Chapter 355: The Central Capital Garrison Division and the New Firearms Law

After all the departments and yamen in Ningbo were working normally, the materials of the entire eastern Zhejiang began to gather in Ningbo, and commerce and trade flourished again.

The life of the people in the city is also the same, and the soldiers have no offense with them, and the relationship is even harmonious.

Ningbo maritime merchants were even more happy, the Huaxia Army opened up the Yinjiang River water transport, and their maritime trade business also resumed.

In addition, these people had dealt with Eastern Qin, so they all came to Anshan, as if they regarded him as the general army of Eastern Qin in Ningbo.

Ansan was also happy to deal with these merchants, and told them that the opening of the Ming Dynasty to trade was a foregone conclusion, and the Eastern Qin cabinet was discussing the matter.

The dust will settle as soon as next year, when the war will be over and everyone will be able to do business happily.

Such a promise made these businessmen ecstatic, and Yang Shousui personally promised that as long as the port was opened in Ningbo, they would definitely give full support to them.

In this way, the Huaxia Army won the support of the people and merchants in Ningbo, and all kinds of food and materials could be easily obtained.

According to the information gathered, Ansan waited for Liu Daxia to complete the gathering of troops, as long as the Ming army in Nanzhili was fully mobilized, then the next stage of the operation would be extremely smooth.

……

At the end of December of the third year of Huaxia, the garrison of the 5,000 Central Capital Garrison Division finally arrived in Hangzhou.

The leader of the troops was Zhang Angju, the general of Zhaoyi, a descendant of Zhang Yu, the Duke of Rongguo, and in addition to the 4,000 foot soldiers, there were 800 cavalry.

These 5,000 soldiers are fully equipped with armor and full of energy, as if they are not comparable to the guards of the guards.

Among them, most of the generals are from good families, so they have not done too much to deduct military salaries.

In addition, Fengyang is the location of the ancestral tomb of the royal family, so naturally the imperial court also relies on it more.

This is also a rare strong army in the entire southeast half of the wall!

Emperor Hongzhi was willing to take it out, which showed that he really felt that he was endangering the country, and he was afraid that the Huang people would wreak havoc in Zhejiang, so he was busy transferring the elite and preparing to find some ground.

was attacked by a group of overseas barbarians Liankezhou County, the blow to the prestige of the Ming Dynasty was very big, if this news spread all over the world, I am afraid that all tributary countries will be eye-to-eye with the Eastern Qin.

Therefore, the Chinese military forces of the DPRK have faintly regarded eastern Zhejiang as a battle of life and death, and if they are no longer victorious, they will also mobilize troops to fight against the people.

Because the merchants sent by the imperial court to inquire about the wind failed to reach Mocheng, which shows that the king has been carried away by the easy victory, and he will never open his mouth for peace talks if he does not lose for a while!

Zhang Angju sat on a high-headed horse and entered Hangzhou City, Liu Daxia and Zhejiang Sansi finally had a smile on their faces.

At present, more than 15,000 troops have been gathered, and with this elite, there are a full 20,000 troops.

The imperial court not only withheld the taxes of the three southeastern provinces, but also allocated 500,000 taels of silver, just to thwart the offensive of the Huang people in eastern Zhejiang, and it was best to recover some lost territory.

"The little grandfather is here, and Bendu is relieved!" As soon as Zhang Angju got off the horse, Liu Daxia smiled and said.

The rest of the officials also said some flattering words, they don't like the children of the powerful and martial artists on weekdays, but at this moment, they wish there were more such martial artists.

Zhang Angju was flattered, and hurriedly replied: "Your Excellency is polite, this trip will be ordered to expel the Duren, and I hope that your lords, take care of one or two!"

"It's nature!" Liu Daxia made a gesture of please.

Zhang Angju walked side by side with him, and along the way he had heard about the situation in eastern Zhejiang, and knew that the people were arrogant, and the military spirit of Liankezhou County and the entire eastern Zhejiang had also been defeated.

Some people say that there are 30,000 people, some people say 100,000 people, and some people say that there are only more than 10,000 people.

However, it should be more accurate than more than 10,000 people, because the Ming army engaged in the battle with the Tu people had never seen a large-scale formation of the Tu soldiers, and they were all hundreds of people acting together.

"Your Excellency the Governor, what's going on with the Dead at the moment?"

"Alas, after taking Ningbo, they were stuck in Ningbo and did not attack, but the entire Yinjiang line has been impregnated, and even Ningbo maritime merchants have begun to do business!"

"Oh, that's hard to deal with!"

"No!" Liu Daxia smiled and said: "A small group of soldiers have been snooping around, and from time to time they go to the countryside to rob the gentry, as long as we seize the opportunity, we can still encircle and annihilate one!"

Zhang Angju nodded, and said with a somewhat heavy face: "The people are really as strong as the rumors?"

Liu Daxia thought about it, took Zhang Angju to the head of Hangzhou, patted a breech-loading 75 cannon and said: "This cannon was purchased by the governor from the Huang people, and there is also this long gun called arquebus."

As he spoke, he asked the soldiers to drill, and when he saw a breech gun, which had finished firing five guns in less than a quarter of an hour, Zhang Angju was stunned.

Liu Daxia smiled bitterly and said: "The firearms of the people are a hundred times sharper than these two things!" Dinghai and Ningbo were both broken under the bombardment of the black people! Therefore, holding on to the city is the way to death, and at present, only by seizing the opportunity and fighting in the field can it be possible to annihilate a group of black people, and also capture some black firearms! ”

Zhang Angju nodded solemnly and said, "That's right!" If this is the case, defending the city is waiting for the cannons of the people to bombard! ”

Liu Daxia sighed: "In the matter of utensils, this governor still admires the Huang people, but he has a sharp weapon to kill everywhere, the Huang people have such sharp weapons, and they will eventually become troubled, after this battle, no matter what, I Da Ming have to reward craftsmen and pay attention to firearms, otherwise the next time the Huang people come again, my Da Ming will have no power to fight back!"

Zhang Angju deeply agreed: "I have 800 cavalry on this trip, I don't know if I can restrain the firearms of the black people?"

Liu Daxia said: "After the arquebus is fired, it needs to be reloaded before it can be fired again, and the same is true for the Tyroscope, but it should be loaded faster!" As long as the cavalry can reach within 100 paces, it can be killed in front of the people in an instant! ”

Zhang Angju was silent for a while, he felt that things were not so simple, if the cavalry charged directly, instead of breaking the formation, then it was bound to be unable to exert its power, and he was only 800 cavalry, what he should do was to turn into a surprise soldier and suddenly kill.

"Then what are the next plans for the Governor?" Zhang Angju didn't want to ask more, and many things had to be known only after fighting.

Liu Daxia stroked his beard and said: "The place of the stable mountain guards the waterway, if the people of the Yellow Army march, they will pass here!" These days, the people have plundered the gentry in the countryside and have arrived in Cixi, and I believe that as long as the people are more arrogant, the fighters will appear soon! ”

Zhang Angju has some confidence in his heart, since he has already made arrangements, he is bound to be able to get some opportunities.

"Also, Ben Du has prepared two thousand arquebuses for the little grandfather, the archers in your army can practice one or two, and the old man has found that arquebuses with bows and arrows can achieve miraculous results!"

Zhang Angju was overjoyed in his heart, with such sharp firearms in his hands, he could be regarded as earning this trip.

Liu Daxia is also extremely powerful, after controlling Shaoxing pig iron, he organized craftsmen here to make arquebuses and breech guns.

It turned out that the arquebuses and cannons built here were actually more difficult to blow up and had a longer range.

This made him feel like a treasure, and immediately organized craftsmen to build it for several months.

According to his idea, as long as he has an advantage, such as an ambush, as long as the Tyrant is within his range, then the arquebus may not be able to defeat the Tyrant's long gun.

…………

A few days later, after receiving the wind and washing the dust, Zhang Angju led the army into the stable mountain.

This place is not far from Cixi, and guards the waterway, Liu Daxia has ordered people to build this place into a water village.

If the people want to attack Shaoxing, then they must use troops here.

Liu Daxia's idea is very simple, that is, to spread scouts widely, as soon as he finds the vanguard of the black people, he will immediately mobilize heavy troops to surround and annihilate them, as long as he can inflict heavy damage and capture a batch of black firearms, it will be regarded as a big victory.

Zhang Angju carefully observed the surrounding situation, and after getting acquainted with it, he hid the cavalry in a valley, and divided the 5,000 army, with 15,000 miscellaneous soldiers, into zigzag defenses, and let the miscellaneous soldiers act as cannon fodder.

After everything was arranged, it was time to start training at the stable mountain.

The method of practice came from Liu Daxia, who, after several months of pondering and inspiration from the formation of the black people, compiled a book entitled "New Law on Firearms".

The specific tactic was that the arquebusiers were paired with pikemen, in a looser formation, with breech guns on both sides.

After practicing for a while, Zhang Angju found this tactic extremely effective.

The arquebus also has a longer range than a one-stone bow, not to mention that when shooting, it doesn't take too much effort.

An untrained foot soldier can master the firing of an arquebus with a little practice.

But if an archer doesn't practice for three or five years, he can't shoot a few arrows at all, and he will have to run out.

Firearms are even more powerful!
