Chapter 558 Our Dongjiang Army has helped Quanxu Although he promised to give Yan Yingyuan a command of soldiers and horses, in fact, it was not a word, from recruitment to training, he didn't care about anything.On the contrary, this army is a bit large in number of poor people in the south of the Yangtze River, and as Quan Xu said that he wanted to recruit troops, the banner of recruitment was erected, and 20,000 or 30,000 people came.However, these 20,000 or 30,000 people are skinny and skinny, and have little potential to become soldiers.Quan Xu didn't mind, his principle was to choose an age between fourteen and twenty years old, while recovering nutrition, raising it for ten days and half a month, and training slowly."
I'll leave you a teaching department, they are all excellent officers, everyone can be familiar with the training mode of the Liaodong New Army, the troops are handed over to them for training, you are responsible for command, supply and equipment, you don't have to worry, I will help solve it!"
Quan Xu looked at Yan Yingyuan and said: "We can't have so many people here, these two or thirty thousand people need to be eliminated in training, and those who are unqualified must not be wanted, and the new army in Liaodong would rather be lacking than excessive!"
”"Humble and understood!""
The fort in Wusongkou, we have to rebuild, and we must play the role of the fort here in the future!"
Before Quan Xu could return the order, he heard a commotion.It turned out that seeing the Japanese samurai being annihilated by the whole family army, the Wu Songkou garrison, who had originally fled, came to the door, and he first stared at Yuan Zongdi: "Where are you in the army, and is there an order from the military department?"
”Yuan Zongdi said truthfully: "No!
”"Nope!"
The garrison jumped more than a foot high: "Without the order of the Ministry of War, you actually broke into Shen's defense area, what do you want to do?"
Rebellion?
”Quan Xu really knows these Ming generals too well, and in this battle, Yan Yingyuan and Yuan Zong killed more than 4,000 Japanese soldiers at once, which is a lot of military feats.He may not have been unaware of the whole family army.However, this Shen Shoubei should be a general who understands politics, he knows that Quan Xu has always been domineering, and there are countless enemies in the court, and he wants to share a military exploit and soar from then on.It doesn't matter if Quan Xu agrees or disagrees, he can splash and roll, report the battle results to the court, which is commonly known as touching porcelain, as long as the battle is reported to the court, almost everyone will believe that he is wronged, after all, a small garrison does not dare to provoke the first red man in the dynasty, Liaodong Jingluo pacification envoy, as well as Wuwei Hou, and the horse captain.Quan Xu's casual identity is enough to make Shen Shoubei drink a pot, but the problem is that there are too many people in the court who are unhappy with Quan Xu, as long as he dares to stand up and fight with Quan Xu, there will be a large number of officials to support him immediately."
Li Yanqing!""
Inferior!""
I heard that your Bajiquan can kill a cow with one punch?"
Li Yanqing is not a fool, listening to Quan Xu's words, his hand is a punch that hit the lower abdomen of the Shen Shoubei.Shen Shoubei suddenly lost blood on his face, curled up on the ground with his lower abdomen, and turned into a big prawn.After a long time, this big shrimp finally recovered his breath, and he was still shaking his official authority: "Who are you, who dare to beat Shangguan?"
I want you to die without a place to be buried!
”Quan Xu angrily kicked in the face of the Shen guard: "Lao Tzu is a doctor from Yipin Guanglu, do you dare to beat you, a guard who escaped from the battle?"
Do you have the right to beat up a guard who was so frightened by a rabble that he hid in the pig barn?
Yes?
”Quan Xu's kick was not light, he kicked the shrimp out five or six meters away, gnawed a mouthful of mud firmly, looked at Quan Xu with a frightened expression, and was speechless.Quan Xu wanted to kick a few more feet, but the guard actually vomited blood from his mouth and died after a while."
You're cheap, damn, a bunch of waste who just eat, such a strong fortress is easy for a bunch of rabble to occupy, I really want to kill him!"
In fact, Li Yanqing's punch cost Shen Shoubei's half life, and with Quan Xu's kick, he was frightened again, and he actually vomited blood and died.Wusongkou Fort is a huge construction site, where a military tax card will be set up for the whole family, in fact, there are a lot of ships coming and going on the Yangtze River, which are all flowing silver.These Jiangnan gentry neither paid taxes to the imperial court, but also avoided taxes at sea as much as possible, which made Quan Xu very unhappy.As long as they occupy Wusongkou and set up a tax card at the mouth of the Yangtze River, Quan Xu wants to see if they can fly over.Quan Xu was annoyed that the merchants in Jiangnan did not pay attention to the rules, and the silk of the Ming Dynasty was a high-end commodity in Europe, but with the rise of the colonies, countries like Spain, Portugal, and the Netherlands, as long as their people couldn't mix in the country, they could get rich immediately when they went around the colony.Now Europeans are also the gap between the rich and the poor, the rich are prosperous, drunk and dreaming, and the poor are worried about the next meal, as the unique patented technology of the Ming Dynasty, porcelain and silk, should control the price and raise the price as much as possible, but these Jiangnan merchants are good.They desperately lowered the price, and even sold silk cheaper than cotton, cheaper Westerners for nothing, Quan Xu was very angry, he needed to use this way, to control the pricing power of domestic silk.The Wusongkou fortress project is progressing rapidly, the warehouse that was originally leaking rain was quickly repaired, the weeds on the fort were swept away, and then heightened and reinforced, a 130-millimeter howitzer was condescending, blocking the river, and the trestle bridge was also completed in just a few days, and it was not a problem to drive and leave at all, and the efficiency of the whole family army was really amazing.The original garrison was forcibly occupied by Quan Xu, and then an independent brigade of the whole family army was established on this base, although Quan Xu stayed in Wusongkou, but the navy of the whole family army was not idle, a large number of detachments were looking for traces of the Zheng fleet on the sea, and the eight main gunboats of the Sea Shark III type that had just formed a scale were training day and night.Quan Xu didn't understand the naval battle at this time, but Helena did, and the Venetians knew better.In the past, naval warfare was mainly decided by jumping gangs, and artillery warfare was only an auxiliary means, so the accuracy and range of the pit dad of the front-loading smoothbore guns, as well as the lethality of the pit dad, it was too difficult to destroy the enemy fleet by means of artillery battles, and it was not good that the gunners were tired and the enemy ships were still intact, so it became the most effective means to let a large number of fierce sailors jump on the enemy ships and destroy them.However, in the naval battle between Britain and Spain, this tactic was overturned, and the British fleet creatively used a large number of naval guns with a caliber smaller than the Spanish fleet, but with a far superior range and rate of fire to the opponent.This subversive change of tactics won Britain the life-and-death war, depriving Spain of its hegemony in the Atlantic.Seeing this, European countries followed suit, and the tactics of line formation replaced the tactics of jumping gangs, and artillery replaced infantry as the protagonist of naval warfare for the first time, laying a solid foundation for the European fleet to dominate the seas.Now the Venetians have also brought this tactic to the Liaodong Navy, and the most learned by the sailors is formation training and gunnery.I have to say that the scene of more than a dozen or even dozens of warships lining up in a long column and firing at the same time is really shocking, and it can be described as gentle in terms of "thunderball"!
In late December of the sixth year of Chongzhen, it began to snow at Wusongkou on the Yangtze River, looking at the thermometer on the seal, minus 17 degrees, this is Shanghai, not the northeast.Even in later generations of Beijing, it is very rare to reach minus 17 degrees Celsius in winter.It took almost a month for the whole family navy to find Zheng Zhilong's fleet, which gave Quan Xu a little headache.Fortunately, at this time, Yang Yandong came back from Japan, and he took with him more than 400 warships of the Second Fleet of the whole family army, which were all Zheng Zhilong's old gunboats.Quan Xu personally went to the dock to greet him, and gave him a punch when he met, and smiled: "How is it, are you still having fun in Japan?"
”Yang Yandong laughed and said, "It's enjoyable, it's so enjoyable!"
”For more than a year, in order to solve the financial crisis in Liaodong, Quan Xu personally led 7,000 men and horses to Japan to cut people under the pretext of harassing the coastal areas under the pretext of harassing the coastal areas.However, as soon as he arrived in Kyushu, Japan, Quan Xu didn't even sit on the buttocks, and there was a large-scale massacre of Chinese in Luzon, Quan Xu left Yang Yandong in Kyushu, Japan, and ordered Yang Yandong to continue to cut people in Kyushu.Yang Yandong and Shi Lang played on Kyushu Island for more than half a year, and then transferred to Hokkaido, and then the whole family was tired of playing, and the killing was out of the psychological shadow, Quan Xu directly gave him a move, you are cool enough, let the brothers of the Dongjiang Army come over and have a good time.The Dongjiang Army has always been poor, there is no way, they did not find the capital of the economy, I heard that Japan may get rich, Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming, Kong Youde and Mao Yonglu of the Dongjiang Army led a total of more than 17,000 people of the Dongjiang Army, arrived in Japan, burned, killed and looted, and made a lot of sorrow!
During the more than half a year-long campaign of the Dongjiang Army, more than 250 large Japanese towns were razed to the ground, and at least 550,000 young men and women were captured as slaves.That's right, a tael of silver for a slave is tantamount to sprinkling a thick handful of salt on a wound that is still bleeding in Japan.The most unfortunate is Hokkaido, originally this place was so poor that even pirates couldn't look down on it, but they couldn't stand the Dongjiang Army's ability to collect loot, and they were stunned to rob 90,000 stone of rice and more than 200 fishing boats in this ghost place!
The Japanese hated and feared the Dongjiang Army as "man-eating ants", and there was still a little scum left after the locusts swept away, but this man-eating ant army swept away, and there was not even any scum left!
At this moment, Mao Yonglu, the general of the Dongjiang Army, led the three traitors to Quan Xu: "Quan Shuai!
”Mao Yonglu said excitedly: "I heard that Quan Shuai is going to deal with Zheng Zhi's bastard, our Dongjiang Army is idle and idle, come and help the field!"
