Chapter 429
Tomorrow is going to rebel today, how can we repay our mother's glory to our ancestors? It is very possible to go to see our ancestors in advance. Fan Wencheng despises this Lord Hong Chengchou Hong from the bottom of his heart.
But this is Hong Chengchou's military camp, and his followers know without asking that they are already being taken into custody. They have even shown the bottom now. If they don't agree today...! Fan Wencheng feels that the possibility of sleeping underground is very high.
.
"I don't know what regulations Mr. Hong has. Please tell me and let Fan know the details." Fan Wencheng didn't tell the truth, but asked a question.
Hong Chengchou smiled and cursed an old fox in his heart. This is to find out what I am!
"What Mr. Zhou Ge means...!" After thinking about it for a while, Hong Chengchou finally told the whole plan.
************************************************************************ **********

Niangziguan was captured on October 5th, Shangdang was captured on October 11th. Xinzhou was captured on October 19th, and Taiyuan was captured on October 24th. October...!
Shi Kefa was very surprised at the speed of his attack. It was not like an attack timetable, but more like a marching timetable. When they went to the party, the Eight Banners soldiers resisted desperately, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides. But when they attacked Taiyuan, Hou Jin
The resistance of the army was already very weak. After only one day of siege, the Han army flags in the city were raised with white flags and surrendered.
The speed of the attack caught everyone by surprise. According to previous predictions, the Eight Banners soldiers would use all their strength to defend Shanxi. It would be good to capture Shanxi within half a year.
The continuous victories made Shi Kefa a little nervous. He even became more cautious in using troops. He was afraid that this was a conspiracy of the Jin Army. He had more than half of the possessions of the Jiangnan Forbidden Army. If something went wrong... the consequences would be disastrous.
When attacking Datong, Zhang Xianzhong became a vanguard officer. Idiots are cannon fodder, and this has been the case since ancient times. What Shi Kefa didn't expect was that the city of Datong surrendered without resistance. Moreover, Zhang Xianzhong was worthy of Shi Kefa and led his troops.
Entering Datong, the devastated Datong was robbed again. The robbery was so thorough that it would be no exaggeration to describe it as digging three feet.
After arriving here a year later, Zhang Xianzhong seemed very excited. He killed people when he was excited, and he couldn't stop killing people. The direct result was that Datong was turned from a relatively large city into a relatively large ruin.
When Shi Kefa arrived, he was faced with a city billowing with thick smoke. The people were howling like ghosts, and the city was covered with heads. Crows were circling in the sky, and jackals in the suburbs dared to wander around the city in broad daylight.
"Hiss...!" Shi Kefa felt his teeth sour. Looking at Zhang Xianzhong's charming face, he wanted to pull out his revolver and fire a fucking bullet.
This bastard, he turned Datong into ruins. But he really beat the name of the Nanjing Forbidden Army. Now the reputation of the Nanjing Forbidden Army is stink on the streets, just because this bastard killed the surrendered Han army flag soldiers. Think about it in the future
It will be extremely difficult to recruit Han soldiers to surrender. Trust is difficult to establish but very easy to destroy.
Seeing that Shangguan was displeased, the experienced Zhang Xianzhong immediately presented a pile of gold and silver jewelry with a smile on his face. Shi Kefa even found a few big gold teeth with blood among the gold and silver. Zhang Xianzhong also pointed outside to signal the big gold teeth.
The car is full of gifts for Lord Shangshu.
He was born as a small official, and his political methods were outrageous. But the clumsy method of giving money was the most effective. In the past two years, from the chief minister of the Yongli Dynasty of the Southern Ming Dynasty to the commander-in-chief of Henan Province, Jiang Tong
, all were ruthlessly knocked down by this clumsy method.
These big guys are very trustworthy when it comes to using people's money to eliminate disasters. Today's Shi Kefa has no way to deal with this bastard with a smile on his face and a strong backer. Besides, this bastard is very good at causing trouble.
"Commander! The next time there is a charge into battle, send your subordinates there. The subordinates will go through fire and water for the imperial court. From now on, if the commander has any dirty work, he will leave it to his subordinates. He must do it properly for the commander-in-chief.
Yes!" Zhang Xianzhong bowed with the most flattering smile and slapped his chest loudly, looking absolutely loyal.
After raising his foot twice, Shi Kefa could not bear to kick Zhang Xianzhong out.
"Thank you for your hard work! Get out!" Shi Kefa had a headache. He knew that Zhang Xianzhong was going to cause trouble. He had given so much to himself, how could he treat the big guys in the court badly? It was said that when he went on an expedition, there were many people in his army.
I brought a few bosses' stewards with me so that I could receive the benefits offered by Zhang Xianzhong at any time.
"Father, handsome!" As soon as Zhang Xianzhong walked out, Shi Dewei couldn't help it.
"Um……!"
"Such a person cannot be retained. The military discipline and reputation of our Nanjing Forbidden Army have been ruined by him. From now on, do we have to eat the cities in Shanxi one after another? If we don't kill this thief, it will not be enough to subdue the crowd!"
"My son, I don't think so. Do you know who is standing behind this piece of loyalty? The elders in the court, the ministers of the six departments. There are so many two-ranked Jinshi, and the moral scholars have all accepted his gift.
That bastard Zhang Xianzhong has become their rake for money. Destroying people's wealth is like killing their parents!
When our father and son are in power and have military power, of course these people dare not do anything to us. But how do you know that my historian will never make a mistake. If one day our father and son fall into a well, these people will laugh.
Throw stones at him. Don't expect Mr. Zhou Ge. Among those who throw stones at our men's heads, he must be among the first.
Dewei! The higher you get in this official position, the more frightened you become as a father. It is no exaggeration to say that you are walking on thin ice. We are not only good at planning for the country, we must also be good at planning for our lives."
Stewie looked at his father in surprise. Unknowingly, he noticed that his father's white hair on his temples was so dazzling. Is this still the father who was so high-spirited and dedicated to serving the country?
Shi Kefa relied heavily on Zhang Xianzhong, rewarded him heavily, and wrote a letter to the court to ask for credit for Zhang Xianzhong. The court's response was also very fast, and they did not use military couriers. Instead, they directly sent a five-hundred-mile expedited letter.
The letter of appointment appointed Zhang Xianzhong as the commander-in-chief of Taiyuan, but he was still under the control of Shi Kefa.
This can be regarded as having its own official territory, and Taiyuan is the capital of Shanxi and one of the nine important towns. The level of wealth is far beyond what a quasi-military city like Datong can compare with.
Zhang Xianzhong, who was highly excited, quickly received another military order from Shi Kefa and acted as the vanguard of the entire army to attack Xuanfu.
This was already regarded as Hebei's territory. Although he hesitated, Zhang Xianzhong decided to resolutely implement Shi Kefa's order. After he was promoted, he had to give some thanks to the big shots in the court. The money in his pocket was his own, and Zhang Xianzhong did not pay out of his own pocket.
Giving gifts is disgusting. If you want gifts, you can only ask the people in Xuanfu to help you solve the problem.
With the lessons learned from Datong, the resistance of the Hou Jin Army in Xuanfu was very tenacious. The miscellaneous men under Zhang Xianzhong were beaten to death under the desperate resistance of the Han Army Banner. In one morning, three large-scale charges were launched, but they were all repulsed.
After returning home, corpses were piled up under the Xuanfu city, with broken limbs and arms. It was too horrible to look at.
His men suffered heavy casualties, but Zhang Xianzhong didn't care much. The no-names were cannon fodder, which also applies to Zhang Xianzhong's army. Compared with Shi Kefa's direct descendant of the Nanjing Forbidden Army, Zhang Xianzhong was a no-name. The Qin soldiers brought by Zhang Xianzhong from Shaanxi were Zhang Xianzhong's.
Direct descendants. Those refugees recruited in Henan last year were Zhang Xianzhong’s miscellaneous children.
The refugees were being forced to die one after another, and there seemed to be a way to survive in the charge. If they did not obey Marshal Zhang's orders, those Qin soldiers would have raised their hands and slashed with their swords. These guys were far more experienced in killing their own people than the enemy.
When Shi Kefa rushed to Xuanfu with a large group of troops, he saw Zhang Xianzhong's men being slaughtered.
Zhang Xianzhong's face was streaked with black and white streaks, but in Shi Kefa's opinion, Zhang Xianzhong's face didn't look like it had been smoked, but more like it had been smeared on by himself. If he looked carefully, he actually still had fingerprints...!
"Commander! This Xuanfu is really difficult to fight. The weapons of the Later Jin Dynasty are sharp. Our weapons are scarce. Brothers, just rush forward...!" Zhang Xianzhong said, wiping his tears.
Shi Kefa glanced at it, then raised his binoculars to look at Xuanfu in the distance. The smell of gunpowder smoke on the battlefield could not cover up the smell of ginger on Zhang Xianzhong's sleeves.
Xuanfu is indeed an important town on nine sides. Although it is autumn at this time, the weather is still warm and not frozen. The moat is not only wide but also deep, and the water is cold in autumn, so it will definitely not be comfortable to be immersed in it.
From time to time, cannons were heard on the top of the city. Every time a cannon was fired, a column of smoke would rise from the ground, and then the sound of an explosion would be heard.
Every time there is an explosion, a soldier will be hit by hot shrapnel. You can't see the burst of blood, you can only see the person disappearing after the explosion. This scene is more tragic than fighting with cold weapons.
Shi Kefa shook his head. The battlefield is no longer what it was a few years ago. In just a few years, artillery has become the main force on the battlefield. The high-tech weapons of the past, firecrackers, have been reduced to melee weapons.
Three years ago, explosive bombs were a highly classified military secret, but now they are a common presence on the battlefield. I always think that the Tatars are barbarians, but now the weapons of the barbarians are no less than our own.
"Thank you, General Zhang, for your hard work. You don't have enough firearms. This defeat is really not your fault. Let your soldiers withdraw!" Shi Kefa knew very well about the tricks in the army. None of the soldiers on the battlefield had a firearm.
Gun. To put it bluntly, Zhang Xianzhong just wanted them to die. Then he told Shi Kefa that it was not that he didn't work hard, but that the enemy was too strong.
These days, who would use their own direct lineage as cannon fodder? I don’t want to mess around anymore!
"Commander Father! The weapons at the top of the city are very powerful, and the sound is even mortars. If we charge hard, the casualties will be huge." Shi Dewei also held a telescope and carefully observed Xuanfu City in the distance.
"The walls of Xuanfu are very thick. If our cannon wants to blast a gap, it will take a long time. It will consume a lot of shells!" Li Dingguo also put down his telescope.
Shi Kefa glanced at Li Dingguo, and attacked Shanxi this time. The ammunition supply from the Liao Army has been cut off, and the powerful Liao Army ammunition is missing one round. Now the ammunition for the Nanjing Forbidden Army is mainly supplied by the Jinling Arsenal.
The transportation from Nanjing to the front line is a long and mountainous journey. In particular, artillery shells are flammable and explosive. If one fails, the entire convoy will be scrapped, and the supply of ammunition is very difficult. Li Dingguo hit the point with one sentence, but Shi Kefa was not so
