Chapter 52 Ship to the top

Historically, after Mao Mingshan stole Wang Yi's head with Lu Yuding, Jiang and Han, he joined Wang Jiang in the tenth year of Yongli, and regained Dalan Mountain to support Chen Liuyu's uprising. It was not until half a year later that the Qing army sent General Ninghai, and Ezhen Yild, the Zhenghuang Banner Gushan, and the Qing army in Zhejiang, who died in the formation before sieging Zhoushan again before siegeing Siming Mountain.

But now, because Wang Jiang escaped the Qing army's encirclement and suppression of Simingshan last year and Chen Wen's sudden emergence, the Qing army strengthened its supervision of Wang Yi's head, and Lu Yuding and others had to modify the previous plan. Originally, with the bravery of Mao Mingshan and Jiang Han, coupled with the sudden attack, it was not impossible to escape. However, when Mao Mingshan discovered that the commander of the Qing army was Xu Lei, his whole body was immediately burned by resentment, and the final fireworks bloomed five years in advance under the Wangjing Gate.

At the same time, Lu Yuding drove a boat away under the cover of fighting on the city. He left the boat until a hidden place, put on his original clothes and returned home, hid Wang Yi's head in the study, waiting for Wang Yi to be buried one day.

More than ten days later, in Yiwu, hundreds of miles away, Chen Wen's recent recruitment of thousands of new recruits also completed most of the basic training tasks.

Since the organization is based on the first game of Nantangying as a blueprint, the weapons and equipment of the Yuanyang Formation and other troops have not changed much, and the training of these new recruits is no different.

However, the Qing army is about to encircle and suppress the enemy. Under the urgency of time, Chen Wen had to train according to his process and content when he was in Dalan Mountain. In addition, there were too many new recruits, and the proportion with veterans reached 7 to 1, so he had to come up with a completely different organizational method than before.

The urgency of the Qing army to encircle and suppress the new recruits led to the short training time, and the number of veterans was too small, and it was impossible to break up the mixed group again under the current situation of the enemy. Chen Wen encountered a problem of cohesion that he had never encountered before.

In order to minimize its impact on combat effectiveness as much as possible, Chen Wen decided to organize the killer teams of the newly compiled bureaus according to their hometowns and relatives, so as to strengthen combat capabilities based on the cohesion of their fellow countrymen and their own races. This method is not uncommon in China, including the Swiss in Europe, who have used this to strengthen their army to fight against the Austrian cavalry.

However, this organizational method is extremely unfavorable for Chen Wen, who is not a local native of the hometown, and most of the members come from Lao Nantangying, where Ningshao Taizhou and other places, and may face the risk of being undermined by local clans and aristocratic families.

However, the Qing army is about to encircle and suppress the enemy. If this is not the case, it is very likely that the Qing army will be exhausted with absolute superior troops by relying on the more than a thousand groups of Lao Nantang Camp, which is not sound.

Based on his understanding of history, Chen Wen seized this period of time for the last anti-Qing in Zhejiang, which was also a fleeting opportunity. However, the Qing army would never tolerate him to continue to develop, especially in such inland prefectures. Once defense loopholes occur again, it is likely to be a large-scale turmoil.

Therefore, if you want to survive, develop, and even sweep away from all over the place, you must first try to withstand this initial counterattack. As for the future, that is the future. Without the present, there will be no future!

The training of this new army continued, and the Qing army was not idle at Jinhua Fucheng less than a hundred miles away. Apart from the remaining Biaoying in Jinhua Town where Ma Jinbao, three battalions from Quzhou, Yanzhou and Chuzhou also arrived at Jinhua Fucheng one after another. The Dubiaoying, who set out from Dinghai at the same time, also arrived in Quzhou smoothly. After the necessary rest, he entered Jinhuafu as planned to participate in the encirclement and suppression.

Since the troops were not yet superior, they were as arrogant as horse Jinbao. After learning about the battle from the Qing army that fled back, they did not dare to send troops easily to solve Chen Wen's tiger beard.

However, the military operation has not yet begun. After Ma Jinbao arrived, Li Zhifang also took out new countermeasures to fight Chen Wen's anti-Qing propaganda. The content of his propaganda was also very simple, that is, the Battle of Zhoushan that just ended.

Since the ending of the Qing army encircled Simingshan in the fourth year of Yongli, even though Taizhou successfully restrained Ma Jinbao's southern Qing army, Ruan Jin was accidentally captured and died as in history, due to the crucial battle of Hengshuiyang, Ruan Jin was accidentally captured and killed as in history. The ending of the battle of Zhoushan did not change.

After the Qing army captured Zhoushan City, it carried out an inhumane massacre, and more than 10,000 people died.

During this period, General Liu Shixun, who was in charge of the city guarding, General Zhang Mingyang, General Ma Tai and others fought hard to die in the country; Chen, the chief concubine of Lu, and others jumped into a well and died. Concubine Rong and Prince Liu Ge were captured by the Qing army; Grand Secretary of the Cabinet Zhang Kentang, Minister of Rites Wu Zhongluan, Minister of War Li Xiangzhong, Minister of Works Li Xiangyou, Minister of Works Zhu Yongyou, General of the Tongzheng Zheng Zunjian, Chief Secretary of the Military Department Dong Zhining, Director of the Military Department Zhu Yangshi and many other officials committed suicide to their country.

At the same time, Li Changxiang, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, Zhang Yunfei, the generals of the army, Yin Wenju, Cai Yingxuan, Tu Denghua, etc.; Jin Yunyan, the generals of the army under Zhang Mingzhen, Qiu Yuanji, the Ministry of Rites, Sun Yanling, Ni Sanyi, etc.; Li Shimi of the Taipu Temple, Zhou Shili, deputy, Gan, capital, guard Zhou Mingchen, Zheng Guohua, Wang Peiyuan, etc. successively surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, "all distributed good deeds from the mainland to plant."

The Battle of Zhoushan ended with the failure of the Ming army. Li Zhifang relied on Ma Jinbao and the strength of the Qing army to help the Qing army to control the counties and publicize the matter extensively, in order to use this to attack the morale of the Ming army and prepare for the upcoming encirclement and suppression.

Chen Wen was very clear about these things, and according to later records, he knew more clearly that the loss of the Ming army's troops in this battle was not very large. It was just that because the base was captured, most of the families who stayed there were martyred, so they were depressed and unable to fight again.

In addition, the unstable life of wandering on the sea later led to some generals' disappointment in their future, including General Jingyang, General Zhang Ying, General Ruan Shu, General Ruan Yu, New attacks on Hu Hou, Ruan Mei, General Ruan Jie, Wei Bin and others went to Fujian to surrender to the Qing side. Lu Jianguo, Zhang Mingzhen and others had to take the rest of their troops to Zheng Chenggong, and the history of the Ming army in Zhoushan was completely over.

However, it was not a witness, and Chen Wen could not provide strong evidence to refute it. In addition, the Ming army in Zhoushan was unable to fight again, and it was even more impossible to cross Taizhou to aid Jinhua. The reality of the Qing army's great power still exists. Even if he could refute it, there was no need for him to do so.

So far, Li Zhifang has caused a lot of trouble for Chen Wen. Although most of them can only play a disgusting role, this is already extremely capable among the Qing officials that Chen Wen has contacted. However, Li Zhifang was not a celebrity in the Internet of Chen Wen's era, and the protagonist of the Three Feudal Rebellion was also Wu Sangui instead of Geng Jingzhong. So much so that Chen Wen did not expect that the current Jinhua Prefecture Promotion Office would be the later Governor of Zhejiang.

Li Zhifang's propaganda caused a certain panic in the Ming army-occupied areas, and at the same time suppressed some signs of rebellion in the Qing army-occupied areas of Jinhua Prefecture, which made it suddenly more difficult for Chen Wen to obtain materials from these places.

Since Li Zhifang brought out counter-revolutionary propaganda, Chen Wen felt that he could only use revolutionary propaganda to deal with it. In this way, he would not be overwhelmed by the Qing army in Jinhua Prefecture.

In the new manifesto, Chen Wen admitted that because the two places were far apart, he was not clear about the specific situation in Zhoushan. However, he hoped that the elders of Jinhua Prefecture could understand that if the Ming army he led was unlucky, the Qing army would inevitably massacre Yiwu and Dongyang, and would retaliately massacre the subordinate villages and towns. Those righteous men who secretly donated supplies to the Ming army, even those who were suspected of donating to the Ming army by the Qing army would inevitably be retaliated by the Qing army.

In the current situation, no matter what Zhoushan is hundreds of miles away, the gentry and people in Jinhua can only save their lives by relying on the Ming army to repel the Qing army.

Chen Wen's propaganda is almost consistent with the previous manifesto in terms of purpose, which is to use the fear caused by the Qing Dynasty and Ma Jinbao's actions over the years, which is more intuitive to local people, to arouse the desire for resistance, thus stabilizing the Ming army's occupied areas while causing the military and civilians in the rear of the Qing army to doubt and confront each other.

After the new manifesto was issued, Chen Wen's materials obtained from the Qing army occupied areas were still not increased, but Yiwu and Dongyang counties began to show a straight upward trend. Even the new recruits in the two places in the military camp consciously increased their training volume, as if preparing for the last carnival feast.

The war that was regarded as the last crazy by the local gentry and the people could begin at any time. A few days later, the old camp of the Ming army in Dalan Mountain, which was originally stationed in Tiantai Mountain, had also crossed Xinchang, Sheng County, and entered the boundary of Dongyang County under the escort of the left-behind troops in Nantang Camp.

Upon hearing the news, Chen Wen left his military affairs and rushed to Hulu Town in the north of Dongyang County to welcome him. The ships he had prepared before could also transport the old camp to the county towns of Dongyang County and Yiwu County, the ruling center of the Ming army at the fastest speed. However, before he could get there, he was intercepted by Yu Guowang, who came with the pioneer troops.

When he saw Yu Guowang with his own eyes, Chen Wen couldn't believe his eyes. Less than two months ago, they captured Tiantai County side by side. Although Yu Guowang had long hair, there were only a few strands of black hair mixed in his hair. However, when he saw him again, he was covered with white hair and no more black hair.

In the military tent, listening to Yu Guowang's tears telling about everything that happened to Chen Wen's journey back to Taizhou, especially outside Linhai County, the battle of Qian Zheng, which won first and then lost, and the news that Jin Tang, Gao Yiqing and others died one after another, Chen Wen immediately understood everything.

Recalling the news of the Battle of Zhoushan that he received from the Qing army's occupation, his heart was instantly overwhelmed by condemnation and regret.

After arriving at Tiantai Mountain, Chen Wen began to consider the problems of the Battle of Zhoushan and Taizhou, but the answer he got was that the Battle of Hengshuiyang could not be reversed. Unless he had at least more than 5,000 elite troops like Nantang Camp, he could not defeat the Qing army. However, such a large-scale army was not only unable to be formed with the remaining materials from the old camp, but even if it could be formed, Zhang Mingzhen would never be able to let him land on the island. After all, the first dynasty's first lesson was not far away, just in the after-Xia period.

Taizhou has a mountainous terrain, not only to separate all the counties it belongs to, but also the land and soil are not enough to support the Ming army in the Lu State Supervisory State system to form a larger army to resist the Qing army's attack and then recover the lost territory.

Coupled with the sequelae of the Battle of Siming Lake, Chen Wen, as Wang Yi's general, was also unable to trust the largest mountain in the Ming army system of the Lujian Kingdom - the group of honored ministers headed by Zhang Mingzhen, the Marquis of Dingxi. This is why he decided to take the risk of taking advantage of the defense loopholes of the Qing army during that period to attack Jinhua Prefecture and try to recover the lost territory alone.

However, when the news arrived, the defeat of the Battle of Zhoushan, tens of thousands of people were massacred; Taizhou won first and then defeated the battle. Yu Guowang and Jintang, the two largest local anti-Qing armed forces, were almost wiped out, and the other Ming troops began to be vigorously encircled by the Qing army.

There have been too many sacrifices. Even though most of these are powerless, as a time traveler, the regret that he cannot change the tragedy is still filled with his heart.

After a moment, Chen Wen had to face the heavy weight that had been pressing on Yu Guowang's heart for a while.
