Chapter Nineteen Wang Yi
On August 12, the fifth year of Yongli, Dinghai, Ningbo.
After the large-scale encirclement and suppression of Simingshan last year, the Qing army carried out another encirclement and suppression this year, and the number of soldiers dispatched was even greater than when facing the intact Simingshan Ming army last year.
Until half a month ago, the anti-Qing forces in the Simingshan area either surrendered or died after being defeated by the Qing army, and were unable to carry out the war of restraining and production. At this time, the main force of the Qing army in Zhejiang who had emerged from all over the country gathered and stood up, waiting for a command to send troops to siege Zhoushan.
At this moment, Dinghai was already a gray-blue ocean. This time, the Qing army in Zhejiang sought to achieve his merits in one battle, and all the mobile troops in Zhejiang were dispatched.
The Fujian-Zhejiang Governor's Bian Battalion, the Zhejiang Governor's Bian Battalion, the Dinghai General's Bian Battalion, and the Han Eight Banners personnel all have the Hangzhou garrison's Eight Banners, which looks fancy in terms of clothing. These troops will be transported by the navy as the main force for the self-dating sea departure. In addition, there are local green camps and regiments in Ningbo, as well as the Zhejiang Governor's Bian Battalion to assist in the defense of Ningbo to ensure the safety of the rear.
And this is just the Qing army on the front line in Ningbo.
In order to ensure that this battle could completely eliminate the Ming army in Zhoushan, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, Chen Jin, dispatched the general of Jinhua, Ma Jinbao, to lead the town Biaoying and the green camp in Taizhou, and the navy troops headed north from Taizhou; at the same time, they applied to the Qing court to the general of Wu Song's navy to go out and advance from north to south, in order to win.
By betraying the Ming army in Siming Mountain and capturing the benefactor Feng Jingdi, Wang Sheng had already received a garrison dispatch from the Ningbo Green Camp. Although it was far less powerful than the general in the past, it was still a genuine Qing army garrison. At least he had already stood on the side of the winner, even if he was just a lackey for the barbarians.
During this time, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, Chen Jin, had already sounded the drums of gathering generals. Wang Sheng and Xu Lei, who had just resumed their posts, were chatting and laughing along the way towards the military platform.
It is said that life is full of four major irons, they have carried guns together, went to the countryside together, worked together, and shared the stolen goods together.
With his previous shared experience of circulating Li Rong and his unswerving performance during the investigation in the officialdom in Zhejiang, the friendship between Wang Sheng and Xu Lei rose sharply and quickly became the best friend. After that, Xu Lei also began to experimentally train the mandarin duck formation in the reconstruction of the Luxing Zuoying. The relationship between the two of them was also becoming closer while constantly communicating their experience in training the mandarin duck formation.
This friendship is very important to Wang Sheng, because Xu Lei's uncle was Tian Xiong's confidant general. It is said that his father died in battle to cover Tian Xiong back then. Otherwise, how could he be so easily destroyed by the defeat of the Lunar High Camp and the death of the deputy general Li Rong, and even regained his post.
With this help, you can be more comfortable in the Qing army camp in the future. Wang Sheng also knew very well that the reason why Xu Lei was like this was not only because he repayed the previous help, but because Wang Sheng knew more about Chen Wen and Nantangying.
As they chatted, the topic of the two soon turned to the guy they didn't want to face again. Last night, when Tian Xiong was participating in Chen Jin's military discussion, a report on the capture of Tiantai County, Taizhou Prefecture came.
Yu Guowang, the Ming army in Tiantai Mountain, the Ming army in Dalan Mountain, the general of the Ming army in Dalan Mountain, Chen Wen, and the two Ming army captured Tiantai County in just one day. Then, other Ming army generals including Jin Tang and Dong Keshen went down the mountain. The entire Taizhou almost every day reported that the county town and the Qing army were stationed in the garrison were attacked, and even the capital city was not spared. The most densely packed were Xianju, Sanmen and Ninghai.
Just like when the Qing army surrounded Siming Mountain to attack Zhoushan, the Ming army in Tiantai Mountain went down the mountain to attack the Qing army in a large manner simply to share the pressure for the Ming army in Zhoushan.
Everyone knows Sima Zhao's heart. But no one wants to face Chen Wen and the Nantang Camp again. Maybe they didn't know what the ignorant fearless meant, but after they also tried to imitate the Mandarin Duck Formation in Nantang Camp, they found that this thing was not so easy to play.
Xu Lei was reinstated after he encircled and suppressed the remaining Ming army in Siming Mountain in June. Two months before that, he compiled the Mandarin Duck Formation under the name of making meritorious contributions.
With the support of Tian Xiong and his uncle Xu Xin, all the killers of the Yuanyang Formation under Xu Lei copied Nantang Camp, and the soldiers in it were all composed of pure veterans. In addition, the Central Military Firearms Team also used bird guns, and the Central Military Cavalry Team also had firearms such as three-eyed guns. Compared with Chen Wen's weapon configuration in the battle behind Simingshan Hall, the weapons were more gorgeous than Chen Wen's weapon configuration.
When he encircled and suppressed the remaining Ming army in Siming Mountain in June, the small army under Xu Lei, who had been trained for two months, was like a fish in water in the narrow terrain of the Siming Mountain area, and he eliminated many Ming troops. He was able to restore his post with this contribution. After the war, in the internal competition of the Extra Balance Battalion, he easily defeated the other troops of the Zuoying camp that were rebuilt at the same time, which was very popular.
But even so, until today, the overall momentum of this green camp soldier that copied Nantang Camp is still not comparable to that of the genuine Nantang Camp. At least in Xu Lei's opinion, the combat ability of this copycat is still far from that of Nantang Camp in the battle behind Simingshan Hall.
In contrast, Wang Sheng trained the Mandarin Duck Formation much longer than Xu Lei. After the New Year of the fifth year of Yongli, he began to train this army composed of the Mandarin Duck Formation. It is definitely impossible not to eat empty salary. Therefore, Wang Sheng creatively developed several corpses with only officers but no soldiers, specifically used to eat empty salary to appease officers and bribe Shangguan.
In the past six months, Wang Sheng was worried about this small army. He studied Qi Jiguang's military books and practiced the formation of the Yuanyang Formation. He even took advantage of Xu Lei's relationship to finally get some excellent weapons from the arsenal. Even if he was not as strongly supported by Tian Yutian's rich man, at least the Yuanyang Formation Killer Team and the Firearms Team using archers were trained, and he performed well in the battle to jointly encircle and suppress the remaining Ming troops in Siming Mountain.
However, even if the training time is far greater than that of Xu Lei's subordinates, they will actually be in a 50-5 position in combat ability. Not only can they not be able to distance themselves, they may be surpassed by them.
Wang Sheng knew that Xu Lei's subordinates were all veterans with years of combat experience, and their combat experience was much stronger than the group of quasi-new recruits under his command who had only been in the army for one or two years. The combat power they showed was naturally stronger. This is beyond doubt, and Xu Lei must be very clear about this.
However, whether it was Wang Sheng or Xu Lei, they still don’t understand how Chen Wen’s subordinates, who were in the army for three months or only one or two months, were trained to be so brave and powerful, which really made them feel incredible.
After being proud of it for more than half a year, the terrifying figure moving forward in the fire came back to Wang Sheng and Xu Lei's minds with the news of the chaos in Taizhou. This made them unwilling to face it, and they were even more optimistic about the situation in Taizhou. Now, they can only hope that Jinhua General Ma Jinbao and Taizhou General Ma Xin can try to eliminate Chen Wen and the genuine Nantang Camp.
Soon, Wang Sheng and Xu Lei arrived at the military command platform. At this moment, there was no one on the seats that had been placed on the military command platform. After Wang Sheng bowed and said goodbye to Xu Lei, he walked into the Ningbo Green Camp officers' queue below.
The Qing army has now been assembled, and today we will use the murder of a Ming army official who will never surrender to the death to boost the morale of the army, and also shock potential enemies and Ming court officials on Zhoushan.
The three-way drum was over, and the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, the general of Pingnan Gushan, the Jinli of Gushan, Liu Zhiyuan of Gushan, Wu Rujie, Xu Dagui of Mei Le, Xu of Zhejiang Admiral Tian Xiong and General Dinghai Zhang Jie of the Qing court, who were here, walked out of the tent in sequence, and climbed the military platform under the escort of their respective soldiers and sat down respectively.
The senior officials of the Qing Dynasty chatted and laughed for a few words, but just a gesture from Chen Jin. A small official from the boss of the stage, after receiving the order, went to the front of the military command.
"Take Wang Yi, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War."
Upon hearing the news, the Ming Dynasty managed the military affairs of Zhizhe. Wang Yi, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War and the left deputy chief censor, walked towards the wooden platform built for this execution under the escort of a whole team of Qing soldiers.
Wang Yi was still dressed up on the banks of Siming Lake. After the Qing army captured him, he did not do much abuse for the sake of persuading surrender. After that, the news that the Zuoying Camp was defeated by Chen Wen came, and Wang Yi's value doubled, allowing him to retain this wartime dress to this day.
Wang Yi walked calmly to the end point he was about to face, and his steps were neither too fast nor too slow, but it was like when he went to Zhoushan to meet His Highness the Superintendent of the Superintendent of the State. The Qing soldiers who were responsible for escorting him followed him step by step. If it weren't for Wang Yi's hands being tied behind him, these Qing soldiers would be like followers who were guarding him.
Regarding Wang Yi, whether it was Chen Jin, the governor of the Qing Dynasty in Zhejiang and Fujian, Tian Xiong who captured him personally, or other high-ranking officials of the Qing Dynasty present, they felt helpless.
It has been nearly a year since the Ming army was defeated in the Battle of Siming Lake and Wang Yi was arrested. Tian Xiong sent him to Hangzhou for the sake of equal benefits and gave him to the civil servants to persuade him to surrender. During this period, not only Chen Jin, but also officials including Zhejiang Governor Xiao Qiyuan, tried their best to coerce and induce people, and attracted some civil and military officials of the Lujian State who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty to show up and say that they almost used all the means they could use, but they were ineffective.
Wang Yi was not as swearing like Feng Jingdi, who was captured at the same time, and he was just sneering at the Qing Dynasty officials' persuasion of surrender and requesting him to write letters to persuade Chen Wen and Wang Jiang to surrender.
However, even if this person was in prison, he calmly sorted out his clothes and dressed up his hair every day. The Qing officials who went to persuade him to surrender asked him and said, "Let you see this Han official's dignity!" The person who heard about it had to leave in shame and resentment.
It would be fine if it was just like this. It was not uncommon for captured officials of the Ming Dynasty to be so pretentious, and it was not without people who lived a life of silence. It was just that when Chen Jin saw Wang Yi's final writing during the interrogation, he no longer had the interest in persuading surrender.
My loyalty, anger and blood splashed over the enemy!
The Qing Dynasty was just a group of barbarians. Even the Han people who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, even the Han army flags that became bannermen by changing their household registration books were just a group of traitors. The words that would tear off these high-ranking officials of the Qing Dynasty without any scruples were really impossible to use for them, and they would never persuade his colleague Wang Jiang and the brave general.
Then, in the eyes of Chen Jin and others, Wang Yi was the only one who could save him before attacking Zhoushan to sacrifice the flag. Of course, it was always necessary to persuade him in the end - a legitimate need.
"The bandits in Siming Mountain have been swept away by the official army, and the bandits on Zhoushan are just a group of native chickens and tiles. The Qing Dynasty is about to unify the whole world. Wang Jingluo, the emperor of this dynasty is kind, and if he is willing to surrender to the court, he will not lose the reward of titles."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yi, who was standing on the wooden platform, smiled a sneeringly, and said, "No need to say much, success or failure is all about the number of days. What do you know?!"
"Don't know the current affairs!"
Hearing this, Liu Zhiyuan picked up the bow and arrow that had been prepared, bent his bow and shot him at Wang Yi with an arrow.
Liu Zhiyuan was a member of the Han army's Huangqi Banner. He took the position of Jiala'erzhen as early as the eighth year of Chongzhen. Although he was not as good as Li Yongfang, Sun Degong and others, and even slightly inferior to Jinli, he was also an old traitor who entered the banner before entering the pass.
He had long known Wang Yi's final writing. The Han hero who still chose to fight to the end until the current situation was the most intolerable for traitors like him, because the existence of the heroes themselves was mocking their servitude and humility in front of the barbarians, making them more obvious on the pillar of shame in history.
Liu Zhiyuan flew out with an arrow and hit Wang Yi's shoulder, but Wang Yi was unmoved at all. He even looked at the point of the military plaque dozens of meters away and was completely motionless!
Although the battle on the shore of Siming Lake was easily won by traitors turning against each other, the Tibiao Battalion was always suppressing the Ming army in the battle, and even Wang Yi was captured by Tian Xiong himself. However, within a month, the previous victorious army was completely defeated by Wang Yi's generals and the remaining Dalanshan people. Even his beloved general Li Rong was killed by the formation. How could Tian Xiong not hate it?
At this moment, Tian Xiong had been waiting for a long time. Seeing that Liu Zhiyuan could not shake Wang Yi, he then stood up, took the bow and arrow of his personal soldiers, and another arrow passed by.
Although Tian Xiong was no longer fighting on the battlefield in person like he used to, his archery skills never fell. This arrow instantly drew a trajectory from the military-targeting platform, and passed a deep bone-showing wound on Wang Yi's cheek.
If it were someone else, if he had been arrows for two consecutive arrows, he would have fallen to the ground long ago. However, at this moment, Wang Yi was like a forest, feeling no pain at all, just staring at the distance calmly, motionless!
Liu Zhiyuan and Tian Xiong's two arrows could not make Wang Yi show any weakness. Jin Li held a bow in his left hand and an arrow in his right hand, looking into the distance. The string was like a full moon, and then an arrow flew out, hitting Wang Yi's flew out.
Unlike Tian Xiong, the Green Camp admiral who surrendered to the south, Jin Li surrendered to the Qing Dynasty as the Zhenwubao Dusi during the Battle of Guangning. He was the same group of traitors as Sun Degong. By the fifth year of Chongzhen, he was already Gushan Ezhen, who had the red flag of the Han army. At present, the Eight Banners stationed in Hangzhou were actually led by him, Gushan Ezhen, who had been sealed by the General Pingnan.
Such a experienced traitor naturally could not tolerate any Han boy who dared to resist the Qing Dynasty. His arrow was so powerful that he hit Wang Yi's strait and went straight into his chest. However, at this moment, Wang Yi was still standing on the stage like a mountain, motionless!
Blood had already come out of his wound, dyeing Wang Yi's clothes red, but his eyes were unprecedentedly calm, as if the injury had not happened.
"Emperor Gao, that seed has begun to take root and sprout, I have no regrets!"
There was a silence above the school ground, and all the Qing soldiers looked at it in a daze, watching the high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty standing here like a mountain, making it difficult for them to breathe out even in one breath.
I originally planned to use the abuse of Wang Yi to inspire the beastly nature of these Qing troops under my command, and at the same time shocked the potential enemies and the Ming court officials on Zhoushan, but Wang Yi's performance of being as steady as a mountain completely shocked these Qing troops. In this way, as the leader of this matter, how could Chen Jin not be angry and embarrassed at this moment?
"Wang Sheng!"
"The villain is here." As he said that, Wang Sheng, who was still as shocked as others, ran out of the officers' ranks of Ningbo Green Camp, and fell to the ground like a dog, lying on the ground waiting for Chen Jin's next instructions.
"Kill him!"
In Chen Jin's view, Wang Sheng first betrayed the Ming army units of Siming Mountain on the banks of Siming Lake, and then captured his former Shangguan Feng Jingdi. Such a traitor was just an example. However, in the previous military operation to encircle Siming Mountain, this person was said to have performed well, so he had to be completely forced to turn back before he could let go.
A dagger was placed in the tray on the hand of the little official who was in the ritual. Wang Sheng did not dare to hesitate at all, picked up the dagger and walked towards the wooden platform where the execution was executed.
Wang Sheng walked up to the wooden platform and saw the culprit who killed tens of thousands of Ming troops in Siming Mountain with his own hands. Wang Yi's gaze changed a little, but the gaze that looked at Wang Sheng was just like seeing a dead person.
The previous scene was always affecting Wang Sheng. Although he took the dagger, his hands were still trembling and trembling uncontrollably when he was walking on the road. However, when he saw Wang Yi's gaze, Wang Sheng was still completely angry.
"Wang Jingluo, the Qing Dynasty has occupied eight or nine out of ten in the world. Do you really think that Chen's surname can turn the tables?!"
He pulled out the dagger and threw the scabbard to the ground. Wang Sheng slashed through Wang Yi's throat. The sword light flashed, and as the wound formed, blood also splattered Wang Sheng's body.
The trachea was broken by a sharp weapon, and the soul flew away with the blood spurting out. Without the control of the soul, the body could not stand here.
Wang Yi fell down, and Wang Sheng, as the executioner, turned back to Chen Jin to report to Chen Jin. However, even so, the oppression brought by Wang Yi still affected everyone present. Even Chen Jin, as the highest-level official of the Qing Dynasty in Zhejiang and Fujian provinces, could not get rid of this feeling.
When Wang Yi died, his body fell to the ground, but his will still stand still, and existed like a mountain in the heart of everyone here.
When the Mongyuan killed Wen Tianxiang, his descendants scoffed at the saying "Boyuan killed Wen Tianxiang but could not kill the Han family's righteous spirit that had been passed down for thousands of years." Although Chen Jin did not know this, similar words appeared in his mind.
However, in the eyes of the old traitor who could no longer turn back and had no intention of turning back, as long as he could conquer Zhoushan and capture the Lu Jianguo alive, the anti-Qing movement in Zhejiang would completely collapse. And the Han people in Zhejiang and even all of China would be like him, as slaves of barbarians for generations and would never turn over.
In this way, no one has any position to mock him for his behavior of accusing a tiger like a vicious dog over the years.
"Yes, capturing Zhoushan means completely suppressing the will of the Han people in Zhejiang." Chen Jin thought in his heart.
Chapter completed!
