Lord of Ming Dynasty

Zhang Qiang waved his hand, "Tie up a boulder and throw it into a lake."

Yang Yangyang didn't show any expression, and continued: "For some reason, 20 soldiers who just finished eating also got sick."

Zhang Qiang frowned deeply, "Put it on a pack horse or vehicle, send people to the town to find a doctor, tie up the doctor's family, and follow the army for treatment."

After solving these problems, Zhang Qiang ordered the team to move forward.

Seeing the soreness of many people's legs and feet, he couldn't help wondering, could someone be making trouble secretly?

Right now, they can't go to investigate carefully, they can only urge the team to move forward.

The team lingered forward for ten miles, resting once, until noon, but after advancing for fifteen miles, mules and horses trampled and the carriage overturned from time to time, which made the team chaotic, and the progress became slower and slower.

In a place tens of miles away from this strong place, a large army is getting faster and faster. Fan Shaozu is sitting on the horse, watching the soldiers of the Qing army rushing past, and said to Ruan Jie beside him: "Mr. I once sent someone to investigate, is Zhu Yujian really in Pinghu?"

Ruan Jie said: "Someone from Gutian County came to report that the false Emperor Longwu was being taken to the army by a thousand Jinhua rebels. The humble officer heard the news and did not dare to be negligent. He rushed to report to the lord and speed up the march, so he joined the lord here. The humble officer I feel that the army should start from Daqiao Town, go east, climb over the mountain and intercept the Ming army at another intersection. According to my estimates, within a day, they will definitely be able to catch up with the false emperor Longwu and capture him in Beijing."

Fan Shaozu said: "But the Jinhua Rebel Army is powerful, and our army may be invincible."

Ruan Jie said: "My lord, the Jinhua rebel army is near Pingnan County. We only need to block the [-] rebels at the northern foothills. With tens of thousands of troops and the Portuguese musketeers, it should not be difficult."

Fan Shaozu said: "Okay, you immediately send cavalry to the east. You must stop them at the northern mountain pass and wait for my army to come. I will urge the army to join you in time. When the time comes, take down the false emperor Longwu and send him to Yanjing. I will be promoted to the governor, and I will definitely recommend you to be promoted to the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian."

"Thank you for your cultivation, my lord, I must be so humble that I will do my best for my lord." Ruan Jie said respectfully.

After Ruan Wu, Ruan Shu and others, he was a general of the Ming army who surrendered to Fan Shaozu again.

It's just that Ruan Wu and Ruan Shu, after being captured by Zhang Qiang, returned to the camp of Lu Jianguo, and he was disappointed with the camp of Lu Jianguo, so he voluntarily surrendered. The Qing Dynasty, which became more and more powerful and more and more stable, was finally eliminated.

Three thousand cavalry swept past the team like a hurricane, drawing curses and disappearing from Fan Shaozu's eyes.

At dusk, Zhang Qiang led the team to another Daqiao town, and the total marching distance was only more than 20 miles.

Zhang Qiang was very dissatisfied with this speed and urged to continue marching.

Xiao Yuanwai said to Zhang Qiang: "My lord, the family members are already exhausted. The soldiers are already exhausted after traveling all the way. Why don't you spend the night here and march again tomorrow?"

Zhang Qiang glared at him, ignored him, and shouted, "Speed ​​up, don't stop."

The team traveled another five miles, and it was already dark.

Member Xiao frowned, and rode a donkey to find Su Guansheng in the middle of the team, "Master Su, are you going to drive all night?"

Su Guansheng said: "Mr. Xiao, you should ask Zhang Zongbing about this. Everything is arranged by him."

Xiao Yuanwai whispered: "Can the emperor endure such exhaustion?"

Su Guansheng smiled. He didn't tell Xiao Yuanwai that when he escaped from Tingzhou Mansion, Zhu Yujian had endured more tiring things than this, eating and sleeping in the open, being frightened, attacked by evil wolves, and tigers howling at night in the forest. A dozen of them huddled together Trembling, if it wasn't for luck, if it wasn't for the guards around them who were desperate to protect them, they would have fed the wolves, been eaten by tigers, or caught and beheaded by Li Chengdong.

Seeing that Su Guansheng couldn't be persuaded, member Xiao said in a low voice, "My family is exhausted, and I sometimes have a fever. My lord, go talk to Mr. Zhang and let the team rest for a night before leaving."

Su Guansheng felt timid, and softened his heart, and said: "That's right, Mr. Xiao is a meritorious minister, but you can't let your family be burdened. I'll go and talk to the emperor to see if I can rest for a while. It's not safe to drive at night. "

Xiao Yuanwai nodded quickly, "Yes, yes." The two discussed the rest.

In Pingnan County, dozens of kilometers away, Tang Dianfeng and Gu Yuesheng were busy without nodding their heads.

After several days of trial and adjustment, Zhang Cunzhe's tens of thousands of Qing soldiers finally gathered together, blocked Zhang Qiang's army's retreat, and launched an attack on Pingnan County. The cavalry and Tanma sent out by Tang Dianfeng were either captured or driven back to the county. The strategic space was suppressed to the territory of Pingnan County, and then Zhang Cunzhe's infantry followed, occupying many intersections, and covering Pingnan County from three sides. surrounded.

Tang Dianfeng sent out two thousand young and strong rebels to guard the ferry, and another two thousand young and strong to guard the two mountain passes. At this time, these four thousand troops fought with Zhang Cunzhe's five or six thousand Qing soldiers from the green battalion, and the news was like running water. Tang Dianfeng.

"Beishan Pass fell, the Qing army occupied the ridge and blocked the exit, and Dongshan is fighting fiercely, asking for reinforcements."

Tang Dianfeng looked at Gu Yuesheng, "Brother Gu, I order you to lead one thousand infantry and two thousand captive soldiers. You must take Beishan and take these two mountain passes back to me."

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief." Gu Yuesheng is now guarding thousands of households, with the same rank as Yang Yangyang.

Tang Dianfeng watched Gu Yuesheng lead the troops away, but before he recovered his breath, a cavalryman ran to the foot of the city, "My lord, the ferry was attacked by more than 8000 Qing soldiers, and it is about to fall. My lord, please send troops to rescue them."

Tang Dianfeng sighed, why now, why not wait for the adults to come back?

He turned to the two hundred households and said, "You lead [-] cavalry, [-] infantry, [-] musketeers, and [-] captive soldiers to reinforce the ferry. You must not let the Qing soldiers cross the river."

"Yes, my lord."

After a while, "My lord, there are enemy horses on the mountain pass in the south. According to reports from the patrolling soldiers, more than [-] enemy troops will arrive in no time. May I ask my lord, should we retreat or stick to it?"

Tang Dianfeng supported the crenel on the city wall, "Hold on, I'll send someone to support you."

Turning back to a thousand households, he said, "Lead five hundred young men, three hundred rebels, and one thousand captive soldiers to defend the southern mountain pass."

One of his generals who also surrendered from the rebel army said: "My lord, it's better to shrink your troops and hold on with the strong city. The terrain here is dangerous. You can hold on until your lord comes back and let your lord make a decision."

Tang Dianfeng said angrily: "What do you know, my lord must come back from the west and south. If I retreat into the city now, is there any possibility for him to come back? There are not many troops around him. If he is blocked by the enemy outside the city, what can he do?" gone?"

He hit the battlements with his fists, "We must persist until the Lord returns, and we must not leave the Lord outside the city."

Chapter 1

Generally speaking, Tang Dianfeng is still very loyal to Zhang Qiang, the rebel force.

But his loyalty could not save the Jinhua Rebel Army. At this moment, because there are too many prisoners in the Jinhua Rebel Army, the combat effectiveness is actually very low.

The reason why he was able to persist was because he sent thousands of rebel troops. The rebels would not compromise with the Qing soldiers at once in their hearts. They still had the will to resist the Qing soldiers in their hearts. The behavior of the lowest bottom line in the heart is the reason why the young and strong rebels resisted the Qing army and fought to the death. For this reason, some passionate young people insisted on resisting the Qing army on the front line, and at the same time oppressed the captives to work hard and not kill the enemy , was killed by the rebel supervising team.

As cannon fodder, the captive soldiers could only be forced to fight. At least they could not get rid of the fate of being driven to death before seeing the obvious defeat of the rebel army.

Three places, all three places are fighting fiercely, and their opponents have only invested thousands of green battalion soldiers. , The army composed of hooligans, compared with the rebel army, does not have much high combat effectiveness, and the two sides are in a situation of equal proportions.

Tang Dianfeng could breathe a sigh of relief.

And in Daqiao Town, Zhang Qiang was furiously yelling at the ordinary servants and common people, because these guys didn't want to go any further, they were just dawdling.

Zhang Qiang tried his best, but let them move forward two miles, and the rest of them stopped moving forward.

This situation happened because Su Guansheng changed his previous attitude and suggested to Zhu Yujian to let the team rest.

Zhu Yujian fled alone before, it was the sound of wind and cranes, the grass and trees were full of soldiers, and his safety was not guaranteed, so he ran away non-stop. Once he was escorted, he still defeated the elite rebel troops of the Qing army with almost the same strength. Of course, he was also slack in his heart. Zhang Qiang, let Zhang Qiang stay overnight.

Despite Zhang Qiang's repeated statements, Emperor Longwu still hoped that Zhang Qiang could stay overnight.

Zhang Qiang had no choice but to order the troops to set up camp on the spot, and sent a cavalry squad of 50 people to Pingnan to convey the order, and asked Tang Dianfeng to send someone to respond.

In the middle of the night, inside Zhang Qiang's tent, Zhang Qiang and Yang Yangyang whispered to each other.

"Yang Yangyang, now we are surrounded by enemies on all sides. In the heartland of the enemy, we have to be cautious. You lead the cavalry out of the camp quietly tonight, disperse, and then lie in ambush on the small hill outside. Remember not to light the fire. Don't make any noise, and return to camp tomorrow morning."

"My lord, it should be the firecrackers who came out of the camp to ambush. The cavalry can use their mobility to quickly rush out of the enemy's encirclement, escape or attack the enemy."
