Chapter 246: Zheng Yimen

Pujiang. Zheng Yimen.

Although Zheng Yimen is called "Gate", it is actually a part of Zheng Zhai Town, Zheng family to filial piety, from the Southern Song Dynasty to the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the fifteenth generation lived and ate together, after 360 years, the people of the time called the Zheng family of Yimen, so it is called "Zheng Yimen". Repeatedly by the imperial court, in the eighteenth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang personally awarded the title of "the first in the south of the Yangtze River".

After the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the Zheng family declined, but it was still Pujiang. The famous family in the county, and the saying of Zheng Yimen has also been handed down, and it can be said that this is a place where soldiers must fight.

But today's situation is a bit mixed, only to see thousands and hundreds of large Qing troops retreating like a tide, they shouted loudly: "The red thief is coming, the red thief is coming, there are a lot of foreign guns and foreign artillery, everyone run, everyone run!" ”

These Qing troops are all Jianwei Army, Fujian Army, Baisheng Yong, Qi Shengyong soldiers, some are Zhejiang natives, some are Chao Yong, and there are some Sichuan Yong in the middle, but now they are embarrassed, some bold and brave to the sky, the timid have thrown down the military flag, equipment, bird guns and everything that can be thrown down to run away.

The scattered gunfire, the tide of people, and the inability to find officers and commanders made these soldiers more and more panicked, and they all said that the red thief's brigade had been killed: "Run, run!" Caught by the red thief, you all have to skin and cramp, you can't survive, you can't die, run! ”

It's just that the leader and the main general of the team ran faster than them, and now they can no longer be found in the team, and they even left their own soldiers behind, and ran back to Pujiang on horseback. The county seat, asked Zhang Yuliang who was stationed there for help.

And behind them were innumerable pieces of equipment, artillery, mules and horses, carts, tents, rations, shotguns, and guns, and they threw away everything they could.

It's just that it's not just the people of Zheng Yimen who are stunned by all this, even the reinforced platoon of the third independent battalion of Jinhua of the Hongjun Army is stunned, Zheng Zhangyu licked his tongue and said: "It's too exaggerated, it's too exaggerated!" It's only been a few shots, and how come a thousand or so people have run away! ”

Zheng Zhangyu is a cadre from the Panshi Battalion, and the formation of the Jinhua Independent Third Battalion made him a deputy company commander, this time I heard that the Qing army was maneuvering to the Pujiang side, and it was possible to attack Yiwu County, which was guarded by the Third Independent Battalion and the Panshi Battalion, so he took the initiative to ask for battle and brought a reinforced platoon over to reconnoitre.

There are about five or six brave battalions of the Qing army that have come over, with a total of more than 1,000 people, the equipment does not seem to be very good, and the morale is average, so Zheng Octopus has no bottom in his heart, and sees that the camp of the Qing army has already passed Zheng Yimen, so he decided to take a few shots and pick up a small bargain and withdraw.

It's just that Zheng Zhangyu didn't expect it, just fired a round of guns into the barracks of the Qing army, wounded and killed two or three brave people, and there was an earth-shattering roar in the six or seven camps of the entire Qing army.

Then, the brigade rushed out of the camp and headed towards the Pujiang River. As soon as they heard the gunshots, they immediately rode their horses and galloped away, and the collapse of the camp was like a snowball, and in just a few minutes, more than 1,000 Qing troops had already galloped all the way.

Only five or six camps and countless booty were left empty, and Zheng Zhangyu still didn't understand: "Just ran away, it's too exaggerated, it's too exaggerated!" ”

He only had a platoon of people in his hands, and his troops were too small, although he took this opportunity to capture more than 20 prisoners, but the Qing army rushed away, and Zheng Zhangyu couldn't catch up at all.

When he was sighing, one of his squad leaders had already reported happily: "Deputy company commander, good things and good things, there are all the booty in the camp, equipment, tents, pots, food, and even silver ......."

Zheng Zhangyu was happy when he heard it: "This group of demons is really a rice bucket, they don't even want money, these are six camps, how many things are there!" ”…,

In fact, after entering the camp, Zheng Zhangyu found that what the squad leader under him said was not vivid at all, the Qing army left everything, the spoils of war were average, and the bird guns, carrying guns, mountain splitting cannons, gunpowder, lead, and even carts and mules and horses, not to mention at least hundreds of grains, all of which were fine grains.

The family background of the Panshi Battalion is not as good as the Dragon Lance Battalion and the Nanxi Battalion, not to mention the independent third battalion separated from the Panshi Battalion, so there is no family background at all, so Zheng Zhangyu's eyes turned red when he saw so much loot: "There is nothing lacking in our camp, since the Qing Demon is so generous, then it must not be polite!" ”

It's just that he only has a reinforced platoon of troops in his hands, a total of more than forty people, plus the captured prisoners, in the face of so many trophies, he can't transport them back at all, so Zheng Zhangyu hesitated for a moment and has already made a decision: "Hurry up and gather the troops, and see what troops we have in the vicinity, preferably our independent three battalions!" ”

Soon found a friendly army, it was an infantry company of the Rock Battalion, and there was another reinforced platoon of the independent third battalion nearby, but although so many reinforcements came, everyone found that there were more and more trophies, and there were even dozens of boxes of large tobacco, with the strength of these two infantry companies, they didn't want to move away at all.

But Zheng Yimen left Pujiang. The straight-line distance of the county seat is less than thirty miles, if Zhang Yuliang marches in a hurry, he can be killed in half a day, Zheng Octopus looked at so many trophies and his eyes were already red: "No matter what three seven twenty-one, so many people's fat and people's ointment must not fall into the hands of Qing Demon, and they are all desperate to move back for me." ”

And at this time Pujiang. In the county seat, Zhang Yuliang happily watched the soldiers of the brigade flock to him, and he said to the officers under him: "So many sheep are coming, everyone is trying to catch the strong ones and go back!" ”

He had 3,000 men under his command, but in the face of the supposedly fierce Red Thief, his subordinates felt that the strength of 3,000 men was still weak, so he felt that he had satisfied the desire of the officers to be promoted.

How can there be soldiers in the world who can't fight, only generals who can't fight, not to mention that among the more than 1,000 brave warriors, Zhang Yuliang has already asked the details, most of them are not from Zhejiang, and there are even his Sichuan compatriots.

Therefore, seeing these Baishengyong, Qishengyong, Jianwei Army and the like rushing back, Zhang Yuliang was in Pujiang. The county town clapped his hands and applauded, he just asked: "If the red thief takes the opportunity to chase after him, then close the city gate, and the red thief must not take the opportunity to come back!" ”

And under the city, Zhang Yuliang's officers had already gone out with one hundred and eighty soldiers to maintain order, not to mention that they were not many in number, but while holding sticks, they moved around, and shouted loudly: "There are no Sichuan people, Sichuan people are here!" ”

"Chao Yong, Chao Yong, they are all when Yong eats food, Chao Yong is here!"

"Hunan people, are there any Hunan villagers? Come to the folks! ”

After a while, Zhang Yuliang's subordinates had already recruited four or five hundred brave men, and Zhang Yuliang in the city said with a smile: "Shi Jingfen, this old horseman, wants to play yin with me, and I don't look at what kind of team he is, a group of rice buckets!" ”

As soon as he said this, the general manager, the general manager of Qian, and the division below all laughed, the speed of the collapse of these brave battalions was too fast, even with Zhang Yuliang's most tragic estimate, he always thought that they could hold out for half a day.

Unexpectedly, they rushed from Jinhua to Zhengyimen, and in a short distance, they only walked a hundred miles for seven days, and then they all stepped back in a moment or two.

Rice buckets, the brave battalions in Zhejiang Province are all rice buckets, and we can only rely on our Zhang Yuliang's team to fight.

And the leaders of the Yong battalion who took the lead in running back on horseback wanted to seize back a little bit of their strength, but Zhang Yuliang was very arrogant, and as soon as he raised his hand, the soldiers below had already waved their horsewhips and began to drive people away.

It's just that at this time, Chuan Yong, who had a new job, saw that Zhang Yuliang was a fellow villager in Sichuan, and immediately handed over a letter of submission, and Zhang Yuliang was also taken aback: "What, Zheng Yimen lost all your pants over there, and there is everything left!" ”…,

"Yes, yes!" The Sichuan villager who reported the news reported the truth: "The red thief came too quickly, and everything was lost!" We still have a few thousand taels of pay in our camp, and we have lost them! ”

"It's not just two salaries, we have dozens of boxes of big tobacco in Baishengyong!"

As for the ordinary equipment, weapons, tents, etc., it is even more sea-loaded, and it is impossible to count it, and a few Sichuan villagers said: "Even if you sell it, you can sell it for tens of thousands of taels of silver!" ”

Zhang Yuliang was speechless, even Ming Antai, the most corrupt camp in the south of the Yangtze River, was dozens of times better than this brave camp that collapsed in the wind, it was really improper to choose the road in Zhejiang Province, otherwise how could he drag back some silver and opium.

It's just that soon the rangers in front of him came with the exact news: "Shenrong, the red thieves don't come much, but only one or two hundred......

**！ Zhang Yuliang couldn't help scolding his mother, only one or two hundred people drove thousands of people all over the mountain, if the Red Thief Brigade really came, these routs might as well cross the Pujiang River.

It's just that people die for money, and birds die for food.

As soon as he heard that the baggage materials discarded by these brave battalions were calculated at the actual price, as much as tens of thousands of taels of silver, and possibly even more than 100,000 taels of silver, Zhang Yuliang was moved.

I can't help but be impressed! He shouted loudly and shouted: "Brothers, let's work hard, I don't treat my brothers badly, fight hard, and go to Zhengyimen to make a fortune!" ”

It's just that although Zhang Yuliang is hot-hearted, he is a strategist, and he immediately ordered the production: "The general manager, the thousand general manager, and the foreign commissioner who just rose up today will lead the team to the front!" ”

The newly promoted generals, thousands of generals, and foreign commissioners are naturally those veterans and small leaders who have just been incorporated into the defeated bravery, and since they have been promoted, they should fight hard, and these newly promoted generals, thousands, and foreign commissioners are also very happy, and immediately sent the shotguns, guns, and mountain splitting cannons to the fellows they just met, and shouted: "Brothers, follow me back to Zhengyimen to make a fortune!" ”

ps: The defeat of the Qing army Zheng Yimen in history was actually a miracle of war created by Rao Tingxuan's classmates, but in this plane, he has been driven back
