Han’s Son is Not a Slave

Jiang Shuangxi was mixed after learning that the Governor-General of Guangzhou had transferred more than 2,000 battalions to him. (￥￥)! The joy is that these 2,000-odd battalions can strengthen the defense force of Zengcheng, but the worry is that these battalions are not battalions under the jurisdiction of Guangzhou Prefecture, but guest soldiers transferred from other prefectures. After these people arrived in Zengcheng, one by one They are all uncles, so how can you put him in the eyes of this little thousand boss.

Guest soldiers are the worst, but it is generally accepted by officials everywhere.

When Jiang Shuangxi led Nanhaiwei to the Qing Dynasty, there were more than 4,000 soldiers on the roster, but in the end, Shang Kexi only let him be the chief officer of Zengcheng, and he did not even give a guerrilla or garrison, and replaced it with other Ming troops. The general surrendered with so many subordinates, how could he be able to get a chief soldier and a lieutenant to work, how could it not work for him Jiang Shuangxi?

What's even more incomprehensible is that Jiang Shuangxi is very happy with his appointment as Zengcheng's thousand president, and he has no complaints about Shang Kexi. Why does this happen? In fact, there are more than 4,000 soldiers in the roster of soldiers reported by Jiang Shuangxi, but only more than 600 can be considered young and strong, and the rest are old, weak, sick and disabled. Stand up for yourself.

Shang Kexi is not stupid, he welcomes the Ming army who can fight over, such as the Ming army under Li Chengdong. But for Jiang Shuangxi's gang of guards who are inferior to the common people, King Pingnan is very **** him. As far as Jiang Shuangxi's more than 600 so-called young and strong people are, it is not bad that there are 100 soldiers who can be counted as soldiers in the end. With this strength, you still want to be the chief soldier or deputy general? It's a blessing for him not to give him a treat!

In the Battle of Yinping Mountain, Jiang Shuangxi had over 1,000 Zengcheng Green Battalion soldiers forced to force the Taiping Army to capture half of them. After that, the Taiping Army did not look down on these prisoners. Except for the dozens of fishermen who were sent to the water camp, the rest were all taken away. It was sent to the former cottage for farming and large-scale production.

Jiang Shuangxi didn't know that the Taiping army looked down on his subordinates, and he was really worried now. Now he only has more than 600 soldiers left, but there are more than 2,000 guest soldiers from Huizhou, Conghua and other places. The guest is stronger than the host. He can't show any confidence in Zengcheng, so how can he talk about restraint These foreign uncles? Moreover, the generals of the guest soldiers who were transferred are mostly in the rank of thousands of generals. Jiang Shuangxi has nothing to do with others, and it's a shame for people to listen to you.

If you want to blame him, if you want to blame Guangzhou, you have transferred the soldiers, but why do you have to promote Laozi, or what will Laozi use to pressure them?

Jiang Shuangxi complained very much that the people in the Governor's Mansion didn't give him a promotion.

........

Since the gang of foreign guest soldiers arrived in Zengcheng, not only the people of Zengcheng and Jiang Shuangxi were unlucky. Even Xu Yingyuan, the magistrate of Zengcheng, has been slaughtered for eight lifetimes, hiding in the county government office every day and scolding his mother. He didn't scold the mother of the guest soldiers. She was scolded as Jiang Shuangxi's mother—if it wasn't for your incompetence, Jiang Shuangxi, who ruined half of Zengcheng's green camp, could these uncles from other places be transferred to help guard them, and could they justifiably harm the officials and the common people!

Xu Yingyuan is a native of Xin'an County. He was the first township examination held by the short-lived Shaozheng regime in Guangdong, and he was also a candidate in the last township examination. After the central election, the Qing army occupied Guangzhou before Shaowu's regime opened its favor. Emperor Shaowu committed suicide and died for his country, bringing down the Nanming regime, which only occupied a small area of ​​Guangdong.

The emperor is dead, the court is gone, but Xu Yingyuan's identity is still there. The Qing army did not recognize Emperor Shaowu, but admitted the status of the **** in this township examination, so they were very appeasement and win over the **** in this session. Xu Yingyuan didn't want to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, but he saw that the same year people who were in the same year all went to Guangzhou to seek officials of the Qing court. There are really a few magistrates who were sent to the outside world, and even one was sent to Fujian as a magistrate, and the newly appointed prefect of Guangzhou in the Qing court was also a magistrate. All this made Xu Yingyuan jealous. What did he study hard for ten years? It's not just four words of fame and fortune!

Xu Yingyuan took the initiative to report to the Guangdong Administrative Envoy Division in Guangzhou. After two years as a minor official, he was transferred to Dangcheng County, Zengcheng.

Both Xinji County and Zengcheng County belong to Guangzhou Prefecture. Therefore, after Xu Yingyuan became the magistrate of Zengcheng, he was very kind to the people, and his official reputation was quite good. Seeing a group of foreign guest soldiers in the city, they even ransacked several villages in the countryside. Xu Yingyuan's heart was heavy. Very, very angry, but he not only reported to the Guangzhou government the Zengcheng guest soldiers for disaster. But nothing can be done. This year is not the time when writing is the most important thing. All the officials have to hold Qiu Ba with a knife in his hand. Where can there be a case where a magistrate dares to kidnap and kill a general.

The more he couldn't bear to see the people of Zengcheng being harassed by the guest soldiers, the more Xu Yingyuan hated the incompetent Jiang Shuangxi, and even swept the floor regardless of the gentleness.

........

Xu Yingyuan hid in the county office and scolded his mother, but Jiang Shuangxi was very generous and ignored it at all. The servants were angry but went to the county office to find Xu Yingyuan to settle accounts. Noble, how can you **** be insulted?

The reason why Jiang Shuangxi is so generous is because what he does every day is basically the same as Xu Yingyuan - he hides in the house and curses his mother.

Jiang Shuangxi didn't scold Xu Yingyuan, nor the gang of guest soldiers from out of town, nor did he scold the Taiping Army who made him suffer a big loss, but Ma Yulong, who was a good character. You Ma Yulong didn't send anyone to the Guangzhou News. News, what are you sending people to run to me!

In addition to scolding Ma Yulong's mother every day, all Jiang Shuangxi can do is to smile every day and play Pai Gow with the gang of guest generals, drink alcohol, and spend a lot of time serving these uncles, so that these uncles will not be happy and live in the city. In the end, the black cauldron had to be carried by President Jiang Qian.

At first, I was worried for a few days, but later there was no sign of the Taiping army coming over, so Jiang Shuangxi gradually fell back into his stomach, thinking that the Taiping army really wanted to rush to Zengcheng, and they had to pass through Panyu first. After passing through the territory, how could Guangzhou not be disturbed by this, I am afraid that the Taiping army had not yet reached Zengcheng, and was stopped by the Qing army in Guangzhou halfway. Besides, they don't plan to provoke them anymore, so they can't still bite Lao Tzu and don't let go, can they?

After thinking about it, Jiang Shuangxi was very happy every day, and the fat that had lost weight a few days ago slowly grew back.

........

Zengcheng County originally belonged to Nanhai County in the Han Dynasty. Because Nanhai County originally governed 6 counties, a new county was established and one more city was added, so it was called "Zengcheng". In the Song Dynasty, it was changed to Panyu County. After Hongwu, because Guangzhou Fucheng was in charge of Panyu County and Nanhai County, Zengcheng County was re-established.

The county seat of Zengcheng is located in Wuhuo Town, which originally belonged to the Dongguan Shouyu Thousand Households established during the Wanli period. It is bordered by Xiangshan County, Panyu County and Xin'an County. Seventy or eighty miles away. (Author's Note: Guangzhou Prefecture in the late Ming Dynasty is very different from the current Guangdong counties and cities. Readers may feel that the geography is confusing. This Guangdong geography is subject to the jurisdiction of the Guangdong Chengbao Political Envoy Division. If there are any mistakes, please refer to It is unavoidable, if it does not affect the overall situation, please do not compare.)

The next day after Zhou Shixiang decided to attack Zengcheng in the military commander's mansion. He immediately led Shao Jiugong's personal battalion and Shao Chengguo's cavalry battalion to the left camp of the infantry army, and at the same time ordered the right battalion of the infantry army in Liangzi Township to prepare for reinforcements. Qi Hao's artillery battalion chose some light bronze cannons and tiger squat cannons and also went to the left camp of the infantry to stand by. After receiving the order, Zhao Sihai's baggage battalion also quickly moved to Liangzi Township from Longyan Township, and after the departure of the infantry left battalion, it advanced to Zengcheng.

The Taiping army set off on March 12. In order to avoid the eyes and ears of the Qing army in Panyu County, the infantry right battalion dispatched a brigade to pretend to attack Guangzhou, blocking traffic in various places along the way, and set up checkpoints to prevent leakage of information. At the same time, the Taiping army that attacked Panyu marched towards Zhiwuhuo Town in Zengcheng County through Jinshan, Yonghe, Fushan, Dahan and other villages and towns. On this march, the Taiping Army found that there were very few people along the way. All the people who ran into them on the road were also temporarily housed and released after returning to the army.

The cavalry battalion, which was the outpost of the entire army, had already arrived at Xiaoqiu Village, which is less than ten miles away from Zhiwuhuo Town, Zengcheng County. However, when they arrived, they found that the village was like a wasteland. Occasionally, the corpses of villagers can be found in the rubble, and there are various signs. The village was looted and massacred not long ago.

Whoever looted them and who slaughtered them, there is no outsider except the Qing army.

After the infantry left battalion arrived at Xiaoqiu Village, the soldiers in the battalion couldn't bear to look directly at the tragic situation in Xiaoqiu Village. The soldiers from the Green Battalion and the Han army flag descending soldiers thought of what they had done in the Qing army in the past. Guilt too.

An army envoy Lu Gongyuan, who was in charge of the work of the infantry's left battalion, saw this, and after asking the battalion officer Ge Yi for instructions, he used half a day to organize a meeting in the whole battalion to denounce the evil deeds of the Qing army. In the afternoon, Zhou Shixiang arrived at Xiaoqiu Village and was very satisfied with the meeting organized by Lu Gongyuan, and then issued an attack order.

Shao Chengguo's cavalry battalion took the lead in attacking as the forward, and Ge Yi's infantry left battalion selected the brigade with the most veterans as the main force in the siege.

The battle began at dusk. As a result, the Taiping army was overjoyed. It was not until the cavalry battalion rushed into Zengcheng, where the gate opened, that the green battalion garrisoned in the city knew that the Taiping army had come.

Shao Chengguo led the forty-odd cavalry straight to the city gate, but the green camp at the city gate actually thought that it was the Han army flag soldiers from Guangzhou, because in their consciousness, only those Han army flag uncles who had been promoted by the returning vassal kings had it. Horses can be ridden, and only this group of flag soldiers can be so arrogant and arrogant.

In fact, in order to confuse the Qing army in order to quickly seize the city gate, Shao Chengguo and his subordinates all wore the captured uniforms of the flag soldiers, which made the Green Battalion soldiers who were afraid of the flag soldiers have no defense at all, and did not open their mouths to shout and question.

When Shao Chengguo and the others rushed to the gate of the city, they still did not slow down their horses, but cut down the long swords in their hands straight at them. Only then did a group of green battalion soldiers at the gate of the city know that it was not the people from the Han army flag, but the Ming army!

"The Ming army is here, the Ming army is here!"

In an instant, the cry of "Ming army is coming" resounded throughout the city, and after dozens of seconds, the city was full of chickens and dogs.

According to the information of the Ministry of Military Intelligence in advance, in addition to the incompetent waste of more than 600 soldiers under Jiang Shuangxi, Zengcheng Green Camp also recruited more than 2,000 foreign soldiers, so Zhou Shixiang thought that the Taiping army would definitely be counterattacked by the Qing army after entering the city, but the fact However, as the cries of "Ming army are coming" spread to every corner of the city, the officers of the green battalions in other places who should have organized their subordinates to resist immediately chose to lead people to escape.

The guest soldiers will not fight to the death for the sake of outsiders and the Taiping army. Even if there are generals who want to resist, but their colleagues are running, their own men must also run.

There was chaos in the city, and the green battalion soldiers who were chopped down by the Taiping Army were screaming and screaming. The infantry left battalion followed the cavalry battalion and rushed into the city. Zhou Shixiang also asked Shao Jiugong to lead his personal battalion into the city to seize the green camp grain depot in the city and occupied the county government office, so as to prevent the Qing army from setting fire to the grain and looting the county government office.

Jiang Shuangxi, who had been drinking at noon, was stupefied by his subordinates to run out, but was stopped by the Taiping Army halfway. In an instant, President Jiang Qian's drinking spirit was completely awakened. Seeing that the Taiping army was about to rush up to kill them, Jiang Shuangxi wanted to run back in a hurry, but he was so fat that he was out of breath after only a few steps. Seeing that the situation was over, a group of housekeepers had to pile on their masters to flee for their own lives. Jiang Shuangxi was so angry that they cursed, and then they were held down to death by the Taiping army that rushed up.

"Fuck, he's so fat, he must be an official, tie it up and ask the master for credit!"

A small banner of the Taiping Army, who was born in the Han army, saw that Jiang Shuangxi was like a fat pig, and knew that this guy must be an official.

The battalion was successful, and the green battalion in the city was vulnerable, similar to a gang of rabble. Zhou Shixiang was very happy. Originally, he had prepared hundreds of ladders and chariots to attack the city. Fortunately, it is not used, otherwise there will definitely be casualties.

In less than half an hour, the Taiping army took control of the whole city. Zhou Shixiang ordered Shao Chengguo to lead the cavalry battalion to hunt down those battalions who had escaped from the city, and Ge Yi led the infantry left battalion to take over the city defense, guard the prisoners, clean up the corpses, count the profits and maintain law and order in the city. The personal battalion immediately sealed the granary and waited for the transport battalion.

Chasing and killing the cavalry battalion of the Qing army that escaped from the city has made a lot of gains. Many Qing soldiers have hidden the property they looted after they arrived in Zengcheng. . However, the Taiping Army has a public treasury system, and all those captured in the army will be handed over to the public treasury~www.NovelMTL.com~ and then rewarded according to military merit.

This system can avoid the rapid corruption of the Taiping army and maintain its combat effectiveness. In order to prevent those recruits, especially the former Han army flag soldiers and green battalion soldiers from hiding money, Zhou Shixiang set strict military discipline, and the soldiers must supervise each other. Tibetans will all be beheaded, and there will be no mercy.

Under such a strict order, there are still people who dare to hide their belongings. After all, there is never a shortage of daring people in this world, especially those Qing soldiers who used to rob and kill in the past, but they are also very rare. . Even if those who hid were not discovered on the spot, they would be discovered sooner or later, because they were in the Taiping army, and it was very difficult to keep secrets in the group unless they escaped.

Xu Yingyuan, the magistrate of Zengcheng appointed by the Qing court, was found in the backyard of the county government, and two young women of eighteen years of age were found together with him.

There have been several Qing Dynasty magistrates who died at the hands of the Taiping Army before and after, Huang Zhizheng of Xinhui, Qin Ming of Gaoyao, Sun Youzheng of Xiangshan, and Zhou Shixiang did not care about the addition of Xu Yingyuan of Zengcheng.

But he misunderstood Xu Yingyuan. After being escorted to Zhou Shixiang with the two girls, Xu Yingyuan opened his mouth and said, "The general is spared, the subordinate is willing to surrender, willing to surrender!" (To be continued.)
