Han’s Son is Not a Slave: Chapter 248 let the city
The Taiping army had the power to defend the city, and the navy had the power to come to the rescue. Although the navy came ashore after the Qing army's four-sided defense line collapsed on three sides, it was very chilling that the navy did not move, but no matter what, the landing of the navy was saved. The annihilation of the Taiping Army, so Zhou Shixiang, as the master, proposed that the spoils be captured equally by both sides.
At Zhou Shixiang's suggestion, Chen Qice smiled and said nothing, but Wu Yuan, the named commander-in-chief sitting on his right, spoke.
Wu Yuan is a native of Shaoguan, Guangdong. In the first year of Shaowu, he joined Chen Qice with 400 troops, and was later appointed by the Yongli court as the chief officer of Ganzhou. Ganzhou is in the Qing army control area in Jiangxi, so Wu Yuan, the Ganzhou general, is not really stationed in Ganzhou, so it is called the registered general. As long as the Ming army really recaptures Ganzhou in the future, it will be called Wu Yuan. If there is a real shortage, if Ganzhou can't be recaptured, then Wu Yuan can only be his designated general soldier.
In fact, to put it bluntly, the named general soldier is a false title that the Yongli court arbitrarily awarded rewards in order to attract people's hearts. Named generals like Wu Yuan have captured a lot in the Nanming army. The main force of the Ming army, which was adapted from the Daxi Army, is better to say. of.
Chen Qice was not good at expressing any opinion on Zhou Shixiang's proposal, because this kind of thing was not something that General Ling Hai would like to talk about. It was not suitable for him to talk about his identity or age. A board is. This battle is already a big victory, and the division of the spoils is already a small detail. If the subordinates want to fight, they will let them fight, and it doesn't matter if they can't fight.
Thinking like this, the white-haired veteran still hopes to get some more supplies from the Taiping Army. The navy's re-entry into the Tanjiang River this time can be said to have emptied all the savings of Chen Qice's old nest on the upper and lower Chuan Island. After all, thousands of mouths in the entire army need food every day, and even more equipment is needed to train soldiers. No matter how generous General Ling Hai is, he has to think about his subordinates. He can't let thousands of people go back hungry.
Zhou Shixiang proposed to divide the battle equally. Chen Qice agreed, but he couldn't help but argue about the details. Under his suggestion, Wu Yuan got up and mentioned something he couldn't say. Wu Yuan asked: "Our army came to the sea to support your army. As a rule, your army should provide some food and equipment for our army, but I don't know how to calculate this? Is it included in the seizure or calculated separately?"
"Well…"
The question raised by Wu Yuan gave Zhou Shixiang a headache, and he was right. It was a great kindness for the navy to come to rescue the Taiping Army, and his master could not neglect others. Whether it was in the past or now, the approach of both the Ming and Qing Dynasties was the same when it came to treating the guest army. The problem was that Zhou Shixiang was also terribly poor, and he was jealous when the Qing army captured him, so how could he give it all to the navy.
The Taiping army, old and young, also had nearly 10,000 mouths waiting for the food to be eaten. In the future, when they opened up anti-Qing bases, they would also need a lot of equipment and materials. Where can Zhou Shixiang be generous. Again, by example, how much is this example? If you give too much, your family will feel distressed, and if you give less, you will be looked down upon. It's hard.
With a headache, Zhou Shixiang didn't know how to speak for a while. When Duke Xiang of Song saw this, he hurriedly helped him, and asked Chen Qice with a smile, "I wonder how much the old general thinks is appropriate?"
"Hey, let's talk about this, the old man has been greedy for a few days, so let's put a tight pad on his stomach first." Chen Qice snorted, and calmly picked up his chopsticks and pushed the question back.
Song Xianggong pondered for a moment. Said: "The supplies left by the Qing army, whether it is food, weapons or war horses and livestock, as long as they can be used, our army will be divided equally with your army."
Not finished yet. He was interrupted by Wu Yuan, he said: "Now you and I are both clearing the battlefield outside the city, how many can be captured, we people sitting here don't know, it is an equal division, but what is the equal division method? ? Besides. What happens after the tie is divided?"
Song Xianggong was a little confused when he heard the words: "What does Zongbing Wu mean?"
"You take yours, we'll take ours, and then divide some of the spoils you have captured to supply our army, so we don't come here in vain, what do you think?" Wu Yuan took out his own Identify the most suitable plan. This plan can seamlessly achieve the greatest benefits for the navy. Naturally, he will not spit out what the navy outside the city grabs. It depends on how much oil and water the Taiping Army can have. The thin dead camel was bigger than the horse, and the Qing army was dragged into poverty by the Taiping army, and the materials left behind would definitely not be less.
After listening to this plan, Chen Qice felt that it was a bit too much, but seeing that all the generals were inclined to this plan, they acquiesced.
All the supplies on the battlefield were taken by each of the two families. After the Taiping Army was finished, some water supply divisions were allocated from their own share, and it was not known how much the extra part was allocated. This made Song Xianggong hesitate. Dare to be the master for Zhou Shixiang casually.
The eyes of everyone on the mat once again focused on Zhou Shixiang, but the latter frowned deeply and thought about something. This appearance naturally made Chen Qice's subordinates dissatisfied~www.mtlnovel.com~ Chen Qice stared at Zhou Shixiang with great interest, wanting to see what this brave showman thought. If Zhou Shixiang really had any difficulties, he would not persecute too much, they were all soldiers and horses fighting against the Qing Dynasty, and no one would have any difficulties.
After a while, Zhou Shixiang raised his eyebrows, as if he had made up his mind, stood up to face Chen Qice and the others, and said in a loud voice, "The old general led his troops to support my Taiping Army from afar. Reasonable, but the younger generation's Taiping army has also suffered heavy losses in recent months, and is in urgent need of food and grass, so I am afraid that this younger generation will not be able to agree to your army's request." Speaking of this, before Wu Yuan and others changed their color, the conversation turned and said: " But the old general sees how it goes, the younger generation would like to use Xinhuicheng to thank the old general for his aid."
Hearing this, Chen Qice suddenly stood up with an expression of disbelief, and said in surprise, "Brother Zhou, is this true?"
Wu Yuan and other generals from the Department of Chen also stood up in surprise, all looking at Zhou Shixiang in shock. On the side of the Taiping Army, in addition to Song Xianggong who knew about Zhou Shixiang's decision, Qin Zhisheng and others who accompanied him were also surprised. It should be noted that Xinhui’s strategic position is extremely important. It is not only the southwest gateway of Guangzhou, but also close to the Tanjiang River. If you advance on land, you can threaten Guangzhou. If you retreat, you can guard the westward passage of the Qing army. A treasured place to retreat. It is precisely because the Xinhui is so important that Li Dingguo concentrated on attacking the Xinhui in the second attack on Guangdong, and Shang Kexi in Guangzhou also worked hard to secure this important place. Zhou Shixiang gave up when he said it was so important? To be continued.
