Chapter 720 The Manchurian Special Action Team
"This must be because the Tartars want to earn the Lord Shangshu!"
A group of Mongolian soldiers with rat-tailed braids with money, riding tall horses, complete armor and sharp arrows, said that they were the Taiping Army in Guangdong, who was willing to believe in the Zhejiang Army?
Since the Jiashen year, the Qing army went south, pretending to be Ming army to deceive the city and surrender, and this place is Yinghuoshan District, 108,000 miles away from Guangdong, and there are Qing troops near Zhou Zuo. He could not fly even if the Taiping Army had wings. Therefore, the Zhejiang Army did not believe that the other party was the Taiping Army, and Zhang Huangyan did not believe that it was the Taiping Army, and he ordered to ignore the other party, but did not order the rush, but wanted to see what the other party wanted to do.
The opponent did not respond, but the wooden picture of the Taiping Army Qianhu, who was ordered by the commander, led his subordinates from Raozhou Prefecture, Jiangxi Province, was confused. He thought that the information was wrong, and they were catching up with the Zhejiang Army's Zhejiang Army, the Minister of the Ming Dynasty's Minister of War, which the local Yishimin. If this is the case, it would be a big mistake. If the Minister of War and his Zhejiang Army could not save him, even if the General Wang did not settle the score with him after he returned, Wang Zhenjiang would probably want him to be nice.
Thinking of the temper of the town general nicknamed "Ma Yaozi", Mutu couldn't help but feel a little panicked. The town general is good in everything and has a better alcohol tolerance. The only bad thing is that he has a too big temper and it makes people scared when he gets angry.
Na Mutu's nephew grew up with him and surrendered to the Taiping Army in Huizhou. Erdemuni, who is now the chief banner, saw his uncle being stunned. The Ming army in front of him was silent, so he rushed forward with an officer beside him to check.
Mutu was still worried and shouted twice. The Ming army ahead still had no response. Seeing this, Mutu didn't want to waste time here, so he thought to turn back and catch some Qing soldiers and ask, so as not to ask the Qing army to capture it. However, it wouldn't be a big deal if they were captured. With the majesty of these Mongolian real Tartars, it was not a trivial matter to go from the Green Camp.
Just as Mutu was about to pull the horse back, Erdemuni said, "Uncle, I'm afraid the Zhejiang army doesn't believe us, why would Wang Baihu and I go over and talk to them?"
"past?"
The Mutu was stunned and looked at the Anjun envoy Wang Chongshan and asked him what he meant.
Wang Chongshan was originally a hereditary guard in Xuzhou. In the Jiashen year, the Qing army went south to Shandong. Liu Zeqing, the Dongping Body of the Ming Dynasty, did not dare to resist the Qing army, and led his subordinates to Huai'an. Wang Chongshan, who was only 16 years old at the time, also followed Liu Zeqing south with his father. Later, Liu Zeqing became the four towns in Jiangbei of the Hongguang Dynasty, but when the Qing army arrived, he immediately shaved his hair and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. Wang Chongshan's father was unwilling to lose his ancestors' clothes and shaved his head into an ugly yin and yang head, so he took Wang Chongshan south. On the way, he met the ceremonial guards of Shigemen on patrol, and then went into Yangzhou City with Shigemen.
Not long after entering Yangzhou, the Qing army in the north came to fight. Seeing that Yangzhou City became more and more dangerous and Shige's troops had no way to defend against the enemy, Wang Chongshan's father did not want his father and son to die in Yangzhou, so he asked Shangguan to ask Wang Chongshan to take out the city to buy grain. As a result, before Wang Chongshan's mission was completed, the bad news about Yangzhou came. More than 800,000 soldiers and civilians in the city were slaughtered by the Qing army. After crying at Yangzhou City, kowtowed three times, Wang Chongshan and his companions crossed the Yangtze River with wood, and in the following years, they served several different Ming troops.
However, seeing the Ming generals whom he surrendered to surrender to the Qing Dynasty one by one, and the Ming Dynasty emperors were captured and killed one by one, Wang Chongshan gradually became discouraged and became a soldier, and no longer had the passion for revenge for his father. In the second year of Yongli, Wang Chongshan simply followed Shangguan in Jiangxi and surrendered to Geng Zhongming, the King of Jingnan of the Qing court. Later, he married a wife in Guangzhou and gave birth to a pair of children, and lived a comfortable life. Although his father's revenge was not revenged, he thought that he would pass on the blood of the Wang family, and that he could be worthy of his father. Besides, the general trend of the world has returned to the Qing Dynasty, and Wang Chongshan alone can cause any storm. Everyone surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and knew the general trend, and he must hold hatred to death. This person always has to live. Wang Chongshan comforted himself like this.
After the Taiping Army invaded Guangzhou the year before yesterday, Wang Chongshan, who had relatives in Guangzhou, secretly ran out of the barracks and fled back to Guangzhou that night after hearing the news. He thought he could be a commoner from now on, but the Taiping Army reorganized the Han army who fled back and coerced them to work hard with their families. During the Battle of Chaohui, in order to survive and to prevent Guangzhou's wife and children from being massacred by the Qing army, Wang Chongshan fought very hard and made some military achievements and promoted it to the general flag. When he saw that the princes of the Qing Dynasty were defeated, so many Manzhou and Mongolian Tartars surrendered to the Taiping Army, Wang Chongshan's already silent heart of revenge was ignited again because he saw the hope of revenge.
After the Battle of Chaohui, Wang Chongshan followed the army to Guangxi, entered Hunan, and accumulated merits to hundreds of households. He is now the military commander of the Armies of the Cavalry Brigade in Xinyi Town. Erdemuni suggested to talk to the Ming army, and Wang Chongshan also thought that he should ask clearly so that he would not miss the match with Zhang Shangshu. Mutu thought about it and agreed, so Wang Chongshan and Erdemuni removed their armor clothes and weapons, and walked towards the hillside ahead with bare hands.
"Don't shoot arrows. We are indeed Taiping Army. We will come to pick up Shangshu Zhang at the order of our general!" Wang Chongshan and Erdemuni walked forward, raising their hands and shouting loudly.
I thought the Qing army would attack if it failed to coax it, but I didn't expect that the other party sent people over and claimed that they were really the Taiping Army of Guangdong. At this moment, the Zhejiang army was confused. Zhang Huangyan was also surprised and ordered people to be brought over to see what these Mongolian Tartar gourds sold.
Wang Chongshan did not know Zhang Huangyan, but saw several Ming army generals surrounded a middle-aged man who looked like a scholar. Thinking of the above-mentioned appearance of Zhang Shangshu, he realized his mind and hurriedly pulled Erdemuni forward and said, "The last general, Wang Chongshan, a hundred households of Taiping Army (Erdemuni) has met Lord Shangshu!"
The two Qing army officers bowed to him without saying a word. Zhang Huangyan was really shocked, and it was neither right to accept nor not to accept.
"You are really Taiping Army?"
Guo Feiguang, Wei Dalong and other Zhejiang generals also opened their mouths, and they all felt incredible: Could these Mongolian cavalry be really Taiping Army?
"This is a handwritten letter from my boss to Lord Shangshu. I also have my waist signs presented. Please check the authenticity of the Lord Shangshu!"
Wang Chongshan knew that Zhang Shangshu and the others could not believe them, so he and Erdemuni presented their handwritten letter to the generals of the Mutu. In addition, they took off their hats and showed them their newly shaved heads to the Zhejiang generals to show that they were shaved their heads recently.
Guo Faguang was worried that the two of them would be able to find Shangshu, so he took the letter and waist card for Shangshu. The letter was given to Shangshu, and the waist card was held in his hand to check it, but after looking at it, he couldn't verify the authenticity, because the waist card was different from the Zhejiang Army.
Zhang Huangyan picked up the sealed letter and saw the words "Duke of the Ming Dynasty and the Grand Governor Zhou" printed on it. He was stunned and immediately tore open the envelope and looked at it.
The letter was indeed Zhou Shixiang. It said that Zhou Shixiang had led the Taiping Army to capture the entire province of Jiangxi. He heard that the Zhejiang Army and the Minister of War Zhang were active in the left area of Jiangnan. He was worried that the Zhejiang Army would be besieged by the Qing army and that the Minister of the Shangshu would be in danger, so he specially sent his Manchu and Mongolian troops to dress up in Qing army to come to pick him up.
After reading the letter, Zhang Huangyan was half-believing and half-doubted, looking up and down at Wang Chongshan and Erdemuni. Erdemuni had a big cake and round face unique to the Mongolian Tartars, while Wang Chongshan was no different from the Han people.
Zhang Huangyan pondered slightly and asked Erdemuni: "Are you a Mongolian Tartar?"
"Reply to the words of Shangshu Zhang, I used to be a Mongolian Tartar, but now I am not," Erdemuni raised his neck and said proudly: "I am a Han Chinese now, and my name is Guo Mude."
Zhang Huangyan was stunned and raised his hand to point to the Qing cavalry in the distance: "Those are Mongolians and are the same as you?" Lord Shangshu originally wanted to say that those are Mongolian Tartars, but if these Mongolian soldiers were like Guo Mude, they were all Taiping Army and regarded themselves as Han people, it would be inappropriate to call them by Tartars.
"Yes, we are the cavalry of the Taiping Army." Erdemuni nodded violently and said heavily, "The cavalry of the Han people!"
Wang Chongshan also said beside him: "Sir Shangshu doesn't know that there are many surrendered soldiers from Manzhou and Mongolia in our Taiping Army. They are now all accustomed to Chinese characters, speak Chinese dialect, and use Chinese names. They are no longer Tartars."
The generals of the Zhejiang Army were stunned when they heard this. If you want to say this, are those Mongolian soldiers really Taiping Army?!
After hearing what Wang Chongshan said, Zhang Huangyan remembered that last year, Prince Jian of the Qing Dynasty, Jidu, led a large army to Guangdong to attack the Taiping Army, but was defeated by Zhou Shixiang in Huizhou. It seems that these Mongolian cavalrymen who surrendered were the Mongolian army flags that followed Jidu to the south.
Wang Chongshan was afraid that the Zhejiang Army and Zhang Shangshu would not believe them, so he said, "If Lord Shangshu doesn't believe it, I will let all my brothers get rid of their armor. In this way, Lord Shangshu will always believe us, right?"
Zhang Huangyan and Guo Faguang and others discussed it and felt that this matter was probably true, but in case of precautions, the cavalry would still be allowed to unarm the enemy. If the other party was really a Taiping Army, then there would be no problem. If it was fake, how could he dare to send his life to the Zhejiang Army without any hand?
Zhang Huangyan agreed to Wang Chongshan's request. Wang Chongshan asked Erdemuni to stay. When he went back to talk to Na Mutu, he heard that the Shangshu was really here. Na Mutu was very happy and ordered the soldiers to dismount. Except for some people guarding the horses, everyone else took off their weapons and went to see the Shangshu. At this moment, Zhang Huangyan and the Zhejiang Army believed it, and they all breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, they were glad and excited that the Taiping Army could handle them.
Zhang Huangyan asked Wei Dalong to inform Xu Yungeng and the others quickly. Then he happily took Mutu's hand and asked him, "How did you know I'm here?"
Na Mutu smiled and said, "Sir Shangshu doesn't know that we are the Manchurian-Mongolian Special Operations Team. Our team's mission is to specifically respond to Shangshu Zhang and the brothers of Zhejiang Army."
"Manchuria and Mongolian Special Operations Team?"
This very strange name made Zhang Huangyan and the Zhejiang generals confused.
Zhang Huangyan said in confusion: "What is the Manchuria and Mongolian Special Operations Team?"
Na Mutu smiled and said, "We were all Manchu and Mongolian Tartars in the past, and now we used this identity to sneak into Jiangnan left to move. Therefore, the general said that we were the sharp swords that penetrated deep behind the enemy, so we called it the Manchu and Mongolian Special Operations Team."
