"There used to be a saying: If Wuhu is cooked, the world is sufficient. Of course, it has now been changed to Huguang cooked, and the world is sufficient. But Wuhu is still an important grain production base in the Ming Dynasty. The military grain on the northern line generally uses Wuhu and Songjiang rice.
"Why did General Liu ask me to identify the rice?" Zhou Mengren said.
"I'm not asking you to identify the rice. I'm asking you to analyze why the Ming Dynasty's military rations fell into the hands of the Qing soldiers. Moreover, this kind of Wuhu rice bag has never been robbed by the Qing soldiers." Liu Ziguang pointed to the rice.
The writing on the bag says.
Zhou Mengren took a breath and said with some disbelief: "Is there someone who secretly sold military rations to the Qing army? No, how dare you do such a thing?" He patted his head and walked a few steps, "First of all
This can't be a counter-intentional plan by the Qing army. They won't use the names of more than a thousand elite soldiers to frame our army's grain and grass officer. Oh. The person in charge of grain and grass equipment is Zhejiang Bingdao Miao Kejian, the famous Miao Papi, a
The people of Zhejiang, who are capable of picking off military equipment, are complaining. If Cui Chengxiu hadn't protected him, he would have been dismissed from his post and investigated. He secretly sold military rations to local powerful people, and then the local powerful people sold them to the Qing army. I guess this is what happened."
"Humph, I don't think so. If the profit can reach more than three times, it is not impossible to sell it directly to the Qing army. If the price is ten times higher, I think he would even dare to sell it to me." Liu Ziguang said, regarding the shamelessness of corrupt officials.
, he is mentally prepared enough.
"The old Miao thief dares to liaise with foreign countries, see if I don't kill him!" Wu Sangui said bitterly, pulling out half of his waist knife to show his determination to eliminate traitors for the country. He usually eats old rice mixed with sand. It turns out that
All the good rice has gone to the Qing army, and everyone would be angry.
"Collect all this evidence." Liu Ziguang ordered to collect all the Wuhu military ration bags carried by the Qing army. This will be the best physical evidence for a lawsuit.
The battlefield has almost been cleaned and the bodies have been buried. They will have to dig up their graves again and bury them in the ironworks cemetery in the future, so now they are just being treated hastily to prevent them from being destroyed by wild beasts.
All the personnel lined up in front of the grave, with Liu Ziguang standing at the forefront, followed by several company platoon leaders, Wu Sangui and others. Everyone acted in unison under the orders of the duty officer Zha Muhe.
"Draw your sword!" Hundreds of steel knives and swords were unsheathed in unison, and the hand holding the sword was placed on the right chest.
"Salute!" The steel knife was raised in front of the nose, with arms and shoulders as wide as each other. For a moment, the atmosphere was solemn and the wilderness was silent. Occasionally, one or two horse neighs interrupted people's remembrance of their companions.
"Brothers, the mountains and rivers here are beautiful. You will stay here for two days, and I will invite you back home in a few days. After Liu Ziguang finished speaking, he suddenly waved the Baihong knife to the lower right, with a graceful and neat movement. This was a set he created based on the honor guard of the People's Liberation Army.
Military Salute is currently in the trial stage.
Hundreds of knives behind him also waved downwards, and then Zhamuhe shouted: "The ceremony is over." There was the sound of swords being sheathed. But the ceremony was not over yet, Zhamuhe continued to shout: "Bye!"
Under the leadership of Liu Ziguang, all the people knelt down in front of the grave and kowtowed three times before the ceremony officially ended.
Although Wu Sangui and other officers and soldiers did not understand, they still followed suit. After the ceremony, he followed Liu Ziguang and asked: "General, some coachmen and soldiers died, why do we need such a grand memorial ceremony?"
Liu Ziguang said: "There is no high or low on the battlefield. People will die if they have no eyesight. If these brothers don't die, it may be you or me. Death is a big deal, so it is not an exaggeration to pay tribute like this, and it can make the living
People think they die with value and dignity. Do you understand that?"
"Oh, morale can be used..." Wu Sangui nodded, seeming to understand a little.
The convoy set off, and the light cavalry continued to guard and conduct reconnaissance on the outside. Running around the cart were the newly added infantry on horseback. These people also had some background in riding skills, and they were able to gallop with style.
Half an hour after the motorcade passed, the wild beasts in the old forest dared to poke their heads out and enjoy the feast of human and horse corpses.
Yanzhou City has high walls and thick walls. It was originally an important town of the Qing Dynasty. Now it has been raised a few feet by Yuan Chonghuan. More than a dozen large holes have been dug in the city walls, where steam cannons and repeating crossbows are set up. Two medium-sized boilers supported by the iron factory are hidden in the walls.
Behind the city wall, Yanzhou's rich coal resources ensure that cannons and repeating crossbows are always ready, and that everyone in the city can drink hot water at any time. Eighty thousand horses are stationed in the city, and 20,000 cavalry are led by Man Gui.
Stationed in the west camp outside the city, 20,000 chariot soldiers camped in the east of the city under the leadership of Zu Dashou. The camp was very solid, with deep trenches and high walls. The three parties formed horns to watch and help each other, like a three-headed beast.
The Qing army found it difficult to attack.
The Qing army on the opposite side was a 150,000 Qing army under the command of Dorgon, Prince Guorui of the Qing Dynasty. The main force was the elite troops of Zhengbai Banner and Xiangbai Banner, which he personally controlled. Other banners also sent many troops. Then there were a large number of Han Eight Banners.
And the green soldiers, these green soldiers were carrying ladders to attack the city in the past few days, with countless casualties. Dorgon did not blink his eyes. Letting the Han people kill each other was his consistent strategy. Yuan Chonghuan was one of the few soldiers in the Southern Ming Dynasty.
He is a famous general who is good at defending the city. Huang Taiji, the eighth brother, died under his arrow. The cavalry trained by the Yuan family are also very powerful. When the number is superior, they can compete with the Eight Banners cavalry. They are indeed difficult to deal with.
Guy.
The most powerful fortress often collapses from within. If it cannot be attacked by force, then we must outsmart it. Fan Wencheng has been deep into the Ming Realm for some time. There must be good news coming soon. Those Ming Dynasty civil servants are shameless.
The level is even better than when the Qing army entered the customs. This is a good thing for me, the Qing Dynasty.
Let’s just talk about the soldier surnamed Miao in Teng County. He was so bold that he even dared to sell military supplies to the enemy. If this was left to the Qing Dynasty, he wouldn’t even dare to give him ten heads. There was a severe drought in the north last year.
Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Hebei are all experiencing no harvests, hungry people are rebelling, and there are wars all over the place. As a result, the current military rations are not enough. If it hadn't been for Miao Kejian's help, I'm afraid they would have to withdraw their troops if they couldn't attack for a long time. Well, when we take over the Southern Dynasties, yes
It's not that you want to thank Miao Kejian, you must thank him and hang his head on the city gate to thank him. Dorgon can't tolerate such a treacherous minister in his eyes.
The food problem has been solved for the time being. Now it is time to outwit Yuan Chonghuan. Once Yanzhou is captured and the elite Xuzhou Army of the Ming Dynasty is annihilated, there will be a vast plain before us. By seizing the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, the famine in the north can be alleviated. The Qing Dynasty's ruling ability
Only those who are restless can surrender in front of their own civil and martial arts.
Thinking of those restless guys, Dorgon couldn't help but sigh. Others can behead and confiscate their homes, but the leader can't be touched at all in public or private matters. Fulin, Fulin, I'll kill this flower.
Isn’t the country for you? Yu Gong, you are the legitimate son of the late emperor and the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. Yu privately, you are mine... mine... alas...
The little emperor probably couldn't stand what happened to my Yu'er. He was bewitched by Han tradition and thought that it was against human ethics for me to marry his mother. He was unwilling to recognize me as his uncle as his stepfather, so he married a few people.
The banner owner and Han ministers seduced me from my military power and put me under house arrest. But how did he know about the grudges between Yu'er, me, and Bage? Bage took away my throne and my beloved
A woman who also took away my biological son... Thinking of Yu'er's tearful eyes, a trace of tenderness flashed across Dorgon's eyes.
The son who has seized the power of his father is indeed my son, Dorgon! Thinking of the incident last year when the little emperor led the Zhenghuang Banner Xiaoqi camp to seal Prince Rui's Mansion, Dorgon's face showed an expression of relief again. This son was still brave at the critical moment.
Yes, it’s a pity that those banner masters and Han ministers only played tricks and tricks but could not fight with real swords and guns. They encouraged the little emperor to hastily march south. They also said that they would take advantage of the Lunar New Year to launch a surprise attack on the Southern Dynasty, and they would definitely win. As a result, they ended up in front of a small town.
The halberd was broken, and a large amount of food, fodder and soldiers were lost. Thinking of these armchair warriors being beheaded in rows outside the Meridian Gate, Dorgon's anger that had just been gathered dissipated a little.
Fulin had been in poor health since he was a child. He suffered from the cold and fright in the winter, and fell ill when he returned to the capital. Those insidious banner masters began to covet the throne again. Fortunately, Yu'er rescued him and was able to turn the tide and save the country.
Clear rivers and mountains by water and fire.
Yu'er has been caught between her son and her husband these years, and it has been really difficult for her. People who are less than forty years old have some silver hair on their temples. She must make up for it. I heard that the sweet osmanthus in the south of the Yangtze River is fragrant and the lotus flowers are ten miles away.
It was very suitable for resting. After taking over the Southern Dynasty, they officially handed over the country to their son. The couple found a village with mountains and rivers in Suzhou and Hangzhou to spend their days well.
While I was thinking a lot, Goshiha's voice came from outside the big cowhide tent: "Your Majesty, the people at the Military Aircraft Department have something to report."
"Passed." Fan Wencheng must have had some idea of his plan. As expected, the person who came in was one of Fan Wencheng's subordinates, "Please tell me, Your Majesty, Lord Fan has a secret message to hand over."
Dorgon took the secret letter and read it. After reading it, he was overjoyed: "Mr. Fan is indeed our number one civil servant in the Qing Dynasty. This is a very clever plan. Come and tell all the generals above the rank of staff to come to the big tent to listen to the order."
!”
While Dorgon was arranging his troops, Cui Chengxiu was also arranging his troops and horses. The two of them had one thing in common, that is, they were all arranged according to the strategies of one person, and this person was Fan Wencheng.
Fan Wencheng, dressed in a feather fan and silk scarf, sat next to Cui Chengxiu, looking like an outsider. The four men sent out to hunt down Zhou Mengren yesterday haven't come back yet. Could there be some mistake? In any case, it can't affect this.
Now he can't control so much of his plan. The plan has been launched, like a huge stone roller starting to rotate. Tens of thousands of troops will be mobilized accordingly. Anyone who tries to stop him will be turned into powder.
Cui Chengxiu held a small bamboo pole in his hand, pointing out the country and giving orders. Miao Kejian's generals, guerrillas, generals, and generals all sat in the hall and waited for their orders.
According to the battle plan compiled by Fan Wencheng, of the 20,000 Zhejiang troops stationed in Teng County, only 2,000 old and weak men were left to defend the city. The remaining 18,000 troops were divided into two parts, and 15,000 troops were pushed to the vicinity of Yanzhou to prevent possible attacks.
During the mutiny, three thousand elite soldiers followed Cui Chengxiu to capture Yuan Chonghuan.
Cui Chengxiu is patrolling the border on behalf of the emperor this time. Yuan Chonghuan will definitely go out ten miles from the city to greet him. He will not bring more than a thousand men and horses with him. When the time comes, he will attack directly. He will ask Shang Fang's sword to kill Yuan Chonghuan. Then he will lead his troops into Yanzhou and read out the ten orders of the thief Yuan.
The major crime was to put the charges of failure in combat, embezzlement of money and food, and excessive punishment of soldiers on his head. Then he distributed money and food, promoted him to make a wish, and subdued the Xuzhou army. The rest was to wait for the Qing army to withdraw automatically without spending a single soldier.
The soldiers advanced to the natural dangers of the Yellow River. Under the great victory, people's hearts were boiling. Who cares whether Yuan Chonghuan died unjustly or not.
In order to ensure the reliability of the plan, Cui Chengxiu has sent a letter to Zu Dashou and Man Gui respectively. The letters are full of praise and implicitly express their willingness to recommend each other to be the general soldier of Shandong. This move is called in Thirty-six Strategies
Creation of something out of nothing, a promise can contain these two people. Once Yuan Chonghuan is eliminated, they will definitely compete for the position of the leader of the Xuzhou Army, so they will have to ingratiate themselves with the Minister of the Ministry of War.
The ancients said that two peaches kill three soldiers, and one official position can make two men fight to the death. It is better to kill each other and kill one or two. Then you can place your cronies as you like and completely control the Xuzhou Army.
