Chapter 374: The Counterattack of the Eight Banners (2)
At the critical moment, Da Chun didn't say anything to Zhu Ergang, and stepped forward and asked: "Brother, it seems that the Han army in the city is rebelling, what should we do?" "Da Chun has only been a squad leader, and he has no experience at all in this situation, so he can only obey the orders of the veteran Zhu Ergang.
Zhu Erganga and Dachun are different, when he was in Haixi Jurchen, he was a famous warrior of the Yehe Department, and after being absorbed by Nurhachi, he fought for more than 20 years, and in the last ten years, he also served as the personal soldier of the most capable Yu prince Duoduo of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so he naturally learned a lot.
Zhu Erganga looked at the situation and said: "Dachun, you go north, I go east, Energizer collects the Eight Banners, we are all gathered in the big playground next to the North City Gate, there is a thousand garrisons of the Eight Banners, and there are two thousand Han Army Eight Banners, it should still be in our hands, where to talk about what to do next!" ”
Da Chun nodded, and went north with Zhu Erganga. Da Chun's home is in Beicheng near the West Gate, so he recruited troops first, but it was still very calm in other parts of Beicheng, at this time Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren were still attacking the yamen, and they had not yet poured out the time to clean up these garrison Eight Banners.
Dachun soon gathered more than 200 people, including old and young, the oldest ones were in their sixties, the younger ones were only fifteen years old, and there were more than 50 Manchurian bigfoot mothers-in-law. These women are powerful and powerful, and they are also good hands.
At this time, the various yamen in Beicheng had been captured, and Jin Shenghuan felt that there should be no resistance, and began to let the soldiers rob. Dachun's more than 200 people finally encountered a large Ming army.
When Da Chun and the others passed by the gunpowder bureau, they happened to encounter a group of Ming troops who came out of the Yamen of the Judge on the opposite side, about 100 people. Seeing that they are bulging in their arms, it seems that there is no shortage of grabbing.
As soon as this group of Ming soldiers left the gate of the yamen, they saw a large group of ordinary people passing by the yamen on the opposite side. These guys thought that they had encountered the fleeing people, and a hundred households said: "Brothers, do you see, there is a bunch of fat sheep here, oh! There are dozens of mothers-in-law inside, just grab it and everyone is happy! Give it to me! ”
Under the officer's order, this group of Ming soldiers screamed and pounced on Dachun and his party. The Ming army didn't expect that these ordinary people in colorful clothes were a group of demon kings who killed people without blinking. As soon as they came into contact with the Eight Banners of Manchuria, the Ming army was cut down to more than 20 people. The little officer in the rear team saw that it was wrong, and there were ordinary people with such good skills, and shouted: "Brothers, it's not right! These guys are Tartars! ”
But he found out that it was too late, the Ming army in front was cut down like melons and vegetables, and the people behind shouted and fled in all directions, and the little officer also ran with the flow of people and didn't know where to go.
Seeing this group of Ming soldiers like this, Da Chun said contemptuously: "I want to rebel with such combat effectiveness!" After speaking, ignoring the fleeing Ming army, he rushed to the Beicheng Playground with more than 200 men, women and children.
When they came to the north playground, the soldiers guarding the gate saw that they were all their own people, and let Dachun and his party in. Dai Shan, the city guard stationed in the Eight Banners, saw the clansmen coming, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask about the situation in the city.
The official positions of the Eight Banners are very chaotic, and the official positions of the Beijing Battalion and the Eight Banners stationed in Beijing are not the same. The city guard captain is the name of the general of the Manchurian Eight Banners garrison, Zheng Sanpin, responsible for the defense of important prefectures, and the position of deputy capital commander is about the same, but of course the importance cannot be compared. There are 16 city guards and yamen in the country. The number of soldiers led by the city guard is generally in the hundreds, the few are more than 100, and in some places there are more than 1,000 people. Because Nanchang is the front line, there are 1,000 and 8 banners here, and there are 2,000 Han army and 8 banners, and the commander is this Daishan.
When Daishan was asking about the situation in the city, a group of people came outside, about five or six hundred, these people were not as glamorous as Dachun, one by one they were covered in blood, and some were seriously injured. It is Zhu Ergang who takes the lead.
When Daishan saw Zhu Ergang coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Big brother!" How's it going in town? ”
Zhu Ergang Ah took a breath and looked at his brother Daishan, this Daishan is also Yehebu, which is Zhu Ergang's own brother.
"The city is very bad, the governor's yamen, the political envoy's yamen, and the inspection yamen have all been burned down, and I heard that Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren rebelled. When we came over, we were confronted by a rebel brigade of 2,000 men, and we managed to escape! ”
Zhang Yutian, the Manchu governor on the side, hurriedly asked, "General, can you see that it is Jin Shenghuan's army?" ”
Zhu Ergang glared at Zhang Yutian, he had never had a good eye on these Han people.
"Needless to say, they are all wearing our military uniforms and speaking Chinese, what is not Jin Shenghuan's army?"
Now Zhang Yutian is like an ant on a hot pot, such a big thing happened here in Jiangxi, and when it came to Dolgon, the prince of Rui in Beijing, he must not have his own good fruit to eat, at least the charge of not being strict with the emperor is sitting firmly. Now the only way to put out the rebellion in the city and minimize the damage can be less. Just now, Zhang Yutian had begged Daishan to send troops to quell the rebellion, but he was pushed back by Daishan on the grounds that the military situation was unknown. Daishan can't help it, now he only has 3,000 men and horses in his hands, and they are all old, weak, sick and disabled, and the strong ones have been taken to the Huguang battlefield by Tan Tai. Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren have 8,000 men on their side, and it's really hard to say who can win in a fight.
Now that Zhu Ergang A has brought first-hand news, Zhang Yutian hurriedly said: "General Daishan, send troops, take advantage of the fact that Jin Shenghuan does not have many people to drive them out, if he transfers the 10,000 horses from Ruizhou back, then everything is over, and you and I can't explain to Prince Rui!" ”
Daishan thought about it, Ruizhou is less than a hundred miles away from Nanchang, and the fast horse can rush back in one day, if the 10,000 people are rushing back, then they have no hope at all, and the five or six thousand eight banners in the city will have no way to live.
Dai Shan made up his mind and said: "Okay, here in the barracks, please ask the eldest brother to bring five hundred banners to guard, and the other 1,000 eight banners and two thousand Han army eight banners and I will go to quell the rebellion!" ”
Hearing Daishan say this, Governor Zhang Yutian was overjoyed, as long as Daishan sent troops, he would definitely be able to drive Jin Shenghuan out of Nanchang City.
Zhang Yutian looked at Daishan, who was busy preparing, and sneered in his heart, these Manchurian Qiu Baman's brains are full of muscles, don't they know that the pen can also kill? As long as you operate by yourself, you can completely detain the basin that forced Jin Shenghuan to be on the head of Daishan, but this guy is Manchuria with a white flag, and the owner of the flag is Duoduo, the prince of Yu, so he should not lose his head.
Zhang Yutian's heart was flooded with bad water, and he returned to his tent and hurriedly wrote a few secret letters, asking his cronies and family members to send them out separately. The first letter is, of course, to the teacher in Beijing, who is also a big celebrity in front of Prince Rui, Fan Wencheng, a university scholar. In the letter, Zhang Yutian pinned the guilt of forcing Jin Shenghuan to rebel against Jin Shenghuan on Daishan and other Manchurians, saying how they bullied the former Ming generals, visited the kiln without giving money, and asked the old bustard to pay money to buy peace and other dirty methods, and it was precisely because these Eight Banner generals did not pay attention to national unity that they forced Jin Shenghuan and others to rebel. And Zhang Yutian strategized by himself, saw through Jin Shenghuan's hypocrisy in one fell swoop, and led the Eight Banners of the Han Army to fight bravely, etc.
The second to the fourth were letters asking for help, one to Tan Tai, who was far away in Changsha and fighting with He Tengjiao, the former governor of Huguang in the Ming Dynasty, explaining the situation to him and asking him to send reinforcements to quell the rebellion. One letter was sent to Tong Guonai in Fujian, asking him to pull a brother for the sake of the Han military flag. One letter was sent to Ma Guozhu, the governor of Jiangnan in Jiujiang, who was newly appointed governor of Jiangnan in April this year, and has jurisdiction over the three provinces of Jiangxi, Henan, and Nanzhili, and is now preparing military rations and grass for Tan Tai in Jiujiang.
Zhang Yutian calculated that as long as one of these three reinforcements could arrive, Jin Shenghuan's less than 20,000 people would not be able to make waves at all. Coupled with the operation of his mentor in Beijing, he has no merit at all, and he can't help but smile when he thinks of being happy.
At this time, Daishan was just finishing preparations, and was about to ask Zhang Yutian to send troops, and he saw Zhang Yutian's lewd smile.
"Why is the Governor laughing?"
Zhang Yutian was very embarrassed to be seen on his mind, and coughed and said: "I was thinking that the general would definitely be able to win when he sent troops, so the official laughed happily!" ”
Daishan can believe his nonsense, but these Han people are all very treacherous, and they can't believe it at all. But now there is no way, the annoying Han man in front of him is the governor of Jiangxi, and his own city guard is nominally under his control.
Dai Shan arched his hand and asked, "Lord Futai, the lower officials have been assembled, please issue an order!" ”
"Good! That official is here to wish General Daishan a victory! ”
After receiving the order, Daishan went out and entered the city with 3,000 people to quell the rebellion, and the military camp in the north playground was handed over to the 500 banners brought by Zhu Erganga to guard.
At this time, Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren's teams had already entered the city, plus the righteous people who joined the army in Nanchang City, a total of 10,000 people, which was still at the peak of the army, at least much more than the 3,000 people on the Manchu side.
Jin Shenghuan is now sitting in the yamen of the Jiangxi General Army, looking at the silver copied from the homes of Manchu officials such as Zhang Yutian, Dong Xuecheng, and Chi Bianlong, and laughing. I didn't expect these guys to be greedy for money, and they actually got so much silver in less than two years, and now it's all cheap!
Outside the door, Jin Shenghuan's personal captain Jin Er took a look at it, and happened to be seen by Jin Shenghuan.
"Second son, is there something wrong?"
Jin Er walked into the house and said, "Dashuai, just now Wang Jing sent someone to report that we had a group of 2,000 people in Beicheng, and we encountered a group of Manchurian Tartars in Beicheng, and they killed and injured more than 500 people!" ”
Jin Shenghuan was stunned for a moment and asked, "How many people are on the other side?" ”
Jin Er said hesitantly: "Five or six hundred people, all of them are old and weak, women and children!" ”
"What? Wang Jing is a waste, two thousand people can't beat five hundred old and weak, what is he eating! Second son, you go and tell him, let him bring someone to kill all these Manchu Tartars for me, and don't come back to see me if there is any left! ”
Jin Er nodded and went out to deliver the letter.
Jin Shenghuan sat down after waiting for Jin Er to leave, he was from Liaodong and knew the combat effectiveness of the Manchurians very well, but this was a bit too exaggerated, but it was better to be careful.
Thinking of this, Jin Shenghuan called two guards, one of whom was sent to Ruizhou, and asked his own general Pan Yongxi in Ruizhou to speed up the march, and he must rush to Nanchang before dawn tomorrow. There is also Jiang Yueguang, who went up the Gan River and found him in a hurry, he took 30,000 people to the point, if these 30,000 people arrived, everything would be fine.
