Lord of Ming Dynasty

At this time, the original land was quickly occupied by Shi Fu and Zheng Hongkui's people, and as the large army moved forward, they gave up one after another, while the troops behind quickly regained the lost ground, and then sent someone to consult the hiding Crushed soldiers.

In less than half an hour, the center of the city had been recovered, and then the southern edge of the city. Finally, Shi Fu and Zheng Hongkui's remnant soldiers escorted the people to the vast area in front of the city gate.

The seriously wounded Zheng Hongkui and Shi Fu were abandoned one after another, followed by the lightly wounded who couldn't keep up with the team. Zheng Hongkui's troops originally carried them in consideration of the friendship of comrades in arms, but they had to be abandoned later because the entire Jinhua Rebel Army had already sent them away. Surrounded, and slowly compressed their territory, and finally compressed to the open land in front of the city gate.

At this time, the six-pound cannon on the city wall fired, followed by the nine-pound cannon.

The artillerymen of the three field brigades were equipped with a lot of small cannons, so after this round, hundreds of Zheng Hongkui's soldiers were hit by shells, and some shells even flew into the approaching team of the Jinhua Rebels without losing their kinetic energy. , wounded many people.

Faced with this intruding attack, even the Jinhua volunteers themselves did not expect it, let alone Shi Fu and Zheng Hongkui.

"Let go of the city gate area." Wei Wuji continued to issue orders.

The messenger immediately sent orders to the troops.

Shi Fu and Zheng Hongkui's troops, faced with the temptation to escape with only a wall between them, and the shells that fell on the city wall, abandoned the people one after another and rushed towards the city gate.

The Jinhua volunteers in the city gate area retreated one after another, and then resisted their attack with muskets.

No one from the Jinhua Rebels who retreated to the two sides came up to hack and kill. Shi Fu and Zheng Hongkui, who were eager to escape for their lives, took the lead and rushed to the unguarded city gate.

As long as they leave the city gate, they can escape from the sky.

Maybe there is a siege outside, there are troops of the Jinhua Rebel Army, but after going out, there is a vast world. Compared with the narrow city, many of them believe that they must be the lucky ones, most of the firepower will be attracted by their comrades, and they can escape.

"Open the city gate" Wei Wuji ordered again.

The commanders of the guards all looked at Wei Wuji. Facing such vicious people, if they could not be wiped out in the city, it would be very difficult to catch them once they were released into the open area.

"Execute the order," Wei Wuji said firmly.

"Yes, my lord," the guard commanders agreed one after another, and then sent someone to deliver the order.

"Let all the chasing cavalry go out of the city on horseback, and help the troops outside the city resist the enemy's impact. The cavalry troops go out of the city to pursue, and don't let anyone go." Wei Wuji said coldly.

"Yes, my lord."

"Kill it," Shi Fu and Zheng Hongkui left the people in their hands one after another, and headed for the city gate that was already wide open.

Many of the 2000 people were killed by cannons during the assault, and then many were shot to death by bows and crossbows on both sides. During the impact, many were left fighting with the Jinhua rebel infantry on both sides, and many were captured. In the end, only More than 200 people rushed out of the city gate.

"My lord, run away, let's stop the enemy." Shi Fu and Zheng Hongkui's confidantes made the last struggle for the survival of the master.

They swung their knives and slashed at the soldiers of the Jinhua Rebel Army who were ambushing on both sides of the city gate and opened the city gate.

Wei Wuji turned around, supported the battlements and looked at the fleeing Shi Fu and Zheng Hongkui, "Send them off with a cannon."

The artillery of the two brigades who had been on standby on the city wall fired one after another with a "rumbling boom". This time they were not small cannons, but a huge number of 1-pound and 1-pound cannons.

There were only dozens of people, and the two heroes who betrayed Nanming hadn't run a mile before they were covered by the shells chasing after them.

Chapter 255 Zheng Hongkui's Dangerous Situation Promoted to Marquis

Zheng Chenggong led his men day and night, and finally arrived at Quanzhou Prefecture. Instigated by Shi Fu, and then wiped out by Wei Wuji's army.

Shi Fu was smashed into a pulp by shells. Apart from barely identifying his body, Zheng Hongkui also left only one head intact.

This change made Zheng Chenggong very regretful.

Facing the siege of the water army led by Zhou Porridge, most of Zheng Hongkui's ships and warships were smashed into the sea, and the pirates who fled or surrendered were not one of them. Only 3000 people were captured, only more than 2000 escaped, and more than 8000 people were missing. It can be said that Zheng Zhilong's Shibazhi has been completely wiped out.

Zheng Chenggong's navy is a new creation. It was formed bit by bit by Zheng Chenggong. After his father left, he gathered from his old deployment and reorganized by recruiting from nearby coastal areas. The era of Zheng Zhilong and others has passed.

In order to comfort Zheng Chenggong, Zhang Qiang handed over Zheng Hongkui's remaining captive men and ships to him to take away, as well as Zheng Hongkui's head.

Quanzhou Prefecture was also occupied by the Jinhua Rebels.

As many as 1 people died directly in this battle, as many as 3 people were injured or missing, and as many as 5 people fled the war. Business stagnation, houses in the prefecture and even the countryside were seriously damaged, and there were many displaced refugees. There were as many as 50 people, more than 1000 people were killed at the gate of the city, and as many as 3000 people were rescued.

And Wei Wuji also fell into the infamy of a butcher general, but Wei Wuji didn't care about it, but was happy because of such infamy. This is an honorary title.

In the next few months, with the resumption of business and the flow of population, his reputation of brutality spread to all parts of Ming Dynasty. Wei Wuji's reputation suddenly overshadowed the reputation of the Jinhua Rebel Army in Daming. Everyone knew that the Jinhua Rebel Army had a General Butcher, some Qing soldiers trembled when they heard this.

Just when Longwu ordered Zhang Liang to take his gang of eunuchs and staff to set off for Jinhua Mansion to discuss the handover of Quanzhou Mansion and Chaozhou Mansion, two brigades of Jinhua volunteers led by Xiao Fei were in Chaozhou Mansion together. The Qing army of the Ma Degong Department who came across the river fought fiercely, with continuous firepower, volleys of guns, artillery bombardment, infantry assaults, archers and crossbowmen covering the raid, and cavalry battalions chasing them. 5000 soldiers from the Han army banners of the Qing army, 1000 soldiers from the Yongli Dynasty and the Ming army from the Yongli Dynasty, and [-] family members of the landlords and gentry near Chaozhou and Guangzhou were lost. Less than [-] people fled back to the west bank of Guangzhou.

It can be called a great victory, Xiao Fei was ordered to garrison Chaozhou Prefecture, to support Hu Kui and Feng Wuyu's troops in Guangzhou Prefecture on the west bank.

Chaozhou Prefecture was restored, Zhangzhou Prefecture was restored, Quanzhou Prefecture was recovered, Tingzhou Prefecture was again where Long Wuxing was located, and Ganzhou Prefecture was surrounded on three sides. The Han Banner Qing army retreated into Ganzhou Prefecture, with as many as [-] troops, but they could do nothing, because Su Guansheng and Qian Bingdeng went to the front line from time to time, commanding the Longwu Ming army to encircle and suppress them.

With the support of Zhang Qiang's Jinhua Rebel Army, although Huang Youbin, Zhang Tianlu and other generals who were the front-line commanders of the Longwu Dynasty were unable to take Ganzhou Mansion for a while, they forced the Qing army to send troops to reinforce Ganzhou Mansion, which restrained many Qing troops in the southeast. force.

In Quanzhou Mansion, Wei Wuji sent Ruan to Zhangzhou Mansion to garrison, leading the headquarters and the [-]th Field Brigade.

Then began to restore commerce, repair the city walls, resettle refugees, and clean the streets.

Wei Wuji was able to manage both civil affairs and the army, so Zhou Porridge was transferred back to Jinhua Mansion.

Zhang Qiang announced that he was the governor of Zhejiang and took over the civil affairs of Zhejiang in an all-round way.

Milin was transferred back from the front line and continued to serve as the chief of military supplies, managing all military supplies, food, and finance of the Jinhua Rebel Army.

Zhu Dadian resigned from all positions, and was then appointed as the counselor of the Governor's Mansion, responsible for the financial revenue and expenditure of the Governor's Mansion and the diplomacy with foreign courts.

It is equivalent to the chief steward of the Jinhua Rebel Army.

Compared with Zhu Dayou, Zhu Dadian's family member, Zhu Dadian is better at financial management and management. Regarding his military talent, Zhang Qiang can only say that he can still fight under cold weapons and diplomatic situations, but facing Zhang Qiang, he has completely surpassed this era. For a century of firearms troops, Zhu Dadian's talent is completely insufficient to command any army, not even a cold weapon force.

Therefore, it was more than enough for Zhang Qiang to let Zhu Da pawn the housekeeper. He was originally a talent cultivated by the feudal dynasty in order to train high-level officials. He has unique characteristics in communication, prestige, and literary talent, but in actual implementation, he is still not enough.

That is what our party calls retreat. All high-level officials need to be competent in retreat, while low-level officials need execution and creativity.

After the adjustment, Zhang Qiang welcomed Zhang Liang and others in the Governor's Mansion.

I am very familiar with Zhang Liang and Zhang Qiang.

Without the arrogance and conceit of eunuchs, some are treacherous and sociable as always, good at negotiating and compromising. It is very good for such a person to be a prime minister or a diplomat.

"What did Eunuch Zhang learn from his visit this time?" Zhang Qiang asked with a smile.

"Greetings to the governor. Entrusted by the emperor, come to discuss with the governor about the Quanzhou, Zhangzhou and Chaozhou prefectures. You see, although the lord sent troops to take back these places, the emperor thinks that the local government should not be managed. Let the governor be more beautiful, after all, you are a courtier and you should serve the emperor." Zhang Liang raised his head and looked into Zhang Qiang's eyes.

"Hehe, it's nothing. I'll arrange someone to hand it over right away, but I don't know who will take care of the safety of the three prefectures once our army leaves?" Zhang Qiang asked.

"The emperor also explained that the security of the three prefectures is under the jurisdiction of the Jinhua Rebel Army, which means that the Jinhua Rebel Army can station troops in the three prefectures, and the military expenses are arranged by the imperial court." Zhang Liang said.

"It's about the same. If this is the case, I will withdraw most of the troops. You can identify yourself as an official in the three mansions and manage them, but—" Zhang Qiang bowed his head and pondered.
