Chapter 69: The Great Ming Chaos

"The last general, Du Ge, meet your lordship." Du Ge was a little excited as soon as he came in, and fell to the ground.

Zhang Qiang took a few steps forward and helped Du Ge up, "Du Ge, how are you doing lately?" ”

Zhang Qiang asked.

Du Ge was a little excited, and when Zhang Qiang asked, he immediately blushed, and tears came out, "My lord, I regret not listening to your teachings, I went away from home, and followed Master You to Fuzhou, but he was harassed by the chaotic army halfway, and almost half of the people were scattered, and he went to Fuzhou for only half a month, the Qing army suddenly came, and the Zheng army fled without a fight, some of the righteous army fought hard with the Qing army, and even our team was attacked by the Qing army, Master You's family was scattered, Master You didn't know what to do, his subordinates led dozens of families to hide from the Qing army, and more than two months passed. When his subordinates returned to Wuyi County, they heard the news of the great victory over the Qing army, and immediately went to meet Lord Zhou Congee. ”

Zhang Qiang wiped away his tears, helped him sit down, and asked, "Du Ge, what are your plans in the future?" ”

Du Ge got up again and knelt down in front of Zhang Qiang, "The villain is willing to follow the adult for the rest of his life and serve the adult." ”

Zhang Qiang smiled: "I wronged you like that,"

Du Ge followed: "My lord, the villain has made up his mind. ”

Zhang Qiang said: "How can your talent only be a follower, the captain of the guard, like this," he stood up, took the map of Jinhua Mansion left by Zhu Dadian, and said to Du Ge: "At present, our army has occupied all the counties of Jinhua Mansion, the only county town that has not been recovered, I have sent people to attack, I believe that with his talent, there will be no more words, it is just a matter of time,"

He moved his finger on the map: "In the northwest, there is Wei Wuji to guard, he seized Longyou County, blocking the enemy's road from Quzhou, the west is the big mountain, the Xianxia Pass line, the enemy can only come over the mountain, I have sent reconnaissance cavalry to patrol, as soon as there is an enemy situation, it is a metaphor for the Quartet, Wucheng, my personal captain Hu Kui led eight hundred cavalry to garrison, blocking the front of Jinhua County, connecting Lord Wei Wuji." ”

Du Ge's gaze moved along Zhang Qiang's fingers and nodded.

"In the northeast, there is Lin Yang's troops stationed in Lanxi County, and in the east is the Wujiang River and the mountains, and the enemy can't pass, and in the east, Mi Chun is stationed in Pujiang County and Mi Lin is stationed in Dongyang County to defend the Qing army in the east. Xuanyuan Longfei is located in Yiwu County, which responds to the two and connects Jinhua City. ”

"From here to Yongkang County in the south, there are mountains and rivers to block it, but we can see that there are still many roads that can be passed, and they can be killed directly to Jinhuafu City, which has a complex terrain and has to be guarded against.

I am going to send you to Nanma Town between Yongkang County and Dongyang County to garrison, where you connect Dongyang and Yongkang counties, and at the same time block the middle of the mountain passage from here to Huashui Town, to prevent the enemy from climbing the mountains from here to attack Jinhua Mansion City, and at the same time cover the back of Dongyang County, and respond to Yongkang County.

If the enemy army comes to crusade, you can send troops to intercept while notifying Dongyang County and Yongkang County, if the enemy is too strong, you can retreat to Yongkang to hold on, or directly retreat to Jinhua Mansion Chenglai. ”

After speaking, Zhang Qiang looked at Du Ge, and Du Ge bowed and saluted, "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely stick there, and I will definitely not let the enemy have the possibility of sneaking up on Jinhua Mansion City, and protect the safety of Dongyang and Yongkang County." ”

"Well, you go and take my warrant, go to Wei Wuji to draw 200 soldiers, draw 100 cavalry from Hu Kui, draw 100 infantry from my headquarters, 100 firecrackers, and then ask Zhou Congee to draw 200 sword players, and select 2,300 prisoners from among the prisoners, and lead 3,000 soldiers to garrison here, carefully guarding against the enemy's sneak attack."

Du Ge bowed, "The last general understands." ”

After arranging Du Ge, Zhang Qiang next threw all the chores to Zhu Dayou, the housekeeper of the Zhu Mansion, and led the troops to train by himself.

There were nearly 400 senior firecrackers in his own army, and then a hundred troops of various classes were drawn from other people's teams, a total of 500 people, who reached the upper limit of their sixth-level domination skills and began training.

Three weeks have passed, and finally the first batch of elite rebels have been released.

After putting them into their respective teams, Zhang Qiang dispatched 300 skilled musketeers, 100 spearmen, and 100 archers to start training.

A week passed, and these people made rapid progress, almost reaching the heights of senior soldiers.

Within a week, 300 wounded rebels had recovered from their injuries and made a request to join Zhang Qiang's team, and Zhang Qiang added them to his own ranks, so that his direct army had recovered to 2,000 men, and at the same time exceeded more than 100 people.

In addition, Zhang Qiang transferred 200 captured war horses to those firecrackers who could ride horses, and formed his own team of chasers.

For more than a month, the Qing army did not come to attack, Zhang Qiang did not go to them, Nanming almost did not know the existence of his own team, they were inseparable from the Qing army, Nanming's territory was lost step by step, and the Dashun army was still moving around, but it was suppressed by the Qing army, and it retreated more and more to Nanming's territory.

The Southern Ming did not accept them, and there was a battle between the two sides, and finally He Tengjiao of Hunan made an agreement with them to attack Jingzhou, and the Dashun army attacked the Qing army on both sides under He Tengjiao's Nanming army and the army sent by the governor of Jiangxi.

A news spread that the killed Li Zicheng appeared in Hunan, and I don't know if it was true or false.

On the contrary, some remnants of the Dashun army took advantage of the situation to contact and respond, attacking the territory occupied by the Qing army, which made the Qing army busy running around and extinguishing fires everywhere.

The CD Plain in Sichuan is still the site of the remnants of Daxi's activities, and it is frequently rumored that Zhang Xianzhong is not dead, but is still hiding in the mountains, and some generals of Daxi are also haunting Sichuan to attack the Qing army.

The rebel armies burned like sparks in the Ming Dynasty, fighting with the Qing army, and the rule of the Qing army was shaky for a while, but fortunately, the north was still stable, and some Ming army officials who surrendered tried to help the Qing Dynasty stabilize the place and restore the people's livelihood.

At this time, there was a shocking news that Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Qing army, but was asked by the Qing soldiers to go to Yanjing to meet the Shunzhi Emperor, Zheng Zhilong was forced to go, and was finally detained, his son Zheng Chenggong, Zheng Sen, took advantage of the situation to revolt, seized military power, and continued to operate Zheng's territory, Kinmen, Zhoushan, Xiamen, Quanzhou, and the Qing army went to war, but there were more defeats and fewer victories, I heard that Zheng Chenggong had wanted to turn his main energy to the sea, planning to attack the Dutch on the treasure island, ready to use this as a base, continue to resist the Qing army.

Relations between Zheng and the Dutch took a turn for the worse, and some Zheng generals betrayed Zheng Chenggong and surrendered to the Qing army, but most of them set up their own hills, some of them attached themselves to the Portuguese who were in the trench gate, and some of them defected directly to the Dutch.

The situation in Daming has become confusing.

Li Chengdong continued to plot to attack the Southern Ming court of Emperor Longwu in Tingzhou.

At this time, it was reported that Zhu Youlang, the king of Guilin, ascended the throne in Zhaoqing, Guangdong, with the support of the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, and another Southern Ming court was established.

The era name is perpetual.

Some of the Southern Ming courtiers have defected, for a time, the Yongli court controlled most of the territory of the Southern Ming, Guangxi, Guangdong, Jiangxi, Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, etc., while the Longwu court only had Ganzhou, Zhangzhou, Tingzhou, Ji'an, Binzhou, Quanzhou and other small territories.

With such a Ming Dynasty, the Portuguese did not lag behind, and directly sent troops to occupy Xiangshan, Jiuya, Jiuxing and other places, and expelled the Nanming County Orders and officials, claiming that this was the Portuguese Viceroyalty.

The Dutch, on the other hand, claimed Baodao as their domain and expelled Zheng Chenggong and other Ming generals and officials.

The southern part of the Ming Dynasty became a situation in which various lords were divided.
