The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 157
Zheng Fantai's family has followed Huang Han's family to Kaiping Town to live temporarily. After all, it has not been baptized by war at all, and there are so many deep houses and large courtyards.

Zheng Xiu'e and several literate maidservants of the Zheng family have been taking the initiative to help Huang Yi, who is only 11 years old, and his two older sisters, Huang Xin and Huang Yan, to manage affairs. Need a lot of manpower.

Zheng Guochang has been inquiring about Yang Lian, the magistrate of Luanzhou, and now he can confirm that Yang Lian committed suicide when the city of Luanzhou was broken. Only a dozen servants escaped from the Yang family with more than [-] families. Young master Yang and Mrs. Yang Wait for thirty or forty people to die.

After the news was confirmed by many parties, Zheng Guochang lamented that his old friend Yang Lian was in bad luck and at the same time he was also thinking about his beloved daughter. He had already written to his wife, confiding in his intention to marry Xiu'e to Huang Han, and also wanted to hear the result. Send your wife's opinion.

After all, the Zheng family is a scholar-bureaucrat and a high-ranking court official with a prominent family background. Marrying a daughter-in-law to a martial artist might cause criticism, and it might make people laugh.

When Mrs. Zheng received her husband's letter, she also sighed at the Yang family, and then she asked her daughter Xiu'e to tell her the tragedy of the Yang family's death.

Zheng Xiu'e had been mentally prepared as early as the first month of the month, and it wasn't that she looked too sad at this time, it might be because she didn't know Young Master Yang at all, so she didn't have any feelings for her.

In turn, she comforted her mother and said, "Mom, if my Zheng family hadn't rushed to the refuge in Jiulitai Village on New Year's Eve last year, I'm afraid the outcome might not be better than that of the Yang family. Come."

Mrs. Zheng took the opportunity to ask her daughter, "Xiu'e, your father is grateful for Huang Han's life-saving grace and wants to betroth you to him. I don't know what you want?"

Zheng Xiu'e blushed with shame, lowered her head and said, "A daughter is completely determined by her mother."

Mrs. Zheng said: "Huang Han led the 'Red Banner Army' and killed thousands of Jiannu. They were the ones who avenged the Yang family. Mother decides to marry you to him. If Yang Jiaquan knows, he should be safe."

"Mother, when my daughter marries into the Huang family, she will definitely spare no effort to support her husband in training troops to defend the family and defend the country. I can no longer let the tragedy of the Yang family happen in Yongping Mansion."

"Don't worry if my daughter doesn't dislike that Huang Han is a warrior mother, I will write back to your father and ask him to settle the marriage as soon as possible, so as not to have long nights and dreams."

"It's not an exaggeration to describe Daming as the broken mountains and rivers, the wind and the catkins. How can scholars fight against Dongnu without the strength of a chicken? It will be a matter of time before the rise of the warriors. Even my brother went to serve in the army."

"That's true. Everyone in the Huang family is very united. Not only the blacksmiths are busy making equipment, but even the women are busy sewing mandarin duck battle jackets. It's boring to be idle for mother, and they often go to help!"

"That's right! The Huang family is still very knowledgeable. Those craftsmen are willing to work hard in the Huang's house. They work much harder than the craftsmen I saw in Yongping Prefecture before."

Zheng Xiu'e, who helped the Huang family manage affairs, was insightful. Now the number of blacksmiths owned by the Huang family has increased sharply again, because all the craftsmen in Kaiping Town have been requisitioned by the "Red Banner Army", which is different from the requisition of craftsmen by the imperial court at any time.

The Huang family did not let the craftsmen work for nothing, but adopted a monthly salary employment model. This move made the craftsmen very grateful, and everyone worked hard. Well-fed job opportunities.

Huang Han knows the direction of history. Although he disrupted the situation, the general direction has not changed. He believes that with the strength of the "Red Banner Army" and the white-armed soldiers, all the Houjin troops left in the pass will not be able to shake the small 1 troops. .

At this time, the Houjin army is no longer what it was when they first entered the customs last year. They have no fighting spirit, and it is impossible to challenge the white-armed soldiers who have shown their military power in Hunhe. Therefore, this team completely excludes Jiannu Possibility of active attack.

Now it is the glorious moment when the Golden Army regained the lost ground after being wiped out. Of course, the "Red Banner Army" must dare to be the first in the world.

It is especially important to close the battlefield and block information so that the enemy cannot accurately know the use of our troops and the deployment of troops.

The cavalry of the "Red Banner Army" were all dispatched, fighting with Jiannu sentry horses in units of hundreds of generals every day. It didn't take long before the few Jiannu scouts retreated. Foreign military situation.

On May [-], the troops and equipment of the infantry of the "Red Banner Army" were assembled, and the medical team of the medical officer Liu Dashou was formed.

The medical team consisted of 36 men under Li Mulin and Guo Xiao, and 72 women, all of whom were able to disinfect, suture, apply medicine and bandage the wounded.

The "Red Banner Army" also specially formed a stretcher team with 120 people and [-] stretchers. The stretcher members are all military servicemen and reserve soldiers. Let them go to the battlefield and give them a chance to perform. It is the priority to become the object of investigation of Zhengbing.

Huang Han believed that the time was ripe to launch a raid to seize the city, so he took the initiative to come to Shaheyi to meet Zheng Guochang at the Xingyuan of the Ming Army.

The main generals of this group of people gathered in the main camp of the Chinese army. Huang Han's current rank is only from the fourth rank, and his rank is not as good as that of the beautiful model Qin Yuyi.

But none of the civilian and military generals along the way dared to underestimate Huang Han. On the contrary, after fighting with Guan Ning's iron cavalry a few days ago, everyone saw the combat effectiveness of the "Red Banner Army" and was full of confidence in the combat mission to capture Yongping Fucheng.

After seeing the ceremony, Huang Han asked for orders directly: "Master Fantai, please order me to be the vanguard of the army to attack Yongping. The 'Red Banner Army' has conducted targeted training these days, and it is easy to seize the city in one fell swoop."

The words are very full, not because Huang Han is arrogant, but because Huang Han is a prophet, knowing that the Yongping Prefecture in history was abandoned by the Hou Jin Army, but there was no fierce battle.

It can be seen from this that Amin's boy is not prepared to defend the city at all, and he will not have the determination to live with the city. Once the "Red Banner Army" seizes the city, there is no guarantee that this boy will run away immediately.

It's a good thing for the generals to invite the battle, but this stunned young man thinks the offensive and defensive battles are too simple, Zheng Guochang said: "General Huang, I have been an official in Yongping Fucheng for more than four years, it can be said that the city is high and the walls are thick It's too easy to fight.

In the first month of this year, if Jiannu hadn't used time to infiltrate the city in advance, I am afraid that he might not be able to take Yongping City.If you take the 'Red Banner Army' forward, once you fail to attack the city and cause losses, it will damage the morale of our army. I think it is the best policy to advance steadily and slowly. "

Qin Liangyu also persuaded: "General Huang is commendable for his loyalty and bravery. It is a pity that our army does not have the red barbarian cannon, which is a sharp weapon for attacking the city. From this we can see that it is inevitable that the ants will attack the city. This kind of warfare depends entirely on the number of people, and only on the general's ability." It may be difficult for the Red Banner Army to seize the city."
