Chapter 103: King Chuang is here to be cannon fodder (ask for collection, ask for recommendation)
When Zhu Cihong's three armies appeared above the northern city of Tianjin, another offensive of the Dashun army was also repulsed. One of the fiercest walls of the battle, full of corpses underneath. Some are not yet dead, still tossing and wailing in muddy water and piles of dead people. Most of them were wounded by the turtledove's foot fire or bird's gun, and their flesh was flying, rolling and howling, and everyone was horrified to see it, and no one knew if they would end up like them.
Above the city, corpses were also piled up on top of each other, and at the height of the battle, the dead were piled up as high as the battlements, and the blood was carried downwards by the rain, and they all turned pale red. The people of the city walked numbly, turning over the corpses, pulling off their clothes and armor, searching for money, and then dragging them down and burying them naked. Occasionally, if you can still catch your breath and have no fatal injuries, you will be carried down for treatment regardless of whether you are friends or enemies. After being rescued, they were also incorporated into the team.
Hundreds of Tang Tong retreated soaking wet. The general who led the team was Tang Tong's own family, Tang Laosi. He had already changed into the costume of a Dashun veteran battalion soldier, a blue cloth robe, an arrow jacket, cotton armor, and a white felt hat on top of his helmet.
This dress was "calculated" by Song Xiance, and he calculated that Dashun and Li Zicheng are more water, and they are water virtues, so the color of the clothes is still blue. Donald Laosi put on the blue coat, which means that he has become his own person in the Dashun Army!
More blue-clad veteran soldiers of the Dashun Army hid behind the stacked fortress walls. They didn't have to attack the city, they just used bows and arrows to force Tang Tong's generals to attack the city. Tang Laosi retreated when they heard the gold, which was completely in line with the military order, but seeing their embarrassed appearance, I don't know who scolded the old battalion soldiers first, and then there was a voice of insult.
These old battalion soldiers have followed Li Zicheng for many years, but they have fought with the Ming army wearing mandarin duck jackets, and now they are the masters of these Ming army troops, can they still be expected to be polite?
Tang Laosi was scolded so much that he didn't dare to raise his head, and his subordinates were all angry, but they didn't dare to attack. In the past, when they were officers and soldiers, although they did not have much money, they could always get a few, and every time they went to war, they were rewarded with another reward, and they had to rob the city when they conquered it. Now that he has invested in Li Zicheng, he has no money, and even food is not as good as before. The most hateful thing is that the Dashun army is strictly disciplined, and you must obey orders when advancing and retreating, otherwise you will be engaged in military law! And you can't just grab it - all such good things belong to the old battalion soldiers, and they, the newcomers, can only be cannon fodder.
On the opposite side of the city wall, there was a tall golden-armored general. The soldiers outside the city all know that he is Wu Sangui (actually Wu Sanfu), and his ironclad soldiers are the most hateful! Whenever the soldiers of the Tang family fought at the head of the city to the point of exhaustion, they rushed out to kill. Among them, the warriors with the knife were the most ruthless, and they all followed Wu Sangui to fight in formation, the knife was heavy, and the wielding was unstoppable, and even the shield iron armor would be smashed! Donald led people to rush a few times, but they were all repulsed!
A general under Tang Tong's command, who was also wearing a soaked blue coat, with a few subordinates wearing mandarin duck battle jackets, escorted a group of people to Tang Laosi's side, and when he saw the fourth man in blue clothes and white hats from a distance, he shouted: "Fourth brother, I have been ordered by the chief town master to bring you hundreds of people, but can you still use it?" ”
Tang Laosi glanced at the people who were captured by the strong men, took a breath of humid air, walked forward in a few steps, and shouted at them: "Let's go!" Replenished into the Dashun army, two meals a day, and conquered Tianjin, with wine and meat! ”
Conquering a big city like Tianjin will give some wine and meat, which is really a new record for slamming the door. If he had given his life to the Zhu thief in the past and recovered such a big city, how could he get a vote. The court's rewards will not be less, and the rich gentry in the city will have to break the bank a little, otherwise the big guys will be let go and robbed!
But now with King Chuang, the military discipline is strict, and he can't see the money in his mother's hand, and he can't take the turn to rob it, it's all the oil and water of the old camp. And it's not allowed not to sell your life, the old battalion soldiers are guarded, whoever doesn't move forward will have to be knifed, do you say there is still any reason for this?
Right in front of the fortress where the old battalion soldiers were fighting, but a row of spears poked into the mud, and each spear had a freshly cut off head hanging from it!
To tell the truth, Tang Laosi can't help but miss the Ming Dynasty. In the past, when I followed Da Ming to eat, I didn't think it was good, but now I have been mixing with Da Shun for less than a month, and I actually began to miss my old master...... Could this be the legendary discovery of conscience?
In fact, it is not only Tang Laosi who misses the Ming Dynasty, but also the strong people who were sent to his subordinates, and they also miss the Ming Dynasty a little.
After all, Tianjin Wei is located in Beizhili, which is not at the foot of the Son of Heaven, but also in front of the door of Heaven. Although it is not as rich as Nanzhili, it is also a good place in the north. With the disappearance of the ban on the sea, Tianjin Wei can also rely on the sea to eat the sea, even if it is an ordinary people's life.
I thought that as soon as King Chuang came, everyone's life would be more prosperous, and there would be at least three years without food.
But who would have thought that not paying food and not collecting food are not the same thing! The serious field endowment and three salaries are not paid, but they can't stand the fact that people want to levy grain, and the countryside around Tianjin Wei is scavenged.
Rich or poor, male or female, young or old, they were all coerced to fill in the trenches to fill in the army - of course, the Dashun Heavenly Soldiers did not do this everywhere, and the reason why they plagued the surroundings of Tianjin Wei was because they wanted to besiege the Tianjin Acropolis.
The Great Shun Dynasty is still engaged in "three years of non-payment", that is to say, it has not established a sustainable fiscal and taxation system. Without financial and tax support, of course, the army would not have any normal logistics, and naturally it would fight and eat wherever it goes.
And it is impossible for Dashun to recruit soldiers, what soldiers are not recruited without money? If you don't recruit soldiers, and you don't coerce them, where will there be millions of people? Relying on a promise of "no grain for three years", the poor middle peasants brought their own grain to participate in the revolution? How can there be such a good thing?
……
People outside the besieged city are thinking about Daming. And within the siege, among the people who still belong to the land of the Ming Dynasty, there are many people who have the intention of welcoming the king!
Zhang Chengzhi and Zhang Juren, who were born in the hereditary family of thousands of households in Tianjin, are now determined to meet the king. It's not that they want to "eat his mother, drink his mother", Tianjin Weizhang's thousands of households have money and food, but their family is the head snake on the side of Tianjin Acropolis, and a quarter of the land of thousands of households is swallowed by their family. And his family not only has land, but also business. There is a whole Zhang Qianhu Street in the Tianjin Acropolis, which is a very prosperous area.
In addition, as early as after the Battle of Jingyan, Zhang Qianhu's family began to follow the path of Yunwen and Yunwu. While guarding the hereditary thousand households, he encouraged his children to study and improve. There have been a lot of people and talents, and they have become a first-class scholarly family in Tianjin.
If Li Zicheng hadn't entered Beijing City and hadn't become the world, he would at least be the co-owner of the Northland. Zhang Juren will never give birth to the mind of returning to obedience, and the most important thing for him is to be admitted to the Jinshi. Where can I go to the Jinshi after returning to the rogue? And there is no female robber like the Red Lady who robbed him to go up the mountain to be the boss of the village - he is not handsome, and it is estimated that the female robber will not look down on him.
And now, Li Zicheng is the lord of Beijing. Chongzhen and Zhu Cihong just ran to Nanjing to occupy half of the country. Can Zhang Juren still abandon his family business and follow? Since he can't follow, he naturally has to regard Li Zicheng as the true son of heaven, and Chongzhen and Zhu Cihong as thieves.
Killing thieves for the Son of Heaven is, of course, the duty of a scholar.
Therefore, in the Zhang family's mansion in the south city of Tianjin, Zhang Juren, the head snake, was busy gathering like-minded Tianjin Weiwen and Wuqiang on March 27, March 28, and March 29, preparing to do a big deal that could make immortal achievements......
