Chapter 246: Waiting and waiting, sending uncle as hostage

After capturing the entire tea shop and the Ming army camp, Liu Sheng learned that Wang Yongzuo, the governor of Yunyang, had committed suicide, and he felt a little regretful - if Wang Yongzuo had been demoted, the number of Ming officials who had been demoted would have broken the record again.

Liu Sheng had no impression of this person, which shows that this person was not a famous person in history, but just an ordinary loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty.

Ma Shimin, the military counselor, reported the matter and couldn't help but suggest: "Commander, this Wang Yongzuo can be considered a loyal and upright minister. Should he be buried with dignity?"

Liu Sheng was displeased when he heard this, "Why should he be buried in such a generous way? He was loyal to the Ming Dynasty, not our tribe. If he was buried in a dignified manner, wouldn't it encourage other Ming Dynasty officials to follow his example and resist to the death?"
It would be nice if we didn't cut off his head to intimidate other Ming soldiers - send the order and just find a place to bury him near Liangshui Spring. "

Although Ma Shimin lamented Wang Yongzuo's experience, he did not dare to say anything more. He said "yes" and went to do it.

After the Kuaibu department cleaned up the battlefield, the post-war statistics and battle reports of each department were also sent to Liu Sheng.

In this battle, which involved tens of thousands of people from both sides, Kueibu suffered only more than 200 casualties - 37 were killed, 53 were seriously injured, and the rest were lightly injured.

Seriously speaking, the losses in this battle of Weibu were less than 100 people.

The Ming army did not actually die in many battles, only more than 300 people - including some who were seriously injured and difficult to treat.

If someone can be saved, the medical soldiers of the Ministry of Health will usually carry them back for treatment.If there is no help, just give him a break.

Therefore, the final statistics of the Ming army's wounded soldiers were more than 2000, and most of them were slightly injured in the artillery bombardment of the Kueibu.

Counting the wounded, more than 5000 Ming troops were captured!

In addition, more than 3000 stones of grain and grass were seized, as well as several weapons, armor, gunpowder, vehicle frames and other materials.

After reading the battle report, Liu Sheng saw the sun setting in the west, so he ordered to set up camp and fight again tomorrow...
Yunyang Bingdao Gao Doushu led two to three thousand rural soldiers and stationed with Wang Guangen's troops at Hekoudian on Jiangzhou Island.

This is the intersection of Shazhou River and Han River, which is very important.

The straight-line distance between Hekoudian Camp and Tea Shop Camp is only four or five miles.

Therefore, when the Kuei army attacked the tea shop camp, the Hekou shop camp saw it.

There were many boats and even several warships in the Ming army camp in Hekoudian.At this time, the widest point of Shazhou River is only about [-] steps, which is less than one mile.

In other words, the Hekoudian Camp can send troops to support the Tea Shop Camp.

But since they are defending in separate camps, there is no reason to send reinforcements to Hekou Store as soon as the tea shop camp is attacked - if this is really the case, the camp should not be divided into two camps in the first place.

Therefore, when the Kueibu bombarded the tea shop, Gao Doushu and Wang Guangen were waiting patiently.When the Yi army was unable to attack the tea shop camp for a long time and the division veterans were tired, they sent out troops again and defeated the Yi army in one fell swoop.

After vaguely hearing the sound of six or seven rounds of artillery, they waited and waited, but for a long time they did not see the tea shop camp lighting the promised beacon signal. Instead, they saw the follow-up troops of the Yi tribe landing from the front and back of the tea shop camp.

After hearing the news reported by the sentry boat, guerrilla Wang Guangen couldn't help but guess, "Could it be that the tea shop camp has been captured by the bandits?"

"Impossible!" Gao Doushu directly denied, "There are nearly 1 officers and soldiers there, including more than 3000 cavalry. There are more than a dozen general cannons, flanges and other cannons, and there are also one or two hundred tiger crouching cannons. , and there is a camp to defend, and it will never be easily broken by the bandit army!"

Wang Guangen frowned and said, "But the rebel army has landed from the north of the tea shop. If we don't send troops, the rebel army will definitely circle to the west side of the tea shop. Even if we want to reinforce, we may not be able to do it."

Gao Doushu was actually very unsure about this battle in his heart, but on the surface he was calm and said: "Wang Guerrilla, we only have one chance, that is when the bandit army has been unable to attack the tea shop camp for a long time and exposed its flaws.

If we go early and make the rebels wary, it will be difficult to find a good opportunity to win.So you have to be steady, do you understand? "

The situation was unclear, and Wang Guangen actually didn't want to take any risks, so he said no more and said, "The general will understand."

When the sun was about to set, Gao Douguang was already panicking, but he still sat on the wall of the village and made tea to show his calmness.

His ears twitched slightly from time to time, trying to hear the movement in the southeast through the roaring river water, but found that he could not hear anything - the sound of artillery had long since disappeared, and it seemed that the battle was over.

When Gao Doushu could hardly sit still, there was a sudden noise from the southwest of the camp.

After a while, Wang Guangen's servant came hurriedly.

"Gaodaotai, our guerrillas please go to the south gate of the camp quickly!"

Gao Doushu quickly stood up and followed the servant.

On the way, he couldn't help but ask: "What happened?"

The servant whispered: "A broken army came around from the southwest and said that the tea shop camp was breached by the bandit army an hour ago."

"How is that possible?!" Gao Doushu exclaimed when he heard this and almost fell down. Fortunately, he quickly caught him with his own hands and quick eyes.

"My guerrillas can't tell whether this is true or false, so we have temporarily blocked the news and asked Gao Daotai to come and identify it."

As a soldier, Gao Doushu had a certain understanding of the officers and soldiers of each department.

He came to the gate tower of Nanzhai and hurriedly took a look at the more than a hundred defeated soldiers below. When he saw a few familiar generals among them, he was basically sure of the matter.

After going down and asking about the fall of the tea shop camp, Gao Doushu couldn't help but said bitterly: "That Xu Yong has more than 3000 cavalry. He didn't know how to take the initiative to attack. As a general, he was the first to escape. It's really hateful!"

Wang Guangen was from the Shaanxi Peasant Army and was not from the same group as Xu Yong. At this time, he did not judge Xu Yong's behavior. He only asked: "The tea shop camp was lost in one day. What should we do now?"

Gao Doushu analyzed the intelligence provided by the defeated troops and said: "The tea shop was lost not only because Xu Yong was timid in fighting, but also because we underestimated the ferocity of the rebel artillery.

Therefore, whether the bandit army attacks Hekou Store first or Dafengcang in Yushan Mountain tomorrow, we cannot wait any longer.When one side is attacked, the other side must immediately send troops to form a pincer attack with the help of geographical advantages.

If this matter is not explained clearly, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince Li Wanqing and Li Maochun. I must go to the North Bank in person! "After saying that, Gao Doushu had a hurried dinner and took a boat to the north bank. He successively looked for Xu Qiyuan, Li Wanqing and Li Maochun to explain the situation, and strictly ordered Li Wanqing and Li Maochun to send troops in time tomorrow so as not to delay the war opportunity.

What Gao Doushu didn't know was that after he returned to Hekoudian camp, a small boat crossed the Han River at night and was intercepted by a boat patrolling the river...
at night.

Liu Sheng was reviewing military documents in the big account.

It's a pity that there is no red sleeves to add fragrance, only Ma Shimin and a few clerks from the secretariat are following the work.

Suddenly there was a strange noise outside, and soon the guard captain who was guarding the main tent said: "Commander, the [-]th brigade intercepted a boat while patrolling the river. After interrogation, the two people on board were the servants of Ming general Li Maochun. "

The general's servant?
Liu Sheng's heart moved, he came out and asked: "Where are they? Have they told them their purpose?"

"Li Maochun intends to surrender. They are here to discuss and communicate. They are just outside the camp gate."

"bring it here."

"Yes."

Liu Sheng returned to the big tent. Not long after he sat down, two men in black shorts were brought into the big tent.

Seeing Liu Sheng, the two of them immediately prostrated themselves: "Greetings, Marshal Liu!"

In this case, if the two of them were willing to kneel down, Liu Sheng would naturally not let them get up and asked: "Who are you Li Maochun?"

One person said: "The younger one is Li Guoji Jiading, General Wang Shangjiu."

Another person said: "The younger one is Li Youji's brother-in-law, Liu Baotong."

Liu Sheng did not worry about the authenticity of the two people's identities, but recalled the information about Li Maochun collected by Xunfengwei.

Li Maochun, one of the former leaders of the Shaanxi Peasant Army, was not as well-known as Huaguansuo Wang Guangen, and even less famous than Li Wanqing, who shot down the sky, so much so that the Xunfeng Guards were not able to find out his original nickname.

I only know that there are about 3000 people under this man. They were previously stationed in Zhushan County, Yunyang. The military discipline is poor and the combat effectiveness of the troops is low, so they can only defeat local bandits who are not good at it.

Generally speaking, the more greedy and incompetent a general is, the more afraid of death he is and the more likely he is to rebel.

Therefore, it makes sense that Li Maochun learned that the Ming Army's tea shop camp was breached in one day, so he made an appointment overnight to surrender.

"Tell me, what does Li Youyi think?"

Wang Shangjiu was obviously the "chief envoy". He licked his lips and bravely asked: "If my guerrillas surrender, what kind of official position can the commander give me?"

Liu Sheng smiled and said, "It depends on how he behaves."

Wang Shangjiu gritted his teeth and said: "My guerrilla family has said that if the commander lands from the north bank tomorrow, we can cooperate and steal Li Wanqing's ass."

"Why should I trust you?"

Wang Shangjiu pointed at Liu Baotong next to him, "This one, come here, shows the sincerity of my family's guerrillas!"

Liu Baotong trembled, but still nodded: "Yes, yes, I am willing to stay as a hostage."

Liu Sheng said: "You go back and tell Li Youyi that the camera will be there tomorrow. As long as he can make meritorious service, I will at least give him the position of regiment leader."

Wang Shangjiu was stunned and asked: "May I ask Marshal Liu, what is the position of this regiment leader?"

"It's equivalent to the Ming Dynasty General."

Wang Shangjiu was overjoyed when he heard this and kowtowed: "Thank you so much, Marshal Liu!"

After Wang Shangjiu was sent away and Liu Baotong was taken down to settle down, Ma Shimin couldn't help but ask: "The commander-in-chief doesn't believe this Li Maochun?"

Ma Shimin is indeed smart.

If Liu Sheng believed Li Maochun, he would immediately give a definite answer and attack Li Wanqing's department first.Now Li Maochun's camera is only allowed to move, which is obviously a sign of distrust.

Liu Sheng smiled and said, "It's not that I don't believe it, but that there is no need to believe it."

"If Li Maochun performs meritorious service, will the commander really make him the leader?"

"Why not? I didn't say whether he is the commander of the standing army or the commander of the garrison or the militia. Besides, even if he becomes our rebel army, he must abide by the military regulations of our army. If he cannot abide by the military regulations, I will You won’t be polite.”

Ma Shimin just couldn't stand someone like Li Maochun asking such a question. Hearing Liu Sheng's words, his eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "I understand."

Little did he know that Liu Sheng didn't hate the Ming army's surrendered generals, he just hated the generals and troops with poor discipline who harmed the people...

The next day.

After breakfast.

On the Han River, thousands of boats are vying for the current!
Amidst the sound of trumpets, more than a dozen warships worth [-] to [-] yuan served as the leader and launched an attack on the Ming Army's Hekou Camp on Jiangzhou Island!

　According to the information, the civil and military generals of Yunyang Mansion in the late Ming Dynasty performed pretty well, so it was not until the Qing army entered the pass that Wu Sangui deceived some of them (Wang Guangen and Xu Qiyuan) into surrendering. However, Wang Guangxing later insisted on resisting the Qing Dynasty for more than [-] years.
