Chapter 2 Assemble at once, immediately

That battle can be said to be the last glory of the Ming army, they killed and wounded more than 10,000 Jurchens with 7,000 men. Almost knocked out the Jurchen Xiang, if it weren't for the traitors who bought the gunners at the head of Shengjing City.

Broke through the array of white pole soldiers with heavy artillery, then the outcome of this battle is really hard to say. It is said that at that time, the formation of the white pole soldiers was broken by artillery, and more than half of them were drowned in the Hunhe River.

In the end, only a few dozen people were left to flee back to the south bank of the Hun. As for why the white pole soldiers went to the north bank of the Hunhe River alone, instead of stationing with the Zhejiang soldiers on the south bank, it is estimated that it has something to do with this brawl.

If the two armies are not in harmony, it is impossible to cooperate sincerely. The Zhejiang soldiers on the south bank may not have the intention of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight when they saw that the formation of the white pole soldiers was broken by artillery.

As a result, they were defeated one by one by the Jurchens led by Nurhachi.

After the Jurchens had eliminated the white pole soldiers, they crossed the Hunhe River and launched a siege against 3,000 Zhejiang soldiers. The battle ended at dusk, and finally the gunpowder carried by the Zhejiang soldiers ran out, relying on the Mandarin Duck Array of the Qi family army to resist the Jurchens tenaciously.

But in the end, they were outnumbered, and Qi Jin himself gave up the opportunity to escape alone. turned around and killed back in the crowd of Tartars, and finally after killing 17 Tartars in a row, he was exhausted, and was surrounded by Tartars with dozens of Zhejiang soldiers.

Tens of thousands of Tartars did not dare to attack in the face of dozens of Zhejiang soldiers, but they fired thousands of arrows in the distance, and finally none of the 120 generals including Chen Ce, Qi Jin, Qin Minping, Qin Bangping, Zhou Jidun, and Zhang Dadou surrendered, and all of them died in battle.

Now that Zhang Dou knows that he is the last name, and he will end his 21-year-old life in half a month, he is wondering if this bloody battle of the Hunhe River really can't be rewritten?

He remembered that he had seen on the Internet in later generations that a group of 3,000 reinforcements had arrived near the battlefield, but was killed by Huang Taiji and 800 people.

Yuan Yingtai also led tens of thousands of people to the battlefield, and was also killed by Huang Taiji 3,000 people, while the rest were scattered in a hurry. It seems that to change the history of this bloody battle, relying on those pig teammates will not work at all.

But with 7,000 people against tens of thousands of Jurchen Tartars, it is not easy to win! At that time, even escaping will become a luxury.

What do you have to do? If you take advantage of this injury to stay in Liaoyang to raise troops, you will be able to avoid this big battle. But is that all it takes?

Seeing that the last daring soldier of the Ming Dynasty perished in front of his eyes like this, what about twenty years later?

At that time, the Manchu Qing Dynasty accumulated enough strength to sweep the world and occupy the great rivers and mountains of China.

At that time, as long as you don't want to shave your hair and change clothes, you will still be unable to escape death, so it is better to have a good time with the Jurchens on the edge of the Hunhe River now!

He thought quietly for a while, and Zhang Ergou came back. He carried two large bowls in his hand, one black and one yellow. He cautiously walked up to Zhang Dou and carefully put the big bowl on the edge of the kang.

"General, the medicine is boiled, be careful of scalding." As he spoke, he handed a bowl of black things to Zhang Dou's approach. Zhang Dou hesitated for a long time before taking the medicine bowl, he hesitated for a long time between revealing that he was a traverser or drinking this bowl of black things before deciding to drink this bowl of black things.

Zhang Dou took a deep breath, brought the medicine bowl to his mouth, summoned up the greatest courage, and drank the medicine in the bowl in one go. Hey! This bowl is not as unpleasant as Zhang Dou imagined, and it is only slightly bitter in the mouth.

There is also a bit of medicinal fragrance, which is completely different from the black soup imagined by Zhang Dou. After drinking it, I still feel that my body is warm, and even the boredom in my chest has dispelled a lot.

It seems that the whole body also has strength, no longer as soft as just now, as if there is inexhaustible strength. Could it be that there is a thousand-year-old ginseng in this bowl of medicine? Or is there a 10,000-year-old He Shou Wu? Or the Tianshan Snow Lotus?

Forehead! Phew! Tianshan Snow Lotus is for women to be confined, and this can't be had.

Zhang Ergou then handed another big bowl to Zhang Dou, "General! You have been in a coma for 7 days, and Mr. Wang said that you can't eat greasy, so the little one boiled you a bowl of millet porridge. ”

Zhang Dou took the big bowl and looked at the fragrant millet porridge, he was really hungry. He said, "Thank you!" He drank the porridge by himself.

His word thank you made Zhang Ergou at a loss, in this hierarchical society, it is natural for them to serve the main general.

He was worried for a long time, and only then did he feel relieved when he found that Zhang Dou was not unusual. Just now, he thought that Zhang Dou didn't want him because of his poor protection!

In that way, even if you return to your hometown, you will be spurned by others, and you will not be able to hold your head up and be a man for the rest of your life.

After Zhang Dou finished drinking the porridge, Zhang Ergou said, "General! Lord Qin Minping sent someone to send a thousand taels of silver, saying that he was making amends for his sins, and when his injuries were healed, he would invite him to drink! ”

Zhang Dou became a little interested when he heard this, "What silver?" Zhang Dou asked.

"Even if they injured the general, our Qi family army is not easy to mess with. In the end, it was General Qin Liangyu Qin who was their white pole soldier who personally wrote to the court to ask for guilt, and the matter was settled. In order for the general not to hold them accountable, they were willing to pay 1,000 taels of silver to compensate the general for his losses. ”

Zhang Dou grinned after hearing this, at this time, it was a typical practice of not being able to beat people and going to the adults in the family to call the shots. This made Zhang Dou, who had been a soldier, full of disdain, no wonder the white pole soldiers could not work together with the Zhejiang soldiers when the war came.

Just now, the second dog also said that the Qi family's army, the current Zhejiang army is far worse than the Qi family's army. At least the Qi family army is also strong in hand-to-hand combat, and they will not be beaten and bloodied by the white pole soldiers like this.

"How much money do I have now? Forehead! Silver. Zhang Dou asked, whether he wanted to make friends with the white pole soldiers. You still have to bring more gunpowder without silver, and you have to give silver to the warehouse to lead the army this year, otherwise what awaits you is this broken copper and iron.

"General, you have been good to your brothers all these years! The brothers were fed all the time, so there were not many interceptions, only 300 taels, but with the addition of the 1,000 taels, we had a lot of silver. Zhang Ergou said, and he was excited

It's only a little more than a thousand taels of silver, and then he has to train the soldiers and get as much gunpowder as possible, which requires silver!

Zhang Dou saw that it was about 9 o'clock in the morning, and his body was recovering well, so he planned to go out to the forward camp for a stroll, and by the way, he was familiar with the current environment, and he was going to prepare for the big battle in half a month.

Only left him half a month to prepare, if he didn't hurry up, I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to do anything in this half month.

In fact, the fall of the Ming Dynasty cannot be attributed entirely to the strength of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but it is undeniable that the combat power of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is much stronger than that of the Ming Dynasty.

But the Manchus only had a large population, and how many armor soldiers they had. If you count the battleable soldiers of their Eight Banners, there are only about 60,000 people, what is this enough person for?

The population of the Ming Dynasty is calculated in hundreds of millions, and one soldier who can't beat the Manchu Qing Dynasty can't be ten? What about hundreds? Even if you use human life to consume it, you can also consume the Manchu Qing Dynasty to death.

Why did the Ming Dynasty perish in the end? The reason lies in the unreasonable tax system of the Ming Dynasty. The landlords and gentry, who owned 85 percent of the country's land, did not pay taxes, but the yeoman farmers, who owned 15 percent of the land, had to bear the entire state tax burden.

If the state cannot collect the tax burden, there will be no silver to build the country, let alone money to raise troops to fight, so it can only raise taxes on ordinary people again, forming a vicious circle.

It is said that Emperor Chongzhen except for the outer dragon robe is new, the clothes inside are all patched, and the three meals a day are also very simple, this is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

And the ministers under him have fine clothes and food every day. There is more silver in his hand than the emperor, and he lives more nourishingly than the emperor, which is the biggest irony of Zhu Ming's 300-year dynasty.

When the people had no money to pay taxes and could not survive, they had no choice but to rebel. Therefore, the peasant uprisings in various places in the late Ming Dynasty have never been broken, which is also the root of the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Dou felt that he would go to his forward battalion first, after all, it was the power he could control, and it was the greatest capital for his life. Far away, you could hear the noise in the barracks, and Zhang Dou's brows couldn't help frowning.

If this was in the Qi family army back then, if someone dared to make such a noise in the barracks, they would have been put into camp by arrows. In the Qi family army back then, except for a few military songs that could be sung, there were no entertainment activities left, and those who dared to gather crowds to make noise were felonies.

When I opened the door of a room, I saw more than 20 people sitting or standing inside. They were all chatting loudly about the woman, and a few of the older ones were talking about his glorious history of visiting brothels.

When they saw Zhang Dou coming in, they instantly fell silent. Several people inadvertently moved inside, and the youngest soldier turned pale with fright, and they all looked at Zhang Dou in horror.

Zhang Dou glanced at the soldiers in the room expressionlessly, and said to the second dog behind him: "Gather now!" Immediately! ”

His voice was full of coldness, and it made people feel cold all over the body.

Zhang Dou came to the school field without saying a word, his face was expressionless, but a monstrous wave of anger had risen in his heart. Now it is only half a month before the bloody battle of the Hunhe River, and if they are still as loose as before, then they still can't escape the fate of being completely annihilated.

He can't allow this to happen, he's going to change all that! He didn't want to die, at least not in vain!
