As a witness to the decisive battle between Kangxi and Ning Chu that year, Narsu really had too many feelings, the Qing army fought against the Fu Han army with an absolute superiority in troops, and also occupied an absolute advantage in the horse team, but in the end it fought a big rout and lost the decisive battle that decided the fate of the Qing Dynasty.

The morale of the Fu Han army is indeed high, and the battle is brave, but the Qing army is not bad at all, at that time, Kangxi led almost all the Beijing Eight Banners, plus some Fujian rattan soldiers, are the elite who have been tested in the previous war, and they have also played their own blood on the actual battlefield.

Even when it comes to the issue of command, the Qing army does not have too many problems, although it has been led by Ning Chu by the nose, but when it comes to the final decisive battle, the Qing army still has an advantage on the battlefield - so in Narsu's opinion, the Qing army only has weapons to make up for at present.

Because of this, Narsu is now full of confidence, he thinks that he has made up for it with new weapons, plus the Manchurian horse team, it is not without the strength of a war in the north, and he also has some slander for the idea that the imperial court has been avoiding war.

Therefore, looking at Emperor Yongzheng with an excited face, Narsu knelt on the ground with courage and said: "Your Majesty, the Eight Banners New Army and Ten Towns are all so elite and relatively well equipped, please continue to see the truth." ”

Yongzheng listened to Narsu's words, and he was looking forward to it a little more, he looked at the new army on the field, only to see that thousands of people began to carry out the exercise, and there were also people with the number of their subordinate troops, with a few big characters written on it, "The First Town and the First Association of the Eight Banners New Army", which was very conspicuous from a distance.

According to Narsu's introduction, the current 100,000 Eight Banners New Army can be divided into eight towns, although the name is from the first to the eighth, but due to the division of the soldiers of each flag, it is still named after each flag in private, for example, the first town is also called the new army town with yellow flags, and so on.

In the establishment of each town, the rated number of people is 12,500, which is 2,500 more than a division of the current Fu Han army, and each town has two infantry associations, each of which has more than 4,000 people, as well as an artillery corps of 1,500 men and a horse corps of more than 1,000 people, and the rest is the baggage battalion part.

Therefore, there are a total of 16 infantry associations in the eight towns of the Eight Banners New Army, and each association is divided into eight battalions, such as this kind of battalion that is suitable for the exercise, so when the entire association is lined up into eight square camps, the momentum is extremely magnificent, and these people belong to the infantry battalion.

Under the gaze of Yongzheng and others, the four infantry battalions marching in front of them carried out demonstrations such as marching, arraying, and shooting, and it can be seen that although these people have not really gone to the battlefield, they are more or less attentive in training, so everyone is fascinated by it.

After the four battalions came over, they also carried out an all-round demonstration like the four battalions just now, but at the end of the demonstration, they heard a trumpet, and saw the Qing soldiers of these four battalions take off the bayonets on their waists, stick them in the head of the gun, and start a similar assassination action.

Looking at the cold bayonet, the princes and ministers on the observation platform did not feel strange, it can be said that the Qing army fell in the muskets and artillery of the Han army on the one hand, and the other part fell under the bayonets.

Under this consideration, although the role of the bayonet was not as great as imagined, the Qing army still tried its best to do some, and then learned to hang on the head of the gun like the Fu Han army, and also practiced some assassination actions, but for those melee hand-to-hand fighters in the Qing army, the bayonet that the Qing army was getting at the moment was a joke at all.

The reason is very simple, the bayonet itself is only auxiliary equipment, even if the Ning Chu army attaches great importance to bayonet training, but it will not pin the victory on the bayonet - as long as it can be defeated with muskets and artillery from afar, why fight to stab?

While learning the muskets and artillery of the Fu Han Army, the Qing army also attached great importance to all weapons such as bayonets, grenades and even rockets, but the technical difficulty of muskets and artillery was too great, and the grenades and rockets did not understand the principle at all, and they could not understand the key to it.

In the words of the craftsmen of the Qing army, the bayonets made in the workshop could not be hung on the muzzle at all, and could not be fixed accurately, so that the bayonets were often easy to fall off, and there was no way to pose a real threat, especially when it was difficult to make a few bayonets, but when it was time to test, it was found that even the tiger clothes and rattan soldiers had not been beaten.

However, after learning about this incident, Narsu did not choose to stop the manufacture of bayonets, but sealed the news, and then spent time accumulating a batch of so-called bayonets and equipping the soldiers of four of the battalions, in order to be able to show his face in front of Yongzheng today.

After the soldiers of the first target completed their training, they also began to congratulate the emperor in unison, but it made Yongzheng feel the excitement in his heart, as if something was flowing in his chest, completely igniting the excitement in his heart.

In the next hour or so, both the artillery team and the horse team showed their brilliance to Yongzheng, and their weapons and equipment brought Yongzheng enough confidence, so that he completely strengthened his heart.

........

"I want to do it myself! I want to lead my troops down to Shandong to defeat Chu Rebellion! ”

After returning to the Heart Cultivation Hall from the Xishan camp, Yongzheng couldn't wait to gather the ministers of military aircraft who went with him and announced his decision to them.

Has Yongzheng ever been on the battlefield? No.

But it is these people who have never been on the battlefield who always think that fighting a war is a simple matter, and they even secretly think in their hearts, what kind of god of war can even a yellow-haired boy like Ning Yu be, uncle, how many victories can I fight?

Although Yongzheng's real purpose is to solve the current crisis, such thoughts are not unheard of in his heart, or rather, after he saw the strength of the Eight Banners New Army, he completely lost confidence in the soldiers on the front line, and thought that he would personally reverse all this.

When the ministers of the Military Aircraft Department heard Yongzheng's words, they couldn't help but look at each other, but they also knew that this move was a crime against the king, so they knelt down at the moment, but they didn't say a word, but Xu Yuanmeng was stubborn and began to think of ways to dissuade Yongzheng while trying not to arouse the sensitivity in his heart.

"Your Majesty, Chu rebelled against the north and invaded Shandong, and now he is attacking in a big way...... Maybe you only need to send a general to gather the Shandong troops, or you can block it, and you must not put the emperor in danger! ”

Xu Yuanmeng said as he peeked at Yongzheng's reflection, but he happened to see the other party's cold face, and at that moment he felt a thrill in his heart, and hurriedly pulled Zhang Tingyu's sleeve beside him.

Zhang Tingyu had a wry smile on his face, of course he understood what Xu Yuanmeng meant, it was nothing more than to let him say something to dissuade Yongzheng from driving in person.

But the problem is that Zhang Tingyu understands Yongzheng, and if the other party does not make a decision, he may still adopt his own opinion, but when Yongzheng really makes up his mind, it is that the nine-headed horse can't pull it back, how to dissuade it? For the Honored Academy

"Enlighten the emperor, only the slave can have something to play."

"If you all want to dissuade me, then you don't need to say any more. The battle has been decided, and no one can change it. ”

Yongzheng's face had a hint of coldness, and he didn't want to continue to fight with the ministers.

A wry smile flashed on Zhang Tingyu's face, and he had to say in a low voice: "The emperor is personally recruited, and the servants will never dare to stop it a little since they are saddlers, but I also ask the emperor to know that there is news from the south today, the number of merchant ships going to sea in the south has plummeted, and it seems that a large number of ships have been requisitioned by Ning Chu.......

In fact, all the people present are the kind of astute people who draw inferences, through this news, almost everyone can conclude in their hearts that Ning Chu's merchant ships will not be reduced for no reason, there is only one reason, in addition to the two armies, there is also a large army that will attack Tianjin or Manchuria by sea, and there is a high probability that it will be Tianjin.

Yongzheng's face instantly became gloomy, and he didn't know if it was because of Zhang Tingyu or because of Ning Chu, he forcibly pulled a smile on his face, "What Hengchen said is not unreasonable, let me think about it again....... Think again......"

The so-called meaning of thinking about it again also means that the pro-campaign has come to an end, but when Yongzheng was completely dumbfounded, the rain basically stopped completely, and the exposure to the scorching sun was restored, and this also meant that once Ning Chu's attack was relaunched......

........

In late August, the First Group Army of the Fuhan Army swept through Shandong, divided its troops into several ways and occupied Caozhou Mansion and Dongchang Mansion one after another, and began to coerce Li Wei's Tai'an Mansion.

At this point, Tai'an Mansion has almost become the target of everyone, and Li Wei also felt the undercurrent in the army, and at this time, the Qing army in Tai'an had as many as 50,000 people, of which 30,000 were 30,000 green battalions taken from Jinan, and the other 20,000 were routs intercepted along the way.

50,000 people seems like a lot, but it has almost become impossible to hold Tai'an, after all, as long as a division of the Fu Han army appears in Tai'an, then it is currently impossible for the Qing army in Shandong to resist.

At this moment of crisis, Li Wei was also resisted by the generals in the army, so he took the opportunity to step down and retreat to Jinan Mansion with everyone, but at this point, the contradictions between the two sides gradually became clear.

For Li Wei, the reason why he was able to seize power in the previous time was to rely on the emperor's order letter, and secondly, to rely on killing, but now the emperor's prestige is not so good, and it is not realistic to kill people again, so Li Wei had no choice but to find Chen Shiqi again to communicate.

By the time Chen Shiqi arrived at the governor's yamen, Li Wei had already drunk four large bowls of tea, and his expression was even more calm, and he did not show any hesitation, and when he learned that Chen Shiqi had arrived at the door, he went to greet Chen Shiqi in person.

"Brother Bing, a few days ago, the younger brother left without telling him, which is really offended, and today I invited Brother Bingzhi to come over to the house, just to make amends."

Li Wei pulled Chen Shiqi's arm, but he called him extremely affectionately, while Chen Shiqi felt a little uncomfortable up and down, he clearly remembered clearly, Li Wei's temperament was rough, and he rarely called his subordinates so politely, and when he met before, he was still always called 'Lord Chen'.

"My lord is really polite, the overall situation of Shandong is in danger, and it all depends on my lord's support with my own strength, and the lower officials are really ashamed." Chen Shiqi replied lukewarmly.

Li Wei was smiling, he pulled Chen Shiqi to sit down in the flower hall, and there were a few home-cooked dishes and a jar of wine in front of him, I don't know what the flavor is, but it smells strange.

"When the younger brother came to Licheng, he didn't have time to drink and feast with Brother Bing, but today he was able to make up for it."

Li Wei poured wine into the wine glass in front of Chen Shiqi with a sincere face, and then poured wine for himself, not to mention anything else, but this gesture was fully done, and then he raised his glass and said apologetically: "No matter what you say, the younger brother really can't help Brother Bing before, if you can calm down the rebels in the future, the younger brother should make amends." ”

Seeing that Li Wei was able to do this to this extent with the dignity of a governor, he had to make Chen Shiqian sigh, "If the lower officials continue to take Qiao, I am afraid that it will violate the way of forgiveness of the saints, and the adults do not have to do this." ”

Li Wei saw that Chen Shiqi had finally let go of the mustard, so he had to smile bitterly, "Everyone wants to be the official of this feudal territory, but Brother Bingzhi should understand that the current position of the governor of Shandong is only precarious." ”

Since Chen Shiqi has understood Li Wei's approach, he will not be deliberately sarcastic at this time, but sighs: "The two armies are attacking the Central Plains together, even if we wait to hold Shandong, what's the point?" Could it be that Henan and Shanxi can hold it? Can Tianjin hold on? ”

Hearing Chen Shiqi say this, Li Wei put down his wine glass and said aggressively: "It seems that this is a major event in the world, but I'm afraid I can't hide it from Brother Bing." ”

Chen Shiqi smiled bitterly, "As long as you look at the palace report of the imperial court, it is not difficult to analyze, Chu Zhiming faced the two armies attacking Shandong and Henan, and then approaching Zhili, but there is a cold arrow behind this, which is aiming at Tianjin and the Beijing Division, if the Beijing Division is empty, then this arrow will be directly nailed to Tianjin!" ”

Li Wei put down the wine glass in his hand, "What does Brother Bingzhi mean, the imperial court will not send reinforcements to Shandong again?" ”

"That's right, Lord Duxian is dedicated to the court, and the lower officials naturally admire it, so even if Lord Duxian captures the three armies and wants to go south to stabilize the front, the lower officials will not stop him a little. But the lower officials still want to say that everything that Lord Duxian is doing now is just useless. ”

With the sound of a gurgling sound, I saw that the wine glass in front of Li Wei was brought to the ground for some reason, making a gurgling sound, and Li Wei's face was pale and gray, although he never worried about his own safety, but he was really facing Shi Hu, who was regarded as an outcast, and he was somewhat desperate.

Chen Shiqi sighed deeply, "This official of the Qing Dynasty, I'm afraid it's really difficult to be a ......."
