Chapter 178: Grandma Qin
On the same day that Yang Feng set off on his expedition to the west, news of the Ming army's capture of Tanegashima also reached Nanjing.
According to Shen Tingyang's report, the battle of Tanegashima of the Ming army was like child's play. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
There are a total of 500 defenders on this island, of which there are only a few dozen samurai, and the rest are all cannon fodder Ashigaru, when the Ming army landed, they launched a counterattack very bravely, dozens of samurai with those Ashigaru with small flags stuck behind their backs, roaring and waving spears that were a bit like Ge, rushed towards less than half of the battalion of the Ming army that had just been assembled.
Then he was bombarded by a twenty-pound mortar cannon that had just been lifted off the ship.
When the flowering bomb exploded in the middle of the ashigaru, they immediately turned around and ran.
Then at this time, two battalions of field guns of the Ming army also came ashore, and then two barrels of scattered bombs fell past the samurai.
The ferocity of the Ming invaders shocked the warriors, and then the warriors who were not dead immediately ran away, they ran back to a small castle that looked like a landlord's mansion, but this castle had neither a moat nor a decent city wall, but more wooden fences, when the Ming army completed the landing, put a full twenty field guns and eighteen mortar guns in the city after a round of salvo, those wooden fences were basically abandoned, and finally in order to insure Huang Xu bombarded ten rounds of shells before launching an attack.
And then......
And then there was nothing then.
More than 3,000 Ming infantry stepped on the dead corpses of the Japanese army everywhere with a single charge, easily flooding this small castle, and by the way, I enjoyed the seppuku performance of several defeated samurai.
As for the reinforcements of the Japanese army......
Shimazu Mitsuhisa sent a few ships, but unfortunately just out of Kagoshima, was waiting outside Zhang Mingzhen to scum, it is estimated that Tokugawa Iemitsu got the news, and made a decision to send a naval army to arrive before, Shimazu Mitsuhisa will not continue to send troops, even if he wants to send troops does not have the ability, now the two sides are discussing the cause of the war, but because of Shen Tingyang's arrogant attitude, as well as Shimazu Mitsuhisa's inexplicability, it is difficult to discuss the result between the two sides, after all, no matter how the discussion is......
It's all about chickens and ducks.
Since this was the case, Yang Feng no longer cared about this, and the fleet he took traveled along the Yangtze River to Yiling one stop at a time, and then His Majesty the Emperor disappeared.
Disappeared with him, along with two entire brigades of infantry.
A month later, when the main flotilla of the Ming army was slowly dragged by the slender men through the famous shoals, and then appeared in Kuimen, and began to tentatively bombard the fortress of the Great Western Army in Qutang Pass with mortars, His Majesty the Emperor, who had been missing for a whole month, rode his tired and thin rhinoceros, and led two infantry brigades of the Dangkou Army and 10,000 old-style Ming troops, appeared in a place that no one expected.
"This is the poor mountain and bad water!"
Along the hundred-mile wasteland opened up by Fu Youde when he attacked Sichuan, His Majesty the Emperor, who had traveled for a long time in the mountains and mountains, stood on the bank of a river, looked at a small city on the opposite bank and sighed.
And all around him are the seemingly endless lofty mountains, so to speak, there are really no three feet flat, all of them are one after another undulating mountains, between these mountains are harvested terraces, rugged and winding mountain roads, from time to time you can see the hunters with shuttle darts on their shoulders, bows and arrows at their waists, and all kinds of wild beasts on the shuttle darts, and on the opposite city wall, a large number of soldiers with bird guns on their backs and ash poles and spears like hook and sickle in their hands are watching them curiously.
This is a stone pillar.
In front of him was a wooden bridge.
At the end of the wooden bridge, the city gate had been opened, and an old lady who was tall, looked about seventy, with a head full of white hair, but was wearing the official uniform of the imperial court, and on her chest was still representing the highest rank, the lion complement of the first-class military attaché, surrounded by a large group of men and women in official uniforms, and walked like the wind, carrying a cane that was estimated to be purely an ornament.
Yang Feng looked at this domineering old lady with interest.
The latter looked at him but was stunned for a moment.
"Qin Aiqing, don't you know me?"
Yang Feng sat on the rhinoceros and smiled.
The old lady came to her senses and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, while all the people behind her, along with the soldiers on the rear wall, knelt down and kowtowed.
"The minister is the right pillar of the country, the doctor of Guanglu, the chief military officer of Sichuan and other places, holding the seal of the general of Zhendong, the governor of the left capital of the Chinese army, and the young guard Qin Liangyu knocks to see Your Majesty."
The old lady said in a loud voice.
"Qin Aiqing is flat, Aiqing has worked hard all these years."
Yang Feng said with satisfaction.
So saying, he got off the rhinoceros and lifted her up.
Grandma Qin has not been easy these years, at this time, the whole territory of Sichuan, including those Tusi, basically surrendered to Zhang Xianzhong, only her stone pillar still erected the Ming banner, before her white pole soldiers in the defense of Chongqing because of a group of pig teammates and suffered heavy losses, only some remnants remained, relying on the stone pillar This place of the mountains and mountains to stick to, and Zhang Xianzhong has been fighting for nearly three years, and it can be regarded as a lonely loyalty.
"The old minister's duty is related, even if he dies on the battlefield, he will not dare to live up to His Majesty's trust!"
Grandma Qin said with tears in her eyes.
"That's right, if the Ming Dynasty is a loyal minister like Aiqing, how can those thieves be rampant, but Qin Aiqing can rest assured, now Jiannu has been wiped out, and rebellion has also been wiped out, although there are still some remnants of the Ming Dynasty who are still surviving, but there is no need to worry, my Ming Dynasty will return to a peaceful and prosperous era, and Aiqing can also enjoy the blessings, take the map!"
Yang Feng said and stretched out his hand to the back.
A staff officer immediately presented the map.
"Qin Aiqing, pick by yourself, except for those specially marked places, except for my palace, Aiqing can pick other places at will, after your husband's family is Ma Yuan, then I will give you a Fubo Marquis, the place you pick is your fiefdom, the system I have determined, the marquis is 35,000 acres, and the place you pick is divided into 35,000 acres of fertile land for you, and it will be inherited by your descendants from generation to generation!"
Yang Feng said.
Grandma Qin was stupid, although she had seen the emperor before, but she had the impression that the emperor was neither this figure nor this style, if it weren't for the two uncles and nephews of the Tong family standing next to the emperor, Shi Zhouwei, she would suspect that she had met a fake emperor.
"Your Majesty is only giving you!"
She hurriedly returned the map and said.
"Then live a long life, close to it, it is convenient for you to go in the past, and the name is also auspicious, and the decree will seal Qin Liangyu as the Marquis of Longevity!"
Yang Feng looked at the map and said.
So the first ladylord of the Ming Dynasty appeared like this, anyway, Qin Liangyu also set too many precedents, whether it is the Right Pillar State, the Guanglu Doctor or the Left Governor, Shaobao She is truly unique, not to mention that there is a completely powerful official position like a chief military officer.
In Qin Liangyu's choked thanksgiving voice, His Majesty the Emperor's army entered Shizhu City through the wooden bridge, in fact, this is the location of the modern Shizhu County, but at this time this is not a prefecture, but a separate Shizhu Xuanfu envoy, Qin Liangyu's husband's Ma family hereditary Xuanfu envoy, but her husband and only son died at this time, the former was framed in prison, the latter died in Xiangyang, and now there are two grandsons left, and then her grandson Ma Wannian was also simply named Xuanfu by Yang Feng, as for the other grandson Ma Wanchun is simpler, Follow the emperor and wait for training after returning to Beijing, and then train and train, and when there is a suitable position, it will be reused.
Of course, Yang Feng didn't give Grandma Qin so many benefits for nothing.
He had to ask Grandma Qin to send troops.
"I want to lead an army to Chengdu!"
Yang Feng said lying on the map.
"Your Majesty, you shouldn't be in danger!"
Tong Tianyue, director of the staff department of the Nanjing Military Department, said in horror.
He is Shi Zhouwei, he and his nephew Shi Zhouwei commanded the Fu Shi Tong Fuyuan, that is, the extra 10,000 old army commanders under Yang Feng, which are all Shi Zhouwei's, originally in history these people and the Kuidong Thirteen have been united to resist the Qing Dynasty, although in the end Shi Zhouwei still surrendered, but they also resisted until 1662. Although these farmers in the old guard station said that they could not fight, they were all responsible for transporting Yang Feng's ammunition and materials, from Yiling to Shizhouwei's hundred-mile barren road, from Shizhouwei to Shizhu's post road, the ammunition and food of the Ming army of the two infantry brigades had to be carried by people, or transported by those small donkeys and ponies, and the 10,000 old army was his transport team.
Yang Feng looked at Grandma Qin.
"Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that he has taken a risk."
Grandma Qin said frankly.
"It is indeed a clever plan to follow Deng Aihua Shu, but Zhang Xianzhong is not the queen of Shu, at this time the thief army is indeed in Kuimen and Chongqing, according to the old minister, the Chengdu thief army is less than 50,000, and they are all old and weak only used to suppress the Shu people, Zhang Reverse and the tyrannical Shu people have long wanted to chase them, and the people around the king will definitely welcome the king into Shu. Lao Chen's subordinates can gather 10,000 soldiers, His Majesty brought nearly 20,000, 30,000 troops to attack Zhongzhou first, Zhongzhou thief army only 10,000, full attack will definitely be able to overcome. Kezhongzhou went straight to the Dianjiang River and then to Nanchong, although the mountains along the way are blocked, but the old minister's department is not afraid of the mountains, after arriving in Nanchong, you can go straight to Chengdu along the official road, and the main force of the thief army from Chongqing is bound to be too late to reinforce against the current. ”
With the help of the people, Chengdu will inevitably go down in a war.
But Your Majesty is supreme, you can't take such a risk, the old minister is familiar with the situation in Shuzhong, although he is old and frail, he still rides a war horse, and is willing to act on behalf of His Majesty. ”
Then she said.
Yang Feng smiled, then stood up and walked outside.
Qin Liangyu and Tong Tianyue hurried out.
Yang Feng looked to both sides, and suddenly stared at a stone lion next to him, he walked over and grabbed it with both hands, and after trying it, it was slightly heavier than his big axe, His Majesty the Emperor unceremoniously roared and raised it above his head, walked a few steps in countless exclamations, and then roared again, and threw his arms outward at the same time. The stone lion flew straight out like a cannonball, and smashed on a wall more than ten meters away in a blink of an eye, and with a loud bang, the wall turned into countless gravel and erupted, and the stone lion smashed on the ground at the same time, and continued to row forward with the ploughed soil, and then rowed several meters before stopping.
"Qin Aiqing, are you still afraid of any danger from me?"
Yang Feng clapped his hands, turned his head and said to the petrified Qin Liangyu and the others.
