Chapter 92 Qualitative Change 1

The Nanchang Shogunate, captured by the Ming army in this siege, basically occupied the vast majority of the entire Nanchang Shogunate. The rest either escaped from the city or were originally in some places in the west of Raozhou Prefecture and Guangxin Prefecture.

At the same time, after identification, there were 5,000 Green Camp soldiers sentenced to death, which was nearly half of the captured soldiers in this battle. The rest does not mean that they did not ravage the people in those days. It was just that time was urgent, and they were afraid of causing chaos in the people. Chen Wen had not had time to conduct a more detailed investigation, so he had to carry out a little bit, trying not to let a murderer escape punishment.

However, Chen Wen's penalties were punished on such a large scale, especially those high-ranking generals, and there were some different voices in Chen Wen's curtain. Most of them were afraid that in the future, especially the bastion defenders who refused to surrender, they would resist to the death. However, Chen Wen's will was so will. Moreover, these Qing officials and generals were all criminals, and the final execution began to be executed as scheduled.

Outside the East City Gate of Guangxin Mansion City, a few days ago, the people in the city were forced to listen to their wives, daughters and sisters being rudely insulted by green camp soldiers, but they were forced to strengthen the location of their fortifications under the pressure of swords and guns. Lingchi and the punishment of beheading were performed at the same time.

Hong Chengchou's illness could not last long, and the original finale had to be staged first. Chen Wen was too lazy to talk to him about the old traitor, and put on his shoes without trashing shit. So after the military judge read out the crime, the master who specially invited from Jinhua Mansion was the "human structure expert" who was in charge of Lingchi Ma Jinbao that year, and started his slicing course.

Hong Chengchou's court wards of the first-rank official of the Qing Dynasty had long been taken down and thrown to the side, but this skinny old traitor did make it difficult for the expert to get started.

According to convention, if Lingchi's swords are not enough, the person who was sentenced will die. The executioner must even sit down. Fortunately, Chen Wen also knew that Hong Chengchou had already devoted himself to the Qing Dynasty and could not hold on. Therefore, death is dead. It doesn't matter. Just cut the number of swords to the end. As for whether it is to turn from Lingchi to the back and turn into a corpse, it doesn't matter. He wants this form.

After the first slap, although he slapped that palm as usual, he didn't even shed a drop of blood, which made the master stunned. Especially after the slap, Hong Chengchou didn't even react, and even the apprentice who was beating around the expert couldn't help but praise him for a tough guy.

But after a closer look, I found that I had fainted. I just didn't know if I was fainted before or after the knife. Maybe it was because the cool breeze blew on the execution ground when the clothes were taken off.

Who knows?

The punishment of Lingchi on the stage has begun, and the beheading on the other side is also being carried out at the same time. In contrast, there are very few people in Hong Chengchou's human structure courses, most of which are civil and military personnel of the Ming army and some people within the system. However, the Green Camp soldiers who committed evil deeds were crowded, and almost all the people in the city came out to participate in this visual feast.

"The people of Guangxin Mansion really don't have any learning spirit."

The culprit was punished, and Chen Wen's mood was much more relieved, so he naturally started to make more jokes, but some things were not as funny as jokes.

"Hong Chengchou's lingchi ends. From the next start, the military doctors will go to the stage to observe nearby. Such a rare opportunity is for them. If you don't understand what the muscles under your skin look like, how can you carry out subsequent analysis research?"

The execution started on the afternoon of the first day and lasted for three days. The screams outside the city continued day and night, but the people inside and outside the city were living with the Ming army in awe while enjoying the pleasure of revenge.

Three days later, the execution was settled. In addition to Hong Chengchou's death without even escaping the first day, there was another civil servant who was scared to death. Overall, it was quite acceptable.

After the execution outside the city, the military doctors learned a lot of knowledge that was difficult to learn on weekdays after vomiting. For Hong Chengchou and Chen Wen had a series of other plans. For example, the kneeling statue was not only in front of the loyal temple built by Guangxin Mansion to worship the victimized women, but also in other places to be prepared. In addition, such as the critical offensive of "Zhejiang Dibao", as well as the many evil deeds of writing scripts to make Hong Chengchou and the dramas that the Ming army killed him.

Chen Wen even thought for a time that just being a stonemason in the area occupied by the Ming army would probably get much better from it than usual in the future. Moreover, this is because its commercial value has not been thoroughly discovered. For example, fried dough sticks can be called fried cypress, and silver silk tofu soup that emphasizes the ultimate skill can also be called silver silk Chengchou soup. Just thinking about it makes you lose your appetite.

As for the heads of the Green Camp soldiers, Chen Wen asked someone to build a Jingguan outside the city, engraved the crimes committed by these beasts on a stone tablet, and erected them in a newly built pavilion near Jingguan so that future generations can record this history and give other Green Camp soldiers a memory.

Of course, these murderers were killed, not only punishing the crime, but also upholding justice for the local people, but the sequelae also appeared as expected. The fighting will of the Qing army in the basin suddenly increased, and they defeated the enemy without fighting, and surrendering to the city showed that it was impossible for them to be the moment.

"Thus, I'm missing the four major positions of Li Benshen, Liu Guangbi, Bu Shilong and Hu Quancai. Is Hong Chengchou's main civil and military officials in the Nanchang Shogunate of Guangxin Prefecture the place?"

“That’s exactly that.”

"Is there any news about Li Benshen and Hu Quancai?"

"not yet."

"Well, let's start with Liu Guangbi and Bu Shilong. I just happen to have a lot of accounts to settle with this guy Liu Guangbi."

The military strategy says: If you 10, you will surround it, if you 5, you will attack it, if you 5, you will fight it, if you can divide it, if you 5, you will escape it, if you are not as good as you can avoid it. Therefore, the strongness of a small enemy is the capture of a big enemy.

This passage from Sun Wuzi refers to the general situation, the greater the advantage of doing the greater the thing, and the word "safety" is to be used.

Chen Wen's army has set out, with less than 10,000 remaining soldiers - three battalions are stationed in three directions to block the route of the Qing army's large-scale escape. One thousand soldiers guard the city, and the other more than 1,000 people have to withdraw half to supplement the battalions to make plans, while the remaining half will be used to sweep away several counties near Guangxin City. For example, Xing'an, Qianshan, and Yongfeng, which was just captured by the Qing army not long ago, will soon stage a drama of the change of the king flag on the city.

As for the Qing army he had to face, it was not just the Three Thousand Green Camps of Guangxinfu Town and the bastion. During the capture of the city, a large number of Qing troops fled into the bastion, enhancing the bastion's troops and defense capabilities, but further exacerbating the shortage of food and grass.

However, Chen Wen did not intend to just waste it. He took the lead in taking out the military technology of Lenbuo on the Chinese battlefield, and he was also planning to end the myth of military technology being invincible in defense.

Chen Wen called this, fate!

In order to prevent the Qing army from fleeing with the weak military force of the Ming army, Chen Wen had handed over most of the prisoners to Zhao Qian in the past few days. His first task was to build a long encirclement so that the Qing army in the basin could be completely encircled and killed in it.

Changwei can be built from the wall of the city, which can reasonably reduce the construction volume. However, Changwei's construction is still in progress, and he also needs to prepare for the subsequent work, especially some treasures have to come from Jinhua, so the siege is not in a hurry.

At this moment, Hong Chengchou's head had already changed its signboard and became Chen Wen's head. He threw Hong Chengchou's Grand Master chair out and pointed it out. Chen Wen sat on the chair, listening to the reports summarized by various departments.

In the Yushan victory, 20,000 Qing army soldiers were defeated in one battle, beheading more than 3,000, but a total of 40,000 were captured. Most of them were forced to recruit auxiliary soldiers, but nearly 6,000 Qing army soldiers were captured. In contrast, the Ming army itself also suffered a thousand casualties.

With a casualty rate of up to 10%, the Ming army not only did not collapse, but instead became more and more brave. Chen Wen even thought that if there were no grenadiers at that time, the ability of this increasingly modern army to withstand casualties might have been consumed to collapse.

Of course, as the head coach, he not only needs to ensure victory, but also to minimize his own casualties. The next step should the army change to better adapt to the future battlefield, and he already has a rough outline in his mind, but it will take more time to unfold.

Compared with the previous battle, this siege battle seemed a bit unreasonable in terms of exchange ratio data. It captured a strong city at the level of the mansion guarded by more than 20,000 elite Qing army soldiers, and completely attacked the city. The result was that nearly 3,000 were beheaded and more than 10,000 soldiers were captured. In the end, the number of casualties of the Ming army was only 219. Moreover, this was the result of counting the light wounded together. Otherwise, if you only count the deaths in the battle, even the number of 100 would not be broken.

Behind this unbelievable number is the corpses of the prisoners and auxiliary soldiers who were driven by the Ming army to pounce on the city. More importantly, the Ming army has reached an absolute crush on weapons, equipment and combat morale. The Qing army's casualties over the past two days were not as good as that field battle, and it was all like this.

In addition, the numbers seized together in the two battles were really shocked Chen Wen.

The treasury, military camps, and even the entire city were all counted. The amount of silver in the basic unit of one million taels and grain in the unit of one million stones seemed to be emptying the supplies of Jiangxi Province to raise this army.

However, according to the accounts in the Martial Arts Office, most of the money and grain were transported from Jiangnan, and the Qing government in Jiangxi was still farming. Chen Wen really had to admire Hong Chengchou's foresight - this traitor had thought of the economic pressure after defeating the Ming army in Zhejiang, and he was really not an ordinary bureaucrat.

"According to the rules, the seized money will continue to be stored in the warehouse and will be used as soon as possible. The same is true for other seizeds, which makes the quarantine officials keep a close eye on it."

"The lower official obeys the order."

In the past few days, I have handled a lot of official duties, and it can be expected that the subsequent work will only be busier and will never be easier than now.

Jiangxi is known as "the head of Wu and the tail of Chu, and the houses of Guangdong and Fujian", and its geographical location is bordered by five provinces: Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong and Huguang. Most of Zhejiang is in the hands of Chen Wen, but the other provinces are still in the hands of the Qing Dynasty. If Jiangxi is occupied by him, then the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in the hands of the Qing Dynasty will be cut off by him. The Qing army in Guangdong and Fujian will be facing the embarrassment of food shortage. There is a very likely battle to stabilize the occupied area.

In addition, Jiangxi Province, from Jiujiang Prefecture to Ganzhou Prefecture, the southernmost part of Jiangxi Province, has a total of thirteen prefectures, with a land area of ​​more than 160,000 square kilometers. Chen Wen is now in Zhejiang's occupied area, only eight prefectures and 80,000 square kilometers.

Although a large number of officials have been trained in civil servant training classes and martial arts schools, it still takes more effort to turn the extra "two" from "one" to "three" and it is necessary to completely transform the extra "two" into a stable basic foundation.

Fortunately, this is so difficult, but it is completely impossible to deal with the rise of the Qing Dynasty in recent years. Moreover, Chen Wen himself also has a spirit of unwilling to give up, otherwise it would not have been possible to develop step by step in Zhejiang, a province with extremely strong Qing army.

The vanguard army led by several confidant generals had set out. Taking advantage of the gap that the Qing forces around them had not yet reacted, they had the opportunity to slowly integrate. In addition, as early as the night of the Yushan Victory, Chen Wen had already sent a messenger back to Jinhua, asking Sun Yu and the martial arts school to prepare for officials who were in Jiangxi to take up their posts. The army must also train more recruits to come out so that they could swallow this piece of fat steadily.

After stretching, Chen Wen began to continue to issue orders to Jinhua, and by the way he would write a letter to Zhou Yueying, telling her that he might not be able to return to Zhejiang in the next few months, so that she could take care of herself without worrying about it.

While Chen Wen was writing the letter, Zhou Yueying, who was far away in Jinhua City, also brought the dowry maid to Chen Wen's study.

According to common practice, the study of the owner of the family is not accessible to ordinary people, and most of the sanitation is cleaned by the book boy. Chen Wen does not have the book boy, and Zhou Yueying, the person next to the pillow, is usually done by the study boy, to ensure that the secrets are not leaked.

However, she is pregnant now and is her first child, so she naturally has to be very careful. Yesterday, her mother and Chen Wen's mother-in-law temporarily moved into the inner house of Duke Xiuguo's mansion to accompany her daughter. This kind of work of cleaning the study was sent to the dowry maid. After all, this girl is the servant Zhou Yueying trusts the most in the house.

The dowry maid Mo'er was still wiping the furniture on the other side of the study seriously, but Zhou Yueying sat in front of Chen Wen's desk and frowned, thinking hard at the Guangdong map in front of her that Chen Wen had seen many times.

"Can you say that your husband is suspicious of the Xining King's defeat at Xinhui City?"

It was only the beginning of late May, and there was still a month before the Siege of Xinhui City officially began. Zhou Yueying didn't know that Li Dingguo had been infected since April and could not recover until August, so he rushed to Xinhui City to command the battle. Naturally, he wouldn't know how that catastrophe occurred.

However, Chen Wen had thought hard on the map of Guangdong like her a while ago, but he couldn't find a clue. The messenger who came back to report the message a few days ago also brought her the news that Chen Wen was safe. However, Zhou Yueying had to think about this matter. Because the southern end of Jiangxi is Guangdong. If Li Dingguo really defeated Xinhui, the threat from Jiangxi in the south would increase dramatically!

"We have to think of a way to let the King of Xining hold up the dog thief Shang Kexi, otherwise if the person surnamed Shang and Hu join forces, it will be difficult for the husband to take all the Jiangxi provinces." (To be continued.)
