Chapter 1110: Which is stronger, Qing Army or Guan Ning Army?
Yu Chengchan's menacing appearance made Jia Da and Song Qian unhappy on the spot, and they both felt that this person really didn't know each other, and he didn't look at what his identity was, and what kind of identity he was on the other side. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis is not a few decades ago, when a magistrate dared to raise eyebrows at the general soldiers, but when whoever had a knife was murderous!
For Jackie Chan, Jia Da and Song Qian are very disdainful, because they say that this person is a lifter, it is all to promote him, he is just a Ming and Qing dynasties and township examinations repeatedly failed to show talent, last year I really didn't dare to take the imperial examination, so I spent some money to become a prisoner in the country. happened to catch up with the Taiping army's defeat of the Qing army in Jiangbei, and the Qing Dynasty officials in Jiangbei were so frightened that they resigned and absconded, and there were countless vacancies. Otherwise, it would still be in the north. When he was a poor prisoner in the capital, he didn't know when he would be able to become an official. As for this "picked-up" official, I don't know which tendon of the Admiral is wrong, but he has a blue eye for him, and deliberately asks the Qing court to protect him as the prefect of Lujiang.
Song Qian and Jia Da couldn't figure out why the Admiral attached so much importance to this magistrate surnamed Yu, and the "King of Beishang Qin" also took people with him. On weekdays, he is also extremely polite to this person, and his mouth must be "Mr. Yu", what he wants, what he says, what he listens to, only that Yu Jackie Chan is used to having a problem, and his nostrils are long to his eyes, no, even the Admiral doesn't care about it. It feels like I'm shooting myself in the foot.
Jia Dawei snorted, and was about to step forward to reprimand Yu Jackie Chan, so that he could know a little bit of proportion. Hugh thought that the Admiral appreciated you, so he really thought that he was some kind of immortal material, and there were five people and six people.
Tang Sanshui sank his face, seeing this, Jia Da didn't dare to make a mistake, and retreated to the side with his breath. After raising his head, Tang Sanshui's expression was the same as before, he first snorted, and then said: "What Mr. said this, when did this governor stop moving?" ... Sir, you must know that since the governor led his troops north to Qinwang, our Jiangnan army and the Ming army have engaged several times, which battle is not brave and brave, and everyone is moving forward. When has the Governor ever feared and retreated? Not to mention looking at the world, in this Central Plains, the division of King Qin, I am afraid that there is only one of them! Based on this, Mr. can never say that the governor is afraid of the Ming army! ”
Yu Chenglong admitted this, so he didn't refute it, but asked: "The lord is not afraid of the Ming army, and the lower official dares to ask the lord, this place is only more than fifty miles away from the city of Defu, and the army is in a hurry, and it can be arrived in one day." Why did the adults stop here for three days and not want to leave? ”
"This... Alas, the gentleman does not know..."
Tang Sanshui showed a look of embarrassment, but in his heart he scolded Yu Cheng Chan thousands of times, if it weren't for His Royal Highness King Qi who was crazy and wanted to "promote" this person himself, he would have eaten enough to support a small magistrate so pretendiously. However, this surname Yu is also a ruthless corner, as soon as he took office, he deceived the anti-Qing righteous people in the territory to the county seat, saying that he wanted to raise the county anyway, but after those righteous people entered the city, he killed all the people, and then hung his head on the city gate one by one, frightening the anti-Qing righteous people outside the city to scatter. Based on this alone, Tang Sanshui felt that if he was sincere towards the Qing Dynasty, he would have to carry it to Jackie Chan, but now that he was in the Qing Dynasty, his heart was in the Ming Dynasty, so he was really twisted to bring a Han official who served the Qing court.
According to Tang Sanshui's method, he slaughtered all the officials loyal to the Qing Dynasty in the three prefectures and more than ten prefectures and counties under his control as early as possible, so that it was convenient for him and the King of Qi was also satisfied. But King Qi didn't say that he couldn't do this, he Tang Sanshui wanted to climb higher in the Qing Dynasty and become the pillar of the Qing Dynasty, so he couldn't lack loyal ministers of the Qing Dynasty around him and under his hands.
Safflower is beautiful only if it has green leaves, but if there are no green leaves, it will score large and small flowers. For example, Han people like Jackie Chan who are loyal to the Manchu Qing Dynasty are small flowers, and their existence can better set off the big flower of Tang Sanshui. Otherwise, the big red flower of Sanshui in the Tang Dynasty is dazzling, and after a long time, there will always be suspicions in the Qing court. With a bunch of small saffron flowers, the effect is different.
Zhou Shixiang asked Tang Sanshui to "promote" Jackie Chan for one purpose, so that Beijing would never doubt Tang Sanshui's loyalty and ability. In this way, no matter how awkward Tang Sanshui is, he has to cooperate with this play. Besides, this matter is also beneficial to himself, at least the more people around him like Jackie Chan, the more he can ensure his safety. Of course, Tang Sanshui is not stupid enough to really be important to "Yu Jackie Chan", he has a firm grasp of the military power in his hands, and Yu Jackie Chan can't touch it.
Seeing Tang Sanshui thinking about something with an embarrassed face, Yu Chenglong sighed suddenly, his demeanor eased a lot, and said: "If the Admiral is really embarrassed, the lower official is just a small county, and he doesn't dare to question the Admiral, nor dare he urge the Lord, but he asks the Lord to send three or two old men to me, and Jackie Chan takes them north to King Qin, so as to celebrate the whole minister's festival." ”
As soon as the words fell, Jia Da sneered: "Lord Yu, what's the use of three or two old pawns?" Could it be that the adult wants the old man to collect the body for you? ”
Song Qian also laughed: "The three or two old pawns can't protect the adults, and if only the adults and the three or two old pawns go together, it will be too child's play." ”
Yu Jackie Chan heard the sarcasm in their words, and said arrogantly: "Although Jackie Chan has no power to restrain the chicken, he is loyal to the liver and courageous enough to learn from the sun and the moon." is to die in the matter of King Qin, and it is also to fulfill the courtier's integrity, although there is no regret in death! After speaking, he knelt down and pleaded with Tang Sanshui: "Please also ask Lord Admiral to do it!" ”
Tang Sanshui hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him up, and kept saying: "What is this doing, sir, hurry up, hurry up, when did this governor say that he would not return to virtue?" As for how tragic the matter is, it is as if Ben Governor is the one who will not be saved. ”
Yu Chenglong refused to get up, and only asked, "Are you willing to go north?" ”
"I..."
Tang Sanshui also had no way, he was going to return to virtue left and right, so he just went, and waited until he got to the place to wait and see, thinking so, he blurted out a poem written by His Royal Highness King Qi in his mouth, "If the country lives and dies, how can it be avoided because of misfortune." Now the state affairs of the Qing Dynasty are difficult, Henan is in danger, the north is in danger, and the capital is in danger. The governor has made up his mind, so the whole army will advance to Guide to defend the Yellow River, the Central Plains, and the Qing Dynasty! ”
"It's a good sentence to benefit the life and death of the country, how can it be avoided because of misfortune and fortune!" 45-year-old Yu Chenglong listened to Tang Sanshui's bold words, he was really moved and emotional, he muttered to himself: "Defend the Yellow River, defend the Central Plains, defend the Qing Dynasty, good, good, good..."
After Yu Jackie Chan left, Jia Da was stupid: "My lord, do you really want to return to Germany?" ”
"Aren't you going to drink the northwest wind here?"
Tang Sanshui looked at Yu Chenglong who was far away, and replied angrily, "One step at a time, it's a step to go, and there is still food in the city of De." ”
.......
Jin Li is now nominally Tang Sanshui's deputy general, but he has no personal soldiers in his headquarters, and most of the more than 100 Han army flag generals who fled back from Jiangnan with him were transferred to other battalions by Tang Sanshui, and the rest were killed in battle. Today, there are only two cronies around this former Gushan Ezhen, one is his personal Gosh Hamuda, and the other is Ge Siwu, the leader of the Han army.
After following Tang Sanshui from the Lujiang River to King Qin, Jin Li's attitude was very negative along the way, and he was a little resistant to King Qin's affairs. He once advised Tang Sanshui, the imperial court did not issue an edict to King Qin, they should stay in Lujiang honestly, otherwise once they go north, Lujiang and Fengyang will be seized by the Anhui Taiping army. At that time, they didn't even have a place to stay, in case King Qin was unfavorable this time, it was impossible to say that these tens of thousands of horses would become a lone army, and if they didn't do well, they would be wiped out.
It's a pity that Tang Sanshui couldn't listen to Jin Li's persuasion, so he had to be Qinwang. Jin Li, who had no military power, had no choice but to follow north. Fortunately, the progress of this road was quite smooth, and the soldiers and horses of the loyal battalion were not beaten, and he Jin Li also cut off the head of a Kou leader with his own hands, so his attitude became a little positive. It's just that no one knows, but Jin Li has always been worried about one thing, which has made him nervous since he went north, afraid that it will happen at any time.
Hamuda and Ge Siwu didn't know what Jin Li was worried about, and after the two got the news, they hurried to report to Jin Li.
"My lord, Yu Chenglong went to the Admiral's Tent!"
Jin Li was stunned: "That Hefei Zhixian?" ”
Ge Siwu nodded fiercely: "It's him!"
"What is he doing in the Admiral's Tent?" Jin Li was a little strange.
Hamouda said: "It seems that I went to ask the Admiral why the garrison did not advance. ”
"I have the guts." Jin Li sneered: "But it's a fool." ”
"Your Excellency?"
Hamuda and Ge Siwu didn't know what their lord meant. Jin Li glanced at them, didn't say much to them, and waved them down. After the two of them retreated, Jin Li sat there as if his whole person had been evacuated, drooping his head, looking at the table fixedly, not knowing what he was thinking.
.........
The right army in Jiangnan originally had no cavalry, but later a Mongolian army withdrawn from Jiangnan was incorporated by Tang Sanshui, and there was cavalry. In the past year or so, Tang Sanshui has successively recruited some horse bandits, plus the Manchu and Mongolian stragglers who escaped from Yangzhou, and even formed a cavalry of nearly 2,000 people. After the formation of this cavalry, Tang Sanshui's strength was much stronger, and in several battles with the Anhui Taiping Army, this Manchurian and Mongolian cavalry contributed a lot and made a lot of contributions. Now the commander of this cavalry is a deputy general from the Mongolian army banner, named Namutu, I heard that his uncle Guo Muluo is the leader of the Mongolian army.
Because this Manchu and Mongolian cavalry was formed by stragglers who escaped from the battlefield, and Tang Sanshui raised them with a lot of money, so Namutu and other Manchu and Mongolian officers were very loyal to Tang Sanshui, except for Tang Sanshui, they ignored any generals of the Jiangnan Right Army. On weekdays, these Manchu and Mongolian cavalry are also very arrogant and arrogant, and they do not contact the right army in Jiangnan at all, even if they bump into them, they often use Manchu and Mongolian dialect to scold them. It's really unbelievable.
It's just that, except for Tang Sanshui and his cronies, outsiders don't know that the real commander of this Manchu and Mongolian cavalry is not the Mongol Namutu, but the Han Wu Chongshan, who was originally an envoy of the An Army in the third town of the Taiping Army. And this Manchu and Mongolian cavalry is not composed of Manchu and Mongolian stragglers who escaped from Jiangnan and Jiangbei, but is an all-Taiping army. Except for more than 600 "genuine" Manchu and Mongolian Tatars, the rest are Han Chinese.
Since Wu Chongshan was seriously injured in Jiangbei, he has left sequelae, and when it comes to rainy days, the wound will hurt badly. Today, it was raining lightly outside, so Wu Chongshan has been staying alone in the tent since the morning. He didn't want the soldiers outside to see the painful look on his face.
Gritting his teeth lightly and pinching the old wound on his chest, Wu Chongshan picked up a bowl of medicinal soup and was about to drink it, when a familiar voice sounded outside.
"Wu An's envoy!"
Although Wu Chongshan has been promoted to command, Namutu still likes to use his former name. Wu Chongshan was not surprised by this, but felt close. That day, if it weren't for the timely rescue of Namutu, perhaps, he Wu Chongshan would have become a corpse underground.
"Sit down and drink a bowl of water."
Wu Chongshan put down the medicine bowl and threw aside the fake braid on the table.
Namutu didn't drink water, but said anxiously: "Tang Sanshui sent a message from there, saying that the whole army would set off for Guide in an hour, asking us to continue to walk in front. ”
Wu Chongshan let out an "oh" and said softly: "Admiral Tang doesn't plan to wait and see any longer?" I thought he was going to shrink back. ”
Namutu smiled: "He can't go if he doesn't go, the big handsome can't spare him." ”
"Then let's get ready to go." Wu Chongshan got up as he spoke, took the fake braid that was thrown aside to the back of his head, and suddenly asked Namutu something.
"You say, which is stronger, Wu Sangui's Guan Ning army or the Qing army?"
"I can't say." Namutu is really hard to answer.
Wu Chongshan said with a smile: "You have fought with Guan Ningjun, how can you say for sure." ”
"It's been fought, but it's because the Wu army is defenseless, so it's not a head-to-head battle."
Wu Chongshan nodded and didn't ask again. Na Mutu was puzzled: "Wu An, why are you asking this?" ”
"Da Shuai said that sooner or later we will have to fight against Wu Sangui, so we need to know each other better, otherwise we will suffer if we really match."
"After destroying the Manchu Tartars, we will definitely have to fight Wu Sangui, a dog thief, but now that our enemies with Wu Sangui are all Mantars, we don't have to worry about confronting him Guan Ningjun immediately." Namutu said.
"That's just as well."
Wu Chongshan chuckled, his chest suddenly hurt, and his brows couldn't help frowning. When Na Mutu saw it, he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, the wound is happening again?" Do you want Lang Zhong to come over? ”
"I'm fine, I'm sick. What is the pain, compared to this, it is already God's grace to survive, worthy of me. Wu Chongshan signaled that he was fine, so that Namutu did not have to be nervous.
