Beiyang new warlord

"Rebellion? Of course not!"

This crime is not just memorized, Mao Jue immediately shook his head like a rattle drum, his palm was attached to his heart, wishing to show his heart to the bright moon to prove his loyalty to the Zhu family dynasty, Mao Jue is just Awe-inspiring, said righteously.

"On the contrary, uncle, this boy is loyal to the court again!"

Shen Guangzuo was stunned by his expression, and it took him a while to realize that he slapped Mao Jue on the forehead again in annoyance.

"Fart! Do you think I'm old and confused? Even if you took down Hangzhou City for revenge, this old man understands! How can you be loyal if you raise troops to fight against the imperial army?"

Before, he was worried about Mao Jue and told him to run quickly, but now after listening to him analyze the enemy and us, Shen Guangzuo began to worry about the assembled imperial army.Not yet to the point of resignation, Mao Jue wiped his face with his sleeve sadly before clenching his fist helplessly.

"Uncle! You Jiangnan people are too comfortable!"

"Tianzi Shengming, what happened to us Anyi?"

Old man Shen couldn't help rolling his eyes, but the audible Mao Jue shook his head heavily.

"Born in sorrow, died in peace! I don't need to tell you this truth? During the Jiajing period, the Japanese riots in the southeast were frequent, and the people were also killed and injured. Everyone was so angry that they had the money to contribute money, and they were able to contribute. How many families of literati died in battle, and scholars did not avoid death, and everyone cared about state affairs, this was the reason for the prosperity in the early years of Wanli, so that Emperor Wanli did not come to the court for 30 years, and my Ming Dynasty could survive."

"But in the past few decades, look at how these scholars have degenerated. Those who wear women's clothes are all scholars! They are either playing for fun, or they are like Wu Xun, who are full of fighting for power and gain, in order to gain fame For the sake of being jealous, he actually laid his hands on me, a great general in Liaodong, who is in charge of border control. He never thought about it, if I die, will it have any impact on the court's war situation? Or does he not care at all?"

"The literati are the pillars of the Ming Dynasty. The officials of the court mostly come from the southeast. They are all ambitious people who are motivated by interests. Can the Ming Dynasty not be in danger?"

Patting his chest, Mao Jue turned over and asked Shen Guangzuo, who was speechless, and did not give the old guy time to think again, Mao Jue waved his hand out of the window proudly.

"I, Mao Jue, will be the angry-eyed King Kong! I just want to defeat these southeast tofu soldiers in front of me, so that the Jiangnan family can re-recognize the danger and feel the pain! Only then can they be reborn and wake up after being beaten!"

The mighty body trembled, and the arrogance burst out! Even if Shen Guangzuo is a celebrity in Hangzhou, he should bow down under his trouser legs, right?However, Mao Jue felt good about himself for a long time, but what he received was a slap in the face.

"Fart, you kid just want to kill Songjiang and kill the Wu family!"

My uncle is really not stupid, rubbing his forehead, facing the old guy's bearded and staring face, Mao Jue rubbed his forehead sadly and smiled resentfully.

"This, uh, this, is part of the reason, but the main reason is to be loyal to the country! Uncle!"

"Forget it, the crooked old man can't talk to you, you can figure it out! Just remember, you are not carrying your own life now, but also the lives of more than 300 members of the Chen family and my Shen family. Don't play too much !"

Shaking his head helplessly, he turned around with his hands behind his back and walked out of the door. At the door, Shen Guangzuo suddenly looked at the dark coastline again, and sighed meaningfully.

"This Jiangnan family, it's time to beat it!"

Chapter 198. The Ming Army and the Ming Army

I remember a joke in later generations, when I became ruthless, I even killed my teammates! Now Mao Jue has definitely reached this level of ruthlessness, even if the opponent is also the Ming army, he will kill him!

The development of Ming Dynasty presents an English number M shape. The first peak of development was the rule of Renxuan after Yongle. It experienced the bloody war of unification, the cruelty of the Jingnan battle, the glory of the seven voyages to the West, and the heroism of the five expeditions to Mobei. The scholars of Ming Dynasty began to settle down. At that time, the politics were clear and the laws were strict, and the family landlords were not as lawless as they are now.

The second prosperous age can be regarded as the dreamlike era in the early Wanli period. Perhaps it was the Japanese invasion during the Jiajing and Longqing years. The relationship between the scholar-bureaucrat class and the lower class of civilians was eased, social conflicts were not so sharp, and the people could still live and work in peace and contentment. .

But with the continuation of stability, the descendants of the aristocratic families in the Xinsheng area, Jiangnan scholars have become more and more defiant, arrogant, politically selfish, party disputes continue, local lawlessness, free to kill tenants and slaves on the merged land Xin, what happened to Qinniang is just a microcosm, and the social conflicts have become acute to the extreme.

Hope this time it wakes up some people!

Mao Jue's three-month vacation is over. I hope Mao Wenlong won't deduct his salary.Looking through the binoculars, the city of Hangzhou in May should have been lush and full of rice on the outer plains, but at this time it was trampled by pairs of footsteps, and the flags with bright characters were swaying like flames flying red. Although the footsteps were messy, the crowd was thick and invisible. Since the fall of Hangzhou, a large team of officers and soldiers gathered reinforcements from all walks of the south of the Yangtze River, and finally swore their troops in Haining and crushed under the city of Hangzhou.

It's just that unlike the Japanese pirates who left after fighting, this time the pirates didn't seem to want to spit out the fat at all, and actually put on a defensive formation.

Moreover, the Japanese pirates did not choose to defend the city wall of Hangzhou, but pushed out and set up a battle in Dinglan Town next to Qinglong Mountain under the city of Hangzhou.

Typical Jiangnan towns, green bricks and green tiles, narrow alleyways, and criss-crossing water networks. Pirates set up barricades between the alleyways, and archers hid between the streets. The complex terrain made this battle difficult. The field is tough.

Although he is the leader of the pirates, deep down, Mao Jue actually hopes that the Ming army can win. After all, these people are his real allies. Those who fight together, if they are stronger, they will be safer.

"Tsk tsk, there are quite a lot of people!"

His identity was too sensitive, Mao Jue still did not appear on the battlefield in person, but set up a field tent on Xiaoshan, more than ten miles away from the battlefield. , he was patrolling the front line back and forth.

The Ming army came with more troops than he expected, about [-] to [-]. No wonder, the Ming army itself knew that the Qi family army was dead. Today's military equipment in the south of the Yangtze River is not as good as that in the early period of the Anti-Japanese War during the Jiajing period. It is not several times People and horses, they dare not come to trouble the Japanese pirates in Hangzhou City.After all, the scale of the Japanese pirates has already caught up with the battle of Taizhou. Without several times the strength, the Ming army dare not fight at all.

It's just that most of the 5 people are infantry, and there are only more than 1000 cavalry. They hang pitifully under the big formation like a piece of tofu cut out of a large plate.

On the army formation, the Ming army was even more imposing. After all, the Japanese pirates, a group of amateur bandits made up all kinds of rags and clothes. Recently, they robbed Hangzhou City. The silk gowns of the Ming people, as awkward as they are, look like local armed guerrillas.

In contrast, although the Ming army was poor and their military equipment was slack, at any rate everyone was equipped with battle robes, with leather armor or paper armor on the chest and back, and a large tiger-head shield at the front, which looked energetic. It is the government army.

Did Qi Jiguang leave something behind? It was a densely packed wolf cage on the shield. The striker and the infantry rushed to the front holding the tiger squat cannon and set up a series of small cannons. This formation is quite similar to Qi Jiguang's mandarin duck formation back then. Somewhat similar.

The entire army formation was several miles long, with a width of more than ten rows. There were many swords and guns, and the flags were flying.

After all, it is a country of etiquette, and some nonsense must be said before the battle. In the Ming army formation, an official who looked like a clerk rode to the front of the two armies and raised his voice loudly.

What he is yelling about is nothing more than some overseas thieves who invade our territory, and those who are sensible should get out of here quickly.The Japanese pirates also had a leisurely heart, and unexpectedly sent a guy who looked like a monk, and he also spoke a lot of Japanese.

That scene was like a chicken talking to a duck, and no one could understand who. Fortunately, everyone knew that this was a nonsense session. After each finished speaking, they returned to their respective military formations.

I don't know if it was the order from the Zhejiang General Soldier or the Zhejiang Governor. The huge army formed into one body flowed like mercury. First of all, it was the Tiger Squat Artillery Team. More than 150 small cannons were first held by hundreds of people. He rushed forward and rushed to the front of Dinglan Town more than 300 meters away. Then, a series of artillery roars roared in front of the town.

Even though the Tiger Crouching Cannon is small, it is also a cannon! Cannonballs the size of pills rained down on the town of Dinglan. Amidst the clattering sound, the blue bricks and tiles shattered into countless pieces and fell down. The slabs of the cast wall were hit Transparent, with a bang, wooden thorns splashed, and the wall tilted instantly. In a short period of time, the originally clean Jiangnan town was riddled with holes.

However, this scene looked fierce, but Mao Jue shook his head straight. This also bullied the Japanese pirates who lacked cavalry and artillery.

Moreover, the power of the tiger squatting cannon is still too small. This burst of shelling looks ferocious, but it actually messed up the roof a little bit, and it is not too lethal to the Japanese pirates hiding inside. The streets are about to collapse, even a six-pound eagle cannon can be shaky, and it seems that it is imminent to upgrade the tiger crouching cannon.

While thinking, the bombardment stopped for four or five minutes, and the roaring stopped. Immediately afterwards, the Ming army holding the tiger card finally started to charge. There should be more than 5 small teams that broke away from the big team like a torrent, and headed straight to the big team. He rushed to the main street of Dinglan Town, but after seeing this scene, Mao Jue didn't want to watch it anymore. He put the binoculars aside, sat down on the chair, uncorked the wine he brought, and took a sip.

On the battlefield, the battle was still going on. Along the Santiao Street of Dinglan Town, these Yuanyang squads rushed in impatiently, but the formation was well configured, but there was no training at all. Without realizing it at all, I ran straight to the Japanese pirate barricades that were more than ten meters behind.

Indeed, this barricade can be regarded as a weak point. There are only three or four Japanese pirates in each barricade holding Japanese swords and screaming there. The houses that had been covered up suddenly appeared densely packed with musketeers. Many East China Sea pirates were doing business at sea while robbing. The artillery equipment was small, but the muskets were sufficient. The Japanese-style heavy iron cannon, the caliber It was twice as wide as the Ming army's blunderbuss. Before the untrained Ming army's musketeers could react, the gunshots behind them had already slammed into the back of the Xu army. Lie down directly.

The street is in the shape of a well. Before the tiger brand wolf spearmen of the Ming army arrived, a dense army of pirates and pirates ran out at the corner of the street. The wolf whisk was three meters long when it came into use, but the bamboo pole was more than five meters long, which happened to be long enough to fit on the tiger badge of the Ming army. These land farming soldiers were too lacking in training, and they were actually inferior to these dwarfs in physical strength, so they were defeated. Staggering to and fro, the ronin holding up his long sword and the pirate ghosts rushed into the formation, if the Qi family army was there, even if it was a desperate bloody battle, they would beat out the Japanese pirates who rushed in, but these southern troops did not have this at all. will to fight.

This is how the retreat begins.

Standing outside the formation, watching the Santiao Street officers throwing away their helmets and armor, crying and fleeing, the outer formation of the officers and troops was obviously in a hurry. The typical civilian command, no matter who they are or not, there is another burst of dense The tiger crouching cannon bombarded, and in the smoke all over the sky, some Japanese pirates were indeed killed and injured. However, the retreating army troops probably suffered more casualties. Under the roar of artillery fire, the remaining hundreds of people retreated in embarrassment like lost souls. This formation.

Still a typical civilian command, this first wave of fiasco not only did not sum up the experience, but killed a dozen or so deserters who took the lead in retreating, and then the second attack echelon of more than 2000 people once again shouted and attacked the city wall .

Seeing this scene, Mao Jue didn't even have any interest in sitting there. Even Pang Pang Hai, who was full of interest to pick up the telescope, and Mao Li shook their heads, it was too stupid!

He looked up and saw that it was still early, and yawned. Mao Jue simply waved his hand and asked the soldiers to roll up the things and stuff them into the saddlebags, and went home. This battle is really not worth watching. !

Hundreds of riders galloped down the small path of Xiaoshan. On the opposite side of the Qiantang River, huge roars and screams of disintegration came in disorder. A pile of corpses lay at the entrance of the alley. Dozens of Japanese and fake Han people The ghost warrior held his sword high, his eyes widened, and he screamed excitedly.But facing them, the officers and soldiers could only run away crying and screaming heart-piercingly, and no one dared to turn back.

The military equipment of the Ming Dynasty was slack and festered. The Southern Army warriors who followed Zhu Yuanzhang and dared to fight to the death with the Mongolian and Yuan iron cavalry could no longer be seen.

Chapter 199. Blood-stained Qiantang

The Battle of Hangzhou seemed to be dragged on for as long as the Battle of Cengang. On the first day, several rounds of attacks were put in, all of which were lost in the small town of Dinglan, with thousands of casualties that day.
