Chapter 791: The Style of That Shot!

The hurricane began at the end of Qingping. The same was true of the war in Shanghai.

Under the attacks of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and in the face of the fortifications built by the Hongwu army relying on the water network port, every attack of the Qing army ended with the loss of a different number of corpses and wounded soldiers.

Since it was impossible to annihilate the Hongwu Army in a field battle, the Qing army changed its thinking. Your Hongwu army will build bunkers, build forts, and dig long trenches, but my Qing soldiers and horses will not? Your Hongwu army relies on rivers, lakes and ports to and fro for convenient transportation, so we don't have ships? Your Hongwu army will build wooden fences on rivers and set up artillery fire to control the river surface, and my soldiers and horses in the Qing Dynasty will not build wooden fences in the narrow places where the river turns and the water flows slowly, fill them with sand and gravel wood behind the wooden fences, and build them into wooden cities, and set up artillery on the wooden cities to block the river?

For a time, the war between the two sides began to be a field army duel bombarded by spears, halberds, and artillery, and it became a struggle between relying on the fortress against the fortress, with the fortress as the core, and the struggle for and guarding. Anyway, Bolo's men have surrendered Green Banner soldiers and horses, so there is no need to worry about having no cannon fodder to squander. After draining one battalion and then going to the next battalion, at most spend some silver, and give the arrears of military pay to the officer with the army to make up for it.

Since Duoduo led more than 1,000 Manchurian soldiers and horses with white flags all the way south, hundreds of thousands of Ming officers and soldiers surrendered along the way, and for the convenience of command, the imperial father regent Dolgon issued a decree clarifying the banner, establishment, and food system of these new annexed armies.

Originally, Dolgon planned to fulfill his father Nurhachi's wish, and based on these new annexes, and then use his brother's soldiers and horses as the backbone, he remade a black flag or other colors, and made up a full five colors and ten flags. However, it was strongly opposed by the generals and princes of the Han army of various banners. Even Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, expressed strong dissatisfaction.

The reason is very simple.

The banners of the Han army were formed on the basis of the Han people who were attached to the customs and the Han people who entered the customs and plundered, and they were naturally unwilling to let this label fade and depreciate after they had the label of the banner man to flaunt their qualifications and identity. Well, it's like saying that the same Han is a traitor, and one says that Lao Tzu came out of Shannan in 59. Another despised Dao Lao Tzu was returned to the Republic of China from Korea in 53. Naturally, these two people should despise those who defected to the lighthouse after the reform and opening up, especially 40 years after the founding of the People's Republic of China. A typical bus mentality, the people who get on the bus naturally have to yelling at the people under the bus, squeezing what to squeeze, waiting!

As a result, these new annexes could only fly the green military flag, which was temporarily called the green flag soldiers. The status is lower than the soldiers and horses of Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, who made them submit after entering the customs?

The flag is green, and the organization has been changed. Originally, the establishment of the Ming army was just one word, chaos! The battalion was mixed. One will be the guard system, and the other will be the battalion system. For a while, the guard post and the battalion system were mixed, and the guard post provided soldiers and food and grass to the battalion soldiers. At the beginning of the Jiajing period, five people were one team, two soldiers were the team, three teams were the team, the third team was the whistle, the five posts were the general, and the five were the battalion. Later, Qi Jiguang changed to 12 people as a team, three teams as flags, three flags as bureaus, four bureaus as divisions, two divisions as departments, and three divisions as battalions.

Dolgon organized the surrendered soldiers and horses according to the four levels of town, association, battalion, and flood, with the battalion as the basic unit. Each battalion had roughly 500 to 600 men, and the horse and artillery battalions were different. In general, the official position is set up as the general soldier of the town and the assistant as the deputy general. The battalion is garrisoned. Of course, this is not a big deal for those generals who surrendered, according to the strength of the head and weapons and horses! It's a big deal, let's just grab the head of Zhuang Dingla, during the troubled times, there were a lot of people who wanted to eat military food.

This brings us to the salary system. I have to say that after the Qing army entered the customs, the reason why the former Ming army that was about to collapse overnight became like a wolf and a tiger was not because they had a combat effectiveness bonus after shaving their heads, and they did not have the help of the three inspections and three rectifications and the grievance campaign, but a relatively sufficient supply of food and salary.

The imperial salary seal stipulates that the horsemen of each town are paid 2 taels of silver per month, 1.5 taels of infantry, and 1 tael of guards. Horses, infantry, warfare, and defense armies are each paid 5 buckets of rice per month. Later, it was changed to 5 buckets of rice in the south of the Huai River, and 3 buckets of rice and 2 buckets of noodles in the north of the Huai River. Then one horse per horse, nine buckets of beans in winter and spring, and thirty bunches of grass (4.2kg per bunch) are given a number of salt.

Bolo had in his hand the silver looted from all over the south of the Yangtze River after crossing the river in the south, so he naturally did not worry about the lack of military salaries. However, he still kept a hand for these green flag soldiers under his command, basically deducting two months' military salary in hand, only if you go into battle and fight fiercely and tenaciously, this king will give it according to the number, and then there is a good thing to supplement the number of soldiers to keep the establishment. Otherwise, you will wait for your battalion to collect your arrears and go home to eat old rice after the fight is over!

As the fortifications became more and more complete, the two sides gradually focused their attention on artillery battles and platoon gun fire, and there were often heavy exchanges of guns between the two sides across the river. However, this war of attrition happened to fall into the hands of Li Huamei and Li Huabao. The last thing they need is supplies. Now, with the sea at its back and the water network with dense rivers in front of it, the Qing army can't use it no matter how many soldiers and horses there are. Gradually, the Qing army's supplies, especially gunpowder and shells and other combat materials, were scarce, and the artillery gradually declined, whether offensive or defensive. The balance of the contrast between friend and foe gradually tilted to the side of the Hongwu Army. However, the straw that overwhelmed the scales was a little girl. She is the aforementioned Lyudmila, whose Chinese name is Lyudni.

With Li Huaying's letter and ferry ticket, Lyudmila came to Shanghai on a clipper boat, and because of Li Huaying's letter of recommendation, Ao Lei Yilan personally greeted this blonde girl. Of course, as Ao Lei Yilan, in fact, even if there is Li Huaying's recommendation, there is no need to greet it in person. However, who made Ao Lei Yilan also a person who likes to be lively? I heard that Li Huaying sent a sharpshooter who can surpass Yang Yuji, and she is still a foreign girl, which immediately made Ao Lei Yilan's little curiosity stir, and she was quite proud in her heart, so that you always say that the old lady is a barbarian woman who married a rude martial artist, and now there is a capable barbarian woman!

After meeting, Ao Lei Yilan didn't even care about daily etiquette, and asked directly: "Sister, I heard that you can shoot off the lantern in 200 steps, can you give me a performance." Lyudmila smiled: "The lantern is dead, it's too boring, let's go and get a job." When Ao Lei Yilan heard that this was not what I wanted, she took Lyudmila to the suburbs, and happened to see a few birds, Lyudmila didn't have a gun on her shoulder, a gunshot rang out, and a bird fell to the ground instantly, and Ao Lei Yilan and the people around her were dumbfounded. Aolei Yilan made a decision on the spot, and allocated forty elite soldiers to Lyudmila, all of whom were the top assassins of the firecracker, and Lyudmila could act independently, hunt the Qing army freely, and be directly responsible to Aolei Yilan, without obeying the command of others. In addition, several female soldiers were sent to take care of Lyudmila's life.

Lyudmila is naturally very happy, but she also understands that this trust and power need to be supported by achievements. It just so happened that as soon as Lyudmila finished running in with the newcomers, Bolo launched a large-scale offensive, facing the trenches and artillery of the Qing army, and the front line urgently needed artillery fire to block the Qing army's bridge repair operation. Lyudmila took the lead, he immediately led the team to the front line, and in the first battle, he made a good start. On that day, the Qing army relied on artillery to cover the repair of the bridge, because the Qing army had a large number of artillery, so the Hongwu army was suppressed for a while, and it was impossible to prevent the Qing army from repairing the bridge. Lyudmila arrived in time and, with the rifled gun in her hand, fired four shots at a distance of one hundred and fifty paces, killing three Qing soldiers, including one thousand officers.

The Qing army was in an uproar and was about to retreat, when the Manchurian officer of the Eight Banners who was supervising the battle on the fort poked his head out and cursed angrily, but Lyudmila sent him to Fokulun with one shot. At this moment, the Qing army can no longer hold on, and if they want to die, it is a common thing and acceptable, but what makes them unbearable is, where did this gun come from? I didn't see anyone, even if it was a cannon, there was a shadow of the shell? Who can stand this confused death.

Subsequently, Lyudmila attacked several times, and the Qing army officers in front of her acted either to recognize the flag or to be followed by Ma Ben's own soldiers, which was as obvious as a light in the dark night in the eyes of Lyudmila and her men. In less than a month, more than 200 Qing troops and more than 30 officers were shot and killed, which greatly dealt a blow to the morale of the Qing army, especially the morale of the officers. As they slowly became familiar with Lyudmila's tactics, they found that it seemed that the clothes they were wearing were pits! It's like a beecomb in front of a blind bear! Although I don't know who fired the shot, the bullet was clearly for the best-dressed. So, the wise men began to put on the clothes of soldiers and put their men in bright clothes. The result really worked wonders, watching the soldiers die in gorgeous clothes one by one, and the living officers celebrated with their crowns, it turned out that it was such a good thing that the dead friends did not die and the poor did not die. Then, such a good advanced experience naturally could not be hidden, and it was quickly accepted by all front-line troops. After all, even if it is a shame, it is ten thousand times better than death.

The stagnation of the front line naturally attracted Bolo's attention, and Bolo originally wanted to go to the front line to see it in person, but Turg stopped him: "General, you go to the front line as an identity, don't you seem that we are incompetent, or a minion!" Besides, there are some things that you are not easy to do, and you are a rough man, not afraid of offending people. What kind of Southern Barbarian demon method, in the eyes of the minions, it seems that these cowards are soaked in the bones of the beauties and wine in the south of the Yangtze River. Wait for the minions to kick them twice and whip them twice, and they will know what they have to do. ”

Bolo was speechless, so he agreed with Turg. At the same time, for the sake of safety, a note was issued and the troops and horses of Yue Lesuo in the direction of Hangzhou were transferred to increase the superiority of troops.

And Turg was really unkind, and when he arrived at the front line, he cut off the heads of several officers and ordered the three armies without saying a word. The reason is that these people actually let the guards put on their clothes, and they hide behind to command. Turg was so angry that he directly asked people to tie them up, and they couldn't help but pull them out and cut off their heads. Seeing the officer being killed, the soldiers were naturally afraid, so they rushed up without their lives, and for a while there was really some effect, not only to boost morale, but also to make breakthroughs in several points. Turg, who had achieved results, was naturally proud, so he came to Yue Le's position with confidence, ready to show off to this young boy to see who had the real ability.

As a result, when their horse team arrived at Yue Le's position, Turg saw the last thing he wanted, all the people on the position were frantically digging trenches, or filling straw bags with excavated gravel and dirt piles in front of the trenches as a breastwork. And Yue Le's kid, who he almost didn't recognize, was dressed in the clothes of an ordinary soldier, digging trenches covered in mud and water, and at the same time his vigilant eyes kept looking around, as if there was a life-seeking judge hiding around. Seeing this situation, Turge suddenly became angry, he even forgot that Yue Le and Bolo were brothers, went up and grabbed Yue Le, and scolded angrily: "Yue Le, what are you doing again?" If you want to be a shrinking turtle alone, forget it, and let everyone follow you as a shrinking turtle. It stands to reason that Yue Le was angry when he was scolded like this, but Yue Le said in an almost pleading tone: "Don't say it, your head is exposed outside the trench now, it's too dangerous, squat down." ”

Turg shook off Yue Le and said: "What are you afraid of, there is no cannon on the other side, even if the river bank is a hundred steps away from you, not to mention that you don't see anyone on the other side, even if there is, put an elephant here, he can't hit it." Enraged, Turg completely forgot the difference in the identities of the two people. He is just the son of Eyidu, Elu, and Huang Taiji's brother-in-law, but Yue Le in front of him is Nurhachi's grandson, the son of his old prefect Abatai, and his master. Moreover, no matter how Yue Le compares, Yue Le's identity and official position are above him.

Yue Le didn't mean to give up at all, he almost begged Turg to squat down quickly, but Turge not only refused to squat, but instead pointed to the opposite side and began to scold angrily: "The Southern Barbarian who has no eggs, your grandfather Turg is here, you have demon magic, even if you come to me, I want to see if your demon magic is powerful, or my Turge is powerful." ”

What Turg didn't know was that precisely because of these words, his life would end there. On a small dirt slope on the opposite bank of the river, there is a small forest full of lonely graves, because this place is unlucky, so neither the Nanyue army nor the Qing army pay much attention to it. However, this area was favored by Lyudmila, who thought that it had a wide field of view, could deploy small teams, and was convenient for concealment and retreat, so she set up a sniper point here. However, in the past few days, Lyudmila has been very angry, obviously killing a lot of gorgeously dressed people, but judging from the way the corpses were dragged away and the reaction of the Qing army, it is obvious that these people are ordinary soldiers pretending to be officers. Therefore, not only did not have much success in the past few days, but also almost exposed the sniper point. Lyudmila is a young girl, and she has been proud of the spring breeze recently, so she naturally doesn't allow herself to have no grades, so she can't explain it to Ao Lei Yilan.

At this moment, an officer who looked at his clothes as a senior official appeared in Lyudmila's sight, and saw him patrolling everywhere, commanding and commanding, and at first glance he was a man who had been an official for a long time. The female soldiers around her were happy, and hurriedly said to Lyudmila: "Sister Liu, look, this person who came back here should be an official, so let's be considered a meat producer." Lyudmila was holding a dog's tail grass in her mouth nonchalantly, looked at it with a telescope and said, "No, these days, the other side is almost a mouse who has been trained by me, and suddenly such a one pops up, probably to find out where we are." If we are exposed, it is estimated that this small dirt slope will be leveled by artillery immediately.

At this moment, Turg's angry scolding reached Lyudmila's ears, and thanks to Turg's loud voice, Lyudmila heard every word clearly. Lyudmila has never been a good-tempered person, and when she saw someone so arrogant, she had long forgotten that she was exposed, and she raised her gun at that time, and at the same time ordered: "Everyone retreat immediately." When the female soldiers heard this, they asked, "What about you, come with us." Lyudmila smiled and said, "Of course I'm leaving, but ... Lyudmila paused and said, "After dealing with the bastard on the other side." After speaking, he ignored them, adjusted his crosshair breath as quickly as possible, and quietly waited for the most appropriate moment to come.

With a dull gunshot, Turg's body fell to the ground, and less than a minute had passed before he had finished saying that he would not be able to hit even the elephant with his head. Yue Le was naturally grief-stricken, only to see him lie directly to the bottom of the trench, lamenting and saying to his subordinates: "Turg died for me, you must properly transport his body to the rear and bury it well." In addition, tell the minions that if you have nothing to do, don't probe, if you want to fight, we will go together. These days, I have also figured out that there don't seem to be many life-seeking firearms on the other side, and if the army really rushes together, it doesn't matter. It's just that the morale of the other side is like a rainbow now, and even if we rush over, we can't beat it. Now that Turg is dead, there should be a lot of celebration on the other side, and we should make the trench fortifications stronger, so that the other side will not rush again. After his subordinates took the order and left, Yue Le said to himself, "Turge, it seems that you are much more targeted than the elephant." ”

However, Yue Le and Lyudmila, including Li Huaying, who recommended her to the Shanghai front, and Ao Lei Yilan, who supported her to go to the firing line to kill the enemy, did not expect that Lyudmila's shot would directly break the situation of both sides on the Songhu front and even the entire Jiangnan.

"All battalions and towns reorganized their troops and horses, and ordered all the sailors and fleets on the Zhenjiang River in Nanjing to march eastward and come to Shanghai! Don't you always complain that when our army attacked, the southern barbarians attacked from both sides with the artillery of the naval division and the army battalion?! This time, the general swarmed up with dozens of times hundreds of times more ships, and smashed Li Huamei's sailor gunboat! ”

"The soldiers and horses you are waiting for will be vigorous to take Shanghai County for General Ben! The Great General is hereby offering a bounty! That battalion and that town will attack Shanghai first, and the children of goods in the business area, he can take 10% away! And then according to the military discipline arrangement! ”
