Chapter 166: Smile Enters and Drives Away
[Thanks; The reward of two book friends, Dream Rain Shenghua and Reader 001! 】
Even more shocking scenes continued
A neat line appeared behind the cavalry, this one was longer and longer with no end in sight.
When the huge team began to enter the city with neat steps, the people of Yangzhou suddenly found that this orderly and incredible team was smiling, and all the soldiers were smiling, smiling without squinting.
Autumn is innocent, the smiling team, or the officers and soldiers, what kind of team is this, whose army is it?
The shock continued, ordinary Ming soldiers all used knives and guns, and these frontmost foot soldiers carried firearms, each firecracker had a spur at the mouth, these officers and soldiers were too neatly lined up, the firecrackers were carried on their shoulders, and the rows of spurs flashed with a terrifying light. There are too many of them to count.
Shield-bearers, pikemen appeared
The foot soldiers passed, and behind them was a huge convoy of large carts. These big carts in front of them had no carriages, and they were covered with wooden planks, and on the wooden planks were artillery, which was a kind of small artillery, and there were dozens of large carts of small artillery guns with their heads raised to the sky.
"I'm afraid there are nearly a thousand of these cannons, right?!"
The people on both sides were crowded, and the people watching the excitement had crowded the streets on both sides. The army didn't seem to need any panic, and the smiles of the soldiers were full of kindness, and many people on the street couldn't help but start to marvel.
What is behind the small artillery?
It's still artillery, a whole ten, and these ten cannons are as huge as a giant beast, and this giant beast is still a steel structure. The long barrel, the metal wheels, and the whole steel frame were so powerful, as if to tell of its great power.
It was the logistics troops who pressed the formation, and this army was not as neat as the army in front, but it was also smiling, and the formation was not chaotic at all. This was followed by trucks carrying supplies, which were fully loaded.
It's a shock
This is Zhou Huchen's deliberate, what is this called?
This is called showing military might, and it is indispensable. Naturally, this is Zhou Huchen's masterpiece, he needs to give Yangzhou people a different kind of shock, but also need to reassure Yangzhou people, this team not only has a strong liliang, but also has strict military discipline, this is for Yangzhou people to see.
The officials and soldiers in Yangzhou fully showed a kind of helplessness, and the soldiers kept circling around these entrants. It's a pity that their numbers are too small, and they are pitiful compared to Zhou Yuji's army. These soldiers of Yangzhou City were dizzy, and they were about to join this team.
Of course, it will definitely not be able to fight, it will just be a show.
Yang Zhenxi, the salt transport envoy, and Ma Mingluo, the governor of Yangzhou, behaved a little exaggerated today, and they led a group of people to stop at the front of the team, pointing fingers and shouting loudly. In fact, it was already very late, and the whole team was almost in.
Cai Maode was very cooperative, and he also led his civil officials to meet him, and a large group of black gauze hats were so pleasing to the eye on the street. With all kinds of accents, the southern and northern tones shouted without showing weakness, except that there was no scolding or moving, and the people around them almost covered their ears
The news of Zhou Yuji's army entering Yangzhou finally spread; In order to prevent Yangzhou from being attacked by the enemy, Zhou Yuji, the prince of the Ming Dynasty, the governor of Zuodu, and the chief military officer of Shanxi, led an army of 70,000 troops into Yangzhou.
The whole Yangzhou was in an uproar.
But this is an uproar full of surprises, less than half an hour, the sound of firecrackers sounded in Yangzhou City, and it quickly became one, which made the whole Yangzhou City full of the smell of firecrackers. The people began to take to the streets to celebrate, and they watched as the army began to set up defenses, taking over the defense of the city head and gates, and then began to set up barracks in some school grounds and vacant areas in the city.
Zhou Yuji's reputation is too loud, the discipline of his army is known to the world, and Gao Jie, who once peeped into Yangzhou, obviously has a huge gap with him, and the people of Yangzhou will not welcome Gao Jie's army. But who is Zhou Yuji, and how can the people resist such an army.
Yangzhou is a surprise uproar, and in Nanjing, there must be an uproar, as for how the uproar, it is no longer Zhou Huchen's business.
At the same time that the army entered the Yangzhou garrison, Zhou Huchen and Cai Maode left Yangzhou City.
————————————
Zhenjiang, in ancient times, was called "Yi", "Zhu Fang", "Dantu", "Jingkou", "Runzhou". The geographical location of Zhenjiang is extremely superior, the back of the mountain faces the river, the situation is dangerous, it is known as the place where the town guards the river defense, so it is named Zhenjiang.
The general guarding Zhenjiang is named Xu Ziqiang, who is Xu Ziqiang? He was a subordinate of Zhang Guowei when he was the governor of Suzhou in the past, and he had several encounters with Zhou Yuji, and he was also very familiar with Cai Maode. The name of the prefect of Zhenjiang is Bai Guangyin, this prefect is a native of Zhejiang, a standard Jiangnan person, and he was once Cai Maode's colleague and subordinate.
It is very convenient to rush to Zhenjiang in Yizheng, you only need to take a boat.
More than 60,000 people, with a large amount of materials and equipment for various workshops, took a full day to move the position. If it weren't for Huang Degong's help, I'm afraid this transfer would have taken two or three days.
Each ship carried a large number of family members, craftsmen, but also a lot of soldiers. Huang Degong was very cautious, because in the place across the river from Zhenjiang, there was a place called Guazhou.
Guazhou is located at the confluence of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and the Yangtze River, is one of the important passages of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal into the Yangtze River, known as "the main place of the north and south, overlooking the Beijing mouth, connecting Jiankang, the sea, the big river, millions of boats per year, floating in the river, the people involved in the trade of Baizhou, going back to the stream, will anchor so, it is the benefit of the north and the south".
This kind of precaution is naturally reasonable, because there is a garrison and family members of Gao Jie here, and the leading general is Yang Chengji, Gao Jie's general.
Zhou Huchen is a very generous person, and this generosity is often reflected in his own people. Unfortunately, he never seemed to be generous enough with threats.
After placing these important personnel in Zhenjiang, Zhou Huchen began to show his lack of generosity.
It took an hour for 3,000 cavalry and 5,000 foot soldiers to set off in Yangzhou and arrive in Guazhou. An hour later, Gao Jie's subordinate Yang Chengji suddenly found himself surrounded, not only on land, but also in the river on the south side of Guazhou, and in the canal on the east side, there were many large ships, both on land and on the soldiers on the ship.
Yang Cheng had more than 3,000 soldiers under his command, and these soldiers were used to protect the entire army's families. Unfortunately, now these soldiers seem to have a limited role.
The entire barracks was surrounded by firecrackers, and the thorns in the mouth of the guns were so dazzling in the sunlight. Yang Cheng could clearly see that behind the rear gunners were cavalry, thousands of cavalry. Yang Cheng already knew that Zhou Yuji's army had entered Yangzhou two days ago, but he didn't know how this Zhou Yuji came from. Yang Cheng had already sent someone to inform his handsome Gao Jie of this very unpleasant news.
It is understandable that his army is not allowed to enter Yangzhou, and his family is not allowed to enter Yangzhou, which makes Gao Jie always angry, of course, Yang Cheng is also angry.
Of course, Zhou Huchen didn't care about Yang Chengji's stubbornness, jumped off the boat, and Zhou Huchen directly ordered: "Go and shout, for an hour, let these people get out of the way, and if you don't get out, they will all be thrown into the river!" ”
Now Yang Cheng doesn't have to worry about it, and it is impossible not to leave Guazhou. These families and soldiers occupy a village, which they forcibly occupy. Without the will of the people, in the face of these "friendly forces" eyeing each other, Yang Cheng knew that he was not an opponent, not only was he not Zhou Yuji's opponent, but he was not Huang Degong's opponent.
As for Gao Jie and Huang Degong's holiday, it seems that it has been going on for a long time, and the various small frictions in the past cannot be described in detail. Especially a recent incident made Huang Degong and Gao Jie form an indissoluble enmity.
