Chapter 34 Everyone was shocked when he became famous in one battle

Chapter 033

Compared with the silver carried by the bandits, it was only an insignificant part of Qin Wu's treasure house.

Of course, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat.

Cheng Shijie said: "All seizures will be handed over to be used as casualty compensation and rewards for our soldiers of Qianhu Station. In addition, don't waste the horse meat of those who were killed or injured. Take all the horse meat back."

"Thank you, Master Qianhu!"

Cheng Shijie was going to give out thousands of taels of silver as a reward this time, but he didn't feel bad. This was Qin Wu's money. Taking other people's money as a favor, Cheng Shijie didn't have any psychological burden.

Although most of the weapons captured this time are in tatters, they can be remade when returned to Qianhu Station, at least giving Qianhu Station a chance to replace a shotgun with a cannon.

"What to do with the prisoners this time?"

"When we get back, hand it over to the guard station!"

Cheng Shijie thought that Commander Jin Yousheng also longed for military honors. As an old agency, Cheng Shijie knew very well that in any organization or unit, people with strong business capabilities would be the easiest to get along.

Just like in later generations, although he has no backstage, because of his strong business ability, no matter how many leaders are changed, his position will be indispensable unless someone can replace him.

Through the interrogation of Qin Wu, Cheng Shijie also learned about the previous battle between Qin Wu and the Dengzhou Guard. Although the Dengzhou Guard had eight thousand households, the only ones that could fight were probably Jin Yousheng's 500 servants. Others.

Thousands of households can more or less support some servants and soldiers, which is the true combat effectiveness of the Dengzhou Guard.

Literally, Dengzhou guards have strong horses and strong horses, but in fact, Dengzhou is just an empty show.

The morale of the military households who returned from the victory was definitely different. Especially the carts loaded with food and property. Thanks to the carts prepared by Qin Wu, although part of them was destroyed, most of them were still intact. Even if they were broken,

What Qianhu owns can be repaired by craftsmen.

With more than 5,000 shi of grain and more than 60,000 taels of silver, Cheng Shijie had more resources at his disposal and could do more things.

Cheng Shijie was riding in a carriage, flanked by his two generals Chang Yu and Shen Mingyu.

Cheng Shijie said calmly: "This victory is really a fluke. You two must not be complacent. There are serious problems with our equipment configuration. First of all, long-range attack weapons must be equipped. This time, more than forty firecrackers were seized.

It’s still more than 20 years old, and I’m not going to allocate it equally to you two hundred-household households. I hope you don’t have any grudges in your hearts.”

"Lord Qianhu, what are you talking about!"

Shen Mingyu said: "Without Master Qianhu, I, Shen Mingyu, would still be a beggar in Dengzhou City!"

"If it weren't for Mr. Qianhu, I would still be carrying my bag on the dock!"

"The organization of our health center is not reasonable!"

Thousand households are directly under the jurisdiction of ten hundred households, but as a company-level unit, the number of people is too many in the era of cold weapons. However, if a thousand households command ten hundred households, the number of people will be too many.

Cheng Shijie considered that his retainers could not stick to formalities. The best way was to organize them according to the style of the frontier army. Cheng Shijie had too few firearms. There were only six so-called artillery pieces, which were bowl-mouth guns. The original power of bowl-mouth guns was

Just make it small and use it dispersedly, which is equivalent to spreading pepper noodles on a flatbread.

In this case, Cheng Shijie decided to use the fire blunderbuss, the bird blunderbuss, the bowl-mouth blunderbuss and the three artillery pieces captured in Qin Wu's hands.

"How do you want to organize it, Senhu-sama?"

"Two modes!"

Cheng Shijie thought for a while and said: "The original establishment of the Thousand Household Office remains unchanged. It is still ten hundred households, each in charge of a hundred household office. The servant soldiers are based on the establishment of Qi Shaobao when he was in Ji Town, with every twelve people in a team.

One person is regarded as a small flag, and each team has ten soldiers and one cook."

According to the standard configuration of the Qi family army, the team is equipped with blunderbuss and Japanese knives, one cook, equipped with a double-pointed shoulder pole, two spearmen, equipped with bows and arrows, two sword and stick players, equipped with sword sticks, bows and arrows, and two sword players, equipped with bows and arrows.

There are rattan, waist sword, and javelin. Two musketeers are equipped with matchlock guns and Japanese swords. Two quick shooters are only equipped with single-eye quick guns. In close combat, quick guns are used instead of sticks.

Some teams also use boring and palladium hands instead of knife and stick hands, and rockets as long-range weapons. Three teams are one flag, with one flag commander, and one person in charge of thirty-pound tiger squatting cannons. Three flags are one division, with one hundred commanders.

, General Bai has several attendants, and one person is in charge of a hundred pounds of captive-killing artillery. Three divisions form a bureau, and there is a general.

Cheng Shijie does not have this kind of equipment now, so he can only simplify it. Each of his servants is equipped with four spearmen, two sword and shield wielders, and four fire gunners.

Shen Mingyu thought for a while and said: "Sir Qianhu, we still lack a lot of equipment. The spears are enough, but the shields and muskets are far from enough!"

"Then take your time. Fortunately, the bandits did not line up to fight in the field this time, otherwise, we would suffer a big loss!"

Cheng Shijie continued: "The plan of Qianhu is that every four teams will be one sentry, with a sentry captain, who will be regarded as the general flag... Every five sentry posts will be one division."

Zhang Yu said: "Master Qianhu, what you mean is that the servants and soldiers need to be streamlined?"

"No, we need to expand!"

Cheng Shijie solemnly said: "This thousand households can now support two divisions, that is, five hundred soldiers."

From the attack on Linglong Mountain, Cheng Shijie saw a way to make money. As an army, it was as poor as a beggar.

Governments from various places cooperated to suppress bandits.

When officials get political achievements, Cheng Shijie wants to benefit from it. If both parties cooperate to achieve win-win results, why not do it?

…

When Cheng Shijie returned to Dengzhou Weizuo Qianhu Station with prisoners and captured property, news that the fierce bandit Qin Wu led more than 4,000 bandits to attack Dengzhou Weizuo Qianhu Station also spread in Dengzhou City.

Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, was calculating how much grain and money to withhold from the autumn tax to support the military expenses of Denglai's new army, when he suddenly heard the news.

Sun Yuanhua's mood couldn't help but become very bad. He was not worried about the bandits attacking Dengzhou Weizuo Qianhu Station. Any trouble would be Jin Yousheng's fault. But the problem was that once the bandits attacked the state and attacked the mansion, this would be evidence of his ineffective governance.

As a governor who has not passed the official imperial examination, Sun Yuanhua himself is under tremendous pressure. Although his teacher Xu Guangqi is the Minister of Rites, Xu Guangqi is seeking to go further and enter the cabinet.

At this critical moment, he must not hold Xu Guangqi back.

"Someone is coming!"

"What are your orders, Lord Futai!"

"Order Jin Yousheng, the commander of Dengzhou Guard, to send troops to annihilate these bandits. If he can't even deal with these bandits, he will no longer be the commander!"

Sun Yuanhua's words were very serious, and they also carried a strong threat. Of course, this was not just a threat. The governor himself was the place where he took charge of the army and managed the army, not to mention the Dengzhou Guard Commander, even the commander of Shandong Province

The envoys were also under the management of Sun Yuanhua.

In normal times, these bandits, rebellions and other things would not actually enter Sun Yuanhua's eyes. Now is an extraordinary period, so of course we must do extraordinary things.

Sun Yuanhua was also very clear about the fact that the guard station was too rotten to be reused. He thought about it and said: "Order General Zhang Tao to be prepared and ready to suppress the bandits at any time!"

Sun Yuanhua was able to serve as a second-grade border official as a juren, in fact, because of his political opinions. Sun Yuanhua advocated using the Denglai New Army to cooperate with the Dongjiang Army to regain the four states in southern Liaoning and Lushun.

After the four southern Liaozhou states were lost in the first year of Tianqi, Yuan Keli, the governor of Denglai, instigated a rebellion against the deputy general of the Later Jin Dynasty.

.In this case, recovering Liaonan will indeed help alleviate the embarrassing and passive situation of the Ming Dynasty.

In the third year of Chongzhen's reign, Sun Yuanhua became the governor of Denglai after being recommended by his teacher Xu Guangqi and the then Minister of War Liang Yandong. His political ambition was to regain the four states in southern Liaoning. At this critical moment, he did not want to

There is trouble in Shandong.

Si Yamen, commander of the Dengzhou Guards, soon received a strict order from Master Futai. The order was harshly worded, and Jin Yousheng also hurriedly summoned his generals to discuss countermeasures.

Huang Zuxin sighed: "We can't avoid this!"

"But Qin Wu is fierce, and many of his subordinates are fierce bandits who came from the border army, so it is not easy to deal with him!"

"If it were easy to deal with, the grass on Qin Wu's grave would have grown three feet high!"

Jin Yousheng looked at the generals under his command and said: "There is no need to delay now. If Qin Wu is allowed to attack Zuo Qianhu's place and hijack Zuo Qianhu's military households, the battle will be even more difficult to fight. Now we need you to unite and work together!"

"

Zhang Weihan, the front household guard in Dengzhou, was a close confidant of Jin Yousheng. At this time, he immediately expressed his position: "Your Majesty, Commander, there will be one hundred elite servants at the end, and the thousand households in front of you can draw 500 young men!"

Although Zhang Weihan is in the fifth rank of Qianhu, he also has the rank of General Wu Jie, but Cheng Shijie is different. He is also in the fifth rank, and his first rank is just General Wu De. Of course, officers at the rank of Qianhu can call themselves the last general.

of.

Thousand households from the center, left, center and right expressed their opinions one after another. You three hundred, I five hundred. Soon the seven thousand households gathered more than 3,500 elites.

This is actually the basic situation of the Ming Dynasty garrison. In general, if a garrison fights, it is very impressive to be able to draw two to three thousand people. Most of them can only draw less than two thousand people. The Dengzhou Guard is to strengthen the garrison, so in the absence of Zuo Qian

In the case of household units, there are still more than 3,500 military households, plus the central guards, commanding colleagues, commanding officers and other servants, and a full 5,000 elite army was quickly gathered.

As the saying goes, before the soldiers and horses move, food and grass go first.

Just when Jin Yousheng was hurriedly preparing food, grass, weapons, and preparing to support Dengzhou Guard Zuo Qianhu Post, a scribe came from outside the door.

"Urgent military report from Zuo Qianhu Station!"

"No, it's only been a few days, and Zuo Qianhusuo can't hold on anymore?"

"Cheng Shijie is not a hereditary man. It's good that he can persist for so long. You still think of him as a famous general!"

"Master Commander, how about the general lead the cavalry to set off first?"

The buzzing voices suddenly stopped, and Jin Yousheng looked at the emergency report in his hand with a dull expression: "This is... how is this possible? Capture the bandit leader Qin Wu alive, and behead his leader, the second leader Liang Youcai, and below, 1,383 people."

, captured 2,150 people..."
