Lord of Ming Dynasty

The matter of Hong Chengchou was soon known by Zhang Qiang. He was very relieved to see that Hong Chengchou actually wanted to rebel against the Qing Dynasty, but he knew that he could not accept Hong Chengchou, a big traitor who had contributed so much to the Qing army and ruined the Ming Dynasty, but he could I was very happy to continue to ambush a nail by my side, and immediately wrote a text message to Tian Bin, which was delivered to Tian Bin through the carrier pigeon of the Military Intelligence Bureau.

Tian Bin told Feng Quan with a smile on the third day that he was ready. That time he came to the capital to take the first town of the new army with him. He was accompanied by the other three towns sent by Hong Chengchou. This time he planned to take three towns with him. Going back to the town, these three towns are the new army he has instigated and loyal to Hong Chengchou in the past few years.

Since Dorgon transferred them, the Qing army has set up ten new army towns near the capital. After Dorgon's death, with the support and help of the Portuguese and the Dutch, more soldiers trained by the Portuguese and the Dutch were added. Three new army towns, and then they gradually trusted these new army towns, and pushed aside the four new army towns of Hong Chengchou, and even split them up, suppressed them, and replaced the officers with Manchurians. These four new army towns are not the original Xinjun towns.

This is the Xinjun Town controlled by the nails arranged by the Huaxia Army's Military Intelligence Department. There may not be too high officials, but once the troops are to be taken away, they will definitely be able to take them all away, leaving only the Manchu generals and their troops. Jia Ding, and those Han generals who did not repent.

Feng Quan was very happy. He thought it would be great if Tian Bin could take away his servants and generals, or Hong Chengchou just let him go back alone, but he didn't expect to be able to take away four Xinjun towns. How many people are there? With a strength of [-] to over [-] troops, there is no need to worry about Xinjun Town now.

It can't be said how advanced or advanced it is, but it is absolutely convenient.

And with the increase of R&D personnel, it is mainly because the Huaxia Army has added other industry exams on the basis of the imperial examinations, 360 lines, and there are exams for all walks of life. Low-level personnel can get a government-certified industry qualification certificate. With these certificates, you can engage in research in related industries, and sell the research results to the government, and the government pays a certain amount of money to buy the research results.

This is the qualification certificate for all people in the industry. It is an honor to have this certificate, just like a scholar who has been admitted to Tongsheng. In the village, you can also get the reception of the village head, the head of the security, or the head of the township, and let everyone look at you highly. In these low-level administrative positions, you can also get a good income and a basic monthly salary.

People in the village read a letter, recognize a character, or build something, find an authority to authenticate it, and they will come to you, or the price of what you come up with is higher than the price of other people who have not been authenticated. I have to find you when dealing with the government.

Zhang Huangyan walked all the way, passing through the countryside, and learned about these things through the mouth of the young guide who led the way.

Low-level certification does not require you to be literate or have read books, as long as you can get something in the industry and get government approval.

And can get the qualification to go to adult night school for free. If you graduate from the night school, that is to say, you know ten Arabic numerals and more than one hundred characters, you can take the qualification certification level two examination.

These exams are all focused on industry leaders. If you can speak clearly about farm work and record it with the help of others, and if you can understand it yourself, you will be able to obtain a second-level qualification certification.

These people were all requisitioned by the government to help solve problems such as going to the countryside to count the amount of farmland, how much it produces, how much iron can be smelted, how much iron can be hammered in a day, whether some things made by carpenters meet the standards set by the government, and help the government solve the problems of contact with people in these industries. Task.

Of course, these people do not need to receive wages. They will be paid when they are requisitioned.

They have no possibility of being promoted to government servants, but they can assist the government in doing things, even put forward some good suggestions, and develop good things. The government will sell their suggestions and research and development at a high price. This is the government's achievements. The civil servants above have to rely on them if they want to be promoted to higher-level section officials.

The fourth level is usually those who have read books and have profound attainments in the industry. They also have the heart of being an official. Members can be promoted to official positions, and can be promoted to positions such as clerks, document offices, book books, etc., which are equivalent to the assistants of township heads and town heads.

As the admiral of Hubei Province, Xiao Fei is in charge of military affairs. As the governor and governor of Hubei Province, he is in charge of civil affairs. Take over the No.20 field brigade commander.

Brother Zhu took over as commander of the Seventh Field Brigade, Wang Yuqun led the No.19 Field Brigade, and Mei Linyu led the No.20 First Field Brigade. These four troops are still fighting He Tengjiao's Yongli Daming Army on the front line, oppressing the enemy step by step living space.

The Fourth Cavalry Brigade of Gaohui followed Zhang Qiang, and was controlled by Zhang Qiang himself. The senior generals of the Huaxia Army were frequently transferred, and a senior general would not control a troop for a long time. This was a necessary means for Zhang Qiang to control the Huaxia Army and check and balance the rebellion of his subordinates. .

Xiao Fei was originally the commander of the cavalry battalion of the Jinhua Rebel Army. Later, he took command of the Fourth Field Brigade and was finally transferred to the Third Field Brigade. Under the command of Wei Wuji, he confronted the Qing Army along the Yangtze River for two years. When the war broke out, he was transferred to Jiujiang Mansion again, took control of the militia brigade and the garrison, formed a headquarters, and jointly commanded the No.20 Field Brigade led by Brother Zhu and the No.20 First Field Brigade led by Mei Linyu, and later joined the Tong Dawei's Fifth Cavalry Brigade and Wang Yuqun's No.19 Field Brigade commanded a huge force of nearly [-] troops.

Later, he took control of the 20th Field Brigade that came for reinforcements. Now the [-]th Field Brigade is handed over to Brother Zhu, who was once the deputy commander of the [-]th Field Brigade. Zhu Ge stepped down as the brigade commander of the [-]nd Cavalry Brigade and led the No.[-] Field Brigade , Brother Zhu is now the real brigade commander of the Seventh Field Brigade. This position will not change for a period of time, but it may change in the future.

These people who can read books and study skills in various industries will eventually become deputy township heads, deputy mayors, or research officials. More senior officials can take the imperial examination and then enter a higher research institution.

The new carriage was made under the inspiration of Zhang Qiang and with the help of old carpenters and blacksmiths.

At the same time, under the advice and promotion of a businessman or a treasurer-born researcher, he quickly entered the army and civilians of the Huaxia Army, and gained commercial and national interests.

Let the society promote its own development. Zhang Qiang is only a bystander and a guide. Otherwise, with his knowledge structure, insight, and historical knowledge, he will not be able to reach the level of other traversers in 100 years. years of development.

Chapter 592 The Road to Return

Everyone was stunned by the news. The Han general Tian Bin took the four new army towns of the Qing army to kill the Manchu generals, soldiers, and the entire Manchu people in Tongzhou City, and then ran away.

Tian Bin brought [-] reduced Han soldiers and the four new armies dominated the town like a broken bamboo. They attacked the city all the way and went straight to Shandong Province. They were overtaken by the cavalry of the Qing army near Jinan Prefecture. The two sides fought in the wilderness near Jinan Prefecture. confrontation.

The Qing army near Jinan Prefecture surrounded them like flies smelling decay and attacked them.

Because they brought too much luggage when they fled, the firearms unit was like this, with cannons, ammunition, guns, supplies, and even horse fodder for the cavalry, etc., a huge team.

It must not be going fast, otherwise there would be no need for so many battles.

Because after all, this is still the site where the Manchu Qing ruled for more than 20 years, and the teachings of the Manchu Qing have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Many people are looking forward to being promoted and making a fortune in the court of the Manchu Qing. vanguard.

The bandits who were close to them, the horse bandits also rushed to kill the rebels with money. After Man Qing knew Tian Bin's rebellion, he had already rushed to inform the officials and gentry along the road to intercept and kill the rebels. You can take the head to receive the reward, a head is worth twenty Huaxia Yuan.

Because the Huaxia Yuan of the Huaxia Army is beautiful, durable, not easy to wear, and easy to carry, the key is that no one can imitate this piece of paper. It is said that there are gold threads in it, which are used by the Huaxia Army and even the entire south. In any corner of the Ming Dynasty, everyone recognized the value of this currency, so many places in the Manchu Qing Dynasty used Huaxia Yuan as a transaction currency. Even the eunuchs in the Manchu Qing court each carried a stack of Huaxia Yuan in their pockets instead of sleeves. Stuffed with broken silver and pockets full of copper plates, how tiring it is.

A head of [-] Huaxia Yuan, killing a general will give [-] Huaxia Yuan, and he will be promoted to a higher level immediately, and those who have no official position will be given an official position, or an alternate county magistrate. It is simply a fortune. It is an opportunity for those who want to be an official. Since the Manchus lost half of the southern country, this imperial examination has not been held. The people in this class have no way at all, and now that the court has given them a way, how can they not flock to it?

Therefore, regarding Tian Bin's return from Yanjing to Hong Chengchou's territory of the Qing army this time, many people actively tipped off the news and organized Xiangyong to intercept it.

After ruling for 20 years, all the children born have become Qing people, so they can still remember that they used to be Han people, and they were once Qing people. Everyone is looking forward to raising the flag and becoming a bannerman. Even if the Huaxia Army occupies half of the country, then They are all far away from our common people, let’s be Qing people first, so as they do it, their descendants will have feelings.

This made Tian Bin's journey against the Qing Dynasty and his journey back to Hong Chengchou's territory extremely difficult.

There were Qing soldiers intercepting in front of the city, followed by Mongolian cavalry in pursuit, and many horse bandits attacked on the left and right. The villages and county towns along the road all regarded Amen as a traitor and intercepted and killed him.

Wang Dong came to Tian Bin, "General, the Mongolian cavalry is only [-] miles away from us. Should we let our cavalry attack, or leave a regiment of cavalry behind and let us move on?"

Wang Dong, as the commander-in-chief of the whole army, led the Manchu Qing Army to the fourth town after the breakup. His troops had a 3000-man cavalry force, which was divided into two cavalry regiments. A cavalry regiment was lost in the cavalry battle, and that cavalry regiment was completely annihilated because it was given a final order that led to its complete annihilation by the superior Mongolian cavalry.

Of course, that cavalry regiment did not rush up to fight the Mongolian cavalry in a foolish way, but fought guerrilla warfare, divided into dozens of cavalry teams to attack and harass the Mongolian cavalry, which brought three days of panic to the entire retreating troops. Time allowed them to run all the way from Tongzhou to the bank of the Yellow River, and finally crossed the Yellow River, throwing off the pursuit of the Mongolian cavalry.

Arriving at Jinan Prefecture has already reached the sphere of influence of Hong Chengchou's Qing army, but for some reason, the prefect of Jinan Prefecture knew about Hong Chengchou's rebellion. After Tian Bin's rebellion, he immediately controlled Hong Chengchou's Qing army here together with General Manchu, and After declaring allegiance to the Qing Dynasty, Hong Chengchou's Qing army had to retreat to the Linyi Zaozhuang line after losing tens of thousands of troops, and lost a large area of ​​​​Shandong Prefecture.

The Qing army and the green battalion on this piece of land were occupied by the Manchus. The Qing army quickly dispatched new Manchu generals and soldiers. The Mongolian cavalry took over the defense of this piece of land, so Hong Chengchou lost a lot in this piece of land. There are [-] Green Battalions, [-] Han Banner troops, and those Manchu soldiers, generals, and officials who are too late to deal with.

In terms of appeal, Hong Chengchou's rebellion is not as good as that of the Manchus. Although the Manchus no longer trusted many Han officials and generals because of their rebellion, they still couldn't kill many Han officials and generals. If they stayed in office, these people would have been assimilated long ago and regarded themselves as Qing people, so they would rebel with Hong Chengchou, so Hong Chengchou was very passive and forced to retreat.

As a result, Tian Bin, who returned, fell into the enemy's land, lost his troops and lost his generals. Fifty thousand soldiers and horses returned all the way to death, escaped, disappeared, and even rebelled up to 3 soldiers and horses. Now he can only control [-] soldiers and horses. The four new army units are equal to the loss of one and a half, but they also threw out those Han Chinese or Manchus who were not firm-willed, and the rest were willing to follow him, most of which were controlled by the original intelligence agents. up.

A few scouts ran over, "Report to the general, a Manchu Qing army is coming from Liaocheng, fifty miles away. According to reports, the strength is about [-]. It is mainly composed of new army firearms troops, supplemented by Manchu cavalry. They are approaching our flank at a speed of ten miles per hour."

Tian Bin and Wang Dong looked at each other, Tian Bin asked: "Can you find out who the enemy's leader is?"

The scout leader said: "Look at the flag, it's Duolong's troops."

"Okay, go down and find out." Tian Bin waved his hand.

Wang Dong frowned and said, "Didn't Duolong follow Aobai to fight big gold in the front line? Why did he appear here?"

Tian Bin put his chin in his hands and said: "Needless to say, we fought out, and the Mongolian cavalry came after us. Oboi must have received the order of the Manchu court and sent troops to chase us. Our fifty thousand soldiers and horses ran out. He sent Duolong with [-] soldiers and horses, and the new army must have thought they could beat us."

Wang Dong frowned and said worriedly: "Now we only have more than 3 troops. The forwards have to sweep the surrounding villages and villages to attract the enemy's attention. The rear guards have to fight the Mongolian cavalry to cover the main force to break through. The central army has to cover the food and grass. Waiting for the luggage, Hong Chengchou retreated to a farther place, and now he is not talking about sending troops to meet us. Are we going to be annihilated by the Qing Dynasty?"

Chapter 593 The Encounter Between Duolong and Tian Bin 1

Tian Bin looked into the distance, and said leisurely: "It seems that we have to change direction."

Wang Dong looked at him and said excitedly: "Get closer to Henan Province, we will go closer, fly pigeons to pass the letter, let Xuanyuan Longfei's army come out to meet us."

Tian Bin nodded slightly, dragged his chin, and pulled the rein in his hand, "Forget it, since Hong Chengchou is so unreasonable, then change the plan and let's return to the Huaxia Army camp. Anyway, Hong Chengchou's rebellion against the Qing Dynasty means his end is coming. With the half-state of Suzhou Prefecture and the half-state of Shandong Province, he can't afford to make any waves.

Let's go back to Henanzhou from the direction of Liaocheng. By the way, we will meet this Duolong, a famous escaped general. "

The messengers swarmed out, carrying Tian Bin's general order and rushed to the various armies. Soon Tian Bin led the Chinese army and turned to meet Duolong's chasing Qing army. Afterwards, Wang Dong threw off the Mongolian cavalry and chased after Tian Bin. The forward changed direction halfway and took another route, paralleling Tian Bin's Chinese army for dozens of miles to the front to meet with the Chinese army.
