Lord of Ming Dynasty

"Then why do I feel that the Guangxin Mansion area is quiet, and there is no sign of anything going to happen?" Zhang Qiang finished speaking and threw a handful of information letters on Hu Kui's horseback.

"This—, I—" Hu Kui didn't know how to explain.

Zhang Qiang was a little annoyed, Shang Kexi was still besieging Tingzhou Mansion, but he got the news in the early stage that Shang Kexi had already marched towards Raozhou Mansion, why did this happen?What about inconsistent news?

"Bage Yalu, take your cavalry brigade and search for me, Guangxin Mansion, Yanping Mansion, and surrounding mansions. Don't forget the Rao State Mansion we just came to. We must find some good troops. , it would be a big deal for us not to let such an army go missing," he said.

After giving the order to Bagyalu, Zhang Qiang said to Milin again: "Send people to mobilize all the personnel from the Military Intelligence Department, and send all the information found in Fujian and Jiangxi to me, find some people from the Military Intelligence Department, and set up a The intelligence screening team, give me one by one, and can't let go of any clues."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Qiang said again: "Du Ge, I will take care of your cavalry brigade for the time being, and Hu Kui took the first field brigade to Tingzhou Mansion to have a look, but don't worry about the Qing army besieging the Longwu court. Fight a battle, if you don’t meet, just keep going, go around all the places, find the main force of the enemy, and then wait for help, I will come to rescue you.”

Seeing that someone had made arrangements, Zhang Qiang said to the messengers around him: "Order the guard brigade to station on the spot, and send people to contact the troops of Quzhou Prefecture, Jianning Prefecture, Chuzhou Prefecture and Fuzhou Prefecture, and ask them to station on the spot. Send people to investigate the enemy's movements, and there must be no slack in the slightest."

"Yes, my lord." The entire Huaxia Army was like a hive under attack. Troops and horses were mobilized, and personnel were scattered to all directions. The guard brigade station became a hive, waiting for its worker bees to attack the enemy and defend the hive.

As time passed bit by bit, the first thing Zhang Qiang received was the news about the Qing army from Liu Liangzuo, "The enemy's army of 20 people has approached the Raozhou government forty kilometers away, and the second field brigade is at the same time thirty kilometers away. The enemy fought twice, the first time annihilated 800 enemy cavalry, and the second time they were fighting the enemy, and the results are yet to be reported. Please ask for a solution.”

At this time, Zhang Qiang felt an inexplicable feeling. His idea was to use Raozhou Prefecture to attract the Qing army, and he brought the army to deal with the Qing army in Fujian and Jiangxi first, especially the Ming Dynasty that everyone hated. The first military traitor, Kong Youde, and the second traitor are gratifying. Maybe Geng Jingzhong can be caught. Without these three people, the Qing army will have to fight in person in the south. The Qing army was busy running back and forth, and used other generals of the Ming Dynasty who were not very capable of fighting and were also traitors. In this way, it would be beneficial to the Ming army in the south, and it would not be so urgent.

Because the tactics and firearms used by these three people are too many generals in this era, they have caused too much damage to the Ming army. Fighting with pure cold weapons, the Ming army may not be afraid of the Qing army. And the soldiers and horses of the Longwu court and the continuous uprising army, just like the Japanese entering China in later generations, can drag them to death.

But what he thought of, couldn't Hong Chengchou think of it?

Thinking of this, Zhang Qiang got a headache and didn't know how to deal with it next.

It took a long time before he sighed, "Sure enough, you can't play any tricks with Hong Chengchou, an old man. You can only use your strength to overwhelm him and play tricks with Hong Chengchou. It will take a few corrupt officials from later generations to get it done. They are highly educated. , Playing tricks and conspiracies is definitely a must, maybe you can call a few experts to call the beasts to specialize in the study of Ming history and the characters of the Ming Dynasty, and specifically target these traitors who play tricks in the Ming Dynasty."

Sighing is sighing, it doesn't help, now Zhang Qiang can only wait here for Hong Chengchou to make a move.

A day later, Zhang Qiang waited for the second intelligence, and Bagyalu sent information about the siege of the Qing army in Tingzhou. Generals, less than a thousand cavalry troops, the rest are green battalion troops wearing full-man clothing, there are also a large number of green battalion troops, and more are empty battalions with straw figures standing upright. The main force of the Qing army is no longer here. According to rough statistics, there are no more than 5000 Qing troops staying in Tingzhou, and most of them are newly attached troops from the Guangxi area who surrendered from the Ming army.

In the afternoon, Hu Kui sent several pieces of information about where hundreds of Qing troops were defeated and hundreds of Qing troops were captured. That place captured that county. Except for the first few dozen Qing troops in the county, the rest were strong for the people. The entire Tingzhou Mansion circled around, and the Qing army that besieged Tingzhou Mansion did not move.

Ask Zhang Qiang what to do next.

Zhang Qiang grasped the information, thought for a while, and gave an order to the messengers, "Order them to detour Ganzhou Mansion, go deep into Ganzhou Mansion to attack the Qing army, and make the illusion of besieging Ganzhou Mansion."

In the evening, Du Ge came back, holding a large stack of newly sent intelligence from the Ministry of Military Intelligence. Zhang Qiang and Du Ge stared at each other closely. Several intelligence teams temporarily dispatched by the Ministry of Military Intelligence nervously investigated the latest Qing army mobilization. intelligence.

These few people are the old people that Milin brought to Tingzhou Mansion last time, Ma Han, Zhang, Zhao Hu, and others.

"Zhenjiang Mansion was captured. Lu Zhenfei fled back to Hangzhou Mansion with the remnant soldiers. The Qing soldiers celebrated with great fanfare in Zhenjiang Mansion, but there was no sign of moving to Hangzhou Mansion. The Qing army in Zhenjiang Mansion has about 5 troops."

"Call out the information about the Qing army near Zhenjiang Mansion last time." Zhang Qiang said to everyone.

After being busy for a while, Ma Han found a piece of information from a pile of information, "The Qing army appeared near Zhenjiang Mansion. The Qing army has about 3 soldiers and is besieging the surrounding counties and villages of Zhenjiang Mansion."

"Tian Bin reported that the Qing army transferred 2 Qing soldiers to join the Qing army's large forces. He was among them and was rushing to the vicinity of Ji'an Mansion."

Zhang Qiang slapped his head, "The Qing army in Ji'an Mansion is not counted, how many Qing troops are there in Ji'an Mansion?"

Zhang Dao: "After we defeated them last time, there were less than [-] Qing troops in the Ji'an Mansion, and the rest were all in the Azig army."

Du Ge thought for a while, "In other words, there must not be many Qing troops in Ji'an Mansion, so where did the [-] Qing troops in Zhenjiang Mansion come from?"

Zhao Hu said: "Subei, or Anhui."

Du Ge looked at Zhang Qiang, "The Qing army has increased its troops again."

Zhang Qiang frowned and said: "I'm not afraid of increasing troops, I'm afraid that their disappearing army will come from another direction we didn't expect to attack our weak points, or surround us with a large force. By the way, field battles Did the Second Brigade get rid of any part of the Qing army?"

Du Ge shook his head, "There is no news now, and there is no further news from Raozhou Prefecture."

"There is no further news. This is the third day, right? In a place more than ten kilometers away, the two armies fought for three days with about 2 people each?"

"Or, the enemy has already defeated the Second Field Brigade, and the Second Field Brigade has not been able to escape, and there is no one to report it?"

"Could it be that Raozhou Prefecture, which is close at hand, has not been able to get news?"

"They won't pass on a message to us?"

"Not good," Zhang Qiang, Du Ge, and several intelligence screening personnel glanced at each other, "The back road has been seized, the enemy has cut off the communication between the troops and the territory of Raozhou Prefecture, or the enemy's army has already been stationed somewhere."

Forty kilometers away from Raozhou Fucheng, Hong Chengchou said to Bo Luobei Le, who was sitting in his tent of the Chinese army: "The officials have made arrangements. Zhenjiang Prefecture will only keep [-] troops, [-] real Han army flags, and [-] soldiers." The Minzhuang troops, hundreds of Manchurian soldiers, and the rest are all moving towards Huizhou Prefecture, encircling the Huaxia Army in Raozhou Prefecture from all sides, this time, we must avenge Twelve Baylors."

Boluo Belle played with a sandalwood bracelet in his hand, and asked in a deep voice: "So how many troops can come from Huizhou?"

Hong Chengchou said: "About [-] troops. The troops of Ji'an Mansion have been transferred to my army this time. At present, there are [-] troops in the lower officer's army." Speaking of this, he said with some regret: "If the troops are full If Dahai is not impulsive, the subordinates will have [-] troops."

Chapter 3 Eleven: The Qing Army on the Staggering March

Boluo Belle admired Hong Chengchou's ability to mobilize troops. With just three or two moves, he mobilized 16 troops in less than half a month. Adding the 15 troops he led, that was 31 troops.

Across a river, places farther away are not under their jurisdiction and deployment. If they can raise money with Mangurtai, Haoge and others in Hunan, they may be able to mobilize 50 troops, but this is impossible. He will mobilize all the troops in the southwest and northwest, not to mention that he does not have that ability, but it is impossible for these two people to obey his dispatch. They are all princes, county kings or something, and he is just a clan Baylor.

It is enough to have these troops. I think the Jinhua Rebel Army will not have too many troops. Maybe they have 10,000+ troops, but there are definitely not so many soldiers who can fight. Although these rumors were deliberately released by the Hanchen named Fan Wencheng to intimidate the Ming army, judging from the past record, as long as there are over ten thousand Qing soldiers, it is basically crushing and defeating several times. , or dozens of times the Ming army, so he thinks that the main force of the Qing army has reached 5, the Han army flag has reached 20 troops, and the green battalion has nearly [-] troops. The Ming army is suppressed.

Hong Chengchou saw that Boluo Belle was deep in thought, his heart moved, he thought of something, and tentatively said: "Master Belle, I heard that you were a 10,000+ army besieging Jinhua Prefecture with a strength of [-] or [-]. , but was wounded by the cannons of the despicable Ming army, this time the despicable job will not let such a thing happen, ".

Hong Chengchou's temptation made Boluo Belle wake up from the calculation of the comparison of troops. Hearing Hong Chengchou's words, he was a little sullen and said: "Then the **** is also careless, but today is different. I have already asked the army to bring more red troops. Yi Da Pao is here, and [-] soldiers from the Shenji Battalion have also been transferred, equipped with refined firecrackers bought from the Portuguese at a huge expense. The way of others is also applied to others."

"Lord Baylor and the servant wanted to go together, and I also mobilized five thousand gunmen from the green battalion, soldiers who were good at using firecrackers from each battalion, and more than a hundred cannons, although they were not as good as those that Lord Baylor brought from the capital. The quality of the artillery that came is good, but the advantage lies in the quantity, I and we will definitely wipe out the Huaxia Army this time."

Boluo nodded slightly, "The Huaxia Army grew up from a small group of people, and later developed into a rebel army. Now it has developed into an army. I have heard the report from the masters, saying that the Huaxia Army has become a country of its own. There are so many skilled craftsmen, especially the firecrackers and cannons they made, the quality is not inferior to the ones I hired Taixi people to make. Even when the firecrackers captured from the battlefield were taken to the Taixi people, the Taixi people were amazed at the exquisite workmanship and sharp firepower. It is also the reason why the emperor and the regent specially dispatched such a large army to the south, we must unite sincerely and wipe them out at once, otherwise such exquisite firearms will be lost to the people in the future, which will be very detrimental to our Qing Dynasty's unification of the country."

"Yes, I must do my best to assist Lord Belle to suppress the rebellion and the Chinese bandit army, and at the same time track down their property for the use of the country and our dynasty. At the same time, we will not let such a delicate firecracker and sharp artillery go to the people. , or let the Ming army get it, endangering our foundation of the Qing Dynasty."

"Okay, let's do it like this, go down, rectify the army and march as soon as possible." Bo Luo said.

"Yes, I'll leave now, slave." Hong Chengchou withdrew from the Boluo barracks, returned to his own barracks, summoned all the generals to discuss, and ordered to set off immediately overnight, and must reach Raozhou as soon as possible.

After giving the order and returning to his tent, Hong Chengchou received the information detected by the scouts, "Report, at noon today, the Mandahai Department has encountered the enemy and is in fierce battle. The enemy is occupying 8000 kilometers away from our army. According to investigations, , The enemy army is the second field brigade of the enemy Huaxia Army originally stationed on the border of Raozhou Prefecture, with a strength of more than 2000 troops, mostly infantry, more than [-] cavalry, and nearly a hundred cannons in the army.

Hong Chengchou murmured: "This is the beginning of a fight. Well, we will destroy some of them first, and then occupy the capital city of Raozhou. This time, let the Huaxia army be defeated. When Duoduo's troops arrive in Fujian, they will attack back and forth. Zhang Qiang, Zhang Qiang, you are still too tender, I just used a trick of suspicion, you divide your own troops, I will eat you bit by bit, and then the army besieged Jiangsu and Zhejiang from all sides, and soon, you and other bright men Like the army, they had no choice but to run away.”

"The order is to let the cavalry escort the cannons as soon as possible, and the rest of the army will pull out their camps and follow behind. Don't go too fast, and don't be too slow. Just keep the same speed as the cannons' army."

After finishing speaking, he squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, "Zhang Qiang, when you return to the army two days later, I have already occupied Raozhou Prefecture. Facing an army of more than 30, let me see how you will fight? After Duoduo's troops arrive, The Qing army with three kings is comparable to you in terms of firearms. Your advantage no longer exists. It is a pity that you, who are good at using firearms, cannot be used by my Qing Dynasty. Who made you the lord of a country now? Woolen cloth?

In this way, Hong Chengchou led his 7000 troops to stop and go all night. When he received the news the next day, it was a news that made him unhappy. Man Dahai was defeated, and five thousand cavalry attacked The more than [-] infantry soldiers of the Huaxia Army who were marching were defeated. "

He hurriedly reported to Boluo again, and then led the army to speed up, but no matter how anxious he was, the troops couldn't get up quickly, because there was a little rain at night, coupled with the humid climate in the south, and many rivers, the troops had to wade There are several small rivers, and when they arrived at the border, they were only ten kilometers away from the Second Brigade of the Huaxia Army, but they couldn't go any further because he had to wait for the reunion of the Qing army in Ji'an Prefecture, which came from Huizhou Prefecture, and wait for the reconciliation from the second brigade of the Huaxia Army. The Qing army secretly dispatched by Jinling outflanked the rear.

And Bolobele's troops were also unable to move fast because of their artillery. Two Qing troops with a large number of troops actually met for about five or six kilometers, ten miles away, but they couldn't meet up. They rushed to the battlefield to support Mandahai's troops. force.

Of course, when he finished his report and came back, two pieces of good news came. The reinforcements had arrived and arrived in the territory of Raozhou Prefecture, which was only [-] kilometers away from them. However, a piece of bad news made him look serious. , Mandahai was defeated, the entire army was nearly [-] people, and only [-] cavalry escaped.
