Jiangning.

Pingnan General Le Kede proudly showed the military order to Hong Chengchou, a scholar of Jiangnan University.

Hong Chengchou only dared to sign half of his ass on the bench and take over the military order from Manchuria.

Hong Chengchou can partially dispatch the Green Battalion, but he has no right to act with Wen Taijun. Dolgon forbade Hong Chengchou to take advantage of military affairs, and he had to consult Luckedhun for everything.

The order from Peking, "Meler Ezhen Jumala and Hetuo, and each of them led 4 armoured soldiers and vests to guard Hangzhou; Jialaba Mountain and each leader led 3 armored soldiers to guard Jiangning. The rest of the armor soldiers, led by the Pingnan general Le Ke Dehun, and the red flag Gushan Ezhen Ye Chen, the official Shangshu Gong Adai reinforced Jingzhou. ”

2,000 armor soldiers were left in Jiangning and 3,500 armor soldiers were left in Hangzhou to suppress the southeast. The main force of Luck Dehun was nearly 10,000, and the Jiangning Green Battalion and Red Artillery were dispatched to reinforce Jingzhou upstream. Jingzhou is being besieged by He Tengjiao and Li Guo, and the military situation is urgent.

This military order shows why Jianyu was only a strong army at this time.

Dorgon's order meant that Luckedhun would set out from Beijing in July, advance to Hangzhou in September, secretly withdraw to Nanjing in December, and then move west to Jingzhou along the Yangtze River. In half a year, he hit half of China. The advance was very hidden, whether it was the Zhejiang front line or the Jingzhou front, and there was no knowledge of the fact that Luck Dehun disappeared on the front line and resumed maneuvering.

Hong Chengchou stood up tremblingly, "Lord Belle, if you leave, there will be too few soldiers in the inner court in Jiangnan." Zhang Dayou's department of the Jiangning City Defense Green Battalion, but 4,000 soldiers in the 5th battalion, all of which were left by Admiral Cao Cunxing. The southern soldiers were fragile, there were no horses, armor and bows and arrows were scarce, and the only ones they relied on were 2,000 Manchurian officers and soldiers under the command of Bashan. The slave was responsible for the important task of recruiting and appeasing Jiangnan, and he did not dare to slack off at all, lest the army would not be enough and spoil the major affairs of the imperial court. ”

Seeing that Hong Chengchou had spared a big circle, Luck De still wanted to return to the military power, and said with a smile: "Old Hong, if you want the right to dispatch Manchurian soldiers, you have to tell the regent, it's useless to tell me." ”

Hong Chengchou said: "The slave will give the regent a lesson, but from Jiangnan to the capital, it will be a fast horse post, and it will take half a month." In the month of going back and forth, the military situation on the front line is not in a hurry. ”

What Hong Chengchou said did make sense, and Luck Dehun thought for a while and said, "Old Hong, hurry up, I will say hello to Bashan here, and you can discuss with him if you want to move troops." ”

Hong Chengchou achieved his goal, but his face did not show joy, "The servant thanked the general." ”

Lucketthun was in a good mood and wanted to have two glasses, so he asked, "Do you have a lot of wine?" ”

Hong Chengchou: "Please rest assured that the general has prepared ten altars, please drink them on the way." ”

Lucked Hun was greatly satisfied.

……

Jianyu's troops are somewhat insufficient.

Dolgon once thought that Jiangnan could be passed on. If there is no shaving order, it does.

But now, the idea of tourism receiving the legacy of the Ming Dynasty has come to naught. In July, Dorgon ordered Dodor to return to Beijing, but Dorgon could not leave at that time.

In August, Hong Chengchou arrived in Nanjing, which was immediately renamed Jiangning, and Nanzhili was changed to Jiangnan Province. Because of the Jiangnan Uprising caused by the shaving order, Duoduo stayed in Nanzhili until September.

In the Jiangnan region, Duoduo left one member of each banner of Manchuria, one member of each Jiala Protector Military Academy, two members of each Niu Lu Bayala Guard, and one member of each Jiala Zhangjing of the Xiaocai Battalion, leaving only officials and no soldiers. The Han army has one member of each wing of Melle Zhangjing, one member of each banner Zhangjing, one member of each Jiala Xiao Cavalry School, five horsemen per Niulu, and other armies such as Yibel Leke Dehun. The red-coated artillery remained in Nanjing, and the gunners and cotton armor soldiers were all withdrawn.

The Eight Banners garrisoned in Hangzhou once numbered only a few hundred, and they all relied on Zhang Cunhe and Tian Xiong's more than 10,000 green battalions to resist the counterattack of Lu Jianguo. Until the reinforcement of the new Southern Expeditionary Army of Luck Dehun arrived at the front line in Hangzhou.

This part of the new Southern Expeditionary Army was mainly drawn from the Bayala and A soldiers who stayed behind in each banner, and the number was insufficient, and some of the Azig men and horses of the early squad division were also transferred.

For Jianlu, the resistance of both the Ming army and the rebel army was weak, and the climate and epidemic disease were the biggest enemies. It's okay to fight the war for the time being, but the ability to sustain mobilization is starting to go wrong.

China is so big that the soldiers rarely have the opportunity to rest and recuperate for a long time, and they often have to go out for a short time. Dolgon's orders were even detailed to the point that each leader sent a Bayala escort to the campaign. The expedition was very hard, and now that Jianyu has Beijing, the willingness of the Eight Banners to go out and rob is gradually decreasing.

With insufficient troops, Dorgon can only play with the existing soldiers. Luckedhun defeated Lujianguo in Hangzhou in a row, and the Qiantang River front was stabilized.

Luckedhun's departure from Jiangnan is actually more beneficial to Hong Chengchou, and the remaining Eight Banners Taijun in Jiangnan is the largest, and it is difficult to form a practical constraint on recruiting scholars.

With Hong Chengchou's status, he is actually the second Hanchen in the Jianyu Dynasty, second only to Feng Quan, the chief scholar of the Inner Court. But in the face of the Manchurian and Mongolian relatives and nobles who came and went to Nanjing, Scholar Hong served carefully, behaving like an inferior slave. Hong Chengchou spent no less energy on receiving Beijing's magnates than on the military and government.

The magnates of the imperial capital were very satisfied with Hong Chengchou's carefulness, and let the Hanchen of the whole country learn from Hong Chengchou's work style. There was a Han governor in Zhili who did not do a good job in the reception, and was sprayed by the magnates according to Hong Chengchou's standards, and the first person in the Han Chen feudal territory couldn't stand the insult and hanged twice, and died the second time. The captive chieftain Shunzhi should have died as a dog.

Of course, Hong Chengchou's identity is indeed a minion.

Unlike in the play, Huang Taiji and Dolgon, who are not eloquent, are actually not interested in Hong Chengchou. After Hong Chengchou surrendered, he was compiled into the Yellow Banner Cloth Niulu, a slave who was physically attached to the Manchurian relatives and nobles.

According to the Eight Banners system, the Bao Yi Zuo Collar is located in Manchuria, Mongolia, the Han Army and the Bao Yi Banner Collar in turn, Hong Chengchou is the person under the Bao Yi Guan Ling, commonly known as the Xin Zhiku slave, only one grade higher than the slave.

With Jianyu's strict personal control system, Hong Chengchou is a slave of Xinzheku, and his daughter is not even qualified to marry a subordinate who is only a high-grade and a clothier. Leaders of the household, such as Cao Xueqin's family, women are not qualified to marry the Eight Banners as a wife.

What's more, Hong Chengchou is the lowest-ranking of the Xinzhiku minions under the leadership of the Eight Banners. A large part of the source of the coat and collar is the Liaodong Han people who were attached to the old slaves. By now, they have all become entrenched old minions, and some can even be above their masters. Hong Chengchou was in the midst of these old minions, and he was bullied very badly.

Whether it was the Guan Ning Army back then, or the later Southern Ming general, he pulled a military general out casually, and his status in the banner was higher than that of Hong Chengchou. With this treatment, it would be nonsense to say that Huang Taiji and Dolgon took a fancy to Hong Chengchou's ability and thus reused him.

Hong Chengchou can spell it out among the minions, and the source relies on wine. Hong Chengchou's brewing is a must, and home brewing is extremely famous in Beijing.

There are many people who are addicted to alcohol, led by the auxiliary prince Zierharang, and a bunch of drunkards with blue flags and red flags.

Zierharang often took a group of Manchurian relatives and nobles to drink at Hong Chengchou's house at night and stayed up all night. Hong Chengchou's ability to entertain is stronger than his ability to fight, and he is careful to serve him everywhere, and the Manmeng relatives who love to drink are extremely satisfied with him. Hong Chengchou even relied on wine to transcend the party struggle between Dolgon and the kings of the Huang Taiji system.

Dolgon actually disliked Hong Chengchou, he lost to Hong Chengchou in the Battle of Songjin, and Murgen Daiqing was sprayed by Huang Taiji because of this battle, and the prince was cut off. Let this villain who must be revenge hold a grudge. And Prince Zheng Jierharang has a relatively simple temperament, although he has also lost to Hong Chengchou, but this auxiliary uncle Prince is more identified with capable people, and has become the biggest help for Hong Chengchou's comeback.

……

At the same time, Luck Dehun returned to Sijiao Mountain in an orderly manner.

A few days later, Admiral Allem of the Taiwan Detachment led four warships, the Melville, the Tamsui, the Storm, and the Zhenjiang, as well as 140 seagoing ships with the best performance in Taipei.

"Sixteen boats were lost on the way, and despite our best efforts to save people, hundreds of people are missing." Allemand hung up his coat and his face was not very good.

"Good work." Orderliness is only a slight pity. After returning from Korea, the Taipei Squadron spent two months preparing and resting to bring together this wave of reinforcements. Time was short, the north wind was fierce, and great losses were inevitable.

"I will also report to you," said Allemand, "that there are now more than 340 junk ships in Taipei, and in order to put together this reinforcement fleet as soon as possible, we have used the method of demolishing the east wall and making up the west wall in the rearmament. ”

"You guys broke the ship?" Orderly's eyebrows raised.

"More than 70 ships have been dismantled, and if there are enough ship materials for repair, they can be restored to use next year."

Order: "What about the rest of the ships?" ”

"On the 6th of last month, the weather was better. The Shen family took more than 20,000 people to Hualien, and his fleet of more than 110 ships was a hodgepodge of disorganized ships. I've heard that they plan to tear down most of the ships and build wooden houses for the immigrants. ”

Tents are not a long-term solution, brick houses are too slow, and if you want to build a house quickly, you have to use wooden houses first. The temporarily chopped wet wood can't build a house, so Shen Tingyang asked the clansmen to dismantle the boat, which is understandable, people always come first. As the saying goes, there are 3,000 nails for a rotten ship, and even the purchased nails are saved for shipbreaking. Iron nails are not currently produced in Taiwan.

"Many of Shen Tingyang's ships are nearing the end of their service life, right?" Shou Xuan suddenly remembered a question.

"Yes, that's why they chose to dismantle the ship."

Most of Shen's fleet was originally designed for use on offshore and north-sea routes, and the load was heavy in the deep sea. A considerable part of his ships approached the service life of the junk.

The service life of the junk ship is very low, and the warship of the Sharp-bottomed Fu type will be overhauled in 5 years in peacetime, and it will be dismantled and rebuilt in 10 years.

There are not many warships, and merchant ships are frequently used, and generally low-cost merchant ships with 5 years of age are better than overhaul and dismantled directly. Shen Tingyang had no choice but to do this, losing the Nanzhili and Beiyang routes, it was impossible for the Shen family to maintain a large fleet of 300 ships.

Orderly: "It's a solution, let's go back and dismantle some ships that are difficult to continue using." ”

To some extent, the order is now facing the same situation as Nanming, and the number of ships in the fleet is unsustainable. The existing merchant fleet is dependent on the mainland's production capacity, which will soon shrink. To maintain the size of the merchant fleet, expanding the capacity of its own shipyards will be the only option.

A week later, the weather was clear and the wind was moderate.

Shou Xuan and Huang Binqing unloaded 2 galleries, leaving 1 galleries to Shen Tingyang on Daishan Island.

280 junk ships carrying 58,000 people set sail south. Daishan Island, Daqu Mountain, and Sijiao Mountain were left with only the Ming army, their families, and a small number of soldiers and civilians who were determined to resist in Zhoushan, and nearly 10,000 people.

The voyage of more than 300 nautical miles will arrive in 3 days downwind. Migrants were unloaded at the Tamsui estuary, Keelung Port, and Beiao Port at the same time. This part of the migrants unloaded in Keelung will enter the Taipei Plain through the river valley road between Keelung and Taipei.
