Chapter 435: The Crisis between the North and the South (Fourth Watch)
However, Su Chengcheng did not stop the ethereal people from questioning Chang Wei, so he was countered to the army, Chang Wei believed that this woman's true purpose and position would be slowly revealed. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
After the wedding, He Chong took the beggars back to Nanjing, the Changkong Gang also crossed the river and returned to Yangzhou, and the Tang Men also went to Nanjing a day later to prepare for the martial arts conference, and Chang Wei nervously arranged the future.
When the horses were not complete, the volunteer battalion carried out riding training, and now all we have to do is to continue to strengthen and practice, all of this is Huang Chongwu and many instructors, there is no need for him to worry about it, 5,000 war horses are also more than 2,000 prisoners to take care of, everything is going well.
The Seven Seas Camp on Liuheng Island is a little troublesome, and many people can't stand the strict training of the Volunteer Battalion, and they want to quit.
Chang Wei asked Sochen to pick those who were unwilling to fight, and gave them a choice, and in the end, more than half of them chose to quit the Seven Seas Battalion. 7,000 people are willing to work as workers and make money honestly to make a living; 3,000 people who have no worries are willing to sail to the sea as sailors; another 3,000 people want to enter the Seven Seas League, and among these people, there are still 20 or 30 leaders who have internal strength between the first and second floors, and they can be regarded as the backbone of other sects; and 4,000 people have turned into horsemen and left the dangerous front-line battlefield, and the remaining 2,000 people miss their hometown and directly receive the passage money and return to Shandong.
In the end, there were only more than 6,000 soldiers left in the Nanami Battalion, and these people were the elite of the army, and they were the best in terms of bravery and discipline. Wu Ding, who is very good at using soldiers, has learned all the tactics of the Volunteer Battalion, and the foundation of these 6,000 people is much stronger than the 5,000 people in the Volunteer Battalion, and he will definitely not lose to the Volunteer Battalion in time.
Since the gun mill and factory received the more than 7,000 young prisoners, the efficiency has been greatly improved, and now the production rate has increased to 300 muskets per day, and it is estimated that the Seven Seas Battalion will be fully equipped with muskets by the end of the Chinese New Year, and by the time the ocean-going fleet sails to the Americas in June next year, the entire fleet will be able to realize the use of firearms.
Considering the possible retaliation of the White Lotus Sect, Chang Wei asked Xue Qian to move his mother Huang to move all the family members in Suzhou to Zhenjiang, and Jin Yuwei and the musket battalion were on duty for twelve hours to protect their safety.
Xue Qian is well-behaved and docile and can serve people, Chang Wei's laboratory, gun workshop, Spiegel Island and other industries, she knows everything, and all the accounts have to go through her hands. All day long, she whispered these novelties to the Huang family, coaxing the old lady to be happy every day, praising her good daughter-in-law, almost to the point of not being able to leave her;
After finishing everything, it was three days later, and he was about to go up to Nanjing along the river, when the two heroes of Fengyun arrived at the same time, and Chang Wei was overjoyed. He had been worried about these two people for a long time, so he directly took them to the volunteer camp and the gun workshop to visit them, and promised on the spot that they would each give them 300 muskets and 10,000 rounds of ammunition after the martial arts conference.
Of course, these muskets were numbered, and they had to write down documents that were only allowed for their own use and were not allowed to change hands, and these had to be reported to the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army in Nanjing and the Nanjing Military Department for archiving.
When Chang Wei asked why Yuan Chonghuan put the responsibility for the poor defense of Liaodong on Sun Yuanhua, Qiu Feng sneered, "After the death of the old slave chief Nurhachi, the little slave chief Huang Taiji moved the pseudo-capital to Shenyang, and under the hard work, the Jiannu became stronger. The Ming Dynasty only had the three cities of Jinzhou, Ningyuan, and Songshan left in Liaodong; Huang Taiji entered Mongolia again, and Lin Dan Khan was defeated in even battles, and he was not far from defeat; Jiannu Iron Cavalry went down to Korea again, and Mao Wenlong was powerless to come to the rescue, and sat back and watched the subject country being eaten away by the captives step by step, and in the long run, Liaodong will be isolated and helpless!"
"Yuan Chonghuan once boasted of Haikou, which was flat for five years, and now the situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse in three years, Yuan Chonghuan blindly blames Mao Wenlong for his poor support, but he doesn't want to make an enterprising strategy, it can really be said that the general is incompetent, morale is low, and the situation is becoming more and more erosive!"
Chang Wei asked solemnly: "Huang Taiji has such a great ability, is it assisted by traitors?"
Qiu Feng shook his head and said, "No, even if it is an enemy of life and death, I want to say that Huang Taiji is a wise lord......"
Huang Taiji is the eighth son of Nurhachi, who has been smart and clever since he was a child, and he is the only one who can read and write among the generals under Nurhachi's tent. When his father and brother were fighting all year round, the seven-year-old Huang Taiji began to take care of the housekeeping and kept his money and money in order.
Nurhachi's eldest son Chu Ying was denounced by Huang Taiji for failing to become the heir and plotting to rebel, so Huang Taiji won Nurhachi's trust and was enshrined as Baylor in charge of the white flag.
After Nurhachi established the Jin, Huang Taiji proposed to fight Fushun Liwei first, and took advantage of the opportunity of the Ming Shou general to open the horse market, and sent spies to seize the first city from the Ming Dynasty under the cooperation of the inside and the outside.
So the Wanli Emperor launched the Salhu War, in this decisive battle Huang Taiji made great contributions, and then repeatedly made military exploits, after the death of Nurhachi, the Ming Dynasty and the opposition cheered, thinking that from then on could be leveled in one fell swoop, it was in this context that Yuan Chonghuan said the sentence that laughed through the ages: "Five years of Pingliao!"
At this time, Huang Taiji quietly seized the position of Houjin Khan, and Huang Taiji, who had just taken charge, wrote a letter to Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Ningyuan, pretending to negotiate peace and dragging Yuan down, while leading his younger brother Dolgon and Duoduo to investigate the Har Department and achieve a great victory!
Emperor Taiji, who brought Dasheng Yuwei, changed the policy of his father Nurhachi to massacre literati, and carried out the imperial examination that year, measured the land, distributed the seized land to the Han people for cultivation, and then cut down the dissent, imitated the Ming system, set up three courts and six departments, and established a complete set of state institutions.
Under the benevolent administration of Huang Taiji, the border generals and border people surrendered to Houjin one after another, and gradually established the Eight Banners Han Army.
In the end, Qiu Feng said with a solemn expression: "At the suggestion of Han Chen, the Hongyi cannon imitated by Houjin was created in Shenyang, and imitated my Shenji Battalion to set up a firearms unit 'heavy military camp' Now the Hongyi cannon is no longer my Ming's dependence." ”
"Terrible opponent!"
Originally, the Jurchens in Chang Wei's heart were all barbarians wearing wild boar skins, how could they have thought that the other party had actually formed a complete state administrative structure and imitated advanced artillery.
Luo Yun said confidently: "It doesn't matter, Master Chang's new musket and artillery combat methods are stronger than all the current armies, as long as they are used well, they will definitely be able to defeat Huang Taiji and drive Jiannu into the Xing'an Mountains." ”
"What do you know?" Qiu Feng rebuked disdainfully: "Now that the enemy is working hard to govern the whole country, what about me?"
This attitude made Luo Yun's face appear angry, you must know that although Luo Yun is calm, he is also a pirate who kills people on the sea, and he is not an honest person.
Chang Wei saw that the two of them wanted to say goodbye, and hurriedly persuaded: "After the martial arts conference, I will also go to Jingshi, the two of you may not know, my teacher Yuan Keli has already become a scholar, and I may have the opportunity to speak up at that time." ”
Qiu Feng's eyes flashed with a bright light: "Lord Yuan, who was the governor of Denglai?"
"Brother Qiu recognizes my teacher?"
Qiu Feng said: "I have received strong support from Lord Yuan, if Lord Yuan can preside over the war in Liaodong, maybe he can turn the situation back!"
Chang Wei comforted him a few words, and then asked Luo Yun how the situation in Taiwan was? Luo Yun frowned and said: "The Dutch Yi people are plotting against Taiwan, and there will be a war next summer at the latest!"
"Are the Dutch coming?
However, Chang Wei is not afraid of naval battles, after all, he has experience in naval battles, and his guns are also sharp, so he immediately asked Luo Yun if he had encountered his own fleet.
"In October, my lord's fleet got in touch with me from Yuegang to Taiwan, and I was going to lead the fleet south to Luzon, but thinking that the time agreed with my lord was coming soon, I sent my men to follow them, and if everything went well, it has now arrived in Luzon!"
"That's good!"
Chang Wei directly told the two of them that he intended to use overseas trade and strong ships and cannons to drive the Yi people south to conquer the Nanyang Islands, and to go north to the Whale Sea (Sea of Japan) and attack Jiannu from the Yalu River and other major rivers in Liaodong.
Qiu Feng, who had always had a cold face, changed color, "Attacking Jiannu from the sea?"
Luo Yunxi said: "My lord is really unthinkable, admire!"
Chang Wei smiled and went around to his original purpose, "However, what this plan needs is absolute secrecy, and you also know that if the fleet goes deep behind enemy lines, it is likely that the Jiannu sailors will cut off the back road and die in the sea." ”
"Therefore, I must not let the waste of the imperial court know, so I can only do it myself, so I formed the Seven Seas Alliance to accumulate money with overseas trade and use the Volunteer Battalion to train soldiers. Now that we are recruiting people with lofty ideals, I would like to solemnly invite you two to join the Seven Seas Alliance to build a great cause! )
