I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 13: no sooner said than done

Xue Wu, who broke through to the north, was also unhappy, and they also encountered a volley of fireballs.

When a defeated army encounters an organized army, the end is often tragic.

The soldiers only wanted to escape, but didn't even think about resisting. In fact, if they rushed past in a swarm of nights, they could at least rush out more than half.

In the dark night, the filling of the firecrackers was also greatly affected, and the shooting speed was at least twice slower than during the day.

But the Qing army didn't know that after they suffered a round of volleys, they were immediately frightened and fled in other directions. The power of the flintlock has already given them a psychological shadow.

The chaos continued until dawn and slowly ended. The camp had been burned only with black wooden sticks, and outside the camp were kneeling Qing soldiers who had surrendered.

Rough statistics show that there were more than 300 captured Qing troops, and more than 300 bodies were also found. In other words, nearly three hundred people escaped in the chaos.

Liu Han's trio had limited hands, and it was really impossible to catch them, and the darkness also caused great trouble for the capture.

Among the more than 300 prisoners, only about a hundred were captured by Liu Hansan, and the others chose to surrender under the deterrence of the Firecrackers.

The Qing army can be said to be annihilated, and the casualties on the side of the Rebel army are not small.

Even if they succeeded in a sneak attack, in the chaos, anything really could happen.

Wang Dayong's Ministry, which was responsible for setting fires and creating chaos, caused a large number of soldiers to have various accidents because the tasks were too complicated. Among his 90-odd people, 30 people were lost. He didn't know how most of the soldiers died.

Thirty people were killed in the battle, and the number of people who died in the previous two Jiading defense battles did not add up to so many people this time.

Someone from the Fire Blast team also experienced an operation error and a blast occurred. One died and three were injured.

Two of Liu Hansan's men also died, both of which were accidentally killed by the rout.

Zhan Guo is still counting. Guo Tie, who led the way last night, has identified Zhang Yuqin's body.

No one knows how Zhang Yuqin died. From the analysis of the wound, he should have been hit by a fire blunder. He fell off his horse and knocked his head. In that chaos, any way of death is possible.

Xue Wu's luck was better, he was not hit by the fire bludgeon, and was finally captured by Liu Hansan's life.

Of course, this is not good luck for Xue Wu. If he can choose, he would rather die like Zhang Yuqin. Falling into Wu Changqing's hands, it must be better than death.

Xue Wu was brought in front of Wu Changqing. He still refused to kneel down, and Wang Dafu directly hit his knee with the back of a knife without saying a word.

There was a sound of broken bones, followed by Xue Wu's screams.

"Xue Wu, what else do you want to say?"

Wu Changqing asked.

"The mortal person, there is nothing to say. I will wait for you first. Anyway, you won't be jumping for long. You think you can rely on these hundreds of people to fight against Li Zongbing and against the Qing Dynasty?"

Xue Wu sneered. He didn't beg for mercy either, because he knew that begging was for nothing. Wu Changqing would never let go of himself after doing that kind of utterly conscience.

"I said that if you want to divide your five horses, you will definitely be divided into five horses. I said that if you want to destroy the Manchu Qing, you will definitely be able to destroy the Manchu. It's a pity that you don't have the opportunity to appreciate my style."

Wu Changqing waved his hand and sent someone to execute the sentence.

The big victory this time has doubled his confidence. The most difficult moment has passed, and then he has a period of respite and development.

When Xue Wu was dragged down, he was still thinking of Wu Changqing's words. It wasn't until this moment that he realized that he had provoke a terribly ruthless person, but unfortunately he knew all this too late.

After dealing with Xue Wu's first evil, Wu Changqing ordered the identification of those officers who had voluntarily ordered the massacre of the people, as well as the soldiers who killed a lot of people.

These prisoners, Wu Changqing, needed to be treated differently, killing those heinous criminals in order to deter other people, and also telling other prisoners their rules that slaughtering people is absolutely not allowed.

Except for these heinous people, the rest is added to the army.

These soldiers are also trained soldiers. If the Rebels do not have firearms, they may not be the opponents of these soldiers.

After finishing a series of trivial matters, it was noon.

"My lord, now there are no strong enemies around Jiading, we can divide our forces to capture them."

Liu Hansan said excitedly that the situation of the uprising at this time was getting better and better, and he couldn't help but imagine what reward the court would give. I am afraid that a guerrilla general is indispensable.

This time, Wu Changqing did not veto Liu Hansan's proposal, after all, expansion was already in his plan.

"Liu Hansan, you take a hundred people to Kunshan, Li Shaobin, you take a hundred people to Taicang, Wang Dayong, you take a hundred people to Changshu. After capturing these places, you will immediately expand your army, and then leave a small number of troops to garrison, and the others will go south to gather Kunshan. Finally, we concentrated our forces to attack Suzhou."

Wu Changqing assigned tasks to everyone. There are no regular troops in those small counties, there are only some government officials, and there is no difficulty in occupying them.

There is a regular army around Suzhou, where 3,000 soldiers and horses of Wu Shengzhao, admiral of Su Songchang Town, are stationed.

Wu Shengzhao is a native of Liaodong. He was originally a military attache in the Ming army. Later, the Qing army entered the customs and surrendered to the Qing army.

He is currently serving as Admiral Su Song. According to the original historical trajectory, he will destroy Wu Yi's rebel army next year and incorporate Wu Yi's army.

Later, he was dissatisfied with being punished by the Qing court for corruption, and was again killed by his subordinates against the Qing.

In the late Ming Dynasty, there were many capricious people like Li Chengdong and Wu Shengzhao. The fundamental reason is that they do not have the concept of the country and the nation, and whoever benefits themselves will sell their lives.

Wu Changqing also thought about whether to persuade Wu Shengzhao to surrender, but after thinking about it, it was still impossible. After all, the Qing court has not punished him yet, and he does not have much dissatisfaction with the Qing court for the time being.

Moreover, Wu Changqing doesn't really like this kind of capricious person.

If he stabbed himself from behind suddenly one day, that would be disgusting.

The talents he wants are those with more backbone. For example, Gu Yanwu, Chen Zilong, and Yang Minghua are all fighting against Qing from beginning to end.

Yang Minghua has assisted Emperor Longwu in Fujian. Wu Changqing does not know the whereabouts of Chen Zilong. The only thing he has impression is Gu Yanwu. He remembers that he should be in Changshu at this time.

Therefore, after Wu Changqing arranged the task, he separately confessed that Wang Dayong would inquire about Gu Yanwu's whereabouts in Changshu, and then asked him to come out of the mountain.

At present, Wu Changqing's staff is very short of civilian officials, while Gu Yanwu is a very talented literati. Not only is he proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics, but he also likes to dabble in strange books. He is a rare historian, geographer, thinker and musician in the Ming Dynasty.

How to govern a country, Wu Changqing only knows a vague outline. He also needs professionals like Gu Yanwu if he wants to make the administrative system on the site work.
