Chapter 764: Attacking and Defending (7)
This Goshha is named Nudahai, born under the banner of Zhengbai Flag Manchuria, and was originally under the umbrella of Yu Ding. Although he is only a Goshha next to Hong Chengchou, his status is low. However, even Inspector Hong himself did not dare to underestimate him, and he had to be polite to him on weekdays. It's just that he has a very hard identity,
Born in the Tashan system!
Nudahai, who was originally just Yu Ding, relied on his military exploits on the Tashan battlefield, from Yu Ding to Qi Ding, and from infantry armor to horse armor, and from horse armor to Bayala, half of which relied on the military merit head he cut off, and half of it was also his lucky fortune. It's a pity that his blessing ended here. Other members of the Tashan system, such as Cao Beile, needless to mention, what Gushan Ezhen, Meler Zhangjing's official position, Jialazhangjing's, Jialazhangjing's rank, Niu Lu Zhangjing's position, not to mention the car's bucket volume, is also about the same. It's just a mix of general, and he also has the title of Niu Lu Zhangjing, or he goes to the green camp to serve as a general, garrison and other errands. It's a pity that this Nudahai is a good thing to go into battle, but when it comes to being a man and an official, it is very bad. After several tosses, he was finally assigned to Inspector Hong, and served as the leader of Hong Chengchou's Goshha with the identity of Niu Lu Zhangjing under the White Banner Manchuria, the rank of Sipin.
Although the official rank is false, Hong Chengchou does not dare to take him seriously as a clothed slave, he is a slave of Dolgon, but he is not his slave of Hong Chengchou. What's more, there is also a powerful and intertwined Tashan group behind Nudahai. was really informed by this invisible and untouchable Tashan system, that he Hong Hengjiu regarded their Tashan comrades as a messenger to drink and drink, which really offended this group of masters.
Therefore, Nudahai has no fear of speaking and doing things in front of Hong Chengchou. In his opinion, with Lao Tzu's military qualifications, it is not too much to be a general and deputy general in the green battalion. Now he has come to one of your vassals to act as a guard. Lao Tzu has already carried his luck to this point, how can he carry it again? Therefore, I don't care much about what I say.
Today, his words were louder, but they were heard clearly by Hong Chengchou.
"Nudahai, what did you just say?" Hong Chengchou was a little panicked for no reason, but he didn't know where the panic came from. He tried to control himself, so that his voice was as smooth and stable as possible, so that no one could hear the slightest trembling.
"Back to the words of the adult, the slave just said that when he was in Tashan, Li Huamei attacked with more than 100,000 elite soldiers, rockets and artillery fire in the sky, and we were not afraid at that time. Now, it is the turn of our hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Qing Dynasty to kill Songjiang Mansion, it is their turn to defend, and the offense and defense have changed shape, but what are we still worried about? ! ”
"What do you say?! Tower Hill?! Offensive!? Hong Chengchou couldn't help but feel dizzy in front of his eyes, the candlestick on the table and the glass copper wire lamps hanging on the roof of the cabin shook in front of his eyes, and the bursts of Venus flickered, almost making him fall to the ground.
He knew where the fear in his heart was coming from.
Today's Jiangnan has actually become a tower mountain magnified by Li Huabao. And Bolo is the original Li Huamei. No matter how many soldiers and horses there are, they are still divided into pieces by the water network of rivers and lakes in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is impossible to maneuver quickly. Moreover, as the progress progressed smoothly and the battle line was gradually extended, the dispatch of soldiers and horses became more and more inconvenient, and the soldiers and horses that could be put into the former enemy to fight against the Nanyue army became less and less.
Under this circumstance, in the face of the concentrated forces of the Nanyue Army and the intensive artillery fire, the hundreds of thousands of people in Boluo were the main force of the Liaodong Ming Army led by his Hongdu Division.
"Alas! This general is also a person who has been fighting for many years, and has grown up in the battlefield with knives and guns since childhood, how can he make the same mistake as I did back then?! ”
Inspector Hong felt remorseful in his heart, and couldn't help but chop the floor under his feet for a while, and the muffled sound of banging continued, Rao is Nudahai is a figure who survived the battle on the Tashan battlefield, but he is also a little afraid, the lethality and deterrence of the power in his camp are far more ferocious than the enemy's artillery fire. Don't forget, a role such as a special correspondent from Shanghai can make the chairman and commander-in-chief of the year be tossed to death. A person whose qualifications, merits, and abilities are not first-class can be regarded as first-class after becoming the general secretary, and he will be able to give instructions to his leaders at all levels in those years, and his leaders can only listen carefully to the instructions below and take good notes. The most bastard thing is that this little devil is running the train with a mouthful of mouth, but his nonsense has completely messed up the country's policy and plan, and the harm is endless. Therefore, if power cannot be effectively controlled, it will really cause chaos and mislead the country.
"It's broken! It was probably Lao Tzu who spoke just now and poked at the sore spot of this barbarian surnamed Hong. When Lao Tzu was fighting in Tashan, he was still in Guangning Mansion as his Da Ming Ji Liao Governor! I don't know what this dog barbarian will do with Lao Tzu? Hum! As long as Lao Tzu does not die, Lao Tzu will go to the Lord Regent to cry and complain, suing this dog barbarian! Nudahai was thinking about what Hong Chengchou might do with him next, and how he should deal with it.
However, Hong Chengchou couldn't take care of him for a while.
"Grinding ink! Get a pen and paper! This official wants to write a letter to General Bolo and remind him not to fall for the Southern Barbarian Li Huabao's plan to lure the enemy in! ”
A few snow-white letterheads were spread out, and the scholar grinded a thick black ink on an inkstone on the side, but found that his master and Lao Dou was holding a purple brush in his hand, looking at the letter paper on the table with the words "Xuanfu Envoy Hong's special note" on his head, and he was stunned for a while.
"Cole." He asked himself in a low voice that was somewhat hoarse and distorted. This name was given to him after he received this scholar from Xiaodan. Others don't know what it means, and they think it's Ke'er, the nickname of "Keren'er". However, only he knows what Ko'er, the daughter of the Korqin grassland, means. He still can't forget the Mongolian woman who was in the Sanguan Temple that night. The little mare galloping around him. "No wonder Li Weiru likes to collect women of different races into the room, and it is really different from the daughter of the Central Plains! If the Qing Dynasty can unify the country, the old man will have to collect some beauties from all ethnic groups and all over the world, which can be regarded as the peace of the world, and the five continents will enjoy together! ”
"Do you know where this ink comes from?"
"Back to the master, isn't this all from the procurement of general affairs? If the master thinks it's not good, then the slave will send him a message tomorrow and ask him to purchase some fine products in this Huai'an Mansion. ”
"No need. I'm afraid that when I get to the capital, I may not be able to purchase anything else. Hong Chengchou came up with such a sentence out of nowhere. The white-eyed, white-lipped scholar and the people in the cabin were all close to him, but they were all confused by what he said.
"This paper, this ink, are all from Li Shouhan's rule. Even Jianghuai, which is known as a place where humanities gather and the origin of the four treasures of the study, uses the paper and ink of his Li family, where else is not the paper and ink of his Li family? Hong Chengchou sighed in his heart. To sum it up in a vulgar sentence, due to historical limitations, Hong Chengchou's head from the two rankings of Jinshi has broken through, and he can't think of concepts and means such as commodity dumping. He only saw the scene of Nanzhong commodities rampaging in the market all over the way along the way, that is, he, a member of the imperial court, wrote inconspicuous things such as letterheads and ink on the table, all of which came from Nanzhong.
"From guns to gunpowder, from grain, oil, salt, to cloth, silk, and satin, and those that are not from Nanzhong?" Hong Chengchou wrote a letter to warn Bolo not to advance too fast, so as not to fall for Li Huabao's tricks, and at the same time, he was thinking about the flood of southern goods in his mind. Although there are fewer and fewer southern Minambu at present, gunpowder guns are even more difficult to find. However, other southern goods still abound in the market. "Alas! On the one hand, they confronted me on the battlefield, and on the other hand, they had a large number of goods for sale under our Qing Dynasty. I am in the Qing Dynasty, on the one hand, the daily combat expenses are more than 10,000 gold, and on the other hand, a large amount of silver money flows into the pockets of Nanzhong merchants! What should this be? ”
Write a thousand words, rely on the horse. Hong Chengchou's pen work is very good, and he already has quite a formed idea in his mind, so he naturally does it with a wave. A letter was written, and I read it again under the light, and there were no mistakes or mistakes, and I copied it again in small letters, signed in a monogram, and used a stamp. He ordered someone to take the large seal of Guan Fang, and used Guan Fang on the envelope cover.
Summoned the Xingyuan Chinese army, "Order people to set off overnight, go south along the canal, cross the river quickly, send it to the enemy in front of Songjiang Mansion, and face the general Boluo Wangye!" Be sure to send it to the general within three days! Officials along the way, if there is any obstruction, there will be no forgiveness! ”
The Chinese army was embarrassed, looking at the murderous look on Hong Chengchou's white face, and said a little in his mouth, "My lord, I'm afraid that it won't work within three days, and if you look at it from the mark, you will go south along the canal within three days, and I'm afraid you won't even be able to reach the riverside." ”
"What do you mean by that?!" Hong Chengchou finally broke out, the Hong madman back then, the Hong Demon King instantly returned to the Xuanfu envoy Hong. One husband is angry, and thousands of people are easy. What's more, a high-powered man? Seeing Hong Chengchou's furiousness, with a look of imminent murder, everyone in the cabin was covered in cold sweat, except for Xingyuan Zhongjun and Scholar Ke'er, everyone knelt on the ground.
Xingyuanzhong's military eyes swept Nu Dahai, "This dog minion, he must be rude in his words and actions, which annoyed Lord Xuanfu, and I will have to borrow your head to calm the anger of the adult for a while." "My lord, at dinnertime, the river yamen sent a military intelligence report, and the Shao Bo lock in Yangzhou in the south was attacked by bandits two days ago and burned the lock. At present, the locks are seriously damaged, the canal is drained, and the boats in the river cannot move! ”
"What do you say?! How do small bandits know that the nuisance has burned down the locks on the canal? "Lord Hong is really going to kill someone!
The lock, also known as the "box lock". It is composed of a lock chamber, a gate head, a gate, a pilot channel and corresponding equipment. When the ship goes up, first drain the water in the lock chamber, wait for the indoor water level to be level with the downstream water level, open the downstream gate, let the ship enter the lock chamber, then close the downstream gate, fill the lock chamber with water, and when the water surface of the lock chamber is level with the upstream water level, open the upstream gate, and the ship will sail out of the lock chamber and enter the upstream channel. The opposite is true when going down.
The Shao Bo Lock, located on the Li Canal, is a condensation of the history of China's canals. China is one of the first countries in the world to build locks. In 214 B.C., Qin Shi Huang built the steep gate on the Ling Canal in Guangxi, which was to use a single gate to adjust the water difference and ensure the smooth navigation of ships. From the construction of the ditch in the Spring and Autumn Period, to the later transportation of water and salt in the Grand Canal, until the Ming and Qing dynasties, the water transportation function of the Grand Canal reached its peak.
And the Shao Bo lock is from the hand of Xie An, who left us a lot of allusions and idioms in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. After the victory of the Battle of Weishui, Xie An was crowned Taibao and supervised the military of fifteen states, and his weight was for a while. Later, due to the jealousy of the royal family, Xie An was forced to ask to leave the town of Guangling, which is now Yangzhou. In a place called Buqiu (now Shao Bo) in the northeast of Yangzhou, 20 miles northeast, the city was built and troops were stationed.
He found that the topography of Buqiu City was high in the west and low in the east, and the farmland in the west was often affected by drought and the farmland in the east was prone to waterlogging, so he led the people to build embankments to keep out the water. Set up a tugboat to pass through the dai (embankment) of the winch pass, when called "daicheng". Since then, the construction of a new embankment has ensured the safety of the local side, and ships between the Yangtze River and the Huai River are still navigable as usual. In order to thank Xie An's virtue, the local people compared him to the noble Zhao Bo (the ancient saying called the same Shao) in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the embankment built was named "Shao Bodai". This is the oldest boat crossing facility on the Grand Canal.
In the Tang and Song dynasties, with the important position of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in the communication between the north and south of China, the locks on the canal also developed rapidly. At that time, the Shao Bo lock had developed into a three-door and two-chamber lock, that is, a double-chamber lock with two steps, similar to the current Three Gorges five-level lock. It has a considerable scale and can be called the first in China. A Japanese monk named Cheng Xun, in his book "The Legend of Wutai Mountain", there is such a record: "Chen Shi to Shao Bo Town, get on the boat, before the time, open the water gate two." The next time I opened a door, I went out of the ship. ”
The meaning of this passage is that during the Song Dynasty, the Japanese monk Cheng Xun took a boat along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to the north, and when he passed the Shao Bo lock, it was difficult to sail because of the small difference in water level on the river. The south end of the two locks was closed, and then the north end was opened to let in the canal water. After the water level in the lock room rises, open the lock again, and the fleet can go out of the gate and continue north, the great literati of the Northern Song Dynasty, Su Zhe, also has such a record in "He Zizhan and the second grandson Jue's advice on the rhyme and the county Bozha on the Douye Pavilion to see the mail": "The flat boat is not understood, and the two gates are flat." This fully shows that the Shao Bo lock at that time was already a three-door and two-room lock.
In his diary, the Japanese monk Cheng Xun recorded the experience of the Shao Bo lock. At that time, the boat he was riding was going from the south to the north, and it was very smooth. But when he was traveling from the north to the south, the locks were so crowded that he could only spend the night on board. From this story, it can be seen that the Shao Bo lock has been a north-south traffic artery since ancient times. And the reason why he stayed on the ship at that time was only because there were too many ships going south from the north to pass through the locks, and he had to queue up to pass through.
However, such a north-south choke point was easily destroyed by someone. The main north-south traffic artery is broken at a key point, the communication between the south and the north is broken, and the personnel and materials are all stranded, how can it not be annoying?!
"Do you know who did it?" Inspector Hong's voice sounded as cold in Nudahai's ears as cold as the mountains and forests in the east and snow of the Liaodong wind, and it was even more terrifying than Li Huamei's rockets that were overwhelming on the Tashan battlefield.
It is reported that it was committed by the Yuan Cao gang who threw themselves into Li Liang. This generation was in the hands of Li Liang and benefited a lot back then. Today, although Li Liang has fled to Shanghai, he still relies on the convenience of sailing on the rivers and seas to give this generation official documents, allocate knives, guns and equipment, and give military salaries. Ordered them to attack and sabotage behind our army, intercept and kill our Qing officials, and cut off the documents to and from the post station. ”
"No wonder! This generation is a person who begs for a living on the canal, and naturally knows where the most important thing is on the canal! Hong Chengchou was not angry, but showed a slight smile on his face.
"Go! Get that military report from the river yamen! Inspector Hong commanded in a loud voice.
After a while, the military newspaper was taken, and Inspector Hong held the pen in his hand, and wrote the dragon and snake on the military newspaper, and ordered the river yamen to repair the Shao Bo lock within three days, otherwise, come and see you! "Who is the general of the Yangzhou River Defense Battalion?"
"Back to my lord, it's reported to be 。。。。。"
"No matter who he is, whether he is a Manchurian haha bead or something, pass on the official's order, and correct this person on the spot to set an example! It's missing," Inspector Hong's eyes rolled, and his gaze was fixed on Nudahai, who was kneeling on the ground and didn't dare to move.
"There will be a white flag Manchurian Niu Lu Zhang Jing, and the four-rank official Nu Dahai will take over!" Reading it in his mouth, the purple lang brush in his hand is a little bit, and a commission is even written.
"Nudahai, you are good on the battlefield, and leaving you by the side of this official to do things is indeed wronged you! The official let you go to Yangzhou, and you guarded this section of the Yangzhou Canal for the master. Take out your ability in Tashan to the official, do a good job for the master, and don't break your prestige in Tashan! ”
In between breaths, Nudahai has changed from a goshha who is driven by people to be sent to Yangzhou, the first blessed land in the world and the first gold cave. This luck suddenly made people's eyes explode red when they saw him. And Nudahai himself was also a little dizzy by the sudden arrival of great happiness. Just now he was worried about his life and death, but at this moment, he is a figure on one side, and the huge contrast is ten times stronger than Fan Jinzhong's.
Waving his hand to signal Nudahai, who was kowtowing in gratitude, to withdraw, Hong Chengchou was still worried, the canal traffic was cut off, and he could only send someone to ride south.
"I don't know if I can send it to Prince Boluo in time."
Looking at the southern sky, he could only pray secretly.
