Lord of Ming Dynasty

He already knew Zhang Cunzhe, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, he should be Zhang Cunren, but Zhang Qiang was used to calling him in a scout report, so he always used the name of Zhang Cunzhe to call the governor. The Qing soldiers led by this man are said to have more than 3 troops People, together with the nearby Qing soldiers and some anti-Ming country gentry servants and tenants, the country's courageous troops reached almost [-] troops.

It is equal to the strength of his previous troops in Pingnan County.

After defeating Ruan Jie's cavalry, Zhang Qiang knew that there was a 5000-man Qing army under the leadership of his old opponent, Fan Shaozu, who detoured from Wenzhou Prefecture. At that time, he was in another Changqiao Town. At this moment, count the time , I am afraid that they have already arrived near Pingnan County, or have joined the army of Zhang Cunren, Governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, and launched an attack on Pingnan County.

This time, Liu Liangzuo, the defeated general, followed him with seven thousand soldiers.

Now, the enemy once again besieged him with a force several times his own. Think about it, at this moment, the main force of the Qing army should be attacking the Yongli regime in Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Guangzhou and other places, and the original Ming army was the main force. The Lord's Qing soldiers launched an attack on his own rebel army. When they fought against the Qing soldiers, these Ming soldiers were not so brave. The Ming army changed its skin and played a stronger rhythm than the Ming army. It is said that people on the land of China are fickle.

Just like a mad dog, biting himself and not letting him go, it won't work once, twice, three times, why do you work so hard.

"Speed ​​up and break into Pingnan County before the enemy encircles." Zhang Qiang said to the generals.

On one side, Emperor Longwu looked at Zhang Qiang and said, "Aiqing, why don't we go back to Jinhua instead, we don't have to go to Pingnan County, I believe General Tang can understand our painstaking efforts."

He Kai said: "Yes, Commander Zhang Qiang, the most important thing is to protect the emperor now."

Su Guansheng remained silent, looking up at the sky, wondering what he was thinking.

Zhang Qiang knew that if these people were himself, he would definitely plan for himself. He knew that the front was also destined to be surrounded by the enemy, so why did he take the initiative to jump in?

But here and now, standing here, Zhang Qiang had to think about his own army. If he was defeated this time, what if he returned to the Taizhou government?

In Pingnan County, there are 1000 elite infantry trained by ourselves, [-] elite musketeers, and more than [-] garrison troops in other places, for a total of [-] elite troops.

With [-] to [-] captive soldiers, plus the young and strong rebels in the county, there are about [-] people. This is already the strength I can use in my peak period.

This battle is defeated, and those captive soldiers will return to the enemy, and the enemy's force will increase to 10 to 1, to [-]. In comparison, the combined strength of my two prefectures is only more than [-]. resistance?

It will definitely destroy the foundation that he has just stabilized.

So this time we must hit the enemy hard, even if we can't win, we can't make the enemy feel better.

"The whole army advances," Zhang Qiang gave the order coldly.

Zhu Yujian and the others have nothing to do, they are just a few pitiful people, they can't do anything with Zhang Qiang who now has [-] troops in his hand, these troops are not the original Ming's army, even if it is divided and disintegrated, they can't do anything with these people In the beginning, they were all trained and promoted by Zhang Qiang. There was no official of the Ming Dynasty in history. The generals of the Ming Dynasty were here. They didn't have the emperor in their hearts, only their lord, the governor.

Walking in the front, Zhang Qiang said to Yang Yangyang beside him: "Send someone to bring a letter to He Jin and Mi Chun, asking them to send troops to attack the enemy's rear county. Give me the prefecture's chaos."

Yang Yangyang said: "I will be an adult."

Gu Yuesheng said: "My lord, according to the itinerary, we might encounter the enemy in Daxi Town. The enemy has more than 1 troops and [-] Portuguese. It's not easy to fight."

Zhang Qiang thought for a while, "Stagger, we enter the city and rely on the city to defend."

In the distance, across a river, several small rivers, and several mountain peaks, Fan Shaozu yelled to the generals around him: "Hurry up, hurry up, speed up, and we must stop the enemy. They don't have many troops. There are more than 1000 people. Fighting There are more than 300 people left, the key is where is the Emperor of Ming, catch them, first catch the Emperor of Ming, they will be promoted to three ranks, rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver, those who catch the enemy's chief general, promoted to one rank, rewarded with one thousand taels of silver .”

Hearing Fan Shaozu's words, the nearby Qing soldiers immediately swept away their previous exhaustion and ran up, their faces flushed with excitement, all kinds of foul-mouthed shouts and curses echoed in the mountains and over the stream.

Approaching, approaching, Zhang Qiang's troops are constantly approaching Daxi Town, and Fan Shaozu's troops are also constantly approaching Daxi Town.

In Daxi Town, there is also a Qing army stationed who just defeated the ferry and went out of the city to reinforce the army. This army of 3000 troops organized by the local Ming Dynasty landlords and gentry, led by a Ming army guerrilla general, is doing Preparations for the siege of Pingnan County.

Chapter 1 City Gate Blocking

In Pingnan County, on the city wall, the captive soldiers were guarded by the rebels and the young and strong, and the city wall was reinforced. The [-] captive soldiers were guarded by the [-] rebels and the Jinhua rebels, ready to meet the enemy's attack at any time.

On a steep mountain peak in Dongshan, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian and a group of descended generals from the Ming army are observing the city of Pingnan County, which is preparing for the battle.

In his hand is a copper monocular used on the Dutch warship given to him by the Dutch Governor Kui Yi.

Standing beside him are more than a dozen surrendered generals from the Ming Dynasty. These people were all single-handedly picked up by Boluo. After Boluo was defeated and retreated to Hangzhou, the remaining officials and generals were accepted by him, but only some of them, and some of them were Some of the officials and generals under him are all the original generals and officials of the Ming Dynasty, but at the moment they are doing their best to encircle and suppress the rebel troops of the Ming Dynasty.

These people include Cao Cunxing, the admiral of the career meeting, Li Yingzong, Yu Yongshou, Zhang Yingmeng, He Yinchang, Fan Shaozu, Wang Zhigang, Su Jianle, Feng Yong, etc., and Zhang Tianlu, the commander-in-chief of Ningchi in Qinghui, led the general army of Ningguo. Hu Maozhen, Chizhou General Soldier Yu Yongshou, Huizhou General Soldier Li Zhongxing, Wucai General Soldier Bu Congshan and others can be described as a wealth of talents.

Among them, Hu Maozhen, the commander-in-chief of the Ning State, was also the culprit of Huang Daozhou, a scholar of the cabinet who captured the Longwu court. Huang Daozhou was killed in Nanjing in [-] by Hong Chengchou who persuaded him to surrender.

Huang Daozhou is the old man of Donglin, one of the veterans and founders of the Donglin Party. He is a master in literature and philosophy. He led the rebel army to attack and rescue Jin Sheng's rebel army, but was captured by Zhang Tianlu's Qing soldiers and sent to Nanjing to be killed. .

"Master Zhang, how do you see how the city of Pingnan County is broken?" He put down his binoculars and turned to ask Zhang Tianlu.

Zhang Tianlu said: "Your Excellency, you can send troops to attack the city day and night. The enemy's troops are too few. According to the confessions of the captured enemies, most of our soldiers in the city were captured by the enemy. In fact, the total strength of our army is only ten thousand or several thousand. As long as we If we can put too much pressure on the enemy, and they cannot suppress the captured soldiers of our army, we can open the city gate, rush in, and drown the enemy with the superior strength of our army."

Zhang Cunren stroked his beard and looked into the distance, "It's just that in this way, the loss of troops may be more serious. Losing too many troops is not good for us."

On the one hand, Hu Maozhen said: "My lord, why don't you wait, I heard that Fan Shaozu, the commander-in-chief of the Ming army that Master Tong surrendered, has led more than [-] troops from Wenzhou overnight, and Liu Liangzuo from Yanping Mansion. The Yanping Mansion is coming, when the time comes, we will let them each take one side, and our army will attack the other side, so that our army will not suffer much loss, and the other two troops will certainly not suffer much loss, and they can also share the pressure for our army. Happy?"

Zhang Tianlu and Zhang Cunren looked at each other, and laughed at the same time. The admirals and soldiers around him also laughed together. Everyone understood that the Ming army always did this, even if they sacrificed their lives for the Tartars. Can't change this habit.

"Then wait." After laughing, Zhang Cunren stroked his beard and set the policy for the battle.

However, Zhang Qiang will not wait with them.

"Cavalry assault," Zhang Qiang shouted to the three thousand Qing soldiers gathered outside Daxi Town.

Yang Yangyang led 550 cavalrymen to rush out of the woods like a storm. Before the enemy could react, they rushed into the enemy's position and rushed into Daxi Town.

The three thousand Qing soldiers who were unprepared, or rather unprepared, suddenly fell into a mess, crying for their father and mother, unable to resist at all.

Later, Gu Yuesheng led more than 800 gunners to attack all the way.

Zhang Qiang led the rest of the people to cover the supplies and luggage, horses, and prisoners, and moved forward slowly.

But five miles away, Fan Shaozu's army was still advancing rapidly.

"It's gone in."

"The enemy is defeated."

"Fast through Daxi Town."

The army did not stop, and followed behind the gunfire soldiers.

It took less than an hour to pass through Daxi Town, and at this time, the infantry rushed by Fan Shaozu arrived at Daxi Town.

The distance between the two sides has narrowed to less than two miles.

A Qing soldier waved a long sword, "Pursuit, don't let the enemy into the city."

The cavalry spared the enemy's rout and came to the back of the team to cover the team's advance.

Fan Shaozu rode on the horse, grabbed the whip, pointed at the cavalry of Zhang Qiang's rear army and said: "The cavalry go up to intercept and entangle them, and the infantry catch up as soon as possible, outflanking them."

As a result, in addition to the [-] cavalry who opened the way to attack, the [-] cavalry fought with the remaining cavalry of the enemy, blocking the enemy's attack layer by layer.

In half an hour, the enemy had already launched an attack formation, with two thousand infantry on each flank outflanking, and the enemy cavalry behind them engaged the cavalry at a distance of less than one mile.

The enemy's infantry ran forward and quickly pursued Zhang Qiang's rebel troops.
