I have a cornucopia

Chapter 140 National Heroes

Soon General Qiu came with a group of soldiers in an imposing manner.

Of course, he knelt down before Dutang as soon as he arrived.

So he still knows the rules.

This is said to be one of the reasons that led to Zuo Liangyu's betrayal. Zuo Liangyu and Zuo Liangyu were close friends in life and death. To be precise, they were caught stealing horses together when they were soldiers. Then he carried it out with loyalty, and was imprisoned for it. , later Zuo Liangyu was appreciated by Hou Xun, and finally rose to prominence with the help of diplomacy, and spent money to get him out of prison.

And because he had read books, he abandoned literature and joined martial arts...

A Weiji literati from Liaodong.

No future.

After all, there were only a few dozen Jinshis in Liaodong for more than two hundred years.

But it was appreciated by Yuandu Du.

Qiu Lei quickly raised his head and looked at Yang Feng with a smile on his face.

Qiu Lei shouted while struggling to get up.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said with fear.

Of course he would also expand quickly.

The military merit reward will not be short of one tael of silver for you.

Qiu Lei quickly kowtowed and said that he must change his ways.

he shouted happily.

Yang Feng looked down at him.

In fact, it was not just a simple defeat of troops in Liaodong. It can be seen from the names of some of his officers during the Songjin period that he actually had Qing deserters and Mongols under him. In short, his men actually wiped out a lot of chaos in Liaodong. A group of desperadoes who can be said to be both soldiers and bandits. The last time the Qing army went south, he was still the deputy general of Liaodong, and he was among the officers and soldiers rescuing Shandong. Historically, he was appointed by Hongguang as the commander-in-chief of Shandong, but he had a grudge against Liu Zeqing and was killed by Liu Zeqing. Of course, it's not just about hatred. After all, Liu Zeqing wants to be a warlord, and Qiu Lei, who has hatred, is the commander-in-chief of Shandong. It is obvious that Hong Guangchao wants to put a nail in his side, and he will kill Qiu even for profit. Lei.

After Yuandudu was shot, he mingled in the Ming army, including participating in the Battle of Songjin. His official position was the deputy general of Liaodong, and his troops were all defeated soldiers of Liaodong. Therefore, military discipline was extremely poor, and he was scared wherever he passed. Hurry and close the city gate, just like the plague god passing through.

Yang Feng looked at the shocked soldiers, sneered, turned around and walked to him again.

We will not be short of military pay.

The next moment Yang Dutang kicked him.

Well, he is actually Yuan Dudu’s promoted confidant.

Just an ordinary general soldier.

But you must do what you should do well. If you continue to do what you did in the past, I will not punish you lightly. This sword of Shangfang will see blood. "

The meal will keep you full.

"General Qiu, you don't want to ask me why I kicked you, do you?"

This didn't happen.

"Shao Bao, the last general knows his crime. The last general should not wait and watch from behind during the battle. The last general deserves death. The last general only asks Shao Bao to give him another chance. The last general is willing to take the blame and perform meritorious service for Shao Bao." Follow the work of dogs and horses."

So just like when he flattered those governors in the past, he knelt down to Yang Dutang without hesitation when they met...

"That's good. You Liao people have been fighting for the country so far, and you can be considered loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty. But I also know that you all have some problems, but I can't blame you entirely. After all, the officers and soldiers were like this in the past, but now you can see When it comes to the consequences, if the officers and soldiers had not been willing to protect themselves and support the bandits, why would the Ming Dynasty be like this? Your Majesty is hunting in the west. The country is in danger. We ministers must all take it seriously. We cannot continue to do what we did in the past.

""Don't be rude! "

Yang Feng said.

Qiu Lei quickly kowtowed.

As for the Qing army’s night attack that night…

Of course, there is no Liu Zeqing now. Instead, Qiu Lei was left by Lu Zhenfei on the way south and became Liu Zeqing's Huai'an commander in history. However, because of the existence of Yang Feng, it is impossible to become a warlord like Liu Zeqing.

If you follow me now, you should do what I should do.

Qiu Zude looked deeply at Qiu Lei who left with the support of his own soldiers.

But then Hong Guangchao's weak response aroused Zuo Liangyu's anger...

They are all people who crawled out from the dead. It can be said that they have survived a hundred battles.

It's hard to say whether it was because of his diplomatic power, but in the memorials mentioned by Ming Dynasty officials, he was said to be a good speaker, and he could also be said to be good at flattering.

You will not be short of compensation for casualties either.

"Feng Sheng is giving him a fortune!"

"I have seen Shaobao at last. Shaobao is brave and invincible. He is truly a man of heaven!"

Yang Feng smiled calmly.

Qiu Lei was kicked backwards and then hit the ground hard. The soldiers behind him were angry and subconsciously drew their swords, but then Yang Feng appeared in front of them. The one who had just drawn his sword had not yet reacted. He slapped her on the ground, and then her neck was twisted.

And this also proves that Hong Guangchao really has no ability to control the towns in Jiangbei.

Of course, what he will do in the future is another matter. It is difficult to change this kind of veteran who has been in the army for more than 20 years, but at least he has to show off next time. And Yang Feng was just giving him a lesson. After all, he was quite capable in fighting, and he still had hundreds of elite men, all of whom could fight against Baya Lahu in the Qing army.

This is his real life and death relationship.

Yang Feng said.

For such a heavily-armed group that already knows that it will not retreat, a night attack is of no use. After all, this is not our imperial army of the Song Dynasty on the bank of the Yellow River. They can be frightened into collapse by Lou Shi beating a drum in his barracks in the middle of the night. Moreover, the Qing army also suffered heavy losses during the day, with more than 4,000 casualties. Especially Yang Feng's ferocity made them frightened. All the ministries were a little scared, so the Qing army was on guard against Yang Feng crossing the river to attack them.

After all, if Yang Feng really did this, it would be difficult for them to stop this monster.

Of course, Yang Feng didn't do this either.

His followers also suffered heavy losses!
Of his 3,000 retinue, 400 were killed in battle. He indeed charged with great momentum, but his retinue's pure combat effectiveness was only about the same as that of the Qing Army's Eight Banners Manchuria. Even the quality of individual soldiers was not as good as that of Baya Lahu. He is just the core of the impact. If he continues to fight like this, the so-called private army in his hands will be wasted on the battlefield, and this is his supervising team and cannot continue to be wasted. In the end, after the first day of fierce fighting, both sides stopped. Then they continued to confront each other across the Majia River. At the same time, they sent cavalry to each other to attack each other's logistics. The Qing army's attack on Dezhou also stopped and turned into a continuous siege. .

War becomes a bloodbath.

but……

This is what Yang Feng wants. What would Dorgon use to fight for blood bars with him?

In order to collect grain, Azig has fallen into the quagmire of resistance, and the hard-core crops that continue to enter the customs are all waiting for his grain with their mouths open. Duduo's side revealed that hundreds of thousands of troops were blocked in Texas, and people were eating horses and chewing every day, which also required Lots of food.

And what is behind Yang Feng?
With the fishing and canning processing all over the coast, canned fish can be safely transported directly to Po Tai by sea, and then transported from Po Tai to the plains more than two hundred miles away under the protection of the cavalry he personally led. Rice transported by water from the south is also transported to Putai by sea. At this time, shipping is smooth in the lower reaches of the Daqing River, and Putai is the main water and land terminal. Moreover, Putai is behind the entire front line. To attack Putai, the Qing cavalry needs to cross many rivers in northern Shandong, and then pass through many fortified counties. Because of the last massacre, this area also has the deepest hatred for the Qing army. Yes, it can be said to be extremely dangerous.

Of course, there's really no way to go into it.

Because Yang Feng has demolished all the bridges across these rivers in other places except for the routes needed to maintain transportation.

The water volume in these rivers has begun to increase this season...

There are actually tides.

The Lubei sea tide can even reach Binzhou and Qingyun areas. The current impact is small because the large influx of sediment after the Yellow River changed its course has moved the coastline forward. At this time, there was no corner of Dongying in Shandong, and the sea tide could directly push it to Puzhou. The Tai, Qingyun, and Yangxin areas turn large and small rivers into vast oceans.

half a month later.

"Everyone, you see, Jianlu is not scary. As long as we don't run away, they won't be able to break through our defenses.

We can't even attack our city. "

Yang Feng stood on the bank of the Majia River and said to the sages from Jiangnan who came to observe.

All celebrities.

Chen Zilong, Shen Tingyang, He Gang...

Among them, He Gang was sent by Shi Kefa. He was originally Shi Kefa's staff. Historically, he and Shi Kefa died in Yangzhou together. This was when Song Jicheng sent Gao Hongtu and others south to take office. At the same time, he went to Nanjing to raise funds on behalf of the Shandong Tongshan Association, and then put himself in Fuzhou. All the old friends from the society and several societies came with encouragement.

These are also the main supporters of the current team training in Jiangnan. For example, Shen Tingyang used his Shachuan Gang to form a team training team of more than a thousand people, and named it Changsheng Camp, which is worse than Changsheng Army. Because he is a sand ship sailor, he is comparable to the Marine Corps. Relying on the support of the gentry in Taicang and other places, his weapons are small red barbarian cannons and turtle dove guns, and the largest turtle dove gun is one or two or eight coins. Now they all seem to be rejuvenated. Chen Zilong is also recruiting soldiers in Songjiang to form a Changjie Battalion of 2,000 people. As for the Dingsheng Battalion established by Xu Du in Zhejiang, it has 5,000 people and the latest weapons. Two guns, these guys all have sufficient financial resources.

Those supporters behind them, if you pick any one of them, they are extremely wealthy.

For example, the main supporter behind Chen Zilong is the Xu family.

His deputy was also a close friend of life and death, namely Xu Fuyuan of the Xu family, a descendant of Xu Jie's brother Xu Zhi, and Xu Nianzu, Xu Jie's great-grandson, was also a supporter. The latter committed suicide after the fall of Songjiang and his family.

Xia Yunyi is also there.

At this moment, these young men, who are considered the backbone of Jiangnan scholars, or should be considered all future national heroes, are silently looking at the rotten black battlefield in front of them. During this period, the Qing army made several small-scale attempts, but they all failed in the end. Duduo also pretended to attack Dongchang, trying to attract Yang Feng to divide his troops, but Yang Feng refused to move, while Yu Qi led the defenders and the city. The knights of Confucius and Mencius were still young and strong, and they defended Dongchang for three days. In the end, Duduo retreated with hatred. The troops he sent to conduct in-depth raids even reached as far as Jinan, but they could not cross because of the obstruction of the Daqing River. Instead, they were raided by Jin Shenghuan and his servants during the retreat, leaving more than two hundred dead bodies.

In short, Yang Feng's strategy is very simple. You have hundreds of tricks at your disposal, and my 60,000-strong army will just form a group.

Then the supplies were stored in Pingyuan City.

Protect the logistics line from behind.

The Daqing River runs across it, cutting off the war zone so that the rear area will not be affected in any way.

The same goes for the Western Front.

After all, the Qing army could not cross the Luxi water network.

Wang Zuntan, who was sent by Yang Feng to defend Caozhou, stayed there. The Governor of Sichuan in the Qing Dynasty still showed strength consistent with his official position and relied on the support of Xuzhou to always hold on. However, Liu Yuanqing, who had recovered from his injuries in Caozhou, was helping him defend the city. Ma Shiying had even appointed Gao Jie as the commander-in-chief of Henan Province to go north and enter Henan, which could be said to have a power vacuum at this time.

As for Xu Dingguo...

Da Qing has just seen the Yellow River. He wants to welcome Master Wang, but there is no way to do so.

A defense line starting from Shandong Province and extending westward to the Yellow River is being formed.

The Qing Dynasty was trapped in the closed area of ​​the Yellow River, Taihang, and Canal, and had to face the resistance of the gentry. The only one who made a breakthrough was King Pingxi of the Western Expedition. Wu Sangui had already easily captured Xuanda and moved south to Taiyuan. , Shanxi merchants were all as happy as Mu Ganlin to welcome King Pingxi. However, he also had his own troubles. Jiang Quan was not convinced by him, and Dorgon was preparing to crown Jiang Quan the king in order to suppress Wu Sangui. There were already three Han kings in the Qing Dynasty, and it would not be a big deal to add one more. What's more, Dorgon also knows how much help he will receive once Xuandajiangmen supports him.

"Young Master is the mainstay of our Ming Dynasty!"

Chen Zilong said with emotion.

Others echoed.

The current situation was formed because Yang Feng blocked Duduo.

Once Texas is opened, you will know what the Shandong gentry will choose.

The latter still insisted on resisting because Dezhou's persistence gave them hope. Once Dezhou could not hold on, they would immediately prepare to welcome the king's army, and then the Qing army would drive south along the canal. At that time, the North Zhili gentry would Stop resisting immediately...

No need.

As long as he helps Dorgon fight to the south of the Yangtze River, the latter will also have food.

The fundamental contradiction no longer exists.

"I don't want to be the mainstay, Yang just doesn't want his hometown to be stained with fishy smell again.

But Yang didn’t know how long he could hold on.

After all, this corner of Shandong cannot continue to be fought like this. So far, this battle has cost millions in military pay, and tens of thousands have been killed. If we continue to fight, our financial resources and youth will be exhausted. By then, I am afraid that the war situation will be worse. Collapse. "

Yang Feng said.

Chen Zilong and others looked at each other.

This means you have to pay more!

"Shaobao, if that's the case, why don't you make an exchange with Jianlu first? As long as they send the prince south, Shaobao will also withdraw the troops from Ninghai City."

He Gang asked tentatively.

Yang Feng smiled slightly.

So this is the real purpose of their trip, or the real purpose of the Nanjing court headed by Shi Kefa.

"What about the capital? Can Dorgon withdraw from the capital and retreat outside the customs? Which is more important, the prince, or the ancestral temple and the country?"

He said.

He Gang was speechless.

Indeed, if it were just to hand over the prince in exchange for Yang Feng's withdrawal from Ninghai City, then Dorgon would probably agree. But the problem is that the Qing army occupied the capital and it was impossible for them to withdraw outside the pass. In this case, which one is more important, the prince or the Ming Dynasty? Is the ancestral temple and the country important?
