Chapter 213: Kill Mazi on the side of the Qing army!
Wen Liangchen is an old fox. He has studied for half his life and been an official for half his life.
I have seen too much darkness and cruelty in this world!
He has long since given up on face.
When doing things, it is natural to be as meticulous as possible.
Before the battle becomes clear, he doesn't want to leave the field to express his stance!
After the situation of the war is clear, he only needs to join the victor, and nothing else matters.
All the wealthy gentry in Qiongzhou praised Wen Liangchen's old ways and expressed their admiration.
Here, the gentry in Qiongzhou were preparing baskets and pots of food to welcome the king. The movement was not small, and the Qiongzhou magistrate He Wenwei noticed it.
However, when he asked, the Qiongzhou gentry gave the answer that they were preparing a celebration banquet for Master Wang who went out of the city to fight against thieves...
Although He Wenwei knew what these people were thinking, he was speechless!
After all, the excuse I made is quite legitimate!
Moreover, for the sake of stability in Qiongzhou City, He Wenwei really did not dare to offend these gentry.
After all, the green battalion soldiers of the Qing army were now led out of the city by the commander-in-chief Yan Zitong, and they were halfway across to attack the Ming army's landing force.
In terms of defending the city, we had to rely on the servants and guards armed by the landlords and gentry in Qiongzhou.
Offending these local snakes now is not a wise choice!
The Qing army moved very quickly. After Yan Zitong gave rewards to the troops and boosted their morale, he pulled the green camp garrisoned in Qiongzhou outside the city.
Attack the Ming Army's landing troops directly!
…
Zhu Hongyu stood on the land of Qiongzhou, wearing a golden armor and stomach, which was extremely dazzling.
He was surrounded by a large number of Liberation Army soldiers.
The twelve-pointed sun and moon flag representing the Ming Dynasty and the red background and black dragon flag of the Liberation Army were flying behind him!
More than half of the six thousand Liberation Army soldiers have disembarked from the ship!
The landing troops began to organize their formations according to different organizational structures on the land of Qiongzhou Port, ready to go into battle at any time.
Field artillery pieces, a large amount of gunpowder, shells, and explosive shells were transported from the transport ship!
There was no confusion during the entire login process, everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.
The excellent soldier quality and efficient organization of the Liberation Army are evident!
Especially when the army was marching, Zheng Chenggong was even more envious of his demeanor with his command and control!
If the soldiers and horses under his command had the organization level of the Liberation Army, the defeat of Nanjing might not have happened at all.
Even if he loses a battle, it doesn't matter. He can rely on the strong organization of the army at any time to quickly reorganize his troops and fight again, or organize a retreat.
The whole situation will not collapse just because of one defeat!
"Your Royal Highness, the elite of the Liberation Army is really enviable to me!"
Zheng Chenggong said with emotion in his tone.
Zhu Hongyu said with a smile.
"I'll give Old Taishan a copy of the Liberation Army's military training manual later, and he can just practice with it!"
Regarding the military training and drills of the Liberation Army, Zhu Hongyu gave them as he said.
On the one hand, it is to enhance the combat effectiveness of the Zheng army, which is beneficial to the overall situation of resisting the Qing Dynasty.
On the other hand, it was because Zhu Hongyu knew that even if he gave Zheng Chenggong a complete set of military training instructions, and even taught Zheng Chenggong how to train troops step by step, Zheng Chenggong would not be able to turn Zheng Chenggong into a liberation army.
Because the strength of the Liberation Army depends not only on a set of military training drills, but also on the strength of the entire military system of the Liberation Army!
From the army's logistics, to ordnance, to the command system, power structure, and organizational methods, the Liberation Army is completely different from the army of this era.
To give a simple example, the reason why the Liberation Army can enforce orders and prohibitions and have such a highly efficient organization depends on daily high-intensity training.
What supports the high-intensity training is the food treatment provided by the Liberation Army to the troops, ensuring that everyone has enough food and sufficient fuel and water.
It is precisely because of this that the Liberation Army can ensure high-intensity training and will not break people down.
On the other hand, there is military pay and high treatment in terms of military merit!
These are Zhu Hongyu's best means of stabilizing the morale of the army!
Zheng Chenggong couldn't do just this!
It's okay to say that military fields are good. Like Luzon Island, there are many uncultivated fertile fields on Daguan Island.
No matter how you divide it, you won’t feel bad.
However, in terms of the pay given to the soldiers by the Liberation Army and the food and treatment provided by the army, Zheng Jun could never replicate it!
Although Zheng Chenggong is rich and can afford this money.
But the moths in the army will definitely mess everything up!
No matter how much Zheng Chenggong offered, they would dare to take at least half of it.
With them here, we can guarantee that the money Zheng Chenggong spends will never be realized!
However, the Liberation Army is a newly established army. There are no cliques or factions in the army, and a bad culture of corruption has not yet developed.
No one dared to reach out to the army, because everyone knew that the army was Zhu Hongyu's enemy.
Whoever touches anyone will die!
Another thing is that Zhu Hongyu controlled the army not by the army generals, but by the complete command system of the Liberation Army.
Therefore, he can clean up the moths in the Liberation Army without any scruples.
He can guarantee that even if he cleans out a large number of moths in the army, the army will not be in chaos and its combat effectiveness will not be greatly affected.
However, Zheng Chenggong could not do this.
This is because all the worms in Zheng's army are close relatives of the Zheng family, or are close associates of Zheng Chenggong.
Zheng Chenggong controlled the army and relied on these people to command the army.
If he attacks these people, the army will probably mutiny!
In the same way, the same is true for the Qing army!
If Kang Mazi dared to attack the army, the Eight Banners nobles and Han military leaders in the Qing army would dare to join forces to kill Mazi and Qing Jun!
Therefore, Zhu Hongyu had no objection at all to the spread of the Liberation Army's military training routines.
Zheng Chenggong said.
"Old minister, thank you for your highness's trust!"
Zhu Hongyu waved his hand and said it was okay, and continued to command the Liberation Army to land and prepare for war.
At this moment, a messenger suddenly came to report.
"Report!
"
"I am reporting to His Highness the Supervisor that the Qing troops in Qiongzhou City have left the city."
"Coming towards the port!"
Zhu Hongyu had a very obvious expression of astonishment on his face.
They came out of the city and took the initiative to challenge the Ming army. Are the Qing troops in Qiongzhou so brave?
But his astonishment did not last long, and after just a moment, he ordered in an orderly manner.
"Instruct the landing troops to prepare for battle and prepare to meet the enemy!"
"The artillery began to set up positions immediately!"
The Liberation Army quickly made battle preparations and prepared for battle in the open space outside Qiongzhou Port, making room for the landing of subsequent troops.
…
The dull sound of war drums and the harsh sound of brass whistles kept sounding, and the Liberation Army quickly changed from a marching array to a combat array.
Neat phalanxes appeared on the battlefield one after another!
The sound of neat footsteps and the clang of armor and stomach all demonstrate the strength of the army.
Zhu Hongyu got on his horse and rode towards the army, preparing to personally command the battle.
The big banner representing his identity is flying high!
The morale of the Liberation Army is high!
The Ming army was ready to fight, and the Qing army also entered the battlefield.
At the end of the horizon, a large black mass of Qing troops appeared.
Yan Zitong, the commander-in-chief of the Qiongzhou army of the Qing army, led the green battalion garrisoned in Qiongzhou and attacked the landing Ming army.
When the distance between the two sides was only two or three miles, the marching Qing army stopped.
