Chapter 689: Huzhou
Outside the capital city of Huzhou, Zhejiang, Zhong Feng's 10,000 soldiers and horses surrounded the city. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Jiang Chong looked at Huzhou City in the distance, a little hesitant. He swallowed his saliva and asked, "Division Commander, Grandpa Guo asked us to attack the Changzhou Mansion of Nanzhili, and we chased all the way to Huzhou, Zhejiang, isn't this okay?" ”
Zhong Feng smiled and said, "What's wrong? ”
Jiang Chong said: "Grandpa Guo said that the holy decree of the Son of Heaven only gives us the power to arrest traitors in Nanzhili. It's already Zhejiang..."
Zhong Feng looked at Jiang Chong and said, "Jiang Chong, you are also a little pedantic!" How is it the same as Zheng Kaicheng? The Son of Heaven is far away in the capital, can he manage the affairs of our front? Since these gentry from the south of Zhili fled to Huzhou, Zhejiang, we have a reason to come to Huzhou to arrest people! The prefect of Huzhou shields criminals, so we have a reason to attack Huzhou City! ”
After a pause, Zhong Feng said lightly: "This Huzhou prefect has a mantis arm as a car, and he actually wants to resist my trapping division!" When he took the city, he was also shot. ”
Jiang Chong didn't say more. The Tiger Ben Army is highly disciplined, and when it comes to the battlefield, the superiors and subordinates must obey their superiors. Since Zhong Feng has made a decision, Jiang Chong can only implement it.
Zhong Feng waved his hand, "Artillery blast open the city gate!" ”
Before Zhong Feng's artillery could fire, the three tiger squat cannons on the city wall opened fire.
However, the artillerymen on the city wall had obviously not practiced operating cannons for many years, and they did not know how much gunpowder to put in them. They were afraid of blasting and boring, and put much less gunpowder than normal. As a result, after three cannon shots on the city wall, the cannonballs fired by the tiger squat cannon fell two hundred meters away from the city wall, which was still far away from the trapping division one mile away.
The gunner of the Tiger Squat Cannon did not hurt the trapping division, but exposed himself as a target. The sharpshooters of the trap division were like cats seeing mice, and they became excited one by one. They went a hundred meters forward, crouched on the ground and aimed at the gunners on the ramparts.
The gunners had never tasted the power of a sniper rifle, and they were arrogant enough to stand in front of the battlement wall and operate the cannon.
Only a crackling gunfire was heard, the sharpshooter fired, dozens of screams rang out on the city wall, and the gunners of the tiger squat cannon were all wiped out instantly.
"Boom! Rumble! ”
The artillery of the trap division opened fire, and the city gates were blasted open at once. The baggage soldiers had already prepared dozens of small sampan boats, all of which were erected on the moat, and then laid wooden planks on them to make pontoon bridges. The soldiers of the trap division, under the cover of sharpshooters, rushed into the city gates, ready to storm the defenders on the walls with their handcuffs.
However, the expected encounter did not happen. The defenders on the city wall were obviously demoralized in front of the Tiger Ben army, the strongest army in the world, and as soon as the soldiers who rushed in front entered the city gate, the 6,000 local defenders on the city wall turned around and fled, and scattered in a hurry.
The trapping division successfully occupied the city of Huzhou.
Zhong Feng waved his hand and shouted: "The whole army enters the city, only arresting the gentry and not disturbing the people." Whoever disturbs the people, behead! ”
The army marched into Huzhou City in a long queue. The statement that the Tiger Army does not disturb the people has spread all over the world, and the people of Zhejiang do not seem to be afraid of the Tiger Army. They leaned on the door of their respective homes, looking curiously at this army from Tianjin. When some of the women and men saw the armor, sniper rifles, and cannon sports cars of the trap division, they seemed to see a big surprise, and they were very excited, and they stood at the door and chattered non-stop.
Zhong Feng led his troops to the door of the prefect's yamen and saw that the yamen of Nuoda was empty. The prefect didn't know where to hide, but he pasted a piece of paper on the lobby of the yamen. Zhong Feng went up to take a look, and saw that it was written: "The Tiger Ben Army abused the Holy Decree to attack the Zhejiang Prefecture Capital, which is really a rebellion!" The world condemns it! ”
Zhong Feng snorted coldly and said, "Send soldiers out to publicize, and there will be a reward for reporting the gentry who fled from Changzhou." At that time, the goods seized will be rewarded with one tael for every thousand taels. ”
"Those who report the hiding place of the Huzhou prefect will be rewarded with two hundred taels!"
Jiang Chong sang loudly, and then took the soldiers to parade through the streets to publicize.
Within a few hours, Zhong Feng saw a skinny citizen looking at the door of the yamen.
Zhong Feng went up and asked, "Wu Na man, are you here to report the gentry?" ”
When the citizen saw Zhong Feng's second-grade military attache uniform, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Zhong Feng, and said, "Official! I'm here to report! ”
Zhong Feng smiled: "Which one do you want to report?" ”
Only then did the thin man say: "Official, if I report the three families in one go, if the official master steals hundreds of thousands of silver goods, will he really give me a few hundred taels of silver?" ”
Zhong Feng said with a smile: "This official does what he says, don't say a few hundred taels, even a few thousand taels, I will reward you too!" ”
The skinny man grinned and his eyes lit up. He kowtowed to Zhong Feng again and said, "The three gentry of Changzhou in Nanzhili, the Cao family, the Yang family and the Guan family escaped from Changzhou ten days ago, and they hid in the Shen family's mansion in Baitong Alley. The prefect of Huzhou hid in the courtyard of the Yuan family on Chopsticks Street, and the official came out as soon as he was caught! ”
Seeing that this man reported the four families in one go, Zhong Feng laughed.
Escaping from his arms, Zhong Feng asked, "There are also many gentry in Huzhou who donated money to Qian Qianyi!" Copying and killing together! This righteous man! Do you know the Huzhou Juren Liu Dehu family, by the way, lead the way! ”

In the yamen of the Nanjing Military Department, Li Zhi sat on the main seat of the second hall and slowly took a sip of tea.
Putting down the teacup, Li Zhi looked at Qian Qianyi and Zhang Shenyan, who were kneeling in front of him.
Zhang Shenyan was escorted to Nanjing in a prisoner car by the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army these days, and he was worried and scared along the way, and he was already in a state of collapse. Seeing Li Zhi at this time, he knelt on the ground and trembled, prostrate on the ground and didn't even dare to raise his head.
Although Qian Qianyi was also a little trembling, he was still calmer than Zhang Shenyan. He looked at Li Zhi carefully, and there was some emotion on his panicked face.
In fact, Qian Qianyi and Li Zhi have met, and in the eighth year of Chongzhen, Li Zhi also went to Qian Qianyi's house to send glass wine utensils. At that time, Li Zhi was still a guard officer of the guard post who Qian Qianyi was too lazy to take a look at. However, now that the tide of time has reversed, Li Zhi is already the Duke of Jinguo who can decide Qian Qianyi's life and death at will.
Qian Qianyi suddenly said: "Jin Guogong, according to your killing method, this time you will kill more than 1,000 people in Zhejiang and raid more than 500 households, this is really something that cannot be done!" ”
Li Zhi smiled and asked, "Why can't you do it?" ”
Qian Qianyi knelt on the ground and said, "The killing is too heavy, and Yu Tianlun will lose." ”
Before Li Zhi could answer, Li Laosi shouted angrily: "Shameless Qian Qianyi!" Do you gentry in Jiangnan still know about Tianlun? Millions of Han Chinese were killed by the Tatar Qing, and you actually united with the Tatar Qing to attack the Duke of Jinguo. If it weren't for the incomparable martial arts of the Duke of Jinguo, I am afraid that he would have lost in the hands of Ta Qing, and I don't know that tens of thousands of soldiers would die! ”
"You shameless gentry don't say that you can kill a thousand, even if you kill ten thousand!"
Qian Qianyi was drunk by Li Laosi, and his body shrank in fright, and he fell prostrate on the ground and didn't dare to speak.
After Li Laosi finished speaking, Qian Qianyi raised his head. Seeing that Li Zhi was not angry, Qian Qianyi boldly said, "Grandpa Guo! Now that the Jiangbei Army has fled into Jiangxi, it will contact the gentry of the world to donate money, and it will be even stronger in the future. Grandpa Guo and the gentry of the world fought to the death, do you really want to kill all the gentry in the world? ”
