Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Regardless of whether the historians call this war the War of Founding and Unification from a positive standpoint, or the War of North and South from a neutral standpoint, or it is a war that changed the geopolitical map of Eurasia, the Pacific, and the Indian Ocean.  , for the people at the bottom, they have the simplest name.  Green and red fight.  Qing is naturally the Qing army, while red is the army of Li Shouhan, who is currently called the Hongwu Army.  The common people in the Central Plains could not shout the military bugle of Quan Hongwu Army, and they knew that these people were not the original officers and soldiers.  It is simply called a red soldier.  It just so happens that there is color on both sides.  If the land of China is turned into a huge map, with the Yangtze River as the dividing line, the red color of the Hongwu Army will be the main color to the south of the Yangtze River, with cyan mixed in several cities such as Nanjing and Hangzhou.  To the north of the Yangtze River, the Qing army's cyan color is dominant, while in Shandong, Denglai and other areas, there are large areas of red.  However, between the main colors of the blockbuster, there are large and small variegated color blocks.  Shandong, Linqing Prefecture.  The smoke at the top of the city gradually extinguished. On the embankment outside the city, under the banner of two commanders, Wu Fengxian and Zhang Linghu looked at Linqing City and let out a long breath.  This city is finally theirs.  "Report! Commander! We have eliminated the thieves in the city! This is their seal!" The two men's subordinates galloped from the city on horseback, each holding a huge seal in their hands.  "Linqing knows the state's customs defense?" "Linqing's river defense camp general?" The two customs defense seals are obviously over-the-counter. They are made of fine silver. They are large and rough, and they all reflect the aesthetic views of their owners.  "That's it? Where are the official documents and flags issued to them by the Duke?" Zhang Linghu was a little dissatisfied.  "Commander, when we broke the city, the rebels broke out and took away all the official documents and flags with them!" We were unable to seize the official documents of this peasant army, and we did not seize the Liang Guogong Mansion for them.  The issued flag, then, the legal status of these people is still there, and they can find a silversmith to cast dozens of these seals at any time!  Zhang Linghu was so angry that he threw the seal of the river defense battalion general under the embankment, rolled a few times on the ice, and disappeared.  For more than half a year, Wu Fengxian and Zhang Linghu's troops, with more than 30,000 troops, have been chasing the north with various rebel armies.  There was no way, those motley armed forces who came from the horse thieves and pole regiments to train stragglers and so on, obtained official documents and military flags from Mrs. Li Dashao in Dengzhou and Linyi Wu Xing through various channels, and transformed into the Hongwu Army.  A certain battalion and a certain unit under the Northern Route Army.  "Open Qingjiangpu, I am the master of the two Huaihe Rivers!" "Open Jinan Prefecture, and be the governor of Shandong!" Similar slogans have been accepted by various armed forces commissioned by the Duke's government as slogans to motivate the troops. North of the Yangtze River and on both sides of the Huaihe River,  The canal basin resounded through the sky.  Seals with a strong flavor of the nouveau riche were cast by gold and silver craftsmen to issue orders in a city like Linqing.  Until their masters were driven out of the city by the Qing army, they caught up with them in the countryside and annihilated them.  "However, these armed forces are like wildfire, rising and falling one after another.  The troops of Zhang Linghu and Wu Fengxian, who were responsible for guarding Shandong, were exhausted, and the most precious time and space was bought for Lu Mahong and Wu Xing in the Denglai area and the Lunan mountainous area.  Among them, the most powerful one is Xie Qian's headquarters in Dongchang Prefecture.  Linqing Prefecture, which was besieged by Wu and Zhang today, was his subordinate.  At present, in Jiangbei, even in the Zhenjiang, Yangzhou and Huaihe areas where the most Qing troops are stationed, there are armed forces of all sizes and shapes roaming the countryside. Most of them have accepted appointments from the Duke's Palace or the general's palace and received official documents.  and military pay, equipment, and banners, harassing the Qing army in the rear.  Some were organized by local officials, claiming to have received a secret order from His Majesty Emperor Longwu, and the rebels retook the lost territory.  These armed forces can be found along the canal, from Jiangbei to the Huaihe River, across the Yellow River to Baoding, Tianjin and other places.  "Wu Fengxian and Zhang Linghu have been killing these armed forces on the ground in Shandong for the past year.  According to the agreement between the two, the seized property was divided equally between the two children.  In accordance with the decree of the regent, the officers and soldiers who recovered the area will appoint officials and report them to the Ministry of Civil Affairs for record.  So, they sat in rows and divided the fruit in two rows. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of Linqing, the great land of wealth, shall be recovered, it is necessary for two persons to negotiate the price.  Although the canal was cut off due to the war, and freight traffic between the north and the south was not smooth, a lean camel was bigger than a horse. After all, Linqing was a choke point on the canal, and it received a lot of tax money every year.  Whoever is sent to the Linqing Tax Supervisor, it is essential that the two generals communicate openly and honestly in a cordial and friendly atmosphere.    "You and I will each send out one battalion of soldiers and horses to escort the captured baggage to Jinan and hand it over to the prince. Then each will send out two battalions of soldiers to go to Dongchang Mansion and drive Xie Qian out of the city. If we can regain the city, we will be able to regain it."  Okay, if you can't recover it, drive him towards Dengzhou. Wait for the large group of troops to arrive and then kill him in the field!" Linqing City was in a state of chaos as if it had receded.  Smoke was rising from the burned-out houses, and items used to build fortification barricades, such as straw bags and vehicles, were scattered everywhere on the streets.  Discarded clothing, turbans, etc. can be seen everywhere on the ground. They have long been filthy because they have been trampled on.  Accompanying these were weapons such as knives, guns, pitchforks, and the corpses of Xie Qian¡¯s men.  Some of them who were not dead were injured and fell in the corner, or struggled on the ground and screamed in pain.  The dark red blood had no time to seep into the ground, forming pools of blood on the ground.  Groups of soldiers with shaved heads and braids, with red eyes and swords and guns in their hands, searched around the city for the remnants of the rebels. They had to search the cabinets and boxes in the residents' homes to see if the women had escaped.  They were disguised by rioters, so you have to take off your clothes for inspection.  For a time, the city of Linqing was abuzz with cries and howls everywhere.  Oh, no, there was a huge crowd and a joyful welcome to Master Wang¡¯s arrival.  In this jubilant atmosphere, Wu Fengxian and Zhang Linghu stared at each other like two black-eyed chickens in the Zhizhou Hall.  Nothing but ownership of this piece of fat Linqing.  There is no other way. Who told Linqing Customs to collect goods tax and salt tax in addition to shipping tax?  Not to mention the tax collection of millions of dollars every year in the past few years, even during the Tianqi years, taxes of hundreds of thousands of dollars could easily be collected!  Even if the canal is not open now, at least hundreds of thousands or millions of taxes should come in every year. With these tens of millions of money in hand, wouldn't it be nice for me to raise a few more brigades of soldiers and horses?  Just when the two of them were arguing about who should own this official position, a subordinate stumbled in.  "Commander! It's not good! We were robbed by Xie Qian's people on the way to Jinan to transport our baggage!" Before he finished speaking, someone else ran in.  "Commander! We were ambushed on the way to Dongchang Mansion, so we sent someone to ask for help!" But it turns out that you think you are a fisherman, and you don't know that you have become someone else's prey.  This Linqing Prefecture City is the bait dropped by Xie Qian!  The purpose is to let Wu Fengxian and Zhang Linghu divide their forces!  In Shandong at the moment, in addition to the thousands of Eight Banners soldiers stationed in Jinan Prefecture, various prefectures and cities are stationed for green battalion soldiers such as Wu Fengxian and Zhang Linghu. Then, officials and gentry come forward to organize regiment training, Lianzhuanghui and other armed forces are entrenched.  In the countryside, the rebels were stationed between states, counties and villages.  It is not uncommon for various armed forces to attack each other for territory and salary.  Xie Qian's troops are currently the most powerful and powerful among the armed forces in Shandong that have been commissioned by the government.  Not only is it the most powerful in the so-called Southern Army system, but it is also one of the best among the various armed forces on the ground in Shandong.  Being able to become a presence in Shandong behind the Qing army except Lu Mahong and Wu Xing, Xie Qian naturally has his own merits.  Not to mention anything else, his team alone has already accommodated dozens of stragglers and soldiers from the Longhu Camp. Among them are those who have fallen behind, some who are recuperating in fellow villagers' homes due to injuries, and some who have made a small fortune.  Cai later deserted while carrying guns and horses.  These people became the backbone of his army when he launched his army.  Later, many officers and soldiers from the Beijing camp and field soldiers from various farms were added. Although they were not as pure of blood as Lu Mahong's men, they were not much worse than Wu Xing's troops.  This plan to abandon Linqing Prefecture and lure Wu and Zhang to split their troops was the work of an old man from Longhu Camp.  Xie Qian was wearing a scarlet cloak and holding a telescope in his hand, watching his troops pounce on the convoy that stretched for several miles on the official road.  This trip had been deduced many times in his plan, and the purpose was not to recapture the baggage materials, but for another purpose.  The people and horses he personally led to intercept the baggage were all horse teams. Whether they were donkeys or mules, everyone had four legs, and their advantage was that they could walk like flying.  The other group of people and horses were his elite, numbering in the thousands, all wearing Nanzhong weapons and armor, in order to eat up Zhang Linghu and Wu Fengxian's four battalions of soldiers and horses in one bite in the field.  He also knew that although his troops and horses were in the front row among the various armed forces in Shandong, they were still slightly inferior to those of Wu and Zhang.  "After eating, these two people, these two people who recognize their father everywhere, it's time to pounce from Linqing Prefecture to Dongchang Mansion." In the camera, in the queue of the baggage convoy, facing the rushing rebels, the driver  The driver held his head with both hands in a professional manner, clasping his hands tightly.??Whip put his legs together and leaned against the shaft of the car.  This is the rule when they are walking in the rivers and lakes and encounter a green forest hero who robs the road. They do not kill the driver.  The baggage Wu and Zhang had just seized from Xie Qian returned to its original owner in the blink of an eye.  By the way, the escort was compensated.  "You are here to clean up the battlefield. Brothers from the cavalry camp, follow me to Dongchang Mansion and fight those Erdazi!"
