Nanming Yiming

Chapter 56 Sweeping Jiaxing Mansion

Facing Qian Mo's pledge of loyalty, His Highness Lu Jianguo also offered a number of official positions in return.

Although they are all false names, Qian Mo can now be regarded as Governor Su Song in good name.

"Governor of Su Song", seeing that Lu Jianguo meant to ask Qian Mo to fight against the Qing army and the two mansions of Su and Song, Qian Mo could only laugh it off.

After Gu Yanwu and Xia Wanchun led the Chongming Ming army to evacuate the Jinshanwei City, they directly set fire to Jinshanwei.

The naval warships of the Ming army directly blew up Jinshanwei's empty fort with artillery.

Jinshanwei, one of the "Four Houses of David" in the Ming Dynasty, was destroyed in a fire.

In Jiaxing Prefecture, Wang Zaixing returned to Jiaxing City with Tian Fulu's body.

Dozens of defeated soldiers ran back to Jiaxing Mansion ahead of time, causing panic in the city, and martial law was imposed early.

At this time, Wang Zaixing led the remnants back to the city, and brought back the corpse of Tian Zhifu, which made Jiaxing Mansion feel like an enemy.

Fortunately, Wang Zaixing claimed that he had beaten off the bandits, and Tian Zhifu was "unfortunately killed in battle."

So he punished these soldiers who fled the battle and stabilized the morale of the army.

Some of the Qing soldiers who died in the valley ambush before turned into "bandit corpses".

With the support of Wang Zaixing, Lu Bingwen immediately exercised the right to act as the prefect of Jiaxing as Jiaxing Tongzhi.

A report of "Deputy General Wang defeated the bandits, and Tian Zhifu unfortunately died in battle" was sent to the Governor's Yamen of Zhejiang in Hangzhou.

At this time, Weng Zhiheng had led 100 Jingnan Battalion soldiers to lurk in Jiaxing City for a day.

A volunteer said: "The situation in Weng Zongbing's city is almost the same, and the residences of several traitors on the list have also been investigated clearly."

Weng Zhiheng said: "The spies have sent back the news that Tianjiazhuang and Jinshanwei have already succeeded. Let the brothers gather at the east gate. We will start immediately. The brothers outside the city have arrived."

On the top of Jiaxing's east gate, Jiang Heng, the general manager, was already drowsy.

Although he was in charge of staying in the city today, he did not attack with the army.But after a while there was news that the bandits had killed the officers and soldiers, and after a while Wang Zaixing came back with good news, which really tormented him a lot.

It was already Yin time (more than 3 o'clock in the morning), and the wind was biting on the city tower. Except for a few soldiers who were patrolling, everyone else had already fallen asleep.

Several soldiers in the city gate had already met Zhou Gong at this time, and Wang Zaixing came back victorious, and they could finally sleep peacefully without worrying about bandits attacking the city.

At this moment, a few dark shadows slowly touched the top of the city, only to hear a scream of "ah", and the Qing army at the east gate was awakened.

It's a pity that most of them didn't have the time to resist, so they went to see Lord Yama.

Jiang Heng was also awake at this time, and wanted to rush out with four or five brothers around him.

At this time, almost all the other soldiers on the top of the wall were killed by the bandit Kouge. Relying on his excellent martial arts skills, Jiang Heng blocked from left to right all the way, and soon got stabbed twice.Seeing that something was wrong, Jiang Heng jumped off the city wall and disappeared into the darkness.

A soldier reported: "A Qing soldier in Weng Zongbing jumped off the city wall and ran away."

Weng Zhiheng said: "Don't chase anymore, just copy the target mansion directly."

The soldier asked, "What about the people in the mansion?"

Weng Zhiheng said: "Where there is still time for interrogation, the traitor's mansion will kill him!"

Thus, 600 people from Jingnanying, who entered outside the city, appeared in various target mansions.

At this time, Wang Zaixing heard the chaos in the city, and immediately led the soldiers to exterminate the "thieves".

Keep the supplies in the camp.

Wang Zaixing shouted: "Hurry up to the magistrate's yamen and the bank, and don't let the bandits succeed."

At this time, Jiang Heng, who escaped, bumped into Wang Zaixing's men.

Jiang Heng shouted: "Vice General Wang, have the bandits entered the city?"

Wang Zaixing questioned: "Jiang Heng, you are not guarding the east gate. Why did you come here? Could it be that the east gate has been lost?"

Jiang Heng said: "The thieves are very powerful, they have captured the east gate, and the generals will fight to the death, so they came here to report the news."

Wang Zaixing pierced Jiang Heng with a knife.Said: "General Jiang Heng fled in front of the battle, lost the gate of the city, and let the bandits enter the city. Now beheaded in public, as an example to others, everyone, go and kill the bandits with me!"

At this time, Tian Fulu's mansion had already held a funeral, and white lanterns were hung high outside the mansion gate, and the big founding characters were particularly conspicuous!
However, unlike the usual bustling crowds, the front of Tian Mansion's gate at this time seemed particularly deserted.

Tian Fulu was gone, so there was no need for others to curry favor with the Tian family.Human feelings are hot and cold, and the world is hot and cold, and it has always been like this.

But Tian Mansion's grief has just begun. Weng Zhiheng led people directly into Tian Mansion, killing anyone they saw, and broke into Tian Fulu's mourning hall all the way.

Mrs. Tian, ​​who was dressed in filial piety, suddenly turned pale with fright. She was originally just Tian Fulu's concubine. At the beginning of the year, Tian Fulu's original wife passed away, and she had just been restored.

Mrs. Tian Fang was twenty years old, and she was crying until the rain brought pear blossoms, making her look even more charming.

Not to mention those Taihu rebels who have never seen the world, even Weng Zhiheng, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, is fascinated by it.

As the saying goes, "Men should be pretty in soap, and women should be pretty with three parts of filial piety"!
At this time, Weng Zhiheng had completely forgotten the order "not one left" just issued.

Quickly scolded his subordinates and said loudly: "Don't be rude to this lady."

Looking at the corpses all over the ground inside and outside the mourning hall, Mrs. Tian realized that she had just passed through the gate of hell, so she said gratefully: "My family is very grateful for the kindness of this hero not to be killed. I don't know where I can help?"

Weng Zhiheng said: "How much food does Tianfu have?"

Mrs. Tian said: "Most of the money and grain of the Tian family are stored in Tianjiazhuang. At present, there are about 2000 taels of silver and more than [-] shi of grain in the house."

Weng Zhiheng said: "Then please Madam lead the way!"

At this time, Qian Mo, who was one step late, couldn't help turning his eyes around Mrs. Tian for a few more seconds, and said, "Brother Weng has good eyesight, this Mrs. Tian is indeed a stunning beauty."

Weng Zhiheng blushed and said: "Governor Qian was joking, I don't mean that!"

Qian Mo jokingly said: "Originally, Qian Mo thought that a gentleman would not take what others like, but since Big Brother Weng doesn't like it, then my younger brother is about to get it!"

Seeing Weng Zhiheng's crying expression, Qian Mo smiled and said, "Stop joking with Brother Weng, this Mrs. Tian is no match for my Xin'er."

Weng Zhiheng immediately agreed with a happy smile: "That is, Miss Xin'er is the most beautiful Qinhuai girl, and she is definitely not comparable to Mrs. Tian."

"This Tianfu only has 5 taels of silver and 2000 shi of grain, not as much as imagined?"

Qian Mo said: "Leave the 5 taels of silver to Deputy General Wang and Lu Tongzhi. They will also need silver taels to operate, and food and other materials will be transported to Tianjiazhuang."

"The situation in the other traitor mansions is similar. It seems that these guys like to hide money and food in the country cellars. The mansions in the city don't get much. The intelligence work still needs to be strengthened."

"It's almost dawn soon, so let's evacuate the granaries and supplies of Jiaxing Mansion, and leave the rest to Deputy Wang to take care of them."

Then he added: "Except for Mrs. Tian, ​​everyone else has cleaned up. I set her mansion on fire. I want everyone to see the fate of being a traitor!"

In the yamen of the prefect of Jiaxing, Lu Bingwen was organizing servants in the name of Jiaxing Tongzhi to bravely resist the bandits, and with the support of Wang Zaixing's soldiers, he successfully "beat away" the bandits. Unfortunately, Lu Tongzhi was injured and sprained his foot.

The same scene also appeared in front of the bank in Jiaxing. Just as the guards were tremblingly cooperating with the bandits to open the door of the bank, Wang Zaixing arrived in time like a heavenly soldier, and fought bravely with the bandits to finally save the bank. Drive away the bandits.

Due to too many thieves, several places were breached by thieves.For example, the arsenal and granary of the camp were robbed by thieves of a batch of cotton armor, knives and guns, a large amount of supplies, and 5000 shi of military food.

The prison in Jiaxing Mansion was also robbed by bandits, and a large number of prisoners were taken away, including Wang Yadan's brother Wang Erniu.

However, after the heroic counterattack by the officers and soldiers of Jiaxing City, except for the private houses of a few big households that were looted and burned by the bandits, the other places were basically safe, and the bandits were also successfully driven out of Jiaxing City.

Master Lu Bingwen, the Tongzhi of Jiaxing, led the soldiers and civilians to fight the fire bravely, and finally extinguished all the open flames in Jiaxing City at dawn.

At the same time, a report of Zhoushan Ming bandits attacking Jiaxing Fucheng at Yinshi on November 4, 11th year of Shunzhi was sent to Xiao Qi, governor of Zhejiang Province in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, by Jiaxing Tongzhi Lu Bingwen and Jiaxing Deputy General Wang Zaixing led their troops to resist and repel. Far.

At the same time, 3 taels of silver and a part of the land deeds of Tian Zhifu's property were also on the road.

At this time in Tianjiazhuang, the soldiers of the Taihu Rebel Army were nervously summarizing the results of the looting of Jiaxing Mansion.

Seeing the boats and boats of supplies transported from the waterway, everyone was very excited.

At this time Weng Zhiheng said: "This time in Jiaxing Fucheng, a total of 10 traitors' mansions were raided, and a total of 3000 taels of silver and 10000 shi of grain were obtained."

"In addition, 5000 shi of grain, 500 pairs of cotton armor, 50 bird guns, and a large number of knives, guns, bows and arrows were obtained from Jiaxing's green camp arsenal.

Xia Wanchun added: "Counting the capture of Jinshanwei, Tianjiazhuang currently has a total of 15000 shi of grain, 1800 pairs of cotton armor, 550 bird guns, 12 tiger squatting guns, 6 Qianjin Flang machine guns, and a large number of knives and guns. Bows and arrows and other supplies."

In addition, there were 750 captives of the Qing army in Tianjiazhuang, 300 prisoners from Jiaxing Prefecture prison, and more than 1500 Zhuang people.

Qian Mo said: "Previously 150 people from Wang Zaixing's department have been incorporated into Chongming Camp and Jingnan Camp,"

"The king will hand over the 300 people in the headquarters to you Huang Yu, and you will select 250 people from the prisoners of war and prisoners to add to the Shenji Battalion, and expand your Shenji Battalion to 800 people. The remaining prisoners and prisoners will stay as coolies. , build fortifications."

"The supplies leave you with 10000 shi grains, 800 pairs of cotton armor, 500 bird guns, 10 tiger squatting guns and all the Frang machine artillery."

"You must guard this farm for me."

Both Zhang Xiaofan and Lu Shanhai cast envious glances.

Huang Yu said excitedly: "I will definitely live up to the cultivation of the governor."

Xia Wanchun said: "Thanks to the transfer station of Tianjiazhuang, otherwise so many materials would not be able to be transferred back to Taihu Lake in time, and some of them may have to be given up."

At this time, Qian Mo said: "I also think this Tianjiazhuang is a good place, such a strong stronghold, we have to make good use of it."

Then Qian Mo said to Xia Wanchun: "Xiao Yin, do you still remember that my brother gave you five kits when I was in Nanjing, so did you bring the 4th and 5th kits with you?"

When he was in Nanjing, Qian Mo was not sure when he would be able to escape, so he gave Xia Wanchun 5 tips in advance.

The first kit was opened when Xia Wanchun suspected that Qian Mo had defected to the enemy.

At this time, Xia Wanchun must have learned about Qian Mo's apprentice Hong Chengchou and some traitorous remarks.

In the kit was a poem expressing his aspirations, and the "first pot of gold" such as the silver and materials he had prepared for Xia Wanchun's Taihu Rebel Army.

The second kit was for Xia Wanchun to open when he heard that Qian Mo had donated silver and would ship it to the capital by sea.

Early in the morning, Qian Mo assumed that Hong Chengchou would not reject the suggestion of his "secret secret" sea route suspect.

After Xia Wanchun heard the news, he sent people to Jinshan Temple to meet up. Qian Mo will definitely try to inform the specific departure time of the silver transportation at Jinshan Temple, the place where Zhenjiang goes north to the canal, so that it is convenient for people from all walks of life to intercept the silver.

The third kit is for Xia Wanchun to open when Taihu Lake can't hold on.

Qian Mo predicted that Taihu Lake would not be able to satisfy the development of the rebel army, and sooner or later they would not be able to persist.

At this time, when I opened it, there was only one sentence: "If Taihu Lake cannot be defended, then retreat to Tianmu Mountain."

Qian Mo was worried that Xia Wanchun would not be able to persist in Taihu Lake, so he pointed out a way out for him in advance.

In fact, Xia Wanchun's Taihu Rebel Army was in a much better situation than Qian Mo had expected, so this tip was only opened after Qian Mo arrived in Taihu Lake.

The first three kits have all been opened.

At this time, Xia Wanchun opened the fourth kit, and according to Qian Mo's instructions, he opened the kit after arriving at Tianmu Mountain.

Xia Wanchun opened the kit curiously, and saw a fortification map that he had never seen before.

On it is written "Diagram of the Bastion Defense System of Western Countries".

Everyone was quite surprised when they saw the picture. This is a complete map of Lingbao's defense system drawn by Qian Mo based on the memory in the military forums of later generations.

Chammer explained: "Before the age of firearms, the walls of fortresses were usually built very tall and reinforced with stone or bricks, and some towers or horse faces were set up to obtain additional firepower output. If anything, it was Some particularly fortified cities had more than one wall."

"It is different from the traditional square city in the East. Bastion is a kind of Western fortress. Its essence is to change the fortress from a convex polygon to a concave polygon. This improvement makes no matter which point of the castle is attacked. Exposed to more than one bastion face (usually 2-3), defenders can use crossfire for multiple strikes."

"It is a complex and complete defense system."

Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw it, although it was the first time they had seen this kind of bastion.

But as a group of excellent generals, they quickly discovered the power of this bastion.

Huang Yu even sighed: "If such a bastion is built, as long as you give me 500 gunners, even [-] elites will never be able to break through it in a short time."

However, Xia Wanchun raised a question: "Such a complex project, even if we rebuild a smaller version of the bastion on the basis of Tianjiazhuang, I am afraid that it will not be possible to repair it without a year's work?"

Qian Mo also said at this time: "We can start with the core part of the bastion, and some expanded facilities can be appropriately simplified. But the project volume is still quite huge."

"So Xiaoyin, please open the fifth kit for everyone."
