Chapter 178 Grandma Qin
On the same day that Yang Feng set out to start the Western Expedition, the news that the Ming army conquered Seed Island also spread to Nanjing.
According to Chen Tingyang's report, the battle of Seed Island in the Ming army was like a child's play.
There were a total of 500 defenders on the island, including only dozens of warriors, and the rest were all cannon fodder. When the Ming army landed, they bravely launched a counterattack. Dozens of warriors, carrying small flags behind the feet, roaring and waving spears that looked a bit like spears, rushed to less than half of the Ming army that had just assembled.
Then he was shocked by a 20-pound mortar that had just been carried off the ship.
When the flowering bullet exploded in the middle of the foot light, they immediately turned around and ran away.
Then at this moment, the two field artillery of the Ming army's battalion also came ashore, and then two barrels of shotguns were blurred as the warriors came.
The ferocity of the Ming invaders was shocked and shocked the warriors. Then the samurai who had not yet died immediately ran away. They ran back to a small castle that looked like a landlord's house. However, the castle had neither a moat nor a decent city wall, but there were more wooden fences. When the Ming army completed its landing and placed a total of twenty field guns and eighteen mortar guns in the next round of volleys of the city, the wooden fences were basically all abandoned. In order to ensure that Huang Xu blasted ten rounds of shells before launching an attack.
Then……
Then nothing happened.
More than 3,000 Ming army infantry charged and stepped on the dead bodies of the Japanese army everywhere, easily flooding the small castle, and enjoyed the separatist performances of several defeated warriors.
As for the reinforcements of the Japanese army...
Shimazu Kokuha sent several ships, but unfortunately, he was knocked out by Zhang Mingzhen who was waiting outside. It is estimated that before Tokugawa Ikawa got the news and made a decision and sent the navy to arrive, Shimazu Kokuha would not continue to send troops. Even if he wanted to send troops, he would not be able to do so. Now both sides are discussing the cause of the war. However, because of Chen Tingyang's arrogant attitude and Shimazu Kokuha's inexplicable attitude, it is difficult for both sides to discuss the result. After all, no matter how they discuss it, it is...
They are all talked about by chickens and ducks.
Since this is the case, Yang Feng no longer continued to care about this. The fleet he was riding along the Yangtze River countercurrent to Yiling, and then His Majesty the Emperor disappeared.
With him, two brigades of infantry were also gone.
A month later, when the fleet of the main force of the Ming army was slowly dragged by the boatmen through famous shallows, and then appeared in Kuimen and began to tentatively bombard the Daxi Army fortress of Qutang Pass with mortar cannons, the Emperor, who had been missing for a whole month, rode his rhino that had been exhausted and lost a circle, and brought two infantry brigades with another ten thousand old Ming army, and appeared in a place that no one expected.
"This is the poor mountain and the bad water!"
Following the 100-mile deserted road opened when Fu Youde attacked Sichuan, His Majesty, who had been trekking in the mountains for a month, stood on the bank of a river and looked at a small town on the other side and sighed.
Around him were the mountains and hills that seemed endless, and it could be said that they were truly three feet wide. They were all undulating mountains. Among these mountains were harvested terraces. On the rugged and winding mountain roads, you could occasionally see hunters carrying shovels on their shoulders, bows and arrows on their waists, and hunters carrying various beasts on the darts. On the opposite city wall, a large number of soldiers carrying bird guns and holding white wax spears like hooks and sickles in their hands were looking at them curiously.
This is a stone pillar.
In front of him was a wooden bridge.
The city gate at the end of the wooden bridge has been opened. A tall, looking about seventy years old, with white hair on his head, but wearing court uniforms, and his chest represents the highest level of the lion's tutelage, an old lady who is a first-rank military officer, walked over with a crutch that is probably purely a decoration, surrounded by a large group of men and women in the official uniform, walking towards her like the wind.
Yang Fengrao looked at this domineering old lady with interest.
The latter looked at him but was stunned for a moment.
"Qin Aiqing, don't know me anymore?"
Yang Feng sat upright on the rhino and said with a smile.
The old lady then woke up and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to the ground. At the same time, everyone behind her, along with the soldiers on the city wall at the end, all kowtowed to the ground.
"I am the right Zhuguo, Guanglu Dafu, the general officer of the Sichuan and other places, hold the seal of the General of the East, the left governor of the Central Army Governor's Office, and the young guard Qin Liangyu bows to His Majesty."
The old lady whispered.
"Qin Aiqing is calm, I have worked hard all these years."
Yang Feng said with satisfaction.
As he said that, he got off the rhino and helped her up.
Grandma Qin has not been easy for many years. At this time, all the entire Sichuan area, including those chieftains, have basically surrendered to Zhang Xianzhong. Only her stone pillars still hold the Ming flag. Before, her white pole soldiers suffered heavy losses due to a group of pig teammates in the battle to defend Chongqing. Only some remaining soldiers were left. Relying on the steep terrain of the stone pillars, they fought with Zhang Xianzhong for nearly three years, and they could be regarded as a lonely and lonely person.
"The old minister is responsible for his duties. Even if he dies in the battlefield, he will not dare to let His Majesty down!"
Grandma Qin said with tears in her eyes.
"Well, if the Ming Dynasty was all loyal ministers like my beloved, how could the bandits be rampant? But I can rest assured that Jiannu has let me destroy me, and the rebellion has also let me destroy me. Although there are still some remnants who are still surviving, it is no longer enough to worry. My Ming Dynasty will return to a peaceful and prosperous era, and I can also enjoy the peace and prosperity. Come with the map!"
Yang Feng said as he stretched out his hand behind.
A staff officer immediately presented the map.
"Qin Aiqing, choose your own choice. Except for those specially marked places, except for my palace. If your husband's family is Ma Yuan, I will grant you a Fubo Marquis. The place you choose is your fief. The system I have set, the marquis of 35,000 acres, the place you choose will be divided into 35,000 acres of fertile land and will be inherited by your descendants from generation to generation!"
Yang Feng said.
Grandma Qin was stupid. Although she had seen the emperor before, she remembered that the emperor had neither this figure nor this style. If it weren't for the two uncles and nephews of the Tong family who were standing next to the emperor, she would have suspected that she would have met a fake emperor.
"I am only given by Your Majesty!"
She quickly returned the map and said.
"Then let's live long. It's close to you. It's convenient for you to go there and your name is auspicious. I'll send an order to grant Qin Liangyu the Marquis of Changshou!"
Yang Feng looked at the map and said.
So the first baroness minister of the Ming Dynasty appeared like this. Qin Liangyu set too many precedents. Whether it is the Right Pillar Kingdom, the Guanglu Dafu or the Left Governor, the Shaobao were all truly unique, let alone a general officer with complete power.
With Qin Liangyu's sob, the emperor's army entered Shizhu City through the wooden bridge. In fact, this is the modern Shizhu County. However, at this time, it was not a prefecture, but a separate Shizhu Xuanfu Envoy. Qin Liangyu's husband's family, the Ma family inherited the Xuanfu Envoy, but her husband and only son died at this time. The former was falsely accused of being in prison, while the latter died in Xiangyang. Now there are two grandsons left. Then her grandson Ma Wannian was simply named Xuanfu Envoy by Yang Feng. As for the other grandson, Ma Wanchun, it is simpler. He will follow the emperor to return to Beijing and then train and reuse it when he has a suitable position.
Of course, Yang Feng did not give so many benefits to Grandma Qin for nothing.
He had to ask Grandma Qin to send troops.
"I personally led a large army to attack Chengdu!"
Yang Feng said on the map.
"Your Majesty, you should not take risks!"
Tong Tianyue, the head of the Nanjing Ministry of War, said in horror.
He was from Shizhouwei. He and his nephew Shizhouwei commander Tong Fuyuan were the commander of Yang Feng. They were all from Shizhouwei. In history, these people and the thirteen Kuidong families had been united in fighting against the Qing Dynasty. Although Shizhouwei surrendered in the end, they also resisted until 1662. Although the farmers of these old garrisons did not fight, Yang Feng's ammunition and medicine were all responsible for transportation. From Yiling to Shizhouwei, from Shizhouwei to Shizhu's post road, the ammunition and food of the Ming army of the two infantry brigades had to be carried by people, or carried by small donkeys and horses, and the ten thousand old garrisons were his transportation team.
Yang Feng looked at Grandma Qin.
"Your Majesty, I think I've taken risks."
Grandma Qin said frankly.
"It was indeed a clever plan to follow Deng Ai to attack Shu, but Zhang Xianzhong was not the last lord of Shu. At this time, the bandit army was indeed in Kuimen and Chongqing. As far as the old ministers knew, the bandit army in Chengdu was less than 50,000, and they were all used only to suppress Shu people. Zhang Ni was in charge of scourges and levies to the Shu people. The king's army would have to welcome him. The old ministers could raise up 10,000 soldiers, and his majesty brought nearly 20,000 troops to attack Zhongzhou first. The bandit army in Zhongzhou was only 10,000. The full attack would definitely be able to overcome. Conquer Zhongzhou straight to Dianjiang and then towards Nanchong. Although the mountains along the way were blocked, the old ministers' troops were not afraid of the mountains. After arriving in Nanchong, they could attack Chengdu directly along the official road. The main force of the bandit army would definitely not have time to reinforce from Chongqing."
With the help of the people, Chengdu will inevitably go down in one battle.
But Your Majesty is supreme, you cannot take such risks. The old minister is familiar with the situation in Shu. Although he is old and weak, he still rides a war horse. I am willing to serve His Majesty and his party."
Then she said.
Yang Feng smiled, then stood up and walked outside.
Qin Liangyu and Tong Tianyue hurried out.
Yang Feng looked at both sides and stared at a stone lion next to him. He walked over and grabbed it with both hands. After trying, it was slightly heavier than his big axe. His Majesty the Emperor roared without hesitation and took a few steps in the midst of countless amazement. Then he roared again, throwing his arms out at the same time. The stone lion flew out like a cannonball, and in a blink of an eye it hit a wall more than ten meters away. With a loud bang, the wall turned into countless gravel and spewed out. The stone lion hit the ground at the same time, and kept slashing forward with the plowed soil, and then cut several meters before stopping.
"Qin Aiqing, are you still afraid that I will be in danger?"
Chapter completed!
