"Commander, your mind is too broad! ~~~ It was Feng Sixian's deputy who spoke, and Chu Nanhua, the deputy head of the regiment. ”
He is Yang Xiuqing's old department, but in the Kingdom of Heaven is also a small brigade commander, usually can only lead 180 people, after arriving in Hangzhou Mansion, due to Wei Huichang's excessive killing, he can no longer find a higher officer than him, so he let this brigade commander serve as the deputy commander.
He was very satisfied with his position, and after three or five days of getting along, he also knew that Feng Sixian, the regiment commander, was very good at talking, so he said very directly: "Now the troops of Hangzhou Prefecture, except for those large and small units in the city that are not under our system or under us, are only six battalions when they are full, and there are a lot of bandits, regimental training, and bandits outside the city, and we have no spare strength to divide our troops to maintain law and order, let alone support Huzhou Mansion and Jiaxing Mansion!" ”
But Feng Sixian's thoughts were different, he told Chu Nanhua: "Don't look at the strength of Hangzhou Mansion, but in the city, there are already thousands of people, although they are all independent units, but it is not a problem for the city to have these thousands of people, as for outside the city, although there are bandits and regimental training, but they don't dare to make too much trouble, not to mention that when our Hong Army took Taizhou Mansion, it was only three infantry battalions!" ”
His statement is obvious, that is, to maintain law and order in the entire Hangzhou Prefecture, at least at a minimum, those three infantry battalions are enough, and in that case, the entire 64th Regiment can be liberated.
"What's more, there are so many gentry in Hangzhou, and they don't want the place to be chaotic, with their help, we will send the main force to sweep a few times, and the large bandits and Tuanyong will definitely disappear soon!" Feng Sixian is very experienced in law and order warfare.
He knew that the Hangzhou Mansion was received peacefully, except for the battles in the city, almost all of them were received peacefully, and the gentry, especially the rural gentry and Haoqiang, were the most concerned about their property, as long as they were converted into township soldiers and township officials in the Hongjun system, they would maintain the most basic law and order - at least there would be no large-scale rebellion, provided that the Hongjun would not lose the battle in Huzhou Mansion and Jiaxing Mansion.
Chu Nanhua had only served as a brigade commander in the Taiping Army before, and when he saw Feng Sixian confidently say this, he immediately believed it: "Those three battalions are enough?" Where are we going? ”
"Three infantry battalions can maintain minimal law and order!" Feng Sixian said: "We can apply to the inspection point
Transfer some of the troops from the old base area, for example, there are so many independent regiments and independent battalions in Taizhou Prefecture, there is no need to let them be in charge of the security operations in Hangzhou Prefecture, and we can reach out to support Huzhou Mansion and Jiaxing Mansion! ”
This is an old opinion, Chu Nanhua asked again: "Then do we support Jiaxing Mansion or Huzhou Mansion?" ”
"Huzhou!" Feng Sixian didn't think about it, and replied directly: "Concentrate the main force of the regiment in the direction of Huzhou!" ”
"Why 'Set Sail' for Fei Feiya?" Another cadre asked puzzledly: "Why do you mainly support the direction of Huzhou!" ”
"The reason is very simple, now the head of Bao Meiying's detachment has four infantry battalions in Jiaxing Mansion, plus the local township soldiers, it should be enough to maintain the entire Jiaxing Mansion, plus Shanghai is a weak enemy.......
He pointed to the map and said: "Huzhou Mansion is different, after this Beijian Advance, the strength of the entire Huzhou Mansion is an infantry battalion of the Dragon Lance Division, a newly established infantry battalion, and the main force of the teaching regiment, although it is also four infantry battalions, but the difficulties they face are much greater!" ”…,
He pointed his finger to the north, which was the place where Anhui was located, that is, the famous Ningde Mansion and Guangdezhou, and the Qing army in these places was actually the subordinate of the Jiangnan battalion, "Qi Sai Fei Ya".
In the past, He Guiqing has always advocated that Ningfang should be the most important, trying to isolate the Taiping army outside Zhejiang through Ningfang, so Ningguofu garrisoned as many as 17,000 troops, and even sent Deng Shaoliang and other fierce generals to garrison, but most of these soldiers were borrowed from the Jiangnan battalion, and they did not belong to the jurisdiction of Zhejiang, and Zhejiang only had financial obligations.
However, after the Rainbow Army uprising, the Qing army in Ningguofu lost the financial support of Zhejiang and was in a very difficult situation, and they faced the offensive of the Taiping army, so they could not take care of Zhejiang.
In the sixth year of Xianfeng in history, Ning Guofu fell into the Taiping Army, but after that, the Jiangnan camp took advantage of the chaos after the Tianjing incident to regain Ning Guofu, but in this time and space, now Ning Guofu is still in the hands of the Jiangnan camp of the Qing army, and more than 10,000 people are stationed.
"After our army entered Suchang, the Jiangnan battalion must intend to attack from Ningguo and Guangde, attacking my flank, the teaching regiment stationed in Huzhou, that is, the second infantry regiment, has always been accustomed to public security operations, not long in field sieges, when this big enemy, a little insufficient, I have to rush to the aid of the 64th regiment!"
This is a bit excessive, no matter what, the sixty-fourth regiment is a new unit, and the second regiment is one of the oldest units of the Hong Army, but the ugly things they did in Jiande made the entire Hong Army remember deeply, so Feng Sixian made up his mind to rush to the aid of Huzhou: "At that time, I also fought on the enemy's flank, and I could greatly defeat the demons!" ”
Chu Nanhua immediately agreed: "Good idea, good idea!" This battle must be a good start for our 64th regiment! ”
With the rapid passage of time, the units of the 1st Division already had the initial experience of resisting the Qing cavalry, and even the newly established 63rd Regiment was able to calmly line up under the onslaught of hundreds of horses.
Although this was only the experience on the exercise ground, and there was still a big gap between it and the real battlefield, it had already made Liu Changbing's determination to enter the Soviet Union, so on the fourteenth day of his arrival in Huzhou, on the 18th day of the fourth lunar month in 1856, the whole Huzhou was in a strong atmosphere of war.
Infantry battalions and infantry companies were assembled one by one, and artillery, baggage, engineers, and cavalry were mixed in the ranks of the infantry. ”
"Got it!"
"Understood!"
"Resolutely obey orders!"
Liu Chang glanced at his cadres and found that Zhu Jiumei was looking down at what was written in pencil on his notebook, so he immediately asked: "How is the Taihu Lake Sailor preparing?" ”
Zhu Jiumei raised her head and replied: "Report the inspection, everything is ready, the fleet can participate in the battle at any time, even the steam warships have been launched in advance, if it goes well, you will see our steam warships sailing on Taihu Lake in May!" ”
"Is thermal coal ready?"
"Everything is ready!" Zhu Jiumei replied: "I have been waiting for the start of this battle for a long time!" ”
Aren't you waiting for the end of this campaign? Liu Chang felt a little melancholy in his heart, but he quickly calmed down his emotions: "Okay, everyone...... Whether the country can be established in the southeast depends on tomorrow's battle, and when you return victoriously, I will celebrate everyone, you are all the founding fathers! ”
"Good!" Lin Mengchu had already spoken: "Check, everyone will wait to drink your celebration wine at that time, I won't say anything about this battle, I'll just say one word, when will our sixty-first infantry regiment be the Great Wall of inspection!" "Set Sail for Fei Feiya
The officers were in a very enthusiastic mood and shouted one after another: "The first war is fixed!" ”
"The First World War will determine the country!"
"It's a good Liu Changyu, it's not easy!"
Unlike the blood boiling in Huzhou Mansion, Huo Qiu felt quite pressure now, and he shouted at his two tiger generals: "This battle has made our Nanxi Shuangyun lose face!" ”
Lu Ziyun argued: "In this battle, we are a small victory against the Qing Demon, and Liu Changyu did not take a big advantage!" ”
"But he didn't lose anything!" Huo Qiu said angrily: "Now that a Liu Changqi is already a big trouble, I heard that Zeng Guofan is going to transfer 3,000 elite troops from Hubei again, we can't lose the title of the first-class main force of our Nanxi Brigade!" ”
