"The Wing King wants to go on an expedition to Henan? That's a good thing! ”

Liu Chang casually put the fold sent by Lai Yuxin on the table, glanced at Shi Tinglan and Yang Changmei, and then said: "He wants guns to replenish, and I also agree to come down, but he wants a military number, I can't agree!" ”

Shi Tinglan lowered her head, this matter had something to do with her, and she couldn't and couldn't speak.

However, Xu Yuegui, who had always had a friendship with her, asked: "Your Highness, why did you support the Wing King's expedition and promise to give him guns and cannons, but refused to give him a number?" ”

Now it is a family meeting in Liu Chang's own home, and many words can be picked out clearly, Liu Chang has his own proposition in his heart: "If the Wing King wants a military number, how can I be reluctant, the first righteous kings of the Heavenly King, after removing the Heavenly King, only the Wing King still exists!" ”

Xu Yuegui has already understood, although such harem meetings often talk about family affairs, and even evolve into a feast for meat and silk to meet, but because it is a family, she can set the tone in advance, she asked carefully: "Is it because the Wing King still refuses to come?" ”

Now not only Shi Tinglan lowered his head, but many female officials from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom hung down, after all, this has a close relationship with their past, if Feng Sixian was here, he would still be able to recognize the cold concubine he had met in Tianjing, and now Gong Jin had listened to Liu Chang's instructions very much.

After this period of coexistence, these women of the old Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, especially the concubines of Hong Xiuquan in the past, have completely changed their thinking, they have completely cut off from the past and become female officials of the new regime, and they have too much hatred for the old Heavenly Kingdom.

Liu Chang nodded and said: "Yue Gui is right, now we only have two armies in the Rainbow Army, if the Wing King is willing to come over, what if I give the name of another army!" But now the Winged King won't come, the first rat."

Ends. In this case, if I give him a military name, how can I serve the public! ”

As soon as she heard this, Shi Tinglan secretly resented her brother for coming, he was too small, so he missed such a good opportunity.

Now is the critical time for Liu Chang, the king of Yan, to be the emperor of the system, and he is about to use troops in the world, if he comes over now, Shi Dakai still has tens of thousands of people in Anqing around him. Not only can he become the commander of an army, but he can also be compared with Qu Jie, Huo Qiu, Sun Huzi, and other founding heroes, but his brother's pattern is too small, and he can't let go of his strength, so he has to take refuge in Liu Chang and maintain his independence. In the end, the opportunity was missed.

She is now Liu Chang's concubine, and if Liu Chang is called the Zhang system, Shi Dakai can lead the people to revolt, and hand over the famous city of Anqing, it will be of great benefit to him to fight for the position of queen, but his brother actually missed such a good opportunity.

She had to think about herself, you must know that now she and Yang Changmei are the most promising positions in the main palace, but unfortunately their stomachs are not angry, and Ye Yudie gave birth to a pair of twin daughters. But the background is there, and it's basically no fun to become a queen.

And in addition to Ye Yudie, there are now many new competitors in the harem, Shi Tinglan swept around the body of this group of female officials, but some of them were already pregnant with dragon seeds.

However, Ye Yudie also has her own advantages, when she thought of these, Shi Tinglan couldn't help but sigh slightly, and Ye Niangzi asked over there: "Your Highness is not worried about the breach of contract by the Wing King?" If he refuses to give up Anqing as scheduled, what will he do? ”

Liu Chang replied: "The two lakes are already in my hands. The Anhui battlefield is no longer important. Now the key to the entire battlefield is already in Xuzhou! ”

Compared with Huaibei, which has been reduced to the Yellow Flood Area, Xuzhou is indeed much stronger than the bitter places of Pheasant River and Maozhou. Not to mention that the last powerful force of the Manchus could be relied on was stationed here.

The Jiangnan camp, the Jiangbei camp, the monk army, the Shengbao army, and even a part of the Linhuai army will gather near Xuzhou, facing the increasingly powerful offensive in the south, desperately defending this famous city that is the most critical in the battle between the north and the south.

The Qing army knew very well that if Xuzhou was lost, the whole of Shandong and Henan would fall into the next offensive of the Rainbow army, so they would rather than abandon the city.

It's just that these teams have a new title, and in the past they came from different formations, but now they are collectively called "Liang Wangjun".

Zhang Guoliang, the Han military general who was born in the Han Dynasty, now commands the Qing army in the direction of the entire Jiangsu, and is ready to fight to the death with the Hong Army that is constantly going north, but now he has a sense of frustration: "Lord, I don't think this Xuzhou will be able to hold for long, the center should give a meaning as soon as possible, where should we defend next?" ”

Monk Greenqin still hated Xianfeng's decision to mobilize the monk king, the Shengbao Department and the rest of the Jiangnan camp to Xuzhou: "If it weren't for the hasty loss of Yangzhou, we would have been able to hold it for at least one more year!" ”

When De Axing of the Jiangbei camp heard this, he immediately said angrily: "Monk Greenqin, what do you mean? What does it mean is all the fault of our Jiangbei camp? ”

Monk Lin Linqin knew that the combat effectiveness of the Jiangbei battalion was fragile, but he did not expect that the Jiangbei battalion would lose the entire Yangzhou Mansion almost at the touch of a button.

Unlike the Northern Expeditionary Army, which completely adopted mobile operations, the Marine Brigade adopted the method of constantly expanding its base areas, and they gradually devoured the territory controlled by the Jiangbei Battalion and operated the newly occupied areas into their own base areas.

The Northern Expeditionary Army crossed the border, and it was easy to send troops to recover afterwards, but under the offensive of the Hong Army, whether it was to lose a county or a township, it was a permanent loss, and now even Xuzhou had to be completely lost, so Seng Greenqin had to resentment the incompetence of the Jiangbei camp, and he said angrily: "Dedutong, isn't what I said the truth?" ”

De Axing also made a fuss: "This is our full country, and it is not your turn to be an outsider to talk too much!" ”

No matter how close Seng Lin Geqin is to the Aixin Jueluo family, after all, he is just a Mongolian, and in the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Manchu Qing Dynasty adopted tactics of pulling and fighting against the Mongols, but this really made Seng Lingqin blow up: "De Axing, since you mean this, I won't do it!" ”

Shengbao Sheng Gongbao saw that Seng Lin Geqin and De Ah Xing were arguing, and immediately came forward to uphold justice from the position of a Manchurian: "De Du Tong, this is yours, the Manmeng family, you are talking nonsense, affecting the overall situation, I will behead you!" ”

Shengbao still has some strength to speak, De Axing can only puff up and not speak, but Zhang Guoliang still said that question: "Everyone, everyone is working for the Qing Dynasty, although the number of the Qing Dynasty, I don't think it will last long, but help me get an idea, if we don't guard Xuzhou, where will we guard?" ”

Zhang Guoliang was crowned king at first, at first it was extraordinary, the Qing Dynasty for two hundred years except for the beginning of the country after the three shun kings and the three feudatories, there is no precedent for the king, he can be crowned king by a descendant, this is what an honorable thing.

But he soon found out that this was not a good thing, although stationed in such a critical place as Xuzhou, but the Manchus were busy training new troops with Russian arms, and their teams fighting to the death on the front line were often forgotten, and only a part of the new guns were sent, but they were not at all the opponents of the Marine Brigade Mini rifles.

The greater trouble is the replenishment of soldiers, the history of the Jiangnan battalion is a mercenary, although the name is formed by the green battalion, but the main force is the soldiers of Liangguang, Lianghu and Sichuan, since the retreat to Xuzhou, there are at least thousands of attrition every month, but it is impossible to replenish as before.

First of all, the source of troops in Liangguang was cut off, and now it is impossible to replenish in Lianghu, so they can only get a small number of soldiers from Sichuan, but they are not enough to consume, and they are forced to replenish a part of the natives of Xuzhou and Shandong, but the contradictions between officers and soldiers broke out all of a sudden, and there are more recruits who run than they replenish.

Coupled with the lack of military salaries and food, Zhang Guoliang is desperate now, he just wants to retreat as soon as possible, so that his team can have a chance to breathe.

Although the offensive of the Marine Brigade and the Third Division is not a thunderous attack, once it is entangled for a few hours, most of the team of one or two thousand people will be lost, and if it continues to hold like this, it will be the end of defending to the death, even if there are many of them full of nobles, they are not willing to die meaninglessly in Xuzhou.

"King Liang! King Liang! Therefore, Qin Ruhu, a general from the Jiangnan battalion, said: "The meaning of the center is obvious enough, it is to hope that we will go to Henan!" ”

Standing at the military aircraft, this Liang Wang army is naturally the best to go to Henan, this army has been in a hundred battles for a long time, although it is a defeated division, but after a long period of combat with the Hong army, it already has a set of defensive operations, as long as they join the Henan battlefield, they can hold on to Henan for a few more months.

"To Kaifeng?" Zhang Guoliang's forehead was twisted into a Sichuan character: "That is the place of a hundred battles in Zhongzhou." ”

Monk Lingqin, Shengbao, these Manchus and Mongols did not speak, and they were not willing to go to Henan, the land of a hundred battles, which was equivalent to just getting out of Xuzhou, the land of a hundred battles, and immediately jumping into another endless sea of suffering, facing the endless offensive of the Hong army round after round, dragging the entire army across.

"But don't you want to open it?" Qin Ruhu still said the question bluntly: "Where can we go?" In any case, to feed us 50,000 or 60,000 horses, we have to have a province's territory. ”

It's just that as soon as he said this, someone immediately retorted: "It is precisely because we have 50,000 or 60,000 horses that we must not go to Henan, and now we have only one way to live, and that is ......."

"King Qin!"
