The first tornado begins at the end of the Wanderer

On the morning of the fourth day of the first month of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, Yu Youhan was loaded with strategic materials such as saltpeter, cotton cloth, grain, and pig iron from Qinbao, and filled 25 Zuogang ships. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The remaining twelve empty boats were used to transport the young and strong homeless people along the way.

He was accompanied by 200 soldiers of the Tianxiong Army and Liu Zongzhou, the future head of Linpu Academy.

Of course, there are also one million taels of silver tickets that Qin Haoming obtained by trying his best to blackmail.

In the afternoon, the merchants in Texas, but some of the merchants who were captured by sending spies, were all blackmailed by Qin Haoming on charges of spying on military secrets and being implicated in the Fan family's rebellion.

Fortunately, Qin Haoming didn't go too far, just asking for money.

According to the words of the tortured secret agent, ask about the situation of the owner's family and his usual business partners.

They can act as spies, either they are smart-minded people or they are relied on by the master's family as confidants, so they naturally know more about the depth of these businesses and the objects they cooperate with than others.

Therefore, all the big merchants who have close contacts with the Jin merchants have been exploited.

It's just that Qin Haoming has a good sense of proportion, although it makes you feel pain, but it doesn't hurt your heart, in short, it's still within their tolerance.

More than fifty or sixty thousand, as little as seven or eight thousand, if he wants nothing to be penny, he doesn't mind showing his hideous fangs.

Yesterday, Qin Haoming's actions, words and deeds at the execution ground have already won him praise from the people of Texas, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is in full swing.

The people's hearts and people's hopes are on his side, these rich and unkind businessmen come forward at this time, where will Qin Haoming let them have good fruits to eat?

This move suddenly made Qin Haoming's pocket, which was originally empty, swell again, and raised nearly 400,000 silver taels of "charity" from 23 large merchants from all over the country.

People are wrong for a while, and people are wrong for a year!

With money, food and people in his hands, Qin Haoming's heart became active.

In any case, I have to go back to Linpu anyway and arrange the direction of future development.

It is not said that Zhang Yun and Lu Xinrong, including Yu Youhan, who has just left for home, have any problems with their abilities, but their overall situation and future direction are undoubtedly more purposeful than them.

On the fifth day of the first month of January, Qin Haoming, who had a lot of income, left Dezhou under the urging of Yan Jizu and rushed to the aid of Jinan Mansion.

Speaking from the inside, he didn't plan to save King Zhu Youshu at all.

What is the salvation of a Ming clan that occupies all the fields of Zide, Heng and Jing in Shandong, and the civil land is exhausted?

It is conceivable that in addition to the Lutian and fat powder fields of the Dewang Mansion, there are thousands of hectares and tens of thousands of hectares, and the plastered land in Jinan can have geometry?

But he can't watch the people of Jinan Mansion being slaughtered by Dolgon, you know, his ferocity is much more cruel than Yue Tuo?

At least we have to restrain the beastly nature of this mongrel, so that he has some scruples, and he can't let go of his hands and feet to kill the people of the Ming Dynasty.

"Lord Yan, this is the elite of Jinan Mansion?"

Even if he was mentally prepared, he understood that except for a limited number of strong armies, the other troops of the Ming Dynasty had no combat effectiveness.

But when the two armies met, looking at the sluggish Jinan Mansion troops without the slightest image of soldiers, Qin Haoming still felt shocked, and couldn't believe his eyes.

If this is the so-called main force that was ordered to be transferred to Dezhou in Yan Jizu's mouth, then how unbearable are the more than 500 old and weak remnants who stayed in Jinan Mansion and can fight, and the 700 people who rushed from Laizhou to reinforce them?

"They are all loyal and righteous people, and they have no regrets for the Ming Dynasty!

Maybe it's because I'm too tired, after all, it's rare to rest after a few trips back and forth.

Besides, if the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty are like the Tianxiong Army, how can there be any saying that there is a slave Koubian? ”

Yan Jizu looked helplessly at the two teams with completely different mental outlooks, although he was full of complaints and a little unwilling, but he still said things against his heart very clearly.

The governor of the year of the fast sixtieth year, the nominal supreme administrator of Shandong Province, with a "main force" of only 3,000 soldiers and horses, not even a deputy general, frequently traveled between Jinan and Dezhou.

He couldn't command Ni Chong's Cao Ding troops, and Liu Zeqing, the governor of Liu Zuo, who was supposed to stand up to protect the safety of Jinan Mansion, took his elite generals to avoid fighting in Huwei Town, Texas.

As a result, all the things and responsibilities fell on him, and he had to beg for reinforcements to protect Jinan Mansion.

The spockmarked white hair that appeared between Governor Yan's helmet in the twelve-year spring breeze of Chongzhen's twelve-year breeze made Qin Haoming feel desolate and sad.

The military ills of the Ming Dynasty were already evident at the time of the war, but they were not effectively solved.

There will be no special soldiers, and soldiers will not be private generals.

The soldiers and generals of the Ming Dynasty are not together, but separate and independent, and they only gather together when they need to fight.

This can prevent the generals from rebelling with their own troops, but when it comes to fighting, it is inefficient, chaotic management, and insufficient training.

In addition, the source of troops is also a big problem.

Compulsory military tuntian, generations are not allowed to leave the country, military salaries are meager, in wartime as cannon fodder, peacetime as coolies, and in the escape, take joint sitting, forced relatives and family to replace.

Such a source of soldiers congenitally lacks strong combat effectiveness and high morale, and this kind of "professional" soldier who "fights for the sake of war" is easily discouraged and has a strong war-weariness.

In the late Ming Dynasty, the conscription system was used to recruit troops.

But this requires generals to have a very high consciousness and sense of responsibility, after all, there are not many people like Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting.

As a result, the management of the army became very chaotic, and the officers were engaged in corruption and misrepresented the number of troops.

As a result, military spending is getting bigger and bigger, and households are getting less and less money, so they can only increase the taxes of the common people.

Such contradictions are becoming more and more intense, military issues have not been resolved, and political strategy has a direct impact on the outcome of the war.

Daming is really terminally ill, and it can be saved by non-medicine stones.

"General Qin doesn't need to worry too much, the city wall of Jinan Mansion is tall, and all kinds of reserves in the city are relatively sufficient, if the soldiers and civilians in the city are the same enemy, Jiannu will definitely not be able to break it.

In addition, Yang Benbing has already ordered the senior supervisor army and the ancestral staff general to come to the aid in the starry night, and they will arrive in a few days.

Regarding the two strong armies of Ning Tieqi and Tianxiong Army, Jinan has no worries! ”

Yan Jizu saw that Qin Haoming was silent, thinking that he was worried about the loss of Jinan or had concerns, so he hurriedly told the surrounding situation together.

"Alas!"

Qin Haoming sighed heavily, looking at Governor Yan, who had pale sideburns and a thin body riding on a tall horse, looking a little discordant, but he was still energetic and encouraging himself, and couldn't help but be in awe.

In any case, such a loyal minister must not be allowed to become a scapegoat and die a tragic death!

"Lord Yan, you must immediately send someone to urge the senior supervisor army and General Zu, and at the same time inform the military department about this. Especially Yang Benbing, the wording was as harsh as possible. ”

Qin Haoming knew that it was absolutely impossible for Gao Qiqian and Zu Kuan to rush to the aid of Jinan Mansion, so some work might as well be done ahead.

"What is General Qin worried about?"
