Chapter 168 Alliance (1)

A number of ships led by the "Cadis Rock" sailed into Dinghai Harbour one by one, and then anchored and moored.

They had just returned from Yantai Port and brought two thousand soldiers to the Southern War Zone of the Fourth Brigade, and also sent the Fifth Brigade (adapted by German mercenaries) back to Shandong. Shao Shude was very worried about this brigade composed almost all of Germans, so he planned to break up and reorganize the three brigades of the First Corps in Shandong. If he temporarily loses some combat power, he will lose a little. This is no big deal. It is better than those who will not lose or obey commands in the future.

Along with the Fourth Battalion of the Stand Up Team, there were 4,000 Niu Chenghu's troops from the 9th Division of the New Army. The 10th Division of Ding Weiyue's new army was defeated by the Qing army a while ago in Guanhaiwei, and hundreds of soldiers were damaged. This time, Shao Shude planned to transfer them back to Huang County, Shandong to train and replenish the troops. The new Niu Chenghu's 9th Division has strong combat effectiveness and is closely related to some Qing army green camps in Shandong (all of them were surrendered by the Shun Army). Shao Shude had doubts, so he transferred them to Ningbo and stationed in Cixi County, and went straight to the front line to catch fire with the Qing army.

In recent times, the Qing army's offensive against Ningbo Prefecture has become increasingly fierce, and has continued to enter Fenghua and Yinxian through mountain paths. Fortunately, the Fourth Division, which guarded the local area, responded quickly and suppressed effectively, so it did not allow the Qing army to gain a foothold. When the local gentry who hated the East Coast at the extreme hatred of the East Coast saw that "My Qing" had successively lost seven or eight thousand people in Fenghua County and Yinxian, they immediately clamped their tails and were honest. Otherwise, the fate of Li Dashan, who was exterminated in Xikou Town, was a lesson for the past.

In this process, the adaptability, marching ability and combat skills of the two units of the Fourth Division and the Sixth Division were greatly improved, and now they have vaguely seen what a mature army should be. Perhaps they cannot be called elite, but this group of bandits, bandits, surrendered soldiers and mud legs. After so many years of training, their combat effectiveness has been significantly stronger than the Qing army's southern green camp. Even the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Camp with strong combat effectiveness can be nowhere to be seen.

At this time, Zhang Mingzhen saw such a scene on the dock. Although he had experienced a long-distance voyage, the 4th Battalion of the Stand-up Team and the 6,000 New Army 9th Division of the Stand-up Team, which was boarding the ship south from Dengzhou Port and Jiaozhou Port, were still neat. Zhang Mingzhen looked at their neat military formations arranged on the dock and their proficiency in changing formations in the officers' commands and copper whistles, and knew that this army had spent a lot of money to train, and did not suffer large-scale casualties in the middle, so that the troops were cut off from their inheritance. It can be said that it was a very good army, at least much better than the beggar-like troops under his command who could not even get enough military uniforms.

"This Eastern Dynasty called itself a Miao family in the Song Dynasty. Now, I look at it. I was wearing a robe and my hair was damaged at will. I guess the Chinese Taoist tradition in the country has been eliminated and is no different from the barbarians." Behind Zhang Mingzhen, a scholar wearing a green robe sighed with compassion. Looking at his expression, he seemed to have seen some amazing tragedy on earth.

"Hmph, more than that!" Another scholar said angrily: "Mr. Yuuyuan (Zhang Kentang) once said that the Eastern Dynasty had been living overseas for many years, and its clothing, words, and laws were not comparable to China. It is undoubtedly a matter of severance of Taoism! My brother has also read the Eastern Dynasty's documents. The words are straightforward and the literature is not clear, which is simply a disgrace to this kind of literary and literary style! What's more, the Eastern Dynasty people divided the people's fields in Yin County, Fenghua, and Cixi counties, and they were doing things that were so tragic! What's more, the people who are so mean and ruthless are they? "

The angry scholar was born in Yin County, Ningbo Prefecture. He was unwilling to shave his hair and was concerned about the old Ming Dynasty and fled to serve under the command of King Lu of Zhoushan. He is currently temporarily accusing him of Zhang Mingzhen, the Marquis of Dingxi. Although his family had long sold his ancestral property and avoided Zhoushan, and suffered any losses in the tide of division of land, he was still very unhappy with the people of the East Coast, and had a feeling of hurting their kind. Therefore, he sharply criticized the policies of the people of the East Coast at this moment.

His criticism aroused the consent of more people behind him. These so-called reading seeds began to comment on everything on the dock. If you listen carefully, they were nothing more than negative words such as "strange skills", "indecent", "whats and beasts", and "wolfs, tigers and leopards".

Zhang Mingzhen, who was walking in front of him, saw that it was not a big deal, so he coughed heavily. He calmed down the chaotic discussion. Hu Boruan, who was walking with him, smiled secretly and said nothing. He was a rough man from a pirate. Although he was deeply appreciated by Zhang Mingzhen, he was always fooled by these sarcastic people. He had been furious for a long time. Seeing that these sarcastic people were still talking about the people of the Eastern Dynasty, he sneered in his heart: The Eastern Dynasty was extremely fierce, with Marshal Mo in front and Marshal Shao behind, who beat the Tartar court to the point of losing one's other and being in a hurry. Such great achievements can also be discussed by you, the sarcastic people who have no power to tie up? It is ridiculous!

This time, they followed Dingxi Hou to Ningbo, and were mainly invited by General Liu (Liu Haiyang) of the Eastern Dynasty to discuss major events. As for what major events were being discussed, Ruan Jin, as the core general of the Lu King, knew that it was actually very simple, that is General Liu of the Eastern Dynasty planned to join forces with various armed forces, while the Qing army brigade was gathered in the Shaoxing Prefecture area, and used the main force to attack Zhenjiang and Nanjing along the Yangtze River to restrain and mobilize the Qing army's forces, and then find fighter opportunities to make breakthroughs, eliminate part of the Qing army, and achieve the stage goal.

At the same time, they would also find ways to contact the remnants of the rebel army who were fighting with the main force of the Qing army in Huguang. They heard that those people had more than 200,000 troops, which was very impressive. Now they are fighting fiercely with more than 100,000 troops in the Tartar court. Although they lost several consecutive games, their foundation was not damaged, and their spirit of fighting repeatedly was commendable, and there was still a lot of potential. If they contacted them, when the main force in Zhejiang went up to Shuojiang, they also launched a counterattack at the same time, the Qing army would be more fun. If the Eastern Dynasty people had a greater energy and persuaded the Guoxian Master and Li Chengdong and other local forces to cooperate in launching counterattacks in various places, the situation might have changed a lot.

Although Ruan Jin was an unknown pirate, he had never lacked any vision after so many years of war and fighting. He always felt that if the country was corrupt, it was certain that the eight banners of the Manchu and Mongolia were unstoppable, but the anti-Qing forces of all parties did not trust each other and even rushed to take advantage of the situation.

To be honest, when the thieves were chased by the main force of the Tartars, the civil and military officials of the Hongguang Dynasty did not seize the opportunity and collected Shandong and Henan, which were so weak that no soldiers defended, and then threatened the safety of the Tartars court. This was already a pity. When the thieves were defeated and fled, the other main force of the Tartars had cleaned up Henan and Shandong went straight to Jiangbei, the civil and military officials of the court were still quarreling. He was really confused. If these people were not ministers of the destruction of the country, who believed it? If it weren't for his unwilling hair and changing clothes, he would have been obedient to the Tartars, he would have been scattered with these people who had not done anything but failed!

Now General Liu of the Eastern Dynasty held up the banner of righteousness and contacted heroes from all sides to fight the Tartars together, which was a great good thing in Ruan Jin's view. It was nothing more than that. It was to concentrate troops, unified command, and then use the benefits of the boats to form advantages in the local area, use the strong to attack the weak, and use the number of others to attack the weak! General Liu's idea was the right way of military strategy. Even his benefactor Dingxi Hou praised it, saying that he would send troops to join forces to fight the Tartars together. Under such a general trend, these sour Ding Wenren even commented on the people of the Eastern Dynasty with a shy face. It was really ridiculous.

Of course, in addition to attacking the Qing Dynasty, the alliance with the East Dynasty also has another advantage, that is, it can take the opportunity to replenish supplies from the East Dynasty people. Even some damaged swords, guns, swords and halberds will help you repair or even replace them when the East Dynasty people are in a good mood. Who doesn’t want to experience such a good thing?

Ruan Jin vaguely remembered that last time he was invited by General Liu to fight in Ningbo, Taizhou, Songjiang and Hangzhou, and all the troops made a fortune. Especially the two troops who landed on the shore to fight, Pingxibo (Rong Dynasty) not only seized countless supplies, but also moved tens of thousands of gentry and people who were unwilling to be slaves to the Tatars to escape. Huang Binqing, who was originally stationed in Zhoushan and had always spoken coldly to the Lujian State, also rarely brought some pigs and sheep to the Lujian State army to reward the army. It was a rare obedient attitude in recent years. When I think of it, I couldn't help but feel sad.

Now the huge situation that Dingxi Hou has captured in Taizhou Prefecture and Wenzhou Prefecture has strictly relied on the reputation of the Yellow-Clothed Army of the Eastern Dynasty. If they hadn't been actively operating in Ningbo Prefecture and continued to threaten the wealthy Hangzhou Prefecture, Shaoxing Prefecture, Jiaxing Prefecture, Songjiang Prefecture, Huzhou Prefecture and other places, Zhang Cunren, Jiergalang and others were full and mobilized 80,000 Green Camps, and nearly 20,000 Manchu, Mongolian and Han Eight Banners were besieging Ningbo? With this time, they would have gone south to sweep Wentai and set up Fujian and Guangdong? After all, everyone was pointing to the Yellow-Clothed Army of the Eastern Dynasty, and now they came to join him, which was the intention.

"Cough... Cough..." The god of the king flew outside the sky, En Zhengzhang Mingzhen's thick voice suddenly sounded in Ruan Jin's ears: "General Liu from the Eastern Dynasty came to welcome him in person. Well, there is also the envoy of the Prince of Yanping, who seems to be Lu Muzhou. You must be solemn and must not fall into the prestige of the Lu Supervisor. Be careful!"

When Ruan Jin heard this, he immediately raised his head and looked forward, looking ahead, looking quite majestic. The sour scholars who were originally chattering behind him were all dressed and walked forward with a smile, looking at him, and looked a bit hypocritical. (To be continued)
