The spear in Mo Fei's hand mercilessly pierced the body of the Qing soldier with the bayonet.

Then quickly retreated.

A loud bang sounded in his ears. A Ming soldier holding a musket aimed at a Qing archer not far away and decisively pulled the trigger.

The chest of the Qing archer on the opposite side burst out with a ball of blood, and his body fell limply to the ground.

Zhu Jing'an's concept of forming the Ming army's headquarters troops was based on modern pure firearms troops.

The tactics are the most typical queuing up and shooting!
But for the forward battalion, when Zhu Jing'an started to adapt it, he adopted the army building concept of a mixed force with cold weapons and firearms.

Specifically, the reference is Qi Jiajun!
The cooperative tactics used by the soldiers of the forward battalion in cold-weapons confrontations are the most typical mandarin duck formation.

So far, the effect is pretty good!
Although the combat effectiveness of the Ming Army's forward battalion was not as good as that of the Qi Family Army at its peak, it was still on par.

It definitely can’t be called a crotch lift!
At the very least, the Manchu green soldiers were no match for them!

Mo Fei and others continued to move forward. They were suppressing the Qing army almost the whole time.

The performance on the battlefield is quite impressive!
Of course, this also has a certain relationship with the general fear of war among the Qing army.

The quality of the green soldiers in Zhejiang and Fujian is really good.

The Fujian Green Camp was not bad. That place in Fujian was often attacked by pirates, so the Fujian Green Camp had some combat capability.

Can barely support the Ming army twice.

But Zhejiang Green Camp is a pure waste snack.

As soon as they came into contact with the Ming army, they began to retreat steadily. Even the battle supervising team could not suppress their retreat.

It really is true to that sentence, poor mountains and poor waters produce elite soldiers, while rich and powerful people can only raise trash!

Chang Qing looked at the defeat on the battlefield, his face so gloomy that he could shed tears, and had no choice but to order his supervisor to go up and fight the Ming army.

Trying to save the situation!

As Chang Qing sent his supervisor to the battlefield, he fought hand-to-hand with the Ming army, exchanging lives for lives.

The Qing army could barely stabilize the war situation.

The war in Baohua Town is temporarily in a stalemate!
……

At the same time, the Ming army had made a major breakthrough in the battle at Fangshan.

Boom!Boom!
Several gunshots rang out in succession, and dark shells pierced the sky in a parabola shape and landed in the Qing army's camp on Fangshan Mountain.

Immediately, there was an explosion.

In the Qing army camp behind the stockade wall, clouds of gunpowder smoke and fire were rising, and broken limbs were flying all over the sky.

The Ming army's explosive bombs showed great combat effectiveness as soon as they came on the field.

Continuous explosions sounded, exerting a suppressive effect on the Qing army in the camp.

At this moment, several Ming soldiers were seen jumping out of the trenches with explosive bags on their backs. Under the cover of artillery fire, they quickly rushed towards the Qing army's wall.

The attempt was to use explosive packets to open several gaps in the Qing army's wall.

When the Qing troops behind the wall saw this, they would naturally not sit idly by.

The muskets, bows and arrows were aimed at the oncoming Ming army to greet them.

He wanted to stop the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who were charging forward with explosive packs on their backs.

Liu Qi, wearing thick heavy armor and carrying a pack of explosives on his back, strode toward the Qing army's wall along the trench.

The sound of arrows piercing the air and the sound of projectiles passing by the ears were heard constantly.

At the beginning, Liu Qi rushed forward along the trench. Therefore, the arrows and projectiles fired by the Qing army could not cause effective damage to him.

But it is a pity that the Ming army's trenches were not able to dig under the Qing army's wall, and were still more than 100 meters away from the Qing army's wall.

Liu Qi needs to carry this distance by himself.

After reaching the end of the trench, Liu Qi jumped out of the trench, covered his head and rushed forward.

The sound of arrows piercing the air and the sound of projectiles passing by his ears became more and more obvious.

From time to time, he could feel the severe pain caused by projectiles and arrows hitting his body.

But it was just severe pain, because none of the projectiles and arrows could break the armor!

If Liu Qi hadn't been wearing heavy armor, and the Ming army's mortars had been suppressing the Qing army behind the wall, they would have reduced the Qing army's musketeers and archers who dared to take the lead.

I'm afraid Liu Qi has been shot into a hedgehog long ago!

There was a loud bang, and Liu Qi felt a shock wave coming from his side.

The terrifying air wave directly flew him away. He rolled on the ground several times before he got up.

Liu Qi's head was buzzing, and his ears were ringing violently and sharply. The world in front of him seemed to be trembling, and his vision was blurry and scarlet.

The capillaries in his eyes were shattered, and blood dripped from the corners of his eyes.

Liu Qi knew that there was a high probability that the explosive bag on his companion was ignited by the rockets fired by the Qing army or the projectiles fired by the muskets, and a violent explosion occurred.

Taking a deep breath and holding back his grief, Liu Qi got up from the ground and continued to rush towards the Qing army's wall.

Suddenly, Liu Qi felt a chill in his left arm, and then a severe pain hit his heart, occupying all his senses.As the distance between him and the Qing army's wall shortened, the heavy armor on his body could no longer provide him with comprehensive protection.

The bows and arrows used by the Qing army could already penetrate his heavy armor.

Liu Qi thought of his family members who died tragically at the hands of the Qing army. With red eyes, he strode forward.

His expression was full of determination!
Liu Qi was originally a member of the Wuchang soldiers under Ma Debang, and he once reached the rank of General Qian.

During the Battle of Jianli, as General Qian, he followed Ma Debang and surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.

He even followed Madebang and killed many personal guards of Sanbao, the governor of Huguang, and achieved military exploits.

But as a price, their families who surrendered and stayed in Wuchang all suffered.

It can be said that the families of ordinary soldiers are mostly just imprisoned.

But officers like Liu Qi were another story. His wife, children, and parents all died tragically at the hands of the Qing army.

After the Ming army regained Wuchang, Liu Qi took the lead in violating military discipline in order to avenge his family. He led his brothers and killed many government officials, soldiers, and executioners who had attacked his family.

There were almost 300 people!

What you need to know is that these two to three hundred government officials, soldiers, and executioners all surrendered.

Liu Qi's move was, to put it bluntly, a trap to kill and surrender, or a trap to kill and surrender without orders.

The military law will certainly not spare him lightly!

However, because there was a reason for the incident, Zhu Jing'an did not punish him in the canon and directly executed him.

Instead, they just deprived him of his official position, turned him into an ordinary soldier, and asked him to go to the battlefield and perform meritorious service.

In fact, Liu Qi was a little eager for revenge.

Even if he didn't take action, Zhu Jing'an was still prepared to liquidate the relevant personnel who dared to massacre the families of soldiers and soldiers who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, and give an explanation to the Ming army.

However, there are some things that Zhu Jing'an can do, but if anyone dares to ignore military orders and do things without authorization, it is no wonder that the Ming Dynasty's military laws are strict.

Therefore, even if Zhu Jing'an could understand Liu Qi's motives, he still had to punish him.

In fact, Zhu Jing'an only treated Liu Qi as an ordinary soldier and allowed him to go to the battlefield to redeem his merits. This was Zhu Jing'an's extrajudicial kindness to him.

Otherwise, if it is really handled in accordance with military law, not to mention Liu Qi, all the soldiers under his command who take action will lose their heads.

How should I put it, although it is true that military law is strict!

But many times, the authority to interpret the law rests with the superiors.

Also, Zhu Jing'an's extrajudicial kindness to Liu Qi and others was not for selfishness, but to stabilize military morale.

Different from the modern supremacy of human rights and the supremacy of law, in ancient China's conventional social concepts, morality should override human rights and law.

Filial piety is the most important component of morality.

In other words, for many people, it is a natural thing for children to avenge their parents.

If a child kills someone to avenge their parents, the local magistrate will not only be unable to sentence them, but they will even be commended as a local model of filial piety.

This is the so-called Spring and Autumn Judgment!

Many times, when magistrates sentence criminals, they may not necessarily be sentenced according to legal standards, but may also be sentenced according to moral standards.

If a criminal behaves according to moral standards, even if he commits a crime, the magistrate must give him a lighter sentence.

However, what if this criminal's crime not only violates the law, but also challenges the bottom line of morality.

Then he will definitely be punished with an additional penalty!
The most typical example is the ancient punishment for harvesting and cutting.

The so-called harvesting and harvesting means human trafficking, and then through artificial maiming, the trafficked people are tortured into inhuman form, and then these trafficked people are allowed to beg and make money.

Because the rulers believe that the act of harvesting and cutting will lead to the loss of kindness in people's hearts, thus leading to a decline in local moral standards.

Therefore, those who pick and cut raw materials are prone to Lingchi.

However, the number of Lingchi's stabbings was not based on the number of victims or the amount of property obtained, but based on the scope of the incident.

If it affects one county, you may be sentenced to more than ten knives.

For a single government, the number of swords would probably be doubled several times.

If you save one province, it will cost at least several hundred dollars.

If it affects the whole country, do you want to know about the luxury top-end flagship version of the [-]-dollar Lingchi execution package?
Of course, according to the speed of information dissemination in ancient times, it would be very difficult for traffickers to experience the luxurious top-end flagship version of the Lingchi execution package.

Therefore, Zhu Jing'an's extrajudicial kindness to Liu Qi and others was understandable to everyone in the Ming army.

In terms of public opinion, everyone also praised Zhu Jing'an for his humaneness in doing things.

No one has any objections to this!
If Zhu Jing'an really dealt with Liu Qi and others strictly in accordance with military law, he would really arouse widespread opposition from public opinion, and even be accused of being a thief.

This is how different times lead to different consequences for the same behavior.

Zhu Jing'an has always understood this truth!

When doing things, the most taboo thing is to do things mechanically. You have to adapt measures to local conditions. (End of chapter)
