Lord of Ming Dynasty

Speaking of this, Zhang Qiang lamented Nanming's incompetence, as well as the disunity, low combat effectiveness, and disunity of the original Ming generals, which actually made the Qing army retreat steadily, without the power to resist.

Zhu Dayou ran in, "My lord, Mr. Du Ge is here."

Chapter 69 The Great Ming Chaos

"The last general, Du Ge, pay homage to your lord." Du Ge was a little excited when he came in, and fell to the ground.

Zhang Qiang stepped forward and helped Du Ge up, "Du Ge, how are you doing?"

Zhang Qiang asked.

Du Ge was a little excited, when asked by Zhang Qiang, he immediately blushed and burst into tears, "My lord, I regret that I didn't listen to your teachings, and went far away to follow Master You to Fuzhou, but was harassed by the rebel army on the way, and almost left." Most of the people were scattered, and within half a month of arriving in Fuzhou, the Qing army suddenly arrived, and Zheng Jun fled without a fight. Some rebels fought desperately with the Qing army, and even our team was attacked by the Qing army. The master didn't know where he was going, and his subordinates led dozens of family members to hide from the Qing army. Two months passed in a flash. When the subordinates returned to Wuyi County, they heard the news that the master had won the Qing army, and immediately went to see Mr. Zhou Porridge .”

Zhang Qiang wiped away his tears, helped him to sit down, and asked, "Du Ge, what are your future plans?"

Du Ge got up again, and knelt down in front of Zhang Qiang, "The villain is willing to follow the adult all his life, and serve him around."

Zhang Qiang said with a smile, "I've wronged you like that,"

Du Ge followed up and said, "My lord, I've made up my mind."

Zhang Qiang said: "How can you be just a follower with your talent, captain of the personal guard, like this." He stood up, took the map of Jinhua Mansion left by Zhu Dadian, and said to Du Ge: "At present, our army has occupied all the gold. The counties in Washington, the only county that has not been recovered, I have already sent someone to attack, I believe that with his talent, there is no further talk, it is just a matter of time."

He moved his finger on the map: "Wei Wuji is guarding the northwest. He seized Longyou County and blocked the enemy's road from Quzhou. The west is a mountain, along the line of Xianxiaguan. The enemy can only come over the mountain. I have already Send scouting cavalry to patrol, if there is an enemy situation, all directions, Wucheng, my personal captain Hu Kui led [-] cavalry to garrison, stand in front of Jinhua County, and communicate with Lord Wei Wuji."

Du Ge moved his eyes along Zhang Qiang's fingers and nodded.

"In the northeast, there is the Linyang Division stationed in Lanxi County. To the east is the Wujiang River and the mountains. The enemy cannot pass through it. In the east, Michun is stationed in Pujiang County and Dongyang County in the east. Army. Xuanyuan Longfei lives in Yiwu County in the middle to support the two, and connects Jinhua Fucheng."

"From here to Yongkang County in the south, there are mountains and rivers blocking, but we can see that there are still many roads that can be passed through, directly to Jinhuafu City. The terrain in the middle is complicated, so we have to guard against it.

I am going to send you to be stationed in Nanma Town between Yongkang County and Dongyang County. You are here to connect Dongyang and Yongkang counties, and at the same time block the mountain passage from here to Huashui Town to prevent the enemy from climbing over the mountain from here. Attack Jinhuafu City, while covering the back of Dongyang County, supporting Yongkang County.

If the enemy's army comes to attack, you can send troops to intercept it while notifying Dongyang County and Yongkang County. If the enemy is too powerful, you can retreat to Yongkang and stand firm, or directly return to Jinhua Mansion Chenglai. "

After Zhang Qiang looked at Du Ge, Du Ge bowed and saluted, "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely stand there and never let the enemy have the possibility of attacking Jinhua Prefecture, and protect the safety of Dongyang and Yongkang County."

"Well, you go and take my warrant, go to Wei Wuji's place and get 3000 soldiers, Hu Kui's [-] cavalry, my headquarters [-] infantry, [-] musketeers, and then ask Zhou Porridge to get [-] soldiers. Hundred-sword poker players, as well as [-] captives selected from the captives, lead [-] troops to garrison here, carefully guarding against the enemy's sneak attack."

Du Ge bowed, "The general will understand."

After arranging for Du Ge, Zhang Qiang then left all the chores to Zhu Dayou, the butler of the Zhu family, and led the training himself.

There are nearly 500 senior firecrackers in my own army, and I have drawn [-] different types of soldiers from other people's teams, a total of [-] people. They have reached the upper limit of their sixth-level command skills and started training.

Time passed, three weeks passed, and finally the first batch of elite rebel soldiers came out.

Putting them back into their respective teams, Zhang Qiang mobilized another [-] skilled musketeers, [-] spearmen, and [-] archers to start training.

A week passed, and these people made rapid progress, almost reaching the height of senior soldiers.

During this week, 2000 injured rebel soldiers recovered from their injuries and requested to join Zhang Qiang's team. Zhang Qiang added them to his team, bringing his direct army back to 100 people, and more than [-] people at the same time. .

In addition, Zhang Qiang mobilized the [-] captured war horses to form his own cavalry cavalry team for those musketeers who could ride horses. To put it simply, they were musketeers on horseback.

For more than a month, the Qing army did not come to attack, Zhang Qiang did not look for them, and Nanming hardly knew the existence of his team. They fought inextricably with the Qing army. Nanming's territory was lost step by step The Dashun army was still moving around, but was suppressed by the Qing army, and retreated more and more towards Nanming's territory.

Nanming refused to accept them, and the two sides also fought. Finally, He Tengjiao of Hunan reached an agreement with them to let them attack Jingzhou.

Rumors spread that the murdered Li Zicheng had appeared in Hunan, but it was not known whether it was true or not.

However, the rest of the Dashun Army took advantage of the situation to contact and respond, and attacked the territory occupied by the Qing army, making the Qing army busy running around to put out fires.

The CD plain in Sichuan is still the place where the remnants of Daxi were active. It was frequently reported that Zhang Xianzhong was not dead and was still hiding in the mountains. Some generals from Daxi also appeared in Sichuan and attacked the Qing army.

Rebel armies from all over the country burned like a spark in various parts of Ming Dynasty, fighting against the Qing army. The rule of the Qing army was shaky for a while, but fortunately, the north was still stable. Some Ming army officials who surrendered tried their best to help the Qing Dynasty stabilize the place and restore people's livelihood.

At this time, a shocking news came that Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Qing army, but was asked by the Qing army to go to Yanjing to meet Emperor Shunzhi. Zheng Zhilong was forced to go and was finally detained. Military power, continue to manage Zheng's territory, Kinmen, Zhoushan, Xiamen, Quanzhou, fought against the Qing army, but lost more than won. I heard that Zheng Chenggong has already wanted to transfer his main energy to the sea, planning to attack the Netherlands on Baodao People, prepared to use this as a base to continue to resist the Qing army.

The relationship between the Zheng family and the Dutch took a turn for the worse. Some generals of the Zheng family betrayed Zheng Chenggong and surrendered to the Qing army, but most of them set up their own hills.

The situation in Daming has become complicated and confusing.

Li Chengdong continued to plan to attack the Nanming court of Emperor Longwu in Tingzhou.

At this time, it was reported that Zhu Youlang, King Guilin of Guilin, was enthroned in Zhaoqing, Guangdong with the support of a group of courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, and another Southern Ming court was established.

Year number Yongli.

Some Nanming courtiers turned their backs one after another. For a while, the Yongli court controlled most of the Nanming territory, Guangxi, Guangdong, Jiangxi, Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, etc., while the Longwu court only had Ganzhou, Zhangzhou, Tingzhou, and Ji’an. Mansion, Binzhou Mansion, Quanzhou Mansion above the name, and other small sites.

With such a great Ming, the Portuguese were not far behind, and directly sent troops to occupy Xiangshan, Jiuya, Jiuxing and other places, and expelled the county magistrate and officials of Nanming, claiming that this is the Portuguese Governor's District.

The Dutch claimed Baodao as their territory and expelled Zheng Chenggong and other Ming generals and Ming officials.

The south of the Ming Dynasty became a situation where various lords ruled separately.

Chapter 70 The Golden Sound Comes to Devotion

The situation in the south of Ming Dynasty was dizzying, but it did not affect the steady development of Zhang Qiang's rebel army.

Over the past month, about 15 people fled from various places occupied by the Qing army and still believed that they were Ming people, filling the population gap in Zhang Qiang's territory and causing the population of the entire Jinhua Mansion to soar to [-].

But this does not bring any benefits to Zhang Qiang. There are more people, but many of these people came to Jinhua Mansion to seek refuge alone. Many of them are refugees, even some wealthy landlords, squires, and former officials of the Ming Dynasty They also do not have much property, and the important thing is that they have no food to eat.

Not only can Zhang Qiang not use their manpower, because they are all unstable factors, but Zhang Qiang has to send troops around to protect them, and he can't collect taxes, because they don't have much silver on them, and he can't search them, let alone drive them away. Because Zhang Qiang needs these populations.

So Zhang Qiang had to build a porridge shed to give them alms.

Zhang Qiang had to transfer Zhou Porridge back from Wuyi County, and then dispatched Hu Kui to take over his post of guard in Wuyi County, and personally served as the guard of Jinhua and Wucheng.

Zhou Porridge has been very busy in the past month. Although he has found many former Ming officials from among the refugees, after a selection process, the available manpower is still not enough. He dare not promote those former Ming officials at will. It's not the rat shit that broke the pot of porridge, it will disturb the people's livelihood in Zhang Qiang's territory, cause the refugees to gather together to make trouble, and become bandits and bandits who resist Zhang Qiang's territory. Even without them, Zhang Qiang's territory is not peaceful. Highway bully.

Zhang Qiang has trained two batches of [-] volunteer elite soldiers in total. Except for the [-] elite firecracker soldiers, the other [-] elite soldiers of various arms have been distributed to the troops of each subordinate to exert their influence and improve their strength. Loyalty and combat effectiveness, the cohesion of the troops.

But this is far from enough. It will take some time for Zhang Qiang's troops to condense into a combat-capable force from a mess.

His main force has only increased from more than 1000 before to more than 3000. These are all soldiers trained by him, and the others are trained by his subordinates, or surrendered soldiers, who are attached to Zhang Qiang with a heart After platooning secretly, the total strength of his troops is no more than 5000, that is to say, his 7000 troops, in fact, only 5000 can display their combat effectiveness at critical moments, and the other soldiers can only fight with the wind. Like Nanming's army, it may collapse at the first touch.

Maybe these soldiers are more than enough to do some guarding work, but they can't go into battle to kill the enemy. Although they are still capable of fighting, they can only stand by the city if they want to face the Qing army.

Most of these soldiers are Zhang Qiang's 150 gunfire soldiers and [-] personal guard cavalry. As for the cavalry stationed in Wucheng, they should patrol and maintain local order. When Zhang Qiang's troops win the battle, they will pursue It's still okay, they can only turn around and run away in the decisive battle.

Just when Zhang Qiang was at a loss in the face of the current situation, Zhu Dayou walked in, coughed, and woke Zhang Qiang up, "My lord, someone said that he is an official of the Longwu Dynasty, and he is here to see you."

Zhang Qiang frowned, he didn't want to have a relationship with the Longwu court now, that meant he had to listen to others, what Longwu could ask him to do was definitely to lead his troops to rescue him.

But the problem is, there are several state capitals that are hundreds of kilometers in front of him. He can't fight all the way, so does he want his foundation in Jinhua?
