Chapter 105
He won a small victory in the first battle, repelled the enemy's tentative attack, and wiped out more than a thousand people.

In the eyes of Shen Shuren and Zuo Zixiong, such a record is no longer worth showing off.What they value more is the effect of stabilizing morale in this battle.

I believe that the Ming army is encouraged by this, and there should be no problem if they wait for another ten days and a half months to wait for a turnaround.

After returning to the big tent in the camp, Shen Shuren immediately spread out the map with Zuo Zixiong to plan the follow-up actions.

Even Shen Fu, Lu Datou and other senior senior generals Qian also participated in this kind of temporary and informal military meeting, listened very carefully, and provided some current military information from time to time for the reference of military equipment and the capital.

However, this kind of calmness can only be achieved by those old people who have been with Shen Shuren for more than a year.

On the other side, Zhang Mingzhen, Yang Jinjue and other newly recruited generals were all overjoyed after their withdrawal. They found a few altars of good wine that they had treasured with great difficulty, and rushed to the military tent of the military.

Before Zhang Mingzhen raised the curtain, he hugged the wine jar while walking and shouted: "Master Bing Bei! You are really well-planned and well-planned. You can still be so calm in the face of five or six times the enemy today! Today's battle, my lord can Let the whole army be undisturbed from beginning to end and defeat the enemy calmly! The final general is really convinced!"

Yang Jinjue on the side was also incoherent with excitement: "I'm ashamed, until now, the general dare not lie. When he was first transferred, the general was still a little dissatisfied. Looking back now, I was really deceived by lard!

Your lord governing the army is really strict!Especially those firearms soldiers who were able to be smashed through the wooden wall by the enemy and still not retreat, and dared to use the gun sword to assassinate the enemy in a neat manner, which is really unprecedented!

I have been fighting pirates for seven or eight years, and I have never seen my firearms soldiers dare to fight so close without retreating at all!The original gun sword was simply a decoration!The pirates and pirates rushed to the front and left as deserters long ago!The last general still doubted the usefulness of the adult's practice of the gun sword before, it is really embarrassing! "

The two were so emotional that they spit all over the place, shook the wine bowls, and toasted in front of Shen Shuren. Shen Shuren had no choice but to drink first as a way of saving face, and then ordered the others to drink some too.

Only then did Zhang Mingzhen and Yang Jinjue realize that Zuo Zixiong and the other old men were not excited at all after the battle, and were already calmly thinking about the deployment of the next battle.

Zhang Mingzhen waited in a daze for a while, and finally realized the gap: it turned out that under Shen Shuren's hands, there were almost no losses and more than 1000 enemies were wiped out, so it was not worth celebrating with great fanfare...

The difference!
Zhang Mingzhen rubbed his head embarrassingly: "Your Excellency and your colleagues are really generous and heroic, but they will not make a fuss out of a molehill. Now in the Ming Dynasty, no matter where, it is not worth celebrating to wipe out more than a thousand enemies. What kind of generosity is this..."

Shen Shuren smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "It's okay, you will get used to it in the future, I was indeed negligent today, I should have taken care of the emotions of you newcomers, that's all, let's have a good drink and see you tomorrow morning Discuss military aircraft.

The soldiers were also given extra meals, one tilapia for every four people, and one chicken for every eight people.Then send a quick horse back to the county to report the victory, and get the county magistrate Yan, and let's figure out what to do next.

But remember it!Firearms soldiers are not allowed to drink tonight!Be on guard at night to prevent the camp from being hijacked!But in the next two days, the firearms soldiers can be given two drinks to compensate for the celebration.It's the turn of the other ministries to take turns on duty at night! "

Even when celebrating, Shen Shuren was still very careful, and he must not slack off the basic operations of guarding the camp at night.

All the soldiers cheered for joy, and went to prepare supplies and shouted at others without mentioning it.

Shen Shuren watched the generals disperse, feeling a little uneasy in his heart, and after thinking for a long time, he wrote a note and asked Shen Fu to deal with it, so that the artillery team that is still on the road now also speeds up, and strives to be in place tomorrow——

The Shen family's army has just arrived for a day. The cannons brought from the Zheng family are heavier, and their marching speed must be much slower than that of the infantry, so they are still changing ships at the mouth of the Hanshui River, so there is no chance for today's battle. Appeared, but should be able to arrive tomorrow.

……

Haste makes waste. After the battle, you really need to rest for a night, and then have some wine and meat to relax.

The next day, when they rested till Chen hour, the generals came to the tent of the Chinese army again, and when they asked Shen Shuren for instructions, they found that Shen Shuren got up earlier than them, and only one civil servant, Yan Yingyuan, was waiting on him, and the generals were all later.

It's not that Shen Shuren doesn't get drowsy, it's just that he is more restrained when drinking, unlike those generals who will open up to drink when they are happy.

All the generals quickly felt ashamed, and said some clichés, praising Mr. Bingbei for his diligence.

Shen Shuren just smiled slightly, took a document from Yan Yingyuan's hand, and motioned for the generals to pass it on.The generals saw that they were copied to Mr. Yang Ge and Fang Kongzhao, governor of Huguang, respectively, and the content was nothing more than a victory report.

I wrote down yesterday's gains and battle achievements in detail, and distributed them to each guard and battalion. The calculation of merit is very fair, and it is equivalent to the final count of the number of people in each battalion yesterday.

Those heads that Zuo Zixiong's cavalry swept the battlefield and harvested, and those who were found to have bullet holes and were already dead at that time, were also counted as the corresponding battalion heads of the firecracker team.

Zhang Mingzhen and Yang Jinjue couldn't help admiring the new boss who had just been with them for more than a month, secretly thinking that they must follow the soldiers to do their best and fight for their wives.

It was common for civil officials in the Ming Dynasty to deduct the merits of military generals and receive benefits, resulting in uneven distribution.It is extremely rare for Shen Shuren to be able to not be greedy for credit, to give all to his subordinates, and not to ask for money.

"Where to find a Shangguan like this, we are really lucky. If the bosses of Zuo Liangyu and He Renlong could be so bright and level, I guess they wouldn't be warlords, alas." Thinking about it , Zhang Mingzhen's eyes were moist.

After they quickly wiped their eyes secretly, they remembered something, and while returning the paperwork, they asked for instructions:
"My lord, at the end of the document you sent to Mr. Yang Ge and Governor Fang, you also reported the results of the levy of lijin in Jiangkou Pass in the middle of the month, and said that you would send the first batch of silver. Finally, I figured it out. This is to send Is Mr. Yang Ge or Governor Fang asking for reinforcements?"

It turned out that Shen Shuren's letter contained quite a lot of content. When he came here for reinforcements, Zheng Chenggong had just received three or five days of lijin.

However, counting Shen Shuren's marching and scheduling, and the stalemate here, it took another six or seven days, and the total amounted to more than ten days.And Shen Shuren counted the time of his courier in transit, directly made some fake accounts, and sent all the income of half a month after the lijin levy was launched.

According to the fact that five or six fleets go south to Jiangxi and South Zhili every day, and the same number of fleets go northward, each fleet Zheng Chenggong will receive dozens of taels to more than a hundred taels of lijin.

The provincial boundary waterways between Huangzhou, Jiangxi, and Nanzhili, the total income of lijin for half a month is estimated to be more than 1 taels, and more than 20 taels a year——

This number is also in line with expectations, because Shen Tingyang calculated the accounts for Chongzhen at the beginning, thinking that the three southern provinces will receive about two to three million taels a year for the pilot project.On an equal basis, Huguang, Nanzhili, and Fujian are three places. The lesser province can receive 300 yuan, and the more province can receive nearly one million.

Huguang is considered moderate here, there must be 80 million a year. Shen Shuren only has the tax customs adjacent to Jiangxi and Nanzhili in Huguang, and the tax customs in Henan, Sichuan, Guangdong, Guangxi and other places. Those who practice the law mastered it, so the silver that Shen Shuren handled was equivalent to slightly more than one-third of the lijin in Huguang Province.

Zhang Mingzhen and the others were not fledglings with no experience in officialdom, they knew that if Master Bingbei was eager to report the results as soon as he received the money and sent the money in full, it must be asking for reinforcements.

Shen Shuren didn't hide it from his own people, and directly said the layout he thought of last night: "You guessed well, I think that after the defeat in the first battle yesterday, Er He should not launch an offensive immediately.

The enemy we saw yesterday was indeed only 3 to 6 people. This is not in line with the strength of Erhe from the previous military situation. If the two of them are all dispatched, the total force of [-] to [-] people can be gathered, even if not all come. , There will definitely be rear army reinforcements in the follow-up.

They know that our army's guns are sharp, and they can't take them down by attacking the heart, so they will wait for the rear army slowly, and build attack equipment, and even prepare more formation houses, thick wooden shields, shield carts, etc. It is possible to prepare in three to five days.

Our army will be able to deliver a batch of Hongyi cannons today. I asked Zheng Xiandi’s family to steal them before. I have stolen ten of them in total. Two are left at Zheng Xiandi’s place to guard the Jiangfang checkpoint. I will take two away and leave six. door, stay in our camp.

Zuo Zixiong, after I leave, you will coordinate the whole army.Zhang Mingzhen and Yang Jinjue were responsible for the defense of the left and right battalions respectively. Each of them was divided into three Hongyi cannons, and each guarded the left and right sides of the camp gate.

If the follow-up enemy attack is very fierce, it is necessary to retreat to the county seat and deploy defenses step by step. It is necessary to ensure that all the Hongyi cannons are transported back to the ship in advance, and take the Shishui waterway back to Xiaogan county seat.The thieves come from the upper reaches of the water, so there is no big boat, and it is absolutely impossible for our army's big boat to be intercepted on the water. "

The generals were encouraged by yesterday's small victory, and now they are very confident. Hearing that Shen Shuren's arrangement is so clear, each one of them said that they would stick to it for a while, and let the thief's vigor be completely exhausted first!

Among the crowd, only Yan Yingyuan was a civil servant, and he was relatively careful. He heard Shen Shuren say "I want to take away two cannons", so he quickly asked for confirmation:

"My lord, do you want to go to Jiangling personally to seek help from Governor Fang? To go to Jiangling, even if you travel by Han River and Xia River, it will take more than [-] miles. It may take four days to get there by boat day and night.

If you take the Yangtze River, it will be even farther. You have to go south via Wuchang and Yueyang, which is more than [-] miles.In this way, adults need us to stand alone for at least half a month? "

Shen Shuren nodded: "I believe you, I am a civil servant after all, I have explained the points that should be paid attention to in these tough battles, and the first battle has been won, and now the morale is available, you can handle the follow-up daily military affairs yourself.

Although I don't know if Governor Fang and Mr. Yang Ge have any difficulties, this time Erhe is able to deal with my Huangzhou with all his strength, and I don't worry about other officers and soldiers "surrounding Wei and saving Zhao". What enemy is rising in the direction to contain our friendly forces?

In this case, if I send a random little guy to send a letter to ask for help, others may not agree to it. Only I will do it myself, and the face may be enough. "

The generals heard that his analysis was very reasonable, and immediately expressed their support.It is the duty of warriors like them to guard the camp and the city every day.

"Master Bingbei, please don't worry and ask for help. We will definitely guard this place. With the Hongyi Cannon, even if Erhe's strength is doubled, we will not be afraid!" Zuo Zixiong led everyone to express their determination.
