Chapter 532 I heard that your swordsmanship is good, let's practice, Gao Yingxiang is unlucky, and the Tianxiong army is waiting for work.The tragedy of Gao Yingxiang lies in the fact that although his subordinates claim to have 300,000 people, they can really fight only 50,000 or 60,000 people.A rabble is always a rabble, and no matter how many people there are, they are still a rabble.On June 21, Li Chongzhen's headquarters of the Tianxiong Army and Yang Shien's headquarters arrived at Zhending Mansion with more than 13,800 infantry and cavalry to join forces with Lei Shisheng's troops.The Battle of Zhending officially broke out, and Gao Yingxiang used an army of 300,000 to fight a decisive battle with Lu Xiangsheng's headquarters of the Tianxiong Army.The Tianxiong army took out all the old books that the Tianxiong army had saved in the past few years, arquebuses, flintlock guns, and Franc machine guns, one was counted as one, and one was counted as one, and a total of 15,000 musketeers and 260 large and small artillery pieces were made.Fifteen thousand musketeers, divided into three rows, hid behind a three-kilometre-long breastwork and barbed wire, firing at the rushing rogue stream with a desperate intensity.Occasionally, some rogues broke through the barbed wire and deer barricades, and were immediately shattered by the shotguns fired from the artillery, and none of them made it to the Tianxiong army alive.Pretty much the same as the Battle of Quang Ninh, this is almost a remake.The difference is that in the field situation, the Tianxiong Army used barbed wire, trenches, artillery and muskets to resist the uninterrupted attack of Gao Yingxiang's headquarters for a total of three days.In the course of the three-day offensive, Gao Yingxiang's troops exhausted the accumulated gunpowder, firearms, and even food, and after 30,000 or 40,000 casualties, Gao Yingxiang's troops were tired, and he realized that he could not win this battle.Gao Yingxiang was about to retreat, but at this time, he found that he couldn't run away at all.The cavalry, which had not shown up in the main force of the Tianxiong Army, and more than 2,000 cavalry of the Mongolian servant army, totaling more than 13,000 cavalry, had already appeared behind the Liukou army and successfully captured Jingcheng Pass.The problem in front of Gao Yingxiang is that he can't attack and can't escape.What's even more vicious is that Lu Xiangsheng adopted a two-handed policy, one hard and one soft, and he owed 30,000 stone of grain on credit to Quanjiazhuang Town in his name from the base camp of the Tianxiong Army, that is, Quanzhuang Town, the Daimyo's Mansion.Lu Xiangsheng used 30,000 stone of grain to directly recruit Gao Yingxiang's 300,000 hungry soldiers, and the Tianxiong army transported truckloads of steamed buns and flatbread.One person, two steamed buns or one cake were sent down, and Gao Yingxiang's 300,000 "army" knelt on the spot, and even pushed and dragged the cannon over, and the muzzle of the black hole was aimed at the king in the encirclement.What could be more blood-spitting than this?
Isn't it?
The strength was reversed in an instant, and the Tianxiong Army changed from a weak side to an instant strong, although Lu Xiangsheng didn't expect these hungers to have any effect, but from the heart, he directly shook the will of the Liukou.At this time, in Gao Yingxiang's Chinese army tent, Tian Jianxiu looked at Gao Yingxiang and shouted in despair: "King Chuang, this battle can't be fought, let's surrender!"
”Gao Yingxiang's expression was gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You think it's okay if it falls?"
”Tian Jianxiu said: "Surrender first, if the government can't give us a good settlement, and then turn against his mother, have we been like this all these years?"
”Gao Yingxiang said with a gloomy expression: "That's because the officers and soldiers don't have enough strength to forcibly disband us and confiscate our weapons, so we can surrender if we want to, and rebel if we want to!"
”He pointed outside and said sharply, "But now, look at it, will they still give us such a chance?"
If it falls, we'll never have a chance!
”Zhang Xianzhong's eyes flickered: "King Chuang, we also want to fight, but the problem is, you can also see that we can't defeat the Tianxiong Army at all!"
”For Zhang Xianzhong's words, the leaders of the thieves thought so.If you can't beat it, just surrender.If you don't have a chance, you won't be back, everyone will be a common man again, as long as you can live, the ghost is willing to be this rogue, tie your head to the waistband of your pants and rush to the state, and be shocked overnight.This is the difference between Gao Yingxiang and the leaders of his gang, the leaders of those gangs are not as famous as him, even if they surrender, they will be fine, at most they will be back to the people, but Gao Yingxiang can't do it, the court hates him to the core, if he surrenders and is disbanded from the army, there will be only a dead end!
Gao Yingxiang said indignantly: "Rush again!"
It's getting dark, as long as we can rush out, we will have a chance to escape, it's pitch black, and the officers and soldiers don't dare to chase and kill!
”Chiefs, you look at me, and I look at you, and they don't squeak.Isn't it fun to have to take two or three thousand lives every time you rush?
Although they have fought a lot of battles, and the dead have seen a lot, it doesn't mean that they like to be lying behind the chest wall and take their lives with a casual pull of the plate!
No matter how this battle is fought, the Tianxiong Army will kill and wound them with their fingers, and even if they use their strength to eat, there is no way to rush to the front of the Tianxiong Army, how can they play!
Just when Gao Yingxiang ordered all the troops to attack in turn, Liu Zongmin, Zhang Xianzhong, Tian Jianxiu, Li Zicheng, Lao Hui Ma Shouying and other leaders began to discuss secretly.Late at night on June 28, the sixth year of Chongzhen, the leader of the Liukou army, Gao Yingxiang, was under the command of internal fire, after fierce killing in the middle of the night, He Yilong was killed, Tian Jianxiu was slandered, Ma Jinzhong, and Ma Shouying captured Gao Yingxiang and surrendered to Lu Xiangsheng.However, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Liu Zongmin, Luo Rucai, He Jin and other leaders were nowhere to be found.Although there are some small regrets, Lu Xiangsheng has achieved full success, and the main force of Gao Yingxiang under the command of Gao Yingxiang was annihilated in this battle, and more than 340,000 Liukou troops surrendered.More than 57,000 people were killed, and the main force of the Northwest Liukou was basically lost.History has turned a big corner here, and the troubles that originally shook the Ming Dynasty have basically calmed down, and the Ming Dynasty has ushered in a rare respite.Chongzhen was very excited, and Galu Xiang was promoted to the Marquis of Ten Thousand Years!
The intentions speak for themselves.For 10,000 years, this is the county of Chang'an City, similar to Huairou and Fangshan in Beijing, and it has a large population, with more than 40,000 households.Of course, how to settle the 340,000 captives is also the most troublesome problem for the government, because although these rogues are hungry soldiers, almost all of them have human lives on their hands, and no matter how they are placed, it will cause panic among the local people.More importantly, the 340,000 people are not randomly resettled, and a lot of money is needed.Just when Emperor Chongzhen didn't think that he could emigrate to Liaodong, but the problem is that he didn't know what kind of life Liaodong immigrants lived.It can be said that the people of Liaodong are now the most nourishing people in the Ming Dynasty, there are no harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, there is no endless labor, and the land is cultivated according to the acres of land, thirty taxes and one.That is to say, if a peasant earns 30 stone of grain and only needs to hand over 1 stone of grain, this tax is very low all over the world.After all these years of development, Liaodong has enough food, except for cold spots, the people live in new houses, every household has surplus food, eat and drink without worry, and send them to Liaodong with blood on their hands, Chongzhen has no doubt that Quan Xu has the ability to settle them, but is this too cheap for these rogues?
Can't be so cheap these rogues Chongzhen Sometimes, he is so cautious that he is outrageously cautious, and just when he has a headache, Quan Xu's performance is broken.The meaning of the words is that Your Majesty, give me people, and I will not immigrate to Liaodong, but send them to Luzon.Chongzhen looked at Cao Huachun and said, "Cao Daban, where do you say this Luzon is?"
”"Luzon lives in the South China Sea, and it is very close to Zhangzhou.In the first month of the fifth year of Hongwu, he sent an envoy to pay tribute to the countries of Zoli!
”"How far is it from Zhangzhou?"
Chongzhen naturally knew that Zhangzhou belonged to the southeast of Fujian, and it was also the place where the imperial court recidivized and distributed."
It's supposed to be three or four thousand miles!""
Three or four thousand miles, three or four thousand miles, isn't that eight thousand miles?"
Chongzhen waved his hand: "Yes!"
”As a result, the army of 340,000 hungry people under Gao Yingxiang was completed in this way, and 340,000 people emigrated to Luzon, which would increase the number of towns by at least 340.At the same time, these bloodless couges are naturally not good people, whether they face the natives or the Westerners, as long as they are armed, they will not suffer a big loss!
These rogues began to be sent to Luzon in batches, enjoying the pain of being dispatched for 8,000 miles.…… Helena was very angry, and her Marquis of Wuwei was closed.Zhu Weiyuan seemed to understand Quan Xu's attitude, she no longer had a good face for Helena, Helena was very painful, it was impossible to hire the whole family to fight in the navy, and it was impossible to buy new naval guns.Just as she was in despair, Helena inadvertently remembered the sheer shipbuilding capacity of her entire army.The city-state republic of Venice had more than a thousand merchant ships of all kinds, of course, the warships were on the small side, and the main Mediterranean was not very stormy.But the problem was that the population of Venice could not only be used for war, they needed to work, producing guns, artillery, and even warships and merchant ships.In desperation, Helena officially handed over a request to Quanxu for a meeting.At this time, Helena entered the Wuwei Hou Mansion openly.Just as she entered the Wuwei Hou Mansion, the sound of horses' hooves sounded.A red horse rushed into the Wuwei Marquis Mansion like a gust of wind, startling Helena.Helena was stunned, only to see Sanniang dressed in a military uniform, she was not actually wearing armor, but a stab-proof suit.Stab-proof suits are lighter and more flexible than armour."
I heard, your swordsmanship is good?"
Sanniang looked at Helena condescendingly.Helena was slightly stunned: "Of course, many knights in Venice are not my opponents!"
”"Haha!"
Sanniang smiled heartily: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, so let's practice?"
”"Practice?"
Sanniang patiently explained: "It's just a competition, let's learn!"
”"I can understand that you're challenging me?""
You can think so!"
Sanniang jumped off the horse: "You can choose not to fight, I won't bully you!"
