Shandong."
"Jiangning's reinforcements have also begun to move south."
Countless news is coming in at a rapid pace, and there is not much time left for Zhu Yihai.
Zhu Yihai stood at the top of the city and looked back at Hangzhou. This is really a prosperous city. Even the towns in the suburbs are more populous and wealthy than some of the mainland cities.
But now I still have to reluctantly give up.
He has even begun to prepare to give up Shaoxing temporarily.
"Let's inform our old friends."
On the same day, Zhu Yihai left Hangzhou, boarded a warship in the Qiantang River, and went to Zhoushan for inspection.
Huzhou.
The deputy general Tan Zhicai, who was a bandit, and the general Zhang San, who was a Taihu water bandit, secretly rushed to Huzhou City to meet with Shen Wenzhong, the governor of the capital, and Zhang Quan, the commander-in-chief of Yongwei Town.
Both of them were considered local snakes. In these troubled times, they had been recruited by the Ming Dynasty, and had defected to the Qing army. Now they were forced to secretly communicate with the Ming army.
Although Zhang San is a general, he is still used to going barefoot. Tan Zhicaigui is the deputy commander-in-chief, but he still has some bandit habits. They are both suffering from the same disease.
When Tan Zhicai attacked Huzhou, he was captured by Jin Gongyu, the general of Minghuzhou Town. He thought he would die, but he only starved him for a few days, and then asked a doctor to repair his hand that was broken by Zhao Liangbi's iron whip while he was recovering from his injuries.
While being educated by Shen Wenzhong himself.
After a period of time, Shen Wenzhong released him and returned many captured soldiers to him.
They also gave him many other prisoners, and even gave him a lot of bandits, water bandits, landowners and other armed forces, helping him to assemble thousands of people, which was more than before he was captured.
The only thing that wasn't good enough was that they only gave each of them three days of dry food, and then let them go away with nothing.
However, after leaving, Tan Zhicai did not think that he was free. The young men around him were not easy to join the army, and there was also a team of his servants. They were all brave, but they were also not easy. He knew very well that these were Shen
Wen Zhong placed the Ming army beside him.
But so what if he knew, could he turn around and kill these people, or report them secretly to the Qing army?
He stayed in the Ming army camp for many days. He did not just eat and recuperate and listen to lectures. He was also forced to confess many things and even signed and signed many things. In addition, several nephews who were captured with him were not captured.
After they were released, Shen Wenzhong said that they were talented people and very loyal, so they were sent to the prison country.
Isn't this just a hostage and a handle?
Barefoot Zhang San was in a similar situation. He was originally a Taihu water thief and was very famous in the surrounding prefectures. He was later recruited by Wu Yi, but when he attacked Wujiang City, he was so frightened that he ran away. Later, he surrendered to the Qing army, and was captured again.
, go around in a circle.
When they arrived at Huzhou Fucheng, they found that the Ming army had almost withdrawn.
Shen Wenzhong received the two of them warmly.
"We are about to evacuate, and I plan to hand over Huzhou to you."
"Leave Fucheng to Lieutenant General Tan, and hand over Changxing City to General Zhang. I will let my people cooperate with you in performing a show, but it is best for you to come at night, so that it is not easy to reveal your secrets by pretending to be bluffing in the dark."
Shen Wenzhong got straight to the point.
It made the two of them a little confused, "Withdraw?"
"To be honest, a new manager has come to Jiangning City. The great scholar Yan Wo Gong is the same Yan Wo Gong who previously suppressed the volunteers from all over the country in Susong, western Zhejiang, defeated our army several times, and even repelled the nine kings. , he has already arrived in Jiangning, killed Zhang Cunren, Xiao Qiyuan and others, and vowed to regain Jiangnan. This man is very good, and we don’t dare to test his skills, so we can only avoid him for the time being. "
"I'm leaving anyway, so I might as well give you a chance to make a contribution."
Tan Zhicai was a good bandit in the past, and he had a great reputation in Tianmu Mountain. He was even called "Zhengyi" by the people on the road, saying that he was also a good thief, but he was just smarter and more cautious, and kept a line in everything so that we could see each other in the future.
The current Supervisor of Shendu has the same demeanor as he did back then. Whether he is going down the mountain to rob landowners or robbing caravans on the road, he rarely kills people. Every time he robs, he must leave a thin line in order to prevent others from trying. It's a fight to the death with him, after all, he has to gain a foothold on this road.
Shen Wenzhong's next words also confirmed his suspicion, "Of course, although we are not willing to be tough with Mr. Yan, we will not leave Huzhou. We will leave Huzhou to friends like you. In the future, we will also It's better to be easy to get along with than to be replaced by Zhang Jie or someone else, right?"
Shen Wenzhong said directly, we will give the city to you, and you need this favor from us, so you can repay the favor with the Tatars. Don’t forget us when you get promoted and get rich. We will continue to be neighbors in the future. You are in the city, we are outside the city. .
The benefits are half to the family.
Shen Wenzhong mentioned many cooperation projects, such as the sharing and sale of ordnance, food, salaries, taxes, etc. They were dumbfounded when they heard this.
"Of course, this is just my personal suggestion. If you don't want to, it doesn't matter. There's no such thing as friendship."
What can Tan Zhicai and Zhang San say?
Supervisor Shen had finished speaking, and they couldn't say anything except nodding in agreement.
Anyway, when I walked out of Huzhou City, I was still dizzy, just like when I was captured and released before.
The two of them had been twenty miles away from Huzhou before squatting on the roadside for a long time.
"Actually, I think the current situation is really unpredictable. No one knows what will happen in the future," Tan Zhicai said.
Zhang San was more direct, "We all have hostages and handles in Lu Jianguo's hands."
"Yeah, so there's nothing to think about. Let's go to the road. You can't offend both sides and be displeased." Tan Zhicai was helpless.
The discussion was settled, and the two stood up to say goodbye.
"Brother, before you were a bandit from Taihu Lake and I was a bandit from Tianmu Mountain, we couldn't go together. But from now on, we are like grasshoppers on the same rope, and we have to help each other."
"That's natural. If Lieutenant General Tan doesn't mind, why don't you and I become sworn brothers? Since you are older than me, I will call you big brother!"
"Second brother!"
The two gathered soil to make incense, then knelt down and tied the golden orchid.
The next day, Tan Zhicai led his troops to attack Huzhou at night, recaptured Huzhou in one fell swoop, and killed many thieves. Zhang San also took the opportunity to attack Changxing County. The two then joined forces and pursued the victory, defeating the Ming army one after another, and successively recovered Anji and Wukang.
, Deqing and other places.
Completely recover Huzhou and report victory to Jiangning.
At the same time, Jiaxing's general Zheng Jiwu and Haining's deputy general Zhu Jigang fought more and more fiercely. They not only repelled the invading Ming army in Jiaxing several times, but also broke into Hangzhou Prefecture and finally recaptured the city.
A letter of memorial to Jietang was delivered to Jiangning!
