Deqing was the closest Qing army to Luoding. Just like Xinhui was in Guangzhou, Deqing was also the gateway to Zhaoqing Prefecture, an important town in Guangdong. When Li Dingguo’s army first attacked Guangdong the year before, he was forced to join forces in Zhaoqing.

Knowing yourself and knowing your enemy can help you win a hundred battles.

If you want to win the attack of the Qing army in Deqing, you must first know how many Qing troops there are in the city of Deqing. For this reason, Zhou Shixiang and Boss Hu discussed and ordered Shao Jiugong to be framed, preparing to obtain all information about the Deqing Green Camp from this population.

After the people came over, Boss Hu was going to intimidate first, so that Shao Jiugong's dead pig would not be afraid of boiling water, but he didn't need to do anything. When he knew that the other party wanted to know the situation of Deqing Green Camp, Shao Jiugong poured the beans into the bamboo tube and he would know the situation. Fifty-one said.

According to his account, the man stationed in Deqing was Zhang Dade, a guard under Xu Erxian, the general of Zhaoqing. He was also called Zhang Mazi because his face was covered with pockmarks. He has a full battalion with a large number, as many as 500 people.

Kong Guoliang has a thousand generals with more than 400 soldiers, and Zhang Dade has only 500 soldiers?

Zhou Shixiang was a little confused, but after listening to Shao Jiugong's subsequent explanation, he came to understand that although the green battalion system is divided into four types: bid, cooperative, battalion, and flood season, the number of each battalion is not equal, and it is not a fixed number of soldiers. At least two or three hundred people, as many as six or seven hundred people. The battalion does not necessarily have more troops than the flood season. It still depends on the place where it is stationed. For example, the green battalion troops such as river channels and canal transportation are less than the combat troops.

Moreover, the Green Battalion is 100% of the original Ming army. Many Ming army generals changed their flags when the Qing army came, and turned their hair into the Green Battalion. Therefore, the soldiers under their command were very disordered. Coupled with the existence of the Yongli regime in Nanming, Jin Shengheng from Jiangxi, Li Chengdong from Guangdong, Jiang Cheng from Datong and others rebelled against the Qing Dynasty and returned to the Ming Dynasty. General, in the eighth year of Shunzhi, the rules were set down. All the surrendered Ming army will be converted into green camp, and their troops will not be reduced. What was an official in the Ming Dynasty is an official in the Qing Dynasty, and sometimes even rises. level one. As a result, the troops and horses of the Green Battalion became more and more chaotic, because the soldiers brought by the generals were different.

Zhang Dade was the garrison of Xu Erxian, the general of Zhaoqing, and Kong Guoliang was the Qian general of Kong Guozhi, the general of southern Jiangxi. The army and horse system of the army is definitely stronger than that of Kong Guozhi, but in fact there is not much difference between the two. They are both general soldiers, and the soldiers and horses under them are different. This is the situation where the garrison is almost inferior to a thousand generals.

"Old... Prince Li wants to beat Deqing?"

Shao Jiugong almost called Li Dingguo an old thief, but fortunately his brain turned fast, so he didn't cause himself any trouble. Until this meeting, he still did not suspect that Zhou Shixiang and the others were actually a gang of bandits and not the real Ming army, only that they were the Ming army under Li Dingguo who came from Gaozhou.

Zhou Shixiang shook his head and said, "It's not that the King of Xining wants to fight Deqing, but our Taiping Battalion wants to fight Deqing, or the Qing army in Deqing will come to fight us, so we want to fight them."

After listening to the tongue twister, Shao Jiugong was at a loss: Are you going to beat Zhang Mazi, or is Zhang Mazi going to beat you?

As for why the Taiping Battalion went to fight Deqing instead of Li Dingguo's army, he didn't think too much about it, because he thought that the Eight Achievements of the Taiping Battalion were the vanguards Li Dingguo sent to test the reaction of the Qing army.

Thinking of Deqing guarding Zhang Mazi, Shao Jiugong couldn't help but move. He had no way out. If he didn't join the Ming army in his life, he would have to fight the Ming army. In this case, it would be better to use Zhang Mazi. Stand firm, lest they be sidelined as cannon fodder.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but volunteered: "If you beat Deqing, the two generals might as well let Xiao take the lead. That Zhang Mazi suffered my losses twice, and Xiao has no other skills, but when he beat Zhang Mazi, he did not. It's effortless."

"you?"

Zhou Shixiang didn't suspect that Shao Jiugong had other thoughts, he just glanced at the other's back and smiled softly, "Are you hurt on your back?"

Hearing this, Shao Jiugong felt a pain in the flesh, but he gritted his teeth, tried to straighten his chest, and insisted: "A little skin injury, it will not be a problem, as long as you can make a contribution to the Ming Dynasty and drive the Tartars out of our Han territory, Even if it is small, it will be smashed to pieces!"

"How did Zhang Dade suffer from your losses?"

Zhou Shiguan cares not about Shao Jiugong volunteering, but about his ability to make Zhang Dade suffer.

This is Shao Jiugong's best deed in his life. I don't know how many times I have told people before, but now I have the opportunity to say it and show it off.

It turned out that when Shao Jiugong followed the Kong Guozhi brothers and Jin Shengheng to fight Jiangxi, Zhang Dade was a thousand generals of the Ming Army Guard in Jiangxi. On one occasion, Kong Guozhi was eager to make meritorious deeds and rushed forward alone, and as a result, he was ambushed by the Ming army. When escaping, he asked Shao Jiugong to lead the men to stop the Ming army, and Zhang Dade led the Ming army to chase after him.

Shao Jiugong was also scared to death at the time, but he didn't dare to disobey Kong Guozhi's orders. The silver and copper plates were taken out and thrown on the ground. In this way, Zhang Dade's men all went to pick up the silver and copper plates. How could they go after Shao Jiugong and the others? That's why Shao Jiugong came back with a life.

"This is the first time, what about the second time?"

Shao Jiugong's escape method made Zhou Shixiang and Boss Hu interesting, and they were all interested and urged him to continue.

Shao Jiugong swallowed his breath and said with a smile: "The second time, I still use this method, but this time I don't throw silver and copper plates."

"Oh, why didn't UU read www.uukanshu.com throw it away?" Zhou Shixiang and Boss Hu were a little surprised that such a good method was not used again yesterday.

Shao Jiugong smiled and said, "Zhang Mazi is not a fool. He suffered from my loss last time. If he sees me throwing silver and copper on the road this time, he will definitely not be fooled. So I deliberately did not throw it, but he believed that I really was. He was running away, and in the end, he drove me to death with his own soldiers, and finally I took him into the valley to lay an ambush, and almost captured him!"

It's psychological warfare...

The more Zhou Shixiang thought about it, the more interesting it became. Shao Jiugong, a veteran soldier, was quite a scheming man.

"Later, I don't know what happened yesterday, Zhang Mazi also surrendered to Tartar, and now he is on the garrison. When we passed by Deqing Road last time, he stood on the top of the city and looked at me arrogantly. I was so angry that my teeth were itchy..."

Thinking of the scene of passing Deqing with Kong Guoliang that day, Shao Jiugong could not wait to arrest Zhang Dade and scold him: "You defeated general still have the face to show me?" !

Since the publication of the work, I have been working hard to create, and I have not spent the same amount of money as other authors to write the book, so the results are too real, so the recommendation arrangement of the website may be weaker. Here, I would like to ask readers and friends who support this book (starting point members) to leave your mark on this book-spend two cents to like a chapter, so as to increase fans and let me know about the future of this book % of real subscribed audiences, thank you!

I still firmly believe that most readers and friends who love historical novels still prefer traditional time-travel works, rather than abilities, summons, and space going back and forth.
