Chapter 678: The Battle of Jiujiang Mansion (I)
After the people in Jiujiang City learned that Nanjing City was occupied by a group of pirates, everyone had a subtle feeling in their hearts.
Since ancient times, in the big cities along the coast and along the river, the news is much better than that of the inland.
In fact, not long after the city of Hangzhou was broken, the people here knew.
Those pirates are the people of the Han and Tang groups, and they ambushed 200,000 people and horses of our Qing Dynasty, and I heard that none of them ran away; Those people in the Hantang Group heard about the tax exemption for six months, and they also heard the ballad: Open the door, welcome the Han Tang, and the Han and Tang Dynasty will not pay grain for six months!
And most importantly, they never burned, killed, looted!
In fact, it is a group of maritime merchants who do business, and the army under them is not called a big army, but a security brigade.
None of them are the same thing when I am clear, I heard that it is still called a bandit group, shhh, whisper-
The current Jiangxi Governor is Cai Shiying, a native of Jinzhou in the Northeast, and the Han Army is under a white flag.
In the seventh year of Chongde (1642), Cai Shiying descended to the Qing Dynasty Prince Zheng Jierharang with the ancestor of the general army, and was under the white flag of the Han army, and awarded Niu Lu Zhangjing.
In the sixth year of Shunzhi, he was awarded the deputy capital of the White Banner Han Army and the chief of the Eight Banners Red Cannon.
went to Shanxi to rebel against Jiang Xuan, and gave Asihani Hasan the post of world, and the Tatars thought that he could be literary and martial.
In the ninth year of Shunzhi, that is, in 1652, he was awarded the governor of Jiangxi, the right attendant of the military department and the left deputy capital of the Imperial Palace, and the governor of Jiangxi was also in charge of food and military affairs.
At this time, there were only three chief and deputy commanders in Jiujiang Mansion, and there were 3,000 elite soldiers.
After Cai Shiying served as the governor of Jiangxi, he still did some good things and had some good reputation.
First of all, Cai Shiying, the governor of Jiangxi, sent troops to recruit and suppress mountain bandits, appease the displaced people, reduce taxes, and the people were greatly relieved because of it.
Then rectify education. In the tenth year of Shunzhi, Cai Shiying, the governor of Jiangxi, together with the feudal divisions, successively restored, rectified, hired teachers, and taught four famous academies in Leadshan Goose Lake, Ji'an Bailuzhou, Nanchang Youjiao, and Lushan Bailu Cave.
For the White Deer Cave Academy, Cai Shiying, Li Chun and others have clearly identified the old acres of land, advocated the increase of new fields, formulated rules and regulations, and enrolled students in class examinations.
Third, he also petitioned for the people, hoping that the higher authorities would reduce Jiangxi's transportation tasks.
He once wrote:
His Royal Highness Yang Du could not bear to protect the innocence of several years, and drove it to death.
However, considering that this water and land transportation is really hard, and the military needs are urgent, and then the Si Nong who wants to do business, and is afraid of delaying the round trip, but he is indiscriminate, and he is entrusted by the people, so he has to ask for orders before His Royal Highness.
When the Hantang Group had something to do in Zhejiang, he was restless and frightened, and he reported it again and again.
Jiangxi Governor Cai Shiying reported:
Rebels and pirates have successively attacked the land of Fujian and Zhejiang, and they are about to flow into trouble in the river border.
It is also rumored that pirates have flying boats, but they are automatic without sails and wind, and there are large iron chariots on land, and no one has no horses to do on their own, and the land and sea are horns for each other.
Residents near Fujian and Zhejiang provinces have been mutilated by it!
Or it can be a disaster to Jiangxi, although the lower officials are going all out to prepare for the war, but there are too few elite soldiers in their hands, begging for our army to help!
His feeling is right, after the pirate group brutalizes the land of Zhejiang, they will not give up, otherwise, how can they not kill and rob? !
Since ancient times, pirates have robbed and left, but they may not withdraw from the land, they want to compete with me for the world!
Every time Jiangxi Governor Cai Shiying thought of this, he was in a cold sweat-
He opened the warehouse of Jiujiang Mansion and took out silver rice to recruit soldiers to defend the city, and soon recruited 10,000 people; At the same time, vigorously repaired the city wall, borrowed the method of bamboo reinforcement cement concrete, and soon repaired the city wall of Jiujiang Mansion like an iron bucket!
He wanted to burn down all the Jiujiang docks, but the pirate group was delayed, and he couldn't give up.
Without this wharf, how will he transfer rice, grain and groceries to the capital in the future?
If Jiujiang Mansion can't do this in the future, he's afraid he's going to lose his head!
At that time, when he heard that the pirate group had something to do in Zhejiang, he had the idea of sealing the river and shipping, but as soon as he settled the account, he was afraid that the pirate group had not yet come, and he would die first.
Block yourself first!
In the end, a plan was decided, as soon as the pirate group appeared in the estuary, it would immediately pour oil and destroy it with fire!
Whether it is the wharf of the official family or the wharf of the merchants——
He also wanted to find out the use of Hantang Group's products in the city, so as to find out the spies in the city.
But this place is not the same as the capital or Tianjin, after all, it is too close to the big island where the pirate group is entrenched, and in terms of water transportation, this distance is not the same thing.
For example, the snow-white snow salt, golden corn and other things, he knew that they were produced by the pirate group, but could he have banned it?!
Almost every merchant sells some of their belongings, and they don't know where they got so many goods!
Even he himself is inseparable from the "Hantang Times".
In fact, he not only reads "Hantang Times", but also "Fujian Times".
He has his own way of getting newspapers, after all, they are all public.
Not to mention the question of position, he still admires the "Fujian Times" very much, this kind of role in educating the people is very great, if the war subsides, he must be clear to his master, do a good job of running such a newspaper!
It's a pity that Zheng Cai doesn't know the overall situation!
He silently recited in his heart the honorific text written by the Han Confucian:
The old country of Manchuria is located in the epicenter.
"Yi" said: "The emperor was shocked. "All things in heaven and earth are their own. China's mountains and rivers, the first residence in Longshu, stretching and undulating, through Taihua thousands of miles and extremely in Jiebo, is the line of the Changbai Mountain. The roots are far-reaching, the luck is lush, and the accumulation of thousands of years has inspired my Qing Dynasty for thousands of years.
I would like to draw the well of Xuanyuan to start Liao, there is a Yu clan to cut Liaodong as a camp, in order to seal the descendants of Xuanyuan, so there is a country of prudence, the king of lonely bamboo, and the foundation of the old department of Jin Liao. It is bordered by Chao/Xian in the east, and the land of the Mongolian tribes in the southwest and north and southwest. The rule is that the stars are arched, and the war is whipped by the four responses. The prosperity of self-provoking is the reality of the sky. Since the ancestors, there has never been!
Really, it's a pity that Zheng Cai doesn't know the overall situation, and I, Daqing, am also a descendant of Xuanyuan!
If it weren't for the imminent war, he would definitely write a letter, and it would be hard to say that he would be able to surrender to Zheng Cai thousands of miles away.
But he still watches "Hantang Times" more.
He despised its crude text, its vulgar content, but was often frightened by the numbers above, which was millions of quintals of grain production at a time? Nearly 10 million quintals of steel a year?!
He desperately tried to make up the number that that number represented, and often couldn't imagine it.
Of course, he still doesn't understand how many kilowatts have been added in the newspaper at every turn, and it is divided into two types: power and electricity, which I don't quite understand.
But he can see the Hantang Group's "Whip of the Heavenly Gods" plan!
They must not be allowed to succeed!
But what could he do to seal the raging river?
Just as he was thinking hard about the way, he suddenly heard that the city of Nanjing had fallen!
He jumped up and ordered to guard it strictly, and no one should enter or leave the city gate!
However, he sent his family members and the family members in the city across the river first, and instructed the person in charge of the trough transportation to be sure to send them to the capital safely.
At that time, he played another concert, declaring that he was in the city, and the city of people was dead!
And he said to his subordinates:
"If we run for our lives, we may live in peace for a while, but the master will never spare us, and even my family will be sent into slavery, so it is better to die in the city in exchange for the mercy of the master. But with a large army rushing to help, it will be a blessing! ”
The generals said, "&......%¥#!" ”
Yes, these were originally the masters, if they were lost in their own hands, it would not be possible to end well, if they were desperately defending, what if there was someone who came to the rescue?!
Cai Shiying, the governor of Jiangxi, said: "The pirate group comes from the sea, and they have been brutalizing the people of Zhejiang for a long time, and when they heard that no one there can breathe; They are good women, and they often go out to sea to rob, and the whole ship is loaded. ”
Cai Shiying, the governor of Jiangxi, thought for a while and said: "They drove the people like cattle and horses, and countless people died in the Taipei Coal Mine and Budai Chemical Industry Zone.
They themselves say in the newspapers that it is a sweatshop, and they are not human! ”
All of them say: "&......%¥##!" ”
Cai Shiying, the governor of Jiangxi, smiled at this time, how can shamans and gods have an effect?
Didn't the soldier who escaped say it? Didn't work!
He said softly, "I don't say anything, I worship ghosts and gods and stay away—I found a way in the newspaper—"
Cai Shiying, the governor of Jiangxi, sent a number of staff members to spread his remarks everywhere in crowded places, after all, what he said made sense, and who doesn't have a woman in the family?!
Whatever their staff said, everyone nodded in approval, especially some scholars, who swore to share weal and woe with the governor and live and die with the city!
After Cai Shiying, the governor of Jiangxi, received the work report of the staff, he was overjoyed and felt that the people's support was available.
Of course he had confidence.
He gave more silver to the soldiers he had recruited, and they were all in good spirits; He also moved the people in the surrounding villages to Jiujiang Mansion, and let them live in the original city.
Due to the relocation of too many people at one time, many families can only live under the eaves of large businesses.
There is really no way to do this, the Lord Governor is kind, for fear that they will be robbed and slaughtered by the pirate group.
Of course, with the "help" of the soldiers, they didn't dare not listen, but fortunately, Lord Cai Shiying, the governor of Jiangxi, did not often help the people.
The rice and grain in the treasury of Nafu were all newly collected from them, but fortunately they did not have time to transport them away, otherwise, this garrison of the city would really have become a rice cook.
Fighting to the death, he literally wrote a suicide note, telling his methods and his views on the pirate group, and his inferences about them.
He felt that he couldn't defend it, the city wall of Jiujiang Mansion couldn't be higher and bigger than Nanjing anyway, and there was no way to compare the soldiers defending the city.
How many times did he ask the soldiers who had escaped, and he thought he knew every detail.
But what if there is a chance to hold on? Maybe his method worked, maybe my Qing Dynasty sent elite troops to help, and even more perhaps, Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, may also let the river down, after all, he is also singing triumphant songs all the way in Sichuan.
However, those pirate groups did not come after the great victory!
Cai Shiying, the governor of Jiangxi, was speechless for a while, they are really superficial, and they don't know how to chase after victory!
Thanks to the support of old friend yezhongye, gold alliance leader guozhiyin, silver alliance leader book friend ha1846, MM daddy, hippopotamus elephant, and book friend 4221921.
