Chapter 436 Zheng Clan Training
Before Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, Zheng Chenggong entered Anping in the south, persuaded for the last time, and was placed under house arrest by Zheng Zhilong in Anping City, when his mother secretly released him, the Qing army took Fuzhou through the scriptures, and his original men and horses either died or surrendered, and only a small part fled south and was collected by him.
After that, the Qing soldiers coveted the wealth of the Zheng family in Anping City, although Zheng Zhilong had surrendered to the Qing, but the Qing soldiers still broke through Anping, Zheng Chenggong's mother Tian Chuan, after being insulted by the Qing soldiers, committed suicide in shame, and strengthened Zheng Chenggong's heart to resist the Qing, and the Qing soldiers treacherously attacked Anping and robbed the Zheng family's property, which also made the Zheng clansmen who originally followed Zheng Zhilong to the Qing Dynasty have doubts and switched to Zheng Chenggong, enhancing his strength.
In the land of Jinxia, there are more than 400,000 soldiers and civilians, but most of them are ordinary gentry and ordinary people, and the real Zheng army has less than 20,000 people, and most of them are new soldiers, and they have not yet formed combat strength.
Wang Yan, as the cabinet of the imperial court, proposed to inspect Zheng Chenggong's men, for Zheng Chenggong, he could not ask for it, and Zheng Chenggong's strength in history did not develop into a threatening force to the Qing Dynasty until the Battle of Tong'an in 1648.
At this time, it was the third year of Longwu, and in 1647 AD, Zheng Chenggong had just set up a team, and he urgently needed the support of the imperial court.
Zheng Chenggong then led Wang Yan and others to Gulangyu by boat, which was close to the land controlled by the Qing soldiers and held the mouth of the Jiulong River and Xixi, and the location was very important.
On the island, there were forts, eighteen-pound Hongyi cannons, three of them, and other small cannons, so that the Qing ships did not dare to approach casually.
The reason why Zheng Chenggong chose to train troops in Gulangyu was to separate the army and the people, prevent the harassment of the people and insult women, and enable the soldiers to concentrate on training.
There were 10,000 soldiers stationed on Gulangyu Island, all of whom were new soldiers, most of whom were young men who fled to Jinxia, and some of them were sailors who originally served the Zheng family.
When a group of people went to the island, they heard the roar of the officer on the training ground from a distance, "On the sea, the wind and waves are high, the two armies are fighting, fighting at sea for a few days and nights, that is a common thing, the ship is not as good as the land, you soft bones, you can't stand on the ground for an hour, how can you get on the ship?" When you get to the sea, you can't stand firmly, how to break the enemy, and in the end you can only be thrown into the sea by the enemy to feed the fish! Now they are all standing up straight, the sun does not set, and no one is allowed to move. \u000bWang Yan stood on the high platform, looked at the soldiers standing straight on the beach, and saw a general patrolling in front of the soldiers, and if he was slightly dissatisfied, he directly kicked over, extremely stern, and then Zheng Chenggong said: "Who will this be?" ”
Zheng Chenggong smiled slightly, and gave a few orders to a personal soldier, who immediately clenched his fists and ran towards the beach, and he replied more and more proudly: "This person is Gan Hui, the subordinate general of Chenggong, what does the cabinet think?" ”
Wang Yan smiled: "Good generals." ”
At this time, Gan Hui listened to the whispers of Zheng Chenggong's personal guards, looked back at Wang Yan and his party, and said loudly to the standing soldiers: "The surname of the country is watching from behind, you all give the general honesty." ”
After speaking, he called a few sailors and generals, and hurriedly walked together, and when they came to him, they immediately bowed and saluted, "The last general and others will see the surname of the country." ”
"General Gan is exempt!" Zheng Chenggong signaled again: "This is the cabinet department, the Duke of Chu, you should quickly salute." ”
Gan Hui and the others were slightly stunned, and after reacting, they were suddenly shocked, their eyes were hot, and they all saluted respectfully: "The last general and others will visit the cabinet." ”
Zheng's army retreated to Jinxia, like an orphan at sea, the army and the people gathered here, in the face of the Qing court, which had occupied most of the world in Fujian, they resisted the Qing with an isolated island, and it was inevitable that they would have a sense of powerlessness in their hearts, and they would definitely be a little uneasy, and Wang Yan's arrival actually boosted the morale of Zheng's army.
First of all, he is a famous general of the anti-Qing Dynasty, his prestige is very high, his reputation is spread in China, the Qing court in the north hates him to the bone, as a big trouble, the emperor Zhang Xianzhong of the west of the West, he also has to call him Wang Jingluo, he himself can give great encouragement to the anti-Qing soldiers, and secondly, he is an important minister of the imperial court, his arrival shows that the imperial court has not forgotten Jin Xia, knowing that they are an anti-Qing army, so that they feel that the Tao is not alone, like-minded people, they are not alone. \u000bWang Yan nodded with a smile, realizing that they didn't have to be polite, then pointed to the soldiers on the training ground, looked at Gan Hui and asked with a smile, "What is the effect of General Gan's training like this?" ”
When Gan Hui heard this, he proudly hugged his fists and said: "Back to the cabinet, what is the effect, the last general will say it, it will inevitably make people feel that they are selling and boasting, and the cabinet department still asks others what they think, which is more convincing." ”
Wang Yan laughed, and then pointed to the general and asked, "What does this general think?" ”
"Back to the cabinet department, the last general admires General Gan's training so much!" The general came out of the column and hugged his fists.
Wang Yan could see that it was from the bottom of his heart, and Gan Hui heard that his voice leaked out of his smugness, so Wang Yan immediately laughed: "Why do you say that? ”
"Back to the cabinet department, the last general Lin Yi, originally begged for a life in the Fujian Sea, learned that after the country surnamed Ye recruited troops to resist the Qing Dynasty in Jinxia, he led more than 1,000 people under his command to come to serve, they were all uninhibited, unruly, and casual people, but in the hands of General Gan, in just one month, it was as if it had been reborn, and it had completely changed.
This general did not forget to bring his name so that the cabinet could have an image of him, and Wang Yan also understood that this Lin Yi was originally a pirate on the sea, and his subordinates were all wild bandits, and Gan Hui was able to clean them up and obey, which shows that his ability is extraordinary.
From this point of view, Zheng Chenggong's more than 10,000 new army originally had many sailors and pirates who were good at water and proficient in ship control.
In this way, Wang Yan returned to Guangzhou, and before the spring ploughing arrived, he could immediately start attacking Zhangzhou.
Wang Yan laughed, "It seems that General Gan's training method is indeed extraordinary, and this official hopes that General Gan can sort out the experience of training, and then come up with a fold, and this official believes that His Majesty will definitely reward the general." ”
"No~" Gan Hui hurriedly responded, with excitement on his face.
At this time, Zheng Chenggong immediately waved his hand, "Okay, you can continue training." ”
After everyone left, Zheng Chenggong led Wang Yan and continued to move forward, and soon after, they came to a sea surface, only to see a hundred warships, shuttling back and forth on the sea, one moment into a human word, and a moment into a word, obviously practicing the battle formation of the sailors.
Zheng's crisscrossing the Fujian Sea for many years, although it fell apart, but the foundation is still there, there are a large number of proficient in navigation, ship management, sail control talents, Zheng Chenggong as long as a little rectification, can form a naval division that can conquer the war, and on the other hand, although Wang Yan has invested a lot, but to form a naval division that dominates the South Seas, it is very difficult, the key problem is the lack of talents at sea, the lack of experienced sailors, the lack of pilots who are familiar with the route.
At this time, as soon as Wang Yan came, he noticed a large sea ship, which was completely different from the shape of the Fu Ship, his hull was narrower, but it was twice the size of the other ships, and the three masts stood tall, far higher than the Fu Ship, and all the commands for the change of ship formation on the sea were issued by him, like a mobile fortress on the sea.
At this time, Wang Yan couldn't help but point to the giant ship and said to Zheng Chenggong: "Is that the imitation of the Dutch three-masted warship?" ”
Zheng Chenggong nodded, "Serious business!" ”
"Boom~"
At this moment, on the side of the huge ship, there was a sudden burst of cannon fire, and thirty guns on the side opened fire at the same time, and a burst of gunpowder smoke filled the air, and on the sea, a three-zhang long target ship was suddenly torn apart.
Wang Yan looked at the wooden planks floating on the sea in surprise in surprise, and was a little shocked in his heart.
