Jiaxing is located northeast of Hangzhou, very close to Suzhou.
Qin Xiao naturally understood that Shence Jun was so impatient that he sent people from Jiaxing to arrest the Wei family and the young ones, so he naturally had sinister intentions.
The Wei family is the largest family in Jiaxing. The Jiaxing family only follows the Wei family's lead. The Shence Army went on a killing spree in Hangzhou. It is natural that the Jiaxing side did not know the news. Once they learned that the Shence Army had killed the Hangzhou family, the Jiaxing family
Of course, he would be frightened and retreat to Suzhou with his family, children, and assets, which is naturally a possibility.
Now that Suzhou is under the control of the princess, once the Jiaxing family retreats to Suzhou, it will be difficult for the Shence Army to reach out directly.
Before the Jiaxing family fled, the runners first ransacked the Wei family, leaving the Jiaxing family leaderless, and then sealed off Jiaxing City. In this way, the Jiaxing family was like meat on the chopping board, waiting until the Shence Army finished dealing with Hangzhou City before they could free their hands.
Come and slowly clean up the Jiaxing family.
"Your Excellency, the Wei family has absolutely no qualms with the imperial court. Please be aware of it." Wei Zhong said: "These properties can be given to you. I just hope that you can save the Wei family and the young...!"
"Of course, there must be a thorough investigation." Qin Xiao said: "But if you are not guilty, no one has the right to confiscate your family property. No one can take away what is yours. If you secretly participated in the rebellion, the family property will certainly not be preserved.
, the lives of the whole family cannot be saved." Fei Xin said to his side: "Master Fei, arrange for the Wei family's children to accompany the team to thoroughly investigate the Wei family's rebellion case, and the Zhongyong Army will temporarily protect their safety."
Fissing shrugged and said yes.
Although the Wei family doesn't know whether it is a blessing or a curse to fall into Qin Xiao's hands, they have no other choice now.
The Zhongyong Army did not delay. Qin Xiao asked people to throw Shen Du's body into the prison car, put the head in as well, and continued towards Hangzhou City.
Less than thirty miles east of Hangzhou City is the Hangzhou Camp. The Zhongyong Army must pass through the Hangzhou Camp if they want to go to Hangzhou City.
When we arrived at the Hangzhou camp, it was completely dark.
The soldiers at the front of the Zhongyong Army held torches to lead the way, but they stopped immediately less than five miles away from the Hangzhou Camp. On the sentry tower on the other side of the Hangzhou Camp, torches were waved and the sound of horns was heard.
It was obvious that they had discovered traces of the Zhongyong Army and warned the camp.
The soldiers in the camp reacted quickly and were ready to face the enemy in just a moment.
Sun Yuanxin, the commander of the Hangzhou Battalion, led the elite cavalry of the Hangzhou Battalion to Suzhou for reinforcements. They have not yet returned. There are only two thousand infantry in the camp. Before leaving, the commander of the Hangzhou Battalion, Sun Yuanxin, handed over the responsibility of the Hangzhou Battalion to the deputy commander Xue Zhengqin.
After the Shence Army arrived in Hangzhou, they naturally would not ignore such an elite force.
Hangzhou Governor Sha Deyu was the highest military officer in Hangzhou. Anxing Hou Xiahou Ning knew very well that if the Shence Army directly took over the Hangzhou Battalion, the officers and soldiers of the Hangzhou Battalion would certainly not accept it. However, it was justifiable for Sha Deyu to step in.
Xiahou Ning sent several generals to accompany Sha Deyu and directly followed Sha Deyu to the Hangzhou camp and took over the military power from Xue Zhengqin.
Not only was Sha Deyu Xue Zhengqin's boss, company commander Sun Yuanxin was also Sha Deyu's subordinate, so when Sha Deyu took over the military power, Xue Zhengqin had nothing to do. If he resisted and was accused of treason, he would die without a burial.
After taking over the Hangzhou camp, Sha Deyu has been feeling uneasy these days.
Outsiders all know that he, the governor of Hangzhou, is the highest military official in Hangzhou. Even Sun Yuanxin, the commander of the Hangzhou battalion, has to obey his orders. However, only he knows in his heart that although his official position is higher than that of the commander Sun Yuanxin, his status is not.
Far worse.
When Princess Sheyue transferred him to Hangzhou as an official, the eldest son Yuanxin was already the commander of the Hangzhou camp.
The reason why he was transferred to Hangzhou to replace the previous Changshi of Hangzhou was also very simple. It was just because the temperaments of the former Changshi and the eldest grandson Yuanxin were inconsistent. The two had conflicts from time to time. When the princess found out, she directly transferred the former Changshi and transferred Sha Deyu.
Come and serve as the new chief historian.
In other words, the reason why the predecessor Chang Shi resigned was because of disagreement with the eldest grandson Yuanxin.
Sha Deyu naturally understood that the princess really valued her eldest grandson Yuanxin. As the governor of Hangzhou, it was best not to interfere too much in the military affairs of the Hangzhou camp and just be responsible for the defense of Hangzhou city. So Sha De
Yu never dared to ask too much about the military affairs of the Hangzhou Battalion. Because of this, his position as the governor of Hangzhou was rock-solid.
When Shence's army entered Hangzhou City, the governor of Hangzhou suddenly fell ill that day and was bedridden. Hangzhou Biejia also fell off his horse and was injured while riding that day, unable to get up. After hearing this, Sha Deyu was dumbfounded and was about to make arrangements for himself.
It was an accident, but the people in An Xinghou rushed to invite him over before anything happened to him.
The governor fell ill and was injured in a fall, so Sha Deyu could only cooperate with Hangzhou affairs.
Sha Changshi was a real man. Without saying a word, he directly handed over the military power of Changshi Mansion to Marquis Anxing. He thought that without the military power, even if something big happened, it would have nothing to do with him. Who knew Marquis Anxing would actually do it?
He was directly sent to take over the military power of the Hangzhou camp.
Sha Deyu was very reluctant, but had no choice but to do so. His whole family was in Hangzhou, and their life and death were in the hands of An Xinghou. He knew very well that if he didn't obey, An Xinghou would put a button on him.
The seven surnames in the south of the Yangtze River were accused of colluding in rebellion, and they were dragged to the market and beheaded before they could even cry out that they were wronged.
Sha Deyu really understood An Xinghou's methods.
On the day the Shence Army entered the city, they immediately wiped out the three major aristocratic families in Hangzhou. The three major aristocratic families were the third of the seven surnames in Jiangnan. Before these three surnames could react, the Shence Army swept them away with thunderous force.
All the young and old members of the clan were arrested. Before the people in the city could understand, the next day Anxinghou ordered that the young men of the three surnames and the head of the family be taken directly to the market and beheaded. The speed was unbelievable.
After the murder, An Xinghou ordered a notice to be posted, informing the seven surnames in Jiangnan that they had colluded with the Queen Mother Society to rebel in Jiangnan.
In the next few days, the Shence Army arrested a large number of wealthy families in the city. Even though they killed a large number and imprisoned the rest, because there were too many people, the prisons were full, so the Shence Army specially vacated the mansions of the three major families.
It was used as a temporary place to hold prisoners.
Sha Deyu had no idea that after the Shence Army entered the city, the beautiful Hangzhou would turn into a living hell.
An Xinghou seemed to have a deep-rooted hatred for the Jiangnan gentry and acted without mercy.
Not only the Hangzhou gentry, but also some Hangzhou officials were found guilty of colluding with the rebels to rebel against the imperial court, and were also killed. There was a bloody smell above the city of Hangzhou, and everyone was silent. Those
It was just ordinary people, but all the merchants and officials with some wealth were in panic all day long. No one knew who would be struck by An Xinghou's sword next.
Sha Deyu only felt that An Xinghou was a lunatic, but he had to listen to his orders.
He is now in charge of the Hangzhou Camp. He is apparently the highest officer of the Hangzhou Camp, but the real power is not in his hands. An Xinghou sent Shence Junlang General Qi Shen to accompany him. In fact, all military matters in the camp must be obeyed by Qi Shen.
Distribute.
Qi Shen was also a general with a background of eunuchs, and he always had a smile on his face, but Sha Deyu knew that this eunuch was also ruthless.
Before coming to the Hangzhou camp, when An Xinghou committed murder in the city for the first time, he made the prisoners kneel in several rows. There were more than a dozen people in each row. An Xinghou asked Sha Deyu to watch the execution with him.
They are the heads of three major families in Hangzhou.
This was not a Fasi Yamen execution, so the beheadings were directly carried out by Shence officers and soldiers. The leader was Qi Shen, and he was the first to pick up the Ghost Head Sword and personally beheaded more than a dozen people. Sha Deyu remembered it clearly.
, when Qi Shen chopped off the prisoner's head, he kept a smile on his face from beginning to end. Thinking of that scene, Sha Deyu felt horrified all over his body.
In the Hangzhou camp, although Sha Deyu was nominally the highest officer, every morning early in the morning, Sha Deyu would take the initiative to go to the Qishen camp, appearing extremely humble.
But he also knew in his heart that Hangzhou Camp was built by Changsun Yuanxin. Everyone in the camp was loyal to Changsun Yuanxin. Changsun Yuanxin went to Suzhou. At present, he can still give orders as the governor of Hangzhou. But if
Changsun Yuanxin is back, what will be the result?
He helped An Xinghou seize the military power of the Hangzhou Battalion. Will the eldest son Yuanxin let him go after he comes back?
He had trouble sleeping and eating. He heard the sound of horns tonight and rushed out of the camp. He saw the torches waving on the sentry tower, which clearly meant that soldiers and horses were approaching the camp. The first thing Sha Deyu thought of was Changsun Yuanxin, and his heart
Shocked, he thought it was Changsun Yuanxin returning from Suzhou with his cavalry.
His heart sank.
"Sha Changshi, what happened?" Hearing a voice from behind, Sha Deyu turned around and saw that it was General Lang Qi Shen who was walking over quickly, accompanied by several personal followers.
These few followers are also members of the Shence Army, and they always follow Qi Shen.
"There are soldiers and horses approaching." Sha Deyu said hurriedly: "General Qi, maybe Commander Chang Sun has returned with his troops."
Qi Shen was startled, his brows tightened, and his expression became solemn, but he still said calmly: "Changsun Yuanxin did not get the order from the Ministry of War, and led troops to Suzhou without authorization, which has violated military law. He came back just in time, and there will be orders from Anxing.
, after the eldest son Yuanxin came back, he immediately took it and sent it to Hangzhou City and handed it over to Anxing Hou for disposal."
"General Qi, Changsun Yuanxin is extremely brave and will never be captured without mercy." Sha Deyu said softly: "Let's not have a direct conflict with him. Tell him that all this is arranged by An Xinghou and let him go.
Just go to Hangzhou and see An Xinghou."
He was only worried that it was Changsun Yuanxin who came back. Qi Shen didn't know how powerful Changsun Yuanxin was. If he really ordered to arrest Changsun Yuanxin on the spot, Qi Shen might be killed in anger when Changsun Yuanxi was so angry.
He would also drag himself into losing his head along with it.
You must not be forceful with the eldest son Yuanxin, speak nicely, and blame the current situation of the Hangzhou camp on the Anxing Marquis. If the eldest grandson Yuanxin wants to cause trouble, he will only blame the Anxing Marquis and not embarrass himself.
