Chapter 6 Lanlan Arranging Troops
Returning to Shidong, Qin Liangyu called his son Ma Xianglin and put Shidong on guard. At the same time, he ordered his brother Minping to take Bangping's two sons Yiming and Gongming to recruit 5,000 Tujia soldiers and Han people.
There are five thousand soldiers, ready to listen at any time.
In order to train his daughter and future son-in-law, 5,000 Han soldiers were specially given to Ma Lanlan for training, assisted by Yang Zhan, Fei Xiaojin and Shuai Yuanhong.
Although Yang Zhan had practiced martial arts, he had never led an army to fight. Suddenly he had five thousand soldiers. He was confused and pulled Fei Xiaojin to let him use his talents.
Fei Xiaojin was also frightened: "Although I have learned the Five Elements method, I don't know how to train soldiers."
Shuai Yuanhong smiled and said: "If each of them is given a firecracker, I can teach them how to shoot."
Lan Lan sneered: "You can only travel around the world, act like a hero, and lead troops to fight, but you still have to let me, my daughter, live in your home. Forget it, follow me to the school field!"
When everyone arrived at the school grounds, where were the five thousand soldiers? They were clearly a large group of ragged refugees! They were scattered all over the place in twos and threes.
Lan Lan stared at Gong Ming, who was in charge of recruiting soldiers: "Where did you recruit the soldiers from? You didn't ask them to fight, you clearly wanted them to die!"
Gongming smiled and said: "Lan'er, why do you think I recruited them all for you so quickly? Refugees from around Chongqing are everywhere now. There is food, clothing and money here. Of course they are willing
Come and serve as a soldier. I completed this mission easily, and the rest is up to you."
Lan Lan sneered again: "Just wait and see the joke, I won't let you get what you want!"
Having been around Qin Liangyu since she was a child, Lan Lan certainly knows how to organize troops, but she has never had the opportunity to practice.
Malanlan stood on the stage, picked up the bow and arrow, and fired dozens of arrows. The campus of Nuovo University was positioned vertically and horizontally by the arrow shafts. After that, he ordered Commander Yuanhong to beat the drum and shouted: "Listen to my command and shoot with arrows."
As a mark, they are arranged from left to right, high and low. After ten drums are sounded, those who have not entered the battle will be punished with twenty sticks and driven out of the military camp."
Hu Lala, an orderly and uniform team quickly formed in the school field.
Malanlan ordered again: "Those who can climb mountains should stand on the left, and those who can shoot can stand on the right." In less than an hour, the five thousand people were divided into several teams: white pole soldiers, archers, and firecrackers.
He personally trained the white pole soldiers, handed over the archers to Yang Zhan, handed over the musketry team to Shuai Yuanhong, and Fei Xiaojin served as the military advisor and was responsible for food and fodder logistics.
Yang Zhan saw that Malanlan was so heroic and heroic, just like another Qin Liangyu, and he respected and loved her so much that he vowed to learn how to organize his troops as soon as possible and become a strong backing that Malanlan could rely on.
Everyone trained day and night, and during their breaks they discussed the war and discussed strategies and tactics.
During this period, news continued to come that She Chongming had killed Xu Keqiu, the governor of Sichuan. After occupying Chongqing, he attacked Hejiang, defeated Luzhou, and captured Zunyi. He founded the country as "Daliang". Chieftains from all over the country were bribed by him and responded one after another, gathering 100,000 elite soldiers.
Divided the army and marched towards Chengdu, successively captured Fushun, Neijiang, Ziyang, Jianzhou, Xindu and Longquan, and surrounded Chengdu.
The transfer order from the Ministry of War has not yet arrived. Yang Zhan, Fei Xiaojin and Shuai Yuanhong were so anxious that they were like ants on a hot pot, jumping up and down in the chieftain's house. They suddenly heard the butler's announcement and asked several young masters to go to the hall to meet the guests.
It turned out that She Chongming sent envoys carrying gold, silver, jewels and silk brocades to form an alliance. Qin Liangyu sat calmly and calmly on the commander's seat, with his brother Minping and several nephews serving on both sides.
The envoy reported: "General Qin, my king has always respected you and your white-pole soldiers. We were forced to rebel this time by the court. We hope to get your understanding and support. The court treats us chieftains.
There has always been only suspicion and suppression. When the war comes, let us fight to the death. After the war is over, they will find excuses to deal with us. Isn’t this how your husband was killed? And this time in the battle with Houjin, your eldest brother and
Thousands of white pole soldiers died in the battle, and the imperial court came to recruit our Yi soldiers, and they refused to give us money or food, so everyone rebelled! Please lead your troops to surround Chengdu and drive away the King of Shu. We will all be divided.
Be the king."
After hearing this, Qin Liangyu slammed the table and stood up, "I have determined in my life to 'hold the sword to defend the country', how can I join in the same trend with you rebellious officials and traitors! Pull them out and chop them, and immediately send troops to relieve the siege of Chengdu." The gentle and demure man
Qin Liangyu acted decisively.
The envoy was pulled down, Yang Zhan and everyone else were excited and gearing up. Qin Minping stepped forward and admonished: "If we send troops without authorization without receiving the order from the Ministry of War, will the court suspect us?"
Qin Liangyu replied enthusiastically: "My feelings for the court can be learned from the sun and the moon!"
She Chongming's ancestor was originally a leader of the Miao ethnic group in Yongning, Sichuan. He submitted to the imperial court during the reign of Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty. His ancestors were granted by the imperial court and inherited the post of Xuanfu Secretary of Yongning until She Chongming's generation, but he was not satisfied.
He wants to split the country and become the emperor himself.
She Chongming was insidious and cunning, fond of soldiers and martial arts. He had brave Yi soldiers and Miao soldiers in his hands. He had been recruited to the mainland many times and also had a mansion in Chengdu. He was well aware of the realities and customs of the mainland. His son She Yin was even more cunning.
He is evil and cunning, and his desire for rebellion is even greater.
At that time, the Houjin Dynasty (Nurhaci) rose in eastern Liaoning and the Ming army suffered repeated defeats. The imperial court rushed to recruit soldiers from various states to aid Liao to meet the urgent need. She Chongming also mobilized 30,000 troops to aid Liao. He took the opportunity to dispatch his son-in-law Fan Long and Fan Long's brother
Fan Hu and his general Zhang Tong came to Chongqing with 20,000 infantry and cavalry to demand military pay from Sichuan Governor Xu Keqiu.
Fan Long, Fan Hu and Zhang Tong stationed troops in Xiaochangba, Chongqing. They sent their rolls to Fuyuan for review and asked for seventeen gold for each soldier. Xu Keqiu thought that there were many old and weak soldiers, so he asked to eliminate them.
The first person to be eliminated was a weak old man in ragged clothes. When he was counted out of the team, Fan Hu suddenly cut off the old man's head with his sword, threw it on the stage in front of Xu Keqiu, and said provocatively: "You are too dissatisfied
Kill the weak ones."
Xu Keqiu accused: "The imperial court has its own military laws, why do you kill people wantonly? Are you rebelling?"
Fan Long roared: "I just want to rebel." Xu Kezhi said seriously: "This is to destroy the nine tribes!"
Fan Long and Fan Hu both jumped onto the stage and said to the soldiers in the audience: "How long will we wait if we don't respond?"
As a result, all the soldiers rushed to the parade platform, pointing swords and spears at Xu Keqiu. The school grounds roared loudly, guns and guns were fired, and the officers and soldiers were defeated. Xu Keqiu was stabbed several times and died.
The Fan brothers and Zhang Tong also killed 20 officials from Shandong Road and below in the school field.
At this time, She Chongming, who had already led his troops to ambush by the river in the lower half of the city, heard the sound of cannons in the city and immediately rushed into the city. He responded inside and outside. In less than half a day, Chongqing was controlled by She's army.
She Chongming immediately announced the founding of the country, called Tokyo, and named the country "Daliang". He appointed the prime minister, five government officials, and other officials. He also recruited 50,000 surrendered soldiers and forcibly recruited 50,000 soldiers. He tied up the rich and powerful households in the city and extorted 5 million in gold and silver. The rebels attacked and joined forces.
Jiang, defeated Luzhou, fell into Zunyi, occupied Baoning, and surrounded Chengdu.
After killing the envoy, everyone discussed how to send troops. Yang Zhan suggested that we should attack the enemy unprepared, and it would be best to use troops from both sides, Chongqing and Chengdu, so that She Chongming could not figure out the reality.
Qin Liangyu then ordered the civilians to lead Yi Ming, Gong Ming and 3,000 soldiers to go westward against the current tonight, secretly cross the city of Chongqing, take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, and go straight to Nanping Pass in Chongqing, pretending to attack Chongqing. Then they set up ambushes in the two rivers.
Attack and burn the enemy's ships, and divide the troops to defend Chungju.
She also ordered Ma Lanlan and Yang Zhan to take their five thousand soldiers and her five thousand soldiers to go straight to Chengdu.
He also ordered Xianglin to guard the door of his house and report anything quickly.
Everyone followed the order and left. Qin Liangyu wrote another letter to the general army of Kuizhou and sent a horse to Kuizhou, asking the local garrison to quickly defend the upper and lower reaches of Qutang Gorge and repel the invading bandits.
