Li Zicheng was very happy after reading the "Happy Donation" list, and he could live happily for a few more months.
Although the role of the Octopus Dragon Division is not big, let's give him 20% of the capture and try to win over him.
Feng Qilong also reported that there was a stubborn donkey in the city - a former magistrate who was dismissed from office and returned home because of his uprightness - who went on a hunger strike.
"We must let him hold on for a few more years and wait until he sees the revolutionary army break through the capital before he dies."
Li Zicheng generously gave him one hundred taels of silver to buy a coffin.
Feng Qilong added that there was also a Wu scholar who was a die-hard and cursed all day long.
"Tell him to live a good life, and in a few years he will be promoted to Jinshi. In the future, he will go to Yulin and become a governor. When the revolutionary army breaks Yulin City, it will be up to him whether he lives or dies."
Li Zicheng generously gave him one hundred taels of silver to buy a coffin.
Feng Qilong was used to the commander-in-chief's nagging, so he accepted the order and left after listening to the arrangements.
Li Zicheng is still thinking of winning people's hearts for the time being, and when he is strong enough in the future, he can directly suppress them like counterrevolutionaries. Otherwise, keeping them will only bring hidden dangers.
Taking advantage of the opportunity for repairs, the commander reorganized the team again.
Liu Fangliang's troops are far away in Lishan and will not move for the time being.
There are currently more than 4,600 people.
Set up four infantry sentries: Liu Zongmin, Ma Shiyao; Li Zijia, Bai Wang; Zhang Neng, Li You; Yuan Zongdi, Hu Erniu, each led by a sentry commander and deputy.
Cavalry Post 1: Gu Kecheng, Xin Sizhong.
Li Guo continued to lead the new army camp.
Zhao Sheng, the new member of the team, stepped back to the second line and took charge of the supply camp. He also opened the martial arts hall. The students transferred from the martial arts hall were also soldiers in the training camp.
Lao Zhao's troops, like Hu Erniu, the eight kings of the North Camp before him, were not suitable for demobilization as soldiers. After the rest were disrupted, some were sent to the new barracks and some were transferred to various sentries.
Feng Qilong, the master of civil affairs, was in charge of civil affairs, and about thirty intellectuals, including the scholar Guo Dian and the child student Zhang Xingjiao, were not only clerks but also responsible for literacy classes.
Just as we settled down here, something happened in the Octopus Dragon tribe - a big boss was killed.
Ma Yaozi Wang Fuchen followed his brother-in-law to join the peasant army two years ago. He was quite brave, but he liked gambling. 1 His original surname was Li. After joining Jiang Quan, he changed his name to Wang after becoming his godfather. It was not important to change his name in advance.
After conquering Jishan, the young man got a lot of money. When he entered the city to repair it, he naturally had to play a few tricks. As a result, he lost six hundred taels of silver in one night.
Dang's brother-in-law was angry and wanted to clean up the family. Unexpectedly, he was killed by Wang Fuchen. The younger brother then ran away.
This is done!
After hearing the cause and effect, Li Zicheng sighed secretly. Wang Fuchen is also a famous person, but he didn't expect him to be here.
This is the first rebellion in Wang Fuchen's military career. He will jump around seven or eight times in the future, which is on par with Huang Chao and Wu Dading. His future ability will far exceed that of Wu Dading.
In the twelfth year of Kangxi, Wang Fuchen was the admiral of Shaanxi, and he followed Wu Sangui to rebel against the Qing Dynasty. In the fifteenth year, he was defeated and surrendered, and he became the admiral of Pingliang. Five years later, the old man committed suicide because of uneasiness... Look at Kangxi's methods, Zhu Yuanzhang's skinning
It's just child's play, killing one's heart is the real skill.
Now that this scandal had happened, Xu Shili, the eight-clawed dragon, felt that he could not bear it, so he apologized to Li Zicheng and led his team to leave Jishan.
Lao Li could only slander him, he was just a naughty person, he just took the money and ran away, why didn't you bow before you?
The revolutionary army continued to recuperate in the city and made large purchases on the way. There were many kinds of grains and beans, stuffed vegetables, pancakes, and red dates.
Especially red dates, because the fruit is heavy and fragile when dropped, it is known as "Pulling Crisp". Jishan dates were a tribute to the royal family thousands of years ago.
In the early Ming Dynasty, in order to develop the economy, local officials ordered the people in the 29 counties in the six prefectures under the jurisdiction of Pingyang Prefecture to grow jujube. If they disobeyed, they would be sent to guard the border.
Naturally, farmers from all over the country did not dare to disobey the order, so they planted jujubes everywhere and pretended to call them "imperial jujubes".
After all, fakes are fakes. After a few years of hard work, the people had little to gain and complained, so the government had no choice but to let the people cut down the jujube trees and use them as firewood.
The authentic Jishan jujube is plump and fat, with bright red color, thick flesh, small core, fine texture, and high sugar content. When you bite it open, the flesh is green, sweet, crisp and fragrant. It will not dry out after being stored for a long time.
After drying until it is half dry, the skin color will become darker and the pulp will turn into a sauce color, which is as sticky as sweet. When you break it open, you can pull out filaments like old honey. At this time, the sugar content is as high as 70% and it is rich in nutrients.
More than 500 thousand-year-old jujube trees are about to ripen. Li Zicheng must plunder them all and let Chongzhen eat them!
After the white dew, the sweltering heat of summer has ended, the sky is high and the clouds are clear, and the air is refreshing and cool.
In the blink of an eye, it’s the Mid-Autumn Festival again on August 15th.
Li Zicheng had no time to recite poems this time. The revolutionary army brought moon cakes out of the city to meet the official army.
You Shilu, the former commander-in-chief of Shanxi Town, begged to return because of his illness, and was allowed to do so, but he was still ordered to wait for his death. Lao You was too lazy to pay attention to the emperor and stayed behind closed doors.
So the person leading the team this time was Deputy Commander-in-Chief Wang Guoliang.
Currently, there are still three or four peasant armies remaining in Shanxi. In addition to Jishan County, Xizhou and Puzhou are also under siege.
However, the revolutionary army's performance was so impressive that they were targeted by Wang Guoliang.
More than four thousand officers and soldiers swarmed over.
Revolutionary Army....vs.....Official Army
[Feng]...*.........ooooo right wing cavalry
[Sky]...*.........the right winger with mouth and mouth
Li Zicheng's layout is still a crab formation that can be attacked and defended. (The layout is really bad)
The battle lines of both sides were stretched out for a mile.
The two sides first formed their troops and faced each other for half an hour, staring at each other with big eyes and small eyes.
The officers and soldiers on the opposite side were in rags and were hungry. They had only human shapes and no interest in life. It was really sad for those who heard it and shed tears for those who watched it.
Wang Guoliang couldn't wait any longer. If he continued to delay, the hungry soldiers might faint from hunger. He could only take the lead in attacking.
Carrying the 30 or 40-year-old Franji, Tiger Crouching and other artillery pieces to the car - the second-line soldiers didn't even have a suitable artillery cart, so they had to put them away every time;
Horse, move forward.
After reaching a distance of 400 steps, the Ming army stopped and placed artillery again.
Then--
"Boom!"
"ah!"
A cannon exploded, and several gunners burped.
The rusty cannon was crudely made, full of pores, the inner wall was pitted, and the charge was not rationed, sometimes more and sometimes less.
What's more, the Tiger Crouching Franchise can't reach 400 steps at all. The main gun is not good, and the gunpowder formula is slightly inferior; the granulation is not understood - Qi Jiguang knew it, but did not promote it - the gunpowder will delaminate during the bumps on the road, and the effect will be
Discount.
The Ming army also had an inexplicable cannon with a big mouth and a small tail. It was useless except for wasting gunpowder projectiles. But it would never explode.
Li Zicheng watched their performance quietly.
By the time the officers and soldiers fired three rounds of artillery to warm up, they had already killed nine of their own men. 2 had been tricked by the Ming army. Originally, they collapsed after the artillery bombing.
As soon as the revolutionary bugle cannon sounded, the flag flew, and they began to advance.
The officers and soldiers only had time to fire one more round of artillery, and then first the gunners retreated, and then the three-eyed gunmen and others saw that they could not break the shield vehicle and retreated one after another.
The rest is a matter of fighting for morale.
The first row of officers and soldiers resisted slightly and dispersed from both sides.
Then, the killer weapon ten steps behind them showed its ferocious appearance.
"Boom!"
The general's artillery fired 200 rounds of scattered shells and struck across the area twenty feet.
Thunderclaps sounded, smoke billowed, and projectiles flew in random directions, making no distinction between friend and foe.
The second outpost of the Revolutionary Army instantly threw dozens of people into the street.
"Don't retreat! Stay in formation! Stay in formation!" Lu Yingbiao, captain of the gendarmerie, cut down one person and yelled at the top of his lungs. In the second year of Shunzhi's reign, he died in battle in Wuchang.
"Yeah!"
Li Zijia, who was supervising the formation from the rear, gritted his steel teeth, brandished his sword and shouted: "Kill!"
He took the lead and galloped out.
"Am I in trouble?" Wang Deren, the guard captain, spoke in a hurry.
If the commander falls into the enemy's position, is the "revolutionary army's formation method" child's play?!
Wang Deren hurriedly led more than ten guards to catch up.
The cavalry captain Hu Maozhen could only gallop his horse to keep up, shouting as he ran, "Melon skin!"
Deputy whistler Bai Wang saw that the formation on the left was in chaos, then took a closer look and said, "Are you kidding me? You're a second-stringer!"
He hurriedly shouted: "Send the order! All sentry assault!"
The third sentry next door saw that the formation of the second sentry had dispersed, Zhang Neng hurriedly ordered Li You to lead his team to reinforce.
When the news reached the Chinese army, Li Zicheng was suddenly in chaos, "Charge, charge, charge! Charge my entire battalion!"
The bugle was blaring and the flag was waving.
The whole army shouted: "Long live!"
Regardless of whether it was a soldier or a fire-headed soldier, a drummer or someone leading a horse and a donkey to carry a stretcher, they all picked up knives and went forward to chop people.
The shouts shook the sky, and the sky was darkened by the fighting.
…
The battlefield soon became quiet.
Li Zijia held a steel knife in his hand and glared angrily.
Half of his Tianling Cap was blown off, and the paste flowed all over the floor.
The war horse pressing on his legs was covered in blood holes and had stopped twitching long ago.
Underneath the horse corpse was a Ming army general whose iron helmet was squashed flat.
"well……"
Li Zicheng sighed, "Everyone, get up. It's not your fault."
The dozen or so officers, big and small, who were kneeling around him breathed a sigh of relief, and their anxious hearts finally settled down.
Wang Deren stood up, but his legs were so weak that he couldn't stand firmly. He stumbled and almost fell down.
Li Zicheng patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Er Mao, you have done your duty. You have done a great job!"
"Thank... thank... Commander-in-Chief, I..." Wang Deren's eyes were red, and he couldn't even speak. 3 After Li Zicheng's death, he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and then to the Southern Ming Dynasty, the feudal prince. He was later captured and killed.
In this battle, the revolutionary army killed 123 people and wounded more than 200; they wiped out 500 enemies and captured more than 1,000 prisoners.
Shanxi Town Deputy Commander Wang Guoliang escaped, but what awaited him was Emperor Chongzhen's anger: "Garrison the border!"
…
When he returned to the county seat, Commander Li's vest was soaked through, and he was frightened for a while.
No matter how many times you simulate the chessboard, it will never compare to an actual battle.
He actually failed to stabilize at the critical moment, causing the entire army to advance rashly. If the opponent was an elite soldier, then the revolutionary army would probably be defeated.
After dinner, Li Zicheng held a military meeting to deeply review his mistakes. The generals also discussed the pros and cons.
You'll gain wisdom by taking every step. If you can't get a hot air balloon for the time being, you can consider setting up a lookout to observe the enemy's situation in the future. Li Zicheng didn't expect that the second-line Ming army was such a thieves, and actually hid a big killer in the back row.
Li Zijia retired, Bai Wang was promoted to commander of the sentry, and Li Maochun was promoted to deputy sentry.
The Black Evil God Li Maochun started his army earlier than Zhao Sheng. He was of the same generation as Wang Jiayin and Zhang Cunmeng, but he later became Zhao Sheng's subordinate. This young man was originally going to be one of the thirty-sixth battalion of Shanxi next year, and he was also considered a figure.
After the meeting, Li Zicheng felt guilty and finally decided to reward the three armies.
Twenty taels for each soldier who goes out to fight; five taels for those who stay behind; sixty taels for those who are killed; thirty taels for those who are wounded. Those with outstanding military exploits will also receive heavy rewards.
The whole army rejoices!
"Long live the Holy Might!" This chapter has been completed!
