Lin Yueru said: "I can see that these people are extraordinary. These people were all killed with him from the piles of dead people in the previous battlefields in Liaodong. Without these hard enemies, how could we have achieved success with only 197 people?" Great victory at Zhenjiang Fort." Yan
"When Liaoyang City was destroyed, these were the Wen clan who kept their pregnancy alive and killed them out of Liaoyang City. Later, they heard that Mao Wenlong was in Zhenjiang Fort. So they found Zhenjiang Fort and sent Wen clan there. Now, Mao Chengdou is the only flesh and blood of Governor Zuo. These few and Zhao Yun of Changbanpo don’t have many friends.”
Hearing Lin Yueru say this, the little girl frowned a little.
These guys are so loyal to Mao Wenlong, no matter who they are, they should think twice before touching Mao Wenlong. With such a united team, it will not be easy to deal with the aftermath. Don't start a mutiny and surrender to the enemy.
In the first year of Tianqi (1621), Mao Wenlong, a guerrilla from the Ming Dynasty, was ordered by Wang Huazhen, the governor of Liaodong, to go to North Korea on official business as the capital of Liaodong. As a result, before he could return, Liaoyang had fallen.
Mao Wenlong was a bold man. When he saw that Nurhachi had mobilized all the troops in Liaodong for the decisive battle of Liaoshen, he immediately made up his mind to raid the coastal cities from behind.
He led 197 warriors including Mao Chenglu, You Jinghe, Wang Fu, Chen Zhong, etc., deep into the enemy's rear, and first recovered more than 2,000 miles of coastal islands such as Pig Island, Haiyang Island, Changshan Island, and Guanglu Island, and captured After kidnapping Hu Kebin, Ren Guangxian, He Guoyong and others who were officers of the Golden Guard Island.
On July 14 of that year, the local people reported that the main force of the Hou Jin Dynasty in Zhenjiang (today's Dandong City, Liaoning Province) went to Shuangshan to kill the people who refused to surrender the Hou Jin Dynasty, leaving the city empty. So they discussed with Wang Yining, a rural student in Zhenjiang, and others, Contacted Zhenjiang Central Army Chen Liangce and other newly surrendered Han troops as internal agents, and led more than 100 men to attack Zhenjiang at night.
Wang Yining and other squires came to comfort the Eight Banners soldiers with gongs and drums, and brought more than a hundred jars of liquor and dozens of cattle and sheep. As a result, the more than 400 Eight Banners soldiers who stayed behind became very drunk. Chen Liangce led more than a hundred Han soldiers The army opened the castle gate and successfully attacked.
After the Jin guerrillas captured Tong Yangzhen (also known as Tong Yangzheng, the great-grandfather of Kangxi), his son Tong Fengnian, his nephew Tong Songnian and others, they sent Chen Zhong and others to attack Shuangshan, and captured and killed the Houjin guerrillas Miao Yizhen and others. It was known as the "Great Victory of Zhenjiang" in history. .
These Tong family members were the Tong family who later became known as the Tong Ban Dynasty during the Kangxi Dynasty. Although they later became extremely noble, they became the stepping stones for Mao Wenlong's fortune.
Xiao Niangpi looked at these tough generals and couldn't help but ask: "I heard that Governor Mao Zuo was originally a weak scholar. He lived in Hangzhou until he was more than thirty years old, but he still accomplished nothing. He made a living by setting up a street stall and telling fortunes. .How did he get into the officialdom? I remember that his family was a salt merchant."
Lin Yueru said: "Yes, his family was born as a salt merchant in Shanxi. But their branch declined when his father arrived. His father's ability to marry the daughter of the Shen family, the first family in Hangzhou, is inseparable from the prosperity of his family. It's open."
"His father Mao Wei died when he was nine years old, and his mother became a widow at the age of twenty-six, which was very difficult. So she took her three sons and lived with her younger brother Shen Guangzuo. Shen Guangzuo was a famous eunuch in Hangzhou and a Jinshi in the Yimo Branch of Wanli. He served as a promotion official in Kaifeng Prefecture, Chief Envoy of Shandong, and Yin of Shuntian Prefecture. It can be said that he was raised by his uncle. Later, Mao Wenlong joined the army, and he was promoted and recommended by his maternal uncle."
Xiao Niangpi said: "I'm afraid it's not possible for a businessman's son to become an official. The gap between officials and civilians is huge. He is not a martial artist. He has no identity."
"That's it. Originally, he was not qualified, and his uncle couldn't help him. After all, the first step in becoming an official was the most difficult. But later, his mother saw that he was over thirty and couldn't even find a wife. With no choice, he
He was adopted by his uncle who was a member of the Baihu household in Anshan. He had inherited his uncle's position as a Baihu householder. Only then could he become an official. So his uncle wrote to Li Chengliang recommending him. At that time, his uncle had already arrived in Shandong.
The chief envoy has arrived."
At this time, at the pier, Mao Wenlong and others were also looking for a boat. At this time, a black boat came over. The military officials began to lead the boat. The servants also carried large and small boxes and cages onto the boat. It seemed that they planned to
Go to Tongzhou, then go south along the North Canal to Tanggu, and change to a sea boat back to Pidao.
At this time, Xiaoyu came in and reported. "Madam, Donkey Dan said the air pressure is enough and the boat can be sailed. Shall we go?"
Xiao Niangpi waved her hand, signaling to start the boat.
Unexpectedly, I saw Mao Wenlong and his gang here. They looked like tough guys. I didn’t know if Yuandudu could take them down. Xiao Niangpi sighed.
"If you kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, I'm afraid that Commander Yuan won't be able to survive. If not, one of his teeth will be broken. It's not our soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who are losing money due to the quarrel."
Lin Yueru smiled and said: "Without the emperor's nod, Governor Yuan can't touch him. His subordinates rely on him as their parents. Governor Yuan wants to kill the parents of these tigers and wolves, do you think they can agree?" Yan
Toot toot! The sound of the Qingyue whistle spreads far in the quiet morning.
Boom, boom, boom! This is the sound of the steam engine starting up. The crankshaft drives the gearbox and propeller blades to start rotating. The fleet slowly starts moving.
With the sound of the whistle, the surrounding ships moved out of the way. Nowadays, railways are being built inside and outside the capital. The gentry and common people have long been accustomed to steam engines. They have seen steam cars, and steam ships are nothing.
The sound of the whistle alarmed Mao Wenlong and others. They looked from the boat and saw a black iron-ribbed wooden hull boat in the distance, emitting black smoke, dragging three boats, and slowly passed in front of them.
It was the first time for Mao Wenlong and others to see a steamship, and they were all stunned.
There is no need for people to row oars or row boats, and there is no need for people to punt the boats. These boats can move on their own. It’s really a long time coming.
Seeing their surprise, the captain of the ship explained: "Dear gentlemen, this is Uncle Dingyuan's ship. What is it called a steam engine ship? It uses coal to burn fire and then uses boiled water vapor to drive it. No one is needed to row the boat. It all depends on the fire."
Yan
When Mao Wenlong heard that it was Yang Fan's property, his expression suddenly became serious. He had heard a lot about the deeds of Uncle Dingyuan, who had suddenly risen in the past two years. To be fair, he couldn't do it no matter what.
When I went to Beijing this time, I heard that he once again created a miracle. With 80,000 battalions, he had won all the way, attacked the city, and even captured the Guihua City of Anda Khan. The formation beheaded the Mongol true Tatars.
Thirty thousand, captured Taiji, Tabu Nang, Na Yan, and more than 300 herdsmen. They were all sent to the capital as prisoners. The emperor was very happy.
Watching the fleet passing by, the tugboat at the back was obviously equipped with small artillery. Officers and soldiers of a general flag stood clearly on both sides of the ship in armor. Each of them was majestic and murderous. At first glance, it was long.
A battle-hardened veteran.
Master Wang Yining came over and sighed: "It is said that Uncle Yuan can fight. His subordinates are so elite. With such an iron army, there is no need to worry about building slaves and not destroying them."
