Chapter 154: Xia Wanchun, a young man who resisted the Qing Dynasty

Qian Sudian did not land at Yanguan as planned.

Instead, he went ashore in Haining.

The reason is that Qian Sudian believes that if he turns north from Yanguan to copy the back road of the Tartars, he may encounter the main force of the Tartars.

The forward of the 60,000-strong army was destroyed, and no matter what, there would be some vigilance.

If the cavalry battalion happened to encounter the main force of the enemy, it was too unworthy to die.

Therefore, Qian Sudian temporarily decided that for the sake of insurance, he would rather go around a hundred miles, go ashore from Haining, and outflank him along the official road through Tongxiang.

Facts have proved that Qian Sudian's judgment was correct.

After learning that the Advance had been destroyed, the Tartar army divided a detachment and stayed in Jiaxing Mansion.

In other words, if the traces of the Qian Su Department were detected by the Tartars, they would be attacked from front to back.

But Qian Sudian is still too conservative, if he goes ashore to the east and chooses to go ashore in Haiyan, then he can completely get rid of the threat of the Tartars of Jiaxing Mansion.

Tongxiang is between Jiaxing and Hangzhou, that is to say, Qian Sudian's caution did not let the department out of the danger of being attacked at both ends.

At this time, Qian Sudian and Jiaxing Mansion Tartars did not know each other.

The situation is getting confused, but the scales are tilting in favor of the Tartars.

When Qian Sule led his troops north from Haining to a place called Pingqiaotou near Tongxiang, the scouts who came out suddenly reported that there was a battle ahead, and the number of warring sides reached three or four thousand.

When Qian Sule heard this, he immediately rushed to inspect it.

In fact, at this time, you don't need to guess to understand that one side must be a Tartar, but it is difficult to guess who the other side is.

All the way from Hangzhou to Jiaxing, all occupied by the Qing army before, the rest of Li Zicheng has withdrawn to Jiangxi, Huguang area, at this time is cooperating with the Longwu Dynasty, in Jiangxi and the Tartar war.

And the Ming army was almost extinct here, either retreating south or surrendering to the Qing.

So who will this force be?

When Qian Sudian saw the battlefield, he was stunned.

What is this called an army?

None of them wore military uniforms, and the weapons in their hands were even more strange.

Wood knives, kitchen knives, wooden sticks, hoes, rakes, etc., only the unexpected, there is nothing that does not exist.

Sanniulu had about 900 Tartar infantry, and he chased and fought this team of about 3,000 people.

It's nothing short of weird.

But one thing is for sure, this team is Akito.

Qian Sudian hesitated, can he save it?

This place is only seventy or eighty miles away from Jiaxing Mansion and more than 100 miles away from Hangzhou Mansion.

In this way, the situation of the 600 people under his command will be extremely dangerous.

But Qian Sudian is really the seed of the Qian family, and his character is the same as that of the old man Qian.

didn't hesitate for long, Qian Sudian decisively ordered to rescue this Ming team.

In his opinion, Wu Zheng did not have much expectations for his cavalry battalion to leave the city, so regardless of the success or failure of his own troops, it did not have much impact on the offensive and defensive battles of Hangzhou.

In this case, if you can save 3,000 people, it is a victory, and as for what it will turn into, just take one step and see one step.

As a result, the cavalry battalion suddenly launched a charge into the battlefield.

The Tartars in the fierce battle even thought that it was their own people who came, because with cavalry of this scale, north of Hangzhou, there would be no Ming army.

They didn't even bother to turn back, and chased after the Akito team.

It's very ridiculous, the three thousand Ming people who ran at the front spread their feet and fled, and nearly a thousand Tartars chased desperately.

Behind was a galloping cavalry battalion.

It wasn't until the slower-running soldiers of the Tartar rear army fell under the cavalry swords screaming that the Tartars realized that it was not their own people behind them.

But by then, it was too late.

They couldn't even turn around and resist, and they were used as a free target by the soldiers of the cavalry battalion to practice wielding knives on horseback.

Here, the fleeing Mingren team noticed something strange and began to turn around.

Under the attack of the two boxes, victory is already doomed.

Qian Sudian ordered to quickly clean up the battlefield and evacuate the place.

Everyone on the Aketo team cheered, rejoicing in the victory, as if the victory had been fought by them.

But when it was discovered that the cavalry battalion was about to leave, everyone fell silent.

A young man who was no more than fifteen or sixteen years old and attached great importance to filial piety hurried towards Qian Sudian.

"Xia Wanchun, a young man in Xiajiangzuo, dare to ask this adult, which general is under his command, where do you want to go, can you take me and others with you?"

Qian Sudian shook his head and said: "This official Shaoxing Mansion has a hundred households under the command of King Lu, and there are important military affairs in him, so he can't carry you." ”

I don't want the young man Xia Wanchun to say: "This adult, we are all loyal to the Ming Dynasty, my father is a good Yi, he was the commander of Changle County, Fujian, and his teacher Chen Zilong is the left servant of the military department of the Longwu Dynasty, and the imperial history of the left capital. ”

Qian Sudian was shocked when he heard this, "Are you talking about Mr. Wozi?" ”

"Exactly."

Qian Sudian was shocked, this Chen Zilong is not an ordinary person, the Hongguang Dynasty fell, when King Lu first came to Shaoxing Mansion to supervise the country, he wanted to recruit him as the secretary of the military department, but Chen Zilong should not, accepted the canonization of the Longwu Dynasty, and was the left servant of the military department and the imperial history of the left capital.

But he did not go to Fujian to take office, but stayed in Songjiang, supervised and staffed the Taihu Volunteer Wu Yi's department, and recruited local righteous people to oppose the Qing Dynasty.

"Where is Mr. Wazi now?"

"Tutor...... Now he is disheartened and at home. ”

Qian Sudian was stunned, "Why is Mr. Wozi like this?" ”

Xia Wanchun's face darkened, and he replied: "The family teacher saw that Wu Yi was reckless and underestimated the enemy, and the guests under the tent were all frivolous people, and the generals were just plundering, and the division was not in order, and the military discipline was slack, so he broke off relations with him. After that, my father threw himself into the lake and died for the country, and the family teacher was discouraged, so he closed his door and didn't ask about the world. ”

Qian Sudian was stunned for a long time and said, "Then ...... you people?" ”

Xia Wanchun said: "These are the righteous people in Songjiang Mansion and the surrounding areas, many people followed their ancestors and family teachers earlier, and now that their ancestors are not there, and the family teachers are disheartened, these people ...... I will take me as the main and adhere to the great cause of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty. ”

Qian Sudian was embarrassed, "Xia Wanchun, it's not that the official is unwilling to help, it's just that the official does have urgent priorities. Presumably you should know that now that the Tartar army is attacking the city of Hangzhou, this officer was ordered to lead the cavalry to outflank the rear road of the Tartars, cut off the enemy's rear route, food and salary, and indeed cannot take your troops there. ”

Xia Wanchun hurriedly said: "My lord, we are all locals, and we are familiar with the Tao, bringing us will definitely help the adult's military affairs." ”

"This ...... This official is full of cavalry, and the speed is extremely fast, I'm afraid you ......? ”

Qian Sudian glanced at the group of ragged rebels as he spoke, although he didn't say it thoroughly, but the meaning was already very clear.

Xia Wanchun blushed and said: "My lord smiled, my family has long been sold out, and my father and fellow villagers have already done their best to help, but our army has not been able to get food and supplies...... But adults can't underestimate them, they are really loyal people. ”
