This is a win-win situation for Zhou Lianggong's brothers and Min Yuanqi, no matter how strong Liu Zeqing is, it is absolutely impossible to attack the officers and soldiers with the name of the battalion, which is tantamount to open rebellion.

Although Nanming is weak, the Caojiang Battalion, the Langshan Battalion, the Xuzhou Garrison, and the towns controlled by the Governor of Fengyang add up to hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, not to mention that there are ruthless people like Zuo Liangyu and Huang Degong, and he can't afford to provoke these powerful people if he adds a few dares to Liu Zeqing.

Liu Zeqing was also unwilling to surrender at this time, the Shun army was self-contained, and the generals of the Ming army who surrendered were appointed with vigilance, such as Chen Yongfu and other generals, and the appearance of being wary after surrendering was quite obvious.

Both Nanming and Dashun lost a lot of points politically, and even those barbaric Jurchens were far inferior to those barbaric Jurchens when it came to playing politics.

Of course, it was also the Jurchen people who were invincible in the Ming army for decades at this time, and after the middle of Shunzhi, Jin Shengheng, Li Chengdong, Jiang Xiang and other Ming generals rebelled against the Qing Dynasty successively, which shows that the combat power of the Qing army at that time should have declined, and it has been unable to deter the arrogant generals in the late Ming Dynasty.

As for this time, Liu Zeqing is unwilling to surrender, and the surrender of the Qing Dynasty is even more of a shadow, a general like him who was born in the Ming military system, the first choice must still be the old system of the Ming Dynasty.

As long as Min Yuanqi has a name, Liu Zeqing should know how to choose.

The more Zhou Liangmin thought about it, the more excited he became, he punched twice, and then whipped the horse and galloped towards the riverside ferry.

……

The departure of a few horseback traders did not take their eyes off, for there were not a few people leaving.

The killing on the beach was still going on, and although it was far away, the sound of the killing was still quite clear. The crunch of swords cutting human bones, the sound of spears stabbing, the screams and moans of people kept coming, and the sounds of those crying and begging for mercy, even if they knew that this generation deserved to die, their unbearable heart still made many people who hid in the distance and watched the excitement leave.

Min Yuanqi doesn't care about outsiders' perception.

Min Yuanqi is the clearest one in this era about the changes and evolution of the world in front of him, the fall of the imperial court does not exist, the Son of Heaven supports the warlords, the legal system collapses, and the bachelors who have entered the cabinet have to pat the sycophants of the feudal towns, and the warlords and feudal towns have killed and injured more than 10,000 people in the local area, and there is no afterwards, compared with what happened in front of them a few months later, it is no longer a small scene worth mentioning.

For the bandits and pirates who suffered heavy casualties in front of him, Min Yuanqi did not have the slightest sympathy and pity.

In this generation, no matter if they are all killed, the fewer such people in the local area, the more simple the folk customs will be, and the better the local security.

A few hundred generals were still in command in front of the battle, and the cavalry ran far to the north, sweeping away some remnants who ran away, driving more people to the killing field here.

Han Sen caught up, the overall situation has been decided, and there is no need for the pacification officer to lead troops to suppress the rear formation.

Looking at the scene of slashing and killing in front of him, poking and slashing with bayonets, Han Sen was also a little unbearable in his heart, and whispered at the moment: "My lord, we need to employ people over there in the salt pond......"

"If it's an ordinary captive, it's just right to be caught and used as a coolie in the salt pond." Min Yuanqi's mind moved, and then he shook his head and said: "This generation is used to hard work, and it may be fearful and effective at the beginning, but after a long time, it will definitely be tired, and if it lasts for a long time, it will definitely cause trouble." It is extremely uneconomical to send a large number of soldiers and horses to guard it, and as for recruiting and enriching the battalion, it is even more inappropriate to bring my good soldiers to the ground for nothing. ”

Like bandits, mountain thieves, horse bandits, pole pirates, these people are rarely good. To say that there are many poor and vicious people among the rogues, but the main body of the rogues is the people who are coerced, and they are also ordinary people before they are coerced, and the backbone of the main body of the rogues are all bandits or local scoundrels at the beginning, and that kind of people are all unambitious, killing officials, grabbing silver and food, and robbing women for lewd pleasure is their greatest pleasure. Therefore, this generation was exterminated early, and the rising stars Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin, Zhang Xianzhong and other generals and commanders, the most significant feature is that they are not bandits, scoundrels, Li Zicheng was first a post soldier and then a border army, and he did a job in the border army. Zhang Xianzhong also served as a border soldier and became a personal soldier of the general army, these people have risen to prominence everywhere, but the obvious feature is that they are by no means scoundrels who plague the locality.

From Qi Jiguang to Li Zicheng, if the army wants to maintain its combat strength, those slick scoundrels are absolutely unusable, and having more of these people in the army will only affect the original simple and daring good soldiers, and the combat effectiveness of the entire army will decline.

Han Sen's lips pursed, but he didn't say anything more.

Everyone looked at the beach, most of the bandits were driven to the narrow area of Li Xu Fangyuan, everyone saw that Shen Liang and the others had already lined up in a row, and the fire guns were less than twenty steps apart, and they kept shooting towards the group of bandits, and even Han Sen was a little distressed, this is not a waste of medicine?

However, Min Yuanqi had no intention of stopping Shen Liang, such a good training opportunity, giving the firecrackers to keep shooting firecrackers on the real battlefield, what a rare opportunity is this?

This time, everyone in the entire fire gun flag team has become a rookie and transformed into an elite, and then a batch of fire guns will be made, each veteran will bring three or five people, and a fire gun will be formed.

How much can a well-lit firearm always play a role, and more to say?

Min Yuanzhong, Min Yuanjin, Gao Cuncheng, Yang Zhijin, Xie Xiang, Wang Wumai, Xu Wenhuan, Guo Shangyi...... All the military attachés, including the head of the flag, were holding flag guns, spears, boring handles, and waist knives, constantly slashing and stabbing.

No matter how these bandits and pirates beg for mercy or grit their teeth to resist, there is no possibility of a reversal of the war until this time.

Even some brave people want to drag a few flag soldiers on their backs, it is extremely difficult, the flag army is still in the form of columns constantly interspersed with the bandit remnants, the slightest person who takes the lead wants to gather people to resist, they are immediately rushed, and the leader is immediately killed.

After the bandits were surrounded, the banner army had two more general formations, spears like forests, constantly squeezing and killing, and at this moment, there were not many remaining bandits, and most of them were either dead or wounded.

Seeing that the situation was not good, more people ran into the sea, some of the good ones swam farther and farther, and the bad ones also swam desperately to the sea, but most of them were beaten back by the big waves, not killed, but drowned by the surging seawater.

In the evening, when Li Kecheng, Min Qiande and others, who had arrived on horseback, arrived at the beach, there were a large number of floating corpses floating on the sea, and the shore was also full of corpses.

Xie Xiang, who was carrying a knife, led the knife men to pick up the corpses on the shore, and those who did not die were given a knife, and the scene looked extremely cruel and bloody.

Li Kecheng looked trembling, looking at Tie Qing, but in fact, his body was trembling slightly.

This five-grade thousand households have never experienced the battle formation at all, and the biggest battle is nothing more than to take more than 1,000 banner troops to escort more than 100 boats to the north, in addition, Li Kecheng has never seen any battle formations, and it is the first time in his life to see such a thing in front of him. Before coming here, Li Kecheng still had the idea of beating Min Yuanqi Yanchi, and he was even secretly contacting him, but at this moment, Li Kecheng only felt that his previous ideas were dangerous and absurd.

"Brother Min, the Min family is really the first-class family of our Dahewei." Li Kecheng looked at Min Qiande, who had a pale face, and said with his heart: "Today's matter, if it weren't for the children of the Min family as the mainstay, I'm afraid that the military households and people of our Yunti Pass would suffer." ”

Min Qiande has not actually recovered from the shock, in his thoughts bandits and pirates are powerful, Min Yuanqi most of them have to rely on the three hundred households to defend, when the time comes, the city and the remaining hundred households are afraid that they will also have to gather troops to help the war, this means that he has also sent someone to inform Min Yuanqi, who would have thought that this nephew would quietly lead the troops to cross the river to meet the attack, before the battle, he actually didn't know at all!

And looking at his son who was riding a horse chasing the enemy, Min Qiande was even more incredulous.

Several of his sons are planning to be born in the imperial examination, Min Yuanzhi is the eldest son, and he has been carefully cultivated since he was a child, and at the age of seventeen, he is already quite a scholar.

The result was unsatisfactory, although Min Yuanzhi was polite and outstanding, but he participated in the government examination several times and returned with a feather.

The county test is easy, as long as you are not stupid enough to go home, from childhood to teens, it is still quite easy to pass the county test. At this time, there are only two prefectures in Jiangbei and Yangzhou, and the counties under the rule of Huai'an are all populous, and the counties in Jiangbei must not be compared with Jiangnan, but compared with the northern provinces, it is not bad at all, and it is really difficult to get ahead in such a big government examination.

Min Yuanzhi participated in the government examination, and every time he had to compete with more than 1,000 scholars, he failed every time.

Min Qiande doesn't blame his son, being able to pass the county exam shows that at least he still uses his heart to study, many gentlemen pretend to read with books every day, but they can't even pass the county exam, not to mention the more difficult government exam.

Min Qiande originally still had a glimmer of hope, after all, Min Yuanzhi was still very young, and he might be able to pass the government exam after a few more exams, and then he would be able to impact the hospital exam.

If it is blessed by the ancestors, and he has passed the hospital and has become a showman, even if his hard work is not in vain.

After all, the scholarly door is different from the general's door, the general's door only needs to be out of a generation to stand firm, and the descendants can bear the ancestral shade, but the scholarly door is to operate for many generations, the family learning is endless, and the generations at least have to show their talents to keep the family business from falling.

Min Qiande's idea is that the next generation can show talents, the next generation of Min Yuanzhi can produce talents, and the next generation can be Jinshi, and when the family is out of Jinshi, the Min family's road from the Weisho family to the official gentry family can be regarded as a success.

It turned out that things turned out completely unexpected!

Min Yuanzhi wore armor and helmets, held a long flag gun, galloped on horseback, shot from time to time, and his movements were as fast as lightning, although the twisting of the horse and the gun still had an obvious sense of jerkiness, but with his commanding demeanor, all kinds of rapid convergence and then scattering, the formation change of the cavalry and the killing effect of the bandits and pirates were enough to cover up the slight shortcomings of this weak-crowned young man.

"This son of a." Tears appeared faintly in Min Qiande's eyes, and the gray-haired old man muttered: "It's really a natural general...... It's also good, it happens to be Yuan Qi's right-hand man! ”
