Chapter 830: Xia Ma Wei (1)
After all, Ma was born in Jiangmen, and his knowledge is much more clever than that of several female dependents from the rivers and lakes, and she just thought less at the beginning, but Yang Chengzu mentioned it, and she also realized the problem. Leng Feishuang, who never spoke in the cabin, just looked at the family making a fuss, said coldly at this time
"More than 20,000 people, both wolf soldiers and machine soldiers, are all capable of making trouble. After we went ashore, the first thing they did was probably not to greet the chincha, but to make a fuss, right? If they don't come out with real money, they will be in this trouble, and General Yang will lose any face this time. ”
Mi Niang and the others also understood that the Guangzhou side had gathered such a huge number of troops, and the pressure on logistics was extremely great, even if the Holy Mother of Yiren stepped on the dragon's head and put on such a big battle, there was also a suspicion of killing chickens with knives. This method is actually to deal with one's own people rather than the enemy, so the previous defeat is of course a gap in weapons, and I am afraid that those who are pulling back their legs must also be taken into account.
From the campaign to suppress the Japanese, everyone has this consensus, if it is not for its own internal precautions more strictly than outsiders, the Ming army is afraid that it will be unclear and will have a big heel. On the Guangdong side, maybe someone colluded with Foyi, sold the marching information cleanly, mixed some sand in the troops, and stuck another card in logistics, plus the gap between ships and firepower, it was not inconceivable that the Ming army would be defeated.
The machine soldiers are the people who are recruited from the people, and their food and salary are all raised by the local government itself, and there are no regulations, and some local government governments are very procrastinating in giving money, resulting in a low will to fight and no fighting spirit. The wolf soldiers are the men and horses under the command of the Guangxi Tusi, they have always been fierce, the combat effectiveness is there, the difference in discipline, and the strength of the combat power is also famous in the Ming officialdom.
Because the court did not pay for the requisition of the wolf soldiers, they all relied on the battlefield to kill the first reward, and the bounty was only given to the leader and not to the soldiers, so the wolf soldiers were actually very resistant to going into battle. The troops set out without food and wages, and all the expenses along the way relied on plunder, and the military discipline was naturally extremely poor, stealing, burning, and killing, and doing everything. There were even cases where the villages on the march route were slaughtered by wolf soldiers, but because of the Tusi involved, they had to stop in the end.
Generally speaking, if there is something in the place, the wolf soldiers are not adjusted, even if there is something to adjust, the wolf soldiers are not allowed to enter the city, and the wolf soldiers are also prohibited from entering the city along the way, otherwise it is likely to be a greater loss than the loss of the city.
This time, the wolf soldiers alone mobilized more than 4,000 people, these people have always only recognized the leader, not others, even if it is the king of heaven, they don't care. After the Qincha went ashore, as long as there were people who cared for it, they would definitely dare to besiege the Qincha and beg for money and food. If one doesn't get it right, it may even move its fists. Once Qin Cha is beaten, this face falls to the bottom, and I am afraid that the following errands will not be able to be done. Even the killing of the pirates, the prestige of the pirates, with this fist and kick, they can't afford to pay attention to anything.
"Who did this? What a boldness, they don't want to die! Qingqing slapped the table fiercely, she was still a female bandit after all, and if she didn't say a word, she wanted to talk about fighting and killing.
Leng Feishuang smiled and said: "Sister Qing, I think most of them are not all the way with those people in Zhejiang, otherwise they would know that we have a large amount of silver in our hands to pay this time." This trick is simply useless. The maritime merchants in Guangdong and Zhejiang are not on the same page, and this time everyone refused to exchange information, so they suffered this kind of loss. ”
Yang Chengzu sneered: "Most of them know that I have Xu Yang's savings in Shuangyu, and they are inevitably a little unconvinced, and they want me to spit out some of the money I have gotten, so they will do this." These can only be regarded as dismounting, and when they really get to the place, they don't know what means are waiting for them. Compared with the guns of the Buddhas, the soft knives of their own people are more difficult to deal with. But fortunately, Zhang Shijun is mostly from our side, he is from Xiaoshan, and this time we won a big victory in Ningbo, and also protected his hometown. I also checked it before that Jinyiwei's family is based on farming and reading, and it is strictly forbidden for his children to engage in sea trade, and he is not the same heart as the sea merchant's family. I saved his family this time, and he should be grateful to me. At the very least, I hope he will remember this friendship and not come to scold me. ”
Outside the city of Guangzhou, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are dotted around, like a jade belt around the city of Guangzhou. Large areas of trees outside the city have been cut down by wolf soldiers to make camps, build houses, or use them as fuel for heating. The soldiers in threes and threes, holding the weapons in their hands, laughed and scolded, and fought endlessly. Others go to a nearby water source to fetch water, and when they return, they often carry a chicken or a dog with them.
In the governor's yamen in the city, Zhang Yi, the governor of Liangguang and Guangdong, looked at the paper in front of him, and his face was crying and laughing. An old staff member who has followed him for more than 20 years, Zou Jishi, who is also a well-known Confucian student, shook his head with a wry smile on his face and said, "Wolf soldiers, wolf soldiers." When the wolf soldiers were recruited, the military gate opposed it vigorously, but now it really made an accident, but the military gate still had to deal with the aftermath, which was really annoying. ”
"The people who can hand the paper to my official desk are all big gentry in the city, they have connections, connections, and families, and even they have suffered, let alone those ordinary people?" Zhang Yi sighed, picked up the tea bowl, and gently slapped the foam in the teacup with the lid of the bowl.
"The matter of military salaries, or is it not settled? If we can solve some of the food and salary for these wolf soldiers, maybe they won't make trouble anymore, otherwise, the official will have to let the standard battalion go out and kill their prestige. Although the court is gentle and far away, it can't let them be too presumptuous. ”
Zou Jishi smiled bitterly, "The problem of military rations, you can think of a way, and the matter of military salaries is really difficult to handle." In fact, the problem is not only the salary, our salary is also sent to Cen Meng. However, according to the students, he was the one who took the lead among the people who made trouble this time, and I am afraid that he will not be able to feed his appetite with silver alone. In this, there are still people behind the scenes, otherwise a toast would not have such courage. If we mobilize the standard battalion, we are afraid that if Buddha Yi does not go, the chaos will rise again, and it will be difficult to do it at that time. I still want Shen Tongzhi to reason with him, let him not be too indulgent, and everyone looks good. ”
Zhang Cheng also knew that what his staff said was a truth, Cen Meng had always been unruly, and it was not impossible to do things that were chaotic. I have also heard some reports that he has objections, but he has not caught the real evidence, and it is not easy to deal with it. If he uses Fubiao bullet pressure, it will really cause a firefight, or he will lead his troops back to rebel. At present, the two Guangxi provinces are not ready to attack and suppress, and the situation cannot be expanded.
Shen Xiyi's family has been in Guangxi for generations, and they are familiar with the head of the toast, and they are like brothers and sisters with each other, so they can use it. It's a pity that Shen Xiyi's mediation is also Huairou, and it is difficult to be angry for the gentry, and in the end, he still has to be roasted on the fire.
He sighed, "Now I can only hope that Qin's men and horses will arrive sooner, if his people arrive, they may be able to suppress Cen Meng's gang." In any case, he came from Beijing, and the natives were afraid of the majesty of the Celestial Empire, and when they saw the Qincha, they did not dare to continue to make trouble, and it was very possible. ”
Having said that, looking at the paper in his hand, Zhang Ji's eyebrows were still wrinkled into a Sichuan shape, how should he give an explanation to these big households, and how should he ensure that the public order will not deteriorate in the future and the situation will not expand further?
A short time later, an errand officer rushed in from outside, announcing the important news that the Chincha's fleet was almost at the dock.
