The capture of Wuchang City is not a problem at all.
At the beginning of the war, the desertion of the two sailor battalions can reflect the fighting spirit of the Wuchang defenders, when Chen Yongsheng led the troops to take the Phoenix Mountain, the army bombarded the city with artillery, while trying to attack Wushengmen, but unexpectedly found that the Qing army had not blocked Wushengmen.
A series of explosives bags blew up the Wuchang City Gate, which was filled with iron-clad solid wood and reinforced iron nails, and there was a jack gate inside. However, this jack gate is similar in texture to the city gate, and it is made of solid wood, although it is indeed very heavy. It can indeed play an important role in the era of cold weapons, but in this year, unless it is an iron bar, such protection is useless.
In this way, Wuchang opened his arms to the Fu Han army.
At that time, Chen Yongsheng only had four battalion heads in his hands, not counting artillery. And there were at least 12,300 people in Wuchang City. Chen Yongsheng's choice was not to firmly control Wushengmen and wait for the follow-up of the follow-up troops crossing the river. Instead, they directly launched a fierce attack on Wuchang City, and the Qing soldiers, who had an absolute advantage in troops, were simply defeated. Their morale is low, and their morale is low. No matter how much such an army is, it is waste firewood.
Fan Shishou, Zhu Jue and Al Yajiang were not martyred in Wuchang City, and they didn't even have time to burn the treasury when they fled in the wilderness. A small million taels of silver and a large amount of grain and grass materials, as well as gunpowder, and even some shotguns, knives and guns, all became the trophies of the Fu Han army.
Chen Yongsheng's performance made Chen Ming very satisfied, so much so that he was the first to enter Wuchang City and occupied the two concubines left by Fan Shishou, and Chen Ming didn't say anything. As long as Chen Yongsheng doesn't do something that he can't tolerate after playing for a few days and then rewarding his subordinates, Chen Ming can completely satisfy his romance. For example, the daughter of the prefect of Wuchang, Chen Ming gave it to Chen Yongsheng after changing hands. Of course, the prefect of Wuchang himself had committed suicide. It's really dead, it's not a fake, and he drowned in the pool in the backyard of the prefect's yamen.
The army took the three towns of Wuhan, and swept Hankou, Hanyang and Wuchang one after another, watching Zheng Hongyu and Wei Xiuzhi leading the logistics manpower and working for five days to complete the preliminary inventory of the harvest list, Chen Ming suddenly had a feeling of 'I don't know how much money is not enough if I don't go to Shenzhen', this is a proper feeling that I don't know how rich China is if I don't take the three towns of Wuhan.
In the entire Wuhan raider, more than 5 million taels of silver and more than 100,000 taels of gold were confiscated and copied, and a large number of jewelry and curiosities were also valued at more than 2 million taels of silver. One Wuhan three towns, all the gains since the Han army came out of Nanyang.
This is the result of a large number of officials, gentry, and wealthy merchants who have already transferred a large amount of gold and silver in advance, otherwise the harvest will be more than doubled. The silver stored in the treasury of the Hubei domain is considered a bird, and the silver confiscated by the officials and gentry is the main source. This is still a restrained copy of the Fu Han army, and some gentry with a good reputation have passed straight in front of the door, otherwise......
Anyway, Chen Ming was irrepressibly excited. He has really seen the 'golden mountains and silver seas'. More than 100,000 taels of gold and 5 million taels of silver, this is a sea of gold and silver.
In addition, grain, cloth, cotton, medicinal materials, gunpowder, knives and guns, and so on, it is no wonder that it took five days for the logistics to complete the preliminary inventory. And from the details listed, Chen Ming saw two words that made him feel very dazzling: ya film.
The three towns of Wuhan in this era already have ya films.
Chen Ming asked people to investigate carefully, and found that the ya-film has been circulating in the three towns of Wuhan for more than ten or twenty years. The Manchu court ordered a ban on smoking many times, but the local government and Yapian merchants colluded with each other, and this thing could not be banned at all.
Chen Ming has a certain understanding of the ya-film trade in this era in his memory. To be precise, it can't be called the yapiece trade now, and the evil madness didn't officially begin until the late Qianlong period. But for the Anglo-Saxons of this era, for their East India Company, YA slice was a rare weapon to open up the Sino-British trade deficit, because YA slice had at least five times the net profit.
500% interest, which will make capital completely crazy. The British opened the way with silver dollars, and the Manchu officials of this era would certainly turn a blind eye and close their eyes. Ya piece this thing spread from the southeast coast to the interior, and the three towns of Wuchang as the thoroughfare of the nine provinces, from the initial medicinal materials, slowly there was a smoke house. There are four sources of these Ya films in the seizure, one is the confiscated gentry property, where there are two only tobacco houses in Wuchang City; The second is the Hanyang Sailor Battalion, Wuhan's trade depends on waterways, and it is understandable that the Hanyang Sailor Battalion has ya; the third is the county treasury of Wuchang County; Finally, there is the closure of the three towns of Wuhan.
This 'off' can be understood as a tariff. It's my 'business' in the Qing Dynasty!
As for why there are ya movies in Guan Curry, Chen Ming doesn't want to know anymore.
A large part of the five million taels of silver added in the hands of the Fu Han army was confiscated in the homes of the small officials in the three towns of Wuhan, which is located in the heart of Hubei. As the thoroughfare of the nine provinces and a prosperous place for commerce, the property of the small officials here is not ordinary fat. And many people have a bad reputation, and it is not a pity to kill them!
……
The Forbidden City, Beijing.
The gathering in the Heart Cultivation Hall is no longer the six military ministers, but the six Jingqing and Shilang Bachelors in the entire Beijing City, it can be said that except for some people in the army and princes and nobles, almost all the senior officers above the third rank have gathered.
They had to come to a conclusion on the issue that had left countless bannermen in their teeth. Because Wuchang City has been lost. Just because of those captured bannermen, Fan Shishou and Al Yajiang did not dare to give orders easily, so that Chen Wei easily filled in the ditches outside the city, and captured the Phoenix Mountain, which was vital to Wuchang City, without bloodshed, and calmly set up artillery to bombard the city.
Now Fan Shishou, Al Yajiang and others have jointly signed a letter to beg for death.
Qianlong's pity for the Jingzhou banner people has fallen to the bottom with the fall of Wuchang City.
In the heart of this emperor, those captured bannermen were no longer pitiful and pitiful, but shameless betrayers.
Their life is to tarnish the dignity and dignity of the banner people, and as long as they are alive in this world for one minute, it is the greatest insult to the Eight Banners. They deserve to die. All to death!
In the twentieth year of Qianlong, when the Manchu Qing Dynasty dealt with the aftermath after pacifying Dzungaria, Emperor Qianlong once instructed: In the past, when the army was used and Tonghur Hanor and other places, our officers and soldiers did not return from the battle, or there were still those in Dzungaria, who were taken captive in front of the battle, stole the land and stole the land, and only then were found out when the soldiers were pacified, and the canonical punishment should be clearly distinguished.
Some of Qianlong's attitudes were clearly and clearly expressed in dealing with the aftermath of the pacification of Dzungaria. He expressed a stern attitude towards those who "failed to die".
Now these Jingzhou banner people, first because of them, the army of Aryajiang was defeated, and then because they let the provincial capital of Wuchang fall, Qianlong hated them to death. In Qianlong's eyes, these people are the 'people who have forgotten their roots' who have not died, and they should all die. You should be full of righteousness to self-determination, so that you are a real good slave.
"Your Majesty, the people of Rujingzhou, a servant of Manchuria, were plundered by thieves, endured shame and steal their lives, forced the provincial capital, and the love and crime are hateful."
"Jingzhou is loyal to the thief at the moment of entering the city, bravely attacking, all of them are fighting to the death and not retreating, such service to the ministers, officials and soldiers, died to serve the country, it is very pitiful. ……
The rest of the generation, greedy for life and afraid of death, survived, and non-national races. ”
This meeting is just a show, and the real decision has already been made before the meeting. Because, it won't work if you don't be ruthless...... (To be continued.) )
