Chapter 92: Qualitative Change (1)

The civil and military forces of the Nanchang Shogunate, which was captured by the Ming army in this siege battle, basically occupied the vast majority of the entire Nanchang Shogunate, and the rest either escaped from the city, or were originally still in some places such as Raozhou Mansion and Guangxin Mansion in the west.

At the same time, after identification, the number of Green Battalion soldiers sentenced to death was also 5,000, which was close to half of the soldiers captured in this battle. The rest does not mean that he did not ravage the people in those days, but the time is urgent, lest it cause civil unrest, Chen Wen has not had time to carry out a more detailed investigation, so he has to carry out it little by little, and strive not to let a murderer escape punishment.

However, such a large-scale punishment of murderers, especially those high-ranking officials and generals, Chen Wen originally had some different voices in the scene. Most of them were afraid that in the future, especially the defenders of the fortress who refused to surrender in front of them, they would resist to the death, but Chen Wen's will was like this, and these Manchu officials and colonels were all criminals, and the final execution began as scheduled.

Outside the east gate of Guangxin Mansion City, just a few days ago, the people in the city were forced to listen to their wives and daughters being molested by the Green Camp soldiers, but at the same time, they had to strengthen the fortifications for them under the pressure of knives and guns.

Hong Chengchou's illness couldn't last long, and the original finale had to be staged first. For this old traitor, Chen Wen was too lazy to talk to him about anything salty and light, and he didn't step on rotten shit when he put on good shoes, so after the military judge read out the crime, the master specially invited from Jinhua Mansion, the "human body structure expert" who was in charge of Ling Chi Ma Jinbao back then, started his slicing course.

Hong Chengchou's Manchu Yipin official court clothes have long been stripped off and thrown aside, but this skinny old traitor does make it a little difficult for Mr. Expert to start.

According to the usual practice, Ling Chi's number of knives is not enough, and the tortured person is already dead, and the executioner of the execution is to sit together, fortunately, Chen Wen also knows that Hong Chengchou has now done his best for my physical condition, and he probably can't hold on. So, death is death, it doesn't matter, as long as you cut enough knives. As for whether it turned into a broken corpse from Ling Chi to the back, it didn't matter anymore, what he wanted was such a form.

The first knife went down, although it was slapped as usual, but it didn't even shed a drop of blood, and it really stunned the old master. Especially after the knife, Hong Chengchou didn't even react at all, and even the apprentice who was next to the expert couldn't help but praise the tough guy in his heart.

But if you look closely, it turns out that you have fainted. It's just that I don't know if I fainted before the knife or after the knife, but I didn't know if I was stunned when the clothes were stripped off and the little cool breeze blew on the execution ground.

Who knows.

The execution of Ling Chi on the stage has already begun, and the beheading on the other side is also being carried out at the same time. In contrast, there are very few people who come to see the human body structure courses on Hong Chengchou's side, most of them are the civil and military forces of the Ming army, and some figures in the system. On the side of the execution of those evil green battalion soldiers, there were a lot of people, and almost all the people in the city came out to participate in this visual feast.

"The people of Guangxin Mansion really don't have the spirit of learning."

The culprit was punished, Chen Wen's mood was also much soothed, and the ridicule naturally increased, but some things were not related to ridicule at all.

"Hong Chengchou's Ling Chi is over, starting from the next one, let those military doctors go to the stage to observe nearby. Such a rare opportunity is given to them, and if they don't understand what the muscles under the skin look like, how can the follow-up anatomical research be carried out? ”

The execution began in the afternoon of the first day and lasted for three days. The miserable howls outside the city continued day and night, but the people inside and outside the city were full of awe and enjoyed the pleasure of revenge while getting along with the Ming army in the city.

Three days later, the execution was settled, except for Hong Chengchou who hung up without even surviving the first day, there was also a civil official who was scared to death, and he was generally passable.

After the execution outside the city, the military doctors learned a lot of knowledge that was difficult to learn on a daily basis after vomiting again and again. As for Hong Chengchou, Chen Wen has a series of other plans. For example, the kneeling statue is not only in front of the loyal shrine that is being built in this Guangxin Mansion to worship the victim woman, but also in some other places. In addition, such as the critical offensive of "Zhejiang Di Bao", as well as the drama of writing the script to write the evil of Hong Chengchou and the execution of the Ming army are naturally indispensable.

Chen Wen even pondered for a time that just a Hong Chengchou, the stonemasons and literati in the Ming army-occupied areas were likely to earn far better income than usual in the future. Moreover, this is still in the case that its commercial value has not been thoroughly explored, for example, fried fritters can be called fried juniper, and the silver silk tofu soup that pays attention to the ultimate knife skill can also be called silver silk Chengchou soup, just thinking about it makes me lose my appetite.

As for the heads of those green battalion soldiers, Chen Wen asked people to build a Jingguan outside the city, and engraved the crimes committed by these beasts on a stone tablet, and erected a newly built pavilion near the Jingguan, so that future generations could record this history, and by the way, give other green battalion soldiers a better memory.

Of course, these murderers were killed, not only to punish the crimes, but also to uphold justice for the local people, but the sequelae also appeared as expected - the Qing army's will to fight in the fortress suddenly rose, and the soldiers surrendered without a fight, and the surrender of the city showed that it was impossible for the time being.

"In this way, now there are four major positions of Li Benshen, Liu Guangbi, Bu Shilong and Hu Quancai, and Hong Chengchou's main civil and military officials in the Nanchang Shogunate of Guangxin Mansion are in place?"

"Exactly."

"Is there any news from Li Benshen and Hu Quan?"

"Not yet."

"Well, let's start with Liu Guangbi and Bu Shilong, Lao Tzu just has a lot of accounts to settle with Liu Guangbi."

The art of war: ten are encircled, five are attacked, and the enemy can be divided, less can escape, and if not, it can be avoided. Therefore, the small enemy is strong, and the big enemy is also captured.

Sun Wuzi's words refer to the general situation, how much advantage there is to do how big things, and what he wants is to be safe.

Chen Wen's army had already set out, and there were less than 10,000 soldiers left in his hands - three battalions were stationed in three directions to block the route of the Qing army's large-scale escape, 1,000 soldiers guarded the city, and the other 1,000 men had to take half of it to replenish the battalions in order to make it safe, and the remaining half would be used to sweep several counties near the city of Guangxinfu. For example, Xing'an, Lead Mountain, and Yongfeng, which was captured by the Qing army not long ago, will soon stage a drama of the city's changing king's flag.

As for the Qing army he needs to face, it is not just the 3,000 green battalion and the fortress in Guangxin Mansion. In the process of the capture of the city, a large number of Qing troops fled into the fortress, which enhanced the strength and defense ability of the fortress, but also further aggravated the shortage of grain and grass.

However, Chen Wen does not intend to consume it like this, the military technology of the fortress is the first thing he took out on the Chinese battlefield, and he is also planning to end the myth that this military technology is invincible in terms of defense.

Chen Wen called this fate!

In order to prevent the Qing army from escaping by taking advantage of the weak strength of the Ming army, Chen Wen had handed over most of the auxiliary soldiers in those captives to Zhao Qian in the past few days, and his first task was to build a long siege, so as to completely surround the Qing army in the fortress.

Changwei can start from the city wall of Fucheng, so that the amount of construction can be reasonably reduced, but the construction of Changwei is still in progress, and the follow-up work also needs him to prepare, especially some treasures have to be transported from Jinhua, so the siege is not in a hurry.

At this moment, Hong Chengchou's line has already changed its signboard and has become Chen Wen's line. Throwing Hong Chengchou's Taishi chair out, Chen Wen sat on the chair and was listening to the reports summarized by various departments.

Yushan won a great victory, defeating 20,000 Qing soldiers in the first battle, beheading more than 3,000, but capturing 40,000. The vast majority of them were forcibly recruited auxiliaries, but the captured Qing soldiers also numbered nearly 6,000. On the other hand, the Ming army itself also suffered thousands of casualties.

As high as 10 percent of the casualty rate, the Ming army not only did not collapse, but became more and more courageous the more they fought, and even Chen Wen once thought that if there were no grenadiers at that time, just by virtue of the ability of this army with an increasingly modern degree to bear casualties, perhaps the Qing army could be consumed to collapse.

Of course, as a manager, he must not only ensure victory, but also try to minimize his own casualties. As for how the army should be changed in the next step so that it can better adapt to the future battlefield, he already has a rough outline in his mind, but it still needs more time to unfold.

Compared with the previous battle, this siege war seems a little unreasonable in terms of the data of the exchange ratio. Capture a fortified city guarded by more than 20,000 elite Qing soldiers, and completely attack the city. As a result, nearly 3,000 were beheaded, more than 10,000 soldiers were captured, and the final Ming army's casualty figure turned out to be only 219. And this is the result of counting the lightly wounded together, otherwise if you count the casualties alone, you won't even break the number of one hundred.

Behind this unbelievably exaggerated figure were the corpses of the captured soldiers and auxiliaries who were driven by the Ming army to storm the city. More importantly, the Ming army has reached absolute crushing in terms of weaponry and combat morale, and the casualties of the Qing army in two days together are not as good as the collapse of that field battle, all of which are the same.

In addition, the sum of the captured figures in the two battles before and after really startled Chen Wen.

The treasury, the barracks, and even all over the city, all in all, the silver in one million taels and the grain in one million stones looked like it had been hollowed out of the supplies of Jiangxi Province to raise this army.

However, according to the account books in the Jinglu Yamen, the vast majority of this money and grain were transported from Jiangnan, and the Manchu Qing government in Jiangxi was still in Tuntian, and Chen Wen really had to admire Hong Chengchou's foresight -- this dog traitor had thought of the economic pressure after defeating the Ming army in Zhejiang, and he was really not an ordinary bureaucrat.

"As a rule, the seized money and grain continue to be stored in the storehouse and used with it. The same was true of the other seizures, which kept the quartermasters on their toes. ”

"The subordinate obeys."

In the past few days, there has been a lot of official business to deal with, and it can be expected that the follow-up work will only be busier, and it will never be easier than now.

Jiangxi is known as "Wu Tou Chu Tail, Guangdong Hu Min Ting", and geographically it is bordered by five provinces: Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, and Huguang. Most of Zhejiang is in the hands of Chen Wen, but several other provinces are still in the hands of the Manchus, if Jiangxi is occupied by him, then the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in the hands of the Manchus will be cut off by him, and the Qing troops in Guangdong and Fujian are about to face the embarrassment of lack of food, and it is very likely that there will be a vicious battle to stabilize this occupied area.

In addition, Jiangxi Province, starting from Jiujiang Prefecture in the northernmost part to Ganzhou Prefecture in the southernmost part, has a total of 13 prefectures and a land area of more than 160,000 square kilometers. Chen Wen's current occupation area in Zhejiang is only eight prefectures and 80,000 square kilometers.

Although a large number of officials have been trained in the civil official training class and the martial arts academy, more efforts are needed to change from "one" to "three" and to completely transform the extra "two" into a stable basic plate.

Fortunately, the difficulties are so difficult, but they are completely unable to cope with the rise in the cracks of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in recent years. Moreover, Chen Wen himself also has a temperament that is unwilling to give up, otherwise it would not be possible to develop step by step in Zhejiang, a province with a strong Qing army.

The vanguard army led by a few henchmen and generals has already set out, taking advantage of the gap between the Manchu forces in several places around them that have not yet reacted, and only by taking Jiangxi Province will they have a chance to slowly integrate. In addition, as early as the night of the victory in Yushan, Chen Wen had already sent a messenger back to Jinhua, so that Sun Yu and the martial arts academy would immediately prepare the officials to take up their posts in Jiangxi, and the army should also hurry up to train more recruits to come out in order to swallow this piece of fat steadily.

Stretching his waist, Chen Wen began to continue to give orders to Jinhua, and by the way, he also wrote a letter to Zhou Yueying, telling her that he might not be able to return to Zhejiang in the next few months, so that she could take care of herself and not worry about Yunyun.

At the same time as Chen Wen wrote the letter, Zhou Yueying, who was far away in Jinhua Mansion City, also came to Chen Wen's study with the big girl who was married.

According to the custom, the study of the head of the family is not accessible to ordinary people, and the hygiene is mostly cleaned by the scholars. Chen Wen has no scholars, and the cleaning of the study is done by Zhou Yueying, the pillow person, on weekdays, in order to ensure that those secrets are not leaked.

However, she is pregnant now, and she is still the first child, so she naturally has to be very careful. Since yesterday, her mother, Chen Wen's mother-in-law, temporarily lived in the inner house of the Xiuguo Mansion to accompany her daughter, this kind of work of cleaning the study has been delegated to the maid who accompanies the marriage, after all, this girl is Zhou Yueying's most trusted subordinate in the house.

The married maid Mo'er was still seriously wiping the furniture on the other side of the study, but Zhou Yueying sat at Chen Wen's desk and frowned, meditating on the map of Guangdong that Chen Wen had seen many times in front of her.

"Could it be that the husband is suspecting that the king of Xining will defeat Xinhui City?"

At this time, it was only the beginning of late May, and there was still a full month before the siege of Xinhui officially began, and Zhou Yueying did not know that Li Dingguo had been infected since April, and he could not recover until August, so he rushed to command the battle under Xinhui City. Naturally, they will not know how that catastrophe happened.

However, Chen Wen also meditated on the map of Guangdong like this some time ago, but she couldn't figure it out at all. The messenger who came back a few days ago also brought her the news that Yushan had won a great victory and Chen Wen was unharmed, but Zhou Yueying had to think about it. Because, the southern end of Jiangxi is Guangdong, if Li Dingguo really defeats Xinhui, Jiangxi's threat in the south will increase dramatically!

"I have to think of a way to let the king of Xining drag Shang Kexi's dog thief, otherwise if the surname Shang and the surname Hu join forces, it will be difficult for the husband to take all the provinces of Jiangxi." (To be continued.) )
