Chapter 556: Kuizhou City

Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong and other old thieves fell into the hands of the "Red Banner Army" with 20,000 or 30,000 regular soldiers, auxiliary soldiers, and miscellaneous soldiers, and they couldn't do tricks at all.

Not only because Huang Han is a prophet, but also because the combat effectiveness of the "Red Banner Army" is not something that can be confronted by the rogues, and these rogues have also been partially disarmed and have no hot weapons.

Huang Han knew who was the worst among the rogues, and he would definitely kill Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Ma Shouying and other thieves as soon as possible, leaving Liu Guoneng, Hui Dengxiang and others to serve the Ming Dynasty.

Huang Han is ready to kill all the old bandits and big leaders who have been screened, and he will not hesitate to kill 20,000 or 30,000 at a time.

It's a pity that this good wish was ordered by the emperor to enter Sichuan to stir up the yellow, which made Huang Han secretly sigh that there seemed to be providence in the dark, and it may be that Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong should not die.

Huang Han did not bargain with the emperor and chose to obey the dispatch.

At the end of February, the "Red Flag Army" left Jingzhou to divide the water and enter Sichuan by land, and all the female soldiers of Zhang Fengyi and Qin Yanyi, as well as Qin Yin and Qin Yue, who had just arrived, went straight to the Shizhu Linjiang Wharf by boat.

Xu Miaoyan and Xu Miaoru and one or two hundred female nurses also took the waterway, and those who marched over the mountains and mountains by land were all gentlemen.

Huang Han left Zhao Kun to lead his thousand generals and the corresponding guard army, as well as a general engineer and a general artillery garrison to the unfinished "Wangchuan Fort".

There are more than 2,000 people here, more than 5,000 households who have already allocated 20 acres of paddy fields, and 6,000 households who are building flour mills and cloth factories and water conservancy facilities that will become displaced people who will become industrial workers.

The thoughtful Zhao Kun has such strength, and the "Wangchuan Fort" has the Yangtze River natural danger to rely on, and the Liukou is not capable of attacking.

The "Red Banner Army" has already made a prestige, and the notoriety of the "Red Devils" has overshadowed the big and small Cao and Hong shaved their heads, and there was hardly a large-scale battle encountered on the way into Sichuan, and the rogues chose to avoid it from afar.

Due to the rugged mountain road, Huang Han only opened up the point line of his own march, cavalry, military dog soldiers, and mountain infantry searched the march route within a radius of 30 miles, and even then attacked and killed more than 2,000 rogues and intercepted tens of thousands of exiles.

Ma Xiang and this Zhongxian general have made a name for themselves in previous mountain chase battles.

Because he is a local, most of the 1,800 new white pole soldiers under his command are mountain people, and they walk on mountain roads as if they were walking on flat ground.

This Biaomen and horses are now well fed, warmly dressed, well paid, and have a high will to fight, and when they launched the attack, they were covered by the "Red Banner Army" Minnie gunners and self-generated gunners, and basically achieved invincible battles.

Fengjie County, Kuizhou Prefecture, Kuizhou City is located in the upper reaches of Jingchu, Qutang Gorge Estuary, and the situation of Bashu East Gate is dangerous, and it has always been an important military town in eastern Sichuan, and a place where soldiers must fight.

However, no matter how dangerous the terrain and how strong the city is, there must be responsible people to garrison it, and in early February, Zhou Shideng, the deputy envoy of Sichuan Province who was sitting in Kuizhou, played a slippery head.

He learned that the thieves had a large number of 120,000 soldiers, so he immediately found an excuse to go to Fuzhou to check the military equipment, which was equivalent to running away.

Wang Shangyi, the general judge in Kuizhou City, Liu Yinghou, the magistrate, and Tan Chuliang, the magistrate of Fengjie County, saw that the biggest official was cleverly setting up a name and slipping away, and he was willing to stay in this dangerous place, so they simply dispersed in a hurry.

However, not all civil officials are soft bones, Kuizhou Tongzhi He Chengguang is not afraid to take the initiative to organize the military and civilians to strengthen the defense, but it is a pity that this scholar is not as decisive as Xu Mingyang, and finally Kuizhou City was attacked by the rogue in the combination of inside and outside.

He Chengguang is also full of loyalty, none of the seventeen members of the family surrendered to thieves, all of them were killed by the rogue, and He Chengguang's body was also thrown into the rolling waves of the Yangtze River after being abused.

When Huang Han led his men and horses to Kuizhou City, it had been sacked by the rogue who had received the news and gave up on his own initiative, and there was no brutal siege battle.

did not suffer the loss of men and horses, and the "Red Banner Army" recaptured the largest city in eastern Sichuan, and the great achievement of recovering the land was not far from the rescue of the feudal domain!

Many of the rogues who fled into the mountains were unable to escape, and one or two thousand were intercepted and killed, most of the grain and baggage were captured, and two or three thousand women who were left behind were also captured.

The city of Kuizhou, which had been plagued by the bandits, was full of ruins and charred corpses, and it took three days for the tens of thousands of displaced people rescued by the "Red Flag Army" to clean up.

Knowing that the most capable "Red Banner Army" had recaptured Kuizhou City, Zhou Shideng, the deputy envoy of Sichuan Province, Wang Shangyi, the general judge, Liu Yinghou, the magistrate, and Tan Chuliang, the county magistrate of Fengjie, all arrived one after another.

These people didn't know that abandoning the city and fleeing was a crime of killing their heads, and they came to kneel and beg the Marquis of Dongping for help.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were countless civil and military generals who did not take responsibility, and Huang Han did not have the consciousness to rectify the rule of officials for Chongzhen, what he wanted was interests.

The last scholar who escaped knelt down and reached an agreement with Dongping Hou, and they were extorted by Huang Han with a total of nearly 100,000 taels of snowflake silver and more than 20,000 acres of paddy fields.

Then Zhou Shideng and Yigan Soft Bones became the iron-clad ministers who stuck to the city with the martyr He Chengguang.

The report to the imperial court from the scholars led by Zhou Shideng became that they held on to Kuizhou City for more than ten days, and when the city was broken, they still held on to Linjiang Wengcheng, and finally waited for reinforcements from Dongping Hou.

It's a pity that Tongzhi He Chengguang was martyred gloriously, and all the people were slaughtered by the frenzied rogues, and more than 30,000 soldiers and civilians in Kuizhou City were killed.

Five days after Huang Han captured Kuizhou City, he was ready to lead his men and horses to continue along the river to the west, go to the stone pillar to meet the white pole soldiers, and at the same time look at his mother-in-law, and then make a public welfare plan to suppress Kou.

Seeing that Dongping Hou was leaving, Zhou Shideng and other scholars were frightened, the "Red Banner Army" was gone, and the thieves who fled into the mountains came again, and the defense of Kuizhou City was now more fragile, wouldn't it be that it would be swept down by the rogues again?

These officials and lords once again knelt down and begged the Marquis of Dongping to be gracious, and no matter what, they would leave a group of men and horses to garrison Kuizhou City.

Nine times out of ten, the Liukou attacked the prefecture capital county in order to loot, this place has just been looted, it stands to reason that the Liukou should not attack again in a short time, Huang Han decided to leave a general infantry and a general guard army led by Gu Zhun directly after thinking about it.

The "Red Banner Army" will leave Sichuan sooner or later, and it is impossible for Huguang and Henan to stay for a long time.

Huang Han was blunt and told Zhou Shideng his thoughts to several magistrates who had been caught.

Zhou Shideng's inability to fight does not mean that he will not be an official, the reason why he was able to mix with the fourth-grade civil official is the result of being able to drill the camp.

He expressed his position on the spot and recommended Gu Zhun to serve as the garrison of Kuizhou Mansion and garrison the state city, Zhou Shideng was very smart, and he had the ability to ensure that Gu Zhun, who already had the title of Void from the Fourth Rank, became a guerrilla or even a general, but he did not do so.

Because often when the imperial court deploys troops, the guerrillas and the generals are in the first order, and the main task of the garrison is to defend the place, and the possibility of being mobilized is much smaller.
