Chapter 19 Feelings (Part 2)
Only one Ranger was seriously injured. He fell off the horse and was injured by his own people. He needed to leave the battlefield to cultivate. Most of the others were unscathed, and there were a few minor injuries, which were just scratching their skin.
"It's really amazing!"
Shandong heroes all gave their thumbs to the Sichuan Army. Gao Yunxuan and Wu Yue'er were so dazzling that they felt that the battle was over in the blink of an eye, and the rest was to chase the death and chase the north.
"It seems easier than the Sichuan-Shaanxi Green Camp to fight us." Gao Yunxuan couldn't help but exclaim this. When Qixia listened to heroes from all walks of life talking about the evil gods coming from the northwest, it seemed that the rebel army could hold on for a while; and the equipment, training and military discipline of this green camp must be higher than the average level of the rebel army.
"Because we are well equipped." Song Weishen was proud, but he still said modestly: "How can our armor be compared to the Sichuan-Shaanxi Supervisor? We look down on their armor and return it."
Everyone was even more envious when they heard this, but the equipment of Song Weishen and others was indeed convincing. The three walls and Rangers were all guards that Deng Ming paid for from his own pocket. Deng Ming was young and rich, and it was related to his face and safety, so he paid the guard very high, because he was worried that other soldiers would have any objections. If the commandos purchased equipment other than the distribution on their own, Deng Ming also promised to reimburse half to 70% according to the type. The commandos were not poor, and it was related to their own lives and safety, so they were willing to spend money and would not save Deng Ming money.
Now the blacksmiths' shop in Chengdu is developing well, and the commandos have purchased a large amount of private equipment from it, which is definitely the number one in the army. Some armored shops have designed half-body armor according to Deng Ming's requirements to replace the best Shanwen hard armor now. The most mature ones can pass the test and put into production next year. If the standing army wants to be equipped, the hospital will need to allocate funds to the hospital. However, many commandos have privately discussed and paid a deposit when they return to Sichuan, and the remaining balance will be given by Deng Ming.
"We are equivalent to the servants of the Duke of the State." Song Wei was cautious in using words, but he felt that except for changing his surname, he was indeed very similar to servants in other aspects. The military pay was responsible for Deng's name rather than paid by the state. Although the commandos enjoyed the same treatment as other soldiers, servants would not be considered not to belong to the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.
The heroes of Shandong were even more respectful. The servants were the generals who were their own people. Even the military discipline was not controlled by the servants. What restricted them was the family law rather than the military discipline. Song Weishen asked the heroes of Shandong to divide up the captured Qing army weapons. These dozens of heroes had never had a full set of outfits, and they all tried it happily. However, the equipment of the three hundred Qing soldiers was definitely not something that these heroes could use. Soon the leader told Song Weishen that he knew that there were several mountain kings nearby who had not been included in the list of Qing army because of their weak strength. Each of these mountain kings also had more than twenty men under his command. It would be better to let them wear armor to fight against the Qing army together than to throw the equipment here.
After Song Weishen sought the opinions of Gao Yunxuan and Wu Yue'er, he asked the Allied Army to send envoys to greet them down the mountain, and at the same time sent knights to escort these envoys.
The captured Yang Qiu and others are now incorporated into the civil servant team, responsible for helping the Ming army transport supplies. There were many jobs that Shandong heroes did, but now Shandong heroes are wearing armor and viciously holding whips to urge the captured green camp not to be lazy.
...
Deng Ming met Gan Hui and others on the way to Shandong. With their introduction, they also met Zheng Zanxu and Zheng Xi. Later, they were a little disappointed when they saw that Deng Ming had no intention of completely solving Zheng Jing. But then they thought, as long as Taiwan accepts Deng Ming's proposal, they can share the income equally with Taiwan. Moreover, the relationship between the Zheng family in Zhoushan and the Sichuan Army and Zhejiang Army is better. As long as they operate with peace of mind, they will sooner or later surpass the Zheng family in Taiwan.
Relying on the strong support of these Fujian generals, Deng Ming successfully completed the landing with nearly 500 guards, but the consumption of these 500 cavalry was astonishing, which was almost equivalent to the consumption of 4,000 infantry. The Fujian Army tried its best to deliver the minimum supply needed by these cavalry to the shore with them, so that the sneak attack on the post station could be carried out smoothly.
After seizing a series of post stations, Deng Ming obtained the urgently needed forage and a small amount of horses, which made the supply pressure of the Fujian army slightly lighter. They did not have to busy transporting grain and grass to the ashore and transport it to Deng Ming's cavalry on foot, but could use more people to build a coastal warehouse. However, maintaining mobility on such a large territory also greatly increased Deng Ming's consumption. Within a while, Deng Ming was unable to build a field warehouse and make reserves, so in the near future, the Qing court's post stations would definitely be used as a base to move. Before the Fujian army paved a road to connect the landing site and the original official road system in Shandong, Deng Ming could not further expand the scale of his direct team.
Because of the continued porters, Deng Ming gave up his usual preferential policy of captive treatment, and all the captured green camp soldiers were used as free laborers. In the direction of Jinan, Deng Ming had sent several waves of Shandong heroes to provoke and shoot the manifesto into the post station. He hoped to influence the Qing army on the front line of Xuzhou through Jinan. However, in the direction of Laizhou and Dengzhou, Deng Ming did not mention his identity at all, so as not to scare his opponents. By destroying the local green camps sent by various counties to clear the post roads, and with the captives captured at the post station, Deng Ming already had a free labor team of 1,000 people.
...
"Prince Xiong is a bastard," Fu Shancha poured himself a full glass of wine, and cursed the Laizhou prefect as before. Their Ganzhou Green Camp made great contributions in Shandong, but now the Shandong people have crossed the river and destroyed bridges, urging them to leave Shandong and go to Jiangnan to chase the large army all day long. Zu Zepu is also the governor after all, and the Biao camp officers dare not be too arrogant. Xiong Sen, the prefect who was responsible for urging them, was the first to be the brunt: "The surname Xiong is not a good person! I knew it when I was in Sichuan!"
Sitting opposite Fu Shancha was another Sichuan-Shaanxi Governor of Biao. In the first Chongqing battle, a total of 280 people were captured in Biao Battalion. From then on, two of Li Guoying's Biao Battalion officers had met Deng Ming. Fu Shancha and Yao Changzun were both accompanied by Zhang Yong. Wang Jinbao and Zhao Tianba were captured when they were attacked by Deng Ming's flanks when they were fighting. Now among the large group of officers sitting in the room, there were no alien minority who had been captured by Deng Ming.
"The Governor-General went to Jiangnan to fight with Admiral Deng again." Yao Changzun frowned into the word "chuan" and held his wine glass in the air: "There are so many wars in the world, why does the Governor-General always go to find Admiral Deng to be unhappy? This is actually making it unhappy for himself?"
Other officers here knew that this was just a complaint, because Li Guoying was obviously ordered to go. When Li Guoying followed Prince Kang, he left two hundred guards to help Zu Zepu stabilize the place. He heard that there was no need to go to Jiangnan to fight Deng Ming, and these two hundred people were happy from the bottom of their hearts. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. On average, in the past two days, the prefect's office would send a supervision order issued by Jinan, asking them to return to the provincial capital quickly and return to Li Guoying's place to build.
"It's not that we Shaanxi people are kind and bullied us honest people all day long." Fu Shancha obviously drank too much, and even Governor Zu Zepu brought it with him: "When our fathers were old Qin troops, the grandsons in Liaodong knew to bully the old Qin troops. Every time they fought, they ran away and threw the old Qin troops down the tank - my uncle was angry when he talked about the past, saying that it was a pity that everyone was loyal to the emperor, otherwise they would have to throw the Liaodong people into their hands, so that they would always be powerful - Oh, by the way, King Pingxi was in Baoning, and wanted to throw our old Qin troops down the tank, thanks to the Governor's ability, he withstood Liu Wenxiu."
Although Zu Zepu was thrown away in the battle of Jinzhou, this could not change the history of their ancestors being the Liao army. Fu Shancha became more and more angry: "This time when Admiral Deng came, they pushed our old Qin army, the honest people in Ganzhou and Shaanxi Green Camp, and hid them behind them. This is their ancestral mastery! I hate it, hate it."
"But this time it took a long time. I haven't been there for four days to urge us to return to Jinan, right?" Hearing Fu Shancha's words, not only did the governor in, but even the King of Pingxi was in a hurry to appear. Yao Changzun hurriedly pulled the topic away. He pointed out that Jinan has not been writing to urge him recently.
"Has the Shandong Governor changed his mind?" Several Shaanxi people started to talk with longing, and after a moment, someone suddenly said: "Recently, there are rumors in Laizhou and Dengzhou Prefecture that the court intends to let the Governor Zu go to Jiangnan to perform his duties..."
"That's great!" Fu Shan slapped his thigh: "Sichuan should be considered Jiangnan. Half of the province is south of the Yangtze River. Governor Zu and Governor Li change positions. Sichuan is rich and the country of Tianfu. As long as it can conquer Chengdu's gold, silver and treasures, they are all theirs."
"Oh, it would be great if it could be like this." Yao Changzun was touched by this and sighed: "We have fought with Admiral Deng for so long. Admiral Deng left, Kuidong's gang came again, Kuidong people left, Admiral Deng came again... When will this day be the end?"
Thinking of the hard days in Chongqing, other colleagues in the green camp couldn't help but sigh.
"We have been working for the country for so long, and we should move the town to a place where we can't meet Admiral Deng to suppress the bandits. We will spend the rest of our lives in peace. For example, Shandong is very good. Look at the police in Jiangnan, but it is actually Shandong soldiers who stayed behind and asked us Shaanxi people to go."
"They are bullying honest people." Fu Shancha muttered again.
"I feel like I'm tired of killing," Yao Changzun looked sentimental and shouted war-weary: "I don't want to fight anymore, I don't want to kill anyone anymore. I just want to find a quiet place to live the rest of my life peacefully!"
Many green camps showed their feelings of gratitude. Fu Shancha no longer complained but raised his glass: "Brother, drink, drink."
At this moment, the camp suddenly reported that the Laizhou magistrate Xiong Sen sent another document.
"He is urging his life. Who said that Governor Zu has changed his mind just now?" Fu Shancha cursed again. Without looking at him, he could guess that this was another order urging them to return to Jinan.
"I am tired of killing, but war is not tired of me." The pacifist Yao Changzun spoke a poetic sigh and took the document to open it.
"What a thief!" After just looking at it, Yao Changzun was furious and jumped three feet high: "There were thieves attacking the post station. The prefect asked us to go and wipe it out quickly."
The order given by Xiong Sen said that even the important Huibu Post lost contact. The station was located on the Jiaoshui River. After it fell into the opponent, it meant that the communication between Jiaodong Peninsula and Jinan was completely cut off.
Although I don’t understand why a group of heroes in the rivers and lakes could take over the key stations on the Dadukou and Jiaodong Passage on the Jiaoshui River, Yao Changzun immediately came to his sense of wealth. When they woke up, there was nothing to plunder around them. But Huibu Post is different. If you recover this station, you can make some money in the towns around the ferry. The only strange thing is that how could such a good beauty fall into the hands of Shaanxi people?
Of course, Xiong Sen would not say that the hundreds of cavalry and squads he sent to recover the post were missing collectively, and even one who reported the news did not come back. However, if he did not take the post back to report safety to Jinan, his relationship with Governor Zu would not work. In desperation, Xiong Sen remembered the 200 Sichuan-Shaanxi governors who were unwilling to leave in Laiyang Prefecture. With their impressive combat power, Xiong Gongfu believed that they could open the post road immediately, so it would not matter that they would harm the surrounding area of Huibu Post. Moreover, these Shaanxi people also have a good reputation of strict military discipline and have never had bad records to harm the local area.
"Why do you care about so much?" Fu Shancha also jumped up. Huibuyi was protected by the officers and soldiers during the whole chaos. He had never suffered any military disasters outside the war zone. It turned out that God was keeping them with the Sichuan-Shaanxi Supervisor's logo: "The prefect gave the order to trust and cultivate us, send troops immediately!"
"Brothers, I'm going to kill the thief!" Yao Changzun was the first to run back to the camp to summon his subordinates. He mobilized with a fierce look on his face: "The emperor will use this day before yesterday to raise troops! We will take back the ferry and the inn, and then take over the rich families around Huibu! This is not our hometown in Shaanxi, so brothers don't have to be polite."
On October 1st, 200 officers and soldiers from the Sichuan-Shaanxi Supervisors who received the order from Laizhou Prefecture left the camp in lightning, fearing that the Laizhou Prefecture's prefect changed its mind and regretted it. When everyone was moving towards Huibu Post, the officers and soldiers kept looking back on the way, worried that the prefect would send people to chase them back. It was not until halfway through the journey that everyone came down with peace of mind.
In Laizhou Prefecture, Xiong Sen was also troubled by this incident. When the bandit suppression was about to be completed, he actually asked the bandits who had missed the net to cut off the post road for several days, which would have had a very bad impact on his assessment. If there was another similar situation, his official position would probably be suspended. Xiong Sen was thinking in his mind that Yu Qi and others were no longer able to turn over, and they could make up for the severance. He transferred a general and two battalions of soldiers from the front line, and then provided enough auxiliary soldiers to form two thousand troops to sweep the thieves around the post road.
"A huge post station was captured by thieves, and the soldiers sent in front were lost or destroyed? They should have lost their way, right? Otherwise, there would be no news, and they would have to peel them off when they come back." Xiong Sen muttered, but he still signed a dispatch order to send it to Dengzhou Prefecture, asking them to return a Laizhou general and asked him to bring eight hundred Laizhou Prefecture cities back in armor.
