Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 651 The Contained Ruzhou Army

"What did you say? What chance?" Gonzalez was a little confused.Please remember the URL of this site:.

"Then I'll say it again." Mr. Zheng Qian's attitude was quite arrogant, "My leader appreciates you very much. As long as you vote, my leader will give you twice as much as your master will give you. If you agree, then we will be a partner." Brothers on the boat, I will take you to Yizhou by boat immediately."

"Kuuu!" Gonzalez pulled out his waist knife, "Do you dare to say it again? See if I won't kill you! You insulted me and the honor of a knight!"

"What a brain!" Mr. Zheng Qian shook his head, as if he turned a blind eye to Gonzalez's threat, "Your family is in danger, and you are in a daze, and you want to go north to fight the Qing Dynasty? To put it bluntly , It’s more bad luck than good luck. You might as well follow my leader.”

Huang Qifa immediately grabbed Gonzalez, who was about to get angry, and said to Mr. Zheng Qian with a calm face: "Leave a line for others, and we will see each other someday. Mr. Huang Qian, wait and see! Don't send it off!"

……

Seeing the Zheng family's fleet sail away, Gonzalez blamed Huang Qifa: "Why did you let him go? How do we cross the Yangtze River?"

"Can a living person be suffocated to death by urine?" Huang Qifa replied in a very bad tone, "Hurry up and find a civilian boat! Try to cross the river as soon as possible."

It wasn't until winter, when the Zheng family's fleet was free, that they sent Huang Qiqi and the others to Songjiang Mansion.But as soon as they landed, Huang Qifa learned that Wu Shigong ordered their entire army to go north, and even Gonzales, who was waiting at the pier, would not go to Taiwan.This immediately angered Mr. Zheng Qian, the commander of the Zheng family's fleet. [

Not surprisingly, Mr. Zheng Qian was unwilling to send the Marine Corps across the Yangtze River.He also instigated Huang to inspire them to switch to Zheng Zhilong.Zheng Zhilong has long coveted the gang of the Marine Corps.He has a lot of sailors and water fighters, but very few land fighters, so he has long wanted to take the Marine Corps into his bag.

Originally, because of the cooperation with Wu Shigong, Zheng Zhilong's eating was not too ugly, but after learning that Wu Shigong went north to King Qin, Zheng Zhilong couldn't hold back, because Zheng Zhilong also did business with the Manchus by sea, and he knew that the Manchurians The powerful power of the shot.So this time I am very pessimistic about Wu Shigong's prospects.

On the way back, Mr. Zheng Qian had been persuading and seducing Huang Qifa, but Huang Qifa flatly refused.That's why today at the Songjiang Wharf, there was such a good show of breaking up.

The reason why Huang Qifa wanted to persuade Gonzalez to live was mainly because he didn't want to turn against Zheng Zhilong. After all, Wu Shigong still had a lot of business with Zheng Zhilong, without Wu Shigong's consent.Huang Qifa didn't want to cause trouble for Wu Shigong.

Huang Qiqi and his 300 troops crossed the Yangtze River on December [-]th, and then began the long journey of thousands of miles.

Chongzhen 11 December [-]th.In the camp of the Ruzhou Army in Cheng'an County.

"My lord! It's only a dozen miles away from Cheng'an County, grit your teeth and rush over there!" Zuo Yin suggested.

Yu Zilian shook his head: "The Tartars are waiting for us to go to the county seat. As soon as we pull out the camp, the Tartars will charge with cavalry, and there is no way to resist them. They are expecting us to do this."

"Then what should we do?" Zuo Yin asked.

"Stand still!" Yu Zilian said with a smile. "Defend the camp and strengthen the camp. If the Tartars come to attack, the cavalry will not be afraid if they dismount. What the Tartars want us to do, we will do the opposite."

Zuo Yin thought about it.He also nodded in agreement and said: "It is true, our food can last for more than [-] days. The Tartars will never besiege us for such a long time. Otherwise, other officers and troops will come here too. My lord is wise!"

"I'm nothing wise. To tell you the truth, I don't really know how to fight. The reason why I can survive until now is not because I have always followed: what the enemy hopes is what I abandon." Yu Zilian said with a smile.

"My lord, please joke!" Zuo Yin immediately showed an expression of disbelief.

Seeing Zuo Yin's exaggerated expression, Yu Zilian couldn't help but burst out laughing.While laughing, he thought to himself, "Why is it that no one believes what I'm telling the truth?"

Looking at the Ruzhou army digging trenches and building earth walls from a distance, Yue Tuo smiled and shook his head and said to the left and right: "I didn't expect the Ming army to respond well here, and I didn't rush to Cheng'an. It’s gone down the drain. What a pity!” [

"Master Baylor! Then let this Ming army go?" asked one of the officers.

"So what if we don't let them go? We only have more than 4000 soldiers and horses, and it's just a side division. We just need to guard this Ming army. Prince Rui's place is where the main battle will be." Yue Tuo replied.

"But this Ming army only has about ten thousand people, and it can't stop us athletes." The leader asked for the battle again.

Yue Tuo's face suddenly became serious, and he scolded: "You have all tried it, and you know that this Ming army's firearms are very powerful, and it is difficult to get close at all. Now they are defending in a strong camp, if they attack by force, how much will they have?" Manchurian athletes can be squandered? Stop mentioning this, the whole army dismounts and rests!"

After hearing Yue Tuo's words, apart from sending some spies to observe the camp of the Ruzhou army, the rest of the Qing army got off their horses far away and began to rest.

After chasing Guo Guo several times in a row, Yu Zilian also came to his senses, knowing that the Qing army was leading him by the nose, so Yu Zilian became vigilant, and wanted the whole army to approach the nearest Cheng'an county first, and take a rest first. Make plans after you finish.

But at this moment, a Qing army of about 2000 soldiers appeared on the way to Cheng'an County, and an encounter immediately broke out between the two armies.

It should be said that the start of the battle was very unfavorable for the Ruzhou Army.Although their number was six times that of the Qing army, they were in a marching state and could not deal with the Qing cavalry that had already been lined up in a timely manner.Of course, this is also where the infantry suffers from the cavalry, and it is also the inevitable result of the Ruzhou army not being able to send scout cavalry, because the Ruzhou army does not know the dynamics of the Qing army!

If it weren't for the Ruzhou Army cavalry led by Liu Guqian to charge back desperately and buy time for the Ruzhou Army to line up, maybe the Ruzhou Army would be cut into several sections and completely defeated.However, Liu Guqian's counterattack also caused the loss of more than half of the cavalry of the Ruzhou Army.

But the loss is worth it.The Ruzhou Army quickly deployed its troops, and the whole army charged like crazy.This unexpected move left more than 500 cavalry Qing soldiers.It seems that the two sides fought a tie.

But at this time, the Qing army came with several teams of more than 2000 cavalry and horses, and it was almost dusk.So the Ruzhou army also retreated a certain distance, and began to camp on the spot.

However, on the second day, the Ruzhou army was surprised to find that the four thousand Qing troops gave way to the road to Cheng'an County, and instead cruised in the other three directions of their camp, as if to give the Ruzhou army an opportunity. Like a way out.

In fact, this was a trick of Yue Tuo, who commanded this Qing army's partial division.He just wanted to make the Ruzhou army have the illusion that there was a retreat, and the whole army fled to Cheng'an County in a panic.If the Ruzhou army does that, as long as the Qing army takes advantage of the chaos, the Ruzhou army is likely to be defeated. At that time, even if some of the Ruzhou army can escape, this troublesome Ming army will also be defeated. will no longer be a threat.

But Yu Zilian saw through Yuetuo's trick.Yu Zilian's reason is also very simple, just like what Napoleon once said: On the battlefield, as long as the enemy wants us to do it, we will never do it.Instead, he strengthened his camp and wanted to confront the Qing army for a long time.

This made Yue Tuo somewhat at a loss.However, Yue Tuo was somewhat comforted by the fact that his army was only partial after all, and it was not necessary to defeat this Ming army.As long as the Ruzhou army is restrained, the main force of the Qing army led by Dorgon can completely solve Lu Xiangsheng's troops.

Since Emperor Chongzhen ordered Lu Xiangsheng and Gao Qiqian to commit crimes and perform meritorious service, the two armies have continued to move southward, circling among the enemy clusters.But what is very strange is that the two armies neither joined forces nor cooperated in the encirclement and suppression.

The reason why they don't join forces is because no one is willing to take the initiative to merge with the opponent's troops.Because whoever takes the initiative is a sign of weakness, and the coach of this coalition army will be sent to the opponent.At this time, Lu Xiangsheng and Gao Qiqian were still fighting each other.

Not pinching and suppressing is due to the difference in combat concepts.Lu Xiangsheng believes that a loyal monarch should not spare himself, even if the entire army is wiped out, he must fight the Qing army and die vigorously.

But Gao Qiqian thinks: the difference in strength between the two armies is too great now.Moreover, the fighting spirit of the Ming army is better in the defense of the city, but if it fights with the Qing army in the field, then the whole army is likely to collapse.

You know, with Lu Xiangsheng's Xuanda Army and Gao Qiqian's Guanning Army, although they still dare not fight the Qing army, they can at least play the role of paper tigers, scaring the Qing army from doing whatever they want, and ensuring some The safety of the big city.If there were no these two Ming armies, then the Qing army would really be like entering a human realm.

In fact, the reason of these two people, one is blood, the other is reason, it is impossible to say who is right and who is wrong.But in this case, the two cannot sit down and talk calmly.

Moreover, because Gao Qiqian was close to Yang Sichang's political views, Lu Xiangsheng also regarded Gao Qiqian as a "peaceful faction". He thought: Gao Qiqian was still dreaming of negotiating with the Qing army.

Do you see how deep this prejudice is?Therefore, the two armies do not communicate with each other forever.Another point: these two people had no idea that Yu Zilian's Ruzhou Army was nearby.Of course, Yu Zilian didn't know that there were these two Ming armies nearby.

As a result, in November, Lu Xiangsheng's troops had several confrontations with the Qing army in Qingdu (now Wanxian, Hebei) and other places, and the two sides killed each other.The high-lifting and diving department is completely passive and avoiding the battle.

Moreover, the situation facing Lu Xiangsheng's department is becoming more and more dangerous. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point to vote and monthly pass. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users, please go to m to read.)
