Chapter 55

Qian Mo laughed and said, "General Tian Shen, where are you going?"

At this moment, Tian Fushou had no choice but to let go, and asked unwillingly, "Who is your Excellency?"

Qian Mo said: "You don't need to know who I am, you just need to understand that there will be no Tian Family in Jiaxing anymore."

After hearing this, Tian Fushou immediately drew his sword and killed himself.

Qian Mo said immediately: "This Tian Fushou is more courageous than his elder brother and father. Unfortunately, we can't bury him yet. We still have to borrow this corpse."

At this time, the sun had already started to set, and the sky was reddened by the sunset glow, looking at the battlefield where the gunpowder smoke had not cleared down the mountain.

Qian Mo also had to sigh: "The setting sun is like blood!"

The Shenji Battalion had too many casualties this time, and after realizing that there were only 500 people left in Jinshanwei, Qian Mo asked Huang Yu's Shenji Battalion to bring the prisoners to Tianjiazhuang for repairs.

The dozens of soldiers who escaped from Tianjiazhuang before should have fled back to Jiaxing Mansion by now.

Wang Zaixing also rushed back to Jiaxing Mansion with Tian Fulu's body, in order to facilitate Lu Bingwen to take over Jiaxing Mansion as an acquaintance, so that Jiaxing Mansion would not "go to the doctor in a hurry" because the dragons had no leader.

The 150 people under Wang Zaixing who were willing to directly join the rebel army were directly added to the Jingnan Camp and Chongming Camp.

Qian Mo personally led two battalions of 1000 troops to capture Jinshan Acropolis.

金山卫城初系土方城,高2.8丈,周长12里75丈,护城河宽9丈(永乐年拓宽至11丈)。永乐15年(1417年),城墙改砖甃结构,有城门楼4座、水门1座、角楼4座、敌楼8座、雉堞3678个。

In the third year of Chenghua (1467), the stone masonry structure was changed.At the beginning of Jianwei, it was established in the middle of the city.

In the 20th year of Hongwu, a martial arts arena and a martial arts hall were set up 2 miles outside the east gate, and four thousand-household management halls on the left, right, front and back were also set up around the martial arts hall.During the Yongle period, soldiers and horses were set up in the Acropolis.During the Zhengtong period, the Shuai Mansion and the Procuratorate were built.

In the second year of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty (1645), Jinshan Camp was built.Set up the general office at the north gate of the Acropolis.

Set up East and West Xindun.

It was built on the mud outside Caojing Nantang when Hongwu Jianwei in Ming Dynasty.In the second year of Hongzhi (1489), Wei Wenbo, the commander of Wei, moved northward to the north of Hanhaitang because the former site fell into the sea.The pier is divided into east and west: the east pier is 2.6 feet high and 26.6 feet in circumference; the west pier is 4.7 feet high and 25.6 feet in circumference.

As one of the "Four Davids" in the Ming Dynasty, Jinshanwei is actually a strict fortress system. It not only has many fortresses, but also is equipped with naval forces and forts. It is an important fortress to prevent Japanese pirates. Hangzhou Bay.

However, the navy of the Qing army is not strong at the moment, and guarding Chongming Island and the Yangtze River waterway has become the top priority, and the importance of Jinshanwei has dropped a lot.

In addition, the Ming army has already occupied Chongming. In order to fill the "big hole" of Su Song, half of the defenders were taken away, so that after the ambush of Tian Fushou's department this time, only 500 soldiers were left in the huge Jinshan Guard. people.

As night fell, several soldiers were patrolling the south gate of Jinshan Acropolis.

Suddenly found a large number of people and horses under the city, so he quickly rang the alarm bell on the city tower!
The soldiers shouted: "Call Mr. Li, the enemy is found in the city!"

I saw a person under the city gate shouting: "Why are you ringing the alarm bell? It's me. Hurry up and open the city gate."

The soldier saw that it was General Wang, and said, "Why didn't you see General Tian, ​​you wiped out the bandits in Tianjiazhuang?"

President Wang said: "The thieves have been wiped out, and hundreds of thieves have been captured, but General Tian Shen was seriously injured, so hurry up and open the door, let's go to the city and talk about it, if you delay General Tian Shen's treatment, you boy can't afford it." !"

The soldiers took a closer look with the help of the torch, and it was indeed Tian Fushou who was being carried by the city, and there was still a bandage around his neck.

There are a few familiar faces in the front row, and there are still many people who look like thieves in the back of the line.

So he shouted: "It's our own people, open the city gate!"

After the city gate was slowly opened, Wang ordered the general to carry Tian Shenjiang into the city immediately.

At this time, Mr. Li, who heard the alarm bell, brought people here in a hurry. Seeing that he was an old acquaintance, he immediately felt relieved.

Then he asked: "Brother Wang, why is Tian Shen injured?"

Wang Bazong said: "Don't mention it, I was shot in the neck by the bandit's stray arrow, I have to go to the medical officer to see it."

Mr. Li took a look at his immediate superior, who was already pale-faced, and said, "Don't delay the treatment!"

I only heard Mr. Wang yelling: "Hurry up and send General Tian Shen for treatment, and put all the thieves in prison for me."

General Manager Li asked about the battle situation in the afternoon, and said, "Brother Wang, how did the Tianjiazhuang battle go? Why was General Tian Shen seriously injured?"

Mr. Wang said: "The gang of thieves and bandits are extremely fierce. We encountered their ambush on the way, and we didn't rush to Tianjiazhuang at all."

Li Bazong was taken aback and asked, "Was General Tian Shen injured when he was ambushed by bandits? How did you defeat the bandits?"

Mr. Wang said calmly: "The thieves intercepted from front to back, with fierce firepower, we were completely suppressed. More than 150 brothers were killed by firecrackers when they hit the valley."

"There is no such thing as turning defeat into victory. We were suppressed and beaten by bandits from the beginning to the end, and almost half of the brothers were killed."

"General Tian Shen was not injured, but he wiped his neck himself!"

At this moment, I saw Wang Bazong put a knife on Li Bazong's neck, and said: "Brother Li, let the brothers surrender, and stop making fearless sacrifices."

Li Bazong could only shake his head, and reluctantly ordered all Jinshan guards to surrender.

I thought that Jinshanwei's supplies would be quite rich.

However, Mr. Wang said: "Tian Fushou has resold military supplies in recent years, and the Qing Dynasty has not distributed many new supplies to Jinshanwei. Jinshanwei's supplies are running out."

There are still a lot of cold weapons such as cotton armor, knives, guns, bows and arrows.

The firearm that Qian Mo was most concerned about, and the ones that captured the defenders were only about 300 blunderbusses.

In addition, Jinshanwei also has 12 tiger crouching guns and 4 Qianjin Flang machine guns.

There are about 200 war horses, but it is a pity that Taihu Lake can't raise horses at all. The previous dozen or so war horses are already the limit of raising horses on the island.

The most valuable thing is to get a lot of gunpowder, shells, and bullets.

There are also 5000 shi of food stored, and many various craftsmen and military doctors.

There are still many cannons in red on the fort, but they are too heavy and inconvenient to carry.

Although there were not as many supplies as imagined, after all, the Jinshan Acropolis was taken without bloodshed, and the rebels still made a lot of windfall.

Looking at this complete fortress system, Qian Mo was also reluctant to part with it.

It's a pity that this place is really not suitable to stick to it. If it is surrounded by the Qing army from behind, it will be a desperate situation.

For such an important guard post, Qian Mo could not decide who the Qing army would send to take over.

Although Wang Bazong is Wang Zaixing's distant relative, he also took the initiative to help the rebels take down Jinshanwei, but his official position is too low.

So Qian Mo said to Xia Wanchun, "Please, Xiaoyin, please drive a boat to Chongming overnight, and tell Dingxi Hou that the Taihu rebels have quietly captured Jinshan Weicheng. The red-clothed artillery and 200 horses on the Jinshanwei Fortress , and the 5000 shi army rations we gave to him, and it is also considered as the certificate of honor that my Taihu Rebel Army gave to His Highness Jian Guo."

The artillery of the Chongming Fort was blown up by Qian Mo before, and these artillery were urgently needed to strengthen the fort.

Although Qian Mo also needed a large amount of food, but with the heavy army gathering on Chongming Island right now, the food might be even more scarce. This time, the money has been reaped quite well, so it should be used as support for friendly troops.I believe that such a real sincerity, King Lu Jianguo will definitely express it.

If the name is not right, the words will not be right. Qian Mo's self-proclaimed "Governor of the Taihu Rebel Army" still lacks appeal.

Some sacrifices had to be made to trade reality for fiction.

On the other hand, if Zhang Mingzhen can gain a firm foothold in Chongming, it will greatly restrain the Qing army.

It is extremely beneficial to the development of the Taihu Rebel Army and the entire Nanming.

Believe in this kind of win-win good thing, both parties are happy to see it!
Of the 550 people captured by Tian Fushou before, 300 were Wang Bazong's confidantes and were willing to directly join the Taihu Rebel Army.

Including the 500 captives under Li Bazong, a total of 750 people were temporarily detained in Tianjiazhuang.

Of course Qian Mo would not waste food to feed idlers, he already had a brand new plan in mind.

He planned to transform the strong Tianjiazhuang into a stronger fortress, and all the Francine guns captured this time remained in Tianjiazhuang.

After arranging everything, the rebel army started a large-scale transportation. Fortunately, there were a bunch of captives and Tianjiazhuang, the transit point.Otherwise, it would be impossible to transport all of them directly to Taihu Lake.

After Zhang Mingzhen occupied Chongming Island, he had completely reorganized the troops of Tu Guobao and Yang Wenqi.

In addition, the willingness of the residents on the island to join the Wang Shi was high. Due to the limited food storage on the island, 2000 recruits were temporarily recruited.

At this time, there were already 2 land and water divisions on Chongming Island.

The navy of the Ming Dynasty also successfully blocked the mouth of the Yangtze River, and the Qing army concentrated the navy near Wusongkou.

The two sides had two small-scale trials, but the Qing army continued to hide in the water village at Wusongkou, daring not to fight.

Seeing that Chongming gradually gained a firm foothold, Zhang Mingzhen also welcomed King Lu Zhu Yihai from Zheng Cai to Chongming.

At this time, Gu Yanwu was expressing his allegiance to His Royal Highness Lu Jianguo on behalf of the Taihu Rebel Army.

King Lu said: "After hearing about Qian Mo's plan, I was really moved. This Qian Mo is indeed a 'Jiangnan prodigy', and he always cares about me, Daming."

"Xia Wanchun even contacted me before, and my prison country also named him as a Zhongshu Sheren, and posthumously named his father Xia Yunyi."

"Both of these two are ministers of my Great Ming, but now that the Supervisory Kingdom has expressed its willingness to obey Emperor Yongli, they would rather not go to the court to present their watches, but instead voted for me. What's the reason?"

How could Gu Yanwu not understand that the King of Lu was asking whether the Taihu rebels would obey him or the Yongli court.

Otherwise, he kept professing his allegiance to Emperor Yongli, but he still kept saying "the state of the prison".

Does the Yongli court still need him to supervise the country?
So Gu Yanwu replied: "Naturally, there is only one court in Yongli in Ming Dynasty, but now His Majesty Yongli is far away in Guangxi, and it is very inconvenient for our volunteers to contact us."

"My people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang only know that His Highness Jian Guo resolutely resisted the Qing Dynasty in order to defend Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Since His Highness Jian Guo has stated that he obeys Emperor Yongli, then my Taihu Rebel Army obeys His Highness Jian Guo and Emperor Yongli."

"This is also the voice of Qian Mo, Xia Wanchun and the generals of the Taihu Rebel Army. I also hope that His Highness Jian Guo can continue to lead our Taihu Rebel Army to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty!"

At this time, Zhang Mingzhen also said: "This time my Master Wang was able to occupy Chongming, thanks to Qian Mo's many plans and Gu Yanwu's timely delivery of information. Now that the people in the south of the Yangtze River are popular, please also reward Qian Mo from His Highness Jian Guo to show his dedication to serve the country. Heart!"

Just as the King of Lu was about to confer Qian Mo on the throne, the soldiers outside came to report: "The Taihu Rebel Army, on behalf of Xia Wanchun from Zhongshushe, asked to see His Highness Jian Guo."

King Lu was naturally very happy to see Xia Wanchun. After all, Xia Wanchun had already pledged his allegiance to him. In his eyes, Xia Wanchun belonged to his own people, even closer than Qian Mo.

King Lu said, "What is Xiaoyin doing here late at night?"

Xia Wanchun said: "I pay my respects to His Royal Highness Jian Guo, Marquis Ding Xi and all the adults!"

"Your Majesty, under the order of Qian Mo, the governor of the Taihu Rebel Army, is here to inform you that our Taihu Rebel Army has captured Jinshanwei tonight."

"Governor Qian thought that the Wang Shi on Chongming Island was in urgent need of military supplies and food, so he specially dedicated the red-clothed cannons, more than 200 military horses, and 5000 shi of grain to the Wang Shi from the Fortress of the Jinshan Acropolis. .”

Zhang Mingzhen said in surprise: "The Taihu rebel army has such strength that they directly captured Jinshan Weicheng?"

Yang Wenqi said sourly from the side: "This Qian Mo has always been scheming and scheming. I'm afraid that the guard of the Jinshan Guard has accidentally followed his way?"

Seeing that it was Yang Wenqi, Xia Wanchun didn't have a good face and said: "Zongbing Yang is really good at predicting things. Governor Qian first lured Jinshan Guard General Tian Fushou out of Jinshan Guard, wiped out 1000 of his men, and then used Jiangjun and Tian Fushou's body sneaked into Jinshanwei and took down the Acropolis in one fell swoop."

Zhang Mingzhen immediately said: "Governor Qian is really good at using soldiers like a god. Now that Jinshanwei is in hand, our army can directly land and attack Su Song."

So Xia Wanchun immediately informed that the Qing army had deployed [-] heavy troops in the Susong area, and most of them were the main force of the Eight Banners.

Hearing this, Zhang Mingzhen also knew that he could not win Su Song, but he was still very grateful to Qian Mo.

Although military horses and red-clothed cannons are important, Qian Mo's Taihu Rebel Army may not be able to use or transport them away for the time being.

The 5000 shi of food is also extremely important to the Taihu Rebels. Zhang Mingzhen has been worrying about the food, and this is sending charcoal in a timely manner.

So Zhang Mingzhen directly called Qian Mo "Governor Qian" just now, implying that the King of Lu directly acknowledged Qian Mo's self-appointment. The Taihu Rebel Army is now a force that cannot be ignored.

King Lu was also hesitant about how to win over Qian Mo, but Zhang Mingzhen reminded him how could he not understand.

After hearing all kinds of deeds of Qian Mo, he also admired Qian Mo quite a lot, thinking that Qian Mo is now an indispensable force, after all, King Lu only has a few cards in his hand.

So he said: "The supervisory country now appoints Qian Mo as the governor of Susong, the left servant of the Ministry of War, and commanding all the troops in the Susong area."

"Appoint Xia Wanchun as the governor of Susong, and the right servant of the Ministry of Officials, responsible for the government affairs of the Susong area."

"Appoint Gu Yanwu as Su Song's inspector, in charge of the prison in Su Song's area."
