Lord of Ming Dynasty

It's not easy.

When you have time, you must pull up your own team.

The most important problem now is to repel the attack of the Qing army in the historical world. There are [-] troops. Although the main force of the Qing army is only [-] people, there are quite a lot of Han army flags and those servants who surrendered in the Ming Dynasty. Yes, their loyalty to the Qing Dynasty is somewhat stronger than their loyalty to the original Ming Dynasty.

Maybe the Qing army beat people with force, but the Ming army inherited the 5000-year-old opportunistic skill of China, and they used all means. Therefore, Zhang Qiang felt that his main opponents were the Ming army, the servant army of the Qing Dynasty.

Chapter 4 Heading to the subordinate lords

"Zhu Dadian," Zhang Qiang looked at the cold clothes on his body, "first change my outfit for this king."

"Yes, Chief Governor." Zhu Dadian immediately ordered his servant to bring a set of luxurious clothes. Zhang Qiang followed his servant to the guest room in the backyard, washed up, and changed into a set of clean and luxurious clothes.

After the two sat down in the living room, Zhang Qiang took a sip of the tea brought by the maid. The warm tea wiped away Zhang Qiang's cold and exhaustion since he traveled, and his whole body was warm and full of strength.

Swinging away the servant, Zhang Qiang put down his teacup, and said to Zhu Dadian: "Aiqing, do you know why you feel that everything around you these days is abnormal?"

NPC Zhu Dadian said: "That's right, the governor, the old minister can't understand why the people here are so strange, and they are different from our original Ming Dynasty?"

Zhang Qiang rubbed his chin, muttering to himself, of course it's different.

After Chongzhen died in the game world, the Qing Dynasty still couldn't go south, because the game world is a balanced world. Except for breaking the balance by force, all the forces are relatively strong, and that kingdom can't do anything to each other at once. It is a kingdom established by player forces.

And this is the Ming Dynasty in the historical world. In history, the Qing Dynasty was very powerful. Up to now, according to the history I know, it should be Nanming who is fighting against the Qing Dynasty. Li Zicheng’s Dashun is like a bereaved dog. In Sichuan, the situation is also in decline.

The Qing Dynasty is making great strides to destroy the last dynasty of the Han people, and in the near future, it will take more than ten years to wipe out the remaining resistance forces of the Ming Dynasty. The Nanming Dynasty will also perish soon, and only Zhang Huangyan, who is beside Emperor Longwu, persisted until 1664. By 1659, the Qing Dynasty had successfully achieved the unification of the entire Ming Dynasty, and some resistance forces could hardly make waves. For the Qing Dynasty, it could only scratch the surface and could not be shaken.

But at this moment, Zhang Qiang is not going to explain to Zhu Dadian. This is a system engineering, and it takes two or three years to explain it. It is equivalent to giving Zhu Dadian a history lesson in another world. Zhang Qiang is not a history teacher, let alone space science. Home, how can you explain clearly?

He could only say a few words, attributing Zhu Dadian's time travel to some abnormal phenomenon, and telling Zhu Dadian that he was brought to an overseas world different from the original game world by some force. This overseas world has the same land and national conditions as Daming. , but there is a slight difference, that is, the Qing Dynasty is the mortal enemy of the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time on this continent, the Qing Dynasty is quite powerful.

But it also explained for a long time, about two hours.

Knowing the current situation, Zhu Dadian also understood his own situation. He was quite flustered. If Zhang Qiang hadn’t comforted him, he might have escaped. The NPC in the game world is different from the Zhu Dadian in the historical world. To serve the country and be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, this Zhu Dadian thought of running away. When he really could not escape, his relationship with himself would decrease. When his strength was exhausted, he would betray the kingdom and surrender to other Power, other kingdoms, in their minds only have power and wealth, but not greatness and loyalty.

But Zhang Qiang can't let him do this. He has to rely on the current NPC Zhu Dadian to inherit the strength and wealth of the historical Zhu Dadian to create his own world. No matter how bad it is, he has to escape from here.

How to master a force and get some wealth out of NPC Zhu Dadian, and become a starting capital for himself when traveling back to the end of Ming Dynasty, this is the most urgent thing.

Although this person is the lord of his subordinates in the game world, well, although the game world is also set in the Ming Dynasty, a power is a kingdom, and the person in charge of the kingdom is the king, but the king's subordinates Courtiers, they are not the Ming courtiers that Zhang Qiang is familiar with in history. They are actually warlords. The advantage is to have a good relationship with them, otherwise, when the enemy army comes to besiege, they will not bring troops to rescue you, and if you call them out to fight against the enemy, they will not come.

Their property and your property, their territory and your territory are two different things. It belongs to you in name, but in fact it belongs to them privately.

Just like the emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty in history had the majesty of the emperor, he could replace civil officials at will, but he could not replace powerful generals at will. It is a sad thing to order out of the capital.

He looked up and looked outside, and seemed to remember that it was night when Jinhua Mansion was breached by the Qing army in history, but now it was noon, and there was not much time left for Zhang Qiang.

"Aiqing, do you understand our situation now? Our current kingdom is only Jinhua Mansion. I don't have any troops or property around me now. Can you lend some to me temporarily and return it to me when I come to Japan?" How are you?" Zhang Qiang asked NPC Zhu Dadian carefully.

When it comes to money and the army, the NPC Zhu Dadian has a painful expression on his face. Although Zhu Dadian in the game world is different from the one in the historical world, the Zhu Dadian in the game world is a game character that refers to Zhu Dadian in the historical world. His greedy character is still Similarly, when it comes to money and rights, especially money, asking him for it is like cutting his flesh.

Seeing his pain, Zhang Qiang shook his head, and then said to Zhu Dadian: "Forget it, but the place we are now is different from before. You have status, but this king has nothing in this world. Identity, how about it, you give an order to promote me as the commander-in-chief of your army, and give me an identity so that I can lead them to fight."

Although according to the rules of the game world, when those who follow the governor to fight and launch a battle with the enemy, the troops of other lords must listen to Zhang's strength, but it is also a limited dispatch, and they have to go through the NPC Zhu Dadian, the lord, but It's different now, because it's not the game world anymore, those soldiers are not NPC soldiers, and they don't listen to Zhang Qiang, so Zhang Qiang needs an identity, and also needs some soldiers under his command who obey his orders.

In fact, the soldiers under Zhu Dadian's control in history were not the official army, but the rebel army summoned by Zhu Dadian and the urban gentry of Jinhua Prefecture. This is why Zhang Qiang saw in the system that the number of soldiers led by the NPC Zhu Dadian was 1000, except for Zhu Dadian himself.

In fact, there are more than that in the Jinhua mansion, but although those rebels are dispatched by Zhu Dadian, the largest official and most famous squire in Jinhua mansion, they are not under his control. They need to be dispatched by some officials and squires in the government office. Wan Qingzhuang is actually in a state of loose management, and his combat effectiveness cannot be fully exerted.

"Okay, then the minister will first appoint the governor as the deputy commander of the rebel army in Jinhua Mansion, and at the same time the governor can recruit some soldiers on his own."

The NPC Zhu Dadian finally spoke, and wrote an order with pen, ink, paper and inkstone, asking the servants to go down and distribute it, and at the same time let people make Zhang Qiang's waist card. Now Zhang Qiang is the deputy commander of this rebel army, but there is still no one under him. Bing, but he was able to speak in Jinhua Mansion with a legitimate identity of one person under one man and over ten thousand people.

Chapter 5 On the walls, the situation is dire

Hu Kui didn't go far, and let a spy escape to the Grand Scholars' Mansion. The spy even said that there was any way to defeat the enemy. He also hoped that the spy could really save the Jinhua Mansion, but he was still worried about the spy It would be detrimental to the Grand Scholars, so he took five of his guards, young and strong, to guard not far from the back door of Zhu Dadian's mansion, staring at the back door eagerly, not daring to go far.

Just when he was about to see through, the back door opened, and Zhang Qiang walked out with the two servants who had brought him into Zhu Dadian's mansion.

This time it is not Zhang Qiang who is like a beggar, but a gorgeous robe, and a Mingguang armor used by the generals of the Ming army. There is also a waist knife of the Ming army hanging on his waist, and a short firearm from the Ming Dynasty. Gun, now he is the deputy commander of the rebel army in Jinhua Mansion.

Now that the Ming Dynasty has perished and the Nanming Dynasty was established, Zhu Dadian did not enter the dynasty although he was an official. The Qing army went south and destroyed the Shaowu court. Emperor Longwu was also fleeing. There is no formal Ming army, and the rebel army is not a legitimate Ming army, so this army only has generals with unofficial titles such as commander and deputy commander.

Seeing Zhang Qiang walking out of Zhu's mansion dressed like this, Hu Kui was taken aback, what does this mean?He couldn't figure it out.

The two servants who followed Zhang Qiang were very discerning. When they saw Hu Kui and the others guarding the back door of the mansion, they immediately issued Zhu Dadian's warrant and shouted: "My lord has an order to promote Zhang Qiang, a righteous citizen, to gold." Deputy Commander of the Rebel Army in Washington, now he is an official, you must not trouble him in the future, let alone slander his reputation, forget everything in the past, and do not publicize it, understand?"

"Yes, yes, yes, the villain must keep it in mind, and tell his subordinates not to declare!" Hu Kui immediately responded to the servant's words. The servant is not a noble person, but compared to others, he is still much higher. In his opinion, say a few more words, show an attitude, and please the servant. Maybe one day the servant will be happy in front of Zhu Dashi. He said one or two good words, and when he has a chance, he can go to the next level, become something, maybe he has a chance to become the servant of the Zhu family, and he will be closer to the dignitaries, and he will have more opportunities to get promoted and make a fortune in the future up.

Zhang Qiang looked at Hu Kui, a burly man, not in a dazed manner, but with shrewdness in his eyes. Even though he has taken the position of deputy commander of the Jinhua Mansion and got a suit of clothes, he is still single One person, a few small scouts, if you want to come to NPC Zhu Dadian, you will pay too much attention. With your own identity, these servants will not stop you. Why don't you ask Hu Kui and bring him with you and slowly cultivate him, at least there are a few people around him Hands, also in line with their own identity.

Although the two servants around him were sent to him by NPC Zhu Dadian, it was difficult to use them anyway. He said to the servant Jia next to him: "I don't have anyone around me, why don't you transfer this team of patrolmen to my side?" Errand, okay?"

Jia Ding Jia and Jia Ding Yi saw how familiar Zhang Qiang and NPC Zhu Dadian were. The two of them talked in the room all morning, and they were sent to work by his side. This patrol team is not very elite. Seeing that the master would not object, he immediately said with a smile: "Everything is up to the deputy commander to decide. It is also in line with your status to recruit a few ordinary young men as guards. I think the master will not have anything to say."

"Well," Zhang Qiang nodded slightly in satisfaction, and said to Hu Kui and a team of patrolmen beside him: "You can hear me, follow me now!"

Hu Kui quickly cupped his fists and bowed, "Yes, my lord."

Once the manpower was settled and the soldiers were secured, Zhang Qiang waved his hand, "Go to the city gate, go up the city wall, and follow me to see the Tartars. It's also a good idea to relieve the danger of Jinhua as soon as possible."

With these few people, Zhang Qiang came to the city wall in the southwest corner. Because Zhu Dadian's servant led him, he was not stopped at all. Zhang Qiang felt unsuitable for being courteous and flattering.

After finally coping with the warm hospitality of the generals who guarded the city, Zhang Qiang looked out of the city. This look almost made him fall off the city wall. Fortunately, the burly man who was just recruited beside him, the leader of the patrol, Hu Kui, had quick hands and eyes. He grabbed him.

Zhang Qiang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand. As a modern person, he has been educated to be obedient and sensible like a sheep. Don’t yell, beat and scold at allies, and don’t talk about war lightly, otherwise you will have no place to live. Good old man, apart from spraying on the keyboard, venting, playing war games, and being an otaku, he really has never seen the real incident of so many enemy soldiers besieging the castle, even so many people gathered in front of him at the same time. Haven't seen it.

I saw dense crowds outside the city wall, like an army of ants, occupying the opposite bank of the Wujiang River, and farther away, the beaches divided by rivers and lakes hit the ground one by one, and Qing army camps rose continuously, with the sound of war drums. Powerful, connected in one piece, with flags waving, teams of cavalry criss-crossing in the middle of each phalanx, galloping back and forth, turf splashing and dust flying.

On the Wujiang River, pontoon bridges connect the two banks. A siege city was pushed over from the wide pontoon bridge and piled up under the city pool. Under the city pool, teams of Mongolian cavalry were running, while bending their bows and shooting arrows on their horses. , Shooting arrows towards the top of the city, harassing the volunteer soldiers of the Ming army at the top of the city.

The archers of the volunteer soldiers of the Ming army on the top of the city leaned out of the battlements one after another and shot at the Mongolian cavalry, but the effect was very bad. The opponent was riding on a horse and was in motion.

The shooting speed and skill of the cavalry, the rebel archers who have just been transferred from ordinary people to the rebel militia are the opponents of the Mongolian cavalry. I saw the Mongolian cavalry running back and forth under the city wall, shooting arrows continuously, and very few were hit and fell off their horses. The screams at the top of the city kept coming and going, and from time to time, you could see the archers of the rebel army in other places because they leaned too much. After being shot, they fell under the city wall. The meters are high.

Of course, those corpses were not only those of the rebel archers, but most of them belonged to the Qing army, because before Zhang Qiang came, Jinhua County, where Jinhua Prefecture is located, had been besieged for about a month, and hundreds of battles had been fought. Compared with the defender, as long as the enemy does not rush to the city wall, the number of people who die must be much less than that of the opponent. Even if the opponent attacks the city, they will pay a high price when they are close to the city wall or climbing the city wall, because in During this process, they can only be beaten by the defenders, and they cannot fight back. Only when they climb up the city wall and jump up, can they touch their opponents. At this moment, they can cause casualties to the defenders. It is common sense that the siege party must face such an embarrassing moment.

Due to the blockage of the Wujiang River, compared with the attack on Jinhua County, the Qing army had to pay more casualties.

Outside Jinhua County is the Wujiang River, which is equivalent to the natural moat of Jinhua County, and it is a large and insurmountable obstacle. There is only a stone bridge in the middle connecting the county. Of course, the Qing army can also use boats on the Wujiang River to cross the river. Attack Jinhua County.

Compared with the locals, the Qing army would suffer in water battles, and it took a lot of effort to finally approach the city wall of Jinhua County. No small damage.

Although all of these made the Jinhua defenders very excited, it seems that there is no shortage of fighting warriors in Ming Dynasty, but these warriors can only be used by the Qing army. Following the explanation of the servants around him, Zhang Qiang already knew the composition of the opponent's Qing army. The elite of the Eight Banners of the Wanqing Army, and 300 to 3000 were descended from the Ming Army. Under the city wall, it extended to the opposite bank of the Wujiang River. The Eight Banners soldiers of the Han Army in the official army did not have many casualties, but 5000 people. The real deaths were some newly surrendered Ming army generals' guards and some regiment training soldiers, or township soldiers, and even some were killed. Almost [-] or [-] people were killed or injured by the people of Ming Dynasty who were recruited as civilian husbands.

The fighting became more and more intense. As more and more soldiers came from the other side, a new round of siege battles began. Countless long ladders were carried by civilian husbands and Han army flag soldiers, rushing towards the city wall. The Mongolian cavalry under the city wall They have already withdrawn, and more soldiers from the Han army and soldiers from the Ming army came. Under the cover of infantry shields, the archers of the Ming army approached the city wall, and dense bows and arrows flew up the city wall. There were screams one after another around Zhang Qiang. The sound, as well as the shouts of the rebel officers, caused chaos on the city wall.

Zhang Qiang was still lying on the crenel and looking down. In the distance, the artillery positions of the Qing army were tensely preparing.
