The following is the main text, please read on.
Kong Youde and Kong Youxing brothers discussed the attack on Feng Shuangli's troops in the Southern Ming Kingdom, although Feng Shuangli also accepted the help of the Huaxia Army, but he was always incompatible with the Southern Ming Kingdom, with 100,000 troops alone, occupying the vast territory of the Southern Ming Kingdom, although the Southern Ming Kingdom was also effective, to the Southern Ming Kingdom to resist the invasion of the Yongli Ming Kingdom, Kong Youde, Ma Degong Qing Army's attack, but after all, people are old and fine, and there is always a way to retreat, thinking of several parties to please.
Longwu Nanming controlled his grain, grass and military salary, and felt that he Feng Shuangli was more hardworking, so the two sides were at peace, but Nanming treated him with courtesy, tried to satisfy him, and gave him a lot of territory and independent rights, Feng Shuangli therefore continued to expand the army, and used Nanmingguo's money to strengthen his strength, but he trusted too few veterans, so no matter how much he expanded, it was only in numbers, and the real combat effectiveness was his old battalion troops.
These rebels who followed Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, who had plagued the Ming Dynasty with Dashun and Daxi, always kept what they held in their hands loyal to themselves, who could fight, had combat experience, and could flee for their lives, put them under their own accounts, and acted as their own personal soldiers, and then when they grew their troops, they sprinkled them like pepper noodles below to lead troops to control a large number of troops.
So don't look at the 100,000 army, of which 50,000 Shi Zhen guards the same ruined soldiers like Xiang Yong, 10,000 are soldiers who can fight, 30,000 are newly formed muskets, artillery new army, 10,000 are carefully selected veterans, holding miscellaneous weapons, have combat experience, and are sprinkled like pepper noodles into the soldiers and 30,000 new troops below, 2,000 of the 10,000 most elite veterans are Feng Shuangli's family base, so it seems that the 100,000 army can fight with 50,000 troops, and the real battle is 10,000 troops.
And what Feng Shuangli could control at the last moment was actually 2,000 soldiers and horses.
Therefore, even the brothers Ma Degong and Ma Deli, who were sad, also sneered at Feng Shuangli, they were really weak, the two brothers controlled a total of 30,000 soldiers and horses, and they did not have as much money and food as Feng Shuangli to recruit troops and expand their strength.
30,000 soldiers and horses in the era of cold weapons, in the face of the firearms storm that they have already experienced by the Huaxia Army, they are very unconfident, thinking that they cannot resist the attack of 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Southern Ming Kingdom.
Who doesn't want to have a lot of money, a lot of soldiers, and who doesn't want to be crowned a king and a general?
When the two of them were worried here, Zhang Qiang got a piece of news that Shang Kexi ran away.
Shang Kexi, who was captured in the Battle of Raozhoufu, did not wait for the Qing army to discuss the situation of redeeming him, and took advantage of a labor trip to jump into the Yangtze River waterway with three henchmen and ran away.
Originally, Zhang Qiang asked Zhang Liang to pretend to negotiate with the Qing army, and try to ask the Qing army for the population and anti-Qing fighters, so as to fill the population gap in Fujian Prefecture and Jiangxi Prefecture, which were broken by them and the Qing army, but he didn't expect Shang Kexi to run away.
It was already a week later when Zhang Qiang got the news.
The backward means of transportation and information transmission in this era made Zhang Qiang unbearable.
In order to improve this situation, he vigorously captured prisoners, built roads, built bridges, dug up the silt of rivers, dredged rivers, large shipyards, from civilian fishing boats, to communication clippers, and then to warships and cannons. Unexpectedly, when he finally got the news about this matter, it was a week later.
It couldn't help but make him angry.
Shang Kexi escaped from the Yangtze River waterway when he was sent to Jiujiang Prefecture to build fortifications to defend against the enemy's attack across the river, and to build houses for the people and soldiers who retreated to Jiujiang Prefecture.
Shang Kexi, Geng Jingzhong, Kong Youde, Wu Sangui, these four people acted as the vanguard of the Qing army, attacking the Ming Han people for the Qing army, the crime was unforgivable, Zhang Qiang thought about killing them, just like Hong Chengchou always delayed the negotiations, he directly ordered the execution of Duoduo, who was still alive, and sent his body and Azig's body to the Qing army, in exchange for 10,000 ragged Ming people.
He thought that it would be better to kill them directly than to let them do things in the hard labor camp, and it would be more enjoyable to sweat for the Huaxia Army, which would not only punish them, but also let them atone for the sins and contribute to the Huaxia Army and the Han people.
This is their best, deserved result.
After knowing the news, Zhang Qiang immediately ended his inspection of the territory, and went to Mi Chun's Jiangxi Prefecture Administration in Raozhou Mansion, which was supposed to be in Nanchang Mansion, but Nanchang Mansion was too close to the front line, and other places were also the front line, and Yongli Daming, as well as Mang Gurtai, Jierharang Huguang confronted, and in some places confronted Kong Youde's Qing army, and finally Mi Chun could only put the state capital in Raozhou Mansion.
Raozhou Mansion has been reinforced by Liu Liangzuo, there are trenches dug by Liu Liangzuo around the city in order to resist the siege of the Qing army, and there are various garrisons on the edge of the trenches, it can be said that Raozhou Mansion is impregnable, stationed with a garrison regiment, a militia brigade, a cavalry brigade, and all around are the defense lines arranged by various prefectures to resist the Qing army, and there are militia brigades and field brigades stationed on the defense line.
After inquiring with Liu Liangzuo, Zhang Qiang learned that Shang Kexi had been in business for nearly a year, spending money to buy many guards of the punishment camp, as well as those Ming soldiers who had performed well in the original hard labor camp who had been promoted to the overseers of the punishment camp, and Lin Chengcheng arranged for the prisoner camp to monitor the high-quality supervision team with good performance.
As the enemy became stronger and stronger, many soldiers and militia were transferred to the front line, so the garrisons of the punishment battalions in various places were withdrawn, making the punishment battalions more and more difficult to manage.
He had to organize the young men who had behaved well in the prisoner camp and were about to be released into good citizens and trained them briefly, and turned them into various guard squads, stationed in each hard labor camp, with a small militia outside, a garrison team stationed in this garrison camp nearby, and a field brigade cavalry in the distance.
gave Shang Kexi a chance to escape.
In order to deal with the possibility that the enemy might attack the Huaxia Army from Jiujiang, Mi Chun also dispatched a lot of garrisons to support the front line, and as a result, the guards here were relaxed.
Zhang Qiang knew that this was also his own negligence, but where could he still mobilize troops now?
After thinking about it for a long time, he finally thought of a place, the First Fleet near Dragon Ball Island, where the fleet has not changed for a long time, and where it is close to the station of the Second Fleet, it is completely possible for the Second Fleet to send some ships and troops to defend, and then transfer the Second Fleet to the vicinity of Jinling Mansion.
There is a Sixth Fleet stationed near Jinling Mansion, in Hangzhou Bay, but it is still too far away from Jinling Mansion, find a port to arrange the First Fleet, you can transfer the Marine Corps and the Marine Corps of the Second Fleet, a total of more than 6,000 troops, and then transfer a regiment from the Second Guards Brigade, which is almost the strength of a field brigade.
Can strengthen the guards here. At the same time, the marines of the two fleets were assigned to the management of the punishment battalion, so that the punishment battalion had its own direct subordinate troops, otherwise it would not be a matter for so many hard labor battalions and prisoner battalions to rely only on the militia to guard and the garrison to assist. So be it.
He told Mi Chun and Lin Chengcheng about his thoughts, and the two of them were overjoyed and hurriedly said yes.
Then Zhang Qiang began to criticize Lin Chengcheng, too lazy, can't be proud because of some achievements, have the courage to change, don't be afraid of trouble, the guards should be changed frequently, one team a month, take turns to guard each prisoner camp, the prisoner camp correction personnel to guard the hard labor camp is to save expenses, save troops, but let them be in one place for a long time, easy to be bought, must be replaced regularly, otherwise such things will happen in the future.
criticized Lin Yangsheng, and criticized Mi Chun, although Mi Chun lost weight for Jiangxi Prefecture, but he was also responsible, negligent, and did not carefully ask about everything, otherwise he would have found that there were fewer guards, found a problem, did not report it immediately, and reported it when the matter was irreparable, obviously suspected of covering up his fault.
After criticizing the two people and beating them for a few hours, Zhang Qiang directly told the two people that they would stay in office and check, and Mi Chun's position as Deputy Prime Minister would be directly deprived, and he would just be his governor in the future.
Lin Chengcheng was fined for one year and ordered to make corrections within a time limit, otherwise he would go to the prisoner camp to be a squad leader and guard the prisoners.
After criticizing the two people, Zhang Qiang carefully examined the work of Jiangxi Prefecture, walked around for several days, inspected the civil affairs of the entire Jiangxi Prefecture, and at the same time went around the prisoner camps and hard labor camps in Jiangxi Prefecture.
He even went down with the escort of the personal guards in the cavalry brigade, and went deep into the Yuezhou Mansion on the territory of Huguang without giving up until now.
A militia squad of about a thousand people, and a cavalry of two thousand people, were stationed in the Yuezhou capital.
The entire Yuezhou Mansion has been emptied, except for those people who are really in the mountains and cannot leave their homeland, the entire Yuezhou Mansion has been ten rooms and nine empty, and has become an inaccessible frontline.
Occasionally, you can see the figure of the scout cavalry of the Yongli Ming Dynasty, and you can also see the figure of the scout cavalry of the Qing army.
War clouds have already covered the sky over Yuezhou Capital.
Huguang will not be very quiet, in the near future, almost like the previous Jiangxi Prefecture, the war will continue, and several parties will stage a desperate war here.
Zhang Qiang didn't know that because he wanted to weaken the forces of Hong Chengchou on the other side of the Yangtze River, he sent Zhang Liang to envoy Nanmingguo, which made Nanmingguo now also stormy, panicked, and there was a storm in the future, and the city was full of gloom and panic.
Compared to the quietness here, there is a lot more chaos.
