After training, Shang Yi first asked the mercenaries to rest for a day, and started assessing them the next day. It was not unexpected to Shang Yi. This group of guys passed all the assessments almost without any effort. In addition, the assessment results are more than a lot of merchant forces in terms of strength and endurance. Even Shang Yi has to be amazed. The foreigner's body is indeed good. However, it is much worse in terms of skills and physical flexibility.
Of course, during the assessment, it was also attracted to the soldiers of many merchant forces to watch. There were so many foreigners in the barracks, and red hair, yellow hair, brown hair, and the black people were available. Naturally, they also caused them to cause them. Many interests, when they saw his amazing power when they saw him, they couldn't help but cheer and drink.
Most foreigners are crazy, and the more cheers, the more vigorous, because the assessment is basically not wasteful, so they later they have better grades to each other. A little bit, bigger, and naturally the enthusiasm of other soldiers should be sent. Staying like a grand event, lively and extraordinary.
After all the mercenaries passed the assessment, Shang Yi reached an agreement with Correa on the compensation of the mercenaries. Shang Yi paid 850 silver to Correa every month, including non -combatant staff. Return. And first pay for them for a month. At the same time, the two sides also confessed that the merchant army provides the mercenaries with basic living materials, weapons, assembly, but muskets, artillery, and good weapons. Buy. But it is forbidden to rob the enemy's materials in the battle. All the warriors will return to the public. After the battle is over, Shang Yi will be unified according to the size of their credit.
Correa is a professional soldier. Naturally, she also knows that Shang Yi's requirements are very reasonable. On the European battlefield, often because soldiers coaxed the fighting products, causing their own team chaos, it would cause internal fighting. As a result, it caused failure. Therefore, there was a failure. He also agreed with this, saying that he would strictly restrain the soldiers of his men.
Later, Shang Yi, like Correa announced the military discipline of the merchant army, and asked Arkania to translate into Portuguese, and gave it to Correa, letting him announce it like all mercenaries that he must obey. Then, then
After three days of rest, Wang Xin led the army to return to Shandong. Shang Yi also wrote a letter to let Wang Xin bring Ye Yao to fill in and Zhou Shiqi, telling them that he is now serving as the chief soldier of Zhejiang, and the station will also move to Zhejiang. Therefore, they are also prepared for their relocation. And Arkonia will not return to Muling Pass, so stay in the barracks and wait for Zhejiang's rebellion to stabilize in Zhejiang. In addition, Shang Yi intends to follow Aconia learns Spanish. After all, at this time, Spanish is the language of the world. It is impossible to rely on French only. As for English, you can save it.
Archonia also knows that Zhejiang is one of the most prosperous regions in China. If you can carry out missionary work in this fruit, open the situation, it is also good for the gospel of the spread of the owner. Responsibility is enough, so I also readily agreed.
At this moment, from Suzhou, there was also news. The three regiments led by the advanced group also encountered a trouble in Suzhou.
-------------------------------
As soon as the Entrusters Army arrived in Suzhou, and before entering the city, he encountered the pioneer of the rebels, about 5,000 people, so that they had reached the city of Suzhou.
Cheng Jin saw the rebels under the city of Jiangsu first, and he was not in a hurry to enter the city. He planned to defeat the rebels first. After all, the five thousand rebels, for a group of merchants, still do not say anything.
Inside the merchant army, there is now an estimated formula. In the normal field, only the Qing army was qualified to make one to one -to -one efficiency with the merchant army.
Forces, other troops such as Zuo Liangyu and Zhang Xianzhong must at least have three to four times troops in order to fight with the merchant army.
Therefore, the five thousand rebels did not let Cheng Jin take it to heart at all. So they immediately ordered the two muskets to attack the rebels with four rows of array formation.
The launch of the Emperor Xuanhuang this time was actually in secret for more than ten years. It turned out that the Emperor Xuan Emperor had been lurking in Jiangnan and has been working hard for more than two hundred years.
Everyone appears as a businessman and the middle -level officials. Although it cannot be said that it has controlled the entire Jiangnan region, but in this area, there is indeed a huge power.
This generation of Xuan Emperor is less than ten years, but he is ambitious, and it is just in the late Ming Dynasty. Therefore, he wants to achieve a great cause. It is only that he has also been clear that China's political center has always been in the north.
Although it may be successful, at most, it is just to rule the river with the north. Therefore, I hope to first create a situation in the north, and then do things in the south. Echo the north and south, and there is hope for success in one fell swoop.
However, the Emperor Xuan Emperor lacked the foundation in the north. In the second place, the northern streams were rising, and it was chaotic, and it was difficult to find a good opportunity for a while. It was difficult to find two opportunities.
Once it was directly entered Beijing, assassinated Chongzhen, causing a chaos, and the good muddy water touched the fish. Unfortunately, they were destroyed by Shang Yi these two times.
In this case, the Emperor Xuan Emperor had to decide, and the next thing to retreat was to launch things in the south.
The soil is called the king. And at this time, the three major forces of the Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng, and Zhang Xianzhong were concentrated in the Huguang area.
The best time.
In fact, the Emperor Xuan Emperor had been preparing for the beginning of the matter. There were sixteen guards and thirty -five prefectures within Zhejiang Province, and five of them were controlled by them.
In the area with Hangzhou as the core, there are two commanders of the guards. The six thousand households are actually the chiefs of the Emperor Xuan Emperor. Therefore, it can be said that everything is ready, and only wait for the leader's order.
Although the system of the guardian military households in the Ming Dynasty was greatly destroyed, after all, the military households were stronger than ordinary people, and in the guards, there are also quite a few military and military weapons. Therefore
Very smooth, they first worked in Shaoxing Mansion, and other areas responded. In less than a month, they captured the Ningbo government, Shaoxing government, Hangzhou government, Huzhou government, Jiaxing government, Yanzhou government, etc.
Liufu. There are more than 67,000 troops. It is also prepared to enter Nanjing.
But at this moment, the merchant army defeated Zhang Xianzhong, and returned to the soldiers Nanjing. The Emperor Xuan Emperor was still a little bit afraid of the merchant army, so he also gave up the plan to attack Nanjing and focused on Suzhou Prefecture and Songjiang Prefecture. Region, gradually surround Nanjing.
The leader of attacking the pioneer of the Suzhou rebels is Chen Jianxin, and it is a fragrant master of the Emperor Xuan. The master of the rebellion was the leader of the rivers who had attacked Luzhou at the beginning of the joint venture. He led 30,000 horses and then set off.
Although Chen Jianxin has heard of the prestige of the merchant army, after all, he has never seen the power of the merchant army, and he does not know the depth. When he saw the merchant army launched an attack on himself, it seemed less than himself. Ordered the soldiers to face the soldiers.
In contrast, the formation of the rebels gradually dispersed, while the merchant army still maintained a neat queue, and the distance between the two sides was gradually pulling closer.
After many fierce battles, Chengjin's distance of the distance within a hundred steps was handy. At first sight, the rebels almost entered the effective range of the Merchant Army, and immediately set out the command to shoot.
"The entire army is set."
"The first row of muskets, prepare."
"Terminal guns, preparations, shooting."
The sound of a huge row of guns immediately shook the entire wilderness, and the soldiers of the rebels shocked the soldiers. The projectiles were dense as rain, and they hit the rebels in a basic dispersal formation.
Hundreds of rebels who rushed at the forefront were almost at the same time, screaming to fall to the ground. Blood ejected out of the battlefield, and it was all over the battlefield. The rebels obviously did not expect that the firepower of the merchant army would be so fierce. Seeing that the companions in front of them fell to the ground, everyone couldn't help trembling, and could not help but be confused.
And the shooting of the merchant army will not stop because of the shock of the rebels. The second row of the musket soldiers immediately stepped forward and took the position of the first row of the first row of the cannons. The tightness is the third row, the fourth row, and then the continuous continuous.
In the endless row of guns, the bullets continued to fly from the two wings and the front to the rebels. The shout immediately shrouded the entire battlefield.
In just a few minutes, the rebels were killed by six or seven hundred people. The painful gusher screaming.
In fact, many people in the rebels are the Ming army of the guards. They usually have seen musket shooting, but they also feel that there is nothing terrible, and they are much different from bow and arrows, but they never expected that in the merchant army's hands. In it, the musket can exert such a fierce firepower, and it is unplugged afterwards, endlessly, and there is almost no pause in the middle.
The rebels were gathered temporarily, and they were mostly the Ming army and the army of the guards. They were not soldiers. If they won the battle, they could still be angry and move forward. Under the violent blows of the see, he was also scared to fly away. He dared to persist there, and many people were oily at first sight, and immediately turned their heads and ran. Even Chen Jianxin's order did not listen.
Chengjin was defeated by the rebels, and immediately ordered a comprehensive attack. The soldiers of the Merchant Army inserted a bayonet, and then chased after they fled the rebels.
At first sight, the rebels were defeated, and they immediately ordered their troops to say that they would talk about the advanced Suzhou City.
But under the city of Suzhou, the soldiers who defended the city were very happy when they saw the savior come, and they immediately reported it, but after a long time, they returned to the city to tell Cheng Jin and let the merchant army camp outside the city without being allowed to enter without being allowed to enter.
city.
After listening to it, I can't help but be surprised.
