Chapter 183 Strategizing

Holo would abandon the city and flee.

Anyway, he is also famous for his brains among the generals of the Qing army, of course, he knows very well that Dongping is out of play, which is not yet night, and when someone secretly opens the city gate at night, he will have 5,000 people, and it is impossible to withstand the attack of tens of thousands of Ming troops outside in this situation.

Running away is the only option.

Taking advantage of the night, he and Liu Yuyou led their subordinates to open the city gate and flee north.

Gao Dejie got the report of the people in the city too late, and he did not pursue it again, so he immediately entered Dongping, leaving Xue to garrison Luxi, and by the way, cleanse those traitors, and move the people in this area to the south along the canal, Dongping, Jining, Yanzhou, and all the people in these places moved away. The purge of the gentry's wealth was just to appease them, and the common people would not have much emotion, and the area prospered entirely because of the canal, but with the war between the north and the south, the decline of the canal was inevitable, and the topography caused the area to always be shrouded in the shadow of the Yellow River. Not to say that the Qing army deliberately broke the Yellow River, that is, during the war, the maintenance of the Yellow River was not taken into account, as long as it was in the north bank of the breach, this area was also an ocean, and the copper tile box broke during the Xianfeng period in the original history, almost turning this area into a pile of rotting corpses.

What's more, this area will inevitably become the main battlefield between the Ming and Qing dynasties.

And the population here is not very large.

Chongzhen thirteenth, fourteenth two consecutive years of Shandong drought in the main disaster area is this area, Wen River, Si River all dried up, even the canal has dried up, the people starved to death countless times, plus the escape, war, basically there is little left, it is estimated that at this time the need to move only hundreds of thousands. Now is the autumn harvest season, after harvesting the crops, use those boats to transport them south, take advantage of this winter to directly transport them to Huguang and Huainan to reclaim the wasteland and farm, by next spring can basically complete the resettlement, and then start the new year's production.

Yang Qingke bought a large number of sweet potatoes in Fujian and waited for them.

And corn in Huaixi also began to be planted.

This year, he will be able to get the first batch of seeds obtained through seed management, and although the yield will not be able to catch up with the sweet potato, he will be able to grow and harvest more than he has put in in the dry fields without water, and even in the mountains where crops cannot be grown at all. Sorghum was also very suitable for this era, although it was introduced very early, it did not become a major crop in the Yellow Flood until the middle of the Tatar Qing Dynasty, and these crops could be organized for these new immigrants to grow. Yang Qing wants to take Huangzhuang as a demonstration and extension base for new agriculture, naturally grow rice in good conditions, grow corn and sorghum in poor conditions, and plant sweet potatoes, mixed potatoes, pumpkins, and so on in the worst areas, and finally make full use of all the usable land from the plains south of the Huai River to the mountainous areas.

There is no other way in the North.

It is only possible to minimize the population and increase the per capita land.

After solving the battlefield of Luxi, Gao Dejie led his cavalry to turn to Guide.

At this time, the main force of the Qing army led by Duoduo had begun to attack Henan, and the Ming army actually had only one first army in Henan, in addition to Yuan Zong's first army. Even so, the number of troops is still insufficient, you must know that Duoduo is going south with an army of 100,000, including 20,000 Mongolian cavalry, and 30,000 of the Eight Banners Divine Army that has just been formed.

Those god armies are famous.

Even the Ming army knew that they liked to rush into the crowd with gunpowder bags on their backs on the battlefield......

"This is easy to solve!"

Yang Qing waved his hand very indifferently and said.

"Master Hou, our car camp can't withstand this!"

Li Yutian reminded him.

This tactic does pose a great threat to the car battalion, and it can't even carry the city gate, not to mention the thin side van, basically a god warrior can blow up the car city......

Provided, of course, that he can get close.

"Just use this!"

Yang Qing said proudly holding a bird gun that was not too long.

Fusiliers.

After two years of hard work, the craftsmen of the Jinyiwei Ordnance Institute finally made a qualified flintlock pistol for him, but because of the complicated procedure for processing springs, the output was very low, at least it was not enough to provide a large amount of equipment to the army. The key is that there is no enough high-quality iron ore, even if it is charcoal smelting and then repeatedly beating, and then after complex heat treatment, it is still difficult to ensure the quality of the spring, after all, the current smelting methods, many impurities can not be removed.

A large amount of equipment has to wait for the iron ore of Hainan Island to be developed.

But special forces can be equipped in small quantities.

For example......

Sniper.

This is also a rifled gun.

Yang Qing picked up the paper shell bullet from the table next to him and loaded it with gunpowder, then took out a bullet wrapped in linen cloth and soaked in oil, and under the curious eyes of the surrounding generals, he erected an eight-sided forged barrel, put the bullet on the muzzle, and smashed it from the muzzle of the gun little by little with a small wooden gas and a tong......

"Can this fight?"

Li Yutian said in astonishment.

Indeed, this strange way of loading bullets with wooden gas smashing through strips is still very eye-catching.

"This is only for special troops, don't look at its reloading, but it is not at the same level as the bird gun in terms of range and accuracy."

Yang Qing said as he raised the loaded gun.

Then he pulled the trigger.

At least sixty zhang away from them, a goat grazing fell down in response, and then Yang Qing raised the barrel of his gun and blew the faint smoke that was still wafting outward.

Everyone gasped.

Yang Qing then threw the gun to the Jinyi guard beside him.

"Take the brothers of the sniper team, immediately go to Henan to reinforce the First Army, your duty is very simple, search for the enemy on the battlefield with gunpowder bags, and then shoot them specifically, if there is no such enemy, then shoot their generals, but mainly shoot those with gunpowder bags on their backs. In addition, all bullets and shells, even arrows, knives and spears, etc., were wiped or soaked in lard in all armies, and this point should be widely publicized. ”

He said.

The brocade guard immediately took the order to leave.

The first sniper team under Jinyiwei, a total of twenty-four snipers were put into the battlefield in this way, this rifle has an effective range of nearly 200 meters, enough to shoot those god warriors, this is actually the Kentucky rifle used in the American Revolutionary War, or the lengthened German Jaeger rifle. The latter was made in the late seventeenth century, and there was no difficulty in the current technical level of the Ming Dynasty, and the rifling was drawn with a hook knife like the colonists during the American Pioneers, and the handmade tools were carved out one by one like carving, not a real spiral, or eight oblique grooves, which were very rudimentary but really effective.

"Master Hou, how to deal with it over there in Yunnan?"

Ma Shiying said.

He was reinstated, his new position is the governor of Yunnan, responsible for assisting Grandma Qin, the commander of the Zunyi Xingying Battalion, to quell the Tusi rebellion in Yunnan, but the problem is that Yang Qing has not sent troops so far! Although Grandma Qin is in charge of the military, he can't go to work bare!

That's going to kill you.

On the way, he may find a bandit from the forest and cut him down.

Yang Qing groaned.

He really didn't want to send troops.

Yunnan is similar to the original history, or Wuding Tusi Wu Bikui launched a rebellion, saying that it was King Zungui, but in fact it had nothing to do with King Gui, purely to grab territory, and then Mu Tianbo recruited several Tusi led by Mengzi Tusi Sha Dingzhou to fight Wu Bikui, and the result is not yet known.

Of course, Yang Qing actually knows.

This coalition army quickly defeated Wu Bikui, but Sha Dingzhou entered Kunming, and then raided the Qianguo Mansion in Kunming, Mu Tianbo fled, Sha Dingzhou controlled Kunming and tried to dominate Yunnan, and then it was indeed very successful, but unfortunately it was slapped to death by Sun Kewang, who fled from Sichuan to Yunnan when he was one step away from the final success. It can be seen that the combat effectiveness of these Tusi is sad, but these have not happened yet, and now it is just the beginning of this war that has lasted for many years, Yang Qing doesn't care about the Tusi rebellion, he actually thinks more about how to take this opportunity to get rid of Mu Tianbo.

"Give you a battalion!"

Yang Qing thought for a while and said.

"It is mainly mountainous, and it is not suitable for the tactics of the car battalion, so I will transfer a battalion of the tax police team to you, you go to Qin Liangyu first, and let Qin Liangyu mobilize the army of Guizhou to Kunming. But you don't want to participate in the war, your task is to control Kunming and prevent those Tusi people from taking the opportunity to do things, especially that Sha Dingzhou, according to Jinyiwei's intelligence, this person is not like a good person.

And that Mu Tianbo.

This Yunnan belongs to the imperial court, not his Mu family's own fiefdom, their Mu family guards Yunnan, but they don't treat Yunnan as a feudal country for him. ”

"Xia Guan understands!"

Ma Shiying said.

He was a smart man and knew what Yang Qing meant by this.

"Then go ahead!"

Yang Qing said with satisfaction.

Yunnan will be handed over to Ma Shiying, in fact, even if there is no battalion tax police team, just Qin Liangyu's Guizhou army can stop Sha Dingzhou's ambition when he enters Yunnan, originally in history, he just knew that Mu Tianbo had no backstage. But this time, because of the truce with Zhang Xianzhong, there is no war in the southwest, and the imperial court can transfer a lot of troops from Guizhou to the south, not only Grandma Qin, Grandma Qin is also a toast, but an obedient toast, and the Ming Dynasty still has a bunch of guards in Guizhou! Including Yunnan, there are actually a bunch of guards, but they are just as rotten as the guards in other places, as long as the reform of these guards is completed, those toasts in Yungui are just some vegetables.

Zhu Yuanzhang's system actually has great advantages, but it's a pity that his own knowledge is not enough, leaving too many loopholes and then being broken by later generations.

But essentially good.

Go deep into the guards of these Tusi districts, use militarized armed immigrants to form a society parallel to Tusi, and then the two sides are intricately mixed together. As long as there is a rebellion in the Tusi, the nearest guards are quickly armed, and then the chaos is enclosed in a limited area as much as possible, and when the troops of the guards from all over the country gather, the rest is directly slapped to death.

But it's a pity that it was broken.

Now it's just a matter of modifying it.

But at this time, he couldn't take care of it, at this time, the reform of the guard center had just begun, and the effective control area of the imperial court had not yet been completed, let alone these remote places.
