Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "King Yi wants to go on an expedition to Henan? That's a good thing!"

    Liu Chang casually placed the memorial sent by Lai Yuxin on the table, glanced at Shi Tinglan and Yang Changmei, and then said: "He asked for additional guns and artillery, and I agreed, but he asked for a military designation, and I couldn't agree!  "

    Shi Tinglan lowered her head. This matter had something to do with her, and she couldn't and it was inconvenient to speak.

    However, Xu Yuegui, who had always had friendship with her, asked: "Your Highness, why do you not only support King Yi's expedition, but also promise to replenish his guns and artillery, but refuse to give him a designation?"

    It is now a family meeting in Liu Chang's own home. Many things can be said clearly. Liu Chang has his own opinion in his heart: "If King Yi wants an army number, how can I be reluctant to part with it? The King of Heaven is the first to rule all the kings. After removing the King of Heaven, there is no one else."  Only Wing King is left!"

    Xu Yuegui had already understood that although such harem meetings often discussed family matters and even turned into a feast of meat and silk, because they were a family, they could set the tone in advance. She asked carefully  : "Is it because King Yi still refuses to come over?"

    Now not only Shi Tinglan has lowered his head, but also many female officials from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom have lowered their heads. After all, this is closely related to their past. If Feng Sixian was here, he would still recognize among them some of the people he had met in Tianjing.  Concubine Qing Leng, Gong Jin is now listening to Liu Chang's instructions.

    After this period of time together, these women from the old Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, especially the concubines of Hong Xiuquan in the past, have completely changed their minds. They have completely separated from the past and become female officials of the new regime. They have too much hatred for the old Heavenly Kingdom.  .

    Liu Chang nodded and said: "Yuegui is right. Now our Hong Army only has two armies. If King Yi is willing to come, what can I do if I give the name of another army! But now King Yi refuses to come, Shu Shu  "

    Both ends.  In this case, if I give him a military number, how can he convince the public?  "

    As soon as she heard this, Shi Tinglan secretly resented her brother for coming here, because he was too petty.  So that I missed such a good opportunity.

    Now is the time for Liu Chang, the king of Yan, to become the emperor of Guanjian. He will soon use his troops to conquer the world. If he comes now, Shi Dakai will have tens of thousands of people in Anqing beside him. Not only can he become the leader of an army, but he can also fight with  Qu Jie, Huo Qiu, Sun Huzi and other founding heroes are comparable, but the elder brother is too small.  He couldn't let go of his strength. He wanted to seek refuge with Liu Chang while maintaining his independence. In the end, he missed the opportunity.

    She is now Liu Chang's concubine. If Liu Chang becomes the emperor and Shi Dakai can lead an uprising and hand over the famous city of Anqing, it will be of great benefit to him in his fight for the position of queen.  But his brother actually missed such a good opportunity.

    She had to think about it for herself. She and Yang Changmei were the most promising to ascend to the position of empress in the palace, but it was a pity that they didn't live up to expectations.  Although Ye Yudie gave birth to twin daughters, given her background, there was basically no chance of becoming a queen.

    And besides Ye Yudie, there are now many new competitors in the harem. Shi Tinglan scanned these female officials and found that some of them were already pregnant with dragon seeds.

    However, Ye Yudie also has her own advantages. Thinking of these, Shi Tinglan couldn't help but sigh slightly. Madam Ye asked: "Your Highness is not worried about King Yi's breach of contract? What if he refuses to give up Anqing as scheduled?"

    Liu Chang replied: "The two lakes are in my hands. The battlefield in Anhui is no longer important, and now the key to the entire battlefield is in Xuzhou!"

    Compared with Huaibei, which has been reduced to a yellow flood area, Xuzhou is indeed much stronger than miserable places such as Zhiheji and Haozhou, not to mention that the last powerful force that the Manchu Qing Dynasty can rely on is stationed here.

    The Jiangnan Camp, the Jiangbei Camp, the Monk King Army, the Shengbao Army, and even part of the Linhuai Army will all gather near Xuzhou, facing the increasingly powerful offensive from the south.  Fight to the death to hold on to this famous city that is the most critical in the battle between the north and the south.

    The Qing army knew very well that as long as Xuzhou was lost, the entire Shandong and Henan would fall into the Hong Army's next offensive, so they would rather not give up this city.

    It¡¯s just that these teams have new names. In the past, they came from different organizations, but now they are collectively called "Liang Wangjun".

    Zhang Guoliang, a Han military general with a Jiangren background, has now commanded the entire Qing army in the direction of Jiangsu, and is preparing for a decisive battle with the Hong Kong army that continues to move north. But now he feels frustrated: "Your Majesty, I see that Xuzhou is also defending  It won't be long before the center gives us an idea as soon as possible, where should we defend next?"

    Seng Gelinqin still hated Xianfeng¡¯s decision to mobilize all the monk kings, Shengbao tribe and the remaining troops of the Jiangnan camp to Xuzhou: "??If Yangzhou is not lost in a hurry, we can hold it for at least one more year!  "

    When De'axing of Jiangbei Camp heard this, he immediately said angrily: "Seng Gelinqin, what do you mean? Do you mean it's all our Jiangbei Camp's fault?"

    Monk Lin Linqin knew that the Jiangbei Camp was weak in combat effectiveness, but he did not expect that the Jiangbei Camp collapsed almost immediately and lost the entire Yangzhou Prefecture. After occupying Yangzhou Prefecture, the Marine Brigade and part of the Third Division adopted a horse-racing tactic to enclose the territory.  Continuously expanding its power to all directions.

    Different from the Northern Expeditionary Army, which adopted completely mobile warfare, the Marine Brigade adopted the method of continuously expanding its base areas. They gradually devoured the territory controlled by the Jiangbei Camp and managed the newly occupied areas into their own base areas. Now the states and counties in the south are all  There are already Hong Army's ** battalions, ** companies, rural platoons, and even ** regiments.

    When the Northern Expeditionary Army crosses the border, it can easily send troops to recover afterwards. However, under the Hong Army's offensive, whether it is losing a county or a township, it is a permanent loss. Now even Xuzhou will be completely lost, so Seng Gelinqin cannot  Rather than resenting Jiangbei Camp's failure to live up to expectations, he said angrily: "De Dutong, isn't what I said the truth?"

    De'axing also got angry: "This is our Manchu country, it's not your turn as an outsider to talk!"

    No matter how close Seng Lingeqin was to the Aixinjueluo family, they were just Mongols after all. In the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Manchus adopted tactics of pulling and fighting against the Mongols, but this really made Seng Lingeqin explode: "De'a  Xing, if that¡¯s what you mean, I won¡¯t do it!¡±

    When Shengbao and Shenggongbao saw the quarrel between Seng Lingeqin and De'axing, he immediately stepped forward as a Manchu to uphold justice: "De Dutong, this is your fault. As a Manchu and Mongolian family, you talked nonsense and affected the overall situation.  , I¡¯ll kill you!¡±

    Shengbao's words still had some power, and De'axing could only remain silent. Zhang Guoliang, on the other hand, still asked the same question: "Everyone, after all, we are working for the Qing Dynasty. Although the Qing Dynasty's strength, I don't think it will last long.  Okay, but at least help me come up with an idea, if we don¡¯t defend Xuzhou, where will we defend it?¡±

    After Zhang Guoliang was granted the title of king, he was very proud at first. In the two hundred years of the Qing Dynasty, except for the three kings of Sanshun and the three vassals in the early years of the Qing Dynasty, there was no precedent for the title of king. He could be crowned the king by surrendering. How respectful it was.  A matter of honor.

    But he soon discovered that this was not a good thing. Although they were stationed in critical places such as Xuzhou, the Manchus were busy training new troops with Russian arms. Their teams who fought desperately on the front line were often forgotten.  Some new guns and artillery were sent, but they were no match for the Mini rifles of the Marine Brigade.

    The bigger trouble is the recruitment of soldiers. The history of Jiangnan Camp is a mercenary force. Although it is officially composed of Green Camp soldiers, the main force is the soldiers from Guangdong, Guangxi, Lianghu and Sichuan. Since retreating to Xuzhou, there have been more and more mercenaries every month.  At least a thousand people have been reduced, but it is no longer possible to replenish them as before.

    First, the source of troops in Guangdong and Guangxi was cut off, and now it is impossible to replenish the troops in the two lakes. They can only get a small amount of troops from Sichuan, but it is not enough to consume. They are forced to replenish some Xuzhou and Shandong natives. This is just a contradiction between the officers and soldiers.  It suddenly broke out, and more people ran away than the new recruits who came in.

    Coupled with the lack of military pay and food, Zhang Guoliang was now desperate. He just wanted to retreat as soon as possible so that his team could have a chance to breathe.

    He is not the only one who has this idea. None of the generals here are willing to stay in Xuzhou, a battleground for military strategists. Although the offensive of the Marine Brigade and the Third Division is not a thunderous strike, once they are entangled for a few hours,  Most of the one or two thousand people were lost. If they continued to defend like this, they would die. Even though there were many Manchu and Mongolian nobles among them, they were not willing to defend Xuzhou in vain.

    "King of Liang! King of Liang!" Therefore, Qin Ruhu, a general from Jiangnan Camp, said: "The central intention is obvious enough, he wants us to go to Henan!"

    Judging from the military plane, this Liang Wang Army is naturally the best to go to Henan. This army has experienced hundreds of battles. Although it is an army that has suffered repeated defeats, after long-term battles with the Hong Army, it has already mastered defensive operations.  As long as they join the Henan battlefield, they can persist in Henan for a few more months.

    "Going to Kaifeng?" Zhang Guoliang twisted his forehead into the character "Sichuan": "That is the place where Zhongzhou has fought hundreds of battles."

    The Manchus and Mongols such as Seng Gelinqin and Shengbao didn't talk to each other, and they were unwilling to go to Henan, a place of hundreds of battles. This would be equivalent to just escaping from Xuzhou, a place of hundreds of battles, and immediately jumping into another endless world.  In the endless sea of ??suffering, facing endless rounds of Hong Army attacks, the entire army was dragged down.

    "But not going to Kaifeng?" Qin Ruhu still asked the question straightforwardly: "Where can we go? No matter what, to feed our 50,000 or 60,000 horses, we must have a province's territory."

    It¡¯s just that when he said that, he immediately?Some people retorted: "Because we have 50,000 to 60,000 troops, we must not go to Henan. Now we have only one way to survive, and that is"

    "King Qin!"!  ~!
