The reason for this confidence is, on the one hand, that there have been successful examples of this approach before, and on the other hand, they now have a practical example -
The Ming Dynasty officer who was picked out of the pile of wounded and sent to Chengmai County to negotiate the release of Xiao Wei actually came back, and he personally brought Wei Aiwen back, and he didn't take the opportunity to escape, which surprised everyone.
Faced with the question here, the officer looked very backbone, and said proudly:
"Since I have been ordered to exchange prisoners, my fellow soldiers, life and death are tied to me, how can I escape on my own."
The words are actually crepe, which is completely different from the old slippery head and other veteran ruffians who can't read big words, which immediately aroused everyone's interest.
Asked about his name, place of origin and other information, claiming that his surname was Zhang, Mingling, the word Ruheng, born in the 31st year of Wanli, and was born in Baoji County, Fengxiang Prefecture, Shaanxi Province. In the forty-eighth year of Wanli, he took up his father's post in the town of Yuchuan Weizhen. In the fourth year of the Apocalypse, he moved to Shaanxi to command the deputy commander of the envoy department. In the following year, he won the war merit and was promoted to the avant-garde town of Xi'an.
In the first year of Chongzhen, he was ordered to send troops to recruit Wang Jiayin, Gao Yingxiang and other anti-thieves. He started a big battle with Gao Yingxiang's foreign aid Zhu Jin at the foot of Cuihua Mountain, personally led the army to charge into battle, broke the thieves, and captured a lot of people. ^^ novel 520 debut ^^
It's just that he didn't want to kill the good and take the merits, so that his boss and colleagues were very dissatisfied, and as a result, he made a little tricks when rewarding meritorious deeds, and the promotion was to let him be promoted, from Wei Zhenfu of the fifth grade to the thousand households of the fifth grade, but the place of service was sent to Qiongzhou Mansion, which was thousands of miles away.
Zhang Ling Zhang Ruheng originally didn't care about this kind of small means, he was known for his good fighting in the army, and firmly believed that with his bravery, he could be promoted wherever he was. Not long after arriving in Qiongzhou, he was sent out to suppress bandits again, this time to suppress short-haired bandits.
However, this time it was completely planted, and the short-haired bandits didn't fight with them at all, and they were blown up without even seeing the enemy's face. Completely different from the way he was accustomed to warfare in this era, the death rate of the generals in this battle was astonishingly high - the local Qiongzhou Prefecture and the six thousand households sent from Guangzhou. He was the only one who survived. In fact, if he hadn't been knocked unconscious in the first place, he would have been sniped by Beiwei as well.
The general probably thought he wouldn't live long either—in the previous battle, the sheer force of the Walkers could easily have led one to mistake them for being brutal. So Zhang Ling chirped and said a lot, reviewed all his life deeds, and then prepared to be heroic.
However, what surprised this Zhang Qianhu was that the short-haired bandits who killed people without blinking in these rumors, and did not blink when they really fought, did not act angrily. There was no intention of killing him at all.
In fact, it is enough for everyone here to listen to his Shaanxi official dialect. In addition, this birdman reported a bunch of awkward official names and place names. Zhang Ling closed his mouth for a long time. Here, I also gathered around to convert the era and understand the official position.
“…… Thirty-one years of Wanli? Well, it's 1603, so he's only twenty-seven years old this year. From the five pins? This official is not small. The status of the Ming Dynasty generals was low? The family of Jiangmen from Shaanxi has fought with King Chuang! …… No, it's not King Li Chuang. It's King Gao Chuang, the former boss of Li Zicheng......"
"It's good, it's good, there is finally an official who survived, this guy in Beiwei is too dark, and he wiped out all the senior officers just after the war, and it's not easy to have one left......
A group of people muttered for a long time about being able to catch a Ming Dynasty officer prisoner. \\\xiaoshuo520.net\ They were still quite happy - the snake could not be without a head. To manage the thousands of Ming prisoners of war, of course, it is most appropriate to use their own local officials.
Of course. It would certainly not be realistic to order him to do this directly, but since this man has a good name - as can be seen from the fact that he came back when he had the opportunity to escape, it is still possible to instruct him to do certain things - and this is what Ade is best at.
So Zhang Qianhu soon found out depressedly: although he was not dead, he was facing a very embarrassing situation - these short hairs actually let him continue to lead people and work!
If it was a general situation, he Zhang Ling and Zhang Ruheng would have shouted out a long time ago: "I am a dignified minister, and I will definitely not bend my knee to be a thief, if you want to kill, you will kill, and the husband can be killed and not insulted!" ”
But what those short-haired people asked him to do now was to lead people to rescue the wounded of the Ming army itself - to bandage them with medicine, make stretchers, build temporary grass huts to shelter from the wind and rain, and so on.
It stands to reason that he should refuse an order from the enemy, but this order is beneficial to them - the short-haired people are not playing, their rescue operations are well organized, and the treatment methods are novel but quite effective, so to speak, even the Ming Dynasty army's own ambulance battalion cannot do better than these short-haired bandits. \\\\\\
In the end, Zhang Ling still chose to obey, after all, among these people who are now rescued also have his own family guards, and his reaction is expected by Ade-since he was able to complete the prisoner exchange before, it means that this person is still relatively flexible, not pedantic and reckless.
However, it is definitely unrealistic to expect this Ming Qianhu to die like this, in fact, Zhang Ling has been secretly observing these short-haired bandit equipment when he is working. The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were far from being as ignorant and idiotic as the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty in later generations, and when they encountered foreign guns and cannons, they actually expected to use red lacquered toilets to resist. In fact, soon after the start of the war, most of the Ming troops felt first-hand the rumors that had been dismissed as rumors by the commanders - the firearms of these "bandits" were so well-equipped that they far exceeded the norms of the Ming Dynasty
It was not that the Ming Dynasty army had not fought with an enemy who was better equipped than them, and Zhang Ling did not have much contact when he was in Shaanxi, but after being transferred to the south, he had heard many times about the battle of the Ming army to recover Penghu. = Novel 520 debut== How arrogant the red-haired man is, it's not the same to be repulsed.
I thought that these short-haired bandits were just Liu Xiang's generation, and they took advantage of the foreigners' power to get some firearms, foxes, and fake tigers from Westerners. The court officials were reluctant to speak lightly before, largely because they did not want to provoke the foreigners behind them, although the Ming Dynasty was not afraid of foreigners, but for the bureaucrats, more is better than less.
However, later, it was said that the red-haired people themselves had to clean them up, so they were willing to lend the imperial court arms, which made Guangzhou make up its mind. Although it is not clear how this group of people dares to turn their faces against the foreign masters behind them, since they have no foundation to support them, the civil and military officials in charge of military affairs such as the Guangdong Provincial Inspectorate, the Military Preparation Dao, the Qiongya Staff General, and the Qiongzhou Military Preparation Road do not mind adding a stroke to their own merit book.
After all, this group of people is a rebel who kills officials and rebels, Qiongzhou, Guangdong, and Fujian have been sending people to inquire about the news here, and the Lingao County Commander has also been informing them of the news, and the number of people here has already been figured out: only more than 100, and there are many women. After conquering the county seat, he did not say that he coerced the people to expand his power, which was really incredible in the eyes of Zhang Ling from Shaanxi -- after the fall of a county town in their place, it would not be long before tens of thousands of rogue soldiers would emerge, and the vast majority of them were originally good citizens, but if they did not want to fall into the grass after their homes were destroyed, they would have to wait for death.
In short, there was a lot of information, and it can be said that they knew everything that happened here. But knowing is not the same as understanding, and the behavior of this group of short-haired people is not only inexplicable in the eyes of the locals, but also in the eyes of officials in Qiongzhou, Guangzhou and other places.
However, since the so-called "blame is not to blame, the blame is self-defeating" -- since they cannot understand it, the officials did not think much about it. According to the usual situation, this dispatch of troops will be a very easy action: mobilize thousands of troops to exterminate more than 100 pirates, and there are red-haired firearms to help, isn't that a piece of cake?
Therefore, Lord Xue, the envoy of Guangzhou Haidao, personally brought people to supervise the army, that is, he wanted to share a sum in the merit book. Everyone estimated that there might be more trouble on the march...... Before the troops were dispatched, all the officials in the Qiongzhou Prefecture and Canton Province thought so.
Zhang Ling's memories ended here, and he didn't even want to think about the rest of the things. Until now, he still couldn't believe that the entire army of 5,000 people had been wiped out in this way -- these 5,000 people were real, and they were all young and strong together with the heavy grain and grass escorted behind, if they were in Shaanxi, how could they be wrapped in 40,000 or 50,000 old and weak, and claim to be 178,000...... That's it, boom, it's all gone!
If he was completely blown up by the heavenly thunder, he might be a little better, and he would not be convinced, after all, it is impossible for manpower to compete with Tianwei. But after the explosion, his troops did not suffer much loss because they were the vanguard. However, then, this elite army that he brought from his hometown in Shaanxi to Hainan and had great achievements was crushed alive by the opponent's iron armor.
Zhang Ling was unable to get up from the ground when he was shaken, but he saw with his own eyes how the ironclad car continued to move forward slowly and without any hindrance, and how the ironman army on the car and on both sides of the car was draped in a row with powerful muskets to knock down the Ming army......
Afterwards, Zhang Ling thought about it repeatedly, even if there was no previous explosion and the two sides were hard to shake, they had no chance of winning, at most, they could defeat a few with artillery luck, but they couldn't change the overall situation. The firecrackers were completely useless, even the ones given to them by the red-haired man.
Zhang Ling began to wonder if these people's weapons were from Westerners, neither Hongmao nor Francoji seemed to have such powerful firearms? This suspicion reached its peak when he was sent to help build the camp for the sick and wounded—and he was astonished to see that there were hundreds of red-haired men working under the same short-haired escort!
