Zhang Shenwu's men and horses were elusive, coming and going like the wind. When Jiannu gathered heavy troops to deal with the Ming army, the Ming army retreated to the mountains. When Jiannu went into the mountains to search for Su Ming's army, another place was soon massacred.
800 warriors fought guerrillas in Tieling and Kaiyuan. In the past six months, the Jiannu slaves were afraid of Zhang Shenwu. They raised one banner and did not dare to enter the mountains to encircle and suppress him. They raised two banners and could not find Zhang Shenwu.
They discovered that using flags as units to suppress Zhang Shenwu was only to deliver food, equipment, heads, and war horses to them.
If the two flags are combined for suppression, Zhang Shenwu will lead him around the hills and mountains, just like walking a dog.
The cost of deploying more banners to join the encirclement and suppression campaign is too high. Not only will the accumulated food be used up, but without the eight banners to guard other places, a large number of soldiers will flee.
A large number of Eight Banners soldiers could not find Zhang Shenwu, and a small group of Jiannu slaves could not defeat Zhang Shenwu. They had to give up farming in Kaiyuan and Tieling.
Therefore, in Tieling and Kaiyuan areas, the Jian slaves did not farm. Zhenglan Banner and Xianghong Banner here could only use it as pasture and did not dare to enter the mountains.
There are still Han people in the mountains supporting them in the Kaiyuan area. Although there are only a few dozen households left, some people are willing to help. There are even remnants of the Haixi Jurchens and a small Mongolian tribe who are mortal enemies of Kormi, secretly trading with them.
Wild birds such as pheasants, wild ducks and various finches can be seen everywhere. In the eastern mountainous areas, there are also wild fruits and medicinal materials such as mountain reds, hazelnuts, mushrooms, mountain vegetables and so on.
There was certainly no shortage of meat, wild vegetables, and delicacies from the mountains, but food was difficult to trade, and the people around who could be traded were not good at farming. Robbery of slaves became the main source of food for the 800 people.
This is why Zhang Shenwu didn't send anyone to contact more men, because they could only fight guerrillas in the mountains, and food became a big problem as the population increased.
Fortunately, Wang Huazhen was eager to give it a try and had been actively contacting his troops.
In a short period of time, Zhang Shenwu gained a foothold behind enemy lines.
...
The second brother continued to fight in Liaodong.
The other soldiers and horses who fought in the Hunhe River battle have not forgotten the life and death experience at that time.
Shi Zhu contacted me again.
Qin Liangyu was the wife of Ma Qiancheng, Shizhu's Xuanwei envoy in the Ming Dynasty. After her husband's death, Qin Liangyu inherited his official position as chieftain.
In history, the Qin family fought in the north and south, fighting large and small, hundreds of battles.
Bozhou destroyed Yang Yinglong, Hunhe fought against Nurhachi, Sichuan and Guizhou fought against the She'an Rebellion, went north to fight Huang Taiji to rescue the capital, fought against Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng fought dozens of times...
Countless family members and stone pillar warriors died.
In this life, with Wang Hongyu's arrangement, the Shizhu chieftains represented by Qin Liangyu have joined Wang Hongyu's command. Presumably, except for the deceased Ma Xianglin and Qin Bangping who died in the Hunhe River, they will not make as big a sacrifice as they did in the previous life.
Now Qin Minping, Qin Ling, Zhang Mingshi, and Zhao Hannian have become Wang Hongyu's team. With the full support of chieftain Qin Liangyu and the active cooperation of the next generation of the Qin and Ma families, the Qin and Ma families must be at the level of pioneers in the future.
exist.
Ma Xianglin knew that Wang Hongyu was training troops in Yunyang, so he sent Qin Bangping's two sons, Qin Yiming and Qin Gongming, to Yunyang with a hundred people to join them. They were Qin Bangping's sons and they wanted to inherit their father's legacy and serve the country.
Wang Hongyu, Qin Minping, and Qin Ling communicated with them and learned that Ma Xianglin, Zhang Fengyi and his wife were recruiting more Shizhu soldiers. Excluding the Shizhu soldiers who joined the Hunhe Army and those who stayed in Shanhaiguan, Shizhu could still recruit 2,000 Shizhu soldiers to participate in the counterinsurgency.
Qin Minping's two sons, Qin Zuomin and Qin Zuomin, have grown up and have also participated in the recruit training and will join the Hunhe Army in the future. Qin Ling's nephew Qin Limin also participated in the training and said he would follow his aunt in a career.
After Shizhu, Youyang also contacted me.
Ran Yuelong, the chieftain of Youyang, who was recuperating from his injuries in his hometown, sent a message to Ma Xianglin: They already knew that She Chongming was going to rebel. He had trained 2,000 chieftain soldiers and prepared to work with the Hunhe Army and Shizhu soldiers to deal with She Chongming.
Although the Youyang chieftain soldiers are not as powerful as the Shizhu chieftain soldiers, they have stronger human and financial resources than the Shizhu chieftain soldiers, and the area is larger. He has learned a lot of military training skills from the Sichuan army. These 2,000 chieftain soldiers are stronger than the soldiers when he first brought them to Liaodong.
too much.
Ran Yuelong's second son Ran Tianlin is still in Liaodong, and his eldest son died for his country in Liaodong.
The third son Ran Tianbiao was temporarily in charge of the Youyang family. After Ran Yuelong recovered, he decided to bring some of the chieftains to defect to Wang Hongyu. This part of the chieftains was a reserve force, with 800 people.
Wang Hongyu knew that this was because the Youyang Ran family wanted to follow him to fight against the slaves. Although they had gone through life and death, they did not follow Zhou Dunji and Wang Hongyu as wholeheartedly as Qin Bangping, Qin Minping, and Qin Ling.
However, Wang Hongyu was deeply gratified to take the initiative to participate in the battle against She Chongming at the critical moment.
He wrote a letter, sent someone to Youyang, and handed it to Ran Yuelong in person. He first asked about his recovery, and then greatly praised the chieftain of Youyang for his active participation in countering the rebellion.
And welcome Ran Tianbiao to lead the Youyang chieftain soldiers to join the Hunhe Army.
Ran Tianbiao's position could at least be that of a thousand generals in other battalions, but the Hunhe Army didn't care about connections so much, so he could only start from a lower level as a general.
The commander-in-chief of the first battalion of the Hunhe Army has 450 to 500 people in his staff. He is also considered a very important middle-level military official.
With his joining, Youyang Chieftain also rose from the level of comrade-in-arms to the level of joining.
The Hunhe Army and the Youyang Chieftain need to deepen their cooperation, fight side by side to quell the She'an Rebellion, and contribute to the prosperity and stability of the southwest.
In addition to Shizhu and Youyang, the old Sichuan Army headquarters still exist.
One afternoon, Hou Cai, nephew of Sichuan General Hou Liangzhu, brought dozens of people to visit Yunyang.
Hou Liangzhu and Hou Cai are both powerful generals of the Sichuan Army.
They are all subordinate colleagues of Zhou Dunji, Zhang Shenwu and Tong Zhongkui.
I heard that Zhou Dunji and Tong Zhongkui died heroically in a desperate battle with Jiannu in Hunhe River in order to leave incense for the Southern Army.
Hou Cai, as a descendant of the Sichuan Army, defected to the Hunhe Army at this time to contribute to the elimination of Jiannu and the revitalization of the Sichuan Army. Even if he died on the battlefield, these people who came with him were all descendants of the Southern Army. Please ask the king.
The general accepted them.
Wang Hongyu was moved by the performance of these descendants of the Confederate Army and wanted to take them in, but he was afraid that they were acting on a whim. Hearing and experiencing bloodshed and sacrifice on the battlefield were completely different things, so he temporarily allowed them to follow him.
Hou Cai was temporarily training in the field army of the Jiantian Army.
Corresponding to the Baihu level of the Ming army, which is equivalent to the garrison soldier, at this time, the position in the garrison army is relatively low.
But he is still young and has a lot of room for growth in the future.
After all, he and Hou Liangzhu are both famous generals in history.
Nephew Hou Cai, in history, was promoted to the capital from Zhengshe Chongming. He fought in northern Sichuan and was promoted to guerrilla. In the tenth year of Chongzhen (1637), he successfully rescued Chengdu and was promoted to deputy general soldier. In the sixteenth year of Chongzhen (1643), he recruited troops to defend Sichuan and was promoted to deputy general.
General soldier.
His uncle, Hou Liangzhu, served as the deputy general of Sichuan and acted as the general of Sichuan. He conquered She Chongming and his son and recaptured Zunyi. Together with the counselor Zhao Bangqing, he recruited She Yin's party member An Luan. He conquered and captured She Chongming, An Bangyan and their accomplices.
Maude, Yang Zuo, etc. were called "Southwest Wonderful Skies" at that time.
Later, Li Zicheng's rebel army resisted the war and died in battle in Mianzhou. His family put a sandalwood coffin inlay and transported the body back to Nanxi, where he was buried in Guanyintan in the north of the county.
It has performed well historically, and now under the command of Wang Hongyu, it will surely achieve more.
