Chapter 295: Huang Qiusheng's troubles

Mobile reading

It is indeed embarrassing to say, Dongfang Port has been fighting since the beginning of its establishment, at first it was fighting with the pirates of Zhong Bin's group at sea, and after winning, it fought with the encirclement and suppression of Xiang Yong and An Yun's local army. Then they encountered the southern barbarians and the northern invaders, tens of thousands of barbarian soldiers rushed north to the port of Zhancheng, all of which relied on the non-stop attack of the special reconnaissance team to slow down the enemy's pace, and then the army and marines assisted in the defense of the port of Zhancheng, which completely shattered the arrogance of the southern barbarians, so that they did not cross the sea to attack Annam again in the following years. On the eve of the fierce battle between Champa and the Nanban, the navy and garrison troops fought a fierce battle with the six capital ships of the Medeno Eastern Fleet, which attacked by night, and finally captured two ships and sank and damaged four. During the short-term peace and morale, all branches of the armed forces also coordinated to carry out a large-scale crackdown on bandits in the Anyun area, and under the aerial reconnaissance and command of the aircraft, the bandits of Anyun were beaten to the ground. Only the Battle of Glorious Ridge attempted to besiege a platoon of the army with a superior force of several thousand men was a serious counterattack, but it was defeated by this platoon, which completely guaranteed An Yun's safety. In this battle, the Foreign Legion and the Army worked together to defeat several times their own huge army from the front, and completely dispersed it, causing Annam to lose the last strength that could resist North Annam, leading North Annam to take the opportunity to go south and catch the Medno people off guard, and this time the Chinese army really breathed a sigh of relief.

Not long ago, Shabak in the port of Champa was discovered that the officers and quartermasters worked together to forge gun scrap orders and smuggle weapons to the intelligence officers of the Maidno people. The officers, who determined that the incident had been exposed, did not stop doing anything, and directly launched a rebellion known as the "Shabak Rebellion", and directly instigated two companies of the Foreign Legion stationed in Shabak to rebel. The consequences of this rebellion can be said to be catastrophic, the commander-in-chief of the legion, Qian Longzhou, was shot several times in the process of rescuing Li Yuan, and was once captured, and the counterinsurgency and rebel units of the Foreign Legion attacked and defended in Shabak all night, and only recaptured the arsenal at dawn. Ma Xiang of the special investigation team led the newly formed detachment to come to the rescue, although it successfully rescued Qian Longzhou and many wounded, but many soldiers in the detachment were killed, and several automatic rifles and machine guns were lost while failing to destroy the rebels, which brought heavy losses to the secrecy work of the Senate.

In order to pursue these lost automatic rifles and machine guns, the navy attacked to hold the main waterway to Yaning, trying to recover these lost weapons, but unexpectedly, the Meidenor people had already premeditated, and surrounded the Chinese naval fleet with many capital ships at night, which had little experience in maritime combat, and then took advantage of the morning fog to launch an attack. However, to the surprise of both sides, the Chinese navy's ship-borne weapons are completely different from those imagined by the Medeno people, and the power is far greater than their imagination, and there is even an embarrassing scene of a Chinese destroyer chasing several Medeno capital ships on the battlefield, and the Chinese rely on the sharpness of their weapons to pull back a game, otherwise this battle will definitely end in failure.

In so many battles, although a few can be regarded as serious battles, most of them were small-scale battles, and the Shabak Rebellion was a systematic battle between the Senate Foreign Legion and the similarly trained Legion rebels, and the fighting was not only heavy casualties, but also very humiliating. Since the Shabak Rebellion, the morale of the armed forces of the entire Senate, especially the Foreign Legion of Shabak, has been very low, and the heart has begun to be full of doubts about whether it can win a battle.

Now Ren Xuefeng suddenly mentioned that the Wu Dynasty in the north was engaged in a large-scale counterinsurgency battle, which made several chiefs of staff present see a glimmer of hope. That's right, now Dongfang Port is in a very stable period of peace, but it does not mean that there is peace outside Dongfang Port, especially in the Wu Dynasty at this time, there is now Dongfang Port in the south, and there is not much threat for the time being, but Central China is not such a good situation. In central China, Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Henan have failed to harvest grain, resulting in a huge number of victims, and the feudal bureaucracy and government have been slow to respond, and officials who are willing to save the people have not been ordered by the top level to dare not open warehouses for grain relief, and the big households that do not care about the lives of the people have to be mobilized repeatedly by officials to squeeze out a little grain to symbolically give some porridge, and even more are indifferent to what they say; as for those magistrates who do not care about the people at all, they directly close the city gates, and let the people fleeing the famine be starving and corpses all over the land outside the city.

Such a time is the time for all kinds of careerists to rise, and for a while, all kinds of careerists appeared on the stage, and they all started under the banner of robbing the rich and helping the poor, and occupied the mountain as the king. As soon as the incident started, their minds immediately came alive, and these so-called peasant rebels were in tandem in all directions, snowballing bigger and bigger, and then advancing to the nearby states and counties until they were able to attack the city. After they conquered the city, they had only one purpose, which was to eat up the local food and rob all the local wealth, sweep away the entire local population, and then march towards the next city, like swarms of locusts sweeping through one city after another, although it seems that the power is getting bigger and bigger, but in fact they are becoming more and more bloated and lifeless, leaving only corruption and death. Such a rebellion, whether it is Huang Chao, Li Zicheng or the later Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, is completely consistent, without the slightest change, because the feudal government's response is slow, and the speed of news transmission can only rely on people to send letters, such things have often developed in full swing when reported to the imperial court, and then when the situation is too great to be easily extinguished, the feudal government can only take the method of recruiting peace or mobilizing the whole country to suppress this large-scale rebellion.

According to the information obtained in the Di newspaper, these rebels have basically swept through Shaanxi at this moment, some of them marched to Gansu and other places, and most of them took advantage of the freezing of the Yellow River under the command of a man named Monk Wang to cross the river and march east along the Yellow River. Xiangling, Taiping and other places have begun to be attacked by the rebels, but in Taiping the rebels have been blocked by a guest army, according to the report of Xiangling and other places, this team of Wang monks is gathering towards Taiping, it is estimated that they plan to go all out to completely eliminate this official army that dares to resist head-on.

"Alas......" Huang Qiusheng couldn't help but sigh, put down the letter in his hand, picked up a newspaper and handed it to the following officials to circulate.

In fact, these officials had already read the contents of the Di Bao, and although there were not many of them, they could be copied directly, so as soon as they arrived in Beihai, these officials got the manuscript of the latest issue of the Di Bao. The above content is actually nothing more than those things: Liaodong was broken again, and more than 100,000 were headed; Shandong exterminated the Wenxiang Sect or other sects, and captured tens of thousands of followers; In the end, it was about a riot in Zhao'an, Shaanxi, and there were tens of thousands. In fact, there is nothing to see about this kind of content, most of them are good news and not bad news, whether it is the previous dynasty or the Wu dynasty, it is all the same, and the officials cover the sky with one hand to confuse the public. You must know that in the history of the old world, Chongzhen was like this when he was the emperor, every day he watched the great victory and good news, and then suddenly one day the chaotic army had already hit outside Beijing; Chang Kaishen is even more so, he won all the way in the War of Liberation, destroying more than 100 million Turkish communists, but in the end he had to transfer to Taiwan and die in a foreign land.

The officials circulated this newspaper in their hands, and after a few quick glances, they passed it on to the next one, and it didn't take long for the newspaper to be passed to Huang Qiusheng. Huang Qiusheng naturally knew that everyone had already seen it, so he didn't sell it, and said directly, "Today I received a document from the imperial court, asking us to prepare an army to prepare to go to Shanxi, and dispatch it under the command of the Shanxi battalion, to pacify the Shaanxi bandits who are entering Shanxi, what do you think?" ”

Sun is not far away from the enemy's ball battle

After the hatred is not a ghost knot school cold war star

"Of course, this matter is at the disposal of the imperial court, and we are naturally at the behest of the adults." An old man with a goatee hurriedly stood up to make a statement, and his statement attracted the approval of almost everyone present, who stood up and said, "I would like to listen to your lordship's instructions in this matter." ”

Huang Qiusheng hated to scold his mother, although the following bureaucrats seemed to be extremely obedient, but in fact, they were twisting and turning, don't look at them now they are all looking forward to themselves, but when they are asked to contribute money and efforts, they are all shirking, and in the end they are still unlucky.

The feud is not far away, and the queen of independence hates to take Yang Mo Kaotai

"Then Lord Zhou, the master of money and grain, you go and prepare five thousand taels of silver first, General Liu Chuanzhi Liu ......" Huang Qiusheng couldn't care so much, and directly began to issue orders, but he only named the name of the second person, and the old man with a goatee Zhou who was the first to express his position stood up, "My lord, five thousand taels of silver is inevitably too much, I'm afraid I can't make it up in the next place!" ”

"Yes, sir! In recent years, the livelihood of my Beihai people has withered, especially after the construction of Dongfang Port on the side of Anyun, the people in the city have turned into thieves and do not want to stay in my Beihai City to serve, which is really hateful! "That's right! Now there are not even a few short-term workers in Beihai City, and all of them are general, they must settle the bill every day, and they must have food and shelter, otherwise they will not work, and there is no place to recruit long-term workers, as long as they have not tenanted the land, they have run away, even if they have tenants who have rented land, they are also ready to move, and they all want to run to the thief to work! "That's right, my lord, this year, we haven't collected all the grain in the entire Annan Province, and there are still more than 32,000 stones left to collect, so even we can't send out the money we are waiting for, let alone gather the five thousand taels of silver."

Huang Qiusheng's mind was suddenly chaotic, and he even forgot the words he had just thought of, he stood up suddenly, paused, and sat down again. Since ancient times, there has been a cloud in the art of war, the soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, there is no money and food, not to mention the army from this Annan through the state to Shanxi to participate in the counterinsurgency, even this Annan Province is afraid that it will not be able to get out! The military household system of the Wu Dynasty was already in name only by this time, and the officers regarded the soldiers as their personal slaves, and the monthly military salary could not be paid at all, and they were directly embezzled by the officers, and they were only paid for two months throughout the year, not to mention that they were less than the long-term workers, and they were exploited by hundreds of households, and they might even be punished for some trivial matters. Therefore, when they want to fight, they will have disobedience and disrespect, so in the Wu Dynasty, whenever they want to fight, they will often pay half a year's military salary at one time, so that the soldiers can squander it and increase morale. But now, what Huang Qiusheng has to face is that there is no money, without money, he can't let the soldiers fight with their lives, he has no money to buy grain along the way to ensure the supply of grain and grass, and he can't expect to pay the bounty for cutting off the enemy's head, as the saying goes, it's hard to kill Zhao Kuangyin for a penny, but now what is missing is five thousand taels of silver.

"You can calculate how much money you can make up for that week, and we will have to figure out how little we can do." Huang Qiusheng's mind was full of silver now, and he hurriedly asked first, only to see that the old man pretended to close his eyes and said a few words, and then opened his eyes and reported with a respectful posture, "My lord, the villain can only make up about three hundred taels of silver here." ”

The ship is not hateful, and the ball is too hateful

Not to mention Huang Qiusheng now, even Liu Chuanzhi, who was sitting at the bottom, almost laughed out loud. Liu Chuanzhi, as the commander of Annan, should be controlled by Huang Qiusheng, and this time he discussed the issue of the imperial court's troop transfer, so naturally he had to be present to obey orders. As a military attachΓ©, although his grade is one level higher than Huang Qiusheng, he was arranged to sit in the lower position because of the imperial court's habit of suppressing military force with literature, and he had no place to reason, so he could only sit there honestly and wait for the dispatch.

Since the last time the northbound detachment was in Beihai because of Huang Qiusheng's disturbance, he and Cen Min failed to get much oil and water, they were full of disgust for this governor of Annan. Now that I can sit here and see him deflated, I am naturally very happy, although my face is expressionless, but I have long been happy in my heart and can't run outside to hang firecrackers.

Huang Qiusheng naturally knew that people like his subordinates didn't want to contribute money and didn't want to contribute, but the imperial court had already ordered it, so he had to carry it out, so he didn't know what to do at the moment, just when everyone felt that there should be nothing to do today, a voice sounded from the corner, "My lord, why don't you borrow troops from Dongfang Port?" ”
