Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

Ling Zhiqing is also considered unlucky, he was originally a group leader, but because he was born in the green battalion of Fujian Province, he was kicked out of the first-line army when Zheng Jun kept telling the old and bringing in the new. Lieutenant, and Xianjue, the deputy of Qianhu, but he had to be reluctantly sent to Shenglong as the so-called national envoy and military attache.

What kind of cheating position is this? You can't go in front of Master Zheng to point fingers at his superior soldiers, and you're too embarrassed to grab the command of the Bapin Baoyi Deputy Lieutenant (Team Leader) in the embassy, ​​so you can only sit around doing nothing. Wandering around in Thang Long City, using the eyes of a soldier to figure out where is the best position to attack the city.

Of course, if you really care about it, Ling Zhiqing actually still has a job.When he took office, it happened to be the time when Master Zheng was gathering his army to prepare for the Southern Expedition. The Privy Council ordered him to collect the report on Zheng Master's mobilization. However, Ling Zhiqing, who has no experience in intelligence work, can only sign and approve at most.

After doing nothing like this for a few months, Lord Zheng's army finally assembled and headed south, and the noisy Shenglong City finally calmed down.

In fact, there are still defensive forces in Shenglong City. The 2000 troops monitoring Li Huang and Li Huang's family have not moved at all, and the [-] elite soldiers from Yi Wei Zheng and the main mansion also left [-] people. Of course, this is not to guard against a mere team of guards in the Ming Zheng embassy, ​​but to worry about whether Zheng Fan, who provoked this war, will come. Stabbed in the back.

Three days after the army went south, Ling Zhiqing received an order to go to the front line to observe the combat power of Lord Zheng's army.He immediately went south, chasing Lord Zheng's army all the way.Good guy, this is still an army, clearly a group of armed coolies.Not to mention the shabby clothes and crude equipment, each of them had to carry and carry a hundred kilograms of rice on their backs to march, which is really a strange thing that has never been heard in Chinese military history.

After chasing for a few days, Ling Zhiqing finally saw the main excellent soldiers of Lord Zheng's army. Although these excellent soldiers were trained by the domestic village valor regiment, it was only the "advanced" firearms such as blunderbuss and matchlock guns that began to appear, and the supplies were no longer available. Manpower was required for transport, and people pulling shoulders were replaced by ox carts that moved equally slowly.

But the road is still extremely difficult. On the one hand, it is muddy, and on the other hand, even the muddy road is blocked by a large group of soldiers flocking south. Fortunately, when Ling Zhiqing went south, the main mansion sent a high-ranking official of the governor's level to monitor him. Sui, it was by using the commander's honor guard to clear the way that Ling Zhiqing could stand out from the tens of thousands of troops, otherwise he could only be trapped in the vast ocean of Beihe farmers and soldiers who could not understand the language.

It was by traveling with this governor surnamed Li that Ling Zhiqing got a piece of Annan's "common sense" that made him dumbfounded.It turns out that the dignified first-rank governor and second-rank commander-in-chief can only manage a battalion of 800 troops when they reach the front line.

"Damn it, it turns out that I can't be regarded as the chief soldier in Annan, and the governor can be regarded as a general or a guerrilla." Ling Zhiqing laughed and cursed to himself, isn't it? It is half of the battalion of Lord Zheng's army. "But this general and guerrilla are worthless."

With such slander, Ling Zhiqing finally rushed to the front line. Before he could enter Zheng Gen's camp, he roughly scanned the camp of Lord Zheng's army, and was shocked. Is this a military camp or a market? Is this preparing for a war or an outing? ah.

Fortunately, the defense and construction of Zheng Gen's camp were far from satisfactory, so that Ling Zhiqing said to himself with a tone of survival after a catastrophe: "It's okay, it's okay, I finally didn't come to die."

However, Ling Zhiqing didn't expect that as soon as he entered Zheng Gen's camp, he would encounter disarming authority. He didn't know if it was Zheng Gen's intention. He had just sat down when someone asked, "Emissary Ling, you can see the mighty soldiers of the Lord's Mansion along the way." Yet?"

Ling Zhiqing really wanted to say that Bingwei didn't see it, but only a group of refugees, but after all, this was his home court, and he, as a guest, couldn't comment too much, so he prevaricated and said: "The envoy came here with strict orders, only with eyes and ears , You are not allowed to open your mouth to comment, so please forgive me, King Dingnan and several adults."

Originally, it was polite to ask Ling Zhiqing to comment, but seeing that he declined, Zheng Gen stopped asking.In fact, although Lord Zheng relied on the army to control the Beihe country, after taking power, Lord Zheng was extremely wary of warriors and learned from the Ming and Qing dynasties' national policy of using civil and military affairs to lead the army. Therefore, for Ming Zheng military officers like Ling Zhiqing , actually doesn't matter.Therefore, Ling Zhiqing's request to go to the front line for a walk was also agreed, and it seemed that he had no intention of keeping military secrets at all.

Since Lord Zheng and the Lord's Mansion are so up-to-date, Ling Zhiqing certainly couldn't wish for it, so when he knew that there would be an attack today, he rushed over immediately without caring about finishing and resting.

When Ling Zhiqing arrived, the attack had already begun, and the target of today's attack was part of the Ruanzheng Great Wall.The so-called Ruanzheng Great Wall is not a defensive system that stretches for tens of thousands of miles like the Great Wall in northern China, but a defensive position composed of several Taixi bastions and several mountains and rivers that are not conducive to marching.Of course there are parts of the city wall, but it is not long, and it is a connection between several bastions.Since the bastion guards the traffic arteries, it is useless to attack the city wall, and you can only hit the bastion area hard.

It is said to be a bastion, but the bastion is also very simple. Master Ruan’s teacher, the Portuguese, existed like a belly in Europe, and his army has no experience in large-scale battles, so what is reflected is the bastion structure built by Master Ruan. Quite primitive, not too much of a threat in the eyes of Zheng Jun.

It's a pity that Lord Zheng's army is not Zheng's army. While selling arms wantonly, the bad-hearted Dutch didn't tell Lord Zheng how to attack the bastion in Europe, so every time Lord Zheng's army invaded south, they only The flesh and blood of farmers and soldiers can be used to break through the iron wall that cannot be broken through in theory.

It was the same this time, after a burst of crackling artillery fire, hundreds of soldiers from Beihe swarmed up with sacks filled with soil, ready to fill up a section of ditch that the opponent had rearranged, but in the end the opponent After shooting, they fled back in embarrassment, leaving behind a dozen wounded and five or six dead.

Those who escaped did not escape the life-threatening impermanence. Under the instigation of the grim-faced Chief Zheng, the unlucky ones among the escapees were selected. These people were pressed one by one to the open space in front of the barracks, and then They were decapitated one by one while crying for nothing.The heads were then hung up to warn the monkeys, and under the "watching" of the dead, a new batch of frightened farmers embarked on the journey of death again.

Ling Zhiqing was very strange. It was not because of the poor accuracy of the bombardment of Lord Zheng's men, nor was it because of the swarming shooting of his artillery when they fired, because these two problems were still common in the green camp of the Qing army. Insufficient training will cause various problems to be reflected in wartime.

In fact, Ling Zhiqing was surprised by two places.

First, why do the "first soldiers" not advance under the cover of shelling, but attack against the opponent's shelling in the interval of shelling? Isn't this courting death?

Second, second, why didn't the soldiers who were ordered to fill the trenches find some protection such as shield vehicles? You must know that although the shield vehicles cannot block the opponent's shells, they can at least let the guns in the hands of Lord Ruan's soldiers at a certain distance. The killing effect of the arquebus will be greatly weakened.

Although there were doubts like this and that, Ling Zhiqing remembered his statement in front of Zheng Gen, and did not mention anything about Zheng Gen.Even in his opinion, Beihe people are not Chinese, and the more they die, the better. As for whether Lord Zheng can unify Annan, it has nothing to do with him.

Soon the soldiers who failed again retreated back. A battalion that attacked this time lost more than a dozen peasant soldiers again, and their only achievement was to fill the trenches with the previous dead and some sacks. According to The speed at which they filled up, as long as there were five or six hundred more sacrifices, it is estimated that the trench could be filled.

So the attack is still going on, but I don't know if it is to save gunpowder or because the shelling is ineffective, but the shelling before each attack stops. As a result, the morale of the soldiers is even lower, only three or five people Falling on the front line and running away, the number of people killed by oneself is more than the number of casualties in front of the battle.

When the sun went down, this section of the trench was still not filled, so Lord Zheng had no choice but to withdraw his troops.

Before Ling Zhiqing returned to Lord Zheng's camp, he checked the situation of the camp he observed.The result is self-evident. The dead and wounded first soldiers looked at their officers with hostile eyes while eating simple food mixed with cassava and dried bananas. But the rice is not what they deserve.

Seeing this scene, Ling Zhiqing asked thoughtfully, "Are these cassava and dried bananas brought by the soldiers?"

"No," replied the interpreter sent by Lord Zheng. "It was collected by a soldier from the surrounding area."

Ling Zhiqing continued to ask: "What if I eat all of it?"

The interpreter pointed to the back of the camp, and Ling Zhiqing remembered that there seemed to be an open space there: "Don't worry, rice and cassava have been planted in the back, and we can harvest a new season before the food runs out."

What, even if you can farm while fighting, Ling Zhiqing is about to faint.But what made him dizzy even more was the unfinished subtext of the interpreter. Thinking about it, these poor soldiers would continue to serve as tenants of the main mansion after the battle, providing a steady stream of support for Lord Zheng and the generals. Serve rice.

Can such an army win a battle?
