Vow to die at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 255 The First Eastern Expedition (21)

Under Chen Jin's urging, the Tatars fought bravely to be the first, fighting fiercely, and fought repeatedly in a radius of several miles.Although [-] is against [-], there is no timidity.Now that the sun is rising gradually, the third battalion has lost the convenience of being in the shade.

And the remnants of the Tartars in Suzhou City behind them also stormed the camp, as if they knew that this was their only chance to survive.If you stick to Suzhou, you will end up with a dead end.Under the reward and wish of the Tu Guobin, both the head of the regiment and the brave trainees in the regiment training rushed to the camp without hesitation.Because they clearly know that if they resist the gangsters so much, if they fall into the hands of the gangsters, death will be the best end.

This is a head-to-head war of attrition, and both sides are desperately fighting until now.Killing one thousand enemies and harming oneself by eight hundred, no one will feel good at this time.

Finally, because Zhang Chengwu didn't have enough people to stay in the camp, the way for the Tartars in the city to escape was pierced.Xu Guo, the training officer who stayed behind in the camp, decisively abandoned the camp and shrank the rest of the troops, avoiding the fate of destruction.

Without the rear defense line, Zhang Chengwu had no choice but to disperse the team to both sides in order to avoid being attacked from the front and back.At this time, the good discipline of the security regiment and the advantages of a large number of grassroots officers emerged.After the team was divided into two, among the troops on the other side, Xi Congshan, the captain of the first column who also served as the deputy battalion commander, raised the command flag, retracted the troops that were fighting and retreating, and rebuilt the defense line.

At this time, Chen Jin's subordinates were only focused on rushing towards the city, so they were attacked by bows, arrows and firecrackers from both sides, and some people fell to the ground after being hit by arrows.

At the same time, some regiments also threw out newly developed grenades one after another. However, this kind of grenade is relatively small in power but not small in size. The fuse is still used as the fuse, so the effect is not ideal.Moreover, the Tartars who have experienced the attack of explosive kits have long been accustomed to this kind of weapon that does more damage to the ears than to the body, so this kind of grenade has not achieved good results in this battle.Of course, this weapon has just been successfully developed. This time it was sent by Qiu Tianxing to be used directly in the battlefield test, and it will continue to be improved according to the feedback effect in the future.The use of explosives as grenades is only a transition. After the regime gradually stabilized, Qiu Tianxing continued to increase his support for the research and development of military products.Qiu Tianxing also knew that yellow gunpowder was powerful, but he really didn't know how to make yellow gunpowder, so he could only order the craftsmen to constantly modify the gunpowder to achieve the optimal ratio.

It's just that the hard work of the R&D personnel is not understood by the soldiers. They think that this thing is heavy, and it is not as convenient as a dynamite bag.Therefore, when the Tatars changed from a breakthrough to being flanked, they threw out the grenades in their hands one after another, and the grenades exploded one after another. Although some disturbances were caused, the results of the battle were not great.

Because the matter was very important, Chen Jin personally led the team and rushed in.After all, the other party is also at the level of a governor. If you send a general soldier yourself, it may not affect him.If by any chance the Tu Guobin wanted to stay in the city, the generals he sent would be in a dilemma.Therefore, Chen Jin had no choice but to charge forward with his own arrows.In fact, it's not that Chen Jin never thought about annihilating the gangsters here, but after this battle, he suffered a lot of losses, so he might not have the strength to wipe out the gangsters.Moreover, the regiment bandit was not chaotic at all after the formation was broken, and it changed from one large formation to two formations, which brought difficulties for itself to annihilate.What's more, the soldiers here are all under his own command, and he came to Suzhou just for rescue, Zhejiang is the root, and they are all folded in Suzhou, so do you want Zhejiang?

That's why Chen Jincai chose the method of one-off damage but not lasting damage. He wanted to make a quick decision and complete the task by rescuing the officials of the governor of Liangjiang.As for Suzhou, it is not his own territory, so what should he do?
Finally, the two Tartar troops joined forces. After Chen Jin met Tu Guobin, he found that his worries were superfluous.So, the two teams joined forces and rushed out together.This period of time was also a nightmare for Tu Guobin. He really didn't want to stay here any longer, so he didn't want to destroy the bandit camp and defeat the bandit army.

Just as Chen Jin led the army to rush out, the horse under his crotch accidentally tripped over the corpse on the ground, and Chen Jin fell to the ground in a mess.

"My lord! My lord!" The soldiers exclaimed, and hurriedly reined in the horse's head and wanted to turn back to rescue, but the crowd was surging and it was not easy to turn back.Fortunately, there were guards in front of and behind Chen Jin, and there was no way to rescue him in front, so the rear quickly leaped to protect Chen Jin.When carrying Chen Jin onto the horse's back, the guards found that the horse's hoof had trampled on his back, bleeding from the corner of his mouth seemed to be seriously injured.Although the soldiers knew that maybe the bones were broken, they couldn't move at this time.But at this time, if you don't leave quickly on the battlefield and the bandits join forces again, it will be too late to leave.As a result, Chen Jin, who was crouching on the horseback, suffered a second injury. After fleeing thirty miles outside Suzhou City, Chen Jin was almost dying.The army fled all the way for thirty miles, and the soldiers were very tired, so they could only rest for a while.

In addition to Chen Jin being severely injured, Tu Guobin was also hit by an arrow, which was in the abdomen.Because he couldn't get timely treatment, he just pulled out the arrow and bandaged the wound. It was foreseeable that the wound would become infected.

Seeing Chen Jin's seriously injured appearance, Tu Guobin felt very guilty in his heart, and he cupped his hands weakly and said.

"Thank you brother Tianzhang for lending a helping hand this time. I'm really sorry that I have caused brother Tianzhang to do this."

After waking up from a daze, Chen Jin looked at Tu Guobin and said weakly.

"Lord Tu, you are polite. The court has orders, and this is the duty of my subjects. I wonder if Lord Tu will follow me back to Zhejiang this time?"

Seeing that Chen Jin had the faint intention of rejecting others thousands of miles away, Tu Guobin didn't want to go to Zhejiang either.

"The court's kindness allowed this governor to seal the border, and this governor can only repay it with death. Besides, this governor is the governor of Liangjiang. Now that the war is going against the grain, the only thing he can do is die. How can he avoid disasters elsewhere?"

Speaking of the excitement, Tu Guobin was in severe pain in his stomach.Chen Jin also knew that the two of them might pass away soon, and they separated after saying how much they cherished each other.Fortunately, the regiment was also severely damaged in this battle, and they only sent [-] regiments who were still physically strong to pursue, but they were only hanging far behind.Under this kind of persecution, Chen Jin's subordinates fled desperately, and finally fled to the capital city of Huzhou, and they were relieved.After learning that the army had returned to Huzhou, Jin Li, who was near Yixing, also hurriedly fled back to Huzhou to avoid being surrounded.

After parting with Chen Jin, Tu Guobin took the remaining thousands of defeated soldiers and marched eastward to Songjiang Mansion, staying behind the jurisdiction of the two Jiang governors who could finally control them.As for Taicang Prefecture, now that Kunshan has been lost, Tu Guobin does not expect to keep Taicang, which is thirty miles away.In fact, he didn't expect to keep Songjiang Mansion, he just wanted to keep his final dignity as Governor of Liangjiang.

"Perhaps it is more in my own interest to die before Songjiang Mansion is captured by bandits? This will also be more beneficial to the family members far away in the capital." Tu Guobin thought in this way while he was dazed by the fire.

Because Zhang Chengwu suffered nearly half of the casualties in the Suzhou battle, his vitality was seriously injured. Although he controlled the Suzhou mansion, he was already unable to attack. This also relieved Chen Jin and Tu Guobin, allowing them to recuperate in Songjiang mansion and Huzhou mansion.Only one month later, the two died of illness.

Because of the rise of the Security Corps, Tu Guobin escaped the fate of committing suicide after being removed from the post of Jiangnan governor due to favoritism and corruption. Not only did he live a few more years, but he was lucky enough to be promoted to governor.It's just that Cheng Ye's security team lost Ye's security team and died of injuries after escaping suicide.After Tu Guobin died of illness, Liu Hanzuo, the former governor of Jiangnan, succeeded the governor.Nowadays, no one in the imperial court wants to wade into this muddy water, so the governor's throne falls under Liu Hanzuo's ass.Of course, Liu Hanzuo didn't want to sit in the seat of burning his butt, he would rather go back to Beijing to be a small official.It's just that the imperial court has to do it if he doesn't want to, and his family members are also in the capital.

After Chen Jin died of serious injuries, Pingnan General Jin Li took over the position of Governor of Zhejiang and Fujian.Also because of the security team, Chen Jin escaped being assassinated by his servants, but he did not escape the death of Ma Ta from being seriously injured.Anyway, he still lived an extra year.

And Jin Li was also promoted to governor two years earlier, but he was no longer the governor of Shaanxi and Sichuan, but the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian.

In the past two years, the Tartars' border officials and governor-level figures have fallen one after another.

Ma Guozhu, governor of Jiangnan and Jiangxi, died in battle, Wu Weihua, governor of water transportation, Zhang Cunren, governor of Zhili, Shandong and Henan, died of illness, Meng Qiaofang, governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and Luo Xiujin, governor of Huguang, died of illness.Now Chen Jin, governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, and Tu Guobao, the new governor of Jiangnan and Jiangxi, died of serious injuries. More than half of the nine governors in the world have been replaced. (It’s a great event to drop pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!
