Chapter 132: Jiannu is going crazy
ps: The second update is here, the five thousand words chapter, and today I updated nine thousand words, which is equivalent to an additional chapter. I still owe three chapters to add monthly tickets.
In the autumn of the first year of Tianqi, Wild Boar Skin ordered the massacre of Han people in Liaodong, and a large number of Han people in Liaodong died tragically under the butcher knife of wild boar Skin. However, the massacre of Han people by Wild Boar Skin did not calm the guerrilla warfare, but instead showed an intensification.
During the process of wild boar skin slaughtering Han people, a large number of professional guerrillas in the Dongjiang Army launched almost all-out attacks and carried out in-depth guerrilla dealings with wild boar skin in Liaodong.
During the battle, the guerrillas achieved great results, rescued nearly 150,000 Han people from the Liaodong area, and caused further damage to the production of Jiannu. However, Jiannu also responded quickly, causing considerable losses to the guerrillas of the Dongjiang Army. In the past few months, more than 1,000 guerrilla soldiers were killed. However, more than 2,000 Jiannu were killed. During the battle, many military targets were not captured, and the focus was on rescuing the people of Liaodong.
This rescue operation was generally of great success.
After a large number of Han people were rescued, they resolutely joined the guerrillas and soon sneaked into the enemy's backbone in groups and began to launch continuous harassment of Jiannu.
The Jiannu was almost crazy by this kind of guerrilla warfare. After the massacre, there was no effect at all. The Han people who had only undergone short-term training, held muskets and various sinister weapons, and shot them from time to time.
So much so that the Jiannu had completely entered a state of full force, and they had no idea where these guerrillas would lurk in waiting for them.
This made Jiannu dare not go to the wild alone. It was easy to be shot when he went to the wild alone. He had to be careful when drinking water, and these guerrillas often poisoned the wells where they were taking water. At first, Jiannu was not prepared and was poisoned a lot. Sometimes he even killed more than a dozen people at one time.
Even if a large army goes to the wild, they may step on landmines on the road. These mines may not necessarily kill people, but it is more than enough to blow them into crippled.
There are also various other traps, which are simply unpredictable.
Faced with these guerrillas hiding in the dark, Jiannu was almost helpless. He sent a large force to encircle and suppress it? Isn’t this a cannon to kill mosquitoes? Moreover, during the march, he was very susceptible to trap attacks.
However, the troops were greatly dispersed when they sent a team to patrol. These Han people who became guerrillas were basically the kind who were not afraid of death. Once they were stuck with Jiannu's squad, most of them knew that there was no way to survive and had to replace one before they died.
The reason why this kind of guerrilla warfare made Jiannu go crazy was mainly because of the flintlock rifles in the hands of these Han people.
If it were in the past, these Han people launched guerrilla wars against them, it would not be so difficult to deal with. Because not everyone can use bows and arrows. If you have to use bows and arrows well, you have to go through long-term training and meet the strength standards. Not many Han people who have been engaged in agricultural production for a long time can use bows and arrows.
If these Han people fight with them with swords, it is basically no different from being sent to death. The more they are left, they set up some traps and poison and arson, which is also very annoying. At least they won't drive them crazy.
However, if these Han people have flintlock rifles in their hands, the result will be completely different. Although the loading of flintlock rifles is cumbersome, they can be loaded in advance. No matter how slow the loading is, it will be fine to spend ten minutes to load within non-combat time. And these Han people who have become guerrillas can master the use of flintlock rifles in the first half of a month after training on the islands controlled by the Dongjiang Town Official Army.
This made these Han people who were not engaged in military activities only need to pull the trigger to shoot at Jiannu. Especially within a distance of 50 meters, the power of the flintlock rifle was simply unsolvable. As long as the shooting was either missed, they would either die or be injured. Some guerrilla Han people even dared to shoot at Jiannu's large troops. Usually, they used the terrain to ambush in advance, and then ran away after the shooting.
Although the wild boar skin slaughtered many Han people, it still could not stop the guerrillas from harassing them.
Originally, this kind of guerrilla activity could be well curbed as long as the people were mobilized. If it were in China, other countries would not be able to carry out this guerrilla movement in China, because China has a large population, what's the use of killing a few civilians? But Jiannu obviously does not have this ability because Jiannu's population is too small.
Even the non-combatants in Jiannu died one by one, and they had only a small population and had to control such a huge territory.
The armed costs of these Han civil guerrillas are too low.
The cost of a flintlock rifle is only about 1 yuan. The main reason is that it has cheap steel and the production of flintlock rifles is divided and parallel, which reduces the requirements for craftsmen's craftsmanship, so you only need to pay wages instead of paying too high processing added value to craftsmen.
It takes half a month to train to engage in guerrilla warfare, and the armed cost is less than 5 silver dollars.
Jiannu's non-combatants exchanged one by one with these Han civil guerrillas, and Jiannu was also at a disadvantage. It was not a question of value, but a question of who was consumed first in the end.
In terms of cost, if these Han people put into production, the value they could create is much higher than that of Jiannu, but the population base is there, Jiannu will definitely not be able to consume in the end.
If it were a Jiannu soldier, even if it was 1 exchanged for the lives of the Han people, it would be a great loss. Now the Ming Dynasty has the most limited population.
For Jiannu, it is not only a matter of killing people, but the most important thing is that production activities are destroyed a lot, and these harassing activities have caused serious psychological shadows on them.
Who still farms nowadays?
There was basically no one farming, they had become a gang of robbers and a group that made a living by robbery and enslaving the Han people.
However, there are people among Jiannu who graze. After all, in such a large place in Liaodong, although grazing is not very utilizing the land, its personal output value is significantly higher than that of farming.
Therefore, the current production model of Jiannu is to farm in the city, enslave the Han people to farm. The women and some men of Jiannu are engaged in grazing or hunting activities.
These Han civilian guerrillas have great destructive power to the production of wild boar skins, and wild boar skins have become the main target of harassment in farms and pastures outside the city.
The farm must guard the Han people going out to farm! So how many people are suitable to go out? There are too many people, but there are too few people and they are afraid of being attacked. The Han people often suddenly fire guns and attack them while Jiannu is supervising the worker. Then he turns his head and runs away. At this time, Jiannu is embarrassed. If he goes after him, the Han people working in the field will usually scatter and escape all over the mountains.
If you don’t chase it, wouldn’t it be beaten in vain?
Usually, these Jiannu didn’t dare to chase after him, so who knew where one or two were ambushing one or two?
If the terrain is wide, you don’t have to worry about being attacked. However, the farm itself is also the target of harassment, and there must be someone outside the farm to stand guard! These people who stand guard may become targets of attack at night. If they don’t stand guard, they will easily be infiltrated at night, and will be set on fire and poisoned.
OK! There is really no loophole. I will burn the crops in the field tonight, right?
Jiannu was completely stunned. As the autumn harvest was about to arrive, the corn and soybean crops on the ground were burned by fire before they were collected. Under the influence of the wind direction, once these crops caught fire, they basically burned a large area.
It was dark at night, and Jiannu didn't dare to go out to put out the fire. However, if the Han people in the farm went to put out the fire, as long as the guerrillas attacked in the dark, these Han people wouldn't run away in the chaos? At that time, it is very likely that people would die and the Han people in the farm would run away again.
Under the harassment of guerrillas, Jiannu's farms suffered heavy losses, and a large number of crops in the farms were burned. Some were burned, and almost most of them were burned. Basically, a few people were killed in the farms targeted by these guerrillas and rescued some Han people. Some Han people even ran away.
Jiannu's grazing activities were even more severely plagued, and it seemed much easier to raid these grazing Jiannu. Because she had to walk around, it was impossible for Han people to graze, and it was easy to escape. When Jiannu grazed himself, if there were too many people, it would not be sheep, but sheep. Therefore, grazing was destined to be impossible, and it was very easy to attack. As long as you burrow and wait for you to approach, you would directly shoot it.
As a result, after an autumn guerrilla war, the grazing activities of Jiannu were greatly reduced.
Jiannu finally had to dispatch elite squads to deal with these guerrillas, and then continued to search for traces of guerrillas in the wild. This move was effective at the beginning. Those guerrillas that only received short-term training were not opponents of Jiannu's elite squads in the wild encounters. As long as Jiannu's elite squad blocked the road, it would be difficult for these Han civil guerrillas to deal with. After all, Jiannu slaughtered so many Han civilians, resulting in the guerrillas' supply acquisition either from the enemy or returning to Dongjiang Town.
When Jiannu did not send a large number of elite squads at the beginning, the roads outside the wild could basically be swaggered. After Jiannu's elite squads were dispatched in large numbers, the guerrillas could only return to Dongjiang Town by hiding out at night and walking on small roads.
Dongjiang Town also took measures to respond, that is, to send elite guerrilla teams to find traces of Jiannu’s elite squad in the wild, to eliminate the opponent in the encounter, and to meet the Hanmin guerrilla team and the rescued Hanmin.
Jiannu's elite squad was basically a group of ten people, looking for Han civil guerrillas everywhere. In order to deal with these elite squads of Jiannu, the regular guerrillas of the Dongjiang Army began to use twenty to thirty people as a team.
Soon the two sides began to engage in frequent encounters in the wild areas of Liaodong. In these encounters, the Dongjiang Army relied on its excellent equipment and the brave fighting will not be afraid of sacrifice, and fought with Jiannu with blood and blood, and fought desperately. Jiannu's elite team could still fight well with the Dongjiang Army guerrillas at the beginning, but not long after, they were beaten to the guerrillas of the Dongjiang Army. These people were simply desperate!
You should know that the Dongjiang Army guerrillas were all suffering from Jiannu. They were all Han people with extremely strong physical fitness. The Han people in Liaodong were originally very strong, which was created by the geographical environment. In addition, these Han people who joined the guerrilla army were selected and their physical fitness was even more outstanding.
These guerrilla troops were formed to deal with small-scale battles, so their training methods were different from those of the Beijing camp. As long as the Beijing camp was well trained, the gun roving, and the changes in the military formation, the requirements for martial arts were not high. However, the guerrilla troops mainly trained martial arts and cooperated with small-scale cooperation.
The secret magic weapon of Chinese infantry since ancient times is martial arts. Before the Tang Dynasty, due to the popularity of external alchemy, many powerful generals emerged. The medicinal materials in the Tang Dynasty were dug up and the family members were also hit. Therefore, there were fewer powerful generals and other things. However, ordinary soldiers were still very useful in practicing martial arts.
After practicing martial arts, these strong guerrilla soldiers have rapidly increased their strength. When they encountered Jiannu's elite squad, they were willing to work hard and their equipment was better than Jiannu, so they were not at all inferior.
The double attacks often encounter in wild, roads, and mountains. Such small-scale battles are even more tragic. Even if the guerrilla army is defeated, it is usually the last one to fight to the death and will have to pull a cushion. Under such a style of play, the elite teams of Jiannu were soon beaten to defeat on the spot when they encountered the guerrilla army in Dongjiang Town.
After a few months, the guerrilla army relied on this kind of fighting style to kill nearly 2,000 Jiannu, and at the same time to rescue 150,000 Han people.
At this time, the wild areas of the Liaodong Peninsula had become the world of guerrillas, and they could basically walk on the official road with swagger.
After all, the wilderness is too big. Jiannu's large troops gathered together to deal with the guerrillas. How many more can they deal with? The guerrillas will naturally run away when they see that they are not fighting correctly.
A small-scale dispatch was sent out, but the guerrillas in Dongjiang Town were killed and injured. The production in the wild was continued to harass. Moreover, the guerrillas in Dongjiang Town basically removed all the farms and ranches of Jiannu on the Liaodong Peninsula. The Han civil guerrillas have already covered Shenyang and other areas into the active areas, but there are relatively far away, and there are not too many guerrillas temporarily lurking in.
The wilderness of the Liaodong Peninsula is already deserted at this time.
The Han people in the wild were either killed or rescued. Compared with the Han people near Shenyang, most of the Han people on the Liaodong Peninsula were rescued.
The barren land was covered with white bones everywhere, and wild dogs were running around in the wild. The Jiannu and the Ming Dynasty were unable to start production on the Liaodong Peninsula now. Because one of the parties engaged in production here would become the target of the other party's attack and robbery.
Under such circumstances, the cities on the Liaodong Peninsula were very embarrassing for Jiannu. Outside the city gradually became a world of guerrillas, and production could not be carried out in the suburbs, and the supplies of personnel in the city had to be transported from other places. Is it meaningful to occupy these cities?
Under the order of the wild boar skin, he came to the Liaodong Peninsula to guard against the blue flag of the Dongjiang Army. Under the leadership of Amin, he drove into Zhenjiang area. He had no choice but to remove the Jiannu wild farm and ranch in the Dongjiang Town Guerrilla Army. After being killed and injured more than 2,000 people, Amin suddenly felt that his current situation was extremely embarrassing.
The cities and cities on the Liaodong Peninsula were basically useless to Jiannu at this time. No one was born here, and the Han people were either dead or rescued. The figures that could be found were basically the Ming army guerrillas and the Ming army guerrillas.
Amin hoped to capture the main force of the Dongjiang Army to fight a decisive battle to eliminate the threat from the Dongjiang Army. However, the Dongjiang Army seemed extremely slippery, and Amin could not catch the main force of the Dongjiang Army. Facing the vast ocean, Jiannu could only sigh.
There is no advantage in small-scale battles, and field production is basically wiped out. Seeing that these cities cannot provide output and lack targets for plunder. And they are still fighting with the Ming army for such a territory, Amin couldn't help but hesitate to give up the area of the Liaodong Peninsula?
For this reason, Amin asked for instructions on the wild boar skin, but was scolded by the wild boar skin.
Wild boar skin is still a bit military-minded. He has clearly discovered that once the Ming army set foot on the Liaodong Peninsula and could threaten them from this direction, it will have a great restraining effect on them. After this restraint is formed, they will not be able to dispatch all large troops to rob.
The Ming army had already regained its momentum on the front line of Guangning. If the troops were too small, they would not be able to grab anything in the past. So when Wild Boar Skin saw that Amin could not curb the development of the Dongjiang Army, he was naturally furious. Amin also wanted to throw the Liaodong Peninsula to the Ming army, but naturally he hit the gun and was scolded.
"Even if it's useless, you have to keep it." Wild Boar Skin finally gave an order to Amin, but Wild Boar Skin didn't expect that this order quickly made the blue flag led by Amin pay a heavy price.
After nearly half a year of training and the adaptation of the Beijing camp, Mao Wenlong had already owned 30,000 regular troops, of which 20,000 were frontal combat troops.
The blue flag led by Amin only has about 10,000 troops.
The Dongjiang Army did not lack training, especially an infantry division transferred from the Beijing Camp, which was well-equipped and had a morale. In Mao Wenlong's view, it was time to take the initiative.
After some deduction, the General Staff of Dongjiang Town found that the situation at this time was obviously an opportunity to take advantage of. He suggested to Mao Wenlong: "Now Jiannu's impression of our Ming official army is still in the previous vulnerable state. The slave chief Amin was even more anxious to destroy the main force of our Dongjiang army. Since this is the case, we will mobilize Jiannu's blue flag first, attract the main force of Jiannu to our predetermined decisive battle area by surrounding the points and attacking aid, and then annihilate it in one fell swoop."
The Dongjiang Army was a new army, and all the names were replaced by Zhu Youxiao. The military praised the paintings, and at this time the title became a staff officer, and the staff officer was established. The staff officer of the Dongjiang Army was obviously much more professional than the traditional Ming army, and the staff was also much more configured.
Mao Wenlong carefully analyzed the situation and found that the situation was indeed extremely favorable. Since the establishment of the Dongjiang Army, it has been fighting guerrilla warfare, and the main force has not been dispatched yet. It is time to take the initiative to attack.
