Lord of Ming Dynasty

Zhang Qiang sent a soldier to follow them to find Wei Wuji to arrange them, and said to the soldiers around him: "Cherish orders, follow Xuanyuan Longfei, Zhou Congee, Du Ge, Hu Kui, You Haibo, Lord Wei Wuji, go to the county government office!" To discuss matters, we must arrive within half an hour, no matter where they are, otherwise the military law will proceed."

After speaking, Zhang Qiang rushed to the county government.

I met Wei Wuji on the road, "My lord, are you going to use Mi Chun and Mi Lin?"

Zhang Qiang told Wei Wuji the conversation he had with the two of them just now, and Wei Wuji's eyes lit up, "My lord, the method proposed by these two people seems to be the best choice for us at the moment, but I don't know if Master You can agree. But in the past month or so, I have taken the magistrate as a taste. He is conscientious and dedicated to the common people. At first, I thought he was a tyrannical man, and the common people were not bad. I didn’t expect him to be honest and honest, for the affairs of the common people, and for the adults. You have handed over your property and generals in your career, and you have not complained. Such a good official is rare in Ming Dynasty."

Zhang Qiang smiled. He didn't want to influence Wei Wuji, a Daming man, with his later generations' views on Daming. Besides, he used to be a servant. Although he was a servant of the Zhu family, he must be extraordinary, but he was a servant after all, and he was restricted by the times. , vision, etc. can't compare with him, it is rare for him to have such an evaluation of You Haibo today.

"Which two boys are good. You need to help me with the things I entrust to them. In addition, you have to take on more important responsibilities. Show them to me. After all, they are outsiders, and we can't fully trust them. Our military resources and food , you can’t leave it all to them, you send your confidants to follow.”

"Yes, my lord, I will understand in the end."

Under the night, the hall of the county government office was brightly lit. Zhang Qiang's personal soldiers surrounded the hall of the county government office. Zhang Qiang and his six loyal subordinates were discussing nervously.

Chapter 45 Parting ways

Just after Zhang Qiang proposed to evacuate Wuyi County, You Haibo stood up and strongly opposed Zhang Qiang's approach.

"My lord, if this is the case, if we abandon the people of Wuyi County and send them to the enemy, will they trust us in the future?"

"Besides, we have so much food, weapons, and silver in our city that it is difficult to transfer them out in time. The enemy has already approached Yongkang County. If we leave at this time, it is tantamount to leaving our backs to the enemy. If we don't fight, we will be defeated."

"My lord, the land of Ming Dynasty and the people of Ming Dynasty should not give up easily. Only by standing firm and waiting for help, Lord Zhu will not give up on us. If not, we can send someone to ask for help from the court. I believe the court will not ignore us."

Zhang Qiang glanced at the other subordinates, but they didn't respond. Du Ge looked concerned, and seemed to care about his answer to You Haibo.

Zhang Qiang shook his head, he belonged to someone else, he ignored You Haibo.

Shen Sheng said: "We can transport food and grass out of the city in batches and hide them in the mountains. The troops will deal with the enemy. When the enemy feels that Wuyi County is stable, they will naturally retreat and we will fight back. At that time, the guards of the county will There won't be too many enemy troops, we'll come back again."

You Haibo immediately interjected, "What if the enemy returns?"

Zhang Qiang said with a smile: "Let's retreat again. We will come back when the enemy army is gone."

You Haibo said angrily: "It's just a child's play. It is so exhausting to the people and money. The army and the people are exhausted. If the heavy rain and cold wave come, the army is in the wild, there is no place to shelter, and the morale and morale of the army are lost. Our team will disperse without a fight. The strength will be damaged. After two rounds, the guards will be strengthened and a large army will be dispatched to encircle and suppress them. At that time, there will be no popular support, no food and grass, and the strength of the army will be weakened. What shall we do?"

Zhang Qiang spread his hands, "Then, what do you think, Lord Magistrate?"

You Haibo said: "If your lord thinks the enemy is too strong, why don't you take the army and civilians to Fuzhou. The emperor is in Fuzhou. He has a strong army. There are [-] troops from the Zheng family. If the enemy can't reach him for a while, we can rest there."

"Master Zhixian, the Zheng family will accept us and not annex us? We are all subordinates of the Lord, and we are favored by the Lord. If the Zheng family breaks up and annexes us, how will we deal with ourselves?" Zhou Porridge stood up. asked.

There was a verbal battle in the lobby for more than half an hour.

You Haibo saw that other people were also loyal to Zhang Qiang, so he couldn't help but said dejectedly: "Forget it, this old man takes the You family members and go overseas to avoid disaster. My lord, take care." After finishing speaking, he walked down the county office lobby.

Although Zhang Qiang did everything possible to persuade him to stay, You Haibo still felt that there was nothing he could do and decided to leave.

Zhang Qiang could only bid farewell to him.

Zhang Qiang's subordinates are only looking forward to Zhang Qiang's horse, and Zhang Qiang can do what he says, but Yu Haibo, Zhang Qiang can't force it. The next day, after half a day of mobilization, You Haibo brought his family and some people in the city who were willing to follow him. There are about [-] people in the village, heading towards Fuzhou.

At the same time, Du Ge's brigade was also leaving. Those people used to be You Haibo's servants. Zhang Qiang couldn't say that he would not let them take them away. You Haibo's evacuation led to the rest of the people, and they left again overnight. Two thousand people.

Originally, with the arrival of refugees and refugees during this period, Wuyi County already had more than 1 people, but now there are more than 5000 people left.

The entire county was in chaos. Many people left, and the refugees who came in also left, leaving only some refugees and people who were unwilling to leave, about [-] people.

The people who left also took away the young and strong members of Zhang Qiang's army. Those were the family members of the people, and Zhang Qiang had to let them go, so Zhang Qiang just pulled up 2000 troops and shrunk to 300.

But these 300 people are the elite force of Zhang Qiang's entire army.

Zhang Qiang trained a total of three waves of soldiers who have been blessed with the skills of the system coaches. More than half of the previous wave was lost in the battle, and now there are still 420 elite troops left.

Among them, there were 80 musketeers, 230 gunners, and 100 pro-army infantry.

When these came, they were all assigned to the subordinate troops. I am currently still bringing 150 Qing and Han troops to the troops for training.

While training, he also has to take care of other things.

A sentry cavalry came running from a distance, "My lord, we have detected that the enemy sentry cavalry has approached the border of Wuyi County, and many villages in the county were brutally slaughtered by the enemy."

Zhang Qiang had no choice but to urge his subordinates to transfer the supplies in the city as soon as possible.

Mi Chun was appointed as the captain of the transportation team, and he was given 100 young men from the new strong Latin, plus 400 of his original bandit subordinates, a total of [-] people, and asked him to find a place as soon as possible, and put the food, weapons, They were transported out of the city and scattered and buried in the mountains.

Of course, Mi Chun is a rogue after all, so he cannot be fully trusted, and Xuanyuan Longfei is involved in this matter.

On the third day, the people and refugees in the city fled one after another, leaving only a thousand people who were stubborn and did not want to leave in the whole city.

More than 100 strong men brought by Zhang Qiangqiang also escaped, and some soldiers also escaped. The Qing army put more and more pressure on Zhang Qiang's troops.

According to the reconnaissance, the enemy's part was led by Chen Jia, Liu Guangbi was the vanguard, and Lin Chengcheng's troops followed. A total of 1 people had arrived at Quanxi Town. For a while, the wind was buzzing, and the grass and trees were full of soldiers. The sentinels reported more than a dozen times a day Condition.

At night, even those who did not want to leave their hometown left 200 people.

Zhang Qiang's material transfer work was still not completed. At this time, Zhu Dadian's envoy for help also came. Zhu Dadian hoped that he could lead his troops to support Jinhua Fucheng.

But Zhang Qiang didn't want to be besieged in Jinhua Fucheng again. This time, he felt that it would be impossible to escape. Zhu Dadian's troops reached 3000 people, and many new county magistrates and Ming troops from other counties were transferred to Jinhua Fucheng by Zhu Dadian.

It looks powerful, but it is actually fragile, the troops are disorganized, there is no unified command, lack of training, the city is forced to go, and it is barely repaired, but it is no longer repaired. The reason is that there is no money, and the squires and officials do not want to pay. .

On the fourth day, the enemy had reached Shuxi. At night, Zhang Qiang led his troops out of the county and headed all the way to Bailuxi.

On this day, he finally completed the training of the fourth batch of 150 pro-army soldiers. Because these pro-army soldiers were surrendered under the banner of the Han army, they had their own combat effectiveness. After training, they had reached the standard of proficient soldiers of the rebel army.

This time, Zhang Qiang disrupted them and added them to Zhou Porridge, Xuanyuan Longfei, and Wei Wuji's troops.

Due to Du Ge's departure, he lost part of the elite and some trained rebel soldiers, but Du Ge still left behind the troops that were originally rebel soldiers, and these were also added to the troops of the other three.

This time, Zhang Qiang added all of the cold weapon troops to other people's troops, and brought back all the firearms players in their troops.

The three hundred gunners were all controlled by Zhang Qiang.

Hu Kui's cavalry unit was increased to one hundred cavalry after supplementing some cavalry selected from the captives of the Han army flag.

The rest consisted of [-] soldiers each, half of them were skilled rebel soldiers who had been trained by Zhang Qiang, some senior rebel soldiers, and the rest were soldiers with previous combat experience.

There are a total of [-] troops. Compared with the strength of Zhang Qiang and Liu Liangzuo in the previous battle, these troops are more than just a step up.

In addition, there are two new subordinates, Mi Chun and Mi Lin, who lead the 300 pro-armies sent to them by Zhang Qiang, as well as the 420 rogue soldiers who belonged to them originally, plus they are willing to serve as soldiers with Zhang Qiang's troops. There are [-] young and strong rebels, and a total of [-] supply troops.

They escorted captives, food and grass. The Mongols captured by Zhang Qiang, the Qing army’s Tartars, and the enemy soldiers of the Han army who were left to work. These people were about 600 people, and a large part of them wanted to be transformed, but Zhang Qiang felt that Their loyalty is not enough, so they can only be taken with them and let them be the coolies of the supply team to transport supplies.

At night, sentry cavalry came to report and learned that they had fled overnight. The enemy troops in Shuxi stepped up and rushed up, and finally stopped in Wuyi County.
