Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 93 Kong Ming
Li Yuchun looked at this man who claimed to be a country gentleman who had come to surrender, and was a little surprised.After all, he was a bit ruthless in killing people and setting fires along the way. The former Tuxishi Township and Zhujiazhuang should be notorious. He also participated in the ten massacres in Yangzhou. There should be few gentry in the south of the Yangtze River who are not afraid of him.

Now there are still people taking the initiative to surrender.

Mr. Yan took off his Liuhe melon skin cap, revealing his freshly shaved scalp, and the short pigtail under the cap also fell off.

The shiny black head was freshly shaved.

"The student is the patriarch of the nearby Jin family Yang. He was born in Juren and has a small fortune. When the Qing soldiers went south, I brought the clan to send food and money to help pay."

"Recently, a group of people came out of nowhere, claiming to be under the command of Zhu Wu, the admiral of the south of the Yangtze River. They did not dare to attack the prefectures and counties, but they ran rampant in the villages, sending donations to catch the strong, and they were running wild. The landlord in the township was forced to donate a lot of money and food, because he would not be able to make up so much in a short time. The student uncle asked them to ask for mercy, but he was arrested and beaten. The uncle was also a scholar. I don’t want to worship you, but those rebel soldiers stripped my uncle’s clothes and beat him openly, insulting the gentleman!”

"It's too much."

"Now we are forcing the strong men in our clan and the village to come and fight the court officers and soldiers. This is injustice for us. We came helplessly under the sword and gun, but we never dared to hurt the Manchurians and the court officers and soldiers. So after much deliberation, the only option is to come quietly and surrender."

"The students are well-known in the village. They have united with some gentry and are willing to surrender together. They will cooperate with the general and defeat those thieves and bandits."

Li Yuchun scratched his head, looked at this guy, looked at such a talented person, unexpectedly he was also a timid and cowardly person.He was secretly contemptuous in his heart, but there was a smile on his face.

Right now they are surrounded on all sides, and their eyes are in the dark, so they can't figure out what's going on outside. Now that someone has taken the initiative to vote, at least they can know something about the enemy's situation.

With some caution, Li Yuchun cross-examined him again and again, and he became more and more contemptuous of this Yan Wogong, believing that he was a fool who was greedy for life and afraid of death, and even wanted to speculate for some wealth at this time.

This guy has been hinted at several times in the back.

"what do you want?"

"Students are loyal to the imperial court." Yan Wo is fair.

Li Yuchun thought hehe, these damned gentry are really slicker than one when they play this game, they both want to be watches and set up memorial archways.

The more questions Li Yuchun continued, the more frightened he became.

According to what Yan Wogong said, this group of people claiming to be under the command of Zhu Wu, the admiral of the Ming Dynasty, did not come from Su Song in the north, but sneaked in from the Ningshao area in eastern Zhejiang in the south of Hangzhou Bay.

There are many people and horses, known as the ten thousand army.

The leader, Zhu Wu, is said to be the ninth younger brother of Lu Jianguo, known in the army as the Nine Princes, who is very young in his early twenties, and a dude is not something to worry about. Waiting also went north with the army, actually in charge of military power and responsible for combat. These people are veteran generals who have fought in Liaodong and have rich experience.

Even among the 1 horses going north, there is also the Yongwei Battalion.

"There are really ten thousand soldiers and horses?"

"It is true. The students saw with their own eyes that there were twenty battalions, each with 500 men, and more than 300 long husbands. In fact, there were 7000 soldiers, and there were more than 500 long husbands. In addition, after they went north, they lived in Hangzhou, Jiaxing. In the coastal villages, strong men are everywhere, 300 people for a brave battalion, [-] people for a militia regiment, and there are hundreds of them, and now the young and strong men in the entire southern village are being coerced by them."

"Zhujiazhuang has a radius of ten miles, and their troops are everywhere. They are preparing to besiege from ten sides and take down the general's officers and soldiers with the tactics of crowds."

Li Yuchun couldn't help but take a deep breath when he heard this.

If it is an ordinary general, he will never be afraid of this kind of crowd tactics of the militia, but his own soldiers and horses are basically like this. In fact, there is no countermeasure for the crowd tactics.

If he really wants to fight with a sea of ​​people, he will be alone and helpless, and he will be cold.

"Zhu Wu was originally a dandy. The students met him. Everywhere he went, he searched for the books, ancient books, famous calligraphy and paintings, and Guqin in the gentry's house. When he was free, he would shoot and hunt. He didn't care about wars. He was a fake Lu Jianguo. Zhu Yihai sent to take command in the name of the bandit army. The real commanders of the bandit army were Wang Zhiren, the governor of the Beijing camp of the puppet Ming Dynasty, Zhang Mingzhen, the admiral of Zhejiang Province in the puppet Ming Dynasty, and Zhao Chaoxian, the commander-in-chief of western Zhejiang in the puppet Ming Dynasty. Take the navy to support in the offshore."

"Wang Zhiren has three battalions of Zhejiang veterans under his command, Zhang Mingzhen has two battalions of the Eastern Zhejiang Navy under his command, and the dynasty first brought [-] Sichuan white soldiers..."

The more Li Yuchun heard it, the more surprised he became, but he didn't doubt it. After all, he was able to quickly annihilate more than 4000 horses in one day, and the opponent was definitely not weak.

Without any strength, how could he eat half of his troops in one day?
If Mr. Yan said that there were only 5000 people on the other side, he would never believe it. Now that there are so many people, and there are so many generals and veterans, he is convinced.

"The thieves have already surrounded Zhujiazhuang on all sides. The students received an order earlier. They were going to attack Zhujiazhuang together. The plan was to use boats and wooden rafts to transport the soldiers from the lake to the river beaches around Zhujiazhuang, and then put guns, bows and arrows on the boats. , the infantry marched forward in arrays of shield chariots and long spears, pushed to the front of the village, and approached and strangled step by step."

hiss!
Li Yuchun was a little panicked, isn't this the magic weapon for my Qing soldiers to deal with the Ming army?
Especially before entering the customs, the Ming army had sharp guns and numerous soldiers and horses, while the Eight Banners soldiers had no artillery and guns at that time, and cavalry and shooting against the Ming army's vehicle and artillery formations often caused heavy casualties. Later, the Eight Banners changed their tactics and tried to besiege the city. In field battles, shield vehicles must be used first.

The Eight Flags fought on horseback, pushing the shield chariot forward, relying on the shield chariot to withstand the shooting of guns, bows and arrows. After approaching, they rushed into the Ming army with swords, shields, guns and axes, and defeated the Ming army with their fierce melee advantage.

Especially in the future, the Qing army actually used this tactic to deal with the fortified city, captured a large number of strong men, and dug trenches to besiege the city to block reinforcements.To deal with the Ming army in the field, they seldom use methods such as cavalry and shooting, and mostly engage in dismounted combat.

However, they have a lot of horses. Even if they no longer focus on riding and shooting, their maneuverability on horseback is still far superior to that of the Ming army, so they will engage in tactics such as maneuvering interspersed, outflanking and outflanking, so that they can always grasp the strategic initiative.

After decades of fighting, the trump card of the Qing army has become maneuvering on horseback, dismounting and fighting on foot. In the past, the trump card of the Ming army against the Qing army was first the fortress and the second was the formation of chariots, but the Qing army found a way to crack them. .

Unexpectedly, the Ming army is going to use my Qing Dynasty's shield chariot tactics to attack them now.

Li Yuchun would not be afraid if he had five thousand and eight banners under his command. The problem is that there are only five hundred and eight banners soldiers. The remaining 4000 or so real elite guards are no more than a few hundred, and the old battalion is no more than a thousand. The rest are basically new recruits with weapons. Not complete, most of them have never seen blood.

This Zhujiazhuang is not a castle, but a landlord's village, with a wall as high as one person, very thin, with neither trenches nor arrow towers.

If you really want tens of thousands of people from the other side to besiege, it is actually the same as being attacked when camping in the wild.

"General, although there are many thieves, the soldiers and horses are too scattered, especially the leader of the thieves, Zhu Wu, who is a rich man of the clan. With a battalion of his personal soldiers stationed by the Mayao Lake less than ten miles away from the rate, if we can take the initiative to attack, kill him by surprise, and capture the thief first and capture the king, we will surely catch them by surprise. Wu is ready to capture. If Zhu Wu, the chief general, is captured, there will be chaos in the bandit camp."

"At that time, the students will join forces with loyal and brave gentry relatives and friends to stir up trouble in the rear, and falsely claim that the Hangzhou army is coming to help. At that time, the bandits will be in chaos and the army will be defeated!"

"Not only will the siege be resolved, but also the king can be captured and the commander defeated. Wouldn't it be a great achievement to defeat an enemy ten times stronger?"

My father Yan suggested that it is best to attack at night.

This will not only increase the concealment and suddenness of the action, but also the night will be dark and the wind will be high, which will make it easier to create chaos.

It can be said that Yan Wogong has planned everything for Li Yuchun. Li Yuchun couldn't help feeling that this is really a grass hut. They all have to quote the scriptures of Pian Si Li Liu from the classics.

But what he needs more is actually the kind of talent who can help with planning, handling official documents, and planning money and food.

"Mr. Yan is really resourceful, loyal and brave. I am determined to ask Governor Zhang of Hangzhou, Zongzhi Tian and Boluo Belle for your credit. I think that with the talent of Mr. Yan, being a magistrate of Jiaxing would be aggrieved. After the success, How about wronging Mr. Yan to be the magistrate of Jiaxing, our civil and military partners!"

After praising him a lot, Li Yuchun asked Yan Wogong to send his son and nephew back to contact the gentlemen according to the plan, and then he kept Yan Wogong. This is the credit for capturing the false admiral Zhu Wu.

Actually, it's just having multiple minds and keeping a hostage.

Yan Wogong readily agreed.

Li Yuchun looked very relieved.

"If you want to capture the thief and capture the king, you have to invite the adults of Manchuria to dispatch. Let's go and pay a visit to Jishiha together."

Ji Shiha was drinking with his arms around a poor woman, and he didn't look very good at Li Yuchun who came to bother him, thinking that this guy was just an idiot, and he was on an errand, but he was still surrounded.

Although Ji Shiha didn't care too much about it, he felt a little uncomfortable being trapped in Zhujiazhuang without a steady stream of fresh playthings.

Li Yuchun went forward and poured Jishiha a glass of wine to make amends, and then told Yan Wogong's plan, "The counterfeit thief is very rampant, please lead the Manchu soldiers to raid at night and capture Zhu Wu!"

Ji Shi rolled his eyes, "No, I have to go by myself!"

Li Yuchun was stunned, "The general is none other than the general, and only the general and the five hundred soldiers from Manchuria under your command were able to capture that Zhu Wu by surprise. Seal half of your future."

In the early Qing Dynasty, the title of title and the world position were set together. There were five nobles in the order of merit, with the first, second and third ranks of the public, and the ranks of Angbang Zhangjing, Meile Zhangjing, Zhalan Zhangjing, and Niulu Zhangjing, and the lowest rank was also called half a future.

When you accumulate two and a half futures, you will be promoted to the first class, and then you can add half a future, and when you add up to four, you will be a second class. This special half future title reflects the system of the early Qing Dynasty. Simple.

Later, half of Qiancheng changed its Chinese name to Yunqiwei, and two Yunqiwei were promoted to Qiduwei, and then promoted to be Qiduwei and Yunqiwei, plus another Yunqiwei, to be the second-class Qiduwei .Add half the future, and you will be the third-class captain of light vehicles.

In this way, the titles of the Qing Dynasty have an unprecedented feature. The titles of each class are not only divided into grades, but also have half the future. Add up to 26 grades, as long as you save up to 26 and a half futures, you will be a first-class public.

However, at this time in the second year of Shunzhi, half of the future has not been changed to Yunqiwei, and the title of Spyker is tied, but even the lowest half of the future is actually quite rare.

In the Nurhachi era, the ranks were directly tied to Niulu. Depending on the grade, each rank received a different number of Niulu.

After Huang Taiji came to power, he paid more attention to the integration of Manchu and Han. Because a large number of surrendered generals were recruited, the official system of official positions became chaotic. Huang Taiji reformed them. Not only did the names of the official positions change, but all the quasi-hereditary ones were also added with non-hereditary ones. the difference.

The world position obtained by military merit is allowed to be inherited, the higher the world position, the longer the time of succession, and the number of times of succession has been added, while the world position obtained by talent is not allowed to inherit.

He later changed the set of full-time job titles set by Nurhachi to the titles of generals and generals, and changed them all to full-time titles, such as various Zhang Jing, etc., and also distinguished between official titles and world titles. In the past, the post was divided into cattle records, but now the official and post are separated.

Half Qiancheng, which was originally the lowest official position assigned to half Niulu, was called Banbeiyu in the past, and later called Half Niulu Zhangjing, and then referred to as Half Qiancheng.

Although there is no longer a direct connection between official and position, every future is made with one knife and one gun, especially the world position, which can be hereditary to the descendants.Even if half of the career is low, even if it can only be hereditary for three or four generations, or one or two generations, it is still very precious.

Don't look at Ji Shiha with the title of a third-class Lazhangjing, but this is only his official in the army, equivalent to a guerrilla general, and he has no half-promising career.

It is not easy to earn a hereditary future.

These days, the generals of the Eight Banners are conferred titles, and even the Ming generals who have not yet surrendered have an advantage. Those generals of the Ming Dynasty surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. Promotion to rank, for example, Wu Sangui was named Pingxi Bo by Chongzhen, and he became King Pingxi as soon as he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

There are several such kings and dukes.

For example, King Sanshun.

Ji Shiha pushed the woman in his arms away, and stroked his beard, "Okay, for the sake of half the future, I have to go through it."
