Let's talk about Huang Tao, since he led the First Cavalry Brigade to escape, he has always paid attention to the development of the battle situation, and after returning to Quzhou Mansion to replenish it, the resurrected cavalry brigade set off again.

As a former intelligence officer, he had contacts with intelligence officers in various places, so he received information from Tian Bin and knew that there were 200,000 people behind him who were supplying grain and grass to the three enemy armies, so he began his mission of harassing the enemy's grain routes.

The Qing army transferred so many troops to the south, it can be said that the troops in a large area from Jinhuafu to the Yangtze River were completely withdrawn, and the cavalry brigade was like a dragon swimming into the sea in this gap, tossing happily.

The grain in the states and counties along the road was either robbed or dropped, and all the young and strong were captured back to Jinhua Mansion, and reducing the enemy's war potential was the one that the Huaxia Army was taught the most, so as the general of the Huaxia Army, Huang Tao carried out the most thoroughly, and directly captured the people and sent them to Jinhua Mansion, so that the enemy had no people who could supply them in the back road.

From food to things to use, from the young people to the landlords and squires, the bullies and the strong, all should be killed, and those who should be caught, and in an instant, the enemies and all the living creatures in the space south of the Yangtze River to the territory of the Huaxia Army were cleaned up and archived and sent to the territory of the Huaxia Army.

In addition to the assigned cavalry to do these things, the 1st Cavalry Brigade mainly attacked the enemy's grain transport team, and in a week, the enemy's grain transport team was intercepted by as many as 15 troops, capturing a total of 100,000 people and capturing a million stone of grain.

And Hong Chengchou didn't know that his back road was cut off, and he was harmed.

Now it is not only difficult for them to find a family in Raozhou Mansion, but even it is difficult for the later prefectures to find a formed village, because they were all burned by the Huaxia Army, and the food and population were driven to Jinhua Mansion.

This is Huang Tao's First Cavalry Brigade, and after discussing with the ministers, Wei Wuji felt that it was too aggrieved to be in the territory of the Huaxia Army like this, and more than 100,000 soldiers and horses could only guard the territory, which made him uncomfortable, so he had to dispatch the 15th, 16th, and 17th field brigades to form a new attack spearhead and attack the Qing army on the side of Lu Jianguo.

Anyway, everyone came from the bottom, entered, fought, everyone has experienced, they have led the army, managed civil affairs, everyone has managed, and now there is a not very complete cabinet, which is much better than before when they played internal affairs and military affairs alone.

In addition to Qian Bingjian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who doesn't know how to handle some things, Zhang Mingzhen, Jin Sheng, Zhu Dadian, these are all all-rounders of Yijun and Yizheng, just these three people can support the entire Huaxia Army by any person, and the troika of three people can handle it without worrying about Zhou Congee.

What's more, there is also You Haibo, who has followed the Huaxia Army for many years.

Ten days after Zhang Qiang led the army to attack, Wei Wuji had already mobilized all the men and horses, and successively transferred several field brigades along the coast, fortified layer by layer, layer by layer, and several field brigades in Jinhua Mansion and Shaoxing Mansion at the forefront and Quzhou Mansion became the core of Wei Wuji's army attack.

With Hong Chengchou's desperate mobilization of troops to besiege Raozhou Mansion, the Qing army south of the Huaxia Army was almost completely withdrawn, so Wei Wuji had another opportunity to exert his might.

Three field brigades, a new cavalry brigade, began to attack the Qing army besieging Hangzhou Province, and in the face of muskets and artillery, the Qing army was routed.

Wei Wuji then led the army to besiege Zhenjiang Mansion, and in an instant, in the roar of artillery, Zhenjiang Mansion was breached, and when he stopped to rectify the army, Huang Tao attacked again and cut off the enemy's rear road.

When the various field brigades were advancing upward, Zhang Ying's naval division and marine corps were mobilized ashore by Zhou Congee's order to take over the guarding task of the field brigade, and the coast was taken over by the naval division.

The patrol ships of the naval division still controlled the sea frontier of several hundred nautical miles from Hangzhou to Quanzhou and even farther Zhangzhou at sea, while ensuring commercial trade, they also cracked down on the pirates who had declined, echoing the Tang Dianfeng Department in Baozhong City, Baodao Island, making the Baodao Strait an inland sea strait for the Huaxia Army, and it was not allowed to pass through without the permission of the Huaxia Army.

On this side, when Hong Chengchou launched a fierce attack on Raozhou Mansion the next day, Zhang Qiang annihilated Duoduo's army and forced Duoduo to surrender.

Just by capturing prisoners, the Huaxia army captured nearly 110,000 prisoners, most of whom were green battalion soldiers, because the green battalion Han troops were the main force of the Qing army, and it was not easy to cultivate other Han army flags, and the Qing army could not give them too many people to carry the flag, and become the bannermen of the Han army flags that were higher than the Han slaves.

This is a Manchu ethnic group that does not have the identity of Chinese in other countries and holds the nationality of other countries.

The Han army actually captured more than 30,000 people, and the rest died in the charge, or they were cut down by the overseers behind them.

The Manchus captured more than 10,000, and if you add the Manchu soldiers captured when Azig was killed earlier, Zhang Qiang's Huaxia Army has actually captured more than 20,000 Manchu soldiers.

Coupled with the Manchurians captured in previous battles, the Huaxia Army has reduced the number of Manchurians before entering the customs by more than 50,000 people.

The second most are the Mongolian cavalry and the Mongol Han Chinese, there are 48,000 people, the real Mongols are 18,000, and the rest are Han Chinese of the Mongolian banner, Mongolian Chinese.

The flames of war in Tingzhou Mansion were extinguished, and the Qing army was completely wiped out, including tens of thousands of people who were recruited from Guangxi and Guangdong, and the Huaxia army had one head and two large, and there were too many prisoners, even more than the strength of the Huaxia army.

Zhang Qiang also has a headache.

Zhang Qiang and He Jin discussed how to deal with these prisoners, they definitely couldn't be put here, in case of riots, the bullets couldn't be suppressed.

After the Huaxia Army is rectified next, it will have to face Hong Chengchou and others.

That's more than the army here.

He Jin thought for a long time, and said to Zhang Qiang: "It's better to take them to Treasure Island, anyway, Admiral Tang Dianfeng complains to you every day that there are too few people." ”

"Don't you need a human to work here?"

"Next, we need manpower to develop here, just like we did in the core area of the Huaxia Army, to carry out economic construction, Fujian is mountainous, there are many rivers, and a large number of manpower is needed to spread out?"

He Jin has been fighting in the Huaxia Army over the years, and has changed from a barbaric general in the past to a general with the temperament of a Confucian general influenced by You Haibo's scholars, slowly, touching the upper lip mustache with some white beard on his lips, "Is this, you can transfer the prisoners who have been held in Jinhua Mansion and Taizhou Mansion and the Prefecture Mansion before, and then get Lin Chengcheng over, Lin Chengcheng may not be able to fight, but you have sent him several times to manage the prisoners, but he is definitely a talent." ”

"Well, that's a good proposal, Lin Yangyang is definitely the best candidate for the head of the prison guard." Zhang Qiang nodded slightly, agreeing with He Jin's words.

"You leave some green camp prisoners here, leave 30,000 people, select those prisoners who are forced to join the army, pull the prisoners of Zhuang Ding, and see if they can be transformed into our army when the time comes, and send you the Shangshu Gu Yuesheng of the military department, you cooperate with him to establish a new barracks, transfer a group of recruits from Jinhua Mansion, while guarding Tingzhou Mansion, while helping you guard the prisoners, and after being transformed into our soldiers, join the recruit troops on the spot, and the recruit troops will quickly become an army with the leadership framework of the garrison troops transferred, and in time, They are the garrison of Fujian. ”

"To stabilize the place, it is necessary not only to implement the policy, but also to have a strong force to suppress, and the loyal garrison is the guarantee of the two, to transfer Ruan to attack the Zhangzhou Mansion, where to garrison, echoing you, you take the 10th Field Brigade to be stationed here to prevent the Qing army from Jiangxi from reinforcing the troops, let Ma Weiren's 9th Field Brigade be stationed in Yanping Mansion, and you are the horns of each other, not only to prevent the enemy from attacking you from Jiangxi and Guangdong, but also to prevent the enemy from suddenly attacking Fujian from Raozhou Mansion."

"I think Bai Wenxuan can also stay," He Jindao said.

Zhang Qiang waved his hand, "No, he is newly attached, his loyalty to the Huaxia Army is not good, I have to take it with me to train, his temporary 18th Field Brigade I did not equip him with firearms, it is still a combination of infantry and cavalry, it is my escort unit, this time I fought with the enemy, from the reports from all sides, our army's firearms are not very sufficient, unable to control the enemy's impact, I decided to expand the firearms of each brigade to 4,000 troops according to the original plan. ”

He Jin thought for a while, "I think the current configuration is good, there are archers, crossbow soldiers, pikemen, sword and shield soldiers, and cavalry, plus 1,800 musketeers, and an artillery battalion of 800 to 1,200 troops, which is just right, not only can fight with the enemy hand-to-hand, but also can carry out cavalry impact, and can also give full play to the firepower advantage of our army. ”

Zhang Qiang shook his head, "No, it's too little, it seems that in the battle with the enemy, our army did not give full play to its own firearms advantage, but carried out cavalry combat and infantry hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, we still rely on archers and crossbow arrows, these original long-range troops, such a combination, more advanced than the enemy, but when fighting in large corps, most of the time we have to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy with heavy casualties, which is less than the Qing army's strength in the situation of the Chinese army, the gains outweigh the losses, and we can't consume the Qing army." ”

He Jin took a battle report from the desk on the side, "The results of our army are so brilliant, you look at the new messenger report, our army has blocked the enemy on the front line of Raozhou Mansion for three days, and has eliminated a total of 150,000 enemy troops, while our army has only lost 15,000 troops, and most of them are people and militiamen, and the regular Huaxia army has only lost 5,000 people, and I think our army has surpassed the enemy a lot." ”

Zhang Qiang fiddled with the horse whip in his hand, "That's because the fortifications were done well when I left, our army will fight with the enemy in the Ming land in the vast desert in the future, many times it may be an encounter, if we all play like this, the enemy is not a fool, and will not give us time, just like the encounter between the Second Field Brigade and the Qing Army Mandahai, if it were not for the Qing Army's infantry troops to be a few miles behind, and the cavalry was defeated by the Second Field Brigade, if they arrived, the Second Field Brigade might have been wiped out in the face of three times the enemy." ”

Zhang Qiang stood up, "The Mongolian cavalry that came later told us that the enemy's mobility ability far exceeds that of our army, so our army must increase the intensity of our army's firepower, so that we can strike at the enemy in the encounter and buy time for the arrival of reinforcements, or for the retreat of the troops and gain time for the attack." It's not early, go to sleep, tomorrow the troops will continue to reorganize and replenish the losses, what about you, think about how to run the Tingzhou Mansion, echoing my army to attack the enemy. ”

He Jin saw Zhang Qiang walking to the door, and suddenly said: "Longwu has been taken to Jinhua Mansion, how do we deal with Nanming?" ”
