The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 77

February 27, the second year of Longwu.

Duchang County, Nankang Prefecture.

A total of [-] volunteers from the three prefectures in northern Jiangxi gathered in the Dragon Guard barracks.

Some of them came for Yu Xiuluo's face, some came for the reputation of the Dragon Guards, and some were persuaded by Deng Shan.However, there are still a few who are determined to "integrate" with other rebels, and most of them still have a wait-and-see attitude.

Before entering the barracks, Mr. Gu sighed several times—the enemy troops in Duchang have basically been wiped out, but outside the camp of the Dragon Guards, there are still three neat trenches dug, with no horses and no wooden walls inside. careless.

From a few miles away, there were hussars in dark green uniforms guarding every level.In the camp, there was always a neat line of soldiers carrying firecrackers patrolling back and forth.

All the soldiers are full of energy and dignified, at the same time the military discipline is strict, and their behavior is solemn. No one laughs and looks around, and they can tell at a glance that this is an elite army.

Mr. Gu couldn't help nodding secretly, it seems that it was definitely not luck that King Chenzhou was in Jiangxi's Lianke strong enemy recently.

In the big tent of the barracks, Zhen Zhen excitedly introduced to Zhu Linmi the volunteers who came from all walks of life, "Your Highness, the man with the Nine-ring Saber is Jiujiang Jinwu. He has a hand-handed sword that is superb. Out of a hundred bandit soldiers, three entered and three exited, and they were nicknamed Jin Dadao."

Jin Wu hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Jin Wu pays his respects to His Royal Highness King Chenzhou."

"This is Yu Zhen, the commander of the White Horse Battalion." She pointed to the next burly man with a red face, "He used to be the banner chief of the Qi Family Army, and the White Horse Battalion he led was also quite like the Qi Family Army. He has ambushed bandits in Poyang many times. , almost without defeat."

"Yu Zhen met His Royal Highness King Chenzhou."

"This is Yichang Tie Dake, known as the Iron Leopard. He has more than a hundred strong cavalry, all wielding long spears, and they are always invincible in surprise attacks..."

"This is Du Kai from the Loyalty Army. The Loyalty Army is best at collecting all kinds of intelligence. Most of the intelligence from the three prefectures in northern Jiangxi comes from them..."

"..."

Zhu Linmei nodded frequently. The dozens of rebels have their own strengths. If they can be well integrated, they will definitely be a team with good combat effectiveness.

After all the volunteers had seen the ceremony, he was about to announce the start of the meeting when Zhen Zhen said excitedly: "Master Gu, why are you here?"

It was only then that Zhu Linmei saw a thin man with sharp features like a knife-cut man approaching quickly, lifted his clothes and bowed down: "Gu Yanwu, the head of the Ministry of Officers and Military Affairs, please refer to His Highness King Chenzhou."

"Gu Yanwu? Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world?" Zhu Linmi casually uttered this well-known saying.This is Gu Yanwu, one of the three great Confucian scholars in the late Ming Dynasty?Didn't expect to meet here.

He was overjoyed and quickly helped Gu Yanwu up.

"Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world?" Gu Yanwu pondered over these words in a daze, and suddenly remembered what he had written, "The one who protects the country, the king and his ministers are the ones who eat meat; Hey." It was immediately clear that His Highness had refined his words into eight characters.

He cupped his hands with some emotion and said: "His Royal Highness Meng read "Rizhilu", these eight characters are more expressive than the original text of Xiaguan, and they are really the finishing touch."

Zhu Lin was taken aback for a moment, and then vaguely remembered that "everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world" seems to be not Gu Yanwu's original words, but a summarization and processing of later generations.But at this time, the author of these words must be blamed on himself.

Gu Yanwu continued, "Under the order of the Luge Department, I have contacted the rebels in various places in the south of the Yangtze River, but there has been no success. Now I heard that His Highness gathered all the rebels in Duchang, and I have many contacts with the rebels in northern Jiangxi, or Can make some modest efforts.

"If all the armies are united, the army will be powerful enough to reach northern Jiangxi. At that time, His Highness can put aside the enemies of the three prefectures and lead a large army to quickly march south. The day when the soldiers encircle Nanchang is the time to wipe out the Jiangxi thieves!"

Zhu Linmi was quite surprised when he heard that, his Jiangxi strategy was only known to a few generals and the emperor at the Fuzhou military conference, Gu Yanwu was able to judge his own strategic intentions based on the current situation, and it really was an extraordinary strategy.

Although Gu Yanwu was famous in history as one of the three great Confucian scholars in the late Ming Dynasty, he was actually an all-rounder with both civil and military skills. In the late Ming Dynasty, he commanded the anti-Qing rebels in the areas occupied by the Qing army many times, and fought against the Jianlu for more than ten years.

Zhu Linmei nodded slightly. There are all kinds of people in the northern Jiangxi rebel army, and they have a lot of habits in the Jianghu. They just need a prudent and resourceful person to help manage them.The Gu Yanwu in front of him is very suitable, and he must be drawn into the rebel army after integration.

He let Gu Yanwu into the account, but Mr. Gu insisted on walking behind him, and finally the two entered into the account together.

"Everyone who raises the righteous army and drives away the thieves and captives is all heroes and chivalrous men." Zhu Linmi warmed up the scene first, and then changed the subject, "However, the gold thieves have been a disaster in northern Jiangxi for a long time, and my more than ten volunteers have never been able to win. Get rid of the bandits, why?"

What he said was considered polite, what didn't get rid of the bandit soldiers, the bandit soldiers have basically been chasing the rebels to fight.

"It's because we don't have the same orders and no support for each other!" Zhen Zhen immediately said loudly.

"That's right." Zhu Linmi cast an approving look, and continued, "In addition, the rebel army only relies on self-raised food, grass, and weapons. It is difficult to last without food, and the weapons are not easy to be excellent. The drills of the soldiers are also insufficient. In this way, the rebel army Although there are a large number of people, they have suffered losses at the hands of bandit soldiers several times."

As soon as he said this, he immediately got a lot of approval.

Zhu Linming hit the rails while the heat was hot: "To reverse this situation, the first thing is for the rebels from the three prefectures to join forces and unite into one army, with unified command and joint killing of the enemy."

"Your Highness, we were originally near our hometown, so we can get food and grass nearby. If we gather a large army to go to other places to fight, the cost of food and salary will be several times higher than before. I'm afraid we won't be able to afford it." Then someone raised the question doubt.

Zhu Linmei smiled slightly. With the income from the steel and cement in his hands, it is no problem to support more than ten thousand soldiers.Of course, for the time being, there is still no hope that the imperial court will be able to allocate food and salaries.

"If the northern Jiangxi rebels are united as one, I promise on behalf of the imperial court that at least 1 taels of silver will be allocated for consumption every month."

As soon as he said this, there was a burst of exclamation in the tent.

"1 taels per month!"

"The imperial court is so generous?!"

"My 300 brothers in the Baima camp can eat 1 taels a month. After joining the army, [-] taels will definitely be more than enough!"

"It seems that the brothers will not only be able to eat, but also receive some salary."

"In the future, you don't have to worry about money and food, you can concentrate on cleaning up the bandits!"

"I, Tieshan Camp, would like to join forces!" Deng Shan immediately stood up and said loudly.

Being robbed of the limelight, Zhen Zhen glared at Deng Shan angrily, and hurriedly said, "I, Yu Xiuluo, will also join the joint army!" After thinking for a while, he continued, "From now on, half of the army's food supply will be provided by my Zhen family. Come out!" In fact, nearly half of the food and grass for the Northern Jiangxi Rebel Army was provided by her, and now it is on the bright side.
