The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 104 Gu Yanwu's Information
Luo Mingshou was quite curious, he knew how poor Yang Tinglin was, and since the siege of Nanchang, this was the first time a reward was given out.

He handed over the command of the cannon to his deputy, entered the cabin, and saw more than a dozen sailors carrying rolls of brightly colored brocade.

Luo Mingshou only felt that these brocade cloths were very similar to the ones he got from Frangji last year, so he ordered the soldiers to unroll a scroll, and he saw the character "Luo" engraved on the cloth scroll, which was given to him by him. Chen Wang's gift.

He asked someone to call back the military officer Yang Tinglin sent to deliver the salary. After asking, he found out that King Chen actually donated all the things he sent worth more than 1 taels as military funds.

He was in shock.He has seen a lot of officials in the Ming Dynasty, cheating, selfishness, corruption, all thinking of ways to put money into their own pockets, and those who have not made a living can be regarded as upright officials, but they have never seen people who take advantage of private interests. Money to subsidize the country.

This Chen Wangduan was different, and a spark burst out in Luo Mingshou's heart. With such a person, there should be hope for the future of Daming!Follow His Royal Highness Chen Wang closely, and there will be a great achievement!

Zhu Linmei entered the barracks, and was about to go to see the Jaeger Company, but a hussar came to report that the Polu camp had arrived in Nanchang, and it was now more than ten miles to the north.

Zhu Linmei was a little surprised. He hadn't been able to see the military newspapers of the Polu camp these days while he was traveling along the Ganjiang River. The latest news before leaving Longnan was that they had just passed De'an County at the southern end of Jiujiang River. Has arrived in Nanchang.

According to Da Ming's practice, whoever recruits the troops is usually responsible. In addition, the battle with Boluo must also require the assistance of the Poluying. He thought about it and ordered Shi Lin: "Go and invite General Zhen and Supervisor Gu They come."

"Yes!"

Unexpectedly, Shi Lin came back not long after he left, and reported to Zhu Lin, "Commander, Gu Jianjun, Yu Qianzong, Sun Qianzong, Du Qianzong and others are asking for an audience outside the tent."

It turned out that as soon as the Polu camp arrived in Nanchang, these people had already galloped to the Longwei Army's garrison.

"Let them in quickly."

At this time, the core officers of the Polu camp had all changed into black copycat dragon guard uniforms, and the imposing uniforms reduced the reckless smell on their bodies by [-]%, giving them a bit more mighty aura.

After they entered the camp, they all knelt down on one knee and said respectfully, "My subordinate pays homage to the thousand-year-old King Chen." The last time Zhu Linmi left Duchang was still the county king, so they congratulated him on being crowned prince. .They were going to bring gifts, but they were stopped by Gu Yanwu, with his ability to observe people, he knew that Chen Wang would not like this, so it is better to make more military achievements in terms of congratulatory gifts.

"Please get up quickly," Zhu Lin asked in surprise as she helped the generals up, but she didn't see Zhen Zhen, "Why didn't General Zhen come?"

Sun Qi, Yu Zhen and the others looked at each other with a smile, and only said, "Forgive me, Your Highness, General Zhen will be here soon."

Zhu Lin didn't know what kind of medicine they sold in the gourd, so she asked about the business first.

Gu Yanwu hurriedly reported the recent situation in detail.After the establishment of the Polu Camp, a large number of sophisticated weapons were obtained, and Zhu Linmi sent people to help them train, which caused the Polu Camp's combat power to soar, and it was almost invincible in northern Jiangxi.It only took more than half a month to quickly recover the two prefectures of Raozhou and Nankang.

When the large army entered Jiujiang, news came that Jin Shenghuan was besieged in Nanchang. The Qing army lost all fighting spirit, and everywhere they broke the barracks, they fell in anticipation.Now that the three prefectures in northern Jiangxi have all been recovered, Zhen Zhen left hundreds of people to clean up the battlefield in Jiujiang, and took most of them to Nanchang in a hurry.

"The gentlemen have contributed a lot to recovering the lost land," Zhu Linmi nodded in praise, "I will then present myself to the imperial court and ask for a reward for breaking the barracks."

All the generals in the tent immediately said excitedly in unison: "Thank you, Your Highness!"

"By the way, Your Highness." Gu Yanwu said with a serious expression, "Today, my subordinates received a report from the Hangzhou government that Lu Boluo brought [-] Zhenglan Banner soldiers, and the fake deputy general Tu Lai brought [-] Zhenghuang Banner soldiers. Qiantang first-line offline camp.

"There are more than a thousand Mongolian cavalry, Tong Yangjia and Liu Guangbi have a total of 7000 Han Eight Banners, and the rebel Li Chengdong has more than [-] troops, Cao Cunxing, Zhang Yingmeng, Fan Shaozu and other troops have [-] people, and the miscellaneous troops sent by Nanzhi and Zhejiang nearly Thirty thousand. Nearly a hundred cannons."

Zhu Linming's expression became serious when she heard this, Boluo's nearly [-] army is definitely an extremely powerful enemy.

In the novels of later generations, there are often tens of millions of soldiers and so on, but it is actually a joke at all.In terms of military mobilization capabilities and supply transportation capabilities in the [-]th century, it is not a small battle where more than [-] soldiers can actually fight on the front line.Those who boasted of hundreds of thousands of troops mostly counted a large number of porters and other people who could not go to the battlefield at all.

Therefore, the nearly 7 troops are almost the limit of the troops that the Qing court can use to attack the Longwu Dynasty.Although more than half of the so-called more than 7000 Eight Banners soldiers were coated slaves with weak combat effectiveness, they were definitely the elite of the Qing army.

You know, the Qing court now has a total of 6, [-], [-] soldiers from the Manchu, Mongolian, and Han Eight Banners.These soldiers are responsible for the defense of Gyeonggi, garrisoning various places in Jiangbei, dealing with Zhang Xianzhong, dealing with the remaining troops of Li Zicheng, dealing with the Mongol rebellion and so on.Among them, there are only more than [-] authentic Manchu Banners soldiers, and nearly [-] people can be drawn from them to go south. With the addition of thousands of Han Eight Banners soldiers and nearly a hundred cannons, Dorgon has already paid his blood.

In addition, the Mongolian cavalry and the Dashun soldiers under Li Chengdong also have quite strong combat power.Even the so-called "[-] miscellaneous troops from Nanzhi and Zhejiang" should not be lower than the main force of the Ming Dynasty's official army.As for the [-] army in the hands of King Lu of Zhejiang, it is even worse than these "miscellaneous troops".

"It has to be arranged early." Zhu Linmi couldn't help but sighed.

He was also a little strange, and said to Gu Yanwu: "Master Gu said these military information, you have never even seen it in the imperial palace newspaper, where did you get it?"

Gu Yanwu clasped his hands and said, "This subordinate was ordered to contact the rebels in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and they still keep in touch. They often report the situation there to Jiangxi."

Hearing the words, Zhu Linmi suddenly remembered that she wanted to bring Xu Erlu's brother, Fang Yizhi and others to Ganzhou, so she asked Gu Yanwu, "I have a few people I want to bring here from Shanghai and Huizhou. I wonder if Mr. Gu can contact them there. Will the volunteers help?"

"This shouldn't be difficult. Shanghai can go by water, and the Jianlu in Huizhou was harassed by the rebels, and the investigation was not strict." Gu Yanwu immediately said, "Your Highness, please tell the details of these people, and the subordinates will contact you later. The rebels over there."

"So good."

Just as Zhu Linming was about to continue discussing the military situation, she heard Shi Lin report, "Commander, please see General Zhen of the Polu camp."

"Let her in quickly."
