Chapter 230: Seeking Battle

When he left the mansion, he found Yu Shufeng and Yu Daotai: "Daotai, Hengfutai is for you to follow me to Jin. Washington has made meritorious contributions, let's go! ”

He confessed again: "This time I went to Zhezhong, and I had to pad the money to raise 200 braves, but we really don't have this money and grain in our hands, Yu Daotai, let's say it's good, the money and food for these 200 people will be cushioned by you, and when you get the gold. I'll settle the bill with you after I'll reimburse you. ”

Yu Shufeng clearly knew that his money was a meat bun beating a dog, and there was no return, and there was no such thing in the world that he could borrow money to raise money to recover the capital, he just said very eagerly: "Let's go, take everything that can be taken away, we can't go back to this state capital!" ”

"Yu Daotai is so pessimistic?"

Wu Hongchuan thought that he was pessimistic enough, but he didn't expect this Yu Daotai to be even more pessimistic than himself, and as a result, he thought that the Qing Dynasty could not recover the state capital, and he immediately asked: "Then we went to Jin. What to do after Washington? ”

"What to do? It's a step to go all the way! Yu Shufeng didn't have any proposition in his heart: "We are officials of the Qing Dynasty, can we still be thieves?" ”

But Wu Hongchuan was heartbroken, since the state capital couldn't come back, he had to find a way to sell those land deeds and land deeds as soon as possible, and then get a batch of money to start.

But when it came to Kim. What should I do after Washington? This is a very serious question!

……

Lukewarm. The capital city of the state.

Qu Zhenhan's face was iron-blue, and he finally calmed down: "It's just that Liu Chang refuses to send troops, why is he embarrassed to ask me for fun. Qingxian! ”

Yu Cun replied: "Liu Jian has now gone to the west, and he is also the greatest support for our Red Turban Army!" ”

Xu Fengfei, who has always had a good relationship with Liu Chang in the Red Turban Army, immediately defended Liu Chang: "He went west to conquer the gold office, then we just need to deal with Fu. Build a clear demon on it! ”

But when he thought of the defeat in northern Fujian, Qu Zhenhan couldn't raise his head, and he immediately said: "But Le. Qingxian is the foundation of my Qu Zhenhan! ”

Happy. Qingxian is the starting place of the entire Rainbow Army, and now a group of people who are the core of the Red Turban Army are all Dongxiang people, and the middle level is mostly Xixiang people, the Hongjun started in Lecheng, and then swept the whole Wen, not to mention that Qu Zhenhan himself is a Hongqiao person.

In this case, it is reluctant to let him give up Lecheng, you must know that he sent two sons to guard there, but Yu Cun said a very heartfelt sentence at the next moment: "Even if my Red Turban Army does not hand over Lecheng to Liu Checkpoint, I am afraid that Lecheng will not be for me, and even Wenzhou will not be for me!" ”

This is a big vernacular, and now the Red Turban Army in the entire territory is facing challenges, both the contradictions between the Dongxiang people and the Xixiang people, and there is also joy. Qingren and Yong. The contradictions of the Jiaren, not to mention the successive rebellions.

These rebellions were launched by those wall-riding factions, they saw that the Red Turban Army withdrew from Fujian, so they immediately launched a rebellion, Lecheng because of Qu Zhenhan's two good sons, the scale of the rebellion was larger, so Qu Zhenhan had to make a decision: "Since he is willing to exchange foreign guns and foreign cannons, then good, please trouble Mr. Yu Village to run again, get more foreign guns and foreign cannons, as long as there are enough foreign guns and foreign cannons, I Qu Zhenhan is willing to put the music. Qingcheng let out. ”

He didn't know that Yu Cun had actually become Liu Chang's negotiator, and let him negotiate, that is, to seek skin with the tiger.

Just after sending Yu Village away, he immediately summoned a few core elements of the original incident to talk: "It's okay for Yueqing City to lend Liu Chang for the time being, but what should we do next?" ”

Ni Tingmo, the deputy marshal who had just returned from the defeat in Chuzhou, immediately said: "How to go now? Trapped here, now our red scarf can be said to be a dragon trapped in the shallows, even if all means can't be used! "...,"You should have listened to Liu Chang's words in the first place!" It was Jin Peiquan who spoke: "One heart and one soldier are going north, presumably Liu Chang can't be unique today!" ”

Now although Qu Zhenhan still has 30,000 people under his command, the quality of these 30,000 people is not strong, except for a part of the core troops, most of them are just a rabble, in this case, there is no way to suppress Liu Chang, and even have to rely on Liu Chang's military might to survive.

What's even worse is that now the entire Red Turban Army has room for outward development, and the south is the entire Fu. The province was established, and the Red Turban Army had just been defeated from there, and to the north was Tai under the control of Liu Chang. The state capital can't develop to the north, the east is the sea, and Qu Zhenhan's group of people are all landlubbers and can't get into the water.

It seems that only the western state capital has room for development, but now Liu Chang has made a second expedition to the west and won Jin. Cloud. County, I'm afraid that in the near future, the entire state capital is also Liu Chang's territory, and Taiwan. The state formed a flanking trend.

Not to mention that there is a tendency for Min Yong to suppress the realm in the south, and there are rebellions one after another, so Qu Zhenhan can only shake his head and say: "No matter what, the most important thing is to survive, borrow foreign guns and cannons, and lend Lecheng to Liu Chang for the time being!" ”

Ni Tingmo suddenly smiled bitterly: "Isn't it that I'm the only one left to work alone in Jiangbei!" ”

"Hold on for a few days!" Qu Zhenhan has already made a decision: "The things that have been lent out will have to be taken back sooner or later, let's get a batch of foreign guns and cannons first, and then suppress the rebellion of these dog thieves!" ”

"Still want to take it back?" Jin Peiquan shook his head again and again: "No, this first shot must not be fired by us, we would rather give Lecheng to Liu Jiehu, or we may fire the first shot of cannibalism!" ”

Qu Zhenhan is a decisive figure: "If you don't take back Yueqing City, the hearts of our team will be scattered!" ”

He knows that the entire Red Turban Army is a pleasure. The military group formed by the Qing people as the core, now that the hometown of Lecheng has been lost to Liu Chang, the people's hearts are naturally discouraged: "But if you go back to your hometown and fight back to your hometown, the officers and soldiers will naturally have determination!" ”

Ni Tingmo next to him also felt that this idea was not very suitable, but he asked Jin Peiquan: "Mr. Jin, what do you think?" ”

"This first shot can only be shot by Liu Jiehu!"

Everyone couldn't help but have some disputes, and Jin Peiquan could only continue to insist: "If you want to do this, I don't agree." ”

When Qu Zhenhan was on fire, there was even worse news outside: "The yellow fleet has defected to Ye Niangzi!" ”

The yellow position is the cowhide position, and his fleet is the anti-Qing fleet that drifted on the sea after the failure of the Minnan Xiaodaohui uprising, and this time he went south to northern Fujian, thanks to the support of the yellow team.

But after the defeat and return to Zhejiang, Huang Wei found that he had no room for development, and the foreign surface of Wenzhou has become the world of Ye Niangzi, especially Ye Niangzi now got a few six-pound and twelve-pound Karen cannons from Deng Yang people in Panshi Village.

Although the Cullen cannon has a short range, it can be mounted on a small boat, not to mention that Duncan is also preparing to test the eighteen-pounder Cullen cannon on the red single boat, so they are in a passive position to be flanked from both sides.

To the south is Fu. The encirclement and suppression of the water division of the green camp was built, and the north side occupied the cave. The head of Ye Niangzi's fleet, with Liu Chang's support behind him, and at the same time facing the threat of Bu Xingbu and the Grape Man, in this case, Huang Wei felt that he had made a normal choice, and he led his fleet to leave Qu Zhenhan and go to Ye Yudie.

Although the yellow bit is a blessing. Jianren, Ye. Yu Die is a native of Guangdong, but Ye Yu Die is now facing great pressure from Bu Xing at sea, and she will naturally welcome the arrival of the Yellow Fleet, which will add another strength to her.

It's just that for Qu Zhenhan, this is the worst bad news, now the Red Turban Army has no surface strength, and can only rely on the advantage of land warfare to keep Wen. The state capital, so he made up his mind: "Send someone to catch up and tell Mr. Yu Cun that as long as you can get enough foreign guns and cannons, you can get enough foreign guns. Qingcheng has no problem lending it to Liu Chang. ”…,……

"To the south! To the south!"

Except for the instructors and students of the Shanye Military Academy, as well as a few troops such as the Panshi Battalion and the Second Company of Jintang, the entire Rainbow Army completed a big turn.

They turned from the flat districts and hills of central Zhejiang to the state capital, and on the avenue there were already students of the military academy administrative cadre company mobilizing the people to set up tea, hot soup and cold drinks on the roadside, and even one or two storytellers were there singing the new "History of the Fall of the Ming Dynasty".

The sun was scorching, but the speed of the officers and soldiers increased, and the officers and men made public the goal of the unit this time: "There is a big fat sheep in the state capital, the real big fat sheep, no, it is a big fat pig, everyone speed up, and strive to kill the pig with a knife!"

"Hurry up, hurry up, when you get to the state capital, there will be a good battle to fight!"

"Don't let up! Give us the table. The state is fighting for breath!"

The morale of the officers and men was also croaking, and the first stage of the Jinchu campaign greatly boosted their confidence; although the scorching sun was in the sky and sweat was raining down in June, the hearts of many officers were actually in the bottom of their hearts: "We can finally get a good battle to fight!"

They know that their opponent is a Min Yong, this Fujian army is equipped with a lot of foreign guns and foreign artillery, just waiting for everyone to grab back, although the main force of the Red Turban Army has achieved foreign guns, but there are still many new units that can only be equipped with bird guns: "See, it's a twelve-pound mountain howitzer, if you can grab a few from the Qing Demon for our regiment back, I guarantee that your company will have an official name as soon as it comes back!"

Liu Chang, Shi Tinglan, and Yang Changmei also rode on the horse, feeling the scorching sun, and beads of sweat fell from time to time, but Liu Chang loudly encouraged the officers and soldiers around him: "Let's step up a little bit and strive to settle the battle before the Qing Demon enters the mansion!"

This is Lu Ziyun's suggestion, he feels that if Rao Tingxuan's troops are allowed to enter the city, the battle will be much more difficult, and he should take advantage of the scorching sun in the sky and the opportunity of the extremely slow march of the Fujian army to spare Li. Shuicheng completely annihilated Rao Tingxuan's department in the field battle.

After defeating Min Yong, Li. Shuicheng is isolated and has a good chance of breaking itself.

Liu Chang likes such a good idea.
