Xie Ming

Chapter 372 Li Limu Ding said
In the hall of the Jinan Provincial Government, Xiao Jingchuan explained the matter of taking advantage of the situation to recover the counties and prefectures on the east and west lines of Shandong, and also talked about the recruitment situation of Hu Chen and Li Hongsheng's troops!
But before Xiao Lang could finish his story, the black servant Hu Chen, who was sitting next to him, interrupted him and started to mock him, looking so smug and proud that it was really laughable!
It's not that Hu Chen is too arrogant, but I really can't stand seeing him showing off like this!

Xiao Jingchuan changed the subject at the right time and poured a basin of cold water on him!
"Eh!"

"Definitely!"

"Hu Chen, don't be too happy too soon!"

"I haven't said all I want to say!"

"In this battle, Li Hongsheng's headquarters only recruited more than 600 new soldiers, which is far less than the number of reinforcements you have!"

"but!"

"hey-hey."

"He recaptured Qingzhou Prefecture, but also subdued a surrendered general! He was a former Dashun general under Li Zicheng, named Zhao Yingyuan!"

"This man is quite a character. He has recruited more than 5,000 local militiamen!"

"Haha, that's why!"

"If you count all these soldiers!"

"hey-hey!"

"Brother Huchen, your two thousand new recruits are not enough! Huh?! Hahahaha"

Xiao Yan teased, intending to dispel Li Huchen's arrogance!

[Current statistics of the total number of soldiers enrolled in various prefectures in Shandong]

[Sun Peizhong's troops (lieutenant general): 2697 people (infantry) - 500 people (assigned to Xiao Jingchuan for garrison) - 197 people (to fill in the vacancy as Qin Jing's team was unable to go)]

[Li Huchen's troops (lieutenant general): 2597 people (cavalry; recaptured cities along the established route, 100 casualties in combat) + 2000 people (newly recruited soldiers)]

[Ma Minglu's troops (Military Quartermaster-Garrison): 2000 people (Military Logistics)] [Xu Jizu's troops (Captain): 1600 people (Infantry) + 400 people (Newly recruited soldiers)]

[Li Hongsheng's troops (garrison): 2000 (infantry; recapture cities along the established route, 300 casualties in combat) + 600 (newly recruited soldiers)]

[Liu Wenbing + Gong Yonggu's combined forces: 1502 people (infantry)]

[Huang Degong (Chuzhou troops marching north to Shandong): 15000 people (12000 infantry + 3000 cavalry)]

[Gao Jie (the remaining troops of Fengyang who marched north to Shandong): 5000 people (4000 infantry + 1000 cavalry)]

[Liu Liangzuo (Xuzhou troops marching north to Shandong): 10000 people (8000 infantry + 2000 cavalry)]

[Liu Zeqing (Yangzhou troops marching north to Shandong): 15000 people (12000 infantry + 3000 cavalry)]

[Zhao Yingyuan (who conquered Li Zicheng's former general in Qingzhou): 5000 (local militia infantry)]

[Total number of soldiers and horses accompanying the army: 65396]

[Historical research: Zhao Yingyuan was said to be from Xiaozhaojiazhuang, north of Zibo City (see "Famous People in Ming and Qing Dynasties by the Xiaofu River"). His family practiced martial arts and was very skilled. He once served as a bodyguard for Wang Zhayong, a fellow county resident.]

【Later he left the king and joined Li Zicheng's Dashun Army! 】

【After the Jiashen Rebellion, Wang Zhayong followed the Jiannu into Beijing and went to Qingzhou to recruit them! Zhao Yingyuan pretended to surrender and entered the city, then suddenly killed Wang Zhayong. He occupied Qingzhou, sealed the treasury, banned killing, and united with the King of Heng to resist the Qing and establish his own regime!】

[In Qingzhou, Zhao Yingyuan followed Wang Aoyong's example and sent people with talismans to continue to pacify the people in Qingzhou! ]

[As a result, just as Qingzhou was pacified, the Qing army also marched on the border. Zhao Yingyuan was outnumbered and ultimately failed. He died in ruins!]

[It is called the Qingzhou Incident in history, which was an anti-Qing incident in Qingzhou, Shandong during the reign of Emperor Hongguang of the Southern Ming Dynasty! ]

I am really sorry, everyone!

My daughter has a high fever today and I really can’t take care of her!
I took some time to write this, and now my daughter is awake again, so I'll stop here for today! It's a day off!
I would like to apologize to you all here!
Sorry, sorry!
Updates will continue as usual tomorrow!
