Chapter Twenty-Six: The Rebellion of Child's Play
Chapter Twenty-Six: A Child's Play Rebellion
Zhang Xuan is not one of them.
The source of Jiangnan soldiers, especially the Jiangnan guards, has long been known to the world.
Even a famous general like Qi Jiguang has no way to take them. And most of the soldiers recruited by Zhang Xuan this time were avant-garde soldiers.
The reason why Zhang Xuan insisted on large-scale recruitment in Jiangnan.
Many of them are also for political reasons.
If Linshanwei is now, no, Linshan County not long after, after the purge, Zhang Xuan decided to abolish the county of Wei.
There are so many people who have voted for the rebels, and in the political map in Zhang Xuan's heart, Linshan County is painted with a reliable color.
If hundreds of thousands of soldiers can be recruited in Jiangnan, even if these hundreds of thousands are only auxiliary soldiers, there are hundreds of thousands of people who rely on Cao Ying to eat, and behind hundreds of thousands of soldiers, there is a family that relies on soldiers to eat, which means that millions of people will rely on Cao Ying. With these people here, the possibility of recurrence in Jiangnan has decreased a lot.
As for the question of combat effectiveness.
Zhang Xuan has always believed that the folk customs in various places may affect the quality of the soldiers, but what really determines the combat effectiveness is the training, perhaps because of the quality of the soldiers, they cannot become the elite of the world, but it is still possible to become a qualified army.
That's enough.
For a country, the elite who are really used to fight a decisive battle is indispensable, but the ordinary troops stationed in various places are also indispensable.
However, when Zhang Xuan felt that the situation in Linshanwei had not changed, a news reached Zhang Xuan's ears.
"You said that Guanhaiwei rebelled, and almost all of the coastal guards rebelled?" Zhang Xuan could hardly believe the news.
Zhang Xuan has not seen the army of the guard, but if the guard has some combat effectiveness, Zhang Xuan will not come up with the idea of completely abolishing the guard.
Men will dishonor themselves, and then they will be dishonored.
It's not that Zhang Xuan wants to do things absolutely, but Zhang Xuan looks left and right, and the Jiangnan gentry can't move for a while, but these guards officers, what can't they move.
But I never thought that they would actually rise up and rebel, Zhang Xuan really wanted to ask, who gave you the courage, Liang Jingru?
Zhang Xuan pondered for a while and said, "Qin Meng, He Hutou." ”
"The end will be." The two said in unison.
Zhang Xuan said: "You lead the people of the headquarters, along the coastline, give me a look, each guard, those who plot against me, kill." ”
"Yes." The two said.
Zhang Xuan immediately gave an order to Yang Shenzu, asking his cavalry to mobilize and divide his troops to attack the rebellious guards.
Zhang Xuan went back to Ningbo.
As Zhang Xuan expected, this was almost a farce.
Guanhaiwei made the biggest noise, but was rushed by Qin Meng's more than 1,000 cavalry, and the entire guard gathered a command, and there were more than 5,000 people, so they cried
Dad called my mother to go.
The situation of Guanhaiwei is similar to that of other guards, and more than 1,000 soldiers rushed and lost a big defeat. There are also a few guards who want to defend the city.
However, the people below may not want to work for these guards officers, and the guards have been in disrepair for hundreds of years, and they are easy to practice, and they hardly know how to defend the city.
Even if it has the advantage of the city, it can't stop Cao Ying's attack.
However, it is indeed a farce for the Weisu army alone, but with the Zhoushan army behind, although it is still a farce, the scale of this farce is larger.
The degree of waste firewood in the guard house also exceeded Zheng Zhilong's expectations.
These guards saw the fate of the commander of the Linshan Guard, and they simply shuddered, if they just killed one person, they would forget it. But they don't want to take away the land that their family has inherited for hundreds of years.
This is to dig up their foundations, and it is absolutely unacceptable.
In their minds, this is the land they have inherited for generations, so why should you take it away. Naturally, they will raise an army to fight against the rogues.
They are not all fools, so they naturally have to cooperate with the people in Zhoushan.
It's just that they can't even get the most basic secrecy, Cao Ying's roots in Ningbo are not deep, and many rural areas have remained the same, and Cao Ying's power is not at all.
It was not very difficult to hide from Cao Ying's ears and eyes, but after he made the decision to rebel, the news spread throughout Ningbo and naturally reached Zhang Xuan's ears.
Therefore, when Zhang Xuan sent troops to encircle and suppress, Zheng Zhilong's army had not yet been sent to support.
Because the appointed time has not yet arrived.
When Zheng Zhilong saw that these guards were so ineffective, he also accelerated his action, this time Zheng Zhilong avoided the place where Cao Ying's heavy troops were guarded, and instead put the place of attack on Chang Guowei.
Chang Guowei is on a peninsula, not far from Elephant Mountain.
Because the nearby waters are complex, it is easy for the officers and soldiers to defend and difficult to attack. For the rebels, attacking this place needs to worry about the rebels suddenly inserting themselves into the rear.
Zhang Xuan called Cao Zongyu over and asked him to lead the men and horses of his headquarters, together with the Taizhou garrison, to encircle and suppress Chang Guowei. Let him familiarize himself with the things of coastal warfare.
Cao Zongyu understood.
I'm afraid that in the first battle of attacking Fujian, Zhang Xuan will not go.
Zhang Xuan immediately called Zhang Su over and said, "The action of abolishing the guard house can't be slower. The sooner the better. ”
Such a situation is a bit tricky for Zhang Xuan.
According to Zhang Xuan's original intention, he didn't want to make the matter come to this point, and the last guard would deal with it. It's like Linshanwei. But the chain reaction under the sorrow of the rabbit and the fox. Forced Zhang Xuan to this point.
In the current situation, Zhang Xuan will either calm the hearts of the people and stop the pace of changing the guard to the county, and the other guards will maintain the status quo.
Or just don't do it or don't
Hugh, just do a big job.
Zhang Xuan didn't have to think about it at all.
In the position of the Ming Dynasty in the later period, the guard simply stood in the pit and did not.
Some people around Chongzhen have discussed, to the effect that if the troops are insufficient, they must train the new army, and if they train the new army, they must increase their salaries, and if they do not have enough money, they will increase taxes, and the taxes will be heavy - civil disorder, civil chaos and many thieves, and many thieves and insufficient soldiers. So much for. Since it is said that there are not enough troops to fight, when the number of troops is checked, the old army is reorganized, or the army is abolished, or reorganized, how can everything be entrusted to the new army and the new salary?
The guard engulfed I don't know how many resources the imperial court had, and in the face of the lack of finances during the Chongzhen period, these financial black holes had to bear a lot of responsibility.
Zhang Xuancai refused to compromise.
He wanted to be safe, he just wanted the land that the officers of the guard had usurped, not their lives, and if he was slow to deal with it, he would probably be able to do that.
But now that there is chaos in various places, there are not many officials in Cao Ying who deal with civil affairs, and their abilities are also uneven. Zhang Xuan can be sure that if he releases them all in this way, the result will be that there will be a big purge in the guards everywhere.
doesn't ask about right and wrong, doesn't ask about right or wrong, but all the guards of the former Ming Dynasty can't escape this catastrophe.
Many things are in a hurry, and conniving Zhang Xuan knows that what he wants to release at this moment is a flood beast, and he can only release it.
What is good is that a family crying is like crying all the way, saying something that is not good, changing the dynasty, this is how it is.
Do you really think that there will be no dead people in the new dynasty? These dead people are not just on the battlefield.
Zhang Xuan felt that this matter might not be kept secret, and what happened in Ningbo was estimated to spread soon. simply revised what he had written, "Abolish the Guard's County Conscription and Grant Fields" and sent it to Nanjing.
He wrote a letter to Zhang Zhen in private, asking him to help implement this matter.
Zhang Xuan's strategy, after arriving in Nanjing, was like a stone smashed into the water, which immediately caused an uproar. It has aroused the attention of many people.
And in this matter, Luo Yulong supervised the army in Jiangbei, and Shangshu, who was supposed to inspect various places, returned to Beijing. This incident directly stabbed Luo Rucai's side.
Countless people expressed their opinions in front of Luo Rucai because of their different interests. -for-tat. set off the first political dispute in the Wu Dynasty, Zhang Xuan never thought that this incident would have a far-reaching impact.
The confrontation between Zhang Xuan and Donglin in recent decades, and hundreds of years later, the protection of private property and the marginal issue of imperial power are all based on this matter.
In the history of later events, this incident in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen has a great influence, and it also surpasses the martyrdom of Chongzhen, and it is the same as the entire Great Xia Dynasty.
These are not what Zhang Xuan can think of now.
