There was chaos in the village, with fires soaring into the sky, and there were shouts of killing and running figures everywhere.

Zhang Yida led his confidant and his family. As soon as he ran to the back mountain, footsteps came from behind him, and Wang Jiaping shouted: "On there!"

Seeing a large number of Qing troops catching up, several men stopped and gritted their teeth and said anxiously, "Good boss, go!"

Zhang Yida was a heroic spirit and was usually good to his brothers. When several subordinates saw that the Qing army was approaching, they could not leave, so they decided to stop him to the death.

Zhang Yida hurriedly said: "Stop talking about useless things, let's go together!"

The man in charge clasped his fists and said, "Please take good care of my brother!"

After saying that, he picked up his big sword and headed towards the direction the Qing soldiers were chasing, shouting and killing the Qing army, "Qing dog! I'm here!"

Zhang Yida stomped his feet, held the weak military advisor and quickly left and rushed down the path.

At this time, the Qing army and the traitor came over. When they heard the shouts, they immediately shot them together. Several men were shot down by two men. The Qing army rushed forward and the men fought desperately. The leader killed two Qing soldiers in a row, and were pierced by a spear and fell to the ground and died.

The Qing army rushed forward and looted the credit, and the man was immediately dismembered several pieces.

At this time, Wang Jiaping rushed over and saw the head of the Qing soldiers, and hurriedly said, "General Liu, it's not Zhang Yida, but the fourth brother Zhong Yekui!"

Liu Zehong frowned and immediately ordered, "Continue to pursue and don't let the swear thief escape."

~~~~~~~

Zhang Yida, who fled to the foot of the mountain, looked up and saw that the fire in the village was soaring into the sky. Then he saw that there were only more than fifty old men and women left by his side, and he was speechless for a moment.

It was not easy to build a copycat. Zhang Yida went from being alone to gathering thousands of people. He just had a family business, but was destroyed by the Qing army, with reluctance and hatred in his eyes.

Everyone looked sad, and the military teacher Lao Ji asked, "Master, where are you going now?"

Zhang Yida gave him a blank look, "Are you a military advisor, or am I a military advisor?"

Lao Ji hurriedly said, "Then go to Taihu Lake and join Mr. Wu!"

Zhang Yida smashed his mouth. He didn't want to be Zhao'an, but there was no way at the moment, so he could only nod, "Okay! Let's go to Taihu!"

Everyone ran around overnight. At dawn, they hid in a forest. Everyone sat on the ground and gasped, but after a while, a man rushed in and lowered his voice: "The boss, a large number of Qing dogs are passing by on the official road."

Zhang Yida was shocked, "Can you calculate whether Qing dogs can be pinched? How can you know I am hiding here!"

Lao Ji was also panicked, "Brother Yanchang, are the Qing soldiers coming for us?"

The man named Yang Yanchang, the eighteenth chair in the village. He used to be a night but he came back to his senses and said, "There are thousands of people, probably not for us."

Zhang Yida was about to escape, but after hearing this, he calmed down, "Thousands of people, that's definitely not chasing me."

~~~~~~~

On the official road, more than 7,000 Qing troops lined up, with cavalry and horse hooves lit up in front, followed by a large flag, and behind them were rolling spears and a scattered red-topped hat.

Thousands of Qing troops stretched for several miles and advanced north along the official road, with a strong force.

Under the banner of Daqi, Liu Liangzuo rode on the horse, urging a large group of generals around him.

At this time, a scout rushed to Liu Liangzuo and submitted a military newspaper. Liu Liangzuo pulled the horse aside and took it to check it. His brother Liu Liangchen next to him said, "What's the news about the military gate?"

Liu Liangzuo smiled and said, "It was Zehong who captured the bandits in Tianmu Mountain!"

Liu Zehong is Liu Liangchen's son, and he was very happy when he heard this. "The bandits in Tianmu Mountain are the largest bandits near Yu Qian and Changhua. If they are destroyed, the bandits in Hangzhou will be basically eliminated. In terms of time, the bandits in Huzhou and Jiaxing should have been wiped out by General Yang. We can directly enter Taihu."

Liu Liangzuo nodded, "Governor Hong ordered me to clear out the periphery first, then block the south of Taihu Lake, and use Wu Shoujin, Tu Guobao, Gaodi's fourth side to block the bandits in Taihu Lake. If the Taihu Lake thieves are destroyed, my soldiers will be incorporated into the Jiangnan Navy, use Taihu Lake as a training place, and then go to sea to wipe out Zhao Tiebang."

"Zhao Tiebang has been really rampant recently, and has frequently looted the coast, and it has indeed reached the point where it must be curbed." Liu Liangchen said in a hatred.

The coastline of Jiangsu and Zhejiang is thousands of miles long. The Ming army fleet is maneuvering at sea. The Qing army scouts cannot go into the sea to explore and find out where the Ming army is going to attack. However, the Ming army can learn where the Qing army has weak forces through the detailed work on the shore, and then launch a surprise attack, leaving the Qing army exhausted.

Liu Liangzuo was full of hatred for Zhao Ming. He gritted his teeth and said, "A few days ago, Zhao Tiebang's navy attacked Governor Hong's shipbuilding workshop in Haining and kidnapped the wood and craftsmen. However, as long as the Taihu bandits were wiped out, the shipbuilding workshop and the navy water village could be built in Taihu Lake. The general trained for a period of time, and with the support of the imperial court's money, grain and manpower, it would not take long to destroy Zhao Tiebang."

Liu Liangchen nodded: "Haining's workshop and seaguard waterproofing division were destroyed by Zhao Tiebang. It is said that Governor Hong has suggested that the Regent ban the sea and move the coastal people in one hundred miles, and also train the navy in Poyang Lake and Dongting Lake. Zhao Tiebang's arrogant days are a few days away."

While they were talking, the branches were pushed away in the woods beside the road. Zhang Yida, military mentor Lao Ji, Yang Yanchang and others quietly watched the Qing army passing by the official road.

Lao Ji whispered: "Big boss, Qinggou seems to be going to Taihu Lake!"

Zhang Yida frowned and said, "That's all over! This must be going to suppress Wu Yi."

Yang Yanchang said: "What should we do? Are we going?"

Zhang Yida's black face was even heavier, "What else do you want to do? When he went out, he was discovered by Qinggou."

~~~~~~

The group hid in the woods, and during the day, four waves of people passed by the road. It was obvious that the Qing army was gathering forces and preparing to launch a war.

Zhang Yida dared not stay in the woods for a long time. When it was dark, he took everyone out of the woods and wandered around Jingshan north of Hangzhou. He was discovered by the Qing army who had been patrolling at night. More than 50 people lost half of them.

The next morning, the group entered a forest again to hide. As soon as they sat down and gasped, a group of soldiers with leaves on their heads and dry grass jumped out of the woods and pointed their hands at them with crossbows.

Zhang Yida's black face turned red, and he was stunned. He could only slowly raise his hands and said angrily: "This damn person can meet Qinggou, I will admit defeat."

Everyone looked shocked, but they didn't expect that there was a group of people hiding beside them, but they didn't know it at all, and they were both shocked and shocked.

At this time, they surrounded their soldiers and suddenly burst into laughter. Zhang Yida looked closely and saw that these people were all Ming army armor. The few people who did not wear helmets were all tied up their hair. It turned out that they were their own people.

"Brothers, whose soldiers are you?" Zhang Yida immediately recovered.

The head-in-chief's chief official said proudly: "We are all from General Zhao of Donghai!"
