Chapter 125: Qian Sule

Everything has to be a combination of work and rest. Coming out of Nanjing, although there was no major battle along the way, it also marched nearly a thousand miles away, not to mention that after fighting Jinhua City, this battle was another rush, and the whole army abandoned the baggage and seriously consumed physical strength.

Plus the matter of Xu Du has to be dealt with.

Naturally, it will be repaired in Jinhua for a period of time.

Of course, there is another reason, Zhang Xuan and Luo Yulong have a sense of disconnection.

Zhang Xuan handed over almost all the places he attacked to Luo Yulong to send people to manage. But Luo Yulong also felt anxious at the moment.

In response to Zhang Xuan's words, this place in the south of the Yangtze River is easy to settle and difficult to settle.

Because it is not the government that really controls the human, material and financial resources of Jiangnan, but the gentry of Jiangnan. It can be said that when the rebels marched, the government had no heart to resist, nor did it have the strength to resist, relying on what resistance, relying on those Jiangnan guards who proved that even dozens of Japanese soldiers could not stop them decades ago, or hundreds of officials in the hands of each county prefect, and more than 1,000 strong men.

With these people it is simply impossible.

Just as the situation was when Zhang Xuan broke Jinhua, the regular army in Zuo Guangxian's hands soon failed, and it was the families of the gentry who really became the core of resistance.

Luo Yulong faced this problem.

Let's go down to the next place to be stationed.

Some small places can not be garrisoned, but this is a big city with heaven and Suzhou and Hangzhou, Suzhou and Hangzhou, compared to Nanjing City, Luo Yulong has to garrison heavy troops, such a big city, only 10,000 soldiers are not enough, plus other counties, Luo Yulong's tens of thousands of troops in his hands seem to be more, but in fact, sprinkled in so many places in the south of the Yangtze River, there are not many mobile troops in Luo Yulong's hands.

had to rectify the Jiangnan army for its own use.

And at this time, another kind of war started in Jiangnan.

Without him, the government in the Ming Dynasty could not control the countryside at all, and the countryside was controlled by the gentry, so the city was formed in the hands of Luo Yulong, but the gentry from all sides in the countryside were connected in tandem and prepared to start an incident, especially headed by the Xia family of Songjiang Mansion, Chongming Shen Tingyang, and headed by the coastal area of Songjiang. plus the Hou family in Jiading, and so on.

There were not many soldiers in each family, but there were thousands at most and hundreds at least. But the uprising on all sides is like a cow's hair.

In addition, Luo Yulong divided his troops to defend the town, and Qian Qianyi did not contribute to the work, for a while, Luo Yulong lost the ability to continue the attack, but instead assigned his generals to strangle the gentry and soldiers from all walks of life with a team of thousands of people.

These soldiers were just ordinary people before, and their combat strength was naturally not good, and there was no reason why they couldn't be defeated when they were sent out in a team of thousands of people, but it would take a while. I couldn't take care of Zhang Xuan for a while, even the officials of Yanzhou Mansion

Let Zhang Xuan take care of it himself.

He didn't say anything about it.

When the entire rebel army was in repair, in Ningbo Mansion, a storm was coming.

Among the Confucian Temples.

The people with heads and faces in Ningbo Mansion are here.

All with serious faces, whispering from ear to ear. The matter they were discussing was nothing else, but war or surrender.

Luo Yulong was stationed in Hangzhou, and the officials of Shaoxing Mansion surrendered one after another, and the righteous army only incorporated thousands of surrendered troops, and they were about to arrive in Ningbo Mansion as the vanguard. Zhao Zhikui, the prefect of Ningbo, met here with these gentry to discuss the current affairs.

Zhao Zhikui said: "Folks, things are so helpless, fortunately, King Wu is merciful, after surrendering, there will naturally be no damage, and the new dynasty is the time to employ people, as long as there is talent, King Wu is naturally not stingy to promote, and look at Zhang Zhen is only a third class jinshi, and now he is responsible for the long history of King Wu, who I am not three points better than him." The future is naturally worry-free. ”

It's no wonder that Zhao Zhikui is like this, the entire sixteenth year of Chongzhen, which is also the first year of Dashun Yongchang, the explosive expansion of the entire righteous army. Although Luo Rucai, Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng have their own thoughts, no matter what, they are all under the banner of Dashun.

Just look at the territory of Dashun, since Li Zicheng defeated Sun Chuanting, sent troops to sweep the northwest, and now except for some remote places in the west that have not been defeated, almost all of them are in the hands of the camp, plus most of Henan, half of the small Huguang, and Cao Ying, occupying half of the two Huai, now also into the south of the Yangtze River, Suzhou and Hangzhou, also fell into the hands of Cao Ying. In addition, Zhang Xianzhong is now in Changsha, occupying the southern part of Huguang and even some prefectures and counties in Jiangxi.

Just looking at the map, the Ming court was divided by the righteous army in the north and south, and the waist was cut off.

The situation is like this, and naturally too many people are shaken by the Ming court.

It's just that, no matter what, these squires have fame, either they are raised or jinshi, and they can be regarded as growing up reading sage books since childhood, so they are also very worried in their hearts, but they are not easy to echo Zhao Zhikui.

Many people are silent majority, not wanting to stand up against the rebels, nor do they want to come out and welcome the rebels. Just want to protect the family business in the troubled times.

What Zhao Zhikui said was nothing more than silence.

Zhao Zhikui was a little embarrassed, came to an old man, and said, "Gong Qian, you are highly respected, please say something." ”

This Qian Gong is Chongzhen's ten-year jinshi Qian Sule, who served as the governor of Taicang, a member of the criminal department, and was at home because of his mother's worries at the front time, his official reputation is very good, and when he served as the governor of Taicang, he was the first in Jiangnan governance, and he was also very prestigious in his hometown.

There is also some friendship between Zhao Zhikui and Qian Sule, and at this time, he naturally hopes that Qian Sule will support him.

Qian Sule sneered, and a famous thorn escaped from his sleeve, and Zhao Zhikui naturally recognized it as his famous thorn. In front of Zhao Zhikui and the Ningbo gentry, Qian Sule tore this famous thorn to pieces and threw it on the ground.

Zhao Zhikui was suddenly furious and said, "You---。 ”

In ancient times, the significance of the famous thorn is far more than the modern business card, the ancient officials themselves are not famous, and they can directly let people use their name thorns to visit whom, they can do things, almost their own representatives and symbols. And in front of so many people, tearing up the other party's name is naturally a humiliation.

How to let Zhao Zhikui not be angry.

"So far, the monks of the national dynasty have raised you as a shameless person." There was a loud shout outside, and the closed door was kicked open, and dozens of young scholars walked in, all of whom were students of the official academy, and they had this show of talent and fame on their bodies. They are naturally not as stable as the heads of the gentry.

A few people walked in, and one of them was the first, regardless of it, and stepped forward and punched Zhao Zhikui in the face.

Zhao Zhikui was stunned for a moment, how could he ever meet such treatment, staggered a few steps and said, "You, you, you." ”

This scholar's name is Huaxia, and he said: "How can such a thief be a parent official? Huaxia kicked Zhao Zhikui again, Zhao Zhikui fell to the ground heavily, and immediately shouted: "Come on, come on." ”

But no one dared to move.

It has been a tradition for Jiangnan scholars to discuss politics, and these officials are all natives of their hometowns, so they naturally dare not offend these little gentlemen.

Huaxia came to Qian Sule, saluted and said: "Now that the dragons in Ningbo have no leader, please ask Gong Qian to preside over the overall situation." ”

"Please also ask Gong Qian to preside over the overall situation." A line of scholars responded one after another.

Qian Sule's gaze swept over everyone and said, "Okay, the old man should do it." ”

After Qian Sule agreed, the officials at all levels in Ningbo City expressed their allegiance to Qian Sule.

Wang Zhiren also led troops to vote, Qian Sule reorganized the soldiers and horses, got 20,000 soldiers, no military salary, lack of officers, Qian Sule sold his property, put all the children of the Qian family into the army, and then went out of the Ningbo army to the west, breaking Cao Ying's men and horses in Shaoxing.

It was not Luo Yulong's main force that served as his defeat, but only a few thousand troops.

Many soldiers will not improve their combat effectiveness just because they change a flag on their heads. Coupled with the matter of surrender, Shaoxing Mansion originally had objections, plus Yuyao Sun Jiaji and others, they raised troops to respond, plus Wang Zhiren's army, there is still some combat effectiveness, only then did this big victory.

Although it was only a small defeat, it was enough to shake Jiangnan.

Without him, this was Cao Ying's first defeat after entering Jiangnan. After hearing this, the gentry from all over the south of the Yangtze River formed soldiers one after another, and even in the area of Suzhou and Hangzhou captured by Luo Yulong, the situation was a little unstable.
