Chapter 29: A New Wolf Smoke
The Dengzhou city in front of Zhang Pengfei was last repaired in Chongzhen for 11 years, 16 years ago.
The city wall is a traditional Chinese style, and no additional anti-artillery measures have been built. Under cannon bombardment, the walls of the city were flew, and the female wall collapsed.
Against the backdrop of the blue sky and sea, black gunpowder smoke rose outside the city.
The Shandong Green Battalion had never seen an enemy artillery group composed of 30 cannons, and the huge Ming artillery deeply shocked Yang Yu.
Yang Yu was a Jinshi in the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, and after the Tatars entered the customs, he joined the new dynasty as an official, which was the first time he went to the battlefield.
The Ming army in front of him was well-groomed and well-equipped, and it must have come from the south. Yang Yu had heard a little about the extravagance of the Southern Ming Army in artillery.
Zheng Chenggong lined up hundreds of Hongyi cannons in Haicheng, Jin, and Xiamen, including 5,000 jin and 8,000 jin giant cannons. There are more artillery guns in the Ming army in Hainan, and the entire Leizhou Mansion is a battery group.
Fighting in the south, what Bayala white-armored soldiers, strong bows and heavy arrows are all floating clouds.
When the two armies started a war, tens of thousands of shells were smashed on the ground, and then tens of thousands of shotguns were sprayed against each other, easily knocking out more than 1 million catties of gunpowder a year.
The price of gunpowder in the Ministry of Industry is more than 12 taels per 100 catties, and even the factory price is more than 100,000 taels of silver, and it is even more expensive to transport it to the battlefield. Except for the occasional Gulf landing, there are no tricks to fight in the south, that is, there are more pipes than which side is thicker.
The Zhenhaimen tower in the north was smashed by more than 200 shells, and the wooden tower collapsed, burying more than 30 green battalion soldiers and people. At this time, none of the green battalion soldiers of the Dengzhou battalion wanted to go to the north city wall to be bombarded.
Yang Yu is blind, what should I do?
There are many guest troops, and at this time in the city, the only person Yang Yu can trust is Yuan Rugui, the general of the Dengzhou battalion. Yuan is a veteran general who came over in the troubled times of the Ming season, and he has a few brushes with his troops.
Yuan Rugui gritted his teeth and said, "Observe, there is no other way but to make silver."
"Dengzhou Mansion!"
"Observe."
"Give you 50 soldiers, and go to the big families in the city to solicit donations."
Li Jingguo, the governor of Dengzhou, agreed, and the Dengzhou treasury had no money at all, so he could only rely on extortion and apportionment.
The Ming army outside the city was menacing, the Tatar court military discipline was harsh, and as a pro-people official who defended the land, Li Jingguo had no way to retreat, either to hold Dengzhou or die with the city.
Fortunately, Dengzhou is not poor. In the first few years of the Tatars' entry into the customs, there was no time to take care of the rear, and the maritime trade in the city of Dengzhou was prosperous for a time.
The recent decline in Dengzhou's maritime trade is due to the impact of the sea ban on the one hand, and the siltation of the port is also an important reason, but the most important thing is the "Liaodong Reclamation Regulations" promulgated by the Tatars last year. Many of the Shandong gentry sailed to Liaodong, where there were ownerless wastelands.
However, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and before the development of Yantai and Jiaozhou Bay, Dengzhou was still the richest city on the Shandong coast.
Dengzhou Mansion led soldiers to door to door, carrying a bright waist knife, and raised more than 20,000 taels of silver.
Yang Yu hung out a reward of up to 50 taels of silver, and more than 200 soldiers from the two new battalions in Wendeng and Laizhou carried bamboo baskets and straw bags containing soil to repair the battlements overnight.
The Ming army slept all night, and when he got up in the morning, he was not surprised, and continued to bomb.
2 iron cannons captured in Shuicheng exploded, and more than 10 gunners who had just surrendered were killed, but they were all gone, and the soldiers with broken legs and hands were too miserable, and the wails were extremely harsh.
Zhang Pengfei turned a blind eye and asked the wounded soldiers to be dragged down and continued to shell.
The Wendeng and Laizhou camps were on top of the northern city wall for 2 days and collapsed.
Yang Yu was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, and once again offered the Dafa of extortion and donation, and this time the reward was as high as one hundred taels.
The black eyes are the most unsightly white flowers, and there are always people who want money and don't want to die. More than 100 green battalion soldiers from 3 battalions escorted more than 200 people to the north city wall again.
The cry of the people shook the sky, and the green battalion soldiers slashed one by one, chopping seven people in a row, which frightened the people.
The second group of green battalion soldiers were relatively fine, far away from the direction of the Ming army's cannons, and only forced the people to suffer on the bombed city wall.
The Ming army continued to shell, and the shells, masonry, and sawdust occasionally hit the human body, and immediately the stumps of minced flesh flew all over the sky.
Zhang Pengfei saw that the fire was almost over, and sent infantry to attack.
Before leaving, Zhang Pengfei said loudly to everyone: "If you take Dengzhou, I won't take a penny, and all the children's jade silk is yours." ”
The morale of the Ming army exploded in an instant.
The Ming army was covered by 1,000 arquebusiers of all kinds, and the platoon of guns easily overwhelmed the counterattack fire on the city.
During the shelling, the Ming army had set up ladders, and 400 hand-to-hand infantry in armor crossed the river.
A group of Yangyi wore bright plate armor and Spanish cockscomb helmets, and climbed to the top of the city with a variety of cold weapons.
Seeing the legendary invulnerable Iron Man Army, the Green Battalion soldiers shouted, and the wind howled.
In the south gate of Shuicheng, Gu Rong put down his binoculars, "Yu Shuai, Yangyi and our soldiers have rushed up." ”
Zhang Pengfei: "You take 200 soldiers forward and take Zhenhaimen as soon as possible." ”
Gu Rong laughed and took the order.
Gu San Mazi was born as a pirate, and it was a quick thing to break the city and kill people and rob women in his early years, and it is said that he has never laid down a mansion city.
At night, the Ming army destroyed Zhenhai Gate and poured into the city of Dengzhou.
The soldiers of the Dengzhou battalion of the green battalion took off their uniforms one after another, and the red cherry blossoms and white hats were thrown all over the ground. The stragglers flashed into the alleys of the city, and disappeared after turning around.
The two guest soldiers of Wendeng and Laizhou fled from the door, they were neither local soldiers, nor did they have the responsibility of defending the territory, and they went their separate ways after leaving the city.
Yang Yu hanged himself in Denglai Road, Li Jingguo in Denglai Mansion threw himself into the well, Penglai County self-immolated, Tongzhitong sentenced all to commit suicide, and none of the civil officials in the city surrendered, which can be called heroic.
Yuan Rugui made a last fight in the General Office, and set a fire on the verge of death, and his wife and children all died in the house.
Several of the guerrillas, garrisons, and thousands of the Dengzhou battalion surrendered.
The accent of the besieging Ming army made the Dengzhou Green Battalion feel cordial. Many people in the two armies knew each other, and more than ten years ago they were all in the same pot to eat. Many of the Dengzhou veterans in the Ming army grew up to become officers, and at this time they controlled the killing of their men.
The Ming army robbed the city for 2 days, Zhang Pengfei took control of it, did not slaughter the city, and robbed all the gold and silver girls in the city.
A few days later, the pacesetter banner of Jiaozhou Town drove to Mishen Mountain in the south of the city and camped on the back of the mountain.
Shandong Fubiao and Linqing towns then arrived, and the soldiers from the garrisons of each city also arrived one after another.
Shandong Governor Xia Yu sat in Jinan, and it was inconvenient for him to come to the front line to command the troops.
Jiaozhou is also a coastal defense city, and the general soldiers of Jiaozhou Town did not come to Haishi.
The commander of the green camp without Shandong brought a little trouble at this time, and Fan Yuan, the chief soldier of Linqing Town, took over the reinforcements from all walks of life with the governor's warrant.
Fan Yuan is a native of Liaodong and took refuge early.
Jiaozhou General Soldier Hai Shi Xing ancestor was the Wara Mongols, also the first general, the hereditary commander of the Ming Dynasty, the Tatars entered the customs and surrendered near Tianjin. Bigen foot, of course, is harder than Fan Gan, who surrendered earlier.
The deputy general of Jiaozhou was soft and reluctantly obeyed the command, but this temporary command system was not very efficient.
Zhang Pengfei set fire to the Dengzhou City Tower, withdrew to Shuicheng, and reduced the defensive front.
The Ming army hurriedly looted more than 10,000 stone grains and more than 20,000 catties of gunpowder in the capital city of Dengzhou, seized no less than 150,000 silver taels, silk and copper coins, and plundered 6,000 young men and women in Dengzhou and nearby Shuicheng.
At this time, they were all escorted to the water city and transferred to the fleet in batches.
The green camp of Linqing Town led the rear team of the Ming army into Dengzhou City, and raised the butcher's knife to the gentry of the city who looked west to look at the autumn water.
The battle was a complete accident, and the governor and the general army did not scrape together enough money to draw money. The masters of the green camp were too lazy to care about the Ming army who retreated to Shuicheng, and took advantage of the rare opportunity to make money and rob women.
Even if Fan Yuan had the intention to pursue, he was unable to control the looting and killing behavior of his subordinates at this time.
The Mizujo Ming army used sand boats and sampans to transfer the spoils of war, and the transportation operation lasted five days.
The Green Battalion occasionally came to scold the array.
Fools can see that the Ming army is going to withdraw. Under the persuasion of the town standard guerrillas, Fan Yuan did not let Linqing town mark it desperately.
Jiaozhou Town simply went out of the city to loot and sweep the villages around Dengzhou.
In the camp, the staff brushed and wrote the question book.
The thief army was the remnant of the retreat from Dengzhou that year. The Dengzhou Green Camp and the Dengzhou gentry colluded with the enemy, and there were many spies to lead the way for the thief army, which led to the rapid fall of the city.
There were thieves everywhere inside and outside Dengzhou City, the officers and soldiers fought all the way, after dozens of battles, before they recaptured Dengzhou City, the remnants of the thieves hurriedly boarded the ship and fled, and the officers and soldiers won a great victory.
Fan Yuan read it and reminded his staff to take this opportunity to report more casualties, write off the empty amount saved in previous years, and eat a death pension by the way, which is not beautiful.
The question book has been written, and it can't be sent out for the time being, and the Ming army hasn't withdrawn yet, so we have to wait.
The Green Battalion waited more amicably for the Ming army to remove all the things before entering the water city.
Fan Yuan stood on the Penglai Pavilion, looking at the sail shadow heading north, he knew that all this had just begun. For many years to come, he will have to deal with this Ming army.
Urgent military newspapers arrived in Beijing one after another.
Xia Yu, the governor of Shandong, played a trick, and the funeral question book started late, and the report book was sent out at the fastest speed.
When I finally arrived in Beijing, there was only a 5-day gap between the Dengzhou Lost Book and the Dengzhou Restoration Copy.
Emperor Shunzhi was furious, but Xia Yu's hand saved his life, Dengzhou lost the governor, Dengzhou recovered the governor meritorious, and the final result was that Xia Yu was demoted to 2 levels and retained.
Shunzhi ordered Ma Guanghui, the governor of Zhili, Henan, and Shandong stationed in the Daimyo Mansion, to supervise the troops.
Linqing town standard moved to Dengzhou, changed to Dengzhou town, with Fan Yuan as the general army of Dengzhou, commanding the coastal defense soldiers and horses.
The things that made Shunzhi even more angry were one after another.
Qing Denglai guarded Xu Dayong to Jiaozhou and urged the Jiaozhou General Army to send troops.
The whole army changed banners at sea time, and the town of Jiaozhou in the green camp cut the braids anyway and threw themselves into the camp of the Ming army. Hai Shi Xing killed Xu Dayong, Jiaozhou Acting Zhizhou, Laizhou Mansion Governor Li Huang, and Zhejiang Patrol Yu Shi Kuang Lanzhao and his family who went home to visit relatives on vacation.
The garrison of Ninghai Prefecture rebelled in the city of Qiyi and occupied the old base of the south of the city.
The Ming army landed in Lushun, annihilated the Flag Battalion Naval Division, and the warships swept all the way along the coastline of Jinzhou, Fuzhou, Gaizhou, and Haizhou on the Liaodong Peninsula, from Lushun to Niuzhuang, and 39 coastal flood control areas were all destroyed.
There are more than 1,000 Eight Banner Naval Divisions in Liaodong, except for the Lushun Naval Division, which is the navy, and the rest are inland water divisions. The town guarded Shengjing, Angbangzhangjing, and the third-class Asihani Ha Panye Keshu mobilized the Liaoshen garrison flag battalion to reinforce southern Liaoning, and reported to Beijing in an emergency.
One by one, pillars of wolf smoke rose into the sky.
Shandong and Liaodong are full of beacon fires.
At the head of Lushun City, Zhang Pengfei looked at the thousands of Eight Banner soldiers outside the city.
Four guards in southern Liaoning, Haifu Jingai, familiar place names, familiar coasts.
Ten years after the retreat of Dengzhou, Dongjiang Town returned.
Outside the city, the braided soldiers dressed in various colors of cotton armor and scale armor were very different from before.
