Chapter Ninety-Seven: Heroes Cherish Heroes (First Update, Ask for Recommendation Votes!) )
Guizhou, the provincial capital.
The first thing Ao Bai did after he took office was to clean up the toasts in Shuixi.
These Tusi led by the An clan were not at all at ease, and they secretly helped the Ming army to attack and sabotage, which was very bad in nature.
Hong Chengchou asked Wu Sangui to send troops to suppress it before, but unfortunately Wu Sangui did not contribute to the work, and there was no substantial progress.
Ao Bai was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he would never allow anyone to go wild on his turf.
Not even the local Tusi, the Tusi.
The Eight Banners of Manchuria won the world with cavalry, and Aobai allocated cavalry from various departments to attack the Tusi villages.
But what surprised him was that because of the rugged mountains of Guizhou, the Eight Banners Iron Riders who rode like flying in the past all lost their former demeanor like frosted vegetable leaves.
These Toast stockades were built deep in the mountains, which were very easy to defend and difficult to attack.
The Eight Banners finally climbed in front of the gate of the village, but because of the terrain, they could not attack it for a while and a half, and they were shot by the Tusi soldiers in the stockade.
In such mountainous terrain, it is naturally impossible to transport artillery.
The traditional skills of the Manchurian Eight Banners could not be used in mounted archery.
On the contrary, it was the native soldiers who were more familiar with the local terrain that had a certain advantage.
What's more, they are fighting to defend their homeland, and they are more imposing.
The Qing army could not attack for a long time, and most of its momentum was lost.
Seeing this, Ao Bai could only withdraw his troops.
The teacher is not good, which makes Ao Bai very angry.
After returning to the provincial capital, he rushed to Hong Chengchou and started a fire.
"Guizhou toast has become arrogant like this, why don't you beat it early? Now like this, do they still take the court in their eyes? ”
In the face of Aobai's incompetent rage, Hong Chengchou smiled slightly: "Lord Ao's words are serious, Tusi has been arrogant for a long time, this is something that existed in the previous dynasty. No amount of beating will help. They only believe in strength, and whoever is strong, they submit to whomever they are. ”
This sentence completely choked Aobai.
Hong Chengchou's meaning couldn't be clearer.
If you have the strength, shouldn't you arrange these arrogant toasts clearly? Why did you send troops once and return with a feather?
If you really have the ability, don't shout here, go and shout at the toast.
Although Hong Chengchou didn't say it explicitly, that's what it meant.
How can Ao Bai not be heard?
But what Hong Chengchou said was true, and he couldn't refute it.
After being silent for a long time, Ao Bai said again: "These turtles, sooner or later, Lao Tzu will convince them!" ”
"Lord Ao, I heard that Wu Sangui has led his troops into Anlu, this is to keep in touch with our old age."
Hong Chengchou is now completely disappointed in Wu Sangui, and simply stepped on it, so that he will never be able to turn over.
It's okay not to mention Wu Sangui, but when Hong Chengchou mentions Wu Sangui, he is angry and angry.
"Lao Tzu has already written to the emperor and impeached this guy fiercely. If this kind of arrogant soldier is not arrested, how can he reassure the people? ”
Hong Chengchou wanted this effect, and continued to arch the fire on the side: "It's just that Anlu is still far away from Guizhou, even if Lord Ao wants to arrest him, I'm afraid that Wu Sangui will run away in time when he hears the news." ”
"Lao Tzu doesn't care about so much, Lao Tzu just doesn't like the one surnamed Wu!"
Ao Bai waved his hand and said: "Don't persuade any of you, now I don't have him in Guizhou." Whoever advises me is in a hurry! ”

Shuangyu Island.
After Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan consulted, they had been trying to absorb the remnants of the Qing army from the coast of Ningbo who did not want to suffer the brutal rule of the Qing army.
First, they could not bear to watch their compatriots being bullied and ravaged by the Eastern captives, and secondly, because they really needed some reinforcements.
The main force of the Ming army's naval division must be stationed on the main island of Zhoushan, so the strength of the naval division stationed in Shuangyu will be limited.
Only by appropriately replenishing a part of the troops will the defense of Shuangyu be more stable.
Of course, if it is those remnants who are unwilling to join the army, Zheng Chenggong will not force it. They can live by eating from the sea and fishing.
In addition, the work of clearing the port channels, repairing the houses and warehouses, and re-establishing the forts were all to be done.
Zheng Chenggong found that there was still a long way to go to restore Shuangyu Port to the prosperous state of the Jiajing period.
Just after lunch that day, Zhang Huangyan came to Zheng Chenggong with great interest.
Before the person arrived, the sound came first.
"Big wood, guess who's coming!"
Zheng Chenggong put down the teacup and smiled faintly: "Who can make Brother Cangshui so excited?" ”
"It's He Shouyi, the chief military officer of Siming Mountain, he actually came to the island with his subordinates!"
Zhang Huangyan was as excited as a child, looking very excited.
It turned out that Siming Mountain, where He Shouyi was stationed, was located in Ningbo Prefecture, and Shuangyu Island was across the sea from Dinghai County, Ningbo Prefecture.
It is indeed too far for He Shouyi to go to Zhoushan Island, but it is very convenient to come to Shuangyu Island.
"Well, in that case, we'll have to entertain you."
The Ming Army of Siming Mountain once raised grain and grass to assist Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan, although the number was not too much, but it was always a favor.
"Where are they now?"
"Right outside the house!"
Zhang Huangyan smiled indifferently and said, "Mr. He, come in." ”
He Shouyi strode into the house when he heard the sound, and saw an elegant and handsome man standing next to Zhang Huangyan, and his heart should be Zheng Chenggong.
He took a few steps forward, hugged his fists and said: "He Shouyi, the chief military officer of Siming Mountain, see the king of Yanping County, see Zhang Benbing." ”
"General Soldier He doesn't have to be polite."
Zheng Chenggong looked at the man in front of him carefully.
With dark skin, a body of tendon meat, and a tall and straight figure, he is a good hand in the army at a glance.
"When I heard that the king of Yanping and Zhang Benbing had come to Shuangyu Port, the brothers couldn't sit still, and clamored to follow me to Shuangyu Port to see the two of them with their own eyes. I couldn't help it, so I led them here, don't be surprised. ”
He Shouyi was honest and said the reason for this.
"Haha, these brothers of General He are really temperamental."
Zheng Chenggong paused and said, "Where are they now?" ”
"Just waiting outside the house."
Zheng Chenggong hurriedly said, "Quickly call them in." ”
He Shouyi shouted when he heard the words and said, "Did you hear it, the king of Yanping County told you all to come in!" ”
After a while, four or five sturdy men walked into the house one after another, and they all saluted Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan with fists.
The two bowed their heads and saluted.
"Come on, pour wine for your robes!"
Zheng Chenggong was in a good mood and commanded loudly.
Nowadays, under the general trend of the world, there are fewer and fewer people who are willing to do things for the Ming Court.
A righteous man like He Shouyi who spontaneously resisted the Qing Dynasty and did not take a penny from the imperial court was even more difficult to find.
Zheng Chenggong met today, so he naturally wanted to get together and talk about it.
