326 The year of the Qing Piercing Demon Dance, Yuyao was sixty-six
The Yangtze River is more than 6,000 kilometers long, and it is impossible to build red-coated artillery batteries along such a long waterway to defend such a long waterway.
And the southern government has two killer features:
First, the southern government steadily occupied the city of Anqing in Anhui. Anqing is located in the north of the Yangtze River, facing the Yangtze River, Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners have no water division, how many times the Eight Banners army besieged Anqing City on three sides and did not come, but lost troops and generals, so they had to change their strategy and besiege but not attack. But Anqing faces the Yangtze River, and there is a steady stream of supplies from the south bank, so he can't die at all.
Second, the southern government has the most powerful naval division in the eastern hemisphere, and even more than 100 ships and some of the troops of the original Manchu and Fujian naval divisions have been reorganized by the southern government. The guns on the ships of the sailors were mobile, and they could hit wherever they wanted, and the guns of the Qing army were inconvenient to move on land.
The First Army of the Imperial Defense Army, familiar with the road, crossed hundreds of boats to Anqing City, took the initiative to attack from the city gates in three directions, and fought a diplomatic battle with 50,000 Mongolian Eight Banner Army in Anqing City.
The Chinese National Defense Force wants to break through the layers of encirclement of the Mongolian Eight Banners cavalry army, destroy the enemy's living forces, and also take the whole territory before the autumn harvest in order to sweep through Anhui.
Artillery is the god of war. Although the Mongolian light cavalry had strong mobility ability, it was difficult to form a formation under the bombardment of artillery. The Manchu Qing also had a lot of red-coated artillery, but they suffered a lot under the bombardment of the artillery of the Chinese army, and they had relatively few cannons, and they were solid shells, which were very limited in field battles, while the shells of the Chinese army were hollow shells with countless shrapnel that would explode, and a large piece would fall when they were hit.
"Bunnies, save some!" Fang Feng, commander of the 1st Battalion of the 2nd Artillery Regiment of the 1st Army of the Chinese National Defense Forces, shouted at the gunners. Fang Feng is Fang Liang's distant brother, Fang Liang's distant relatives are all engaged in the rebellion, a big cause with a bright future, Fang Liang's "governor" in his early twenties is the pride of the Fang family, do you say that Fang Bao, who is famous all over the world? Well, the pride of the Fang family is not his turn for the time being.
Fang Feng only graduated from the artillery department of the Central Army/School in Nanjing last year, and then because of his good skills and "background", he rose very quickly, and the First Army expanded its artillery, and he immediately changed from a company commander to a major battalion commander.
Anhui soldiers are very popular in the Chinese emperor's * side, Anhui people are hard-working, and the first army is Anhui soldiers accounted for half, at first the first division in Dabie Mountain on the border of Anhui, moved to the Black Dragon Village Anhui people. In fact, in later generations, isn't Li Hongzhang's Huai army an Anhui soldier?
He walked over and struck a soldier who was only seventeen or eighteen years old on the head, and scolded in Anhui dialect: "What are you nervous about, recruit egg! Can the blind ball of the Tartar still hit you?" Now that the two sides are separated by 300 meters, the probability of them being hit is not high, and neither the Manchu artillery nor the shells are good.
The little soldier was a man named Li Ergen, also from Anhui, who was holding a cannon/shell, and while touching the shell, he replied: "Battalion commander, I'm not nervous...... I am...... Excited, it's not so cool when I'm training, and there are so many real bullets for me...... Battalion commander, I really want to go over and see how many Tartars have been killed. ”
Fang Feng: ......
Fang Feng was silent for a while, kicked this kid, and shouted, "Work!" Fang Feng was actually very satisfied with Li Ergen, this kid was a natural artilleryman, and he understood the operation and theory very quickly during training. However, this group of recruits is on the battlefield for the first time, and it also tests mental ability, so he has to keep an eye on it.
Li Ergen hurriedly replied: "Yes!" Then, he actively adjusted the cannon Zhu/Yuan, corrected the elevation angle and direction, and filled the shells......
The main army of the First Army continued to advance under the cover of artillery heavy weapons until the Manchu troops stopped shelling, and they either broke their artillery or ran out of ammunition.
……
The Mongolian Eight Banner Artillery that was engaged in the battle with the 1st Division was finally dumb, and the division commander decisively ordered the fire/gun infantry to step forward, and the 1st Division's fire/gun lined up and ran in order.
The Mongol cavalry was also fierce, and after discovering that the 1st Division had also stopped shelling, it took the initiative to send out a cavalry charge.
The infantry of the 1st Division, lined up in formations, fired / guns non-stop, flint / fire / guns were fired at short intervals, several thousand people formed three rows to shoot, and the fire was very intensive. Because Yuyao recruited many craftsmen, including those who had been abducted from the Beijing Military Department, the factory borrowed water-powered machinery and greatly improved the manufacture of rifled gun barrels. Today's fire/gun infantry in the Wehrmacht units has largely switched to rifled guns.
The accuracy and effective range of rifled guns and smoothbore guns are completely different things, and in the past three years, the number of firearms/gunmen has increased geometrically, and the accuracy of shooting has also greatly increased.
Thousands of Mongolian cavalry rushed nearly 100 meters before falling 20 percent, rushing 200 meters was harvested by half of the continuous, to 250 meters the speed was faster, and they were left with less than 20 percent.
At thirty meters, the Chinese arms/spearmen broke through in the middle, and the infantry armed with strange-looking weapons rushed out.
That is to learn General Qi Jiguang's sharp weapon "Mandarin Duck Formation" to deal with the Japanese and Mongolians. A squad of 12 soldiers is composed of 12 soldiers, each armed with a wolf spear (a cold weapon with an iron spear head on a bamboo branch that looks like a long broom), a long spear, a boring palladium, and a round shield. At one time, the scale of more than 6,000 soldiers in the Qi family army made hundreds of thousands of pirates and pirates scurry. If it weren't for the low status of the Ming Dynasty's military generals, Zhang Juzheng, the backer of Qi Jiguang's court, fell, and his political enemies and civilian clique tried their best to suppress the Qi family's army, Mongolia didn't know how badly it would have been killed.
I saw that under the protection of the round shield hand, the wolf hand put the rest of the rushing Mongol soldiers to either defend outside, or pick them off one by one, and the long/spearmen went to the professional mending knife to stab people to death, and the boring palladium hand responded at any time, combining attack and defense. In such a group of 12 people, with close division of labor and cooperation, one by one the proud cavalry of the Mongolian Eight Banners were killed in flesh and blood, and mourning was everywhere. This is a much stronger requirement for the psychological quality of a cold-weapon war than for a fire/spearman. Fire/spearmen kill people in a long-range way, all you have to do is shoot, while cold weapons are red on the knife over a distance, either you are red or I am red, and there is no difference between people and animals to be slaughtered on the battlefield.
The artillery fired one round at each other, the fire/spearmen lined up to kill the second round, and finally the remnants were bloodily served by cold weapons.
Under the leadership of Long Hei, the first army was killed in the north and east respectively, and the west was the Dabie Mountain, and if the Mongolian Eight Banners dared to enter the mountain, when they reached their territory, the comrades left behind on the mountain would have meat to eat.
……
The main battleships of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire, such as the "Cao Cao" and "Ran Min", plus the "Baiqi" and "Wuqi" warships attacked Yangzhou, which is the most prosperous city in northern Jiangsu.
The 32 ships of the invincible class "Cao Cao" and "Ran Min" approached the north shore and fiercely bombarded the positions of the Qing army.
The Qing army focused on defense here, and also set up nearly 60 cannons, shelling each other for a long time, until the Qing army ran out of ammunition, but the artillery of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire still existed. The disparity between the productivity levels of backward primitive agricultural countries and those of industrialized countries also led to the tragic result that the Qing army and the Royal Navy were bound to be in a "small/receptive" position.
The Qing army ran out of ammunition, and one after another landed craft sailed from the south bank to the north bank, and the divisions of the Second Army of the Imperial Chinese Defense Army climbed up the river beach one after another. Some Qing troops came out to fire arrows at the Chinese troops who had just landed, but the warships that were still on the ground fired at the Qing bow and arrow positions, causing countless casualties to the Qing army. In order for the archers to be able to hit the Chinese on the river beach, they had to get within 50 meters to be within effective range, but the range of the naval guns was 400 meters.
After the logistics have kept up, the landing force will divide labor and cooperate with the attack after the whole team is formed.
Also landing was a detachment headed by the "Hanwu", covering the landing of the Third Army in Wuchang and sweeping away the Qing troops stationed in Hubei.
The leader of the Imperial Chinese Navy, with a large number of ships, carried the Fourth Army of the Field Army of the Chinese National Defense Force and the two divisions of the Royal Marine Corps of the Chinese Imperial Marine Corps, "Seals" and "Sea Lions", to land in Haizhou, Jiangsu (Lianyun Port).
This long coastline was like a stripped beauty under the naval warships, and the Qing Dynasty faced this kind of warfare in different eras, whether it was the early Qing Dynasty or the late Qing Dynasty.
China's territory is too large, and it is a tragedy that there is no coastal defense, and almost all of the heavy troops of the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners are stationed along the Yangtze River and the Beijing Division, and the hinterland in the middle is its soft belly, which is stabbed into it with a knife.
There was only a small garrison of the Eight Banners of Manchuria and a town of Green Camp in Haizhou - after all, a place as big as the Qing Dynasty could not be defended in every place.
After the Fourth Army and the Marines landed, they first beat the Qing army to a beating, and then carried out a political offensive to force the Han army's green battalion to surrender with a bloody lesson. In the official history, when the Japanese/devils called, how many of the squadrons surrendered as puppet troops? What's more, the southern government is a Chinese Han country, and they have no psychological burden in order to survive. Those bannermen, military attachés, or prison guards were cut down by the black-hearted green battalion soldiers and became voters.
The main forces of the Fourth Army and the Marine Corps were directly penetrated into Xuzhou, and the green battalions that surrendered in the rear gave them a proof note and handed them over to the militia units that came later. It is also Yuyao who has the advantage of righteousness and force in the Spring and Autumn Period, and knows that the Chinese who have no leader and lose the will to fight are indeed a group of sheep. Because of the rebellion or surrender of the Green Battalion army, many of them killed the original banner military attachés as a vote, they can say that the group of dragons has no leader, and it is unlikely that they will go to serve the Manchu Qing again.
Therefore, she was very bold in her use of troops, and the green battalions that surrendered were not a small number in the rear, and it would be a big trouble if there was a sudden riot.
Xuzhou is bordered by Haizhou (Lianyungang) in the east, Suqian in the south, and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal passes through it. Taking Xuzhou, it can be said that Jiangsu and Anhui are in the bag of the Chinese Empire.
In order to alleviate the pressure of the Xuzhou Campaign and prevent the Qing army's northern military towns from flocking to Xuzhou, the 100,000 troops of the Fifth Army and the Seventh Army of the Field Army of the Chinese Imperial Defense Army in Taihang Mountain descended like a tiger and sounded the clarion call to attack the Daimyo's Mansion (Handan). Located in the southern part of Naoli Province, the Daimyo Prefecture is the southern gateway to the Beijing-Tianjin region. It's like it's all hitting you under the bed, and it's going to go down your throat. In this way, the military headquarters urgently ordered the existing Qing garrison troops in western Shandong, southern Zhili, and northern Henan to rush to the aid of the Daimyo's mansion.
After the Qing army garrisons in the three provinces received the order, they had no time to transfer reinforcements, and Zhang Yufeng, the third general of the Chinese Imperial Army, had already led the army to take the Daimyo's Mansion. Now that the war in the south is so urgent, what heavy weapons did the Daimyo Mansion get? Moreover, the garrison of the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners here was less than 2,000, and the Fifth and Seventh Armies took Shexian, rested for a day, marched for a day, and then fought in one day.
The nail of the Daimyo's Mansion attracted large armies from all sides to attack, including the 40,000 Green Battalion led by the Admiral of Shandong, the Qianfeng Battalion of Henan and the southward movement of Beijing, plus part of the Shenwu Artillery Battalion. Not only were these poor troops subjected to all kinds of "despicable and shameless" guerrilla methods on the way, but when they arrived at the Daimyo's Mansion, they were afraid in their hearts, besieging them instead of attacking them, and the Daimyo's supplies were always limited.
However, the materials of the Qing army are also limited, and Lu Siniang, the former wife of Kangxi, a "special warfare pioneer" who is eager to make meritorious contributions to the Taihang Mountain Front, led the special combat team to sneak attack the logistics of the Qing army and burn grain and grass.
At this time, the battle of Xuzhou, which greatly reduced the pressure, also came to an end, and the Fourth Army of the Field Army of the Chinese Imperial Defense Force and the two divisions of the Royal Marine Corps occupied Xuzhou, cutting off the northern rear route of the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners Army in Jiangsu. The first army of Anhui swept through Anhui, and the army of the Mongolian Eight Banners either died in battle or fled to Jiangsu, and the road to the northwest was also blocked. The southeast is the sea, and in addition to the water on the sea, it is the Imperial Royal Navy, and the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners Army is a northerner, and his swimming skills are not very good. Not to mention the south.
The remaining main army of Manchu and Mongolia has been besieged in Jiangbei.
……
Beijing City, August, black clouds overwhelm the city.
August is the monsoon rain that often rains in Beijing, but today it is very dark, as if the sky is about to be crushed by dark clouds, and the water in the sky is about to pour down, drowning everything.
In the Forbidden City, Kangxi was sick, and he didn't go to the Qianqing Palace to go to court, but just recruited ministers in the south study. Another military report arrived, he coughed, and asked the eunuch to read that it was the military report that the southern "rebels" occupied Xuzhou.
He spit out a mouthful of blood, and the slave ministers couldn't help but be anxious, Kangxi waved away the people, and let the prince, the fourth elder brother, the eighth elder brother, Li Guangdi, Chen Tingjing, etc. stay, and the rest of the people withdrew from the southern room.
Because the rebellion in the south was in full swing, the first abolished prince and the second abolished prince of the Kangxi Dynasty had no chance to be staged.
Kangxi stood up with the support of the eunuch, walked to the huge map of the Qing Dynasty in the study, and looked at it obsessively. That's the vast and magnificent country where he reigns over the world!
After a long time, he sighed a long time: "I heard that the daughter of this year is only twenty years old now, and she has laid a foundation for herself. I took over the country from the hands of Lord Shunzhi, ruled the ministers, Aobai, the three feudatories, Taiwan, Galdan, Rakshasa and I also came. This Nian Yuyao is the real terrible, and he is the only opponent in my life. ”
The prince said: "The Qing Dynasty will definitely have the blessing of God, the emperor Ama is the true dragon son of heaven, how can he grow the majesty of a demon girl? I will be able to survive this crisis. ”
Kangxi didn't pay attention to the prince and asked Li Guangdi: "Guangdi, have you read her "Analysis of the Theory of Contradiction in the Development of Chinese History", "Fifty Years of the Death of the Ming Dynasty and the Rise of the Qing Dynasty", as well as "The Theory of a Strong Country" and "Deduction of World History"?"
Li Guangdi knelt down tremblingly and said, "Long live, Weichen has never heard of these books. ”
Kangxi smiled a little wryly and said: "It is said that knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent and winning all battles, she knows the Qing Dynasty very well, but the Qing Dynasty entered the court for various reasons, when she is deaf and blind, she doesn't know her, how can she fight her?" Kangxi was defeated again and again, and his tone was frustrated, which has never been seen in decades.
Li Guangdi kowtowed and said, "Weichen should be damned." ”
Kangxi sighed softly: "I don't blame you. If everyone in the court and the central government read her books, the Qing Dynasty would also be in danger. And he had also read those books, and he knew that he was afraid after reading them, all her writings and theories were picking up Daqing's pants, making it difficult for Daqing to be a decent person.
Li Guangdi didn't dare to respond, and heard Kangxi say: "This year, Yuyao is generous, this is to eat Jiangsu, Henan, and Anhui in a war." The successive years of bandits in Taihang Mountain are also her tricks, this is a sword inserted in the heart of the Qing Dynasty. The depth of the plan is unprecedented. I can't get it back now, but I am trapped in Jiangsu and I have 200,000 soldiers in Mongolia, and I can't all die in vain. ”
Kangxi's psychology is extremely clear: There are tens of thousands of elites in the Qing Dynasty, who are really full? And the Qing Dynasty was defeated, Mongolia was killed by more than 100,000, and the prestige and foundation of the Qing Dynasty in Mongolia were rotten.
Several sons and courtiers were even more chilled in their hearts, they were the elite of the Qing Dynasty, and the eldest brother and Tong Guowei were among them.
Kangxi said: "In such a situation, the Qing Dynasty has no other choice, let's talk about it." "Even the gentry who killed chickens and took eggs came to take money and grain, and there was no way.
The crown prince and the eighth brother exclaimed in unison: "Huang Ama!"
Kangxi waved his hand and said, "Those who know practice are handsome, and the husband can bend and stretch." Talk to her!"
Kangxi ordered the fourth elder brother to be the main envoy and Li Guangdi to be the deputy envoy to negotiate in Nanjing. After giving the decree, he went back to the palace in a stiff and sloppy manner, and he was no longer the high-spirited Kangxi Emperor. His glorious era has ended, and he only sighs: Heaven and earth will work together, and heroes will not be free......
……
The night before the fourth elder brother set off, the Wulanala clan and the Li clan finally cried into tears, and greeted the eighteen generations of Nian Yuyao's ancestors.
That night, the fourth elder brother rested in the room of his wife Wulanala, and the Wulanala clan saw that the Qing Dynasty was in danger, and the fourth elder brother might not have a chance to ascend the throne - the country was gone, and his baby son Honghui, who was already a handsome young man, had no chance to become a well-behaved little emperor.
All of this was done by Nian, and Nian's is the same as those messy women? She is also a demon girl. Or is she reborn like her?
For the sake of her husband and son and the Qing Dynasty, the Ulanala clan decided to tell her secrets......
……
It was already 10 days after the Manchu Qing Dynasty negotiated peace and asked for peace was sent to Nanjing urgently, and the negotiation team headed by the fourth elder brother and Li Guangdi was arriving in Xuzhou. Now Xuzhou is occupied by the Chinese Empire, but because they are peace negotiators, the Chinese side did not embarrass them, but they were guarded when they lived in the post house and could not walk around.
The ministers of the Cabinet of the Xinghua Party Government of the Chinese Empire (members of the Standing Committee of the Political and Political Bureau) and the principal staff members below the chief of the General Staff of the General Staff Department entered the palace to meet the Empress.
The Empress summoned the ministers at the Fengyi Pavilion, where she met informally in the Inner Palace.
Yuyao opened the Manchu peace petition and looked at it: "It turned out to be a negotiation......
Zhou Ping, the deputy minister of the cabinet, asked, "What is Your Majesty's opinion?"
Yuyao smiled: "Then let's talk!"
When Yan Peng, chief of the General Staff, heard this, he asked, "Your Majesty, is that going to be a truce first?"
Yuyao said: "Who said that, didn't their negotiators not arrive yet? Then on the way, create some conditions for the Manchu negotiation team, and delay him for another ten days and a half months. ”
Although he has the honorific title of "Imperial Father", he can't help but cough when he is still in the position of Minister of Finance. Although he also wants to give Nian Qianyao, who is now a regiment commander on the front line, more opportunities for meritorious promotion, but will his daughter be too insidious?
The cabinet ministers and the staff officers of the General Staff also had strange expressions, and Yuyao said: "What are your expressions? You are scolding me in your heart?" Yuyao often disobeyed the requirements of the Ministry of Etiquette when holding meetings with his comrades.
The cabinet ministers and the officers of the General Staff all stood up, except for the elderly.
"Don't dare!"
It was Prime Minister Zhang Rui who said: "The so-called soldiers are not tired of deceit, and they are all in a state of war before they are discussed." If the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners Army heard the news of negotiations and relaxed their vigilance and lost their morale and fighting spirit, it would be their fault and had nothing to do with us. ”
Cabinet ministers and members of the General Staff said to themselves: Prime Minister, your reasons are so reluctant!
Yuyao's pretty face was solemn, his majestic phoenix eyes swept over the ministers, and said coldly: "Kangxi wants to talk to us so urgently, it is nothing more than to rescue these trapped beasts. When the tiger returns to the mountain, it will be too late to regret it. It's not that I'm ruthless, but I haven't killed Jiannu yet, and the Mongolian courage is gone. For the wolf-like nation, only iron-blooded means, Confucius's set, when has it been effective for thousands of years? When it has an effect, it is also the battlefield that has won the battle, and we say that I am benevolent and righteous and will not kill, and they can only truly feel the brilliance of benevolence and righteousness when they have a comparison. Chinese Taoist dialectic, there is no black where there is white, and there is no evil where there is good, this is the truth. You people who are full of benevolence and righteousness should not be so naïve and deceived, and benevolence and righteousness are also earned by us, not something that we are born with, and you can give alms at will! Soldiers have beaten the enemy into quails, and hey, you saints will have the opportunity to come forward to show your benevolence and righteousness! Otherwise, who cares if you are benevolent or not? There is only one kind of innate benevolence and righteousness, that is, to your own people, understand? In short, this is a major matter that has a bearing on the living space of our Han people and our Han people's fraternal nation, and there is no room for the benevolence of our women. These 200,000 Manchurian and Mongolian Tartars did not leave 180,000 to work as fertilizer in Jiangsu, and all the officers above the regimental level were sent back to the military academy to study again! Jiangbei is Yangzhou, how can Yangzhou fail to repay its 10-day revenge? 200,000 Tartars pay tribute to 800,000 Yangzhou compatriots, and Jiannu has also earned it! Next month, I will come to Yangzhou in person to pay tribute to the compatriots who died in Yangzhou on the 10th. The Manchu delegates will talk to us in Yangzhou. Let them see that we Han people cannot be defeated, and the backbone of our Han people has grown again! Whoever dares to deceive the Chinese people will return blood for blood and tooth for tooth!"
After three years of confrontation between the north and the south, she finally led the snake out of the hole, and if she wanted to benefit her territory to fight and let the tiger return to the mountain, when she was the Kuomintang after the victory of World War II, would she send off all Japan/uncle?
The backbone has always grown out of the enemy's sea of blood, and in ancient and modern times, in China and abroad, who can escape, and how can there be any exceptions? The Han people must have a great victory in order to eradicate the problem of servility as a whole! The spirit and spirit of the Han people are also a century-old strategy, and they must first pass this hurdle to resolve the Manchu and Mongolian nationalities, and then they will be able to think about it when the Qing Dynasty is completely finished. The Han people do not have this spirit, in the golden age of colonization, how to fight with the tiger and wolf of the Western nation?
