The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 76 Gathering Rebels
"Your Highness wants to recruit the rebel army?" Zhen Zhen asked hurriedly.

"It's not about reorganization," Zhu Linmei said of her plan. "Integration means merger and reorganization. There is no unified order for the rebels in northern Jiangxi, and they can't exert their due combat effectiveness. I want to let the more than ten Lu Yi's army was merged into one, and the imperial court distributed food, military equipment, and the rebel army still elected capable men to lead the battle.

"If supplemented with strict drills, the Qing soldiers from the three prefectures in northern Jiangxi are no more than chickens and dogs in front of the rebels who are twisted together."

Zhen Zhen was a little disappointed that he couldn't join the Dragon Guard Army, but soon he felt relieved. With the combat power of his subordinates, joining the Dragon Guard Army was probably just a burden.

She immediately clasped her hands proudly and said: "Your Highness's action is very beneficial to all the volunteers, Minnv is willing to help gather volunteers from all walks of life to participate in this great event."

"I know the people in Raozhou Prefecture," Deng Shan said, patting his chest, "I, Deng, will contact the four rebels here!"

Zhu Linming was overjoyed, she cupped her hands and said, "Then I will thank you two righteous men."

The two of them wrote down Zhu Linmi's arrangement and went back to the camp separately.

Yu Xiuluo was dizzy with joy all the way, and he didn't know how he walked back to his military tent.

She immediately summoned the leaders of the rebel army, her eyes were shining, but she lacked her usual composure, and said loudly, "Old Hu, you will contact the loyal army and Jin Dadao."

"Okay, I'll go right away." A man cupped his hands and said.

"Li Yi, go to the Ruichang area and let Iron Leopard and his team leave early. It's a long journey."

"It's worth it."

"Uncle Zhao, go to the far north and inform Sun Mazi's team."

"Yes, second lady."

"Le Zhan, you are in charge of contacting the White Horse Camp and the Loyalty Army."

There was a burst of sniggering all around, and someone reminded Yu Shura in a low voice, "The Loyalty Army has given orders."

"Oh," Zhen Zhen blushed slightly, and changed his words, "It's not the loyal army, you, you should go to the north."

"Uncle Zhao was sent..."

There was laughter again, and several people in the tent were whispering to each other, discussing why their usually calm and calm female leader seemed a little absent-minded today.

"Be quiet!" Yu Shura was angry.

……

Deng Shan was so anxious that he repeatedly slapped the table, and raised his voice: "Old Wei, it's too late to wait for half a month! We can only leave within three days."

A strong man with a beard next to him was louder than him, "Deng Shan, Lao Wei and I spent a lot of effort to get the information about the change of defense by the Zhudu thieves. I missed this opportunity in half a month, and when they finished their defense, I don’t know how long it will take to capture Jiezhudu!”

"But King Chenzhou..."

"Brother Deng, you'd better not pay too much attention to this matter." Old Wei yawned, "When did the court care about us so much? I think it's just pretending. When that king leaves, everything Definitely still the same."

"That's right, it's not worth delaying the attack on Jiezhudu for this matter."

Deng Shan stood up abruptly, and slapped the table again, "Isn't it Jiezhudu? If I help you take this place now, you will follow me to Duchang right away?"

The bearded man and Old Wei smiled at each other, "Brother Deng, as long as you have the heart."

"I didn't say that, just those one-eyed quick guns of your Tieshan camp, I'm afraid they can't reach the height of the wall of the bandit village."

It's no wonder that they were ridiculed by their words, Tieshan Camp's poor weapons were well-known among the Raozhou Rebels.If it weren't for Deng Shan's people who were not afraid of death in battle, the Tieshan Battalion would not be ranked among the rebels.

"Single-eyed blunderbuss? Hmph," Deng Shan raised his eyebrows, "It's just today, let's go! Let you see how our Tieshan Camp captured Jiezhudu!"

With a loud bang, a hole the size of a well mouth suddenly appeared on the wooden and bamboo wall outside Jiezhudu.Accompanied by sawdust all over the sky, an iron ball flew past the stunned Qing soldiers, overturned their soup pots on the fire, and slammed into a barracks, splashing boiling water and charcoal everywhere. .

Afterwards there was another continuous sound of cannons, and within a short while, the wall at Jiezhudu was completely riddled with holes.

Seeing that the wall of the village was about to be knocked down, the Qing troops stationed at Jiezhudu rushed out from the north side of the ferry, howling like hornets that had been stabbed in their nest.

The eyes of the old Wei who had been ambushing here for a long time were about to pop out-no wonder Deng Shan dared to boast that he would be able to capture Jiezhudu. It turned out that he had cannons!And it sounded like a heavy cannon!

He and the bearded Shi Qin fought back and forth for more than half a year without winning Jiezhudu, and it took only a while before it was smashed.

Then he yelled: "Give it to me!"

The ambushes of the rebels swarmed out all around immediately, with their knives in their hands, they chopped all the rebels to the ground one after another.

On the front of Jiezhudu, two artillerymen of the Dragon Guards were directing the people of the Tieshan Battalion with their hands, wiped the barrel of the gun, cooled the barrel with a damp cloth, changed the blunderbuss, and ignited the fire.They completely regarded this as a practical exercise.

Another iron bullet flew into the Qing army camp.

The Qing soldiers rushing out from the front gate of the village were surprised to see a large and neat bush of wolves in front of them.

In the gap between the wolves, the Tieshan Camp gunners who had already prepared were immediately followed by a row of guns.Although the guns were placed very messily, due to the superior number, the Qing soldiers were shot and fell to the ground one after another, and none of them could rush within twenty steps.

Lao Wei and Shi Qin had never fought such a happy victory. The rebel army wiped out nearly [-] bandit soldiers in Jiezhudu with almost no losses.

The battle soon came to an end, and the two of them sandwiched Deng Shan between one left and one right, smiling all over their faces, "Brother Deng, where did you get these cannons?"

"I just saw that you changed to a new bird gun?"

Deng Shan had a haughty expression on his face, "I told you to go to Duchang and return to your mother-in-law. Let me tell you, these weapons were given to me by His Royal Highness King Chenzhou."

"Anyway?"

"Just for the cannon?"

The two of them suddenly felt dizzy, and after a while, they almost said in unison: "Go to Duchang, let's go now!"

On the outskirts of Yugan County.

Under a thatched hut, two men in their thirties were sitting opposite each other and drinking tea.

The man in the gray robe looked north, "His Royal Highness King Chenzhou is really extraordinary, and he did something that he has not calmed down for a long time."

"Your Excellency is too modest." The man in white shirt with sword eyebrows and starry eyes continued, "His Royal Highness King Chenzhou is indeed a great leader in gathering rebels. But if you hadn't been for the rebels, provided information and guided them, the northern Jiangxi rebels would have nothing like this Pomp."

"Where is it?" The man in gray robe waved his hand with a smile, and said again, "Ting Xuan, according to your opinion, this time is going to be prosperous, should I go or not?"

The man named Tingxuan immediately said seriously: "Your Excellency, I will go, who is more familiar with this northern Jiangxi rebel army than you? His Royal Highness King Chenzhou is considering this important event. If there are twists and turns, you may need your assistance.

"Besides, the loyal army only obeys your orders, doesn't it?"

"Tingxuan's words are reasonable." The man in gray robe nodded, "So, I, Gu, will leave today, and I can see His Royal Highness King Chenzhou who is famous in Jiangxi."
