——————————————————————————————————————————

On the day of the transaction, Yinxiang ordered someone to carry the silver to the transaction place.The trading place was decided by the rebel army. It was in a wilderness outside Xiaohua County next to Shiyuan County. There were not tall trees all around, and it was difficult to hide. Neither side could set up an ambush. It was a good place for trading. .

Just when Yinxiang was raising money and discussing countermeasures, the rebel army quickly captured Shiyuan County with lightning speed. Now the rebel army has captured two counties, and their power has grown a lot.

With the growth of power, the ambition of the rebel army has also increased. If you said that you still had the idea of ​​handing over people and collecting money, then you have changed your mind now.Yinxiang's side didn't intend to give money at first, and both sides had their own ulterior motives, the transaction that day was not smooth, the two sides turned from a negotiation to a fight, the transaction place was empty and there was no way to set up an ambush, but it was tens of miles away from the transaction place Both sides were stationed with manpower, and the conflict was quite fierce.

The rebel army sent a total of 6000 people, and there were actually masters of martial arts among them, whose skills were comparable to those of the guards in the Kangxi Imperial Guard. Fortunately, there were only a few such masters, otherwise it would not be certain who would win.Yinxiang brought [-] guards and [-] green battalion soldiers here. Because there was no war all year round, the green battalion soldiers lacked training, lax discipline, and their skills were no different from ordinary people. It was Yinxiang who relied on the eight hundred guards to have the upper hand, and did not abuse his opponent as he imagined.

So the final result is that Yinxiang failed to rescue the captured officials. Of course, the other party did not take away the money, but the sword has no eyes. During the fight, more than a dozen officials who were captured were unfortunately affected. , Half of them died, and the remaining few were dragged back to their lair by the rebel army.

Yin Xiang was very happy when he saw this. If he did it again, the money raised would be sent to the capital and handed over to Kangxi intact. As for comforting the family members, I'm sorry, the frontline war is tight, and he has no time to take care of such trivial matters. Let's wait until the rebellion of the rebel army is settled.

However, this fight gave Yinxiang a new understanding of the strength of the rebel army, and a new understanding of the strength of the green battalion soldiers: I didn't expect the green battalion soldiers to be so vulnerable, Jingzhou City might really be lost!

Worried about going back to the post station, Yinxiang ordered someone to carry the silver to the warehouse. He stayed alone in the warehouse for a while, and after he came out, he walked to the main room empty-handed. Greeting him, he observed Yinxiang's expression and asked in a low voice, "How is it?"

Yin Xiang nodded, but the heavy expression on his face did not change. He handed Yi Rao something like a white gauze scarf, and said, "Here, it's amazing, it doesn't reveal anything."

Yi Rao took the scarf and put it into her bosom, she nodded with embarrassment on her face, "Of course, this is a fetish."

The white gauze in Yirao's hand was given by Xiaobailong. It is a small prop that can turn stones into gold and stones into gold and silver. However, the time for changing is limited, only twelve hours. It is also enough to hide from the inspection of the rebel army.

The way Yiluo said that day was to use this kind of blindfold to get through, so that even if the captured officials were not snatched back, there was no need to worry that the money would be snatched by the rebels. It seemed that Yinxiang sincerely valued the lives of the captured officials , Really carrying money to redeem people, even if Kangxi knows, there is no need to worry that Kangxi will think too much.

This hurdle was muddied, but Yinxiang didn't feel much easier. The next tough battle was the highlight. The Green Battalion soldiers were weak, and the Eight Banners soldiers were not much stronger. A force of [-] was really tough to fight against the rebels.

The rebel army failed to grab the silver and lost several officials. Instead of being angry, the rebel army became happy. What they were happy about was the combat power of the green camp soldiers, which was too low. How could they be stopped?After finding out the strength of the Green Battalion, the leader of the rebel army no longer had any worries. He immediately killed the remaining officials, and then ordered to advance and capture Jingzhou City!
When the rebel army marched to Jingzhou City, they had a good attitude towards ordinary people. They would not fight, kill, burn, or rob. Those who were willing to join in and attack the dog officials of the court would join in. Not reluctantly, they expressed their understanding.

Therefore, the rebel army encountered almost no obstacles along the way. They drove straight in and advanced to the city of Jingzhou in a few days. There are a lot of people.

Zongbing Zheng didn't dare to be careless now, and when he saw Yinxiang, he stopped yelling and showing off how brave his soldiers were, and he would definitely do something to those rebellious untouchables, but kept begging Yinxiang to let Yinxiang Send a message to the capital to move the rescuers.

Zheng Zongbing is in a hurry, and Yinxiang is also in a hurry. He has already sent someone to the capital to deliver a message, and it is almost time to arrive in the capital, but it will take time for Kangxi to dispatch troops and arrange food and grass. It may take time for the reinforcements to arrive. several days.

The rebel army has already approached the city, and the only plan for now is to defend the city until the reinforcements sent by Kangxi arrive.

There used to be many victims outside Jingzhou city, but now the uprising army besieged Jingzhou city, almost all of those victims joined the uprising army, because Yinxiang ordered the gate of Jingzhou city to be closed, those victims could not continue to get food, in order to survive, they could only join the uprising army, Anyway, the rebel army is full of control.

This is something that can’t be helped. The so-called soldiers and horses go first without using food and grass. There is no doubt about the importance of food. Yinxiang is not sure how long this battle will last, so if he can save a little food, it is a little bit. Even if Yinxiang feels sorry for the victims , but facing the rebel army, his first task is to suppress the rebel army first. After all, he is in the ruling class of the feudal dynasty, and the biggest task in his life is to maintain the ruling class he is in.

Love the people like a son, whether he loves his people sincerely or loves his people in order to maintain his rule, Yinxiang himself can't tell clearly, the correct answer should be both.

The city wall of Jingzhou City is not comparable to the earth city wall of the county. Although the wall is not high or strong, the rebel army will not be able to break in for a while. The two sides fought each other a few times in a tentative nature. They also failed to capture Jingzhou City.

The people in Jingzhou City were panicked. Before the uprising army came, those rich families got the news and packed up their property and planned to leave for refuge. Yinxiang didn't interfere with this, and asked these people to pay some money, and then opened the city gate to let him go. .

The insurgents had an obvious hatred of the rich. They did not interfere with the lives of ordinary people, but they burned, killed and looted rich families. From Gushan County all the way to the city of Jingzhou, they robbed [-] or [-] wealthy households. In case Jingzhou City is destroyed, those rich families must be the targets of the rebel army's key care. Burning, killing, looting is a must, and extermination is also very possible, so after those rich families handed over their money, Yinxiang let them go .
