Chapter 232: Strange Goods
Kangfu City, southwest of Jiangxi, Xingzi County.
The heavy city gate has been completely blown open, the city gate tower has collapsed in half, the female wall battlements are full of gaps and fragments, and the stones and soil bags filled by the Qing army in the city gate hole are being emptied by the prisoners of war driven by the Fu Han army. Yang Shijin had already returned to the cabin and sat down on his back in a chair. His injuries have healed, but his back has also left sequelae, and his back hurts when he stands for a long time.
Today's battle was completely unexpected by the Qing army, and the Fu Han army was caught off guard by the defenders and militia groups in Xingzi County, and now the Qing army's defeat is irreversible. Some of the sailors of the sailor battalion joined the siege. Jiangxi ordered Wu Hubing to flee in the wilderness, and soon the team would be able to enjoy the fruits of victory happily.
Yang Shijin smiled very happily, since the formation of the Navy Division, first the Jiujiang counterattack, and then the south to Nanchang, sweeping the shores of Poyang Lake, the Navy Division Battalion has been in the limelight again and again. Now the Sailor Battalion is the main participant, and together with the two infantry battalions, it has taken Nankang Mansion, which has been operated by the Qing Army in Jiangxi Province as a key point since Jiujiang Mansion was occupied by the Fu Han Army.
"It really couldn't be prettier!"
Yang Shijin felt that after this battle, the position of the Sailor Battalion in the Fu Han Army would be completely consolidated. It should be clear that after the Fu Han Army won the Jiujiang counterattack, because the naval division battalion was about to be transferred, in order to clear the water threat in the short term, Chen Yongsheng sent two infantry battalions to cooperate with the naval division battalion to sweep the shores of Poyang Lake in the south, and clean up all the fishing boats and cargo ships hidden in the harbor wharf and reeds. Moreover, the sailor battalion accompanied the Fu Han army at the head of the two battalions to the outside of Nanchang City, and the panicked Wu Shaoshi hurriedly transferred the Qing soldiers and militia groups from Nankang Mansion to the south to help, and then the Fu Han army, which had the convenience of water conservancy, killed a horse gun in Xingzi County, and the battle was won neatly. At a very small cost, they took Xingzi County, the main base of the Qing army in Jiangxi.
An hour later, Yang Shijin and Chen Yanxue walked into the Nankang Mansion, who was the commander-in-chief of the army. He was originally the battalion deputy of the tank battalion, and under the rapid expansion of the total strength of the Fu Han Army, some officers of the tank battalion were also transferred out one after another, such as Lu Hu and Chen Yanxue. The two original second-in-command, third-in-command, and Shi Meng, the first commander of the tank battalion, were the three fierce generals under Chen Ming in his early days. But now that Chen Yanxue and Lu Hu have been transferred, it is clear that they have lost the competition with Shi Meng in the tank battalion. The battalion officer of the tank battalion, the first ace battalion of the Fu Han Army, Chen Ming finally chose Shi Meng instead of Lu Hu or Chen Yanxue, his own family.
The officials of the Nankang Mansion have fled, not to mention the Nankang Prefect, and no one has seen their corpses.
Unconsciously, the direction of the wind has changed, and the local officials of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, who frequently cut themselves off at the beginning, are now slipping away more and more than one by one. This is not to say that the moral standards of these people are rapidly declining, but that the Manchu Qing Dynasty is gradually relaxing the 'accountability' of local officials who have lost their land and cities.
Maybe the prefect of Nankang himself will be beheaded, but it is also possible that he will only be dismissed from office, or even demoted to stay in office. When the situation of certain death becomes a glimmer of life, hehe, the 'discipline' of those magistrates will fall down unstoppably from the gods.
……
A group of people rushed towards the prison in Nankang Mansion. The leader has three red copper five-pointed stars on his chest, which is the symbol of a sergeant officer in the Fu Han Army, and this person is Deng Yun. At the time of the Battle of Rolling River last year, he was only a small soldier, but after more than half a year, he was already a sergeant officer. And he is a highly qualified or meritorious officer with outstanding combat achievements, otherwise he would not have worn the third red star.
This is the case with a rapidly expanding ranks, both officers and men with ample opportunities that peacetime armies cannot imagine, although the military qualities of the officers are inversely proportional to the rate of expansion of the army. Too many soldiers who fought bravely were promoted to rank and file officers, and rank and file officers became mid-level officers. In such frequent reshuffles, the army has endured the tempering of one war after another, five battles will turn a soldier into a qualified grassroots officer, and ten battles will make a grassroots officer understand everything that a middle-level officer should have.
This is a process of big waves and sands, and countless people have come out of nowhere; Countless people fell on the battlefield.
Deng Yun is a very lucky person. Now that he has reached the pinnacle of the grassroots officer class of the Fuhan Army, one step further is the promising battalion officer waiting for him.
"Team Deng, come and see this, this is still a Tartar official......"
The soldier's stunned voice made Deng Yun hurry away. I saw a middle-aged man lying on his back on the hay, thirty or forty years old, with blood on his face and white and chapped lips, and he was completely unconscious. He is indeed an official, although his official robe has been pulled off, but he is wearing official boots and silk pants on his lower body, which can make people conclude that he eats official meals. The white middle coat is a fine Nanjing cloth, with blood marks all over it, and the ten fingers have also been pinched by sticks, and the flesh and blood are blurred.
"Feed him some water, carry the man out, and take him to the medical camp."
As long as they are in prison, they can almost be regarded as natural allies of the Fu Han army. If you divide the camps, they are one country. It's just that Chen Ming knows very well how dirty the prisons of the Qing Dynasty are, and there are really a lot of goods in them that should be cut with a thousand knives. He didn't want that kind of person.
The Fu Han army broke through the state capital and opened the prison door, and the prisoners detained inside must be verified one by one.
If an official in the yamen runs away, it is impossible for all the officials to run away, not to mention that there is a case record to be kept, and there are people in the same cell as witnesses. After verifying them one by one, those who should be killed will be killed, those who should be punished will be punished, and the rest will be the people of the Han Army.
This official-Deng Yun easily asked the identity of that person from the other people in the prison: Xie Hu of Dehua Zhixian County!
But what exactly happened to this Xie Zhi County is not known to the prisoners in the prison. Even the prison bully in the prison only heard a word from the mouth of the cell leader, saying that he had offended the Inspector.
Deng Yun didn't think too much, but in line with the fact that the Manchu Qing Dynasty was going to die, the Han army would be saved. Let Xie Hu, who was on the verge of death, finally struggle back from the death line and get his life back. But for Xie Hu, what happened in life was too magical. A few months ago, he and Zheng Wenzhi approached Jiujiang with the remnants of Jiujiang plus the Gannan militia, although they were unable to stand by the counterattack of the Fu Han army, but after his and Zheng Wenzhi's efforts, they still received the Qing soldiers from around Jiujiang City. He stood on the absolute opposite side of the Fu Han army. But now? His life was taken back from the Lord of Yama by the Fu Han Army, and it was precisely his hundred loyal Qing Dynasty who sent him to meet the King of Hades.
Wu Hubing can represent the Manchu Qing Dynasty, right? After all, he is a senior member at the rank of probationary envoy. If he can't represent the Manchus, can only the people who were personally ordered to be killed by the Qianlong Emperor be considered Manchu killings?
Xie Hu, who woke up on the No. 2 hospital ship in the medical camp the next day, looked at the unfamiliar environment, first confused, and then after figuring out where he was, the whole person was silent and did not say a word.
From Nankang to Jiujiang Mansion, from the hospital ship to the wounded barracks on land, Xie Hu never said a word. But he didn't show signs of begging for death. Chen Yongsheng was very interested in Xie Hu, and he learned from the information he collected from Xingzi County that Xie Hu had been recalled from the Lushan area by Wu Hubing and put under house arrest a month earlier, when Zheng Wenzhi, Xie Hu's biggest supporter of Jiujiang Staff, had just been transferred to Nanchang. Wu Hubing temporarily put Xie Hu under house arrest under the pretext of leaking the military plane involved in the incident, because Wu Hubing had not yet obtained conclusive evidence for his external propaganda. He was not imprisoning Shehu under house arrest, but protecting Shehu.
This incident did not cause any sensation in the Qing army at that time, and Xie Hu was only a small magistrate after all. And his biggest supporter, Zheng Wenzhi, is only a general, or a general without most of the soldiers.
Just five days ago, when the fleet of the Fu Han Army was heading south from Poyang Lake outside Xingzi County and directly into Nanchang, Wu Hubing violently threw Xie Hu into prison and tortured him day and night, and then obtained a confession that Xie Hu 'really' leaked. Chen Yongsheng didn't know why Wu Hubing did this, Xie Hu's previous actions in Lushan, Wu Hubing was still very supportive, why did he suddenly turn his face?
But no matter what, Wu Hubing wanted to put Xie Hu to death. He bent into a trick and charged Xie Hu with leaking military aircraft, which was not only Xie Hu's life, but also the entire Xie family. It is impossible for Xie Hu to have no resentment in his heart, and it is impossible for him to continue to be 100% loyal to the Manchus, otherwise he would have been looking for death and life a long time ago......
Chen Yongsheng regarded Xie Hu as a 'strange commodity', and he felt that the momentum of the Fu Han Army was so great that it was time to 'recruit and rebel'. This Xie Hu can be used as a banner.
……
Just when the plum rain in the south of the Yangtze River continued and Xuzhou was a vast ocean, the summer harvest came in Nanyang and Ruzhou areas in southwest Henan.
The sun is already very hot, the air is full of wheat fragrance, and the large wheat fields are golden and yellow, like a big carpet, which seems flat and flat, making people feel extremely wide. When the hot wind blows the wheat field, the golden wheat dances with the wind, rising and falling like a tide, and the whole wheat field is like a sea of gold. For most of Henan, this year has been a good harvest. It's just that this year's life will be even more difficult than in previous years.
Grain prices in Henan have dropped sharply because of the arrival of the summer harvest, but grain prices are still twice as high as in previous years. Who let the Mixed Yuan Sect open the Yellow River embankment in Xuzhou, the Yellow River flooded half of Xuzhou, and this news made the price of grain unable to fall if it wanted to continue to fall.
The heavy rain in Xuzhou affected Xuzhou itself and the surrounding Henan, Shandong, and Anhui more than 10 prefectures and counties, and a heavy rain did not know how much the summer harvest in those places would be reduced, and the price of grain fell to the current level, and it was impossible to continue to fall.
Because the Qing army's strategy of annihilating the Mixed Yuan Sect Army was completely defeated, the Yellow River opened a hole and the heavy rain in those days flooded more than half of the entire Xuzhou Mansion [south], the grain harvest was lost, and hundreds of thousands of people had nothing, waiting to be fed and waiting for relief. Under such circumstances, the Qing army in Xuzhou could only continue to stay there, stabilize the place, and organize troops to continue to pursue the Mixed Yuan Sect Army. The Qing army on the battlefield in Henan was most directly affected. The teams that were drawn out couldn't come back on time. Faced with such a situation, Aligon was full of gold stars, and directly asked Qianlong to resign, but he was stunned by the heavy blow of the Mixed Yuan Sect. Before Beijing's punishment arrived, Ali Gon had no choice but to spread out the more than 10,000 Gansu green battalions under the Xi'an general Fulu with pepper noodles from Xuzhou to Yuncheng. Let this elite army dare to fight is scattered on various battlefields.
Since Fu Lu led 20,000 Gansu Green Battalions to Henan, Wu Dashan was going to 5,000, Ali Gon transferred 3,000, and the remaining 12,000 people have been nesting in Fu Lu's palms, so they planned to strike a thunderous blow at the right time, and the result was ......
All of Fu Lu's thoughts came to naught. (To be continued.) )
