When Li Weijun, the governor of Zhili, received the rescue letter from Xing Wentai, the chief soldier of Zhengding Town, he himself was already in a state of anxiety, not because he didn't want to rescue the Qing army surrounded in Wangdu, but because he had no troops in his hands.

As the governor of Zhili, there are about 4,000 people under Li Weijun's command, which belong to his direct troops, and he also governs the six towns of Yiti, that is, more than 3,000 people under the command of Song Kejin, the governor of Zhili, as well as the six towns of Tongzhou Town, Zhengding Town, Tianjin Town, Xuanhuai Town, Jizhou Town and Shanhaiguan, with a total of more than 40,000 troops.

Strictly speaking, in the past, Zhili was surrounded by other important towns, so the strength of the green battalion was not very much, and later it was because Zhili was within the offensive range of the Fu Han army that the strength of the green battalion of Zhili was forced to rise, like the strength of Zhengding Town, which was as many as 8,000 people, and it was also the army that Li Weijun relied on.

But the problem is that when Zhengding Town was surrounded by the Fuhan Legion, Li Weijun had no other strength to fight back, so he could only wait until the 150,000 troops led by Yongzheng personally arrived in Baoding Mansion, but when the Yongzheng army had just entered Baoding, Wangdu had completely fallen, and Xing Wentai was finally killed.

In desperation, Li Weijun had no choice but to visit Yongzheng, and made a comprehensive report on the results of the battle of Wangdu in the Qing army camp.

"Emperor Qiqi, when the left and right guards were killed, they suffered more than ten wounds, Judas cried out for more than one battle, and finally killed more than seven or eight thieves with his own hands, and died on the spot....... When the minions heard about it, they hated to go into battle in person to fight in order to report the Qing Dynasty and the emperor. ”

Yongzheng's eyes were slightly red, and he didn't know if it was the reason for the rush in the past few days, or he heard that the Qing Dynasty had such a loyal and good general, but it was a pity that he had only seen Xing Wentai once, and he was not impressed by him, so he had to smack his tongue and said softly: "If my Qing Dynasty civil and military generals are like criminal generals, how can I come to this situation?" ”

"Xing Wentai has made contributions to the country, and he is worthy of the society, and he was posthumously awarded the post of lieutenant of Xing Wentai."

Li Weijun knelt deeply on the ground, "The slave thanked the criminal general on behalf of the heavenly grace, my emperor's kindness is as deep as vast, and I believe that the criminal general can also die and be blind." ”

Yongzheng sighed lightly, and then took the ministers of the military aircraft department to start talking about business, "Although my 150,000 troops of the Qing Dynasty have arrived in Baoding Mansion, but they have to face the so-called first group army and the second group army of Chu Shun head-on, and there are more than 100,000 people, there is no disparity in the strength of the two sides, can all the ministers have a countermeasure?" ”

The ministers and the governor of Zhili just now bowed their heads slightly, although there was no disparity in strength, but the firepower configuration and training of the two sides were very different, as can be seen from the battle of Wangdu, the green battalion had almost no power to fight back in front of the Fuhan army.

There was no word in the tent for a while, everyone held their breath and was silent, only Yongzheng's heavy breathing could be heard, after all, the original Zhang Tingyu had been put in prison, who else dared to speak indiscriminately?

When all the ministers were speechless, Yongzheng couldn't help but snort coldly, he looked at the sand table placed in the center, on which was the appearance of the entire territory of Zhili, among which the first group army and the second group army of the Fuhan army had laid out a long line, from Zhengding, Wangdu, Boye to Hejian Mansion, Qingxian and other places. Almost all of them have been planted with flags symbolizing the Han army.

As for the Qing court, it was hoarding heavy troops in Baoding, in addition to the 150,000 main army brought by Yongzheng, there were thousands of green battalions directly under Li Weijun, the governor of Zhili, and there were more than 20,000 green battalions in Bazhou, and more than 10,000 green battalions in Tianjin, which was all the troops of the Qing court in Zhili.

Yongzheng looked at the current situation, and couldn't help but have a headache, although he didn't know much about military strategy, but he also understood that the current Qing army had been in a state of passive beating.

On the positive side, the Fu Han army had 20,000 troops in Wangdu, 10,000 in Boye, and 10,000 in Dingzhou, while Hejian Province, as the main force of the First Army, had at least 50,000 troops, and the strength of Cangzhou was unknown......

Obviously, Baoding Mansion and Tianjin Mansion became the focus of the war between the two sides, after all, after Baoding Mansion and Tianjin Mansion, there was Jingshi, and there was no other barrier.

"Ning Yu, how will you make a move?"

.......

Tianjin Mansion has always been a strategic place to defend the Beijing Division, which was valued by the Ming and Qing courts, and for Tianjin Prefecture, Tanggu is the key to it, known as the 'Tianjin Gate Barrier'.

As early as after the Yongle Emperor moved the capital to Beijing, the strategic position of Dagu Haikou became increasingly prominent, after all, as the only gateway to Beijing by sea, it was directly related to the survival of the Beijing division, so a fortress was set up here early on, and the garrison was fortified.

And now, due to the threat of the Ningchu naval division, the Qing court has strengthened the defense measures of Dagu Haikou, pruned several forts here, used wood inside, blue bricks outside, white ash grouting, very strong, and also set up a number of general cannons, forming a fairly complete defense system.

In addition to the fort, the Tianjin Town Green Battalion under the Governor of Zhili was also stationed here, and Luo Qiliang, the commander of Tianjin Town, led more than 11,000 people to guard Tanggu to prevent the Han Army from landing here.

Having said that, when the First Army and the Second Army of the Fu Han Army approached Zhili from the land, it also made the Qing army stationed in Tianjin Mansion relax their vigilance, and in their opinion, as long as Bazhou was still there, Tanggu did not need to worry too much.

However, when the navy led by Qiu Ze transported the Central Army to Dagu Haikou, it surprised Luo Qiliang, the commander-in-chief of Tianjin Town, that the other party sent a surprise army from Tianjin Town, which was about the same time as Emperor Yongzheng left Baoding, which fully showed that the other party was fully prepared.

Luo Qiliang was originally a general under the Eight Banners of the Han Army, and later because of the lack of green and yellow in the Qing Army, he was promoted to the general soldier of Tianjin Town, although the skills of fighting are more fashionable, but he also has self-knowledge, looking at the ships of the Fu Han Army gathered outside the mouth of the Dagu Sea, Song Kejin, the commander of Zhili, who decisively chose to garrison in Bazhou, wrote a letter for help.

"Lord Titai Jun Jian, Chu Reverse Water Division gathered at Dagu Haikou, when there are tens of thousands of people, or there is a desire to land, in a vain attempt to cut off the support of our army, but the army led by the mark is only more than 10,000 people, and I hope that Lord Titai can help quickly."

Just after Luo Qiliang ordered the guards to send the letter to Song Kejin, the governor of Zhili, he heard a sound like thunder, and his face couldn't help but change slightly.

"Maybe even if Lord Song's troops come, it will be difficult to resist the Fu Han army......"

In Luo Qiliang's opinion, although there are more than 40,000 people in the green battalion under the governor of Zhili, what level is these 40,000 people, others don't know, isn't he Luo Qiliang still unclear?

It sounds good to be an official army, but not only does it not have enough birds, it doesn't even have a few artillery, and the soldiers are mostly new recruits, and most of them are soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is simply outrageously low.

........

In fact, for the Central Group Army that landed this time, their strength was only about half of that of the other two major group armies, but the targets they needed to face were relatively smaller, which were nothing more than 10,000 green battalions in Tianjin and 20,000 troops in Bazhou.

The real problem in this battle was that it was necessary to take Tanggu quickly enough to gain a foothold in order to provide assistance to the Fuhan army that landed later.

Qian Ying, as the new commander of the 10th Division, is now the deputy commander of the Central Group Army, mainly responsible for this landing in Tianjin.

Originally, the commander of the Central Army was Ning Zuyi, the commander of the Praetorian Guard Division, but he needed to lead the Praetorian Guard Division to attack Shanhaiguan, so he did not participate in this battle

"If it weren't for the fact that we took refuge in the Han Army and Your Majesty, I'm afraid that today's fate would not be much better." Qian Ying sighed slightly, he couldn't have imagined that in just a few years, he had fought all the way from Huguang to Zhili, and even the capital was not far from him.

Qiu Ze used to think that Qian Ying had a smooth personality, but after getting along all the way, he found that this person was a rare and kind person, and said with a smile: "What Deputy Commander Qian said is true, if we don't abandon the dark and turn to the light, we are afraid that we will be used as cannon fodder by the Qing court." ”

"That's right, just some time ago, Lao Xu also told me that we are all from the green battalion, but Your Majesty has never regarded us as cannon fodder, whether we lead the army or fight, it is the main force of the first class, just like this cross-sea attack on Tianjin, in the eyes of many people, it is a great thing, but we have caught it!"

Qian Ying laughed loudly, but it caused a burst of sideways glances from other officers, but when he saw that it was Deputy Commander Qian and Admiral, he didn't dare to disturb in the slightest, these two are now in the Fu Han Army, and they are likely to enter the Privy Council in the future and become a Privy Council.

In the current system of the Fu Han army, the Green Battalion faction was not a so-called faction in the original, after all, everyone was very shy about the fact that the generals were born, but when there were more Green Battalion generals who surrendered to the Fu Han Army later, there were more Green Battalion generals, including Yue Lingfeng, Xu Mingyuan, Qian Ying and Qiu Ze and others who all came to high positions, and they no longer became so taboo.

Of course, even if the Green Camp faction exists in the Fu Han Army, there is no harm, after all, these people are different from the Young Hawks, they do not have such a large cohesion, and because of their background, it is difficult to become the dominant force, so they do not pay much attention to this.

As the two spoke, the guns on the battleships had already begun to fire, and in the white fog and roar in the sky, many small boats were heading towards the coast of Tanggu, they were the Fuhan Army of the 10th Division, who would be responsible for capturing Tanggu in this battle and opening the way to Tianjin.

A violent roar echoed from the side of the ship, after all, the infantry who had just landed were infantry with muskets, and there was no artillery power, so the ship's artillery was needed to support it, so as to repel the Qing attack.

A large number of Qing troops, armed with birds and knives and spears, under the cover of dozens of cannons, launched an attack on the landing Fu Han army, although many people were hit by the projectiles that fell from the sky, and even became shattered, but there were still a large number of Qing troops from the rear.

For Luo Qiliang, he knew that his only chance was to push the landed Fu Han army into the sea, otherwise once they gained a firm foothold, they would face tens of thousands of Fu Han troops, and no matter how they fought, Tianjin and even Jingshi would not be able to keep it.....

"Kill a Chu rebel and reward ten taels of silver!"

"Kill a team officer, and reward fifty taels of silver!"

"Kill a battalion officer, reward five hundred taels of silver, and upgrade five levels in a row!"

Under Luo Qiliang's order, a basket of silver was carried to the front of the battle, and this also stimulated the blood in the heart of the Qing army, and they began to attack in the direction of the Fu Han army desperately, and they didn't even care about the projectiles that fell beside them, and almost built a mountain of corpses.

A Qing army president glanced back at the silver basket, but he pulled out his waist knife and directly cut a Qing soldier who was fleeing back into two, with blood red in his eyes, and roared loudly: "Run, run, run, you gangsters, if you want silver, follow Lao Tzu and rush forward!" ”

I have to say that under the stimulation of the silver, no matter how much everyone is afraid of the Fu Han army, there is still a group of Qing soldiers who are not afraid of death who stand up, and they all have despair in their eyes, but they still choose to follow Mr. Qian, and rush towards the beach like a madman.

Looking at the Qing soldiers who were gradually going crazy, a trace of disdain flashed on Qian Ying's face, and he said with a smile: "It's been so long, they still haven't grown at all, what is the use of fighting like this, except for giving up their lives in vain?" ”

Qiu Ze looked indifferent, and said in a low voice: "I heard that the Qing court has replaced its Eight Banners New Army with a large number of firearms, and these green battalion soldiers can have some more sub-cannons, otherwise they won't even be able to take out these sub-cannons now." ”

Qian Ying nodded slightly, looked at the heavy casualties in front of him, and sighed slightly, "I heard that the Tartar Emperor has sprinkled a lot of silver in the past two years to buy some firearms for the Eight Banners New Army, and I don't know how it will feel to fight with them now?" ”

"There's always a chance to meet, there's always a chance."

Qiu Ze looked at the battlefield in front of him, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly, if the Qing army was just like this, I was afraid that the 200,000 Fu Han army would not need it, and 100,000 would be able to drive them out of the pass......

Unlike the two of them, this landing battle is destined not to end so simply, with Luo Qiliang's heavy encouragement, although many of the green battalion soldiers have lost the morale to fight, but in order to be able to obtain these silver, they still rush forward desperately to kill.

The artillery on the warship of the Fu Han army kept roaring, and a large amount of ammunition was tilted out, smashing into the crowd of Qing troops on the beach, creating a scene of blood, and the Qing army's sub-cannon was also constantly returning fire, killing and wounding the array of the Fu Han army, and the two sides were carrying out the most brutal exchange of casualties.

However, the dozens of sub-cannons of the Qing army could not be compared with the ship artillery of the Fu Han army in any case, and the muskets of the Fu Han army were also constantly returning fire, so the entire Tanggu position almost became the Shura field of the Qing army.
