Win the Ding 1617

Old Man Time has just entered the first month of the ninth year of Chongzhen, and the land of Ming Dynasty is full of flames of war.The peasant army Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng led their troops to encircle Luzhou in the east and take Hanshan and Hezhou.On the sixth day, the company attacked Chuzhou for dozens of miles.On the eighth day of the eighth day, Prime Minister Lu Xiangsheng led the general army Zu Kuan, guerrilla Luo Dai and other Taoist soldiers to assist Chuzhou, and fought against the peasant army at Wuli Bridge in the east of the city.The farmer's army was unfavorable in the battle, and the company and battalion were all defeated. They retreated fifty miles north and were cut off more than [-] steps.

After the defeat of the Peasant Army, Beidu forced Sizhou and Xuzhou to return to Henan.

On the tenth day of February, the soldiers stationed in Ningxia mutinied because of the payment of soldiers.The hungry soldiers besieged the government office.Governor Youqian Capital Yushi Wang Ji couldn't afford the salary, and the hungry soldiers demanded the salary, so he agitated and killed him.Ding Qirui, the deputy envoy of military preparations, led the army to retaliate, captured the seven leaders, and executed them immediately, so the mutiny was appeased.

On February 670th, Governor Lu Xiangsheng won the victory, beheaded [-] six levels, and captured more than [-] horses and mules.

In March, a riot occurred in Shanxi.When people are hungry for food, they have to eat bark and grass leaves.When the bark and grass leaves are exhausted, people eat each other.Nanyang, Henan, which is close to Shanxi, also experienced famine.Wang Yu of the Tang Dynasty played keyboards in Nanyang, Henan Province, and there were some mothers who cooked their daughters to eat.Chongzhen issued an edict to distribute [-] gold to Shanxi and Nanyang, and exempted the old and new salaries of the disaster-stricken counties in Shanxi.

On April [-]th, Jin Guohan Huang Taiji, who obtained the Jade Seal from Chahar Lindan Khan, proclaimed himself emperor under the persuasion of the kings, changed the Yuan to Chongde, and took this year as the first year of Chongde; changed the name of the country to "Jin" "Great Qing"; changed the name of the family to "Manchuria"; (this day is the gold awarding day of the Manchus today.) Shenyang is the capital.The honorary title is "Kuan Wen Ren Sheng Emperor." The next day, Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty led a hundred officials to sacrifice to the Taimiao, and honored his father Nurhachi as "Emperor of Ji Ren Xiao Wu who inherits the heaven, Guangyun, Shengde and Shengong", and the temple name is Taizu; Enshrined as king.Ten days later, Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty sealed off his subjects.His brothers and nephews, the foreign vassals of Mongolia Baylor, and the Ming generals Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi were all crowned kings.

The people in the Nanzhong Army's jurisdiction naturally don't know about things that are thousands of miles away. In this era of extremely underdeveloped information transmission, it takes ten and a half months to receive a letter from Yanjing to Nanjing Kuaima. What's more, the land of the Central Plains, which is almost thousands of miles away from me?

People here are still busy celebrating the New Year, enjoying the harvest fruits brought to them by labor. In the first month, people invite each other to eat spring wine, visit and pay New Year's greetings.That is, the official slaves and Japanese laborers in the forest farms, mines, and shipyards all got wine, meat and vegetables to show them my Chinese mind.In the first half of the first month, almost all of Nanzhong was enveloped by the aroma of wine and meat, which made people feel drunk.

In the first month, apart from the sacrificial offerings and New Year's greetings with officials and generals, Shou Han plunged into the camp affairs office to sort out the northbound affairs with Wang Bao. [

Shouhan selected elite battalion leaders from the major battalions of Jinwei, Fenghuang, Qilin, and Xuanwu as the troops going north.For this reason, a special order was issued to carry out the evaluation according to the evaluation standards of the training regulations promulgated and implemented by the South China Army. If the number of soldiers who cannot reach the elite level exceeds [-]% of the number of troops, the battalion officers will punish them, dismiss them, and even deprive them of all positions and fields. .

For a time, the entire Southern Central Army was turned on their backs by Wang Bao's tormented people from October onwards in the eighth year of Chongzhen!

If the pikemen can't stab ten times per minute, they will be fined!Those who cannot stab the target at a distance of 20 meters will be fined!Those who stab the target not enough times will be fined!Those who fail to meet the three indicators are classified as second-class sergeants.Once you enter this roster, talk about the various benefits, even if you go to the canteen to eat, you must be ranked behind the elite!

The firecrackers are required to complete three shooting actions within 1 minute, starting from pulling out the gun head cap, loading the propellant, tamping the pellets, raising the gun, opening the fire door, and shooting. Shooting, and then reloading and shooting, after the individual soldier completes this requirement, the basic unit is gradually implemented upwards, one armor completes the requirement and the other team, and after the first team meets this standard, it is a sentry.

The hardest ones are the sword and shield soldiers and artillery soldiers.

In addition to requiring the sword and shield soldiers to complete several actions such as chopping, chopping, chopping, and stabbing within one minute, there is another task, which is to assist the artillery team in building artillery fortifications, and use the shovel and pickaxes carried by the artillery team to hoe Waiting for tools, digging soil, filling straw bags, and building up artillery fortifications.

"My lord, the artillery team has basically reached the assumption that the enemy cavalry can be found five miles away. It can be deployed within 5 minutes, ready for shooting within 10 minutes, and can be reloaded and fired once in 2 minutes. .”

"Where's the cavalry?" Shou Han is very concerned about the construction of the cavalry. Fighting near the capital, on the plain covered by the horizon, the enemy's cavalry attack will put a lot of psychological pressure on the infantry.In order not to be raided by enemy cavalry, he must also have at least one cavalry that can be used as a patrol side horse and serve as a scout.

"The subordinates have already sent an order to the Fulang Mountains, ordering Huang Yishan, who trains the cavalry in that area, to also select an elite sentry team, ship them to the north, and go to Hue for inspection. At the same time, the General's Mansion sent an official document to Hu Licheng of the livestock farm, [-] mules and horses were recruited to be used as pack loads going north."

"Mules and horses take up a lot of space on ships, and one mule and horse needs enough capacity to transport three cannons!"

Shou Han's words made Wang Bao a little ashamed. He didn't expect that these mules and horses would take up more space than cannons.Calculated in this way, more than 2000 mules and horses plus hundreds of horses and horses, this is a huge ship capacity!

"My lord, then, what you requested before is that you must carry enough rations for the entire army for one month. Can you consider reducing it? If you don't have so much rations, you can carry less vehicles, mules and horses to save money. Come luck."

Shou Han put down the abacus in his hand and glared at Wang Bao, "A Bao! You are so confused!"

According to Shou Han's idea, he plans to lead 3000 soldiers to the north, carrying artillery of less than [-] pounds, mainly six-pound, eight-pound and Dafo Lang machine, and carrying a batch of rockets that show off their might in the south. .In addition to [-] combat soldiers, there are at least [-] to [-] auxiliary personnel, and ships that meet the capacity of these personnel must use at least [-] sailors, which is the standard of more than [-] people.

Board a boat from Hue, Hejing and other places to cross the sea to the north. The Gyeonggi area has been suffering from famine for years.It is said that there is no food in a famine year, but if you know where there is food, an army of unknown origin, will the officials of the Ming Dynasty give you food?If those officials who kept the words of sages and sages in their mouths every day, and who were more vocal about their loyalty to the emperor than anyone else, would pay food, and the King Qin army formed by Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong would not collapse. [

"We bring more silver dollar cloth, can we buy it along the way?"

"useless!"

Li Peiting, who is familiar with the inside story of the Ming Dynasty's officialdom and the current disaster situation in the Mainland, shook his head like a rattle.

"If the army marches to a place where there are no people, how can we buy food? What's more, there are frequent disasters and disasters, where to buy food? At this time, silver dollars and cloth are all used. Rice, with the soldiers coming and going, the daily ration is one liter, half for the soldiers and half for the civilian husbands, and two buckets of food will be exhausted in ten days, regardless of whether there will be bandits within ten days? People carry it on their shoulders, ten thousand soldiers need to be carried on their shoulders, food is carried by soldiers, and within ten days they will all be exhausted."

It is rare for Pei Ting to speak in polite words, but these words convey the fact that if there are not enough means of transportation to carry food and fodder, the army defending the Han can only complete the worship offensive!

Seeing Shou Han frowning, everyone couldn't help but feel worried about the humiliation of his subjects.

Pei Ting dared to speak to him: "My lord, if it's too difficult, let's not go to Yanjing, let Lin Wenbing find someone to write a document there, and take some cloth, knives, guns, leopard skin, porcelain, etc. Yes, pay tribute to the Chongzhen children above, and the matter will be settled. We will be down-to-earth here in the south."

"No! If you have the conditions, you have to go, and if you don't have the conditions, you have to go!"

"Actually, let Lin Wenbing send whatever he wants in Yanjing, and we can easily win the title of a consolation envoy. Besides, our country was brought down by you and the others, my lord. We spelled it out in the wind, the fire, the mud, and the water, is there an imperial edict from his Chongzhen child, this Nanzhong belongs to us!"

"Pei Ting! Stop talking nonsense!"

Li Peilin understands Shou Han's thoughts better than his younger brother. Although he doesn't figure it out very thoroughly, he also knows that Shou Han's ambition is definitely not here, and he is definitely not a loyal minister of the Ming court. It's set on fire.So that government orders at all levels in Guangdong and Guangxi cannot go out of the city for ten miles?

"If 5000 troops cannot be guaranteed, then reduce the number of personnel!"

In desperation, Shou Han had no choice but to come up with this bad policy.

The original plan of 5000 people turned into no more than 500 people.Among them, the originally planned cavalry of more than a thousand people was compressed to six hundred cavalry, including one hundred elite scouts and five hundred cavalry. According to the establishment of the cavalry of the Nanzhong Army, it happened to be the strength of a battalion.

"The number of people can be reduced, but the spare horses of the cavalry cannot be reduced."

As a result, the number of horses in the cavalry team reached 720.

The next step is to calculate the horse feed consumption.

According to the type and weight of the horses, a 500-kilogram war horse must consume at least 300 catties of beans, 720 catties of hay, and a certain amount of salt every day to ensure its physical strength.Of course, there are not many such huge war horses in the Nanzhong Army, and most of them still weigh around [-] kilograms.A horse of this weight consumes at least [-] catties of hay and about [-] catties of bean fodder every day. Calculated in this way, for [-] war horses, the bean fodder alone is [-] catties a day, and the forage is even more. Fourteen thousand catties!

This is just a day's consumption of the cavalry!

"Soldiers are calculated based on the consumption of three catties of rations per person per day, which means that they consume [-] catties of grain per day, including meat, vegetables, oil, salt, charcoal, etc."

When discussing food, people's emotions are much more relaxed. After all, whether it is food or meat, they can be transported and stored in a centralized manner. They can be packed in sacks or wooden boxes to save space.Moreover, every ship must have ballast, and these grains and coal are the role of ballast!

In addition to food supplies, there are cannons and transport vehicles.

The cannons are easy to handle. Shouhan plans to refer to the British and barbarian practices during the first Opium War in history, disassemble and pack the cannons for transportation, and then assemble them when they land.For those four-wheel transport vehicles, also prepare to refer to this way of transport.

"Cannon, don't bring those [-]-pound cannons. This time, I will only bring the Dafolang machine and the [-]-pound cannon with me. The rest of the cannons are too aggressive and not convenient for marching."

After all the calculations, it still takes up the most capacity and space for panting!

According to the previous experience of transporting refugees and soldiers, a soldier needs at least two tons of transport capacity to ensure his health, and those war horses, mules and horses require even more capacity and space due to their size.Almost a war horse takes up about [-] tons of transport capacity, while the situation of mules and horses is slightly better, taking up about [-] tons of space.What is the concept of twenty tons?The rated transport capacity of a Jiefang truck is only five tons, and one horse will take up the capacity of four Jiefang trucks!

The numbers needed by these individuals are multiplied by the total number, and the required transport capacity will come out.

"My God!"

When his subordinates presented the astronomical capacity and ship demand calculated repeatedly to Shou Han, this word was the only word in Shou Han's mind!

"Why?! Why are they all traversers? Others can send hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops to conduct cross-sea expeditions to Europe and America, but I just want to take a few thousand people to the mainland. Is it that hard? My God! You are so unfair to me!"

However, these problems become no longer difficult problems with the arrival of a person.

Zheng Zhilong jumped briskly from the pier to the pier, smiled and bowed to Li Peilin who was waiting on the pier.

"Zhilong came recklessly, Master Li is here to welcome you!"

After a few words of courtesy, Zhilong and Zhibao followed Peilin to Hue Palace.

Brother Zhilong came here this time to thank Shou Han.

After snatching Taiwan from the Dutch (no, Taiwan was recovered.), Zhang Xiaohu followed Shou Han's instructions and sent someone to transport the autumn grain harvested by the Taiwan Reclamation Bureau to Jinmen to Zheng Zhilong for military rations.

Accompanying the grain to Kinmen was a letter written by Shou Han.

The letter told Zheng Zhilong that the food harvested by the Fuzhou Reclamation Bureau in the Tamsui area was still Zheng Zhilong's military supplies and civilian food.In addition, Zheng Zhilong and Li Shouhan share the trade route from Taiwan to Japan. He can send people to purchase in Taiwan or entrust the Fuzhou Reclamation Bureau to purchase local products on his behalf.

"After repairing the Hongmaoyi trading houses in Danshui and Anping, please choose a place at random for your visit."

have to!Shou Han showed such kindness, if Zheng Zhilong didn't come to thank him, he wouldn't be worthy of rolling between the rivers and seas.

However, Zheng Zhilong was quite surprised when he saw Shou Han with a worried expression on his face.

"Li Shuai, your army is invincible, your soldiers are excellent, your food is abundant, your area has abundant harvests year after year, and you have a lot of money, why do you do this?"

Listening to Li Si Chengzheng An Tianhong explaining why Shou Han was worried, of course he adopted the Spring and Autumn style of writing, it is impossible to say that Shou Han is going to take the army to the capital.

"It turns out that Li Shuai wanted to go to the capital to seek a nominal official title? Too much luggage?! This matter is easy to handle!"

Zheng Zhilong judges others by himself, remembering the scene when he accepted Xiong Wencan's recruitment, isn't it also the silver as high as the mountain flowing out like sea water?Now Li Shouhan's territory and situation are much more powerful than his own. Presumably, the required official title is not something that a mere guerrilla can satisfy his wish.

"I set aside [-] big lucky boats for Li Shuai! All of them cost more than [-] materials! Is it enough?!"

Zheng Zhilong patted his ** very straightforwardly.

A Fuchuan with [-] materials is equivalent to a transport capacity of [-] tons, and [-] ships is [-] tons. It is almost the same for carrying war horses, but the mules and horses for pulling artillery and the draft horses for transporting vehicles are the same. It needs capacity!And these mules and horses are about a thousand!Just more and less!

After listening to Shou Han's narration, Zheng Zhilong knew that Li Shuai in front of him was definitely not just going to the capital to seek an official, otherwise, it would be enough for him to bring silver and jewelry!What are you going to do with a Dafolang machine?Can't attack the capital? !

"I'm not afraid of Zheng Shuai's jokes. I have heard that there are rogues everywhere in the interior, and there are occasional harassing and looting by the Northland Tartars. My life is going well, so I am naturally afraid of death. The accompanying guards, what? Naturally, bring more!"

Laughing at himself, Shou Han recalled those numbers in his mind:

A total of 3500 people entered Beijing, including 600 cavalry, 500 artillery, 500 baggage, 400 auxiliary soldiers, 1500 infantry, 720 horses, 720 Dafolang machines and six-pound guns.According to the estimate of carrying grain and herbs for March, it is necessary to carry about 120 tons of grain, rice and non-staple food.Based on the calculation of the number of 400 war horses, 2000 mules and horses pulling artillery, and [-] draft horses pulling baggage carts, the consumption of horses for three months is about [-] tons.

Coupled with the weight of those artillery, "powder", and baggage carts, it is another massive number.

"However, Li Shuai, if you think about it, you can send a ship to the north first, transport some of the people, horses and money there, and send competent personnel to meet them in Tianjin."

Zheng Zhilong's words reminded Li Shouhan that since he planned to leave for three months, he didn't need to go all at once. He ordered people to go to Tianjin first to unload the heavy supplies, and then go south to meet him.

Or stock up in Shanghai and other places, and transport from Shanghai to the capital?

"Thank you Zheng Shuai for your reminder! In this way, the ships of your army going north will not need to carry weapons. When they are loaded in Hue, Ha Tinh, etc., our army will equip your ships with cannons."

"In addition, when going south, please anchor your army to the Wusongkou area. I have some personnel and cargo there to board the ship and go south."

"It is said that Zheng Shuai and Fusang are related by marriage. A few days ago, a famous Fusang came to submit a letter, claiming that he intends to buy our army's artillery. These things will bother Zheng Shuai."

Shou Han's series of words made Zheng Zhilong a little overwhelmed.Zhibao on the side heard one thing clearly, that is, the Nanzhong Army will hand over the matter of distributing artillery to Fusang to Zheng Jiajun!For the cost of helping the Nanzhong Army transport with only thirty big lucky boats, the elder brother got the right to sell artillery to the famous names in Fusang. What a bargain!

"Li Shuai, please don't worry, as soon as the south wind blows, Zhilong will send capable men to Hue to wait for his orders!"

When Brother Zheng Zhilong left, ten twelve-pound guns given to him by Shou Han were loaded on board.

"Okay! Let's do the math again, what kind of tribute should we give to our Emperor Chongzhen!?"

When the southerly wind generated by the warm and humid air in the Pacific Ocean blows, Zheng Zhilong's [-] Dafu boats also arrive as scheduled.

On the pier, Chen Peng, who was in charge of the fleet commander, looked at the coolies who were continuously transporting various supplies to the ship, and couldn't help but stare, "Damn! I brought so many supplies with me when I went out, what kind of position do I want to buy for myself?" return?!"

"Whose meal shall we eat?!"

In the distance, there was a roar like thunder.

It was the soldiers who were going to follow the guards to Beijing to conduct military training under the leadership of officers at all levels.

A battalion officer wore a three-color ribbon on his chest and served as the star officer. He stood on the artillery carriage in front of the queue and roared loudly.

"Let's eat the general's meal!"

More than 3000 people roared in unison.

"Whose clothes shall we wear?"

"Let's wear general's clothes!"

. . . . .

"Whose pay do we get?"

"We will receive the general's salary!"

"Who should we work for?!"

"We serve for the general!"

"What if it doesn't work?!"

"Seize the field! Drive away!"

The ears of Chen Peng, who was so loud, were buzzing for a while, and he glanced at it with some annoyance, "Hey! What's the use of yelling?!" (To be continued.)
