Chapter 401: The Beginning of Troubled Times
Songtao, Zhengda Battalion, a tragic battle has just ended, it is a lose-lose battle, and no one has taken advantage.
The Miao People's Volunteer Army led by Shiliu Deng defeated the three battalions of the Guizhou Governor Peng Tingdong's subordinate to the front, and the more than 2,000 green battalions of Hua Lianbu, the general soldier of Nanlong Town, and also beheaded Hua Lianbu himself.
But he still failed to defeat the Zhengda camp, and the reason why he was able to kill Hua Lianbu was because the Zhongren Righteous Army in Nancage Town sent a few people to cross the mountains and mountains to the Zhengda camp at the risk of death.
They brought the head of Cao Tingkui, the prefect of the South Cage, and the head of the Tusi Xuan to comfort Long Yue, and then the military spirit of the entire green camp in the South cage town immediately collapsed, and their families were all in the South cage Mansion.
However, when they subsequently attacked the headquarters of Peng Tingdong, the governor of Guizhou, who was also in the village outside the Tucheng of Zhengda Ying, the Miao people suffered a big loss, their weapons were too poor, and they basically had no armor, and they fought bravely with blood.
So although Peng Tingdong was driven away, it was only driven away, and the casualties of Peng Tingdong's third battalion were not large, and Miao Min himself paid the price of hundreds of dead and wounded.
After driving away Peng Tingdong, the unrelenting Shi Liu Deng continued to besiege Miao Wang City in the Zhengda camp, and stormed for more than three hours, but he still couldn't take it!
For the Qing court, the attempt to gather and annihilate Shi Liu Deng and others in this Zhengda camp failed, and they also killed the general soldiers of a town, which was naturally a big defeat.
But for Shi Liu Deng, this battle is also worth the loss, Miao Wang City was not defeated, the title of Miao King was not obtained, one or two thousand people were killed and wounded, and even a few grains were not caught, and some Miao leaders did not want to mix with him.
But fortunately, the green camp in Nancage Town has been solved, and now no one can keep up with them who are drilling into the mountains.
"Let's go! Let's go back to Songtao, there is no oil and water in this Miao Wang City, don't fight, go back to Songtao City, eat meat and drink wine! ”
Shiliu Deng Qiang shouted with a pretended to be indifferent, and several of his henchmen and leaders also followed, so this Miao team of 178,000 people left, just ran from Songtao to Tongren, and turned back!
Songtao Taiping Fort, it is said that the invincible soldiers of the Eight Banners are repaired here, but they do not have the usual nostrils on their faces, and everyone seems to be a little heavy.
As soon as the report of defeat arrived, Hua Lianbu, the chief soldier of Nancage Town, was killed in battle, and more than 2,000 soldiers in Nancage Town, the green camp, were scattered on the spot.
Guizhou Governor Peng Tingdong's third battalion was also defeated, but fortunately, the loss was not large, Peng Tingdong collected more than 2,000 remnants, but he was unable to continue to follow the Miao rebels, so now where the rebellious Miao people went, no one knows.
What's even more worrying is the news that the Namgo Shojin riot and the capture of the city of Namgo were captured.
For a time, the whole Guizhou Province was in turmoil, and under the instigation of these man-made counter-successes, there were people in Zunyi and Huaining in northern Qianbei and Welling Hall in western Qianxi!
It's just that what these ordinary Eight Banner soldiers don't know is that the terrible is still to come, and the Governor of Yungui and Jiayong Marquis Fukangan, whom they haven't seen for several days, are running out, but this news has been blocked for the time being, but the urgent envoy to the capital has already set off.
Fukangan was injured in the snowy mountains of Tibet and had not yet recovered, so he was sent to Guizhou Province by Qianlong in a hurry, and after more than three months of rapid marching, he found that the entire eastern and western Guizhou and western Hunan were ulcerated, and Fukangan fell ill immediately.
Waiting until yesterday, Hua Lianbu's death in battle and the news of the capture of Nanlongfu City came together, and Fukangan, who could barely support it, was in a hurry, and fell down with blood in his mouth!
There is not even a decent doctor in the Miaodi mountain area where this Taiping camp is located, although someone has been sent to Changsha to invite a famous doctor, but who knows if it will be too late?
In the governor's tent, Fukangan's face was like gold paper, his eyes were flushed, and his throat was like pulling a bellows, and he had to take several breaths to barely meet his body's need for oxygen.
And when you smoke and smoke, you will cough up involuntarily, and the sputum is no longer bloodshot, but a small half of the phlegm, and a large half of the blood.
"Hey... Fast! Fukangan struggled to pull and Lin He's hand and shouted his words.
"Shiliu Deng is not worried, and the people of Nanlong Town are just ringworm scabies, dangerous... Danger comes from the south, from the south! ”
"Southside?" He Shen, the younger brother of the famous corrupt official and the governor of Sichuan, He Lin, looked at Fukangan in some surprise.
"Who is the Hou Ye talking about? The King of the Song Dynasty? ”
The upper-level officials of the Qing Dynasty, except for Fukangan and the current governor of Liangguang, Zhu Qi, actually not many people regarded Ye Kai as a major disaster.
For the level of transportation in this era, the Qing Dynasty was too big, and the news of Guangdong, even if it was fast, would take 20 days to reach Beijing.
What's more, Ye Sheng, who pretended to be Ye Kai at the beginning, left a very good impression on the flag people in Beijing.
No one can connect a guy who is extremely obedient, likes poetry, loves to drink flower wine and play pai gow, and an anti-king.
He Lin also met Ye Sheng once when he returned to Beijing, and he had a good impression of him, plus he was the governor of Sichuan, which was located in the southwest and had inconvenient transportation, so he really didn't know much about the changes in the south.
"Brother Xi Zhai, the Jiaozhi Song King in Shangjing back then is likely to be fake, and the real Jiaozhi Song King has been ascending to the dragon!
This thief is bold and thoughtful, very good at using soldiers, his army is called the Revival Army, although there are only 10,000 or 20,000 people, but it is extremely elite, everyone is equipped with spontaneous firearms, and there are hundreds of large and small cannons, far better than us, and its sailors are even more elite, it is said that they have completely subdued the South China group of thieves! ”
"Fake?" He Lin was shocked, if what Fukangan said was true, then the King of Song would be very suspicious, and he would never dare to risk sending a guy to the capital to deceive the saint.
"Fake!" Fukangan nodded hard, "This thief's ambition is not small, and he is from Guangdong Province, and there are anti-thief parties in Fujian, Guangdong and Guizhou who collude with him, if he doesn't move, it will be a shocking disaster!" ”
After saying a word, Fukangan gasped sharply again, he only felt dizzy for a while, and his chest seemed to be pressed against a big stone.
He Lin hurriedly called the military doctor who accompanied the army in, and it took a long time for Fukangan to slowly relieve his breath.
"I guess it won't work, but the thousand Jianrui battalion masters here can't afford to lose, they are the foundation of the country, the foundation of our Manchurians, Brother Xizhai, I entrust them to you, you must take them out!
There are not many of our Eight Banners, don't lose it in vain, this Guizhou Province is already deserted, even if the whole province is erosive?
But Guangdong Province is the land of wealth of the imperial court, where the taxes are, there must be no loss, I have written a chapter to the saint, please transfer to the governor of Liangguang, remember, south! South! Don't miss anything! ”
"Master Hou! Master Hou! Brother Yaolin! ”
The distraught He Lin yelled anxiously, it turned out that as soon as Fukangan finished speaking, he tilted his head and passed out!
