Wang Pu in the late Ming Dynasty
Chapter 26
"Hmph, a fanatic who doesn't know the height of the sky. Attack the city early tomorrow morning, take Jizhou, so that he can't withdraw to the capital by water, Dolgon, you take the white flag to cross the river south and capture Yutian, and send scouts to patrol along the river bank to prevent it from fleeing south. Cast a net on me to destroy this madman. Huang Taiji sneered, his eyes murderous.
But said that Zheng Ya'er
was getting farther away from the Shenjia Battalion, and his mind was unconsciously lively, at the beginning he was effectively loyal to Wang Pu's heart, and the momentum of the Shenjia Battalion soldiers who despised the Jurchen warriors was really shocking, and the gods he had been extremely fearful of since he was sensible turned out to be a god-killing nemesis, but in the past few days with Huang Dahu, Zheng Ya'er was terrified, this old man had self-confidence that did not match his ability, and at first he could make people unpredictable, but after he observed for a long time, he found that it was just a false appearance, this old man did not have the ability to lead troops, and his 100-odd people were sparse and lax in the march, and the deserters appeared one after another and were even more helpless, from which it can be seen that this strange old man who likes to command is just a waste.
Zheng Ya'er even thought that the general of the Shenjia battalion was afraid of this waste, which showed that he was not favored in front of the Nanban Emperor, and the general who could lead the troops was suspicious. He thought about it, and finally made up his mind to return to the Jin Kingdom, which had a wise Shenwu Great Khan.
Zheng Ya'er first found an opportunity to kill a personal soldier sent out by Huang Dahu to explore the way, seized the horses, and then sent someone to pretend to be a Jin soldier scout, followed from afar, where to see the truth in the haze, and when the people's hearts were floating, he shouted: Jin Bing is coming, run away. even pretended to take the lead in escaping, and the hundred-person team suddenly dispersed, and they all ran wildly without hesitation. When everyone escaped, he came back with his subordinates, and more than 30 people besieged the other four personal soldiers and beheaded them, and Huang Dahu became a prisoner in a daze.
On December 3, the Shenjia battalion built a slender earthen fort on this fritter-shaped island, which was about sixty paces long and only ten paces wide, and the walls were only one man high. In view of the abundance of grain and grass, Wang Pu ordered the rice to be boiled and mixed with mud, and it is said that the earthen fort made of this ancient concrete was very strong, and the principle was that cooked rice would become unusually hard when dried, but unfortunately there was no glutinous rice, otherwise the effect would be better.
When there was a captive scout on the east bank, at the beginning of the distance, I thought it was the Ming army that did not receive it at night, Wang Pu sent his own soldiers to shake the boat
to pass the word, the fine cavalry took a bow and shot two arrows in a row, and shot the two personal soldiers on the boat, so that Wang Pu was not distressed, he really did not expect that the captive scouts would haunt the east coast, and naively thought that there was another Qinwang soldier and horse from the south, and secretly regretted that he should not be so careless, so it seems that Huang Taiji has judged the approximate location of the Shenjia battalion, and it came so quickly.
After that, the scouts of the captives gathered more and more, and relied on the shore to watch, which means that the army of the captives is coming, Wang Pu muttered that the wood is not enough, if it is besieged for a long time, it will be troublesome, there is no wood to burn the fire, and the night is very cold, not to mention the cold and strong wind on the river.
The next day, a large number of ships appeared in the north down the water, Wang Pu thought it was an enemy attack, and was wondering where the captives found so many ships, but saw that there were several warships, and the men and horses on the ships looked like a group of officials. The boats on the river all turned a blind eye to the earthen fort of the Shenjia Battalion and drifted downstream.
The east bank of the forest birds, there is a large army suddenly appeared, because the trees on the shore have been cut down, the timber is transported to the island to split into firewood, at this time the view on the shore is relatively broad, Wang Pu noticed that the enemy's flag has red, yellow, white, blue several colors, it seems that the army of Huang Taiji is really coming, at least four flags of the eight flags, because the distance is far away, the difference between the inlaid can not be separated for the time being.
"This guy is a river wolf, and he makes a nest in the middle of the river, so we will attack it with water, and store water upstream, and wash away his little earthen fort. Mang Gurtai scoffed.
"Ming General Wang Pu is not so stupid, the terrain here is not good for water storage. Dorgon retorted.
"That's not easy, raise the dikes on both sides of the bank to raise the water level, Dolgon, you are too young to see a big scene. Mang Gurtai replied, faintly smelling of gunpowder.
"Water attack is a method, but it is too time-consuming and laborious, only a thousand Ming troops, and it is used to kill chickens with knives. Huang Taiji sneered confidently, he really can't wait to chop Wang Pu Xiao'er to pieces, in order to vent the hatred in his heart, last year the Jin country almost had no harvest, this time the first thing to rob the Ming country of grain, gold and silver property is second, if you can't grab enough food, the Jin country will immediately have a great famine, and even Yi Zi cannibalism. In order to maintain the myth that the Jin soldiers are invincible, Wang Pu must be killed at all costs, Jizhou City is in the upper reaches of the river, which can provide shelter for the Shenjia battalion in the downstream, in order to avoid Wang Pu seeking an opportunity to escape by boat, he only ordered to attack Jizhou, in order to capture this strong city, he lost more than 1,000 gold warriors, and this blood debt should naturally be counted on Wang Pu's head.
There is a
Xing Hongniang in Dingxiang County, Shanxi, who has followed her father to make a living by selling art since she was a child, the daughter of a poor family can work hard, and unconsciously practiced a body of martial arts, and when she grows up, her body is out of shape, the two lumps of flesh on her chest are violently long, her long legs are straight and strong, and she is matched with a pair of fox eyes, like a thousand-year-old fox.
Sage Cloud: Only villains and women are difficult to raise. If a woman can't get married, she will have resentment, especially a woman with strong martial arts will turn her resentment into destructive force and become a thief. In these troubled times, there are many anti-thieves, and Xing Hongniang's anti-thieves are not conspicuous, the number is only more than 100, and she belongs to a small role that cannot be on the list of the imperial court. It's just that after all, women are soft-hearted, they usually don't harm the people, and occasionally they can get rid of violence and peace, and gradually they have some fame, and the people call them Little Red Lady.
Since the Jin soldiers entered the Kou, the Shanxi area has been rumored and the people are panicking, and they all say that after the capture of the Kou Kou to break through the Beijing Division, they will jointly invade Shanxi, imitating the ancient Liao State to steal the hometown of Yanyun of the Han family. In this panicked atmosphere of three times a day, Shanxi governor Geng Ruqi and general soldier Zhang Honggong reluctantly gathered an elite force of several thousand people hesitated, hesitated and did not dare to march eastward.
The so-called night long dream, Shanxi Qinwang soldiers and horses on the way and heard that the Jiliao Governor Yuan Chonghuan was imprisoned, where do ordinary soldiers know the whole picture of the matter, only said that the emperor was deaf, and actually put the general of King Qinwang in prison without asking the reason, so he was even more complaining, thinking that he was going to die violently in the field, which is not enough, where is the value of human life in troubled times, but looking at the emperor's various actions, most of them can not get half a penny pension when they die, and their hearts are becoming more and more resentful, and military discipline is becoming more and more unbearable.
The warriors
of the Ming Dynasty have always been regarded as untouchables, and it is the common sense that the noble and the martial arts are unchangeable, even when they arrive at the Beijing Division, the bureaucrats and doctors along the way still refuse to treat the warriors a little kindly, they are like a thief-like embankment, and now they suddenly grasped the mistake, and vowed to join hands to give this thief-brave military horse a little color.
According to the
military system of the Ming Dynasty, the army was not allowed to distribute food on the day it arrived at the station, and the original intention of this regulation was to prevent the soldiers from grinding on the way, and if the march was too slow, they would be hungry all day long when they arrived on the second day. And it is also inappropriate for soldiers and horses to enter the city in broad daylight to disturb the people, this military system is very reasonable, but the civilian officials are exquisite, and they are stunned to play tricks, and it has become one of the yin and bad moves to rectify the generals.
Shanxi general Zhang Honggong's 5,000 Jin army and
Shanxi governor Geng Ruqi's more than 3,000 Fubiao battalion were first transferred to defend Tongzhou City in Shuntianfu, Zhang Honggong can be regarded as a conscientious duty, not to mention the rapid march to Tongzhou City, that day did not give food and transferred to Changping, Zhang Honggong and others rushed to Changping with hungry eyes, or did not give food and adjusted to defend Liangxiang, the mud people still have three points of anger, not to mention these already unruly, blood on the knife edge of the soldiers, the army is floating, dissatisfied, and by the officials like monkeys to find fun, provoked by the sudden mutiny。
Chongzhen, the faint monarch, was worthy of his name, and he couldn't help but order the execution of Zhang Honggong and Geng Ruqi, and the mutinous soldiers were all completely desperate for the imperial court, and the eight thousand elites scattered in a hurry and fled back to Shanxi.
"Although we are rebels, we are not thieves. Little Banner Luo Luosheng threw a branch at the bonfire, and the flickering flames illuminated his stubborn face.
"Aren't rebels thieves, and there can be a difference. President Bai Chen Quanen sneered and mocked.
"Rebels don't harm the people, of course it's different from thieves, the emperor can't help it, so we have to make a mess, and if you are a thief, you can't do it without your ancestors. Luo Luosheng argued.
"Then you haven't robbed the people of a sack of rice. Chen Quanen teased.
Luo Luosheng opened his mouth to argue, but he was speechless, sighed dejectedly, and bowed his head aggrievedly.
"Xiao Luo is right, there are good and bad thieves, I heard that there is a little matchmaker in Qi County, there is no harm to the people, and the reputation is very good. "Xiao Qi Ge Shangjing is the oldest in the bonfire circle, and he doesn't want to do evil, just to live.
"Then we'll go to the little matchmaker. Someone immediately proposed, and everyone agreed.
"I want to go to the Shenjia Battalion, I heard that General Wang Pu is a good general who is good at military affairs, and he may be able to make achievements under him. Only Luo Luosheng still refused to surrender to the thief.
"You have to go back to be an official soldier, we will be opposites in the future, come and have a drink, this is the last time our brothers will get together, and one day we will meet and fight on the battlefield. Chen Quanen raised his glass and toasted.
"Pull it down, the Shenjia battalion
will be wiped out sooner or later, the people who escaped from Jizhou City said clearly, the Shenjia battalion was trapped on an island in the Nanhe River, I heard that those guys killed a Tartar nobleman, the Tartars chased all the way to Jizhou, who dared to take in Wang Pu at this time, Jizhou is closer to the disaster from the sky, who dares to touch this mold again, in the face of hundreds of thousands of Tartar soldiers, the Shenjia battalion is finished. Xiao Luo, you still go with us to vote for the little red lady, I heard that the little red lady is a yellow flower girl, looking at your good looks, I can't say that I will fall in love with you at that time. Ge Shangjing's words caused everyone to laugh.
Hearing this, Luo Luosheng was a little moved, the rumors in the market are very bizarre and strange, some say that the little red lady is a fox demon descended into the world, can cast demon magic to take people's hearts, and specializes in fascinating men for him to drive. It is also said that fairies from all over the world came to the world to save the suffering. Of course, Luo Luosheng has read books and is sensible, and he will not believe this kind of stupid nonsense. No wind or waves, no roots and no grass, no matter how bizarre the rumors are, there is no version of the ugly appearance of the little matchmaker, it can be seen that the appearance of this strange woman must be extraordinary, can make people fascinated, and it is not surprising to be shocked.
"The Shenjia Battalion may really be over, even if it is not finished for the time being, there is such an emperor, sooner or later, hey. Luo Luosheng said to himself, he finally decided to temporarily defect to Xiaohongniang, this woman can be the leader of the thief army, she must have her superiority, otherwise it will not be enough to convince the public. Everyone is curious, and a beautiful and powerful female leader is quite fresh.
Wang Pu looked at the ships that the captives in the distance got from nowhere, and secretly complained to himself: "Pig teammates, the boats don't pay attention to it, they have been captured so much by the captives who only have the army." "At a glance, those are all big ships with sails, and the Shenjia Battalion currently has only fifteen small boats without sails, all driven by oars and poles, and the strength of the two sides is very different, and the supply line of river transportation cannot be counted on, and has been cut off.
"Eighty percent of Jizhou City has been breached, most of those ships are cargo ships, and only Jizhou has a wharf near here that can berth so many cargo ships. Two days ago, there were people on the boat wearing official robes, most of whom were officials and family members who had escaped from Jizhou City. Lin Changxing reminded on the side.
"The camp of the
captives has been working day and night, but a lot of things have been made, and the island will be attacked in about a day or two, if there are reinforcements from King Qin nearby, it is better to send someone to contact us, we have the emperor's secret edict in our hands, and we can send reinforcements from all over the country to contain the enemy in the periphery. Liu Yishan proposed.
"How can we send people to spread the news like this, it is estimated that the imperial court may not know that we are here. Lin Changxing whispered in frustration, these words were easy to shake the hearts of the army, so he couldn't let the soldiers hear it.
"It's okay, although the supplies can't be delivered, but the news can still be unimpeded, the river is cold, they won't stay long before they have to go back to the shore to warm up, and they can rush out to deliver the message when the time comes for the change of guard. Wang Pu smiled confidently: "Our cellar is almost finished, ask the soldiers to dig the cellar deeper, and they are not afraid of winter." "
