"Master Li, what are you talking about, what is it that Master Zongzhen summoned me this time?" The wing of the Zongbing Yamen in Funing Township in Xiapu was full of military officers from all associations and battalions under the command of the town. From the generals of the seventh rank to the deputy generals and generals of the third and fourth ranks, everyone did not know the purpose of the commander-in-chief Cai Yuan's gathering of generals this time, so they could only speculate wildly. "Is it because Fuzhou has ordered us to regain Dongchong and other places in a short period of time?"

"Maybe." Li Fucheng, a guerrilla from the right battalion of the Min'an Navy Association who was asked about it, hesitated. Xu felt that such an answer was a bit inappropriate, so he persuaded him. "Master Xu, don't ask anyone you see. When your lord comes out, you will understand everything."

"That's true," Xu Wannian, a guerrilla from the Fenghuomen Navy Battalion, nodded. "However, I'm just one-sided, and I can't compare to you, Mr. Li, in cultivating energy. If I could find out earlier, I might be able to win a lottery in front of the town hall later."

"Bullshit nourishing energy, I just think that one thing more is worse than one thing less."

The two were spanking, when suddenly a Wu Bian rushed in hastily: "Master Zongzhen summoned you"

A group of military officers immediately adjusted their official uniforms, put on their straw hats again, lined up according to their official duties, and entered the lobby one by one under Wu Bian's guidance.In the process of arranging, a group of military officers found that the soldiers of the Zhenbiao Zhongbattalion around the hall were holding their knives and guns, and the atmosphere was very chilling. They were at a loss and could only stand silently on both sides of the hall. .

After waiting for a while, Cai Yuan came in, and all the military officers rushed to salute him, Cai Yuan didn't ask anyone to get up, and went to the back of the desk and took out a roll of things from his sleeve, This object is colorful and bright, and it is about a few feet square, and the gold thread embroidered on the outside is extremely luxurious, and someone immediately exclaimed: "Imperial decree!"

A group of generals were at a loss, kneeling there subconsciously, and at this moment they heard Cai Yuanlang recite: "Follow the Heavenly King."

Together with the beginning, there was a bit of an uproar in the following. You must know that the rise of the imperial decree in the Qing Dynasty must be carried out by the heaven, but now it is ordered by the sky. What kind of edict is this, and the edict of which country.

But Cai Yuan's seemingly steady voice continued: "The Imperial Supervisor of the Ming Dynasty said!"

"Master Cai!" Cao Guodong, the deputy general of the Lu Shi Hai Tan Association, got up from the ground at once. "My lord recites the rebellious essay, why is this righteous? Could it be possible that your lord wants to betray the emperor's favor and surrender to Haini?"

Cai Yuan snapped the Jian Guozhi in his hand, and looked at Cao Guodong coldly: "Vice General Cao, this is the letter of surrender sent by Haini to me. I invite several adults to come over and appreciate it. Mr. Cao It’s not that I think I can’t read it.”

This sentence made Cao Guodong speechless. At this time, the buzzing below was one after another, but under Cai Yuan's gaze, the sound disappeared, but the military officers of the Qing army who were kneeling before still stood up straight again. Yuan didn't stop it, to the point that it made some people who were anxious in their hearts look a little better.

"I will continue to read, you continue to listen, don't interrupt me without asking you to speak, you are all veterans, and you don't understand the rules in the army." Cai Yuan's words not only made Cao Guodong look like a pig's liver, but also It made all the military officers of the Qing army look at each other in blank dismay, but Cai Yuan continued regardless. "It's better to be a traitor who has forgotten the clothes of his ancestors, who is a slave, who has a bad history, and who will be scolded forever. Today, Cai Mouyuan, the general soldier of Funing Town, wakes up and changes his past, and leads 640 members of his department to teach him Cai Yuan was the deputy commander-in-chief of Fujian Zuo. He was appointed as the commander of the Fuding division by adding Tongzhi, the prince Shaobao, the deputy general of the enemy, and the commanding envoy of Lushunwei. Lieutenant Qingche and Jinshanwei Commander Tongzhi"

Funing Town, as a part of the Fujian Green Camp, has been on the front line of confrontation with Zheng Jun for a long time. Naturally, it is very clear about Zheng Jun's current system, so the military officers who were pointed out by this Ming Dynasty Supervision Edict also took a little bit of fear. I was delighted, but because the atmosphere in the lobby was too weird, no one dared to be the first bird at this time.

Finally, Cai Yuan finished reading the things in his hands, put them away on the public case, and a pair of eagle-like eyes began to scan the subordinates in the hall. Under his gaze, the military officers found themselves suddenly a little uneasy.

Looking around again, Cai Yuan suddenly asked: "I've finished listening, how are you doing, are you tempted?"

"My lord, Hai Ni sent this kind of thing for nothing more than profit and alienation." Cao Guodong jumped out again, as the second highest in the hall, he had the right to speak first. "Your Excellency must not fall into Hai Ni's trap, and quickly present this object to Fuzhou, so that the charges can be cleared."

"Crime? After receiving this thing, the crime on me will not be washed away."

Cao Guodong suddenly understood something: "Cai Yuan, you, you are still rebellious, brothers quickly take him down."

But under the gaze of a group of military officers holding sharp knives, how dare the unarmed military officers of the Qing army dare to move at will.

"The court's system is based on size." Cai Yuan looked at the panicked Cao Guodong with disdain. "So even if I am attached to Daming, I still need your support," Cai Yuan paused. "I don't know how many of you are willing to shave off the mouse tail with me?"

As the saying goes, keep your braids but not your hair, Cai Yuan immediately put the choice of life and death in front of the eyes of the green camp military officers.Of course, he dared to speculate on the current domestic political and military situation to make the decision to join Ming Zheng. Although Wu Shu, Wu Qian and others were examples, he would not dare to act like this if he did not have a little bit of strength in his hands.

Therefore, as soon as his words fell to the ground, a group of battalion officers from the middle battalion, left battalion, and right battalion to which the town mark belonged lined up and responded: "My subordinates are willing to follow the master of the town."

Cai Yuan nodded in satisfaction, and at that moment, Wu Bian let go of a passage, and these guerrillas, captains, guards, and chief executives immediately came out through the passage.Seeing this scene, the timid one naturally knew how to choose. The military officers of the Fenghuomen Navy Camp, Tongshan Camp, Lianjiang Camp, Luoyuan Camp and other battalions immediately expressed that they would advance and retreat with Cai Yuan.

Seeing that the situation was almost irreversible, Cao Guodong cursed loudly: "You old man, you have owed the emperor's kindness!"

Wu Bian on the side rushed up and immediately surrounded the brave general on the battlefield. After a while of fighting, the exhausted Cao Guodong was pressed to the ground, then tied up and stuffed his mouth with a rag.

"Lord Cao, you and I are also in the same fight. I don't want to see you bleed on the spot. In this way, I will send you to Qiongzhou to mine, maybe you can save your life." The cold words stimulated the people who had not expressed their opinions Several battalion officers. "What about you? Do you also want to be loyal to the Qing court?"

"Chief town, it's not that I'm ignorant of current affairs, it's just that my family members are still in the village, just in case." Li Fucheng pleaded with Cai Yuan in a crying voice. "Also please ask the general town to raise your hands high."

"Master Li is very good at talking, yes, I am also very worried about my family, but my son and daughter can be reborn after death, and my wife can marry another beautiful woman after death. If you can't even bear this, you should What kind of food do soldiers eat, in this world, you can still be a fourth-rank guerrilla?" Cai Yuan looked at Li Fucheng coldly. "Forget it, since you are determined to be a traitor, then don't blame me for treating you as a traitor, come here."

"My lord, I'm willing, I'm willing." Li Fucheng was so frightened that he knelt down. After all, he didn't want to be a miner's slave, because life would be worse than death. "My lord, please give me a chance to rehabilitate myself."

"What about you?" Cai Yuan looked at the remaining people with a half-smile. "How do you say it?"

What else is there to say? In the face of threats, everyone made a choice of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages: "We are willing to follow the adults."

Cai Yuan nodded in satisfaction. He knew that many of these people in front of him were secretly preparing to make a comeback, but he didn't care. After planning for so long, he and Ming Zheng had already prepared a complete plan, as long as they boarded the ship , don’t even think about jumping down easily again. With this in mind, Cai Yuan ordered: “Very well, then please, my lords, write a letter to the left-behind checkpoints now, let them open the fortress, and welcome Zheng Jun to enter.”

With the opening of Funing Town, which is an important town in northern Fujian, the four divisions of the Zheng Army quickly headed straight for Fuzhou from Luoyuan and Lianjiang.At the same time, due to the rebellion of the Fenghuomen Naval Battalion and the Min'an Xie Naval Battalion, Zheng Jun's gunboats went straight into the Minjiang River, and the forts built and under construction along the line fell into the hands of Zheng Jun without bloodshed, and the only Nantai Navy that resisted The battalion was also wiped out after World War I. So far, the Majiang waterway was opened to Zheng Jun, and the possibility of the Qing army wanting to cross the Wulong River and Majiang no longer existed.

The news of Zheng Jun's intrusion into Majiang shocked Fujian governor Wang Zhi, Fujian governor Bian Yongyu, Fuzhou general Lu Chongyao and other Fujian officials, but before they figured out what went wrong, Zheng Jun's forward attacked Hou Guan. In the city, Houguan County, which was guarded by more than a hundred green battalion Xun soldiers, changed hands in an instant. So far, the road for the Fuzhou Qing army to escape to the west was also closed.

Wang Zhi and others, who finally understood that something was wrong, immediately sent messengers for help to Hangzhou and Guangzhou. Unfortunately, these messengers were either intercepted by Zheng Jun or fell into the hands of Funing Town, which had changed its flag. So the news that Fuzhou was besieged It was not learned of by the Qing army on the southern front until a few days later, but it was too late by this time.

After sending envoys, the three giants of Fujian official circles closed the city gates and decided to stick to it. But at this time, there were only the third battalion of the Supervision and Biao, the second battalion of Fubiao, and the second battalion of the Fuzhou City Shouxie in Fuzhou City, and they were stationed with Eight Banners horsemen, warriors, and guards. 2000 people, a total of less than [-] people, the provincial capital of Fuzhou, which guards the fifteen-mile city wall and seven city gates, is obviously stretched
