Nanming Yiming

Chapter 161 Jiangxi Mutation
Qian Mo was very worried about the situation in Huzhou. When the rain was a little lighter, he led 2500 Mongolian cavalry to Huzhou City.

He also never imagined that after this sudden change, Shi Tingzhu's [-] troops who invaded Huzhou were completely wiped out.
Moreover, the casualties of the Ming army were not large.

Weng Zhiheng and Wu Qi are also very proud of this, and now they have created a brilliant record of annihilating [-] Qing troops in World War I.

In particular, these 2 people are [-] Manchu Eight Banners and [-] Han Army Banners, and there is not a single Green Battalion.

The two veterans of the Governor's Mansion finally showed their faces, and knocked back all the previous voices of doubt.

Qian Mo also highly affirmed this.He even gritted his teeth and gave an extra reward of 10 taels of silver to each of the Taihu Battalion and Tianmu Battalion soldiers in Si'an Town who participated in the Huzhou Destroyer War. Other soldiers who participated in the defense of the city also received 5 taels of silver.

The other generals were also given corresponding rewards and promotions, and Wu Qi was directly promoted by Qian Mo to be the deputy admiral of Northern Zhejiang.

After the flood, there must be a great plague.As a person of later generations, Qian Mo knows best that if these corpses are not cleaned up in time and the water source is disinfected, it will easily cause a major epidemic.

At this time, he was more concerned about the epidemic prevention work in Huzhou. If he didn't pay attention, the epidemic caused by the heavy rain would be no less than a large-scale massacre of the city by the Qing army.

So it was ordered that the corpses of humans and animals must be cleaned up in time inside and outside Huzhou, and buried with lime for disinfection.Especially the water source must not be polluted. For this reason, he brought some doctors and medicinal materials from Hangzhou.

The government provided free "boiled water" throughout Huzhou, urging the local people not to drink unboiled water.

Qian Mo directly reduced Huzhou's taxes this year, and asked the Hangzhou Fan Treasury to allocate 20 taels of silver to Ma Li for disaster relief and reconstruction work.

Qian Mo said: "Prefect Ma, after the disaster, the Huzhou government came forward to lend grain and money to the people in need, so as to prevent profiteers from taking the opportunity to annex the people's land at a low price. If the people really need to sell the land, the government can also buy it at a normal price."

Huzhou government's disaster relief is not free, and it is still necessary to give a few meals of porridge.After that, people who are short of money and food can use their fields to mortgage money and food from the government; if you have no property to mortgage, then work hard for the government, and the government will arrange corresponding jobs for you according to your actual situation.

Under Qian Mo's rule, it is impossible for you to eat and drink for free. Even if you are too old to do heavy work, you can always help organize things and do some simple handicrafts.

If you really can't even walk, why should the government waste food on you?

Qian Mo couldn't help but lamented that the money was really not enough, and the 50 taels collected from Ma Degong was gone in a blink of an eye.

With the end of the Qing battle, the heavy rain gradually stopped, and everyone finally saw the long-lost sunshine.

The Ming army searched everywhere for the single Qing army who had slipped through the net, and gave them a make-up.

At this time, Jingai Mountain was full of cold dead bodies and dying Qing troops.

A large number of Qing army prisoners are digging large pits under the supervision of the Ming army.

Qian Mo said: "These corpses must be disposed of in time. Those weak Qing soldiers were buried together. We don't have any extra medicinal materials to feed these wastes."

Hearing what Qian Mo said, Batu beside him couldn't help but shudder.

Qian Mo saw that he wanted to say something, but he seemed hesitant to speak.Asked: "General Batu, do you have anything to say?"

Batu said: "The last general dares to ask the Duke of Yue, can our Mongolian battalion incorporate these Manchurian Eight Banners?"

Qian Mo understood Batu's desire to expand his troops, so he waved his hand and said, "The Eight Banners of Manchuria are not working for the governor's government out of sincerity. Now Tianmu Mountain needs a large number of miners, and the governor will not waste their labor, and will send them to Tianmu Mountain To do hard work."

Batu said: "In fact, these Manchurian Eight Banners are not all Jianzhou Jurchens, and many of them are not even Jurchens. Many of them are Saurons from the Heilongjiang Valley; these people are real warriors, unparalleled in riding and shooting, they Most of them were forcibly taken into the flag by the Manchurians."

"Among the captives this time, there is a co-leader named Wen Luotu and the general is old, and the general is sure to persuade him to work for the governor's office."

Batu's suggestion caught Qian Mo's eyes instantly. He knew that these Saurons were responsible for the armed forces of the Eight Banners. He didn't expect these people to kill many enemies for him. What he wanted was the symbolic meaning of the surrender of the Eight Banners. .

Just like the Mongols under Batu, as long as they stand there, everyone will know that they have won the Eight Banners of Manchuria, which is why Qian Mo didn't change their uniforms for them.

So Qian Mo decided to let Batu have a try. After all, they were also the first batch of Manchurian Eight Banners to be captured. The previous Manchurian Eight Banners would rather die than surrender.

Qian Mo only thought that they were forced to surrender because he was sick and unable to escape, but he didn't expect that there were such inside stories.

Finally, under Batu's persuasion, Wen Luotu led 300 Saurons to join the Mongolian camp.

The remaining 1700 Han army flags were all sent to Tianmu Mountain to do hard work. These free labors are not in vain.

Liu Yichen said: "This Shi Tingzhu refuses to surrender, how should we deal with it?"

Qian Mo knew that Shi Tingzhu's ancestors were originally from the Guerjia family in Manchuria, but only later went to Liaodong and changed his surname to Shi. His family has already been deeply bound to the Qing Dynasty. His son Shi Huashan also married Duoduo's daughter. It is impossible to surrender.

So he said: "This Shi Tingzhu is also the banner owner of the Zhengbai Banner of the Han Army, so let's escort it to Emperor Yongli, and let the ministers of the Southern Ming Dynasty know about the 'Huzhou Great Victory' of the Governor's Mansion."

When the Ming army was victorious in Huzhou, the battle in Jiangxi also reached a feverish stage. Because the heavy rain had limited impact on Jiangxi, the fighting there did not stop.

The Ming army in Jiangxi took advantage of the Yangtze River Navy and continued to support Peng Ze from waterways, causing the Qing army attacking Peng Ze to be attacked by the Ming army from two directions.

Several times, the Qing army had almost captured the top of Pengze, but the Ming army's navy fired directly from the rear, blocking the follow-up forces of the Qing army, so that those Qing troops who attacked the top of the city were isolated and helpless. The Ming army was driven down.

What's even more exasperating is that the Ming army has the advantage of the waterway and constantly sends reinforcements to Peng Ze, resulting in a steady stream of Ming army troops that cannot be exhausted at all.

After repeated setbacks, He Luohui soon discovered that Peng Ze was not important; although his position was dangerous, he could be bypassed.

Soon he shifted the target of the attack to Hukou, an important town of Poyang Lake. Hukou is an important channel connecting Poyang Lake and the Yangtze River, known as the key to Jiujiang.

As long as it is occupied here, it will not only strangle Poyang Lake, but also open the passage to Jiujiang. As long as the mouth of the lake is in hand, Peng Ze's gains and losses are not so important.

For this reason, the Qing army mobilized 7 cannons in red clothes, bombarded the city day and night, and finally collapsed a section of the city wall at the mouth of the lake after besieging for [-] days.

The Ming army guarding the city was also extremely brave. While facing Jiujiang, they fought fiercely with the Qing army.

The battle went on for a whole day and night, and the two sides were in a state of anxiety. In order to break the deadlock, He Luohui directly threw the Manchuria inlaid white flag. The 2 Ming troops guarding Hukou broke out, and most of them were killed or captured.

Wang Deren was also shocked when he heard that Hukou was in an emergency. He understood the significance of Hukou and personally led an army of 5 to support it.As a result, an encounter battle was held at Nanhuzui with 1 people from the Liu Liangzuo Department of the Qing Army who explored the way first.

This Wang Deren, nicknamed "Wang Zamao", was the most valiant in battle. Although he was already the Marquis of Jianwu in the Southern Ming Dynasty, he still took the lead and personally led the charge.

Hearing that the opposite was Liu Liangzuo, he shouted: "'Hua Ma Liu', how dare you fight me for three hundred rounds?"

When Liu Liangzuo saw that "Wang Zamao" personally led the troops to charge, and the Ming army had so many troops, he immediately became timid.

The terrain of Nanhuzui is narrow, and the troops can't use it at all.There is a saying that when encountering a narrow road, the brave wins. The Qing army had few troops. Liu Liangzuo hesitated again, and once they fought, they quickly lost the upper hand.

Coupled with the fact that the Ming army also had naval assistance from the side, Liu Liangzuo's troops were quickly defeated, and the battlefield was covered with corpses of the Qing army.

In the end, 1 horses lost 2000 people, and Liu Liangzuo fled back to Hukou with only [-] people.

The naval warships of the Ming army wanted to take the opportunity to block the mouth of Nanhu Lake and prevent the Qing army from crossing Poyang Lake.But at this time the Qing army had already occupied Hukou, and they used the heavy artillery of Hukou City to engage in artillery battles with the Ming army navy.

In the end, although the navy of the Ming army could not completely block the mouth of Poyang Lake, they continued to cruise around the mouth of Nanhu Lake to prevent the Qing army from smuggling.

Although Wang Deren won the Qing army for a while, the fall of Hukou has become an established fact.

Now that the Qing army has a large number of troops, he thought twice and felt that it would be difficult to recapture Hukou; but he was really unwilling to return to Jiujiang. Although Jiujiang City could be defended, if He Luo would divide his troops to attack Nanchang, he would be helpless.

Although there are Nankang Mansion and Jianchang Mansion in the south of Jiujiang River, these mansions are empty of troops, and there are not many soldiers at all. Even Nanchang Mansion has only 2 people.

Just when Wang Deren was in a dilemma, a soldier came to report: "Report to Marquis Jianwu, something is wrong, the Qing army has occupied Ruichang!"

Wang Deren suddenly felt incredible, and asked: "Ruichang is located on the west side of Jiujiang, and they occupy the mouth of Nanhu Lake by themselves. How did the Qing army get around it?"

The soldier said, "It's not the Qing army under He Luohui, it's from Wuchang."

Wang Deren understood that Kong Youde and others must have carried out a sneak attack from behind.

At this moment, he couldn't hesitate at all. Now that Nanchang is empty, if the Qing army goes straight to Nanchang, then even if he sticks to Jiujiang, it will become meaningless.

Wang Deren quickly made a decision and ordered Wu Shiqi, the prefect of Jiujiang, to lead the remaining 1 Ming troops to guard the important town of Jiujiang.

He himself directly led 5 people to retreat to Nanchang to ensure that Nanchang was not lost.

After receiving the news that Wang Deren was retreating to Nanchang, He Luohui laughed and said, "Wang Deren is brave and foolhardy. King Gongsun just captured Ruichang, and he was so scared that he led his army back to Nanchang overnight."

What Wang Deren didn't know was that now that the battle in Changsha was tense, Kong Youde only sent 5000 soldiers and horses to make a false shot. After occupying Ruichang, they withdrew to Huguang.

After nearly a month of fierce fighting, the 6 Qing troops led by Heluohui finally arrived at the city of Jiujiang.

Although Jiujiang is the gateway to Jiangxi, the city defense is strong, but there is a huge difference in the strength of the two sides.

Although Wu Shiqi, the prefect of Jiujiang, led the army and the people to resist desperately, after two days of persistence, the Qing army broke the city.

The fall of Jiujiang led to the opening of Jiangxi's gate. Wang Deren hurriedly withdrew the soldiers, horses, food and grass of Nankang Mansion and Jianchang Mansion to Nanchang.

Three days later, the Qing army occupied Nankang Mansion and Jianchang Mansion one after another, and troops approached the city of Nanchang.

However, at this time, the Ming army still held 1 troops in Pengze.

After gathering the defenders of the various prefectures, Wang Deren led an army of 8 to sit in Nanchang City.

He Luohui originally had an army of 9, but lost 2 horses in several battles. In addition to besieging Peng Ze, as well as the troops left behind in Hukou and Jiujiang, even though he raided the city of Nanchang at this time, there were only 5 horses. up.

The so-called end of the crossbow can't penetrate Lu Jin, facing the tall city walls of Nanchang, he can only look at the city and sigh!
At the beginning of the "Battle of Hongdu", Zhu Wenzheng used tens of thousands of people to withstand the successive attacks of Chen Youliang's 60 troops by relying on this Nanchang city, and made a great contribution to Zhu Yuanzhang's final determination of the world. It can be seen that the strength of this Nanchang city .

So He Luohui had no choice but to ask Tan Tai for more troops.

The sudden heavy rain in northern Zhejiang and southern Anhui caused a major change in the battlefield situation, and Tan Tai's attack on Huizhou came to a complete standstill.

The troops who attacked Qimen and Yixian County had all returned to the territory of Ningguo Mansion. Although the city of Huizhou was not broken, fortunately, the casualties were not large. Only 5000 green camps were lost, and 5 main forces remained.

However, there was no news of the 2 horses attacking Huzhou.

Earlier, it was reported that Shi Tingzhu lost thousands of troops in Si'an Town, and then rushed to the city of Huzhou.

After Tan Tai heard about it, he immediately sent troops from the Zhenghuang Banner to Si'an Town to meet him.

Unexpectedly, there was a sudden heavy rain, which made it impossible for him to enter the army at all, and the spies he sent out did not bring back any useful information. So far, Shi Tingzhu's department has lost contact.

Now the torrential rain has finally stopped, and soon after, the news that Shi Tingzhu was defeated by the Ming army in the flood came back.

Just as Tan Tai was furious and was about to adjust and deploy troops to attack Huzhou, a major breakthrough came from the Jiangxi battlefield.

Tan Tai understood that it was time for him to make a choice. Now that the Ming army in Huzhou is powerful, Hangzhou is out of reach.

However, a major breakthrough has been made in the Jiangxi battlefield, and He Luohui has already approached the city of Nanchang.

If he doesn't hold back Jin Shenghuan's troops in Raozhou and Huizhou and let him lead his army back to Nanchang, then He Luohui will face nearly 20 Ming troops, let alone capture Nanchang City. If you can't get out of your body, you have to put a big question mark?

Now he had no choice but to give up the direction of Hangzhou. Presumably the Ming army had just experienced a big battle in Huzhou, and it was also seriously injured.

However, during the insurance period, he still left five thousand Manchurian red flags stationed in Guangde to prevent the Ming army from disturbing his rear.

Then Tan Tai personally led an army of 6 to go south to Huizhou.
