Chapter Eighty-Nine: Righteous Merchants Follow Rong
Deng Shan saw Yu Shura walking in front of him, and hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Thank you Yu Shura for coming to help...... but saw that the woman only tilted her head slightly, "um", and stopped looking at him.
Shi Lin frowned slightly, stopped her, and said in a deep voice: "Bold, dare to be rude to His Highness......"
Su Chengyu raised his hand to stop him, and looked at the woman in front of him in surprise, seventeen or eighteen years old, with a slender figure, a fair melon seed face, like smoke willow eyebrows, delicate and pretty facial features, and a very sweet appearance.
But the outfit on her body attracted almost all of his attentionβa crisp black tweed German military uniform, a European swift sword at the waist, and a pair of black leather boots on his feet.
is completely dressed as a uniform beauty in the 21st century, Su Chengyu's heart jumped, is there more than one traveler in this world? !
He almost blurted out, "You also crossed over?" β
But there were more than a dozen people standing around, he forcibly suppressed these words, thought for a while, and asked the girl: "Lu Han or Wu Yifan, which one do you like?" β
"Huh? Lu Han...... Wu what? The girl was stunned, "I don't, I don't know." β
"Do you know Germany?" Su Chengyu asked instead. In the 17th century, Bismarck was not yet born, Germany did not exist, and only travelers knew about the country.
"No, I don't know......" The girl was so anxious that she almost cried, and she blamed herself in her heart, why didn't she expect that His Royal Highness the King of Chenzhou would take the exam when they met? I didn't answer anything, and he must have thought I was a waste who didn't know how to learn!
Deng Shan didn't see Yu Shura coming up on the side, and at this time he looked blushing, and he was puzzled in his heart, the commander of the righteous army in northern Jiangxi looked like this today?
He hurriedly stepped forward, signaled to the woman, and said to Su Chengyu: "Your Highness, this is the Ganzhou Jade Shura!" β
He whispered to Yu Shura again: "Why don't you meet His Royal Highness the King of Chenzhou?" β
Only then did Yu Shura suddenly save his mind, and he hurriedly bowed and worshipped: "The people's daughter greets His Highness." β
Su Chengyu dragged her up, wondering in his heart, it seems that she should not have crossed over, thinking that this Jade Shura should not be her real name, so he asked her again: "Your surname is Jade?" β
Yu Shura said embarrassedly: "The surname of the folk girl is Zhen, and the single name is a real character." The nickname Jade Shura was specially chosen for the purpose of calling for momentum when he went into battle. β
"Zhen Zhen." Su Chengyu nodded and continued to ask the question he was most concerned about, "Dare to ask where you got this dress?" β
"Oh, this," Zhen Zhen remembered his clothes and said busily, "Your Highness's military uniform of the Dragon Guard is customized in my Zhen family." I look at its majesty and generosity, and it fits tightly and without burden, and it is good for marching and fighting, which makes people make hundreds of more sets. In order to distinguish it from the Dragon Guards, I also specially changed them to black. β
I'll go, the patent consciousness of this era is really weak, Su Chengyu smiled bitterly in his heart, this is just a change of color as if a big change has been made, so I almost thought that I was the same traverser.
He remembered that Zhen Zhen seemed to have made hundreds of more sets just now, so her rebel army, could it be that the CD is a black version of the copycat Dragon Guard?!
In the future, we must find a way to popularize the concept of patents.
After talking for a while, Su Chengyu learned that the Zhen family was one of the famous businessmen in Jiangxi, the "Three Merchants of Jiangyou", and the family industry was all over the south of the Yangtze River.
And her father was a patriotic businessman, who once bought military rations from the south during the Battle of Songjin and transported them to Songshan for free for the Ming army for two years.
Later, when the city of Songshan fell, the old man Zhen shouted in grief and anger to avenge Hong Jingluo, and led the grain transporter Ding to rush into the Qing army with a knife, cut down dozens of prisoners and was shot to death.
And the saddest thing is that Hong Chengchou and Hong Jingluo, for whom he died, later surrendered to the Qing court and became the vanguard of the destruction of the Ming Dynasty.
Since her father's death, Zhen Zhen began to inherit her father's legacy, spending her family wealth to send food to the Ming army on various battlefields. For the sake of safety on the road, she also hired a famous teacher to learn martial arts.
Later, when she encountered a small group of robbers on the road, she led the escort family to fight back, relying on calm command and dispatch, and repeatedly killed the thieves.
When Jin Shenghuan invaded Jiangxi after the Qing Dynasty, she simply pulled up a pole of men and horses to become a righteous army, and attacked and harassed the Qing army everywhere.
Because the Zhen family has considerable financial resources, her jade Shura almost bears nearly half of the grain and grass supply of more than ten righteous troops in the three prefectures of northern Jiangxi.
"If it weren't for the Jade Shura to support the battle situation in northern Jiangxi, I'm afraid that the rebels here would have been wiped out by the thieves long ago."
When Deng Shan said this, several volunteers gave a thumbs up and nodded yes.
This sentence made Su Chengyu a little strange, and he couldn't help asking: "It is said that the rebel army in the three prefectures of northern Jiangxi is the most prosperous in Jiangxi, and the total number of people from all walks of life can exceed 10,000. And the Qing army in these three prefectures is only three or four thousand people, how can it still be a situation where thieves are strong and I am weak? β
Zhen Zhen couldn't answer the "examination school" of King Chenzhou just now, and hurriedly replied at this time: "Your Highness doesn't know, although there are many rebel armies in Raozhou, Nankang, and Jiujiang, they are divided into more than ten routes, which are too scattered and do not belong to each other, and even the rebels sometimes have conflicts between them. The imperial court didn't care too much about these rebels.
Therefore, when the thieves are prepared, the rebels are often defeated. In addition, Shangrao Ke Yongsheng is quite close to here, and from time to time he sweeps the three mansions with thousands of Qing troops, which is a great blow to the righteous army. β
Deng Shan hurriedly said: "Ke Yongsheng's fang will no longer be rampant in the future, His Royal Highness the King of Chenzhou has annihilated his entire army a few days ago!" β
"Really?!" Zhen Zhen immediately rejoiced, "Without Ke Yongsheng, plus the arrival of the Dragon Guard Army in northern Jiangxi, we will definitely be able to pacify the three mansions in one fell swoop!" β
She looked at Su Chengyu and said excitedly: "Your Highness, I am willing to lead my troops to follow Your Highness, saddle up the horse and kill all the thieves!" β
Deng Shan also immediately bowed his hand and said, "The Iron Mountain Camp is willing to follow His Highness!" β
Su Chengyu shook his head silently, his most important goal was only one, and that was Nanchang! Although most of the three prefectures in northern Jiangxi are now in the hands of the Qing army, the righteous army has a lot of combat effectiveness here, and it is not appropriate for the Yilong Guard to waste time here.
The main problems of the Northern Ganbei Rebel Army were the lack of unified command and poor armament. If these two points can be solved, then the Qing army in northern Jiangxi should be cleared by them soon.
And if these rebels are allowed to fight with the Dragon Guards, due to the difference in training and combat level, they can play a very limited role. Not to mention anything else, just the marching speed of the Dragon Guard, the rebel army will definitely not be able to keep up.
Therefore, the best way is to integrate the rebel army and allocate them with better weapons and equipment. Even by sending officers and instructors to them to help them improve their combat effectiveness, they can cultivate a new fighting force for the Ming Dynasty in northern Jiangxi.
Thinking of this, he looked at Deng Shan and Zhen Zhen, "I intend to integrate the rebel army of the three prefectures in northern Jiangxi, what do you think?" β
