Chapter 15: Rivalry

In terms of momentum, the Yunxiao Mountain Rebels have been attacking the city in Ji'an for more than half a year, and the harassment of the Qing army by the Jiuxian Mountain Rebels is still limited to the countryside. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

In terms of strength, the Yunxiao Mountain Righteous Army has occupied the land of Ji'an, and the army is claimed to be 100,000, and according to intelligence, there must be 20,000 or 30,000 men; The Jiuxian Mountain Righteous Army only took over Yongfeng County, which was abandoned by the Ming Army in Zhejiang, and there were only more than 10,000 men, women, and children, some of whom had just rebelled.

In terms of threats, there is only one Qing army in Yuanzhou Prefecture in western Jiangxi, and there are only a few hundred people in other places, and the Yunxiao Mountain Righteous Army will inevitably pose a threat to other prefectures and counties after occupying Ji'an for a period of time; On the side of the Jiuxian Mountain Righteous Army, to the east and north is the territory of the Ming army in Zhejiang, to the west is the Guangxin Mansion and the fortress where the Qing army is heavily gathered, and to the south is the mountainous area and pass of Fujian, so there is no room for expansion at all.

No matter how you look at it, Ganxi should be the first stop for the Qing army to suppress the local anti-Qing rebels!

"Heng Jiu, there are some things that they still don't dare to say."

The civil official sitting opposite Hong Chengchou is called Huang Zhixuan, a person from Jinjiang County, Quanzhou Prefecture, Fujian, and is known as the first Hanlin in Quanzhou in the early Qing Dynasty.

He had just been transferred from the position of Huguang Zuobu's political envoy, which was the will of Hong Chengchou's special request, and he also took on the sin of appointing a private person for this. However, compared with others, Hong Chengchou still trusts this Huang Zhixuan more, because they are not only fellow villagers, but also in-laws, and they are far more trustworthy than others.

"That's true, they're taking care of my old man's face."

The location of the Jiuxian Mountain Righteous Army is between them and the Zhejiang Ming Army, it is said that although the two did not converge, but there are still some entanglements, if the encirclement and suppression of the Jiuxian Mountain Righteous Army recruited the Zhejiang Ming Army, it has to be a long-distance run with the goal of Guangxin Fucheng. The last time could be said to be a rare defeat for Hong Chengchou so far, who would dare to talk about it here.

"Fortunately, these people's knowledge is not bad, especially Hu Quancai and Zhang Daocheng, who live up to expectations."

"That's true."

Hu Quancai, a person from Shanxi Wenshui, has been in the military department during the Chongzhen period. After the surrender of the Qing Dynasty, he was first in the military department, and then in the northwest, he was promoted from Hanqiang Road in Shaanxi Province all the way to the governor of Ningxia. He defended the city, thwarted the rebellion of He Zhen, the general soldier of Hanzhong, quelled the Made rebellion, appeased a large number of generals, and formulated the "Locust Hunting Law" to benefit the locality. The word all-rounder, although it is still a little inferior, but the four words of capable and capable are no longer enough to describe. It can even be said that if it weren't for the mutual attack with the Hanqiang general soldier You Kewang, he would not have fallen to the current point.

As for Zhang Daocheng, he is the son of Zhang Quan, the former imperial history of Liaodong, and Chongzhen once prepared his own soldiers and horses in the sixteenth year of "Confucian clothes to join the army". The official reputation of Nankang Mansion is good, and among its people, he has some unique views on combat preparedness and construction, and Hong Chengchou is a person with outstanding ability, and it can still be seen whether he talks about it or not.

As Hong Chengchou said in the last "Southeast Suppression" Yishu, "There are many virtuous and virtuous, the people are persuaded to fight, and the defense is the battle; Simply draw out the generals, train the troops to win, and take the war as the defense", so that the talents can be used by the Manchu Qing Dynasty and enhance their own strength, so that the situation in the southeast can continue to be sustained, and the encirclement and suppression will be carried out until the day when the soldiers are full of food.

Talent is crucial, and Hong Chengchou had previously written a letter to Huang Zhixuan, asking him to help find some available talents to enrich the Nanchang shogunate. It's just that Fan Wencheng has been appointed as the Southwest Economic Strategy, and not long ago, he also cut off the green battalion of the Nanyi Kui Department of Hong Chengchou's favor and the Adhaha Fan Zhou Shizhong with a white flag, which made the internal competition between the Fan Changsha Shogunate and the Hong's Nanchang Shogunate before the Ming army in terms of talents.

In fact, compared to Fan Wencheng, Hong Chengchou is not like him who only serves as an official in Liaodong and the center, and all he knows and acquainted with is some of his officials, who were officials in many places in the Ming Dynasty, and also served as the governor of Jiangnan after the Qing Dynasty, and his connections are not comparable to Fan Wencheng. But he has been intercepted by Fan Wencheng twice, Hong Chengchou is not dissatisfied in his heart, it is impossible, and this time he forced Huang Zhixuan to break out.

Huang Zhixuan is not ignorant of these inside stories, but Hong Chengchou is his fellow villager and in-law, and it is impossible for Fan Wencheng, an outsider, to ruin his own relationship.

"Others may still say something, Chang Dewei's commander Zou Zhuoming is a person from Jishui, Jiangxi, who is strategic, good and righteous, and should be used by Hengjiu."

"The surname is Zou, or a native of Jishui, won't he be a child of the Zou family in Jishui Xiaodongmen, right?"

"Exactly, and it's the grandson of that Mr. Nangao."

Mr. Nangao refers to Zou Yuanbiao, one of the leaders of the Donglin Party at the beginning, and Zhao Nanxing and Gu Xiancheng as the three monarchs. The Donglin Party has great influence in the southeast, Zou Yuanbiao once impeached Zhang Juzheng for winning love, and also defeated the Wanli Emperor, and then lectured for 30 years, which was valued by the world. Now that Zou Yuanbiao has long since passed away, if Hong Chengchou can use Zou Zhuoming, it will inevitably cause an invisible weakening of the general anti-Qing sentiment among the gentry in Jiangxi.

"This son, I am bound to fight."

………………

"No, absolutely not this time!"

"Why can't it be?"

"I said, Brother Luo, your small army, the establishment of more than 100 people, how many people have you transferred from various departments, and you are still asking for people from our outpost, this is still endless."

The Luo brother in the officer's mouth is Luo Yongzhong, and half a month ago, Chen Wen appointed him as the captain of the special operations team and gave him the right to choose personnel. After more than half a month of careful selection, nearly 100 people were finally drawn, and there were still a few places left, and they were about to fall into the Nantang Battalion of his old army, who knew that it was resisted by some colleagues.

"I said Brother You, I know that everyone doesn't want the soldiers they brought out to be transferred, I haven't been back to our Nantang camp to be transferred, and now there are only a few places left, can't you give me any face? How can I say that I, Luo Yongzhong, also went out of Nantang Camp. ”

"Brother Luo, if it is on weekdays, this time the army is expanded, our Nantang battalion has sent a lot of people to supplement the newly built battalion head and the Lishui battalion that is full of recruits, and there are also people who ride mules from us, and even the cavalry battalion whose number has not yet been decided will also come to be able to ride horses, and even those who can ride mules and donkeys. We all know that our Nantang battalion can fight, but if the veterans are all transferred, there will be a group of recruits left, and reputation alone will be useless. ”

"Fuck you!"

Every time he went to other troops to transfer people, he was like begging his grandfather to tell his grandmother, this time he returned to the old army and the result was still like this, Luo Yongzhong held back his anger for a long time, but before he could say anything, he only heard a loud shout outside the door, and then a group of officers in the house hurriedly got up and saluted.

"Mr. Hou."

"Hou Zhenwei."

The one who took the lead and then strode in was Hou Guoyuan, the commander of the Nantang battalion. This time, Hou Guoyuan was promoted to the chief soldier of regimental training, and his military rank was also promoted to Captain Zhenwei, which was two ranks higher than the original Captain Zhiguo, and his title naturally began to change.

For the Einsatzgruppen, Hou Guoyuan knows far more than these officers. There are more than 100 people, but they are all warriors in the army, and they also have to train some tactics such as survival in the wild, street fighting, and sneaking raids. Horse fighting, shooting with bows and arrows, and hand-to-hand combat, almost all have to be trained, and even in Chen Wen's words, the hands and feet are tied, and the tartars must be slaughtered with headbutts and teeth.

Such a unit, unlike the regular army, is more like a dagger, which will never be easily revealed, but if it strikes, it will definitely attack the vital point, and it will be fatal with one blow!

"The difficulties of the Einsatzgruppen team are known." patted Luo Yongzhong on the shoulder, Hou Guoyuan then said: "But I want to talk about you, Luo Yongzhong, you don't look down on the soldiers of our Nantang battalion, don't you?" The other battalions ran all over the place, and in the end a few were left to come back to make up the numbers. Your grandmother's, let other battalions listen to it, and you can't laugh at Lao Tzu. I'll just ask you, when did our Nantang camp fall behind others, huh? ”

Hearing this, Luo Yongzhong, who was still full of anger, suddenly became a deflated ball, and all he had to do was explain his thoughts to his old boss. The other officers' faces also changed, they never thought that Hou Guoyuan would value this small unit so much, and even compared being able to be selected to be an honor for the whole battalion.

After Luo Yongzhong, Hou Guoyuan immediately aimed his firepower at the officer who had just spoken out to resist. "You Laosi, who told you that without the veteran Nantang Battalion, you are a fart, ah?"

"Humble, that."

"You ask Luo Yongzhong, when the Nantang battalion was in Dalan Mountain, which one was not a new recruit, and he didn't overthrow the standard battalion in the same way. According to what you said, can we still have our Zhejiang Wang Shi today? ”

"Zhenwei, that's not what I mean."

"Okay, Lao Tzu knows what you mean, aren't you just afraid of being compared to other battalions? Lao Tzu clearly tells you that as long as this Flying Tiger Flag is still there, Nantang Camp will never be left behind! (To be continued.) )
