Chapter 98: Zhao Ming's Advice
Suddenly, a horrifying news came out on the south bank of the Fuchun River. A team of Eight Banners who had escaped the net killed all the people in a village and snatched away all the food.
When the gentry from several counties in Nan'an heard about this, they became scared and worried that the group of fish that had missed the net would break into several houses one day.
So, the gentry paid money and the people worked hard to organize the village tyrants to protect their own safety.
When the Ming soldiers learned that more than a dozen Eight Banner soldiers were on the south bank, they were all tense and dared not relax.
Among the hills on the south bank, village warriors patrolled day and night. Zhao Ming organized his subordinates to search all over the mountains and fields, driving more than a dozen Eight Banner soldiers from east to west, and then from west to east, forcing the Eight Banner soldiers to flee in panic and regretting coming to the south bank.
The Ming soldiers were running in the mountains and forests, and they still needed to be on guard against the Qing army's ambush, and they were all very tired.
After a long time, Li Zhongming and others understood that Zhao Ming was trying torture them. Wang Dana was lying in the woods, gasping heavily, and couldn't help but complain: "General, there are only a few Jiannu left. You solved it alone. Why do you come and go? You just don't kill them? Isn't this trouble?"
After a few days of joint defense pursuit, more than a dozen Qing troops have been beaten to death by militia.
The wealth of the gentry and landlords is related to their vital interests and their safety in life. They are willing to spend money. They have equipped the village warriors of the militia with a lot of good things and even got bird guns.
The militia was initially afraid of the single Eight Banners, but as they poked the first Eight Banners to death with a hoe and a fork, and carried the corpse to show the public, the atmosphere was ignited, and they were no longer afraid, and even began to take the initiative to go into the forest to catch people.
"Get up!" Zhao Ming kicked the fat man, and then said proudly: "You know, this is called the silver carp effect. As long as these Jiannu are on the south bank, you will have to open your eyes when sleeping, and the soldiers and civilians on the south bank will not relax. Jiannu on the north bank will not be so easy to hit him."
The defense of the river is too long, and there are too many places to defend. There is a huge gap between the Ming army and the Eight Banners soldiers. Zhao Ming was really unsure of the defense of the river, so he wanted to mobilize the people on the south bank.
He did this and there was some effect. Most of the dozen Eight Banners soldiers died under shoulder poles and hoes under the encirclement of the people. The patrolling village warriors frequently appeared on the south bank of the Fuchun River. They not only helped to inspect the river defense, but also gave the Qing army the illusion that the Ming army had a large number of troops.
At this time, as soon as everyone took a breath, a gun sounded another shot from the forest in the distance. Zhao Ming quickly kicked a few people and scolded angrily: "I discovered it again! I'll chase you!"
Zhao Ming led everyone to join the pursuit. The three tortured Eight Banners soldiers were shot dead. The last one fled to the Fuchun River, looked at the wide river, knelt on the rock, and actually started crying.
"Hey, that grandson was forced to cry by us!" Ruan Mei said in surprise.
Li Zhongming said: "So many people rush to block and drive them away for a few days and nights. Alah was already crazy!"
Wang Dana smashed his mouth, he glanced at Zhao Ming quietly and whispered: "This big man Zhao is so cruel. Have you seen Jiannu cry? The Eight Banners, who are so fierce and evil, were actually forced to this point..."
In everyone's impression, the Eight Banners soldiers are all wild beasts, and they can fight ten with one and be fearless and fearless.
Now that they saw the Eight Banners soldiers who were forced into a dead end, they would even cry. The original Eight Banners image in everyone's heart collapsed, and suddenly they felt that the Eight Banners were actually just like that.
Many people had gathered behind the Eight Banners soldier. Everyone stood in the woods and did not step forward. They just watched him cry until the end of the day.
The desperate Eight Banners soldier looked at the river and knew that he could not go back and did not want to be tortured by the Ming army again. When he was mentally broken, he stabbed himself with a knife. His blood was gone, his crying stopped, and his sinful life ended.
At this time, Zhao Ming said, "He is dead! Wang Da, please deal with it!"
Wang Dana said: "Why is Allah?"
Zhao Ming raised his eyebrows, "You are the best. Now you can see Jiannu's corpse more often. If you go to the battlefield in the future, you will not be afraid of Jiannu!"
...
It was October, and the Duodou army on the north bank had not attacked, and the two sides of the Fuchun River entered a stubborn attitude.
The calm situation between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait made the Ming army breathe a sigh of relief, and the troops gradually relaxed and settled in the status quo.
Now the Qing army occupies the north, Hubei, northern Jiangxi, as well as southern Zhili and northern Zhejiang. The population, economy and material resources are better than eastern Zhejiang, and the world's momentum is 70%.
The current confrontation is obviously only temporary, and the situation between the Ming and Qing dynasties and the Qing dynasties has not changed.
Seeing this, Zhao Ming immediately decided to give advice.
On that day, Zhu Yihai heard that Zhao Ming was asking for a meeting and hurriedly summoned him to the tent.
As soon as Zhao Ming picked up the curtain, Zhu Yihai came up with a smile and gave him great courtesy. "Boan, you only used more than ten Jiannu, mobilized tens of thousands of militia groups to help the orphan king, making the Jiang Fang stable, which is a great contribution!"
After Zhao Ming entered the tent, he saluted Zhu Yihai and said seriously: "Your Highness, although the army temporarily blocked the Qing army on the north bank at this time, in the long run, eastern Zhejiang is still dangerous, so you must not be careless!"
Zhu Yihai frowned slightly, first gave Zhao Ming a seat, and then asked, "What does this mean by your family?"
Zhao Ming said: "Your Highness, now Jiannu occupied the north and also had a wealthy land in the south of the Yangtze River. He had strong troops and sufficient money, and his strength was far better than eastern Zhejiang. Now that Duoduo has not crossed the river, it is not a corner of eastern Zhejiang that can compete with the Qing army. In fact, Duoduo is not ready and is also afraid of fried bags. As time goes by, Duoduo must be preparing for crossing the river, and the fried bags are not complicated. I expected that the Qing army would be able to build them soon. If the Qing army forced the crossing again, can Your Highness resist?"
After Zhao Ming finished speaking, he frowned slightly. How could I be so literary?
Zhu Yihai was silent for a moment, and the calm on both sides of the Fuchun River once gave him the illusion that the Zhejiang soldiers could fight against the Qing army.
Now that I think about it carefully, I know that the Ming army can defend the Jiangfang. The one I hold is actually a pack of explosives. But Zhao Ming said that the Qing army will be able to make this thing soon. That means that if the Ming army will lose this reliance, can the Jiangfang still defend it?
Zhu Yihai's face darkened, and then he looked at Zhao Ming seriously, "Your family will come today, and there must be a plan orphan!"
One of the most important qualities of a monarch is that he is good at accepting words.
Zhao Ming added a point to Zhu Yihai in his heart, and couldn't help but sit upright, then quickly got into the role, and bowed like a minister very professionally, "Your Highness, the Qing army is now in great power, and if Zhejiang East wants to resist the Qing army, it must have two internal and external strategies!"
Zhu Yihai sat upright and raised his hand and said, "Your family will tell you, I will listen carefully!"
"The internal strategy is to ban party struggles, abandon the idea of the door, recruit the righteous men of the anti-Qing Dynasty, and take advantage of the Qing army's failure to cross the border, and seize the time to recruit and train troops and cast weapons!" Zhao Ming said.
Zhu Yihai nodded slightly, "It is in line with his own will. Since Wanli, the party has fought to harm the country, the two capitals have fallen, and the two emperors have suffered the sorrow! Now the leader of Donglin surrenders to the captive party, Ma Shiying, the leader of the eunuch party, died in Fuyang, and the two parties have died. As long as the rest of the fight against the Qing Dynasty, the other ones will not pursue the investigation, and they can be appointed. As for training troops and casting equipment, the family may not know that there is no silver in the treasury, and the king of the orphans cannot even give out the silver to reward the meritorious soldiers. Don't mention recruiting new soldiers, training the army, and adding equipment!"
The Lujian small court was established for only a few months, and most of the troops loyal to the Lu King raised money and food with the enthusiasm of the Qing Dynasty.
Zhao Ming said: "Your Highness, east Zhejiang is located on the front line of the anti-Qing Dynasty. It is indeed not easy to train troops by relying on its own to raise troops! Therefore, the foreign strategy is to hope that your Highness can unite with Fujian, so that the pressure caused by the Qing army can be shared, and the Qing army can be avoided being defeated by each of them. Secondly, it can obtain material and food support from Fujian. Thirdly, it can cooperate with Fujian and earn money from the sea! The internal strategy is to consolidate the foundation and strengthen itself, so that Zhejiang has the capital to fight with the Qing army. The foreign strategy is to connect foreign aid and establish a united front against the Qing Dynasty! "
When Zhu Yihai heard that he was going to join Fujian, his face darkened. He suddenly stood up and turned his back to Zhao Ming, without saying a word for a while.
