Chapter 180: Du Wenhuan
led the army to continue all the way north, and after Suide was Mizhi County, the hometown of King Li Zicheng. Here, Wang Zhi met the remnants of Wang Zishun.
Wang Zishun was booby-trapped by Hong Chengchou because he was restless and wanted to rebel in Suide, because he wanted to fight against Wang Zhi's army, Hong Chengchou did not send troops to chase and kill the remnants of Wang Zishun, so they ran north to Mizhi, intending to take refuge in some rogues in the north, but they were caught up by Wang Zhi's army in Mizhi.
Needless to say, these thieves who can't even beat the officers and soldiers are naturally the opponents of the Wang family's army, and they can be called crushed, after killing these hardcore thieves, Wang Zhi continued all the way to the north, this time he didn't even fight in Mizhi County, because he didn't plan to garrison troops here. The management of the huge Yulinwei requires a large number of people, and with the remaining thousands of people under his command, he can no longer divide the troops at will, otherwise there will be no one under Yansui Town.
Continuing to the north, the army entered the boundary of Jiazhou, the first stop was Jiazhou City, the boundary of Jiajia County, because the army here was summoned to Suide by Hong Chengchou, so it did not encounter any decent resistance, just used any gate to send a battalion of troops into the city, and easily opened the city gate, and all the civil and military officials were captured.
Following the method of treating Suide, Wang Zhi first raided the large grain merchants here, and after leaving four companies of troops here, he continued all the way north.
Out of the boundary directly under the jurisdiction of Jiazhou City is Shenmu County, but as soon as he arrived in Shenmu County, Wang Zhi encountered a Ming army, with a total of more than 5,000 people, and before he figured out who the other party was, Wang Zhi directly ordered an attack, anyway, they could not be their own people.
It was a battle without suspense, or rather rather a battle that should not be called a battle, but a one-sided slaughter. The enemy's Ming generals still have some skills. It's artillery and tanks again. However, against the group of Wang Jiajun, they could only kneel.
After the battle was over, after the enemy general was captured, Wang Zhi knew which army they were, they were the troops led by Du Wenhuan to Fugu County to fight Wang Jiayin, the largest group of rogue at this time, but they met Wang Zhi in Shenmu County, and then knelt.
Du Wenhuan is a person, Wang Zhi knows. In northern Shaanxi during this period, in the Ming military system, there were only three people who could make Wang Zhi write down his name: Yang He, Hong Chengchou and this Du Wenhuan.
Yang He can be remembered by Wang Zhi because of the official university, Hong Chengchou is because the official will be big in the future, only this Du Wenhuan, he is a military attaché, the official is not very big, and his reputation is not obvious, but his merits are enough for Wang Zhi to remember him.
Du Wenhuan, a Guerrilla General of Li Yansui. Progressive staff general, deputy commander-in-chief. In the forty-third year of Wanli, he was promoted to the governor of Ningxia and the chief military officer of Ningxia. Yan Sui was cowardly. Wen Huan went to the rescue and broke it. Next year, then the acting official Bingzhong Zhen Yansui. Repeatedly defeated Kou Anbian, Baoning, and Changle, and beheaded 300 strangers. The fire on the west road fell red, the propagation was too afraid, and the phase rate fell. Sha counted the thieves, and was defeated by Wen Huan, so he paid the money. After recovering with Ji Neng and Caritas, he was stationed at Gaojia and Berlin, and wanted to be crowned king and rewarded ten things. Wen Huan attacked his camp and beheaded one hundred and fifty. The tribes of Huoluo Red swore an oath and offered a penalty of ninety-nine. Ninety-nine, the number of camels, horses, cattle and sheep in the tribe is also fine. Already, Sha Ji ambushed the sand ditch again, booby-trapped the commander Wang Guo'an, corrected Meng Keshi to commit Shuangshan Fort, and re-attacked Polo. Wen Huan broke it and chased for more than 20 miles. When it was, the number was 100,000. However, its crowd is divided into forty-two branches, most of them are two or three thousand, and less than a thousand horses, and they have repeatedly failed to do so. Sha Ji Nai and Ji Neng, Caritas, and Meng Keshili paid money one after another, and Yan Sui did little trouble.
In the first year of the Apocalypse, the town was postponed. Zhao Wenhuan aided Liao, and Wenhuan sent troops out of the Hetao, smashed the nest to Kou, and hated the department. Extravagant Chongming besieged Chengdu, and the governor Zhang I continued to ask Ling Wenhuan to come to the rescue. At the end of the siege, the siege was lifted, and the army returned to Chongqing. Chongming escaped Yongning, and Wen Huan did not advance. Looking for the prime minister, he will command the Sichuan, Guizhou, and Huguang armies. You can't control the thief, thank you for your illness. Sitting on the crime of Yansui wreck, on the side. Seven years, starting from Ningxia. Ning and Jin warned the police, Zhao Wenhuan rushed to help, and the Russian order was divided into Ningyuan. In the first year of Chongzhen, he recorded Chongqing's merits and commanded the affairs. In three years, the Shaanxi group of thieves started, and the five towns were in charge of the king. Governor Yang He asked Wenhuan to extend the town affairs and supervise the original army. The number of thieves is defeated, and the number of thieves is increasing. The general army of Huishanxi Kingdom Liang attacked Wang Jiayin in the river meander, was defeated, and the thieves entered the city.
Du Wenhuan's exploits are mostly reflected in the fight against the Tartars and the suppression of rebellions, and the official road is also up and down, he has held high positions many times, and has been deposed many times, but once there is a thief rebellion, the court will think of him and reinstate him, which is also an affirmation of his ability. This kind of person belongs to the capable person recognized by Wang Zhi.
If Wang Zhi's ** index for recruiting Hong Chengchou is only one, then the ** index for recruiting him is as much as five, so as soon as Du Wenhuan, whose hands were tied behind his back, was pressed into the tent, Wang Zhi immediately made a polite corporal appearance, and said to the left and right: "Don't hurry up and loosen the tie for General Du Bing, and then go and move a stool." ”
- Du Wenhuan's position at this time is almost the appearance of the acting chief soldier, in the northern Shaanxi region, he is the head of the military attaché.
Hearing Wang Zhi's order, the soldiers who pressed him in hurriedly untied him, but they still stared at him, worried that he would make any offensive moves.
After being loosened, Du Wenhuan first moved his muscles and bones, and then sat down on the stool brought by the soldiers, staring at Wang Zhi: "I don't know which of the two kings Your Excellency is?" ”
The so-called two kings are the name of the people at that time for the largest thief Wang Jiayin in the early stage of the peasant uprising in the late Ming Dynasty, Wang Jiayin was the most powerful and famous thief in northern Shaanxi at this time, and the first to revolt Baishui Wang Er also led the crowd to defect to Wang Jiayin, so they were combined into two kings.
Before Du Wenhuan and Wang Jiajun met, the tanma of the two sides had already discovered each other's existence, and the purpose of Wang Zhi's northward trip was to eliminate all armed forces that were not his own, and he found that such a Ming army naturally took the initiative to meet it; And Du Wenhuan saw that the Wang family army was hanging with the Wangzi flag, thinking that it was the team of the "two kings", and he also greeted it directly, so that there would be a later encounter between the two sides.
"Erwang, do you mean Wang Jiayin? Are they in New Valley County now? Wang Zhi asked, as the most powerful thief at present, Wang Jiayin was also within his target of annihilation.
Hearing this, Du Wenhuan reacted and asked, "You are not the second king, who are you?" "In addition to the two kings, how can such a big force emerge in northern Shaanxi?
"I'm Yanchang Wang Zhi, don't you know me?" Wang Zhi originally thought that his existence was not a secret in northern Shaanxi, but he didn't expect that the head of the military attache here didn't know him, was it because he was too weak in the eyes of outsiders to be noteworthy?
"You are the Yanchang Bandits, some time ago I received an order from Lord Hong, ordering me to lead troops to Suide to encircle and suppress the Yanchang Bandits, and you have already arrived at Shenmu." Du Wenhuan's eyes widened, he had just received the order some time ago, and he was about to go to Suide, the thief army that was going to be encircled and suppressed had already arrived in Shenmu, and the speed of this march was too fast!
If Wang Zhi knew Du Wenhuan's thoughts at this time, he would definitely say that it was not that I was too fast, but that you were too slow, but he stayed on the road for almost ten days.
If Du Wenhuan knew Wang Zhi's thoughts, he would also say that Lao Tzu went to fight Wang Jiayin first before he was ready to go to Suide for reinforcements, slow down!
"General Du, the Lord Hong in your mouth, was captured alive by our army when he was in Suide, because he refused to surrender, he was put in prison, and now he should be executed after the review, do you plan to follow in his footsteps, or surrender?"
Hearing this, Du Wenhuan was shocked and said: "Impossible, Lord Hong has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, and he can defend the city, how can you capture Lord Hong alive, do you think I will believe such a clumsy lie?" ”
"10,000 soldiers and horses, heh~" Wang Zhi smiled, his expression was full of disdain: "General Du, don't forget how long it took me to defeat your 5,000 soldiers and horses, not a quarter of an hour, do you think it will take me two quarters of an hour to defeat Hong Chengchou's 10,000 soldiers and horses?" ”
Hearing this, Du Wenhuan remembered the scene of his guards being torn apart by that strange firecracker, and his face immediately showed a frightened expression, five thousand soldiers and horses, less than a quarter of an hour of fighting, the whole army was scattered, none of them escaped, the moment he was captured alive, Du Wenhuan understood why the other party's stragglers stretched the front so long at the beginning of the battle, and it turned out that he was planning to catch turtles in the urn from the beginning!
"Now I ask you, do you surrender?"
"A certain official of the imperial court, who has received the emperor's grace, how can he surrender to traitors such as you." Du Wenhuan said righteously.
Generally speaking, the generals who can fight are loyal and righteous, Wang Zhi also expected his reaction, if Yang He, Hong Chengchou and others said this kind of thing, Wang Zhi would directly let people pull them down for review, but I said before that Wang Zhi wanted to recruit Du Wenhuan's ** index is five, so he has the patience to say a few more words, first of all, it is a strategy of differentiation.
"Du Zongbing said that he was deeply favored by the emperor, but as far as I know, Du Zongbing worshiped the Ningxia General Soldier during the Wanli period, but now he is still a generation of General Soldier, during the ups and downs, once there is a wartime, the court needs Du Zongbing when you recruit you to lead the troops, but the thief Kou Yiping, you don't need to be replaced, just deduct a crime from you and cut the official to the post, is this the emperor's grace you received? In the first year of the Apocalypse, General Du was ordered to relieve the siege of Chengdu, at this time, the Tartars entered the Kou, Yansui was wrecked, you were clearly ordered to go to Chengdu, but the charge of the Yansui wreck was put on your head, and then you were sent to the border, is this also the emperor's grace? ”
"Thunder, rain and dew, all are gentle." Du Wenhuan is still stubborn.
"Okay, don't give me Jun'en, your refusal to surrender is nothing more than that you feel that following me as a thief has no future, and you are also worried about the old and young in the family, but you are a person in the army, you should see it clearly, even if the Qi family army is resurrected and faces off, can you hold out for half an hour in front of my army? With my strength, it is only a matter of time before I sweep the world. "If you can't divide yourself, you can only coerce and lure.
"I admit that your strange firearms are indeed sharp, but it is impossible for grain and grass to appear out of thin air, and you don't even have a state now, so how can you sweep the world." Du Wenhuan was a little relieved, he knew that it was not difficult for the machine gun to dominate the world, but in order to raise his net worth, he still had to be reserved.
Wang Zhi's political points were less than five, and he didn't hear the meaning of his words, so he immediately impatiently took out a history of the Ming Dynasty and handed it to a herald next to him: "Turn to Yang He's biography and read it to him." (To be continued.) )
