Send troops!
Lin Ahu, Ma Chenglong, and Li Youcai were all a little embarrassed when they heard that they were going to send troops.
The Qing soldiers are still very fierce!
Sending troops to fight will cost lives...and the three families don't have many strong men in total, so they can't afford to die!
The three of them were silent. Zhu Hesheng thought they had agreed and did not talk nonsense to them. Instead, he asked Dabo Ling beside him: "Auntie, how many strong men and muskets are there in Longjing, Longtian, and Narita?" requisition?"
This matter cannot be hidden from Da Bo Ling, because the Su family in Jinghai Fort, the Duma family in Longjing, the Li family in Longtian, and the Dulin family in Narita are intermarried with each other. How many young men are there in these three families? How can she not know?
"Young Master," Da Bo Ling said with a smile, "Longjing has 338 strong men and thirty or forty muskets; Longtian has 220 men and more than 20 muskets; Narita has one One hundred and sixty-six men, twenty-two muskets, and two cannon.”
Zhu Hesheng said: "The erding fires one, the muskets also fire half, and the artillery does not fire. In addition, you must prepare your own swords, guns, bows and arrows, but there is no need to prepare rations and gunpowder... Aunt!"
"Here!" Da Bo Ling knew that Zhu Hesheng was going to give her an order, so she quickly clasped her fists and obeyed the order.
"How many soldiers and muskets are there in Jinghai Fort?"
"Jinghai Fort has seventy-four strong men and twenty muskets." Da Boling answered truthfully, "Twelve of them are in the Guiyu capital army."
"I want all the rest!" Zhu Hesheng was not polite at all and ordered in a tone that left no room for doubt, "Auntie, you also have to follow the army and listen to me!"
Listen to it? How do you want to use me? Da Bo Ling glanced at Zhu Hesheng, who had a serious look on his face, and replied respectfully: "Yes!"
Of course she is setting an example for others to see how she respects and obeys. In fact, the Su family in Jinghai Fort has always been an integral part of the Tianwang Village. Half of the young men and musketeers of the Su family have already followed Zhu Jushan, Zhu Hesheng, and the remaining half are ready to obey orders.
Zhu Hesheng looked at Lin Ahu, Ma Chenglong, and Li Youcai again, his eyes becoming very sharp.
Lin Ahu, Ma Chenglong, and Li Youcai didn't dare to resist anymore, so they had no choice but to agree loudly.
"Got the order!"
"Got the order!"
"Young Master, General Ahu will lead the strong men of the clan to serve in front of your army!"
Zhu Hesheng nodded: "Okay! In three days, the young men from Longjing Capital, Longtian Capital, Chengtian Capital and Jinghai Fort will all gather in Gucheng Village!"
Longjing, Longtian, and Chengtian all need to send 362 troops this time, Jinghai Fort needs 63 troops (including Da Boling), and Zhu Hesheng's own Tianwang Village needs to send 100 soldiers this time. Nine people (including Zhu Hesheng)... In addition, there are 60 young soldiers (from Tianwang Village and Jinghai Fort) who can be dispatched together.
So Zhu Hesheng, the warlord of the five villages, will lead an "army" of 594 people to Jieyang County this time!
And the reason why he sent out "so many people" was not to gain more control on the battlefield, but to gain more territory after victory. This is all written in the clever plan of Zhuge's military advisor who was trapped in the capital of Guiyu... Sending more troops will make a greater contribution. If you contribute more, you can get more territory.
Moreover, Zhuge Military Advisor also planned which piece to eat after winning the battle.
Jieyang County, which is located in the heart of Chaozhou, cannot be taken. We have to take Huilai County, which is located at the western foot of Danan Mountain. Then we can rely on Danan Mountain to follow the route of "building the city high, accumulating grain widely, and slowly becoming the king". It's wretched Developed...
But now the "iron-hard evidence" proving that Zhu Jushan is the Third Prince Zhu is about to be delivered to Emperor Kangxi's South Study Room. Do you still want to keep a low profile?
...
Zhu Hesheng was right. It was impossible for him and his cheap father to keep a low profile now... How could they keep a low profile when they were the third prince and grandson of Zhu in the Qing Dynasty?
Moreover, their identity as the third prince Zhu and the third grandson of Zhu has been firmly established. Emperor Kangxi almost wrote them on the pillars of the south study room. Why should they keep a low profile?
In addition, Da Laohui's actions these days also made Mi Sihan, the Qing imperial envoy supervising the military affairs minister of Guangdong and Fujian, very nervous.
Da Laohui was not idle when Zhu Hesheng was busy "starting a business". They were gathering an army and preparing for a big fight to seize the territory in Jieyang, Puning, Chaoyang, Huilai and other places. At the same time, they also sent troops to surround Chaoyang County. And with a thousand elite troops, they advanced by water to the outskirts of the Guiyu capital.
Although Da Lao Hui only dispatched a mere two thousand men, he put great pressure on the Qing army in Chaozhou Prefecture.
Because both groups of Qiu Jiajun used the Sky Thunder Explosive Pot when they first fought against the Qing Army!
Although the number was not large, only a dozen were thrown away in total, it still frightened Deng Guangming, who was besieging Guiyu City... If the imperial envoy had not arrived in Guangdong soon, Deng Guangming would have probably retreated. .
As for the Qing army in Chaoyang City, it was even worse. The area around Chaoyang City was originally under the control of Da Laohui, and the Qing army only had a county seat and three fortresses very close to the county seat. Because Qiu Hui's troops had very weak attack capabilities, they had been unable to attack these four strongholds.
But this time, the Qiu family army used the clever trick of throwing cannons and thunder from the sky. In one day, they captured or forced the landing of three fortresses outside Chaoyang County, killed or captured two to three hundred soldiers and civilians of the Green Camp, and turned Chaoyang County into a It has become a truly isolated city, which is really in danger!
What made the new official Mi Sihan feel that the banditry was serious was the fact that "Qiu Hui ordered more troops. Like Zhu Hesheng, Qiu Hui also issued some military orders to the townships below, but the townships under Qiu Hui's jurisdiction were a bit More than a hundred! But he can't recruit as many disciples as Zhu Hesheng. His craft is raising ducks... This craft is not very valuable.
Therefore, he asked each township below to send fifty troops. The order to send out ten guns was a bit slow to implement, and there was a lot of movement, so the news would inevitably leak out - the situation in these townships and the three documents obtained by Zhu Hesheng The towns and cities are similar, and they are all controlled by a group of powerful clans. Many of these clans are two-pronged, and in the Qing Dynasty there are also semicolons and even general numbers!
Therefore, the newly appointed Mi Sihan moved his imperial envoy to supervise the Guangdong and Fujian military affairs offices to Mianhuzhai. He then learned the news about "Qiu Hui's massive troops". Of course, he also learned that Chaoyang County was in danger and Guiyu The encirclement of the capital was untenable.
More than a hundred townships each sent fifty troops, which was five thousand people! In addition, ten muskets will be produced each time, which means a thousand muskets. Including Qiu Hui's headquarters, wouldn't there be 8,000 troops and 2,000 muskets?
Mi Sihan, who knew military affairs, certainly knew that this battle would not be easy to win.
And he also figured out that Shang Zhixin, the prince of Pingnan, had made up his mind to support the bandits!
Because just the day before Mi Sihan arrived at Mianhu Village, Shang Zhixin sent all the flag soldiers and green battalion troops under the jurisdiction of Prince Pingnan stationed in Mianhu Village to the west of Mianhu Village on the pretext of encircling and suppressing the Dananshan bandit nest. Both Lin Tian and Mei Lin were there.
Fortunately, Jin Guangzu, the governor of Guangdong and Guangdong, and Liu Bingquan, the governor of Guangdong, knew that they were loyal to the emperor and patriotic. They sent their own supervisors and inspectors, a total of 3,000 green battalion soldiers, to Mi Sihan's tent to listen.
Otherwise, Mi Sihan, the imperial envoy and military governor, would be almost without an army to supervise.
The Governor of Guangdong and Guangdong and the Governor of Guangdong took the lead, and the people below naturally knew how to take sides.
A few days later, Yan Ziming, the Admiral of Guangdong, recognized the situation and personally took his 2,000 people from Huizhou Prefecture (the Admiral of Guangdong was stationed in Huizhou) to Mianhuzhai to listen.
Later, Liu Jinzhong, the commander-in-chief of Chaozhen, who had always been a self-respecting soldier, also took his Chinese military camp to Mianhu Village - it seems that he also understood the situation!
The Qing Dynasty will eventually dominate the world!
Coupled with the troops of Duke Xushun who were already on Mi Sihan's side, the imperial envoy finally had tens of thousands of available troops under his command, as well as four generals: Yan Ziming, Liu Jinzhong, Deng Guangming, and Zhang Mengji. ...Even if Shang Zhixin is determined to support the bandits, Mi Sihan still has tens of thousands of elites available!
It seems that everything is under control!
At this time, in the office of the Imperial Envoy in Mianhu Village, the Imperial Envoy was sitting behind a desk, smiling and looking at the group of civilian and military generals gathered under his command - there were quite a few of them!
Among the civil servants were Chao Hui, Jia Bingdao Wang Deping, and Wu Xiaobao, the Prime Minister of Jieyang County who had just been promoted to Chaozhou Prefecture and took care of Fengmingshan, Chaozhou Prefecture, and Jieyang County Magistrate.
There were even more military generals, including Deng Guangming and Zhang Mengji, the two deputy commanders of Xushun Palace, Yan Ziming, the governor of Guangdong, Liu Jinzhong, the general of Chao Town, and Zhang Haiyang, the Chinese Army Staff General of Yan Ziming and Liu Jinzhong. , Li Chenggong and others, as well as the bidding generals Jin Guangzu and Liu Bingquan, are all eager to try, and they all look like loyal ministers of the Qing Dynasty!
Mi Sihan's eyes swept around the Chinese Army Hall, then nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Everyone, thanks to the emperor's great blessing, it seems that the Chaozhou bandit leaders Qiu Hui and Zhu Heji are bastards who are eating the weights - they are iron. I want to catch Prince Zhu San in the capital of Guiyu!
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, we just have to besiege the city to lure the enemy, and when the bandits get deep, we will set up an ambush and catch them all!"
