The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 74 Jade Shura

"It has long been rumored among the rebels in northern Jiangxi that the Dragon Guard led by His Royal Highness King Chenzhou is a mighty general of the heavenly soldiers. He once broke into Gaojinku with more than a thousand elites and killed tens of thousands of rebels. Come back!" Deng Shan said with emotion, "At first the grassroots still couldn't believe it, but now that we see the majestic power of the army, we know that the rumor is true."

Zhu Linmei was taken aback when she heard the words, and said in her heart that it had only been more than 20 days, and the news was completely distorted. The Dragon Guards only dispatched more than a thousand people, and the number of people entering the warehouse doubled in an instant, and more than ten thousand people were beheaded. ...

But he then thought that most of the Ming army's combat power is weak now, and everyone in Ming Dynasty lacks confidence.Exaggerating the combat power of the Dragon Guards can boost the confidence of the rebels in northern Jiangxi and at the same time deter the Qing army, so they just listened with a smile and did not refute.

Deng Shan continued excitedly: "The Qing army in Poyang City will go south to grab food from time to time. Before that, several rebels in the south of Raozhou Prefecture fought with them many times, but they suffered a lot. Today, the army under the command of His Highness Just one face-to-face, the bandits collapsed! What a fucking relief!"

When he uttered dirty words, Fang was startled to feel something was wrong, and quickly laughed twice, "Look at my stinking mouth, please forgive me, Your Highness."

"Deng Yishi is a bold man, speak frankly." Zhu Linmei smiled and shook her head, and asked again, "I wonder how many Qing troops are still in Poyang City?"

"After the battle just now, there should be less than a hundred people left."

Zhu Linming asked suspiciously: "You just said that there are many volunteers in the south of Raozhou, but they will suffer from the seven or eight hundred enemy troops in Poyang City?"

Deng Shan glanced at the hilt of the knife in the gap at his waist, and his square face was a little red, "Our weapons are crude, and the training time is short, but the bandits and horses are excellent, so they almost died..."

Yu Xin interrupted: "War is about avoiding the truth and avoiding the truth. In the crisis you faced just now, it is the best policy to avoid the sharp edge and regroup. How can you blindly fight for your life?"

"No!" Deng Shan said loudly, with veins throbbing on his forehead, "I am raising the flag of the rebel army to protect our hometown from bandits. If we retreat, Hujia Village and the Shipai Village behind will definitely be robbed." Hundreds of households in these two villages must starve to death for winter food. Therefore, we can only fight to the death and must not retreat!"

This Deng Shan is a courageous and responsible person.Zhu Linmei nodded slightly. Compared to these rebels, many officers and soldiers who took the royal pay but avoided the enemy's fear of war would die of shame, not to mention the hundreds of thousands of "official soldiers" who sold themselves as captives and killed the people of Ming Dynasty.

Rebels like Tieshanying must be helped. What they need most right now is weapons and ordnance.Immediately, Zhu Linmei remembered the weapons she got from Ke Yongsheng not long ago, so she told Shi Lin, "Go and take three hundred of the seized Lumi blunderbuss and three hundred wolf sticks and give them to Tieshan Camp."

"Yes!"

Lumi gun? !Deng Shan's eyes widened, God!The Qing army in Poyang didn't have this kind of gun!

"Don't worry," Zhu Linming stopped Shi Lin and said again, "There are also Qianjin Frang Cannon and No. [-] Frang Cannon. Two more artillerymen will be dispatched to guide them in using them."

"Yes!"

gun?Jack cannon? !Deng Shan felt like he was in a dream.He has seen cannons before, the two-foot-long tiger crouching cannon is more powerful than the bird blunderbuss.He had never heard of this heavy cannon, but now the king of Chenzhou wanted to give it to him!
"What, how did this happen?" Deng Shan hurriedly stopped Shi Lin, "This kind of sharp weapon can only be effective in the hands of His Royal Highness King Chenzhou. The grass people are really ashamed to accept it!"

Shi Lin smiled and patted him on the arm that blocked her, "Since your Highness told you, you can accept it with peace of mind. Besides, these iron bumps on Ke Yongsheng are so heavy that you can reduce the number of dragon guards after you take them away." The baggage burden of the army."

"Ke Yongsheng's..." Deng Shan and the people behind him were taken aback for a moment, then immediately realized, and said happily, "Did your Highness take care of that old thief Ke Yongsheng?"

Yu Xin continued from the side: "In the battle five days ago, including Ke Yongsheng, none of the more than 4000 Qing soldiers in Guangxin Mansion escaped."

Deng Shan and the others looked at each other, then knelt down and saluted together, and said excitedly: "Since the early years of Longwu, Ke Bandit has led troops to attack our northern Jiangxi rebels many times. Among the rebels, ten brothers and relatives died at his hands. Seven or eight. Your Highness, apart from this villain, is indeed the great benefactor of the Northern Jiangxi Rebel Army!"

As soon as Zhu Linmei helped them up, she heard the warning horn sounded in the army.Immediately, hussars came to report that there was a group of people and horses galloping from the west.

Zhu Linmi was about to give the order to meet the enemy, when another person came to report, saying that it had been found out that the people who came were from Yu Shura's subordinates of the Rebel Army.

Deng Shan hurriedly said: "Just now the grass people were trapped by bandit soldiers, and they sent someone to ask for help from Yu Xiuluo. But before the reinforcements arrived, the bandit soldiers had already been defeated by His Highness. The grass people forgot this festival."

Then he said that Yu Xiuluo was a very famous branch of the rebel army in northern Jiangxi.Moreover, he has always donated righteousness and donated money. Almost all the rebels in the three prefectures in northern Jiangxi received his food and grass, so all the rebels obeyed him extremely.

"Oh?" Zhu Linmi nodded with interest, "Then I must meet this famous righteous man."

A slender man with a single sword in the waist and hips reined in the healthy horse under his hips, and told the people behind him: "Wait for me here."

The voice was sweet and crisp, it turned out to be a woman.

She got off her horse and saw the dragon guard flags on a blue background with the sun and the moon shining all around and the dark green uniforms on the soldiers, she couldn't help trembling in her heart.

It's really the Dragon Guards!She walked forward with a sergeant, but her mind was full of the scene of that day outside Jinxi City in Fuzhou, where she stood in the crowd and joined the people of Hecheng to send off the Dragon Guards.

The invincible divine army with strict discipline and extraordinary momentum was neatly lined up, with a fierce and confident aura in every gesture, which made her immediately feel that this was an army completely different from any previous Ming army.

Later she heard about the Longwei army wiped out more than ten thousand Qing troops in an instant by the Shuangchen River and captured the enemy's leader alive.According to the rumors, in that battle, the heavenly soldiers came riding on the clouds, and with the force of thunder, they beat the bandits and soldiers howling like mourning dogs.

Since then, she has heard the Xuanjiao Mansion's propaganda about the Battle of Fuzhou several times in Fuzhou, and learned many details of the battle from it.Soon, the Dragon Guards had become the sacred army in her heart, the most powerful army in Ming Dynasty!

But she knew very little about the commander of the Dragon Guard Army, she only said that he was the king of Chen Zhou and he was very young.But she knew that it must be a very extraordinary person.

Soon, you will be able to meet this mysterious person who commands the Divine Army.

The sergeant who was leading the way made a "please" gesture, and she immediately recognized him as the young man with a handsome face and an extraordinary bearing standing in the middle.

She immediately forgot all the etiquettes that she had just imagined, walked up a few steps, stared at a pair of beautiful big eyes and blurted out: "You, you are His Royal Highness Chen Zhou?"
