Chapter 783: Bombardment of Zhenjiang City
Father-in-law Wei was really annoyed, because that fellow prefect Wang Yingfu didn't give him any face, and he actually guarded him against Father-in-law Wei like a thief.
It's too much!
Before the father-in-law had gone ashore, the gate of Zhenjiang was closed tightly, as if his father-in-law Wei had entered the city, and Zhenjiang would be in great trouble.
This made my father-in-law very unhappy, yes, he led the imperial army, but it was the Ming Emperor's pro-army, not an Oriental devil.
You Zhenjiang City regards the imperial army as a devil, and rejects the emperor's ministers and pro-army, what do you think!
I think my father-in-law and his old man are also from the head of the house, a standard knowledgeable intellectual, what do you mean by Lord Wang doing this?
Everyone is a scholar, and they are all civil servants of the imperial court, and they don't look at the monk's face but also the Buddha's face!
Don't deceive people too much!
My father-in-law hated it.
Wang Yingpho is clearly looking at people with colored glasses, and at the same time discriminating against the disabled.
This is a lack of respect for imperial power, and it is also a lack of respect for human rights!
Even if he doesn't fight for the emperor, in order to defend the rights and interests of the disabled, the father-in-law can't just forget it with Wang Yingpho.
Last time, my father-in-law didn't have time to waste time with you Zhenjiang, but this time, he had to get back this game no matter what, otherwise, he would be angry in his heart.
The small Zhenjiang City categorically cannot become a stain on the father-in-law's illustrious life, let alone a model for learning from the north and south of this great river.
If everyone is not in the same iron bucket as Zhenjiang, how can the father-in-law's business expand!
The father-in-law didn't agree, and he would never agree to his fellow countrymen to upgrade on him, so he had to take action.
It is impossible to achieve victory without a guiding theory, without a half-immortal theoretical level, without a comprehensive and profound understanding of practical problems, and without a decisive and wise decision.
My father-in-law had the courage to solve problems and give full play to his wisdom, and as soon as he gave the order, the naval guns fired more than a dozen shells, which rumbled and startled the Western priests who were in the drum.
My father-in-law wasn't so mad yet.
The muzzle of the cannon was not aimed at Zhenjiang City, but was placed outside the city.
Large iron balls fell in mid-air, and irregular pits were suddenly smashed on the ground.
This is a solid bullet.
The warning is clear.
This time it's outside the city, and if you don't know how to do it, our family will fight inside the city.
The word is stacked here for you, and it is your business to believe it or not.
After the shot, my father-in-law was in high spirits and couldn't help but chant a poem.
Shiyun: "The cannon bombarded his mother, and Weijia crossed the river in the sea." Several heroes Xi Wei Liangchen, Ande giant whale went to the Western Ocean. ”
A bold poem was made of the furnace, and it was very pertinent to the occasion, the father-in-law was in a smooth mood, the orchid finger pinched the white pa, turned the big jade wrench, and looked at the head of Zhenjiang City very happily.
Good poetry! Good poetry!
After the left and right entourages were shocked by their father-in-law's talent, everyone clapped their hands in appreciation, and their words were full of self-inflicted and ashamed.
This is a believer in God who not only loves his people like a son, but is also full of wisdom!
Stellone thought.
The father-in-law happily accepted the praise of his subordinates, and he deserved it, he didn't think that this was his subordinates patting on the back, because what he had just done was indeed a good poem.
Can be sung through the ages, so that everyone knows that the poetry that literati and writers have to quote at every turn, how is it not a good poem!
It's not a good poem, how can my father-in-law know?
You must know that in the life of your father-in-law, except for the poems of the Taizu level, other poems are not eye-catching. What can enter his eyes, you can imagine what level.
A good poem should be paired with good dog meat, and my father-in-law is quite sorry that there is no cook from Pei County on the boat.
In addition to regretting, he asked someone to send a message to Zhenjiang City.
"Go and tell them, as soon as our cannon goes off, we won't get ten thousand taels of gold, and the sound of this cannon can't stop."
After the order, the father-in-law stopped posing on the river and blew the cold wind, and ordered the fleet to sail directly to Guazhou.
The governor of the maritime affairs and the ministers of the army were set up there, and if Zhenjiang City did not admit it, the father-in-law would not go back for a day.
He wanted to see how long the prefect and the wealthy merchants and gentry in the city could hold out.
At the same time, the Royal Navy divided a team, and more than a dozen ships blocked the port outside Zhenjiang City, strictly enforcing the order of Wei Gonggong, that is, except for small fishing boats, not an inch of board should go down the river.
This is seeking truth from facts, and ordinary people cannot be allowed to suffer with it, but necessary inspections are indispensable.
In view of the fact that military discipline is becoming more and more unreasonable, this time the father-in-law has issued a strict order, and it is okay to board the ship for inspection, but whoever wants to take a stitch from the people, the father-in-law will inevitably peel off the skin of his imperial army!
………
Guazhou, long flags are lined up, flags are displayed, and armor soldiers are surrounded.
Father-in-law Wei, who was dressed in a flying fish suit, climbed the silver mountain surrounded by left and right, and the cuffs of this flying fish suit had defects that were not easy to detect with the naked eye.
But the night before yesterday, when his father-in-law was "respecting the emperor and begging for adultery", he was excited to cut a section of the cuff with a dagger and tie it to his head, only to find out afterwards that he was wearing a flying fish suit.
I couldn't help it, so I had no choice but to ask Oda to hire a tailor to make up for it. The tailor's craftsmanship is good, and after making up, I can't really see that it is spliced if I don't look closely.
After this incident, the father-in-law also reminded himself not to be too excited when giving a speech, otherwise the clothes exchanged for 100,000 taels would have to be turned into a few bags of elder clothes for the beggar gang.
What the emperor has given, how can it be so wasted.
When I thought of the emperor and the 100,000 taels that the emperor "borrowed", my father-in-law felt as uncomfortable as eating a fly. What's a little better is that the 100,000 taels didn't borrow from the concubine Shouning, but solved it by himself. This is also equivalent to avoiding usury in disguise, otherwise, with Shouning's virtue of asking for money, 100,000 taels will have to receive at least 60% of the profits from the father-in-law. Maybe you can take out the baby in your belly and talk about it.
The father-in-law can't afford to provoke, borrow, or offend, so he can only solve it himself, so he has to transfer the creditor's rights.
Cao Wenyao beat the more than 200,000 taels of silver that the Hui merchant obtained, and his father-in-law specially allocated 100,000 taels to pack it, and asked Wang Tiqian to bring it back to Beijing to transfer it to the emperor for him.
Of course, he will not let Lao Wang Bai work hard, in addition to "sponsoring" the emperor's 100,000 taels of silver, his father-in-law personally reimbursed the prince's travel expenses, a total of 3,000 taels. In addition, the two brothers Li Wei and Tian Gang and several Jinyi lieutenants were also paid thousands of taels for running expenses.
In addition, he also asked Tian Gang to bring a silver ticket of 3,000 taels to his cousin Tian Ergeng, although Tian Erdai is not short of money, but this is after all a little heart of his father-in-law, and it is also to thank Tian Er for presenting the inscription on his behalf and the "ancient road hot sausage" painted by the emperor Daojun.
The father-in-law also thought that Tian Ergeng could do him a favor, but it was not Jiangnan's business, and it had nothing to do with party disputes or anything, it was a trivial matter.
The father-in-law wanted to ask Tian Ergeng to help him check where Xu Xianchun was now, and if it was possible, he hoped that Tian Ergeng could help and transfer Xu Xianchun to Jinyiwei.
In this way, when the critical time comes in the future, my father-in-law can also count on Xu Xianchun to pull the brothers.
To be honest, my father-in-law really admires Xu Xianchun very much, this one is more righteous and more reliable than Tian Ergeng, the head of the Five Biaos.
Li Wei and Tian Gang were happy when they got the money. Lao Wang said that he didn't want his father-in-law's silver, until Xiao Wei said that the prince didn't think our silver was hot?
This is a bit excessive, and it also speaks in the eyes of Wang Tiqian.
Lao Wang Kejing, why did the prefect of Yangzhou go to Slender West Lake to find him, he counted it in his stomach. Wei Liangchen sent soldiers to Xiaguan and Xiaodongmen, and he also cleared the door.
Therefore, Lao Wang didn't want to take Xiao Wei's money. Fancy is fanciing, lucky stars return to lucky stars, but one yard is one yard, Xiao Wei choked the salt merchants enough in Yangzhou, and those salt merchants are good to get along?
When you turn around, you may have something going to happen. He can ignore the affairs of Yangzhou, because this matter has nothing to do with him, he is just here to announce the decree, and he is guilty of not participating in it. The so-called do not seek merit, but seek nothing. But if you accept Xiao Wei's money, the nature will be different. Therefore, I don't want to get on my body.
But when Xiao Wei said this, he couldn't help but be wiped out by his prince.
After thinking about it again and again, thinking that the emperor really valued this little case leader, and if he made such a big deal, he would not be punished, and he also specially rewarded a flying fish suit and borrowed money secretly, Lao Wang's mind couldn't help but turn away.
In the end, I accepted it half-pushed, and then gave my leave.
Tian Gang and Li Wei were quite reluctant to leave when they left, and the two really had feelings for the head of the small case. It was still Gonggong Wei who pulled the two of them to comfort him, and then said goodbye with red eyes.
There was one thing that surprised Wang Tiqian, Li Wei, and Tian Gang, that is, when Wei Liangchen saw them off, he actually said goodbye to the Jinyi lieutenants under Li Wei and Tian Gang one by one, with a kind attitude and amiable tone, and what was even more rare was that he actually knew the names of several lieutenants and said their names one by one.
This incident made several captains sigh along the way.
………
The reason why Gonggong Wei wanted to go to Guazhou was because of Yuan Yiyuan's unfulfilled wish in Zhenjiang last time, and this wish was also what he had always wanted to do in his previous life but never had the opportunity to do.
For example, go to the West Lake to pay tribute to the first three heroes, the last three heroes, go to Jiangyin to pay tribute to the princes who resisted the Qing Dynasty, go to Yunnan to worship King Li Jin, go to see Li Laiheng buried in the wilderness, and go to the northeast to see the ancient battlefield of Hunhe...
Guazhou is a holy place and a cemetery.
Here, the ghosts of thousands of real Manchurian soldiers once floated.
Here, it was once the most glorious battle of the Han family at the end of the Southern Ming Dynasty.
Guazhou, there is a big victory!
In the three major battles of the Southern Ming Dynasty against the Qing Dynasty, Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, occupied two, one was the Battle of Hengbao and the other was the Battle of Mopan Mountain. And the remaining battle was the victory in Guazhou led by the national surname.
In the three battles, thousands of Manchurian soldiers were killed, and it was the three battles in which Manchurian lost the most real Manchurian soldiers.
According to the calculation that each flag of the Eight Banners of Manchukuo actually has a soldier, these three battles are equivalent to beating the Eight Banners into the Five Banners.
It was also the three battles in which the Ming Dynasty army annihilated the Manchurian army the most since the Liao Incident.
Although the great war in Guazhou was a matter of the previous life, Gonggong Wei walked through Guazhou and climbed the Silver Mountain, and his heart was still full of emotion.
Here, we have witnessed the strength of the Zheng ironclad soldiers, and also witnessed the ghost crying wolf of the elite of the Eight Banners of Manchuria.
In the battle of Guazhou, the puppet Qing Jiangnan Governor Guan led thousands of Manchurian elites and 10,000 green battalion Han soldiers from Nanjing to help, but was severely damaged by the Zheng army's ironclad soldiers, and thousands of Manchurian Eight Banners elites were completely annihilated.
The commander of the Qing army, Guan Zhongzhong, fled in a hurry, and only 140 of the 4,000 Manchurian soldiers in his department fled back to Nanjing, and only more than 1,000 of the remaining Han troops fled back.
After returning to Nanjing, Guan Xiaozhong cried to Lang Tingzuo, the governor of Liangjiang in the puppet Qing Dynasty, and Jing Shuoerhui, the garrison of Jiangning: "I entered the Central Plains from Manchuria, experienced seventeen battles, and never lost so badly!" ”
The first battle of Guazhou completely crossed the backbone of the Qing army in Jiangnan and shocked the southeast. There is an empty city in the southern capital, more than a dozen prefectures and counties have changed banners, the southeast can be said to be at your fingertips, and the anti-Qing situation is also new, and the Zhongxing weather is obvious!
Who would have thought that providence would make people, and in the end it turned out to be such a tragedy!
It's really heaven wants to die, and heaven wants to die.
"Here, there is a great atmosphere, but also a big regret."
What the father-in-law said, no one knew what he meant. The father-in-law also had no intention of telling his subordinates that history would never happen again, but he just waved his hand to summon Cao Wenyao, and he said that he intended to form an ironclad soldier and subordinate his father-in-law to protect him.
At present, the soldiers are tentatively set to have 500 regular soldiers, 1,000 auxiliary soldiers, all of whom are iron-armed, and all auxiliary soldiers are equipped with shields. The money, food, and silver are doubled, and the military merit and promotion are also excellent.
After returning to the SAR, the mobile detachment and the infantry battalions of the left-behind detachment, as well as the guards, will select the able-bodied men to fill the posts. But the one who chooses is given the rank of small flag.
The pro-army ironclad forbidden soldiers.
This matter made Cao Wenyao quite surprised, the father-in-law is the admiral maritime minister, led by the Royal Navy, just look at the name of the official and the name of the army, you know that in the future, the enemy will focus on robbers and robbers at home and abroad, and the war is also dominated by water warfare. Isn't this a waste of money and food?
"Coastal defense is solid, and the defense should not be neglected."
The father-in-law chuckled lightly and signaled that Cao Wenyao didn't need to ask more, just execute. Regarding the supply arrangements for the ironclad army, his old man will personally arrange them.
As long as the money, food, silver, weapons and armor are sufficient, Cao Wenyao will not object. If there is really such an ironclad elite soldier, if there is a northern incident, it will not be difficult to make contributions.
Compared with going to sea, military merit in the north is the right way for men to be promoted.
There was no reply from the Zhenjiang side, and the father-in-law had nothing to do, so he went to the river with the left and right to fish. Since the last time I fished in Gaoyou Lake, this is my father-in-law's second Yaxing Dafa.
However, the good dry Baole is not there, otherwise it would be funny.
The joy of fishing is not enough for outsiders.
My father-in-law did it himself, dug up the fragrant earthworms in the river beach, put on the hook and threw it into the river, and sat on the chair leisurely.
But I don't know if the weather is too cold, or the fish is so frightened that the tiger doesn't dare to bite the hook, and after fishing for an hour, I didn't see the float move.
The father-in-law was impatient, and at this time, Zhenjiang replied, but he still did not allow Father-in-law Wei and his entourage to enter the city.
"It's numb, the old eggs are not light, they don't let us in, can't we enter!"
The father-in-law is not so simple as being annoyed this time, he is really angry, the official Yangzhou dialect is mixed together, and the left and right sides of the listening are very big.
"Pass on our family's order and bombard Zhenjiang City!"
After the father-in-law finished speaking, he broke the fishing rod in his hand, "Our family wants to see if the wall of his Zhenjiang is hard, or our fishing rod is hard!" ”
But no one dared to obey the order, and they were stunned one by one: Father-in-law, I can't help it!
