Chapter 323: The Wing Palace

For Liu Chang's domineering, Demons not only did not express disgust, on the contrary, he was concerned about another question: "Then how to settle the cost of after-sales service we provide?" ”

Liu Chang was also very simple: "You talk to the Taiping King, they have always been very generous in this regard!" ”

Since the Taiping army was a new army and had no burden, it was particularly active in the use of new equipment, and was willing to spend a lot of money in this area, which both De Mons and An Rui were aware of.

Anrui is concerned about another question: "What about the price we ship to Ningbo?" ”

Liu Chang was also very simple: "It's still the old price, I just make a little difference!" ”

This is not a matter of a little price difference, Anrui and De Mons both know that Liu Chang will definitely make a lot of money in the middle, but as arms dealers, they have no reason to object to such a resale, they have already made enough profits.

Therefore, An Rui agreed: "You are free to sell the troops of the Taiping Army, including Jiangxi and Anhui, but not only in these two provinces." ”

Smuggling on the Yangtze River is highly profitable, but the volume is too small, and it is not as convenient as taking the land route.

……

Jiangxi. Copper beams.

"Winged King! Wing King! Wing King! ”

Known as the Winged King, he was a young man who rode on a white horse and took away everyone's grace.

He has fortitude, wisdom, and strategy, and is one of the most important figures in the entire Heavenly Kingdom, but this Ji King Shi Dakai is surprisingly young.

He was born in 1831, and he is only twenty-five years old this year, and he is already said to be the top few people in the entire heavenly kingdom.

Countless yellow-robed barefoot soldiers walked slowly by Shi Dakai's side, among them there were only 12 out of 10 long-haired recruits, and short-haired recruits were the majority, but with the troops composed of these recruits, Shi Dakai had already swept Jiangxi and won a complete victory.

This is the Wing King Shi Dakai!

Shi Dakai is next to his general Tong Ronghai, this person's surname is Hong, Anhui is not a person, Xianfeng joined the Taiping Army with the people of the Kai clan for three years, because he avoided Hong Xiuquan's Hong character changed his surname to Tong, and in two or three years, he was already a number of new generals under King Ji.

It's just that this person is a fierce horse, and ordinary people can't control it, so he opened his mouth and said: "King Ji, your brother-in-law can't be reliable!" If another brother-in-law marries a girl like the eldest sister, he will definitely give gifts to his parents' family, but he is good, and insists that we exchange gold and silver for foreign guns and cannons! ”

In fact, with Tong Ronghai's qualifications, his weight is not enough to manage the family affairs of the Wing King, and it should be Zhang Suimou who wants to talk about it.

Zhang Suimou can be said to be the second person under Yiwang, and his current official position is the same as Liu Chang's, he is a checkpoint, this person is not only a general who is in charge, but also Shi Dakai's mastermind.

It's just that now Zhang Suimou is not by Shi Dakai's side, but Tong Ronghai leads the team to protect the Wing King, and Tong Ronghai, a fierce horse, vented his dissatisfaction with Liu Chang for the first time.

Wing King Shi Dakai smiled faintly, not taking Tong Ronghai's words in his eyes: "It's not easy for my brother-in-law!" He just laid some ground, and he was powerless to help me, but this time my brother-in-law showed sincerity! ”

Although Liu Chang said that it was mutually beneficial, but in reality, it was the Taiping Army that took a big advantage.

Liu Chang has already agreed, as long as Shi Da Kaiken takes out gold and silver, then there is no problem with all the arms and materials, he has prepared 500 barrels of foreign fire and ammunition alone, thousands of foreign guns and cannons, and countless ammunition for other weapons, and has opened Ningbo Haikou, and the help can be endless. …,

Shi Dakai is a very intelligent young man, he said to Tong Ronghai: "Rong Hai, there are too many recruits in our team, although we are invincible all the way, but the field battle is acceptable, it is not easy to attack Nanchang City!" ”

There are about 30,000 recruits under Shi Dakai, and the number of veterans is not much, although now they can gather together with victory, but for attacking a fortified city like Nanchang, Shi Dakai is also bottomless: "But with foreign guns and cannons, then we are plugged in with wings, what is a mere Zeng demon head." ”

"Hmm!" Tong Ronghai was still a little unhappy: "But your brother-in-law is not authentic, why does he have to give us a batch of foreign guns and cannons, and now he still earns a Chinese fee!" ”

Although Tong Ronghai's words were heavy, Shi Dakai didn't have this fierce horse in his eyes, he just said: "But compared to the foreigners who transported it to Zhenjiang and Nanjing, I don't know how much cheaper, our Taiping Army has always been guarding the gold and silver mountains and can't buy things, but now it's good!" ”

The Taiping Army practiced public ownership, although the officers and soldiers made a lot of money privately, and many officers and soldiers liked to wear gold and silver with them, but there were by no means a few gold and silver mountains in the holy treasury, but even if they were so rich, they could not buy food, and finally lost the country.

At this time, the food problem is not obvious enough, but the source of this weapon has always been the henchman of the Taiping army, there are too many recruits, you have to have good guns and good artillery to defeat the Qing army, but from the Yangtze River to wait for the rabbit, but it is a stupid way, directly to Shanghai to purchase, and it is difficult to transport to Nanjing.

Therefore, Yiwang felt that this was a pie falling from the world: "Let the holy treasury prepare 300,000 silver, and we will send troops to the Zhejiang-Fujian border, and when the time comes, when we buy these foreign guns and cannons, we will break Nanchang City in one fell swoop and destroy the Zeng demon head." ”

In fact, now a direct attack on Nanchang City is also three or four percent certain, but Shi Dakai has many new soldiers, and there is also a possibility of failure.

This is Shi Dakai's biggest shortcoming, he is more resourceful and less decisive, he lacks determination when he is critical, and her sister Shi Tinglan is a problem.

Before the Tianjing Incident, Shi Dakai had the support of the entire Heavenly Kingdom, and this problem had not been exposed, but when he broke away from the Heavenly Expedition, the problem of not being able to grit his teeth at this critical time was exposed, and tens of thousands of troops traveled thousands of miles, but they never won a few battles, won a few famous cities, and often stopped attacking after a slight setback, and finally failed at the hands of a group of Tusi and Tuyong, although it was the fate of a tragic hero, but it could not but be said that this was a predestined result.

It's just that now he feels that with a few Western siege artillery in hand, he seems to have the certainty of capturing Nanchang City.

……

"I will never forget your Nanxi Brigade!"

Although it has been renamed Nanxi Brigade, most people, including Liu Chang, are still accustomed to calling it Nanxi Brigade: "Brigade Commander Huo, Regiment Commander Yun, the main axis this time will be handed over to you!" ”

Over there, Yun Tian asked a question: "The main force of the Ox Knife Regiment has not yet been returned to the formation in Chuzhou, although this operation is known as a brigade, but we only have one infantry regiment as the backbone!" ”

Speaking of which, when it was originally formed, it was prepared to divide the Oxamore Regiment from the Nanxi Brigade, but Huo Qiu and Yun Tianzong insisted that the Niudao Regiment stay in the Nanxi Brigade based on the relationship between history and other factors.

It's just that now the Niudao Regiment is far away in Chuzhou for public security operations, and it has not been returned to the formation for a while, and the entire Second Brigade has only one infantry regiment, the third regiment, that is, the famous Nanxi Regiment and its subordinate teams.

Therefore, as soon as Yun Tianzong raised this question, Liu Chang also had a headache: "The fourth regiment cannot be returned to the establishment in a short period of time, although the public security operation in Chuzhou has come to an end, but the fourth regiment must be ready to enter Fujian at any time!" ”…,

Speaking of the battle into Fujian, Liu Chang's mood seemed very happy, this time the operation into Fujian only dispatched a total of five infantry battalions of the Shi detachment and the Qu detachment, but they faced the Rao Tingxuan detachment that had been beaten by the Hong Army once, but they fought like a bamboo, and soon swept through the entire northern Fujian and captured several county seats.

Under these circumstances, Lu Ziyun immediately threw in the reinforcements of two infantry battalions, and prepared the 4th Infantry Regiment to be ready to enter Fujian at any time, and more importantly, the prospecting team sent to northern Fujian discovered small-scale coal and iron ore there.

Although the scale of these coal mines and iron ores discovered now is very small, and the cost is too great if they are transported by land, in view of the fact that the Hongjun cannot find coal and iron in the whole of Zhejiang, it is feasible to build a small-scale mining and refining base there - the key to winning the battle in this time and space is to have steel and coal.

In this case, it is naturally impossible for Lu Ziyun's Fourth Infantry Regiment to return the formation in time as Yun Tianzong imagined, and Liu Chang can only say apologetically: "I'm afraid I will have to borrow the Fourth Regiment for three months, and after three months, I will definitely let the Fourth Regiment return to the formation, but I can assign the main force of the cavalry regiment to you!" ”

"That's good!" Huo Qiu said happily: "With the cavalry regiment, we don't have to worry about the flanks, just storm the past!" By the way, where are we going to fight? ”

"Hit Yanzhou first!" Liu Chang said with a smile: "Zhang Yuliang is your old opponent, are you afraid of him!" ”

"Don't be afraid to beat others, it's absolutely no problem to beat Zhang Yuliang!" Yun Tianzong was already relieved: "The defeated generals are not enough to worry about!" ”

Liu Chang reminded them again: "Zhang Yuliang has no other skills, he still has a bit of bravery, you have to be careful!" ”

"Yes!" Huo Qiu has already agreed: "We will fight Yanzhou Mansion!" ”

Yanzhou Mansion is the poorest of the five prefectures in Zhejiang that have not been captured by the Hong Army, in fact, after entering the Republic of China and the founding of the People's Republic of China, this ancient Yanzhou no longer exists, and is directly included in Yanzhou.

Garrisoned here was Zhang Yuliang's troops in the Jiangnan battalion, which was already a defeated general under the Hong Army, and the Hong Army had inflicted heavy losses on Zhang Yuliang's troops more than once.

However, after Zhang Yuliang garrisoned Yanzhou, he actually suppressed the popular rebellion here, gathered the Tuyong and Green Battalion soldiers here, and formed a garrison of five or six thousand people, which became the key to the entire Zhejiang war situation.

As soon as the Yanzhou Mansion was lost, the communication between the Hangzhou Mansion and the Quzhou Mansion was immediately cut off, and the Qing army in Zhejiang was cut into two sections.

But the battle in Yanzhou Mansion became very fierce from the beginning.
