Chapter 1601 Killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys
PS: Thank you for the tips of the book friends "20171201200734129" and "Youshui Yichuan".
Most of the conditions proposed by Jiang Quanyi are lion's big mouth, but they are not fantastical, and Lan Bai himself cannot accept it, but the Qing court may agree to this kind of condition, which makes Lan Bai feel a pity for attacking and a tasteless feeling.
There are two reasons why Lan Bai did not attack, one is to reduce casualties, under Haizhou City, the casualties of his troops add up to far more than Jiang Quanyi's troops, even if these thousand people are destroyed, at most it will be a tie.
The Qing army is tens of thousands of people, including the yellow flag soldiers, as well as the new army, plus Lan Bai's own private soldiers (all Manchu flags have talented private soldiers), with many blows and outnumbered, but also like this bird, even if the capture of the small Haizhou City, it is not a merit, but sets off the incompetence of Lan Bai.
But if you can force the Northern Expeditionary Army in front of you, then the meaning is different.
Since the establishment of the Northern Expeditionary Army and the beginning of the war between the North and the South, the Northern Expeditionary Army has had captured but never surrendered in large numbers, especially an army with thousands of formations like this.
If Lan Bai succeeds in forcing the surrender, this credit will be far greater than the capture of a small Haizhou City.
The second reason for not attacking is that Lan Bai really doesn't want to see it again, and the firearms in the hands of the defenders are thrown on the heads of his own army, to be honest, the firearms of the Northern Expeditionary Army have a shadow in Lan Bai's heart.
If you can force it down, then this batch of firearms can be in your hands, and this simple algorithm can make sense even if you don't know a lot of big words.
A strange scene happened, the defenders of only 1,000 people, three or four miles away from the city, were surrounded by the Qing army, and the two were less than 100 steps apart, so they did not fight.
You must know that not long ago, the defenders were still driving the Qing army like ducks, and the two sides were fighting to the point of red eyes, and at this time, the two sides continued to send envoys, you come and go, but it seems to be a friendly army.
It can be said that the world is big, and there are no surprises.
Impressive!
……。
At this time, Jiang Quanyi suffered the greatest doubts from his soldiers since he took office as the commander of the Taizhou Weidu.
His authority was challenged.
I have to say that in the hearts of the soldiers, Jiang Quanyi is a monument, sacred and powerful.
Because of this, the soldiers were willingly driven by Jiang Quanyi, knowing that they could not do it, and followed Jiang Quanyi with their lives, in order to make meritorious contributions and seal their wives and sons.
can surrender, these two words make the soldiers dare not think about it.
The welfare of the Northern Expeditionary Army is very good, so good that even the Qing army is envious, but the military discipline of the Northern Expeditionary Army is stricter, and it is okay to die in battle, but it is not allowed to surrender, otherwise it will involve the family.
For example, a soldier of the Northern Expeditionary Army, one person is a soldier, the whole family is exempt from taxes, one son is enrolled in school for free, if he dies in battle, the bereavement pension is not counted, and one son can also be appointed to enter the military academy, and he will be an officer when he comes out, and so on.
But if the battlefield surrenders, then the punishment will be even heavier, the exempted taxes will be collected, and the children who go to school will be persuaded to quit, and this family will be blacklisted, as long as the General's Mansion exists for a day, there will be no more days.
This is not the most severe, the most severe comes from the neighborhood, Jiangnan Zhufu, which has been in business for nearly six years, and people's hearts have begun to change, plus the students of the three major colleges and universities have talked with Hanming Banyue about public opinion...... If someone really descends, then his family may not have a good life.
Therefore, at this time, even if everyone understood that Jiang Quanyi was perfunctory, some people jumped out and accused Jiang Quanyi, and received a response from the officers and men of the whole army.
"It is better to die standing than to live on your knees!"
The soldiers used their roars to strongly oppose Jiang Quanyi's peace with Lan Bai.
Looking at the angry faces, Jiang Quanyi was helpless.
He knew that at this time, military law was not good, and it was also true that all laws were only effective for those who were willing to abide by the law.
Jiang Quanyi, who had always ordered the law to follow, finally compromised in front of his soldiers, and he ordered that night, break through to the east.
God knows what kind of tragedy it will be on a battlefield that has been surrounded like a bucket without the slightest concealment or cover-up, and how can the enemy break through if he has cavalry?
This is death, my brethren! Jiang Quanyi hissed sadly in his heart, but at this time, he really had nothing to do.
At this time, it will be dark before it is dark, and there will be about three hours in the ionic fashion.
Perhaps the heavens heard the prayer in Jiang Quanyi's heart.
Someone came, he, changed and turned everything around.
……。
The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.
Shen Zhiyuan was not famous in the Northern Expeditionary Army, and was even spurned by the soldiers for joining the Qing court and leading the army to attack Tongzhou.
But Shen Zhiyuan was in the Qing army sequence, and he was also very popular.
It's not that Shen Zhiyuan made a name for himself in the Qing court's war, nor that he married a Dorogge and was a nobleman, but that Shen Zhiyuan would be a man.
As early as when the Qing court newly organized the first firearms battalion, Shen Zhiyuan was able to "sell" the eight beauties that the Qing court rewarded him and Qian Qiaogong and exchanged them for silver to supplement the soldiers.
Such a general may not be affirmed by his superiors, but he will definitely be able to win the hearts of soldiers.
Therefore, in the evening, Shen Zhiyuan, who came from Ziyang with dozens of elite horses, was happily rushed up by the soldiers of the new army when he approached the periphery of the Qing army.
"Why is the general here?" An adjutant general of the Forces nouvelles rushed to hear the news.
Shen Zhiyuan smiled and chatted with the soldiers, asking east and west.
But when this vice president came, Shen Zhiyuan's face suddenly sank, "Take it!" ”
Take?
Take whom?
When the soldiers opened their mouths, Shen Zhiyuan's entourage quickly stepped forward and pressed the deputy general to the ground.
"General, what are you going to do? What is the crime of lowly office? The adjutant shouted in panic.
Shen Zhiyuan slowly walked in front of him, "Who am I?" Who are you? ”
"The general is the capital of the new army, and the lowly is the general's adjutant general......."
"You still know I'm Du Gong?" Shen Zhiyuan said leisurely, "Who gave you the order to mobilize the new army to attack Haizhou?" Why didn't General Ben know? To whom are you accountable? Whose orders are you listening to? ”
A series of questions made the lieutenant squeak for a while.
Shen Zhiyuan's face froze, and he shouted: "Drag it aside...... Chopped! ”
This is the power of the main general, the deputy general of the 30,000 new army, who is in the fourth rank of the military, and he will cut it when he says it.
Shen Zhiyuan's entourage immediately dragged the adjutant general to the side, and at this time, the adjutant general collapsed, and he hissed: "General...... It is ...... to be unjust in his humble duties and to mobilize the new army The prince personally gave the order ....... ”
Shen Zhiyuan's face twitched, he slowly turned his head away, and said in a deep voice: "What are you waiting for...... Chop! ”
"Wrongful duty...... Injustice....... ”
Before the word "vain" could be spoken, the knife fell, and a human head suddenly fell to the ground.
The hundreds of officers and men of the New Army who were onlookers were so frightened that they didn't even dare to breathe.
