Chapter 167 The General Mobilization of the Gentlemen
The new army that suddenly arrived quickly defeated the Changzhou Prefecture Volunteer Team.
The latter was just a private army brought by Gao Panlong. During the half-year confrontation between the north and the south, more than a dozen prefectures including Suzhou Prefecture, Songjiang Prefecture, Changzhou Prefecture, etc. quickly recruited such volunteer teams.
In theory, governments in various places recruited kings, but in fact they were private troops formed by gentry from all over the country.
Then he arrived in Nanjing and was only theoretically dispatched by the Ministry of War, but in fact he was controlled by the same officials who were in Nanjing. The gentry were very enthusiastic about this because the strength of these volunteer teams represented their voice in the capital. And the current coalition forces resisted in Qingliuguan, and the same people who also monitored the nobles and new troops in Nanjing. Those who attacked Yuejiang Tower were the Changzhou Prefecture Volunteer Team directly commanded by the right deputy censor Gao Panlong...
“Other volunteer teams have also taken action.
The strongest Suzhou Prefecture Volunteer Team is in the Imperial City, with a total of nearly 2,000 people.
In addition, there are those led by Zhao Nanxing from the north. They guarded the palace, with a total of about 3,000 people, and they all had food and accommodation in the imperial city.
There are eight other volunteer teams currently stationed in various parts of the city. As for the four who were brought to Qingliu Pass, the Songjiang Volunteer Team were mainly four, and four were reinforced one after another.
In addition, Yangzhou, Huaian and other places also have their own volunteer teams. The number of these volunteer teams is different, with more than a thousand and fewer than two or three hundred.
As for weapons and training, they are the same mold. They mainly use bird guns and some turtle dove guns. When fighting, they rely on platoon guns, which is a bit like the tactics of the Japanese. However, they do not have cannons, but this should have been not taken out. The little silver for a few cannons is not worth mentioning to them. In fact, the cannons are being built everywhere, but the new army has not many turtle dove guns, especially in Fuzhou, who are also sent to the Red Cannon. It is said that Fuzhou maritime merchants brought back from Luzon and brought back the cannon sergeants.
This thing is extremely powerful and has been used in Yangzhou City.
The volunteer team in Zhangzhou also brought a navy team, which was parked on the Xiaguan pier, and there were even many Japanese sailors on the boat."
Li Yi, the captain of the Tianjin South Army, said, "The original Tianjin South Army."
After he went south, he was incorporated into the New Army as the commander of the sentry by Qi Jin. He had received a secret letter from Wang Gui before, but was actually waiting for Yang Feng to arrive.
Not only him, but the fireflies in the new army are already preparing.
In the past six months, they quickly relied on the theory taught by Yang Feng to develop a large number of soldiers willing to follow them, and these soldiers were enough to drive the remaining ones who were blindly following. In fact, if needed, they could make most of the current new troops immediately turn against each other.
After all, they like what Yang Feng wants to do.
However, the new army was not stationed in the city.
The new army stationed in Nanjing is only partially on the city wall every day. In fact, the main forces trained in the past six months are under Wu Weizhong and Zhu Wenda. Qi Jin's 50,000 are just the teaching team and the recruits, but most of the teaching teams are affected by the fire. The recruits are better handled by the generals. They are not familiar with the generals, but familiar with these teaching teams. Li Yi brought the nearest Jinchuan Gate. At this time, Yifeng and Zhongfu Gate had been blocked. The closest Jinchuan Gate was the Dinghuai Gate.
"Japanese?"
His Majesty the Emperor said in surprise.
"Your Majesty, Zhangzhou sea merchants always live in Japan and trade with Japan and the Ming Dynasty. The ships of these sea merchants hire Japanese people, not only them, but also Nanyang merchant ships or merchants in the port. "
Matteo Ricci quickly showed his existence.
He performed poorly just now, and now he urgently needs to show up.
As for his injury, he was not serious, but he was hit with more than a dozen iron sand. The shrapnel made by flying thunder are not worth mentioning. He mainly installed this, but the power of the iron sand is insignificant.
As long as it is not infected, it is okay.
However, his ability to resist infection should be enough, otherwise he would not have survived the Ming Dynasty. Those who could survive on a ship that had voyages of tens of thousands of miles would definitely have a bad life. One-third of the Gothenburg could die on a voyage, so these missionaries who came to the Ming Dynasty had physical strength, and Long Huamin even lived to more than 90 years.
"He didn't tell the truth, so did Macau."
Yang Feng said.
"Uh, I'm just talking about it in a bit more general way."
Matteo Ricci said quickly.
There were indeed a lot of them in Macau. Later, the Ming Dynasty soldiers knew that they had hanged several of them and ordered the Portuguese to clean them up by themselves. However, at this time, the Japanese were indeed the ones that the sea pirates and colonists all loved by the sea. They ate like cats, worked like donkeys, and were as loyal as dogs. They were simply perfect slaves. The Portuguese hired them, the Siamese hired them, the Ming pirates hired them, and their figures were everywhere in the East's business chain.
"These unruly people!"
Wanli said hatefully.
The Ming Dynasty had long banned trade with Japan.
There are still tens of thousands of people living in Japan for permanent trade, so what is behind it is obvious.
"This is the general mobilization of the gentry in Jiangnan. They all jumped out and fought desperately. What was Qi Jin's idea?"
Yang Feng asked Li Yi.
"I don't know very well. The young men were afraid of revealing their identities, so they didn't dare to tell the truth about the north. They usually talked about the land in the north with their brothers, but they didn't dare to say about the life and death of His Majesty. He did think that His Majesty had passed away. However, Wu Jiong, a native of Songjiang who assisted in the new army these days, has been following him, and several major generals of the new army were also staring at him. In addition, Gao Panlong and others invited them many times, probably to buy them for money. Qi Shuai and their family were also sent to the imperial city in the name of reward.
And those nobles were also sent to the imperial city under the name of reward.
In fact, Nanjing has become panic these days. It is said that the second coach of Zhu and Wu are turning against each other and are attacking Qingliu Pass.
The court arrested those who said this.
However, the military supplies reserved in Nanjing were transported to Jiangbei and Qingliu Pass in one boat. And today two volunteer teams headed north to Qingliu Pass.
In fact, the people have concluded that it is true, and timids are starting to run away.
There are also rumors that the Xuyi guard Mao Guoqi has also gone south."
Li Yi said.
At this moment, smoke suddenly rose from the distant block, followed by dense gunfire.
"Who came from Dinghuai Sect, Liu Hu should have brought his troops here and fought with the Huizhou Prefecture Volunteer Team stationed in Siwang Mountain. The Huizhou Prefecture Volunteer Team was 1,500, and Huizhou salt merchants gave them 200,000 taels, nearly half of which were turtle dove guns, and they also bought red armor from Macau. Liu Hu may not be able to open it. His brothers in Dinghuai Sect have only 800 people in total."
Li Yi said.
The sound of gunfire became increasingly dense, and the battle situation there was obviously very fierce.
“There are also in the back!”
The imperial concubine screamed in shock.
They turned around and looked out of the city, and a large number of soldiers appeared on the Xiaguan Wharf.
Behind these soldiers were more than a dozen obvious sea ships, and many of them were short and obviously Japanese. They rushed to this side in chaos like a group of pirates, and soon rushed into the moat and swam under the city wall. These guys, who were obviously sailors, threw their flying claws directly upwards, quickly climbed onto the unguarded city wall, and then came down in the same way. These guys were extremely skilled in doing this, and just crossed the city wall like climbing over an ordinary wall.
And their goal is obviously here.
Just in the city behind it, the second battlefield also appeared.
"The Shence Sect came here, and the volunteer team from Ningguo Mansion was blocking it."
Li Yi said.
Nanjing City suddenly fell into the smoke of war, and then many battlefields appeared in the city. On the streets, people who were frightened and fleeing had not encountered war for two hundred years. Last time they were frightened by dozens of Japanese pirates, they cried and cried as if the end of the world was coming. The battles everywhere became more and more intense, especially in the farthest direction of Zhengyang Gate, you can even see artillery on the city wall shooting at the Daming Gate in the city. Similarly, there were artillery on the Daming Gate, and two cannons that were originally guarding the city fired at the Daming Gate.
But it is too far below the city wall to see...
"The new army is entering the city. Wang Feng is on the rotation today. Since he fired a cannon at the Daming Gate, it must be the brothers outside who are entering the city. In this way, Qi Shuai has already taken action. He must first open the imperial city and rescue the hostages inside!"
Li Yi said.
"They are rushing over!"
The Imperial Concubine continued to scream.
The sailors who entered the city had already begun to rush to Lion Mountain.
The new troops were on the stage, and the bird guns in their hands and the Fran aircraft carrying them aimed at the bottom, but they could not open fire at this time because the mountain was full of trees and even a temple. The sailors were blocked by green after going up the mountain. Most of these new troops were recruits, and they had never experienced the war. They could see that they were panicked. Several officers walked among them to remind them.
Fortunately, this platform is a good defensive fortress...
There are not even steps behind it, just a straight blue brick wall, almost ten feet tall, so it is not easy to climb up.
Yang Feng looked at the city full of smoke...
"Since that's the case, then fight, and let this Nandu, which has been peaceful for two hundred years, feel the smoke of war."
He said.
After saying that, he walked straight to the side of the Taiwan.
The first batch of enemy troops below rushed out of the woods. The leaders of the leaders were obviously all Japanese, and they jumped forward...
Although this word is a bit funny, the Ming Dynasty's attack on the Japanese was clearly recorded.
Just jumping.
Especially if they like to jump down and chop down, they probably know that this will make them stronger. If they don’t have enough strength, they will add weight!
"Stay on Yuejiang Tower and I'll clean them up!"
After Yang Feng said that, he jumped down.
Just as he landed, two Japanese people jumped over with a strange cry, and two Japanese swords were slashed in the air. Yang Feng took a step forward in an instant, and his fists were bombarded at the same time. The two Japanese people who were still in the air flew backwards...
Chapter completed!
