The enemy army has approached, and the Red Flower Society has already been prepared, Lin Hu led an army of 50,000 to the north to block Fu Heng's march route, but Fu Heng did not start attacking immediately after arriving in Zhejiang, but slowed down the speed of the march, as if he wanted to wait for the soldiers and horses of Liangguang, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, and Huguang to arrive before acting together.

After receiving the information sent by the members of the Red Flower Society in the Zhejiang Green Battalion, the staff suddenly had a new idea, and after a few days of hard work, Yang Wenli found Chen Jialuo with a new combat plan.

"Oh? Are you saying that avoiding a big war as soon as possible is the best option for the Red Flower Society? Chen Jialuo asked after flipping through the battle plan he had submitted.

"Yes!" , There was no trace of nervousness in his tone, and he replied confidently, "Chief helmsman, purely from a military point of view, the other side is trying to march on Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Guangdong, and at first glance it seems that the enemy's strength is superior to ours, but our army has an absolute advantage in dealing with the Qing army alone!" Our side is on the inner line, and the transfer of troops is much more convenient than that of the Qing army, so it is easy for our army to defeat the Qing army! So in the overall situation, our army is in a strategic advantage! ”

Well, isn't that the same as the battle of Artis? Chen Jialuo nodded, "Well, you go on!" ”

Yang Wenli took a sip of water and continued, "In other aspects, our army relies on the base area for operational supplies, the Qing army has difficulty in logistics support from afar, and according to the financial resources of the Qing court, it is impossible to support the long-term consumption of such a large army, and the longer our army drags on this operation, the greater the blow to the Qing court's finances!" ”

"Moreover, the Qing army has soldiers from Mongolia, from the capital, and from Liangguang, and there are soldiers everywhere in the south and north, all of them are concentrated around Fujian, and it is inevitable that there will be water and soil adaptation, and the longer the time drags on, the more they will lose their non-combat attrition!" Chen Jialuo said a little more about the problem that Yang Wenli's plan did not mention.

"Yes! We haven't taken that into account yet! ”。 Yang Wenli took a pen and recorded this article, "After I go back, I will go to consult Master Wuyi, and then evaluate the attrition of the Qing army due to water and soil adaptation, epidemics and other reasons according to Master Wuyi's inference!" Other than that. The military discipline of the Qing army is also a big problem, and what kind of virtue these Eight Banner disciples and Green Battalion soldiers are must also know the helmsman. In Shandong and Henan before, they made the people complain. How can these people settle down in the surrounding provinces? The longer they stay, the more resentful the people will be against them, so let's send some more people over there to spread the word, and when the time comes to recover these places, we will get twice the result with half the effort!" ”

"And at the moment, there are quite a lot of recruits in our battalion, who have not yet experienced the battle formation, so we can just take this opportunity to mix them with the veterans and take turns to fight against the Qing army. It can harass the Qing army and consume their strength. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to train the team and increase the actual combat experience to kill two birds with one stone? The more they talked, the more problems they found.

We discussed it until near the evening, and left him for dinner together, and then let him go back to sort out the detailed implementation plan! Three days later, the plan was re-revised, and Chen Jialuo took it after the meeting, and began to coordinate the forces of all aspects of the Red Flower Society, and prepare for a protracted war with the Qing army!

First of all, a defensive military was built in the south, north and west, but fortunately, Fujian was mountainous. There were not many roads into Fujian from these three directions, and even fewer could be used for large armies, so the difficulty of the work was not very great. As for the ocean to the east. Now it's good that the navy of the Red Flower Society doesn't go out to bully others, neither the Zhejiang Navy nor the Guangdong Navy dare to go wild on this ocean, and the Red Flower Society doesn't have to worry about the harassment of the Qing army on the sea.

After another month, Fu Heng finally mobilized an army of 180,000, arranged 40,000 troops in the south and 40,000 in the west, and he himself took an army of 100,000 to prepare to attack Fujian from Zhejiang, but when the mighty army entered the territory of Fujian, what awaited him was a solid earthen wall and winding trenches.

He traveled around the battlefield with his own soldiers and observed for three days. Fu Heng never found the loophole in the Red Flower Society's defense line, so he had no choice but to order his generals to carry out a tentative attack with 10,000 soldiers. This place is originally mountainous. The uneven terrain was not conducive to the deployment of cavalry, coupled with ravines and high earthen walls. The impact of the cavalry could not be exerted at all. Therefore, the first wave of foot soldiers entered the battle, and before they could get close to the earthen wall, they were fired back by a series of guns and artillery, and after repeatedly leaving hundreds of corpses, the first tentative attack of the Qing army was declared a failure.

In the case that the difference in strength is not large, if one side is determined to defend, no matter how good the other party's generals are, there is no way for Lian Po, the god of war to defend with a line, let alone a mere Fu Heng? After half a month of tug-of-war and the loss of more than 3,000 soldiers, Fu Heng reluctantly admitted that this battle could only be fought into a war of attrition.

Fu Heng, as one of the famous generals I can count in the Qing Dynasty, can't take the defense of the Red Flower Society, not to mention those rice bucket generals in Jiangxi and Guangdong, if Chen Jialuo didn't want to keep these troops and consume the financial resources of the Qing court, Lin Hu and Geng Chen would have taken the initiative to bulldoze all these two groups of people!

After staying for a long time, these Eight Banner disciples and Green Battalion soldiers soon recommitted their old ways, and when they were not fighting, they went to neighboring county towns, villages and towns to harm the people, robbed your chickens and ducks today, and scourged the eldest daughter and little daughter-in-law of the landlord tomorrow, and soon made the people everywhere angry.

Zhejiang has been a place of literary style since ancient times, and there are many officials and celebrities living in the countryside in these places, these people are rooted here, and they naturally do not want the countryside to be harassed.

He Shen and these Manchu officials didn't care about this, but they couldn't stand the clear stream like Liu Tongxun in the court, and the old Liu Tou immediately wrote an excerpt after receiving the letter from his friend in the same year, as long as he met Qianlong, he would talk about it, which made Qianlong overwhelmed.

After a while, He Shen couldn't bear it, and the number of 180,000 people eating horses was not a small number, and he began to complain to Qianlong constantly. The two factions of the DPRK and China rarely reached an agreement on this matter, and under this pressure, Qianlong had no choice but to issue an order, allowing Fu Heng to attack as soon as possible, defeat the Red Flower Society as soon as possible, and recover Fujian.
