In Feicheng County, Jinan Prefecture, a team of Huai Army soldiers were led to a village locally.

The officer leading the team was Wan Jing, the official of the Flag Team, and the personal soldier of Zhan Shixun, the former general of Liu Zeqing. In the battle of Maguantun, he was promoted to the team's official with two Manchurian heads.

The one who came with Wan Jing was Xue Gui, the military ration magistrate of Dongchang Prefecture appointed by the former Dashun Government. He was from Shaanxi and was a Jinshi in the fifth year of Chongzhen. He surrendered to Shun in Shaanxi in March last year and was later sent to Dongchang. A few months ago, the officials and gentry in the Ming Dynasty were almost killed during the rebellion. Fortunately, they were rescued by Gao Jie's troops who went north to Dongchang. Now, Chen Buping, the subordinates of Tonghui of Shandong, helped with immigration and disaster prevention.

The village suddenly had an epidemic half a month ago, but only two people were infected at that time, so the villagers didn't take it seriously. They never thought that more and more people would get sick later. At first they were dizzy and fever, but later they had nightmares one after another. After that, some patients would have a bunch of crimson spots spreading on their faces, and sometimes they would spread all over their bodies.

The local area was afraid of the spread of the epidemic, so it quickly reported the matter to the county. It was thought that at most, some doctors were sent to help with the treatment, but unexpectedly, a team of soldiers were sent over.

Li Zheng couldn't figure out whether these soldiers were Ming or Shun Army. He only knew that the magistrate was not called the county magistrate, but the county magistrate.

After Wan Jing led the team to the entrance of the village, he asked several doctors surnamed Ma who came with him to enter the village and asked the doctor Ma to find out what the disease was.

About half an hour later, Ma Langzhong and the soldiers came out, each of them turned pale, and two soldiers even ran to the side to vomit.

"What is it?" Xue Gui pulled the doctor surnamed Ma aside, "Leprosy?"

"no,"

The madam shook his head, "It's a flower."

After hearing this, Xue Gui nodded and asked the Madame Ma if there was a way to treat it. The Madame Madame Madame said that Huazi's disease would be transmitted to people and came in a hurry, but it was either unable to be cured or it cost more. However, those early Huazi patients may not be able to save them, because it has been half a month since the disease has been caused.

Xue Gui ordered: "You can use medicine just by taking the medicine. I will send someone to allocate you the money after you go back."

"good."

The Ma Langzhong agreed. He was worried that the government would not pay for money to save people. He immediately proposed to isolate the village and not allow the patients inside to come out. The people outside could not enter unless they had been born in Huazi.

Xue Gui wrote down one by one, and asked the Feicheng County Office staff who came with him to immediately proceed. Then he whispered a few words to Wan Jing. The latter was stunned when he heard this, but nodded and agreed to do what Xue Gui said.

Soon after, more than a dozen soldiers who had ever had Huazi masked their faces and put on cloth covers and entered the village again.

Late at night, the soldiers drove out of the village with two carriages and headed north.

Jinan City was formed in the Song Dynasty. During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, Jinan was transformed into bricks and stones on the outside of Tucheng during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty.

The city wall is about thirteen miles in circumference, with four city gates. The west gate is called Liyuan Gate, the south gate is called Lishan Gate, the east gate is called Qichuan Gate, and the north gate is Huibo Gate. In addition, there is also a urn city city tower, 3 arch towers, enemy platforms, and shops. There are more than 3,000 large and small cliffs, which can be said to be as solid as a god.

However, such a solid Jinan city was breached by Qing army cannons six years ago, killing more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians.

After the Qing army withdrew, the Ming Dynasty repaired the Ximen that was broken by the Qing army's cannons. However, this time the repair of Liao was successful because there was basically no "provincial capital" value in the city. Later, the Qing Dynasty's Duoluo Raoyu Beile Abatai led his army to invade Shandong again, and passed Jinan without entering.

After the first town of the Huai Army entered Jinan City, it began to organize people to strengthen the west gate immediately. In addition to using a large amount of bricks and stones, two earth walls of the same height were built behind the walls with glutinous rice and soil, and a large number of defensive equipment were deployed on them. The city guarding equipment was the same as the muskets, muskets, and crossbows formed the "three-dimensional defense" effect as the Huai Army governor Lu Si said.

"The first town wants to make Jinan an existence that Manchus can't reach!"

The Zhenshang Xia army repeatedly repeated the explanations of his fellow villager Lu Si to him in the army.

In order to show the soldiers of the army that they were determined to live and die with Jinan, Xia Dajun asked someone to make a coffin for him and put it behind the Ximen. Of course, this was also the inspiration from the story of a general from a Western country whom his fellow villager Lu Si told him.

Monk Xu, the second-ranked person in the first town who is also a fellow villager in Lu Si, also followed suit and placed a coffin at the east gate where he was responsible.

The difference is that Monk Xu's coffin is not placed behind the city gate, but is raised to the city wall and placed under the city gate. What makes people even more irritating is that Monk Xu actually sleeps in the coffin every day!

When I woke up, I crawled out of the coffin and shouted: "I'll live another day!"

Then, recite a passage of Diamond Sutra or Lotus Sutra in front of the coffin full of the characters "*", and then wash your face and chew the pig's hooves.

The three gates in the east, west and south were all reinforcing by the first town, but the north gate was not built.

The reason is that the North Gate is the only water gate in the four cities of Jinan. The lake water of Daming Lake in the city is discharged into the moat through the culvert under the North Gate Tower.

After the Qing army captured Jinan, thousands of Jinan people were driven from the city by the Qing army and jumped down from the northern city and drowned in the river. The Qing Shandong Governor Wang Aoyong was also ordered to burn to death by the Huai Army Governor Lu Si at the North Gate.

Therefore, the Qing army could not attack from the North Gate unless they had a navy.

After the Qing army arrived in Jinan, they did not immediately attack the city because the Han army's artillery team was still behind.

Without cannons, the Qing army would only wear armor and climb the ladder to attack with force unless they were stunned.

The king of Su of Manchu, Haoge, ordered a large army to camp at the west and east gates of Jinan. The camps were all set up to dig deep trenches, erected vertical fences, sprinkled caltrops, and set up arrows and gun platforms, and left roads for cavalry to pass.

This made everyone in the No. 1 Huai Army Town in the city admire it.

Monk Xu suggested that he could lead the dead soldiers to take advantage of the Qing army's foothold and the camp was not established to kill their morale.

The Zhenshun Xia Dajun did not agree. His mission was to defend Jinan to the death, not to attack the Qing army. As long as he defended Jinan and successfully dragged the Qing army, he would be accomplished.

In order to prevent the Qing army from abducting the people near Jinan Prefecture City to fill the moat or to crack down on the morale of the Huai army in the city, more than a month ago, the people around Jinan, a hundred miles away were moved to the rear by the Huai army, and most of them were placed in Jining, Tai'an and other places with the people from Dezhou.

This approach indeed made the Qing army more difficult to break the city.

Seeing that the Qing army seemed to be mainly attacking the East and West Second Gate, the Xia army led the north and the South Second Gate defenders allocated some guard forces to strengthen the East and West Second Gate, and at the same time, let the North Gate continue to transport water.

The Qing army also knew that there was a moat protection, so they could not stop the Huai army in the city from transporting supplies and food and grass at the north gate, so they didn't come to see them at all.

Both sides were just inside the city and outside the city, doing their own things, but both sides knew that this peace would be broken soon.

After Haoge took people to see the west gate of Jinan on the spot, he believed that King Gongshun's artillery team could completely collapse the city wall again, so he was not worried about destroying Jinan. The only troublesome thing was how to fill the moat. In addition, he didn't know whether the commander of the Huai thief was in the city.

"The master of Jinan City must be taken down, otherwise the regent will be punished for his master's failure to achieve his failure..."

"There are many Han people in King Gongshun, who really can't capture people, so I used these people to fill it out."

"When attacking the city, the two gates of the east and west attack together, and the Huai bandits were asked to lose sight of one thing and the other..."
