Chapter 136: Soldiers Leave Jiangxi

Although Yang Lin was already mentally prepared, when he knelt on the ground and listened to Kangxi's holy message, he felt very sad in his heart.

"The criminal minister accepted the order, but he also asked the lord to tell the emperor, Chu Wei should not be underestimated!" Saying that, Yang Lin took out a letter from his sleeve, "This is a letter of invitation written by the criminal minister these days, and please submit it to the saint." ”

In Yang Lin's letter, she not only wrote her own intention to ask for guilt, but also offered her reflections and suggestions to Kangxi on this battle.

The Fu Han army rose too quickly, and the Qing army was basically in a state of being stunned, and it was often one-sided, which made Yang Lin pay special attention to the Fu Han army from the beginning, and the battle of Changsha was a failure, but it also made Yang Lin realize the shortcomings of the current Qing army.

Whether it was out of loyalty to Kangxi or his own unwillingness, in these days of licking his wounds, Yang Lin greatly analyzed the current disadvantages of the green battalion, and put forward the final suggestion, that is, to eliminate the green battalion and train a new army of firearms, so as to have a way to win. Although Yang Lin still had something deeper in her heart that she wanted to say, she finally chose to give up due to various concerns.

Seeing that everyone was escorting the prisoner car away, the governor of Liangguang in the Qing Dynasty was escorted back to Beijing like this, but this scene made people look very depressed and a little more chilling.

Today's imperial court treats Han Chen, if there is a slight mistake, it is a big punishment, but it is doubly used for the banner people and noble ministers, isn't this exactly the case with the Man Pi who died in Hubei before? After repeated defeats, he did not receive any substantive punishment, and still led the title of governor of Huguang, and Yang Lin was defeated for the first time, so he locked up and took it back to Beijing to ask for the crime.

With such a change, the green battalion soldiers, whose morale was originally very low, became frightened birds, and everyone was worried about their future situation, and many people even fled the camp at night.

When Yang Lin was locked up, most of the original cronies and generals of the Green Battalion were also taken away, and only one garrison Qian Ying was left here.

Not to mention the Qing army in Xuling at this time, on June 28, the first division of Ningyu finally set off and set off along Zhuzhou all the way to Xuling, the distance on this road is not far, only about 200 miles, so at the speed of the Han army at this time, it will be able to arrive in about four days.

The Qing army of Xuling who got the news was also frightened by this news, and if they retreated again at this time, it would be in Jiangxi, but this was not a good strategy for these Qing troops in Guangxi and Guangzhou, and before the imperial court issued the order to move the town, if they wantonly entered Jiangxi, it would be a great crime of rebellion.

In particular, the current Qing army has no leader, and it is impossible to make effective countermeasures at all, Qian Ying invited several thousands of generals with prestige in the army at this time, and wanted to give advice, but everyone quarreled endlessly, so they wasted a few days, and waited until the Fu Han army surrounded Yuling City, and there was no result.

Qian Ying was desperate at this time, and no longer discussed with everyone, so he directly asked people to open the city gate, and took the entire city of 3,000 green battalion soldiers to join the Han army. As for some of these stubborn people, they were also eliminated under Qian Ying's various means, in exchange for the livelihood of these 3,000 people.

Ning Yu has always been very tolerant of these surrendered generals, especially among the 3,000 people, there are many Guangxi wolf soldiers with considerable combat effectiveness, so he was kind to persuade him, and rewarded Qian Ying in public as the commander of the second independent division, and then incorporated these thousands of green battalion soldiers into the command of the second division.

In fact, Ning Yu didn't have much hope for these troops and generals, if these people fought a good battle, it would be fine, but if they encountered some adversity, it would be good not to defect, I really can't believe it. However, Ning Yu's idea is also very simple, buying horse bones for thousands of miles, it is precisely because of the preferential treatment of the green battalion generals that it has been exchanged for today's situation where the wind hears the wind has fallen.

Ning Yu did not stop in Xuling, but directly took the men and horses of the first division and the second division all the way to the east, but did not deliberately hide the traces along the way, first, so many people couldn't hide, and secondly, this is also what he wants to show Cha Bina, the master is right under your nose to enter Jiangxi, you have the ability to send someone to chase me!

Zha Bina who got the news was indeed quite a headache at this time, he was originally a Manchurian from the Yellow Banner, and in his early years, he was appointed to the right squire of the military department because of his merits, and he was also a figure among the Manchurian and Mongolian nobles, but since Cha Bona was promoted to the governor of Liangjiang by Kangxi, he commanded the Qing troops in Jiangxi, Anhui, Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and he had never had a good day.

In addition to the 80,000 green battalions, there are also 20,000 people of the Eight Banners Army, which seems to be strong, but the relationship is intertwined and very complicated, and it is unrealistic to want to sort it out.

Among the provinces south of the Yangtze River, there are two high-powered Eight Banner garrison generals, namely Jiangning General Yongjina and Hangzhou General Duosiha, in terms of rank, they are all military attaches from the first rank, and they are all from the three banners, and in terms of status, they are not much different from Cha Bina, even if Cha Bina came with the emperor's order, he had nothing to do with these two people, so it was related to the military affairs of Jiangning Eight Banners and Hangzhou Eight Banners, and they couldn't bypass these two people.

In addition to the Eight Banners, the green battalion system is not simple, the green battalion of the four provinces seems to have as many as 80,000 people, but after all, they are all soldiers from the Jiangnan Water Town, and they are slightly inferior to the Huguang soldiers and the Liangguang soldiers, not to mention that the 80,000 green battalions have several provincial governors, left and right envoys, and admirals and other important personnel, and it is not easy to sort out in a short period of time.

This is also why when the Fu Han army attacked left and right, Cha Bina was still in a state of indifference, not that he wanted to stand by and watch, but he was really powerless.

Especially after the fall of Changsha City, Cha Bina had already noticed that something was wrong, and originally pointed out that Yang Lin could delay for a while longer, and then march into Wuchang after he sorted it out, but Cha Bina and Yang Lin both underestimated the strength of the Fu Han army, resulting in the collapse of the 40,000 Qing army in one day.

Seeing that Yang Lin's 40,000 green battalion couldn't delay the time, Cha Bina didn't care about it anymore, and hurriedly invited Jiangning General Yongjina and Hangzhou General Duosiha to tell the current facts one by one, and in the words, he also disregarded his identity and directly threatened the two, if he didn't cooperate, he would definitely go to the emperor to participate in the performance, which temporarily suppressed the two in the name of the governor of Liangjiang.

After unifying the military power of the Eight Banners in Jiangnan, Cha Bina began to use the Eight Banners to break the intertwined Han forces in the green camp in Jiangnan, and directly dismissed two generals, which barely put the 100,000 Qing troops together and was able to reach the level of going to the battlefield.

However, by the time Cha Bina raised his head from this mess, Ning Yu's first division had already arrived at Yuanzhou's capital and captured Pingxiang and Yichun one after another.
