[Thanks to the 1,000 coin reward of 'Kuai Fengxing', and the 500 coin reward of 'Yunru My Core']
Night falls. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The city of Yichang has fallen into a deep sleep, and the more than 10,000 Fu Han troops stationed here are silent, and the entire city seems to have returned to the order of the past.
Chen Ming lived in the Yamen of Yichang Daotai, who had previously led the army to Jingzhou, and then was led by Shi Liang to besiege Wuchang, and all the soldiers and people were buried inside. Zhou Wenjue also served as his own prefect of Yichang.
Chen Ming, who entered Yichang City, was not in a hurry to attack Nanjin Pass, he was not interested in the territory of the Three Gorges area west of Yichang, and now was not the time to plan that, Chen Ming was about to go south to Yueyang. Since he entered Yichang, first of all, the Shi Nan Turen 'anyway', Tian Tianci and Tian Maojun of the Tian family, as well as Qin Chuying, Qin Huiying and others of the Qin family, widely dispersed family property, recruited private soldiers, and colluded with the local soldiers recruited by the Shi Nan government to take down the city of Shi Nanfu Enshi in one fell swoop, and took down the prefect, Tongzhi, general judgment, and teachings of Shi Nan Mansion - Wang Jigui, Liu Yucheng, Qin Tianxing and others, Tian Tianci and Qin Chuying personally escorted Wang Liu Qin and others, led thousands of local soldiers and a batch of grain, grass and silver money, and went north to Yichang.
It is equivalent to saying that in the ghost place of Shi Nan, the Fu Han army did not spend a single soldier, and the Tian Qin clan did things perfectly.
After all, Rongmei Tusi and Shi Nan Tusi were the leaders of the Tusi in Western Hubei Province, and although the other clans such as Xiang, Peng, Tan, and Ran were still holding their troops, they did not interfere with the rebellion of the Tian Qin clan.
Emperor Yongzheng's change of land and return to the stream, in the eyes of future generations and the central government, it is the trend of the times and an unstoppable torrent, but in the eyes of these Tusi families, it is pumping their blood and digging their roots!
Even if the entire 'change of land and return to the stream' in western Hubei has not really started to use swords, guns and cannons, who would really think that these toasts are absolutely willing?
After the news of the 'rebellion' of the Shi Nan Turen reached Beijing, Qianlong, the Military Aircraft Department, and the ministers of various ministries and institutes did not take it seriously, and they had long been mentally prepared for this.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Different from the silent Yichang City, under the Nanjin Pass, the artillery of the Fu Han Army carried the nimble and light mortar guns around. The shells they fired didn't need to be very accurate, as long as they could fall into Nanjin Pass, anyway, there were no ordinary people in Nanjin Pass, and even the villages outside the pass were empty.
Each artillery group carried only eight shells and two bombers, and after the battle, they fell silent, waiting for the gunners to go back and get the shells.
The flowering shells used in the mortar are loaded in the rope sleeve, and there are also hair and projection bags in a piece, and the two rope shells are tied together, just like the blanket, and one person can put one on the left and right shoulders to carry four flowering shells. But you can't finish fighting one by one, and immediately go back to bring shells, because the battlefield is blind in the dark, and the mortar is a cannon to change places, if you don't know where the gun position stops, it's easy to mess up.
Tian Tianci and Qin Chuying have been watching outside Nanjin Pass for two days, and they watched the Fu Han army use cannons during the day and small cannons at night, and the sound of artillery seems to have never disappeared from Nanjin Pass throughout the day.
It's a way the two never imagined fighting.
Back then, Tian Mingru also armed his own Tusi private army with cannons and muskets, but the number was too small and too small. Many people say that compared with the entire Fu Han Army, the guns of the Fu Han Army in Yichang are many times more than the original Rongmei Tusi.
Moreover, Tian Mingru's original cannon was definitely not as far as today's cannon, and the weight was far less than that of a five-catty cannon and an eight-catty cannon.
Tian Tianci and Qin Chuying knew in their hearts before they came to Yichang that the Fu Han army would definitely take the opportunity to deter them. But they were still shocked. Dozens of cannons and dozens of small cannons of the Fu Han army bombarded day and night, and the Qing army also gathered dozens of cannons at Nanjin Pass, counterattacking with all their might, regardless of whether they hit or not.
The smoke of gunpowder filled the Nanjin Pass, and the wind could not blow cleanly.
The bilateral artillery battle made these two Tujia 'elites' deeply understand that there is no room for the Tujia people to open their mouths in this world. Their capital is too small and too worthless. Whether it is for the Manchu Qing Dynasty or Chen Han, it is at most the icing on the brocade, a little more beautiful, and a little less is not a big deal.
Even if Chen Ming has already named them the prefect of Shinan and the prefect of Rongmei, he has broken the previous Shinan Mansion in half!
"The Three Gorges of the Yangtze River is like a moat, and it is too difficult and difficult to attack." The day after Chen Ming took Yichang with the army, he said this at the military meeting. He won't fight the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, the conditions are too difficult, if he wants to enter the customs, he would rather go to Hanzhong. At present, the line from Hubei to Sichuan, except for the Yangtze River, there is really no official road even the smallest and narrowest in China in this era.
As for the sheep intestine trails hidden in the lofty mountains, Chen Ming knew that many of them were roads that were made by smugglers with their lives, but they were by no means suitable for the march of large armies, especially the Fu Han army, which relied more and more on logistics and transportation. The high mountains and mountains have stopped the westward advance of the Fu Han army in the short term.
Nanjin Pass was the last battle in western Hubei.
……
Lushan, the yamen of the military headquarters of the Fu Han Army. This so-called military department is the original military department. The terms of reference are also similar to those of the military department in Beijing, which is only responsible for the selection and punishment of military positions, military registration, ordnance, imprisonment, etc., and does not involve specific military powers. The military power of the Fu Han army was completely in the hands of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.
The person who served as the secretary of the military department was Zhang Chi, one of Chen Hui's henchmen.
The beginning and end of each month is the busiest time for the military department, because in the first three days of each month, the recruitment offices in various places will report to Lushan on the recruitment of new recruits, and the recruit training camps in various places will also report to the Lushan military headquarters on the specific entry and exit situation.
The boot camp is in and out every month, and then the distribution of recruits is not under their control.
The changes in these data and the corresponding changes in the amount of materials, the military department needs to have a specific data, and then communicate with the logistics department.
Zhang Chi used to work in the General's Mansion, but now he has taken on the big job, no big mistakes have been made, small mistakes are frequent, there is no way, no one can jump into a high position and be able to do it immediately after jumping into a high position. What's more, this military department yamen is also newly established, and the previous affairs were all under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Governor's Office.
-- Chen Ming is gone, but the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and the Deputy Governor are not.
For three days, Zhang Chi did not go home, and took out a hundred efforts to be as perfect and accurate as possible, and then on the fourth day, he had to take the report to see Chen Hui, which should be in triplicate, with one copy from the military department, one from Chen Hui, and one from the logistics department.
On the fourth day of the ninth lunar month, Zhang Chi, who successfully put on smoky makeup, took the fold and went straight to the Han Palace. After seeing Chen Hui, he put the fold on the ground, and Chen Er had already beckoned someone to bring an embroidered pier.
Chen Hui was called king, and Chen Han also set up a department similar to the Ministry of Internal Affairs - the Internal Affairs Department. Chen Er is the deputy head of the Internal Affairs Department, and the people who are in charge are the Seventh Duke, the Ninth Duke, and Uncle Huang, which is similar to an honorary position, and it is only one of such positions. It is Chen Er who does practical things.
Chen Er now has a tuba, called Chen Zhongsheng, and Chen Hui gave it to him. Because there are no eunuchs in the Han Palace, Chen Er is still in charge of his 'big inner and chief manager'.
According to Li Xiaomei to Chen Ming, since Chen Er became the deputy head of the Internal Affairs Department, he has quit drinking, smoking, meat, onions, ginger and garlic and all other irritating condiments, and only eats vegetables, because the meat has a strong taste, and the vegetables are eaten at night. At noon, I only drink tea and snacks, because I am afraid that there will be shredded vegetables between my teeth and a peculiar smell in my mouth. I didn't even dare to let go of my stomach to eat and drink when I drank water and snacks, for fear that I would come to and urine when I was serving Chen Hui......
Chen Ming also obeyed him. The talent of this kind of person is to serve people!
Just like Wu Shulai, the great eunuch beside Qianlong, Fu Heng would not offend him easily, and Zhang Chi also smiled at Chen Er. But I don't know that my face is tired, my face is pale, my two panda eyes, and my face looks very ordinary, this smile is like a ghost. It was also Chen Er's strong psychology that made him not lose his temper.
Sitting on the embroidery pier, tiredness drilled from his flabby feet to the flesh and marrow, and in an instant his limbs and bones were soft and fluttering. Zhang Chi looked extremely tired, weak, and sat so low that it seemed like his waist was about to collapse. Obviously sitting on an embroidery pier, but he made a feeling of being paralyzed here.
"There are more than 800 people in the Huang'an area?" Chen Hui said in surprise. Last month, he remembered that there were only more than 100 people in Huang'an County. This is already very dazzling in Huangzhou Mansion.
"Great King, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion put several military granges in Huang'an and Macheng last month, and the effect ......" was immediate. This month, the number of people joining the army in various places has exploded en masse, not individual prefectures and counties. But Huang'an, located at the southern foot of the Dabie Mountains, is the most affected. There are many people in that place, and after seeing the military grange and seeing the example, the people's passion is beyond imagination.
Zhang Chi and Chen Hui, who was sitting at the top, didn't know that in another time and space, the name of this county was changed to Hong'an by Rabbit, which is a famous general county in China in the 21st century, an old red base area, and naturally a notoriously poor place.
Poor places have always been places to send strong troops, Dabie Mountain is a treasure trove, as long as you develop it carefully, hehe, only the strong soldiers that come out here are enough for the Fu Han army to gallop the world.
"Is the rural work team on East Road still in Huangzhou? Let them not rush to Wuchang, take a good turn in the Huangju counties in the north, work hard, publicize well, and publicize well......"
In the first month of August, a total of 6,000 recruits were enrolled in the prefectures and counties of the Fu Han Army, and 1,700 recruits came out of the recruit training camp. Now, under the pretext of replenishing the strength of the troops, we can continue to adjust and readjust......
The military merit field designed by Chen Ming is a kind of alternative 'fighting local tyrants and dividing the land', but the local tyrants are all the Chen Han government, and the fields that Chen Han gave to the soldiers below are all its official fields, and the objects of the land distribution are also narrowed down to only the soldiers. But the torrent driven by this is already not to be underestimated! (To be continued.) )
