Deqing is the closest Qing army to Luoding, just like Xinhui is in Guangzhou, Deqing is also the gateway to Zhaoqing, an important town in Guangdong, the year before last, when Li Dingguo's army first attacked Guangdong, it was in Zhaoqing that the attack was hopeless and was forced to take the division.

Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles.

If you want to win the attack of the Qing army in Deqing, you must first know how many Qing troops there are in Daoqing City. For this reason, Zhou Shixiang discussed with Hu Laoda, and ordered someone to bring Shao Jiugong over, preparing to obtain all the information about the Deqing Green Camp from this mouth.

After the people came over, Boss Hu was ready to intimidate first, lest Shao Jiugong's dead pig not be afraid of boiling water, but there was no need to do anything more, knowing that the other party wanted to know about the situation in Deqing Green Camp, Shao Jiugong poured beans from the bamboo tube and told him what he knew.

According to his confession, stationed in Deqing was Zhang Dade, a garrison under Xu Erxian, the chief soldier of Zhaoqing, who was also called Zhang Mazi because his face was full of pockmarks. He had a full battalion of 500 men.

Kong Guoliang has a thousand generals, and there are more than 400 soldiers under him, and Zhang Dade has a garrison, but there are only 500 people under him?

Zhou Shixiang was a little confused, and after listening to Shao Jiugong's subsequent explanation, he understood that although the green battalion battalion system was divided into four types: standard, cooperative, battalion, and flood, the number of people in each battalion was different, and it was not a fixed staffing, generally as little as two or three hundred, and as many as six or seven hundred. The battalion does not necessarily have more troops than Xun, but it still depends on the place where it is stationed, such as the river, Caoyun, etc., and the green battalion soldiers are less than the soldiers.

And the green battalion is 100% the original Ming army, many Ming army generals are in the Qing army when the flag is changed, hair turned into a green battalion, so the soldiers under their command are very disordered, more or less, coupled with the existence of the Yongli regime in the Southern Ming Dynasty, a few years ago there were Jin Shengheng in Jiangxi, Li Chengdong in Guangdong, Jiang Jiu in Datong and others rebelled against the Qing Dynasty and returned to the Ming Dynasty, so the Qing court in order to consolidate the occupied areas, and at the same time in order to appease the Ming army to surrender to the generals, they set the rules in the eighth year of Shunzhi, and all the Ming troops surrendered were reorganized into the green battalion, and do not reduce its troops, what was an official in the Ming Dynasty, what an official was in the Qing Dynasty, and sometimes even promoted to a higher level. As a result, the soldiers and horses of the Green Battalion became more and more chaotic, because the soldiers brought by the generals of each family were different.

Zhang Dade is the garrison of Xu Erxian, the chief soldier of Zhaoqing, Kong Guoliang is the commander of the thousand generals under Kong Guozhi, the former is the old subordinate of the king of Pingnan of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in Liaodong, and the latter is the general who descended later.

"Old Li Wang Ye wants to fight Deqing?"

Shao Jiugong almost called Li Dingguo an old thief, but fortunately, his brain turned quickly, so he didn't cause trouble for himself. Until this meeting, he still did not suspect that Zhou Shixiang and them were actually a gang of bandits and not the real Ming army, but they were Li Dingguo's Ming army from Gaozhou.

Zhou Shixiang shook his head and said: "It's not that the king of Xining wants to fight Deqing, but that our Taiping camp wants to fight Deqing, or that the Qing army in Deqing will come to fight us, so we want to fight them." ”

Hearing this tongue twister, Shao Jiugong was confused: Are you going to beat Zhang Mazi, or is Zhang Mazi going to beat you?

As for why the Taiping Battalion went to fight Deqing, instead of Li Dingguo's army, he didn't think much about it, because he thought that the Taiping Battalion was the vanguard sent by Li Dingguo to test the reaction of the Qing army.

Thinking of Deqing garrisoning Zhang Mazi, Shao Jiugong couldn't help but move, he had no way back, and he had to do the Ming army if he didn't do it in this life, so it was better to take Zhang Mazi to open the knife, but fortunately, the Ming army would completely gain a foothold, so as not to be squeezed out by them as cannon fodder.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help volunteering: "If you fight Deqing, the two generals might as well let the small one take the lead, that Zhang Mazi suffered two losses from me back then, and the small one has no other skills, but it is not difficult to beat him Zhang Mazi." ”

"You?"

Zhou Shixiang didn't suspect that Shao Jiugong had other thoughts, just glanced at the other party's back and smiled softly, "Are you healed from the injury on your back?" ”

Hearing this, Shao Jiugong was in pain for a while, but he gritted his teeth, tried to straighten his chest, and said stiffly: "A little flesh wound, it can't get in the way, as long as you can make contributions to the Ming Dynasty and drive the Tartars out of the territory of our Han people, you will not hesitate to break your bones!" ”

"How did that Zhang Dade suffer your loss?"

Zhou Shi was concerned not about Shao Jiugong volunteering, but about what he had to do to make Zhang Dade suffer.

This is Shao Jiugong's most capable deed in his life, I don't know how many times I have said it to people before, and now that I have the opportunity to say it and show it, I am naturally extremely happy, and I said it at the moment.

It turned out that when Shao Jiugong followed Kong Guozhi's brothers to fight Jiangxi with Jin Shengheng, Zhang Dade was a thousand generals of the Jiangxi Ming Military Guard. Once Kong Guozhi was anxious to make meritorious service and advance alone, but he was ambushed by the Ming army, and when he fled, he asked Shao Jiugong to lead people to block the Ming army, and it was Zhang Dade who led the Ming army to chase after him.

Shao Jiugong was also scared to death at that time, but he didn't dare to disobey Kong Guozhi's order, so he could only bring a gang of remnants to the hard top in the back, and he couldn't hold it for a while, seeing that the Ming army was about to rush up, Shao Jiugong was also in a hurry, and asked his subordinates to take out the broken silver and copper plates on their bodies and throw them on the ground, so that Zhang Dade's subordinates would all go to pick up silver and copper plates, where could they still care about chasing Shao Jiugong and them. Shao Jiugong saw that the Ming army was in chaos, so he turned around and led people to rush back, and the Ming army was scattered at once.

"This is the first time, but what about the second time?"

Shao Jiugong's method of escaping for his life made Zhou Shixiang and Boss Hu listen to it interestingly, and they were all interested, urging him to continue.

Shao Jiugong swallowed his throat and said with a smile: "The second time, I still use this method, but this time I don't throw silver and copper plates." ”

"Oh, why don't you throw it away?" Zhou Shixiang and Boss Hu were a little surprised, such a good method was not used again yesterday.

Shao Jiugong said with a smile: "Zhang Mazi is not a fool, he suffered my loss last time, if he sees me throwing silver and copper plates on the road again this time, he will definitely not be fooled." So I deliberately didn't throw it, but he believed that I was really running away, so he took my own soldiers to chase me to the death, and finally I took him into the valley to set up an ambush, and almost caught him! ”

This is psychological warfare

The more Zhou Shixiang thought about it, the more interesting he felt about it, Shao Jiugong, a veteran soldier, was still quite good at calculating people's hearts.

"Later, I don't know what happened yesterday, this pockmark also surrendered to the Tartars, and now it is a garrison, the last time we passed by Deqing, he stood at the head of the city and looked at me proudly, so angry that my teeth were itching."

Thinking of the scene when he passed by Deqing with Kong Guoliang that day, Shao Jiugong couldn't wait to arrest Zhang Dade and scold: You are a defeated general and still have the face to play music against me? !

Since the release of the work, it has been a real immersion in creation, and there is no record of spending money on books like other authors, so the results are too real, so the recommendation arrangement of the website may be weaker. Here, I would like to ask the readers who support this book (starting point members) to leave your mark on this book - spend two cents to like a chapter, so as to increase the number of fans, so that I can know the real subscription audience ratio of this book in the future, thank you!

I still firmly believe that most readers and friends who love historical novels still prefer traditional time-traveling works rather than superpowers, summonings, and space going back and forth.
