Nanming Yiming

Chapter 135

After many days of siege, Jinshanwei was finally captured, but at this time the Qing army was not happy.

This battle was really aggrieved. The 5000 Green Battalion under Tang Li's command was used as cannon fodder, and suffered the biggest loss. 6% of the staff was reduced, and only 2000 people remained.

The Mongols are not good at siege, and they usually serve as light cavalry, using their superb archery to provide long-range fire support; Batu is also depressed. Although his tactics are very successful in the early morning, he was first defeated during the daytime siege battle. The Lumi guns of the Ming army fired a round of volleys, and then inexplicably fired a round of naval guns of the Ming army, losing a total of 500 people.

It is unbelievable that the Mongols who performed the cover mission had so many casualties!
Of course, what made Bashan most heartbroken was the casualties of the Manchu Banners. 1000 people attacked, and even half of them were lost.The gunners of the Ming army gave priority to shooting their own Eight Banners warriors, which caused a lot of casualties, and many of them were elite "white armored soldiers" and "red armored soldiers".

When Jin Li's 2000 Manchurian red flags were wiped out by the Ming army, he still thought it was incredible, but now it seems that the Ming army's firearms are really sharp.

Moreover, this Ming army is very cunning, they don't fight you head-on at all, and often set a lot of traps. Fortunately, Tang Li's green battalion is acting as cannon fodder this time, otherwise his Manchurian Eight Banners will suffer a big loss.

Originally, Bashan wanted to continue to attack Jiaxing Mansion after taking down Jinshanwei, and clear all obstacles to Hangzhou before the main force of the Qing army from the south arrived.

After the battle of Jinshanwei, to be honest, he hesitated a little. Now that there are only 6000 troops left, it may be bad luck to attack Jiaxing rashly.

Batu saw Bashan's hesitation, and quickly said: "Lord Dutong, now our army has captured Jinshanwei and driven the Ming army out of Songjiang Mansion. Now don't underestimate the enemy and ask for help from the governor. As long as the reinforcements are in place , we can attack Jiaxing with confidence.”

Bashan also understood what he meant. It seems that this Batu is a rare talent, with a quick brain, brave and resourceful in fighting, much better than Tang Li.

Soon Bashan wrote the document and ordered people to report the victory to Ma Guozhu, the Governor of Liangjiang in Nanjing.

But immediately he realized a very serious problem, how should he stick to Jinshanwei?

If the warships of the Ming army went back and forth and bombed indiscriminately, wouldn't their own troops be damaged here?

At this time, the careful Batu discovered that there were many caves for hiding soldiers under the city wall of Jinshanwei, where soldiers could hide to avoid shells.

However, out of caution, Bashan still decided to keep Tang Li's 2000 Green Battalion in Jinshan Guard, while the remaining 4000 Manchurian Eight Banners were stationed in the big camp in the west of the city, away from the range of the Ming army's naval guns.

Just as the Qing army stormed Jinshanwei, Qian Mo's reinforcements finally gathered outside Jiaxing City.

The 4000 men and horses of the Chongming Camp and the 1000 Iron Armored Army of the Jingnan Camp are all in place, and their morale is high after a night of rest.

The soldiers of the Ming Army outside the camp were full of energy and arranged in a neat square formation.

It is said that Buddha relies on gold clothing, and people rely on clothing.Leaving aside the combat power, the neat uniforms and formations of the Ming army alone gave people a powerful shock.

Especially for the 1000 Iron Armored Army, the morning sun shone on the armor, and there were bursts of cold light, and a sense of murderousness emerged leisurely. At first glance, it was a battle-tested force.

And the 2000 cavalrymen riding on the horses neatly at the side made Qian Mo's eyes shine even more.

Under the gaze of all the soldiers, Qian Mo walked towards the reviewing stand in a suit of silver armor.His handsome face and firm gaze made people feel solemn.

Qian Mo said loudly: "Soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, I know you have many questions in your mind. Why did the Governor transfer you from the front lines of Huizhou and Yanzhou to Jiaxing urgently?"

"I can tell you, because the real decisive battle is about to begin."

"On the tenth day of this month, Li Chengdong announced in Guangdong that he would return to the Ming anyway. Now Guangdong and Guangxi are all owned by our Ming Dynasty. Huguang Governor He Tengjiao has led his troops northward to attack Huguang. Hengzhou, Yongzhou, Chenzhou, and Baoqing have all surrendered. Approaching Changsha Mansion."

"Now is a great time for our Ming Dynasty to fight back in an all-round way and regain the land in the south of the Yangtze River. It is also a perfect opportunity for the athletes in our army to go to battle to kill the enemy and build military merits."

"Today, the governor is here to officially swear to the Northern Expedition. I will lead you on the Northern Expedition. I will take all the way to capture Su and Songfu, and then advance to Jinling and recover the Southern Capital. Do you have confidence?"

During Qian Mo's impassioned speech, all the Ming soldiers shouted, "I am willing to go north with Uncle Zhongyong, conquer Susong, and recover the southern capital!"

For a while, the cry of "conquer Susong, recover the southern capital" echoed in front of the battle!
Even Gu Yanwu, Qian An and the others standing aside clenched their fists and looked extremely excited.

Qian Mo was very satisfied with the state of the Ming army, and waved his hand to signal for everyone to be quiet.

Then he said: "This time the Qing army also came with bad intentions. Dorgon has appointed Zhenghuang Banner Gushan Erzhen Tantai as the general who conquered the South, and led the Manchurian Eight Banners and the Green Camp elite 12 to conquer the south of the Yangtze River. The Manchurian Eight Banners alone have 3 people, whose vanguard has arrived in Nanking."

"According to intelligence, the primary target of the Qing army going south this time is Nanchang. Jin Shenghuan, Duke of Yu, and Wang Deren, Marquis of Jianwu, have led an army of more than 20 troops to Jiujiang and Huizhou, and are ready to fight."

"A few days ago, the governor also led a large army to conquer Huizhou. Our army won a complete victory and completely wiped out the more than 12000 Qing troops under the enemy's Huizhou general Zhang Tianfu and Ningguo general Wang Guodong."

"Now the admiral of West Zhejiang Huang Yu is leading the four battalions of Shenji Battalion, Huizhou Battalion, Jingnan Battalion, and Yanzhou Battalion to garrison Huizhou and Yanzhou. The Huizhou battlefield is sure to be foolproof."

"Although our army has several strongholds in the direction of Jiaxing, the governor is unwilling to sit still and decides to lead you five thousand athletes to the Northern Expedition and meet with the main forces of the Qing army for a while. Are you afraid?"

Hearing that 10,000+ Qing troops went south, it is a lie to say that they are not afraid.But after all, the Chongming Camp and Jingnan Camp are old troops that Qian Mo started from. Although new recruits and even surrendered troops from the Qing army are constantly joining, the atmosphere in the troops is very good.

In particular, the Chongming Camp was formed by Qian Mo's personal guard camp, which was almost equivalent to Qian Mo's "Imperial Forest Army". They had this kind of crazy personality worship for Qian Mo.

In fact, Qian Mo has been anticipating the enemy in every possible way since he started his army.The Chongming camp is almost invincible in every battle, and the cult of personality in this atmosphere is an inevitable result.

Although the Jingnan Battalion did not follow Qian Mo for a long time in the South and North Wars, but in the battle of Si'an Town, they were the first time that the entire Governor's Mansion wiped out a large number of troops from the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia, and they were not afraid of the enemy at all.

Besides, Qian Mo also said that the Qing army's attack direction is Jiangxi, and the Ming army also has more than 20 troops waiting in Jiangxi.

All the soldiers replied loudly: "Kill the enemy and serve the country. We are not afraid of life and death. We are willing to follow Uncle Zhongyong to the north. We will not destroy the southern capital, and we will not withdraw our troops."

Qian Mo said: "1120 years ago, there was an emperor's book boy in Nanliang. He had never been on the battlefield before. The first time he led 7000 soldiers, he conquered cities and plundered land all the way. He defeated 47 enemy cities in 32 battles. , and even more so, defeated the enemy's 30 cavalry with a foot, and directly captured Luoyang, the capital of the enemy's country."

"Anyone know his name?"

The Northern Expedition of 7 soldiers, smashing the enemy's 30 cavalry, and captured the capital of the enemy's country along the way, is this really abnormal?

To be honest, most of these soldiers have no education, and most people know Yue Fei, the Taizu and Emperor Chengzu of this dynasty, and Xu Da and Chang Yuchun in the early Ming Dynasty.At most, including their current commander Zhongyong Bo Qianmo, he is also invincible.

Unexpectedly, such a fierce man appeared in Chinese history.

Just when most people were still wondering who this person was, a voice came over: "I know, it's Chen Qingzhi, a famous Nanliang general, and his white-robed army."

"The enemy army killed by the white-robed general Chen Qingzhi was terrified. At that time, there was a nursery rhyme in Luoyang City, 'Famous teachers and generals should not be in prison, thousands of troops and horses should avoid white robes'."

The story of Chen Qingzhi was known to quite a few people among the generals and schools of the Ming army, so they naturally wouldn't be in a hurry to answer it at a time like this.Only when the soldiers have no answer, they will take action to avoid Qian Mo's embarrassment.

Qian Mo looked at the soldier who answered in the distance and said, "You are right, it is Chen Qingzhi, the white-robed general. Dare I ask if this little brother holds any position in the army?"

The soldier said: "He Zhiyuan, a villain, was originally a Juren of Huzhou Prefecture. He knew some fists and kicks since he was a child. Now he is the chief of Chongming Battalion."

Qian Mo said with a smile: "So you are still a talent with both civil and military skills. The governor has now promoted He Zhiyuan to be a hundred households in the Chongming Camp. I hope you will fight the enemy bravely in the future and don't disappoint the governor's expectations."

Hearing the envious glances from everyone here, He Zhiyuan said excitedly, "Your subordinates must have fought the enemy bravely, and I have repaid Uncle Zhongyong for his kindness."

Qian Mo said: "Chen Qingzhi's 7000 white-robed army defeated the 30 cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty. The governor believes that our 5000 men are no worse than them. We will definitely be able to defeat the Eight Banners of Manchuria and successfully regain the Southern Capital."

"That's why the governor organized you 5000 people into a new white-robed battalion, and Hong Fugui will serve as the commander-in-chief of the white-robed battalion."

"Today, the governor will lead the White Robe Battalion to start the Northern Expedition, and vow not to withdraw the troops if they don't return to the South!"

At this time, the morale of the Ming army had already been ignited by Qian Mo, and they shouted: "If you don't return to Nandu, you will never withdraw!"

Then Qian Mo said to Liu Yichen: "Commander Liu, the intelligence department will spread the news of the Northern Expedition as soon as possible, and it must be known to everyone!"

Although Liu Yichen was very puzzled, he still said loudly: "This subordinate takes orders!"

Then Liu Yichen asked Gu Yanwu beside him in a soft voice: "Mr. Gu, Uncle Zhongyong has always been reluctant to stand out, for fear that he would become the primary target of the Qing army, why did he go out of character today and go out with such a high profile? Isn't he afraid that Tan Tai's main force will come to Hangzhou? ?"

Gu Yanwu said with a smile: "Commander Liu is said to be a roundworm in Uncle Zhongyong's stomach, why don't you understand his intentions today?"

Liu Yichen smiled awkwardly, Qian Mo's mind was always running wild, how could he follow this loyal and brave man's routine, so he cupped his hands and said, "Liu Yichen sincerely asks for advice, Mr. Gu, don't be a fool."

Seeing his sincerity, Gu Yanwu said with a smile, "If Uncle Zhongyong raised tens of thousands of troops to go north and say he wants to take back Nanjing, there is no doubt that Tan Tai's southern expedition army will come to Hangzhou."

"Now that he has raised 5000 troops to go north, neither Tan Tai nor Ma Guozhu will take him too seriously. At most, this kid is really crazy!"

Liu Yichen thought about it again, and this is indeed the truth: 10,000+ troops of the Qing army gathered around Nanjing, and Qian Mo mobilized 5000 troops to go north and said that he would take back Nanjing. In other words, everyone would think that he was exaggerating his reputation and wanted to rescue Jin Shenghuan from Jiangxi. Instead, I feel more at ease.

In fact, it's no wonder that Liu Yichen didn't expect that it was Qian Mo who was full of momentum today, which made everyone feel the same, and he also had the aura of "victorious in all battles".If you ask the Ming army standing here today, at least 100 out of 99 people believe that Qian Mo will lead their 5000 people all the way to Nanjing.

Then Liu Yichen respectfully said to Gu Yanwu: "Thank you sir for your enlightenment!"

At this time, Qian Mo said to Hong Fugui: "Now Bashan is leading the main forces of the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia to besiege Jinshanwei, and the troops in Huating County of Songjiang Prefecture are empty. Hong Zongbing immediately leads the Baipao Battalion to the north and must take down Huating before noon today. Remember This is the first battle of our army's Northern Expedition, so we must fight it well."

Huating is the prefecture of Songjiang. The city itself is not small, with a circumference of 14 miles. There are one land gate and one water gate in the east, west, south and north.

There were many cannons in red on the city, which was originally an important town to resist the Ming army. Unfortunately, these cannons were all transferred by Bashan to attack Jinshanwei at this time, and there were only 2000 green battalions in the city.

When the defenders saw thousands of Ming troops appearing outside the Guyang Gate, their jaws dropped in shock.After all, Bashan led an army of 1 to attack Jinshanwei. At this time, they never dreamed that the Ming army would dare to appear under the city of Huating.

Jiaxing and Huating are connected by water, and the 12 cannons of the Ming army were smoothly transported directly to the city of Huating by boat.

Soon eight 8-pound cannons were erected.

Hong Fugui was originally a rough man, but after all, he followed Qian Mo's side to read and see, and now he has learned the trick of persuading him to surrender.He knows that persuading the opponent to surrender is difficult to make the opponent surrender directly, but it can damage the morale of the enemy.

So Liu Yichen volunteered and went to the city to persuade the Qing army to surrender. He shouted: "On the tenth day of this month, Li Chengdong, the admiral of Guangdong and Guangxi, returned to Ming anyway, and now Guangdong and Guangxi have returned to my rule. Uncle Zhongyong Qian Mo, governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, honored Emperor Yongli The imperial edict officially led the army to the Northern Expedition; why don't you leave the city and surrender?"

It's a pity that Qian Mo only asked him to talk about the northern expedition of the 5000 white-robed army. At this time, Liu Yichen didn't dare to bluff and say that tens of thousands of troops besieged the city.

Seeing that the Qing army on the city did not respond, Liu Yichen could only continue to fool around and said: "Don't count on Bashan, the giant ships of our Daming Zhejiang Navy have already blown the Qing army outside Jinshanwei to pieces. If you don't surrender again, Just wait to go to Huangquan Road to reunite with him."
